Luke 21 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Luke 21.

Meditate on verse 28.

But when these things begin to take place,

 straighten up and lift up your heads

 because your redemption is drawing near.

This chapter is full of end time prophecies declared by Jesus.  Some of them have been fulfilled, like verse 6 in 70 AD, and others are happening even as you read this, like verses 25 and 26. 

This chapter is also filled with commands to you from Jesus, like verse 28.  “Straighten up and lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near.” 

Ask God to show you areas in your life where you need to straighten up.  Your time on earth is very short.  It is time to lift up your head and fix your eyes on Christ.

Pray Luke 21:8, 28, 31, 34, and 36 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, do not let _________ and me be misled. 

Help us to straighten up, lift up our heads,

and recognize that Your Kingdom is near. 

Let us be on our guard,

so our hearts will not be weighed down

with dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life. 

Let us keep on the alert at all times,

 praying at all times

that we may have strength to escape

all these things that are about to take place.

In order to stand before You, Jesus~”
