1. My Prayer & Confession
"VICTORY IN EVANGELISM"
An NIV scripture paraphrase
by Leslie McNulty
I thank my God every time I remember you.
In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with
joy because of your partnership in the gospel from
the first day until now, being confident of this, that
he who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1:3-6
AUTHORITIES
1 Timothy 2:1-8 I urge, then, first of all, that requests,
prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for
everyone— 2for kings and all those in authority, that we
may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness
and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge
of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave
himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its
proper time. 7And for this purpose I was appointed a
herald and an apostle...
Romans 13:1 Everyone must submit to the governing
authorities, for there is no authority except that which God
has established. The authorities that exist have been
established by God. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to
the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but
also because of conscience.
...We thank you Lord each Evangelist finds favor
with all Government Authorities for permitting,

2. outreaches and every necessary regulatory aspect
of their ministries.
6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's
servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give
everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if
revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor,
then honor. 8Let no debt remain outstanding, except the
continuing debt to love one another...
We call the ministry of each evangelist amply
financed. We thank you Lord that no debt(s) or
taxes or unpaid bills will remain for any of their
ministries...
Phil 4:8,19 we have all, and abound: we are full,
having received... the things which were sent... an odor of a
sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God and
19my God shall supply all your need according to
his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY PREACH
2 Thessalonians 3:1-10 Finally, brothers, we pray ...
that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly
and be honored... 2 And pray that we may be
delivered from wicked and evil men, for not
everyone has faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will
strengthen and protect you from the evil one. 4 We have
confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue
to do the things we command. 5 May the Lord direct your
hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.
Colossians 4:2-4 Further Instructions Devote yourselves to
prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And pray for us,
too, that God may open a door for our message, so
that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for

3. which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it
clearly, as I should.
FAITH & COURAGE
Ephesians 6:18-20 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions
with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be
alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 19 Pray
also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words
may be given me so that I will fearlessly make
known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an
ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it
fearlessly, as I should...
Acts 4:29-33 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable
your servants to speak your word with great
boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and
perform miraculous signs and wonders through
the name of your holy servant Jesus." 31 After they
prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word
of God boldly.
1 Thessalonians 1:2-12 We always thank God for all of
you, mentioning you in our prayers. 3We continually
remember before our God and Father your work
produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your
endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen
you, 5because our gospel came to you not simply
with words, but also with power, with the Holy
Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we
lived among you for your sake. 6You became imitators of us
and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed
the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. 7And so
you became a model to all the believers… 8The Lord's
message rang out from you —your faith in God has
become known everywhere.

4. 1 Thessalonians 3:10-13 Night and day we pray
most earnestly that we may see you again and
supply what is lacking in your faith. 11Now may our
God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for
us to come to you. 12May the Lord make your love increase
and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as
ours does for you. 13May he strengthen your hearts so
that you will be blameless and holy in the presence
of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with
all his holy ones.
2 Thess 1:11-12 ...we constantly pray for you, that
our God may count you worthy of his calling, and
that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose
of yours and every act prompted by your faith. 12
We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be
glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our
God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE HARVEST
Matthew 9:36-38 When he saw the crowds, he had
compassion on them, because they were harassed and
helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to
his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are
few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out
workers into his harvest field."
Psalm 2:8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your
inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
Lord, we ask you to send forth Laborers to help each one of
the evangelists and their teams. We thank you for workers!
And we ask you for the
NATIONS FOR OUR INHERITANCE!
