Declaration & Prayer for Afghanistan
Father, I declare your love over Afghanistan and for everyone who lives there. I pray the good news of your beloved Son would reach every person in this nation.
I thank you Father that you have already poured out your Holy Spirit on all flesh so I am asking for the seeds of your love to bear much fruit in Afghanistan today.
I thank you Father that you are not willing that even one should perish, so may there be an awakening of your goodness in the hearts of all who do not yet believe. May each one experience a radical transformation by the power of your love so they can be born again into your Kingdom through a personal encounter with your Son, Jesus Christ.
Father, I also ask that you would strengthen every believer in Afghanistan and impart to them a greater revelation of your love so they would truly know they are your sons and daughters.
I know that it is your desire for the glory of your love to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. May it be so Father and may believers and non believers alike experience the homecoming that you prepared for them in Christ before you even created the world.
In agreement with your children who are praying this same prayer, I declare the life changing truth that my Father loves Afghanistan!
May your Kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen
