Section II Father of mercy and grace, We acknowledge that we have sinned and that our world is gripped by the power of sin. Our hearts are grieved by injustice, hatred, anger and violence. We are shamed by oppression, racism and bloodshed in our land. We mourn the loss of innocent life in abortion, war and terrorism, persecution and senseless murders. Our homes are broken by selfishness and immorality. Our lives are polluted by greed, idolatry and sexual sin. Our churches are divided by rebellious pride. All the sins that we may find in our world, You have found among Your people. We have grieved Your heart and brought shame to Your Name. We approach Your throne of grace in this hour of need. We ask for Your mercy and Your help to repent with all our hearts. Congregation: God of mercy, pour out Your grace. Forgive our sins. Heal our land. Spirit of the living God, We confess that we can do nothing apart from You. Be poured out upon all flesh. Transform the Church into the image of Jesus Christ. Release Your power to bring healing to the sick, freedom to the possessed, comfort to those who mourn and release for those who are oppressed. Come and melt the hearts of people to love again. Answer the call of the homeless, the hungry, the helpless and the dying. Enfold orphans, widows and the elderly in Your arms. Display Your mercy and provide for our needs. Give us wisdom and insight for the complex problems we face today. Help us to use the resources of the earth for the well-being of all. Pour Your love into our hearts and fill us with compassion. Congregation: Holy Spirit, we need Your comfort and guidance. Come and transform our hearts. Section III Lord Jesus Christ, Because You were dead, but are now risen; and because the Father has given You a name above all names, You will defeat all powers of evil. We pray for the tearing down of strongholds and ideologies that hinder and resist the spreading of the knowledge of God. We resist the plan of the enemy to keep nations in darkness. Remove the veil that covers the peoples. Restrain the evil that promotes violence and death. Bring deliverance from demonic oppression. Break the hold of slavery, tyranny and disease. Fill us with courage to preach Your word fearlessly; and give us a spirit of intercession to pray for the lost faithfully. Congregation: Almighty God, deliver us from evil and the Evil One. King of Glory, Come to the nations of the world. We welcome You to finish Your work in our cities, our peoples and our nations. We now lift our voices in unison with believers from Africa and Asia, from the Middle East and Europe, from North and South America, and from Australia and the Pacific Islands - together we cry: Congregation: Lift up your heads, O you gates! Be lifted up ancient doors so that the King of glory may come in! As Your deeds increase throughout the earth, and as Your blessings abound to all the nations, they will seek You, asking, “Who is this King of glory?” Together we will answer: Congregation: He is the Lord Almighty! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Come fill the earth with Your glory as the waters cover the sea. The Spirit and the Bride say: Congregation: Amen! Come Lord Jesus! Sección II Padre de misericordia y gracia, Reconocemos que hemos pecado y que nuestro mundo está bajo el poder del pecado. Nuestros corazones se estremecen ante la injusticia, el odio, la ira, y la violencia. Nos avergüenza la opresión, el racismo y el derramamiento de sangre en nuestro mundo. Lamentamos la pérdida de vidas inocentes por el aborto, la guerra y el terrorismo, la persecución y el homicidio. Nuestros hogares están destruidos por el egoísmo y la inmoralidad. Nuestras vidas están contaminadas por la avaricia, idolatría y lujuria. Nuestras iglesias están divididas por el orgullo rebelde. Todos los pecados que acosan el mundo los puedes encontrar también entre Tu pueblo. Hemos causado dolor a Tu corazón y deshonrado Tu Nombre. En esta hora de necesidad venimos ante Tu trono de gracia. Rogamos por Tu misericordia y Tu ayuda para arrepentirnos de todo corazón. Congregación: Dios de misericordia, derrama Tu gracia. Perdona nuestros pecados. Sana