“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a<\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0because he will save his people from their sins.”<\/strong><\/em> – Matt 1:21<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Prayer point 1<\/strong>
Let us thank the Lord for the hope of Christmas and the gift of our salvation. Praise God for providing salvation from sin through His Son Jesus Christ. Hallelujah, we are no longer slaves to sin and fear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 9:25<\/a>
\u201cConcerning the Gentiles, God says in the prophecy of Hosea,
\u201cThose who were not my people,
I will now call my people.
And I will love those
whom I did not love before.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 4: 16<\/a>
\u201cthe people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light.
And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow,
a light has shined.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer point 2<\/strong>
Christmas lights have been lit all over the world’s cities, yet many still sit in darkness. Pray that they will see the light of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 4:4<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer point 3<\/strong>
Pray for people and places to whom and where the gospel has not yet reached. Pray that the doors to their salvation would be open. Like the guiding star that led the wise men from the East to Jesus, pray that the people of Regensdorf, Zurich and all nations will find their way to Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer point 4<\/strong>
In this festive season, pray for cities that are under the ruins of war and oppression, where \u201cdeath casts its shadow<\/a>\u201d (e.g. in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, etc.). Ask the Lord to cause His light to shine upon these cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

“Und sie wird einen Sohn geb\u00e4ren, und du sollst ihm den Namen Jesus geben; denn er wird sein Volk von seinen S\u00fcnden erl\u00f6sen.”<\/em><\/strong> – Matth\u00e4us 1:21<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gebetsanliegen 1<\/strong>
Lasst uns dem Herrn f\u00fcr die Hoffnung auf Weihnachten und das Geschenk unserer Erl\u00f6sung danken. Danken wir Gott f\u00fcr die Errettung von der S\u00fcnde durch seinen Sohn Jesus Christus. Halleluja, wir sind nicht l\u00e4nger Sklaven der S\u00fcnde und der Angst!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00f6mer 9:25<\/a>
“\u00dcber die Heiden sagt Gott in der Prophezeiung von Hosea,
“Diejenigen, die nicht mein Volk waren,
werde ich jetzt mein Volk nennen.
Und ich will die lieben
die ich vorher nicht geliebt habe.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Matth\u00e4us 4: 16<\/a>
“Das Volk, das in der Finsternis sa\u00df
hat ein gro\u00dfes Licht gesehen.
Und f\u00fcr die, die in einem Land lebten, in dem der Tod seinen Schatten wirft,
ist ein Licht aufgegangen.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Gebetsanliegen 2<\/strong>
\u00dcberall in den St\u00e4dten der Welt sind die Weihnachtslichter angez\u00fcndet worden, und doch gibt es viele, die noch in der Dunkelheit sitzen. Beten Sie, dass sie das Licht des herrlichen Evangeliums von Jesus Christus sehen (2. Korinther 4:4<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gebetsanliegen 3<\/strong>
Beten Sie f\u00fcr Menschen und Orte, zu denen das Evangelium noch nicht vorgedrungen ist. Beten Sie, dass die T\u00fcren zu ihrem Heil ge\u00f6ffnet werden. Beten Sie, dass wie der Leitstern, der die Weisen aus dem Morgenland zu Jesus f\u00fchrte, auch die Menschen in Regensdorf, Z\u00fcrich und allen V\u00f6lkern den Weg zu Jesus Christus finden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gebetsanliegen 4<\/strong>
Beten Sie in dieser Festzeit f\u00fcr die St\u00e4dte, die unter den Tr\u00fcmmern von Krieg und Unterdr\u00fcckung liegen, wo “der Tod seinen Schatten wirft<\/a>” (z.B. in Europa, Afrika, im Nahen Osten).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
