But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”  Acts 1:8 NIV

“Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see.  For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you.  Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.  All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance.  Isaiah 60:1-3 NLT

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”  Matthew 28:18-20 NLT

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.  Philippians 2:15-16 NKJV

Father God, thank You for placing us in our mission field to partner with Holy Spirit and bring Your Kingdom to earth.   When You speak You release the power to back us up.   We declare that we will learn how to recognize God’s voice and heart; to hear, see or sense His presence.   We will connect with God’s love and allow Him to share His heart for others.  We declare that we will recognize the little things that reflect God’s Kingdom; random acts of kindness, encouragement, taking time to listen to people.  We will be ‘salt and light’ using words that honor and respect others.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
