Seven Churches in Revelation
FATHER, I pray for ____ in a similar manner in which CHRIST warned the seven churches in Revelation:
Even though ____ is patiently bearing CHRIST’s name I pray that (he/she) find strength (Rev 2:3) in You to repent and do the works (he/she) did at first (Rev 2:5). Even though ____ holds fast to CHRIST and does not deny (his/her) faith, (he/she) lives in the dangerous territory of satan (Rev 2:13). Remind (him/her), FATHER, to not indulge in pleasures offered by the pagan environment (Rev 2:14-15).
Even if ____’s latter works exceed (his/her) first, FATHER, sober (him/her) into remembering that You search mind and heart and see all (his/her) sins (Rev 2:23) of cooperating with the world (Rev 2:20). Convince (him/her), FATHER, to repent (Rev 2:21).
FATHER, inform ____ if (he/she) is lukewarm, thinking (his/her) works are able to stand before You (Rev 3:15-16). It maybe that ____’s works are dead works. If so wake (him/her) up that (he/she) might strengthen
what remains of (his/her) efforts (Rev 3:2
You say, “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent” (Rev 3:19 ESV).
Remind (him/her) of what (he/she) has seen and heard. If any of these failings are (his/hers) (he/she) can overcome and conquer by repenting (Rev 2:5,16,22: 3:3,19). Move (him/her) toward it.
