Galatians 1 - Praying Scripture

Please read Galatians 1.
Meditate on verses 15-16a.

But when God, Who had set me apart
even from my mother’s womb
 and called me through His grace
was pleased to reveal His Son in me
so that I might preach Him…

As Paul preached salvation by grace, Judaizers (Jews who embraced Christianity yet taught that some of the Law, including circumcision, still must be observed to really be saved) were following him preaching a gospel contrary to the Truth (Galatians 1:9).  Paul wrote this letter to the Christian church in Galatia to counter false teaching and to proclaim righteous freedom through faith in Christ. 

Paul knew God freed him from sin so he could live the rest of his life for Christ.  Paul was confident of God’s call in his life: to tell others about the grace of God and the freedom from sin through Jesus Christ.

God set you apart from your mother’s womb for the same purpose.  His plan for you is to be rescued from sin, to be saved to Christ, and to tell others about the amazing life God has for them.

Pray Galatians 1:3-5 over someone you are standing guard for as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“God, my Father, and my Lord Jesus Christ,
extend Your grace and peace to _____________.
You gave Yourself for their sins.
According to Your will and for Your glory,
 rescue them from this present evil age.

For the sake of Your Name, Jesus~”
