Philippians 1 (Part 2) - Praying God's Word

Please read Philippians 1.


Meditate on this phrase from verse 19.

Prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ

I have been praying Philippians 1:3-6 and 9-11 over my family for more than twenty-five years. They were the verses you prayed yesterday. Today, you have read Philippians 1 again because there are more treasures to pray.

“The provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ” is a captivating phrase in verse 19. Keeping the phrase in context, you read that Paul knew he would be delivered, and deliverance would come through the prayers of the believers at Philippi and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Paul was imprisoned in Rome when he wrote this letter, and he needed help. He never mentioned hiring the best lawyer in Italy to come to his defense. He knew God would defend and provide for him. Paul knew that the prayers of the faithful were key to unlocking that provision of the Spirit.

DO NOT be lazy in your prayer life! Like Paul, your loved ones need help, and they need a faithful, prayerful watchman, someone who will remind the LORD day and night of their needs. Take no rest for yourself and give Him no rest until He establishes those you love (Isaiah 62:6-7).

Pray Philippians 1:19, 22, and 27 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please give and me

the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

 so we will be involved in fruitful labor.

Christ, help us conduct ourselves

in a manner worthy of Your Gospel.

In Your name, Jesus~”
