Release the Spirit of Adoption over Lee County to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers.
To understand the Spirit of Adoption, let’s talk about the opposite spirit, the spirit of orphan hood. To be an orphan means you have been abandoned, left alone, isolated or marginalized as unimportant.
Before you or I came to Christ and surrendered our lives to Him, someone prayed for us. Someone prayed because someone cared-someone cared and did not leave us alone or isolated. We were important to them and we were important to God-earth came into agreement with heaven and the Holy Spirit went to work in drawing all men, even me, to Him.
People who are in the family of God have the responsibility to pray for others who are not in the family, yet, because He does not desire anyone to perish.
The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 AMP)
We call God our Father and rightly so. In this prayer point, we are declaring the Spirit of Sonship over a people who desperately need to know their heavenly Father-just like you and I did, even though we were blinded by the enemy and unfeeling toward the things of God. If there was hope for you and me, there is hope for those pre-believers out there who love to hate God openly or equally blinded through their indifference toward him-this prayer is intended to awaken their senses and spirits to the need for their heavenly Father.
The difference between what they know and what we know-the difference between heaven and hell–may be a prayer that you are willing to pray.
