15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
romans 8:15-17
Father God today i come before you and i continue to ask for the Holy Spirit. God i'm asking for the Spirit of adoption. God i ask on behalf of your sons and daughters, that we may receive the Spirit of adoption, that we may fully understand our identities as your sons and daughters. I pray that every person who calls upon your name would receive the Holy Spirit, and the understanding that You give freely to those who believe. God we thank you for the Spirit of adoption, that gives us confidence and boldness to enter into your presence and come before you throne. we thank you for the Spirit of adoption, that allows us to walk in our inheritance--that our inheritance is the kingdom of heaven, and every good and perfect gift that comes from Father God.
i'm asking for the Spirit of adoption--one that displaces all fear and timidity. thank you that the spirit of adoption gives us eternal acceptance and eternal value. God i pray against every believer who has been under submission to the orphan spirit--anyone that has been living in anything short of the fullness of our inheritance, anything short of our realization of our worth found in your eyes. God i pray against the orphan spirit, the spirit that is fearful to come before you.
God i'm praying for all nonbelievers at UCSD, those who are looking for love and acceptance, a family, safety and security in all the wrong places. God i'm asking for you to pour out the spirit of adoption on nonbelievers, that they may feel accepted by you. God i'm asking for prodigal son moments, where young men and women would feel the embrace, the delight, and acceptance of Father God, and many would come running into your arms.
give us the Spirit of adoption in Jesus' name.
