You know the events that took place throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who were under the tyranny of the devil, because God was with him. (Acts 10:37-38)
Lord Jesus, I want to follow in your footsteps, continuing your mission. There are still so many who are hurting around me because they are living under the tyranny of the devil. They need to be set free.
Help me to preach the gospel you commanded: that the Father has appointed you as the judge of the living and the dead. But through your name and faith in you, they can know forgiveness, not just on judgment day, but right now.
Anoint me with your Spirit and your power. I want to do what you did, every day doing good to the people around me and bringing spiritual healing to all those living under Satan’s tyranny.
But not just me, let your whole church be a force in this land.
In your name I pray, amen.
