第一週 - 預備我們的心,好讓上帝可以告訴我們關乎祂的旨意和目的。
關於即將來臨的聯邦選舉,我們將從現在開始一直到選舉當天(九月七日)為止的一個持續34天的禱告季節。 教會可以把下週每天禱告的要點和禱告詞放在當週星期天的教會消息(*週報、通訊等),禱告始於下週二,八月六日。 

第一天 星期一 八月五日
啟示   -  禱告求聖霝帶給澳大利亞一個大能的禱告運動,就是叫澳大利亞百姓確切地為個人認罪和切切地為整個國家的罪惡認同悔改,我們必須意識到我們的國家已經背離了全能者上帝。
經文 - 耶利米2:11-13  歌羅西書2:8-10 

第二天 星期二 八月六日
悔改  - 懇求上帝饒恕我們過去沒有持續為我們的國家領袖和政府禱告的地方。我們的禱告能釋放出屬靈的遮蓋,那是使政府能以有智慧地治理國家所必須有的。 何時沒禱告,政府就會陷入混亂。但禱告落實到位,公平公義就會按著上帝美好的旨意自由運行。
經文 - 提摩太前書 2:1-6  羅馬書 13:1-2 

第三天  星期三  八月七日
悔改 - 禱告求聖霝轉化我們的心思,使我們有新的方式來明白和思考上帝的事,因為作為一個國家我們沒有把上帝放在屬祂的對的位置上。
經文 -  歌羅西書1:15-20 

第四天  星期四   八月八日
回轉 - 禱告在我們國家中,個人的生命和關於獨一真神的教導將有重大的回轉,使我們國家的路線和道德價值觀得以重新定向。
經文 -  約珥書2:12-13  啟示錄 2:4-5 

第五天  星期五   八月九日
更新 -  禱告有一波新的聖霝運動,在澳大利亞基督徒的教會裡點燃對上帝話語和在我們民間社會中傳福音的渴慕。禱告教會的聲音要成為我們的州政府和聯邦政府的先知性引導明燈。
經文 -   箴言11:25  使徒行傳 3:19 

第六天  星期六   八月十日
恢復 -   1606年五月14日,在五旬節那天,費爾南德茲 德 奎羅斯,預言南地(包括澳大利亞)將成為南方聖霝之地。禱告恢復澳大利亞猶太教-基督教的傳承要成為在這國家未來政府的根基柱石。
經文 -  以弗所書 1:16-18 

第七天  星期日   八月十一日
更新 -  就是透過悔改所帶來的在基督裡新的生活方式。禱告聖霝要更新處在日漸世俗化社會中的教會能有更高的權柄和完全性[*可以影響社會及國家]。禱告更新的教會在我們國家的權柄結構系統中能有當得的位置。
經文  -  以賽亞書 40:31   羅馬書 12:2


WEEK 1 - PREPARING OUR HEARTS SO THAT GOD CAN SPEAK TO US OF HIS WILL AND PURPOSE
With the calling of the Federal Elections we now begin a season of prayer which will last for 34 days up to and including the date of the election itself on 7th September. Material for the first week follows below. So that Churches can include the daily prayer points and readings in their Church notices each Sunday, weekly material for subsequent weeks will be sent on the Tuesday of each week commencing this coming Tuesday 6th August

DAY 1  MONDAY  5th  AUGUST
Revelation  -   Pray for a mighty move of the Holy Spirit to bring a conviction of our personal sin as Australians and our corporate sin as a nation, resulting in a much needed awareness that as a nation we have turned away from Almighty God.Scriptures  - Jeremiah 2: 11-13  Colossians 2: 8-10

DAY  2  TUESDAY  6th  AUGUST
Repent  -  Asking God's forgiveness for where we have in the past failed to collectively pray for our national leaders and Government. Our prayers provide the prayer cover that is necessary for  Governments to rule wisely, with Godly authority and in the best interests of all people who make up our nation. When it is not forthcoming, Governments can fall into chaos and confusion but when properly in place righteousness and justice can flow according to God's perfect will.
Scriptures  - 1 Timothy 2:1-6  Romans 13:1-2

DAY  3  WEDNESDAY  7th  AUGUST
Regret  -  Pray for a Holy Spirit transformation of our minds, for a new way of understanding and thinking about the things of God, because as a nation we have failed to give God His rightful place.
Scriptures  - Colossians 1:15-20 NLT

DAY  4   THURSDAY  8th  AUGUST
Return  -  Pray for a significant turn back within our nation to the person and teachings of the One true God resulting in a re-direction of the nation's ways and moral values.
Scriptures  - Joel 2:12-13  Revelation 2:4-5

DAY  5  FRIDAY  9th  AUGUST
Refresh  -  Pray for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit to ignite a greater desire in the Christian Church in Australia for the Word of God and the proclamation of the Gospel in our secular society. Pray that the voice of the Church will become a prophetic guiding light to our Governments at both State and Federal level.
Scriptures  -  Proverbs 11:25  Acts 3:19

DAY  6  SATURDAY  10th  AUGUST
Restore  - On the Day of Pentecost 14th May 1606 Fernandez de Quiros, in the name of Jesus Christ, took possession of The South Lands of the Holy Spirit, which included Australia. Pray for the restoration of Australia's Judeo-Christian heritage as the foundation of future governments in this nation.
Scriptures - Ephesians 1:16-18

DAY  7  SUNDAY  11th  AUGUST
Renewal  -  Is a new way of living in the freedom Christ brings through repentance. Pray for the Holy Spirit to renew the Christian Church to a greater place of authority and integrity in an increasing secular society. Pray that a renewed Church will be able to take its rightful place in the authority structure of our nation.
Scriptures  -  Isaiah 40:31  Romans 12:2
