United Kingdom – This Sickness Is Not unto Death

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Friday 11.30am-3.30pm (UK time)

2 Kings 20:1-3
In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’” Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth as witness today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

John 4:13 - 14
Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Prayer Points
  • We admit that the United Kingdom is sick (spiritually dead; laden with sores/bruises/diseases in her body as well as her soul).
  • This sickness appears as though it will terminate her life; let mercy prevail over judgement.
  • Grant us grace to fix our eyes and heart on Jesus instead of the devastation that is crippling our nation and reducing her to ruins.
  • We choose life inside Christ over death in sin; the blessing of Christ in place of curses. We thirst for the Water that Jesus gives that becomes in all citizens of the U.K., a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.
  • Father, remember the labours of martyrs and past witnesses over this land. Restore our nation in righteousness.
  • Let the message of the cross sweep the hearts of all men as waters cover the sea.
  • Lord, please remove the veil that has blinded the minds of men; making them not believe and receive the truth of the gospel.
  • Capture and captivate the hearts of all who minister the Word. Help them see the man of Calvary so that the centrality of their message is CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED.
  • Lord, help us understand and be partakers of Your burden over this nation. Cause our hearts to weep bitterly until You revive her again.
  • Father, stir our hearts like You did to the men in the times of Ezra. Help us present our lives as ditches to be dug into as well as those who will dig ditches. 2 Kings 3:10-2
  • We pray for disciples across the UK; do not let our lives be so porous to leak out Jesus.
  • Make every disciple in the UK a container of Your glory.
  • We pray for more labourers (disciples indeed) that Jesus can entrust HIMSELF to; posted to every sector (medical, finance, politics, education, arts, media, government, civil service etc).
