The Lord’s Prayer and Confession

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen and amen and amen.

We petition to come to Your courts of heaven through the Mediator, through the Advocate, through Yeshua — as He is the only one who can pass through the heavens. Yeshua Messiah — just as He did at His first coming, piercing the heavens to enter into Mary's womb, and piercing the heavens to ascend back to the right hand of the Father — we ask that You pierce the heavens, Lord, as we spiritually come before You in Your courtroom, standing before You to ask for righteous rendered verdicts.

It is written in Hebrews 4:14–16, and we claim this: "Seeing then that we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in a time of need."

So Father, we just come to You in the name and blood of Yeshua, covered by the blood of the Lamb, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. We come before You, Lord, knowing that our high priest Yeshua was sinless, yet tempted as we are. We pray for His grace; we pray for the blood of the Lamb to cover us. We pray for righteous rendered verdicts as we come boldly to the throne with our petitions, that we may obtain mercy, grace, love, and righteous rendered verdicts.

Lord, as we enter into these times we are in right now, we need wisdom, knowledge, and instruction. We need cleanliness and purification. Have Your way with us tonight — have Your way with each and every one of us — with conviction, with understanding, through love, through Your grace, through Your mercy. We ask that You come with us, Lord. We ask that we be heard before the courts of heaven right now.

Lord, we ask for the same favor You gave Joshua in Zechariah 3:7. It is written, and we claim this: "Thus says the Lord of hosts: if you walk in My ways and if you keep My commands, then you shall also judge My house and likewise have charge of My courts. I will give you places to walk among these who stand here." Lord, we ask and petition that we be among those who stand before You — one of those by the thousands, by the ten thousands, the tribes of Ephraim, the tribes of Manasseh — worshiping You, coming with You at Your second coming. We ask for that favor; we ask for the favor of righteous rendered verdicts.

We ask You to guide and direct us to receive those verdicts through purification, through refinement — which is ultimately through repentance. Lord, put it on our hearts and minds what we need to confess, what we need to repent of, any hidden sin or private sin blocking us. Lord, open our eyes and ears — our spiritual eyes and ears — so that we can hear You, so that we can stand before You covered by the blood of the Lamb in our white robes.

Lord, we just come before You in confession and in repentance right now. I'm going to confess for everyone, and then we'll get to the petitions. We come before You in repentance; we repent for all of our sins, all of our iniquities, all of our transgressions — everything that we've done against You and against Your holy word. We come before You humbly, yet boldly as Scripture says, to ask for Your forgiveness, to be cleansed and purified, to walk in freedom, to walk in liberty, to walk in jubilee. Lord, we ask that You reveal to every one of us what we need to repent of. Render verdicts so that we can live purified, refined lives, according to what You want for us, and do our part in Your kingdom.

Lord, we stand on the promise of Isaiah 43:25–26. It is written, and we claim this as a community of believers: "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; let us contend together. State your case, that you may be acquitted." Father, we come before You in the mighty name and blood of Yeshua, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to thank You. We thank You for blotting out all of our transgressions for Your sake, for Yeshua's sake, for the Holy Spirit's sake. Thank You for not remembering our sins. Thank You for removing them as far as the east is from the west, as Psalms 103 says. Thank You for purifying us from scarlet to white, as the prophet Isaiah says in Isaiah 1:18.

We thank You, Lord, that You will not remember our sins once we have truly asked for forgiveness — and as we forgive others as well. We ask that You go into remembrance, Lord — just as the prophet said — go into remembrance in the book of Elohim, the book written before the foundation of the world, in the councils of Elohim. We ask that You go into remembrance for every one of our lives. Open the book for every one of us. We know they are opened on the Feast of Trumpets.

Let us contend together, Lord. Holy Spirit, contend together with us. Make our prayers God's will; make our prayers Your will. We know that we will live in peace and receive righteous rendered verdicts when our prayers align with Your will. Curtail our prayers to Your will. Let us contend together, Lord, that we can state our case and be acquitted, so that we can receive the righteous rendered verdicts.

Lord, we put Isaiah 43:25–26 in every one of our books in the councils of Elohim, in the book of life — that You are the one who forgives all of us, You are the one who blots out our transgressions, You are the one who remembers not our sins. You are the one who goes into the remembrance of the books of life with grace, with love, with kindness. You allow us to contend with You — not because we deserve it, but because of the blood of the Lamb and the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for allowing us to state our cases that we may be acquitted.
