Sunday Songs Series: “Amazing Grace” from 50 Countries

Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,“

“Amazing Grace”… How should we introduce this song? We could mention statistics like the fact that it has been recorded on over 11,000 albums, and is likely the most popular Christian song of all time. We could mention its global appeal, from John Newton’s testimony that first penned it, to translations in a myriad of languages and dialects, all the way around the world and back to the United Kingdom’s Scottish bagpipers. We could talk about the joy its truth brings new believers, and the hope and comfort it whispers at funerals.

But if you know, you know… and the song really needs no other introduction. His grace is and always shall be amazing because He is amazing. And all God’s people said, “Amen.”

Pray for today to be the day of salvation for a person from each of the 50 countries represented in the linked song.
Pray for Christians from each of those 50 countries to be encouraged today by the fact that the same grace that has brought them through many dangers, toils, and snares will lead them all the way Home.
Pray for a person living in your town/city who has been resisting the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in relation to sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-10). Pray for the second verse of Amazing Grace to become a reality in that person’s soul: it is God’s grace that teaches a heart to fear, and the same grace which relieves that fear.

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

TGP’s 4th Birthday: Pray for many people to join our prayer team this year, and praise God for bringing a new person this week!
W. Fordham Rd., between Grand Ave. & University Ave., NYC: One day, Jesus walked by a couple pairs of brothers who likely routinely sold their catches of fish at Capernaum’s fish market. When Jesus said, “Follow Me,” they obeyed. Pray for a worker at Arubia’s Fish Market to have the same response.

An umbrella can be compared to Jesus, in that He is the One Who shields us from the righteous judgment of sin because He experienced the impact of that wrath in our place. Pray for the two people pictured above, that they will hear how to take refuge under His offer of salvation, and do so.
Pray for the people who secured the white and green signs to the telephone pole, that just as they did so hoping to catch people’s attention to read their specific announcements, so their own attention will be drawn to the best announcement of all time, and that they will act on that Good News.
We are currently near Bronx Community College. Pray for Christian students there to make / keep it a habit to daily sit at the feet of Christ, in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Col. 2:3).

Ezekiel 14:6

Happy 4th Birthday, TGP!

On March 20, 2021, TGP went live. From that day’s featured location of Cochabamba, Bolivia, to the current virtual prayer walk in New York City, thousands of prayers have been offered up to the Father for Jesus to be known to the peoples of the world. Thank you to each team member for joining us in this venture of eternal importance!

As we enter our 5th year of this daily prayer marathon, please pray for more people to join us. The long-term goal of TGP is to have 1,440 people praying for one minute a day, which would give us a total of 24 hours’ worth of prayer each day for the featured requests. There are currently 15-20 team members. Please pray that by the time we reach our 5th ministry birthday next March, there will be 100 people praying daily. Also, thank you to everyone reading this post who has been faithful to pray! Based on a Scriptural understanding of prayer, we believe that our prayers are making a difference in advancing God’s kingdom around the world.

But when He [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:36-38

Pray for there to be 100 TGP team members by March 20th, 2026.
Pray for the Lord to give you opportunities to have conversations explaining TGP with other believers who could join us.
Pray for the Lord to give / bless effective ideas for how to promote TGP. We want to increase in number to multiply the effects of prayer.

Thank you for celebrating today’s 4th birthday milestone with us!

W. Fordham Rd., between Grand Ave. & University Ave., NYC

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

One day Jesus walked by a couple pairs of brothers who likely routinely sold their catches of fish at Capernaum’s fish market. When Jesus said “Follow Me,” they obeyed. Pray for a worker at Arubia’s Fish Market (red awning above) to have the same response.
Pray for a Christian who has shopped at Fordham Flowers (corner store) to carry the fragrance of Christ into her day, interactions with others, and prayers to the Father.
Turning a 360° circle at our map location shows many pedestrians. Pray for everyone who crosses the intersection today to receive a clear gospel presentation before 2025 is over.

Ezekiel 14:6

Webster Ave. & E. 199th St., NYC

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

Giant Laundry offers both a self-service laundromat and drop-off wash-dry-fold services. Pray for a Christian utilizing the laundromat to leave a gospel tract on one of the countertops, and for a lost individual to pick it up and read it, really think about the message, and believe in Jesus.
Next to Giant Laundry is Family Dollar (not visible in the above screenshot). Pray for the corporate buyer who is responsible for ordering merchandise for this Family Dollar to follow Jesus’ directive in Matthew 6:33, beginning with salvation and extending to victory over anxiety.
Pray for a city worker whose responsibilities include maintaining the pictured streetlight to himself be illuminated by the Light of the World.

Ezekiel 14:6

New York Botanical Garden, NYC

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

This garden is a nice retreat from the normal hustle and bustle of NYC. Being in a place where one can only see things God made is an invigorating restorative to the soul. Pray for any believers who will visit the New York Botanical Garden this week to take the opportunity to be still, and know that He is God.
Pray for a garden employee who does not personally know the Creator to heed the words of the One Whose plants he tends.
Thain Family Forest (to the right of our map marker) contains glacier markings, pre-colonial Native American hunting paths, and trees from the American Revolution era. The fifty acre forest is the reason the entire site of the NYBG was chosen. Indeed, NYBG founding director Nathaniel Lord Britton described Thain Family Forest as “the most precious natural possession of the city of New York” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thain_Family_Forest). Pray for a Christian family enjoying the hiking trails to pass on a faithful spiritual legacy to their successive generations that will last into the future as long as Thain Family Forest has been part of the North American landscape (or until the rapture, if that happens first).

Ezekiel 14:6

Sunday Songs Series: “Cleanse Me”

Psalm 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Ezekiel 14:1-6 describes a situation where some leaders came to inquire of the Lord, but they had set up idols in their hearts. It was a travesty to pretend to seek God’s leadership when their hearts’ affections did not bend the knee to Him. God’s answer included the admonition for them to repent.

Unfortunately, this reality is occurring today in our country. Some people openly spurn God. Others give Him a token acknowledgment (whether for sentimental, superstitious, or pragmatic reasons), but their hearts belong to the things of this world. Even we as Christians can slip into similar habits from time to time.

Today’s hymn is a clarion call to be honest with God, to ask Him to show us what in our hearts needs to be changed. It is a prayer copied from David’s words in Psalm 139. The link below does not contain the fourth verse, but those lyrics are written out above today’s prayer requests. If we are ever to see true, widespread revival again in our nation, it must begin with repentance in the church, and then it will spread to regeneration of the lost.

Listen to “Cleanse Me”:

https://youtu.be/9Kuo3lg-LBU?si=xtxNQR_n2zyBpsFn

Fourth verse lyrics:

O Holy Ghost,
Revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival,
Start the work in me.
Thy Word declares
Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now,
O Lord, I humbly plead.

Pray for Christians to be honest with God today.
Pray that the lost who give a token acknowledgement to God will really see their need to genuinely believe the gospel.
Pray for revival and regeneration to sweep across our land.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

Pray for today’s cashier at this corner Deli Grocery to have a Christian customer who will plant a gospel seed, and for that the cashier’s heart to be receptive ground where the Holy Spirit can germinate the seed.
Pray for a grandparent planning to take a grandchild to the Children’s Zoo today, that both of them will have and take the opportunity to become Christians in the near future. A fringe benefit of becoming God’s children is that they would both enjoy the incredible restoration of the animal world during the Millennium, when the lion lies down with the lamb.
The Bronx typically has a bad reputation for reasons such as high crime and poverty rates. Pray for Christians living within today’s map area who are trying to be lights for Christ, that the Lord will bless those efforts and grant His provision and protection to His servants.
