Praying for the Nations (Four Pillars for Daily Prayer) ©2006 by Dick Eastman  International President Every Home for Christ Phone: 719-260-8888  www.ehc.org

Foundational Scripture Genesis 28:10-19 (NLT) 10) Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and traveled toward Haran. 11) At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone for a pillow and lay down to sleep. 12) As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from earth to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down on it.

13) At the top of the stairway stood the LORD, and he said, "I am the LORD, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I will give it to you and your descendants.

14) Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth 14) Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will cover the land from east to west and from north to south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants.   

15) What's more, I will be with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. I will someday bring you safely back to this land. I will be with you constantly until I have finished giving you everything I have promised."   

16) Then Jacob woke up and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I wasn't even aware of it.“ 17) He was afraid and said, "What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the house of God--the gateway to heaven!"   

18) The next morning he got up very early 18) The next morning he got up very early. He took the stone he had used as a pillow and set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it. 19) He named the place Bethel--"house of God”…   

Genesis 35:1 (The Message) Foundational Scripture Genesis 35:1 (The Message) God spoke to Jacob: "Go back to Bethel. Stay there and build an altar to the God who revealed himself to you…”

Foundational Scripture Ezekiel 4:1-2a (NIV) 1) “Now, son of man, take a clay tablet, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. 2) Then lay seige to it…  

2 Thessalonians 3:1 (The Message) Foundational Scripture One more thing, friends: Pray for us. Pray that the Master's Word will simply take off and race through the country to a groundswell of response, just as it did among you.

Pillar One: 1 Open _____ Doors Penetration Key Word: __________

Colossians 4:2-3 (NIV) 2) Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3) And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

1 Corinthians 16:9 (The Message) A huge door of opportunity for good work has opened up here. (There is also mushrooming opposition.)

Romans 15:20-21 (NLT) 20) My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.

21) I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, "Those who have never been told about him will see, and those who have never heard of him will understand."

Isaiah 52:10 (NLT) 10) The LORD will demonstrate his holy power before the eyes of all the nations. The ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Pillar Two: 2 Open _____ Minds Revelation Key Word: _________

Acts 26:16-18 (NIV) 16) “Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you.

17) I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles 17) I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18) to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.”

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (NLT) 3) If the Good News we preach is veiled from anyone, it is a sign that they are perishing. 4) Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don't understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

1 Corinthians 2:8-10 (NLT) 8) But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would never have crucified our glorious Lord. 9) That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined that God has prepared for those who love him."

10) But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and his Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God's deep secrets.

3 Open ______ Key Word: ____________ Reconciliation Pillar Three: Hearts Open ______ Key Word: ____________ Reconciliation

2 Timothy 2:24-25 (NLT) 24) The Lord's servants must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone. They must be able to teach effectively and be patient with difficult people. 25) They should gently teach those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will believe the truth.

Lamentations 3:40-41 (NKJV) 40) Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the LORD; 41) Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven.

2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (NIV) 17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18) All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

Ephesians 1:18a (NLT) 18) I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called…  

Ephesians 3:17 (NLT) …I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.   

Ephesians 5:8 (NLT) For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it!   

4 Open _______ Key Word: _____________ Transformation Pillar Four: Heavens Key Word: _____________ Transformation

Isaiah 45:8 (NLT) 8) Open up, O heavens, and pour out your righteousness. Let the earth open wide so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together.

Habakkuk 2:14 (NIV) 14) For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 11:9b-10 (NLT) 9) …And as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the LORD. 10) In that day the heir to David's throne will be a banner of salvation to all the world. The nations will rally to him, for the land where he lives will be a glorious place.

Deuteronomy 28:1-6; 9-10, 12a (The Message) 1) If you listen obediently to the Voice of GOD, your God, and heartily obey all his commandments that I command you today, GOD, your God, will place you on high, high above all the nations of the world. 2) All these blessings will come down on you and spread out beyond you because you have responded to the Voice of GOD, your God:

3) GOD's blessing inside the city, GOD's blessing in the country; 4) GOD's blessing on your children, the crops of your land, the young of your livestock, the calves of your herds, the lambs of your flocks. 5) GOD's blessing on your basket and bread bowl; 6) GOD's blessing in your coming in, GOD's blessing in your going out…

9) GOD will form you as a people holy to him, just as he promised you, if you keep the commandments of GOD, your God, and live the way he has shown you. 10) All the peoples on Earth will see you living under the Name of GOD and hold you in respectful awe…

12) GOD will throw open the doors of his sky vaults and pour rain on your land on schedule and bless the work you take in hand…
