Wednesday Night Prayer | August 13, 2025 | Dung Gate

The Refiner’s Gate or Dung Gate represents deliverance or elimination. It’s a picture of forgiving and letting go of. It’s an image of getting rid of things that are unhealthy in our lives. A place where we can allow Holy Spirit to purify our hearts. We are petitioning the Lord today for ourselves, the Tampa Bay region, the state of FL, and our nation to experience His refining fire. We believe by faith that we will turn away from evil and return to Him. We declare that we will once again be known as The Bay of the Holy Spirit.

Malachi 3: 3 (HCSB) He will be like a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will present offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

1st Prayer Point: It is the work of the Holy Spirit to convict us personally of sin. We are asking Holy Spirit to search our hearts and lead us into repentance. Lord, take us through your refining fire.

• Father, we are asking for you to search our hearts today and reveal to us any offensive way in us.
• Holy Spirit we are asking for you to expose, correct, and remove the mixture in our lives.

Matthew 7: 21-23 (HCSB) “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but [only] the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?’  23 Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers! ‘

Revelation 3: 15-19 (HCSB) I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I’m rich; I have become wealthy, and need nothing,’ and you don’t know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked, 18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, and white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and repent.

• Pray that as we, who are called by His name, turn from our wicked ways and seek His face that we will see Him forgive our sins and heal our land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (HCSB) and My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

2nd Prayer Point: Lord, many of us are in the furnace of suffering right now. We lift each other up to you and ask for your comfort and strength to be released.

• We are crying out for your refining to come in the midst of these sufferings.Let Your refining fire build character and purity in us in the midst ofsuffering.

Romans 5: 3-5 (HCSB) And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, 4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

• Let Your refining fire build our faith even in the most difficult trials.
• Father, we invite your presence to come and comfort all who are suffering for your sake. We declare your promise, they are blessed!

1 Peter 3:14 (NKJV) But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”

1 Peter 5: 9-10 (NKJV) Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

3rd Prayer Point: We stand in the gap and repent for the Tampa Bay region and those who live here, just like Daniel did. We ask that you order your angels to come swiftly to minister on our behalf. (Daniel 9:20-23)

• Lord, we are repenting today on behalf of the entire Tampa Bay region.
• We partner with You Jesus to stand in the gap for our city, for this region.

Ezekiel 22:29-30 (NKJV) The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

• We specifically repent for the human trafficking that is taking place in our region.
• We ask that You forgive us of all other corruption that is taking place in the Tampa Bay region.
• Lord, forgive us, the Church, for allowing competition and division to come between us.

4th Prayer Point: We are joining the Church, the Ecclesia, in praying for our Nation. Lord, we need purification from You to come to America. We are asking for the Refiner’s fire to burn across our great nation.

• We bind away apathy, boredom, the spirit of slumber, and luke-warmness from the Church. And we ask that You release a new passion and boldness into the Body of Christ.
• Give us a spirit of knowledge and understanding of what is happening in our world and how to pray for our local, state, and federal governments.We are asking for your grace to know how to pray and how to help.

Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

• Holy Spirit, help us speak the truth and reveal to us how we can minister Your love to others throughout our days.

Matthew 6: 10 (NKJV) Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

• We are asking for an even greater awakening to spread throughout this nation. Lord, we ask that you reveal the spiritual wickedness that seeks to manipulate and control our nation. Deliver our nation with Your fire!
• We declare the Lordship of Jesus over the United States of America!

Psalms 33: 8-12 (NKJV) Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. 11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

• Pray for revival fire to fall in: our homes, our church, the entire Tampa Bay region, Florida, and the USA.