nuestra tierra. Espíritu del Dios viviente, Confesamos que nada podemos hacer fuera de ti. Derrama Tu Espíritu sobre toda carne. Transforma a la Iglesia a la imagen de Jesucristo. Desata Tu poder de sanidad sobre los enfermos, Tu poder de libertad a los cautivos, de consuelo a los afligidos y de libertad a los oprimidos. Ven y suaviza el corazón del hombre para que de nuevo pueda amar. Responde al llamado de los indigentes, los hambrientos, los indefensos y los moribundos. Acoge en Tus brazos a los huérfanos, las viudas y los ancianos. Demuestra Tu misericordia y suple nuestras necesidades. Danos sabiduría y entendimiento ante los problemas tan complejos que enfrentamos hoy día. Ayúdanos a usar los recursos naturales para el bien de todos. Derrama Tu amor en nuestro corazón y llénanos de Tu compasión. Congregación: Espíritu Santo, necesitamos Tu consuelo y consejo. Ven y transforma nuestros corazones. Oración por las naciones “...alzaron unánimes la voz a Dios...” Hechos 4:24 Sección I Dios Poderoso – Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, Unidos con creyentes de todo el mundo nos juntamos hoy para honrar y glorificar Tu nombre. Nos postramos ante Tu trono y reconocemos que Tú eres el Creador del cielo y la tierra. No hay nadie como Tú, santo y justo en todos Tus caminos. Nos sujetamos a Tu autoridad y soberanía como Rey del universo. Oramos a una voz, cediéndote el trono de nuestro corazón, para honrarte ante todo el mundo. Congregación: Señor y Dios, sólo Tú eres digno de nuestra alabanza y adoración. Te alabamos. Padre nuestro en el cielo, Gracias por amar tanto al mundo que diste a Tu único Hijo Jesucristo a morir en la cruz por nuestros pecados para ser reconciliados a ti. Gracias por darnos el derecho de llamarte Padre y ser llamados Tus hijos a través de nuestra fe en Jesucristo nuestro Salvador. Nada nos puede separar de Tu amor. Congregación: Gracias Padre por adoptarnos en Tu familia. Ahora podemos clamar: ¡Abba Padre! Señor Jesucristo, Sólo Tú eres digno de abrir los libros de la historia pues Tú fuiste inmolado y nos has redimido con Tu sangre. Proclamamos que eres la Cabeza de la Iglesia y Señor del cielo y la tierra. Llama a gente de toda tribu y lengua a ser Tus seguidores. Que Tu Reino sea establecido en toda nación para que los regidores gobiernen con rectitud y justicia. Que el evangelio sea presentado a toda persona. Que Tu bendición traiga consigo transformación en cada pueblo. Y que Tu Nombre sea exaltado desde que sale el sol hasta que se pone. Congregación: Cristo Jesús, eres el Salvador del mundo y Señor de toda la creación. Sección III Señor Jesucristo, Porque estabas muerto mas ahora vives; y porque el Padre te ha dado un nombre sobre todo nombre, triunfarás sobre todos los poderes del mal. Te pedimos que derribes las fortalezas e ideologías que entorpecen la difusión del conocimiento de Dios. Nos resistimos ante el plan del enemigo de mantener a las naciones en las tinieblas. Quita el velo que cubre los ojos de los pueblos. Subyuga el mal que promueve la violencia y la muerte. Trae libertad de la opresión demoníaca. Rompe el dominio de la esclavitud, la tiranía y la enfermedad. Llénanos de valor parra predicar Tu Palabra sin temor; y danos un espíritu de intercesión para mantenernos fieles en oración por los perdidos. Congregación: Dios Todopoderoso, guárdanos del mal y del maligno. Rey de Gloria, Ven a las naciones del mundo. Ven a completar Tu obra en nuestras ciudades, pueblos y naciones. Elevamos nuestra voz junto con creyentes de África, de Asia, del Medio Oriente, de Europa, de Norte, Centro y Sur América, de Australia y de las Islas del Pacífico, y al unísono clamamos: Congregación: ¡Alzad, oh puertas, vuestras cabezas! ¡Y alzaos vosotras, puertas eternas, y entrará el Rey de gloria! Cuando Tu obra en la tierra aumenta, y abunda Tu bendición sobre las naciones, te buscarán preguntándose: "¿Quién es este Rey de gloria?" Y juntos clamaremos: Congregación: ¡El Señor Todopoderoso! Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor! Ven llena la tierra con Tu gloria como las aguas cubren el mar. El Espíritu y la Novia claman: Congregación: ¡Amén! ¡Ven Señor Jesús!
