Noon Prayer 12.6.2023
MOUNTAIN OF ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
In this mountain, we find some of the most influential forces shaping our society. Music, art, filmmaking, television, books, the performing arts, and even sports drive our cultural tastes, values, and standards, particularly in our youth.
In Genesis, God is introduced to us as Creator and He has never stopped creating. He is joyfully creative, and the manifestation of His creativity brings Heaven’s wow factor to earth. This aspect of God will draw nations unto Him when we represent Him as Creator properly.
Psalms 16:11 (NKJV) 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
If God as Creator can impact even His throne room of glory with maximum joy and pleasure, then just think what will happen here on earth when we allow His creativity to flow through us.
- Pray for believers in this sphere of society to co-labor with God the Creator in all they say and do.
- The glory of God is meant to be seen in all who entertain and create. Ask the Lord to release creativity and abilities that have never been seen on earth before.
- Pray that believers influencing this mountain will begin to bring heaven’s wow factor to earth through the manifestation of His creativity through them.
Isaiah 60:1-3 (NKJV) Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.
The glory of God is to be seen on us as an antidote to darkness. He desires His children to carry His light and glory into this area of culture.
- Lord, let your glory shine over your children in this area of influence to bring your light to the darkness that covers the earth and light to the total darkness that covers the people.
- Pray for His glory to be released in the Arts and Entertainment Mountain.
- Pray Habakkuk 2:14, that the knowledge of His glory will cover the earth through the arts and entertainment sphere.
- Pray that we will partner with Him in expressing His splendor and glory with never-before-seen creative genius.
2 Corinthians 4:6 (NIV) 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
We want to pray for our Christian brothers and sisters who already occupy these mountains.
- We praise God for the Christians who are taking a stand for Biblical values in these areas of influence. Lord, we ask that you dispatch angels now to protect them and minister on their behalf.
- Pray for their boldness, that they will be like Nehemiah. Lord, may they be focused on doing your work, not surrendering to discouragement, distractions, or efforts to frustrate your purpose.
- May they be men and women after your own heart, and let success and favor be upon them to do your will.
- Pray for them to be a beacon of light that will outshine all darkness in these areas of influence.
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 (HCSB) 1There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven: 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance;
God has wired us for happiness. When we are happy our bodies naturally release chemicals and hormones that are good for our mental and physical health. He delights in us having fun and being happy.
Having fun and feeling happy affects our body, soul, and spirit.
- We come out of agreement with the lie that God doesn’t want us to have fun. This lie causes us to believe that the way we entertain ourselves is irrelevant to God because He’s not interested and too serious or holy to have fun or care about our happiness.
- Pray that the Lord will expose any form of entertainment that we have made part of our life that isn’t healthy for us or that’s not pleasing to Him. Lord, we repent and choose to turn away from these things.
- Help us Lord to engage in healthy celebrations and entertainment.
- Pray for those in The Crossing family who have forgotten how to have fun. Lord, help them to discover what brings them happiness and joy. And, help them to engage in these things once again.
