Prayer to the Lord concerning hypocrites
Job 8:12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. 13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: 14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web. 15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
Lord Jesus, we pray that these ones who have forgotten God, who have driven him out of the schools, that their hope shall perish. We pray that their hope will be cut off. Their trust is not in God, it is the web of deceit they have woven. Lord Jesus, we pray you would blow on their house and that it's fall would be great.
Job 15:28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps. 29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth. 30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away. 31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense. 32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green. 33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. 34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. 35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
Lord Jesus shine a light on the desolate cities they have created, the cities which are ready to become heaps. They have turned the rich and beautiful land into desolation. We pray the flame will dry up his branches as many flee the riots and looting. Jesus they trust in vanity so we pray that vanity would be their recompense. Lord we remind you of your word: "the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery". Lord Jesus they conceived mischief, they brought forth vanity, they prepared deceit. As they have done let it be done unto them.
Job 17:6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. 7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
Lord they made us a byword, they called us deplorable and irredeemable. I pray that the upright men will rise up at this, we pray the innocent shall stir himself up against the hypocrites.
Job 20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? 6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; 7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? 8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
Lord Jesus, we remind you of the word and your promise. May their triumphing be short. They have had their time in the sun, You said it would be but for a moment. Now is the time for them to perish like their own dung. Now is the time for them to fly away like a bad dream. Lord we pray that visions in the night would chase them away.
Job 34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. 25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. 26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; 27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: 28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. 29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only: 30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
Lord Jesus they turned back from following you, they have oppressed the poor, the widows, and the fatherless. May their cries reach your ears. We pray that the hypocrite reign not lest the people be ensnared.
Job 36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. 14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
Lord Jesus I pray you would bind the hypocrites. They have heaped up wrath in their hearts, may you bundle them with the tares for the fire.
Proverbs 11:9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Lord Jesus, all the treasures of knowledge are hidden in You, we pray we would have the mind of Christ to be delivered from the hypocrites, be with us and deliver us because they seek to destroy their neighbor.
Isaiah 9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Lord Jesus, we look to you to stretch out your hand against the hypocrites, they speak folly, they have no mercy on the fatherless and widows and they are all evildoers.
Isaiah 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Lord Jesus we call on You and look to You. We pray that fearfulness would surprise the hypocrites. We pray that the devouring fire and the everlasting burnings would fill them with fearfulness.
Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Lord help us to remove anything in our eyes so that we could see clearly the solutions to our situations.
Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Lord Jesus, we pray for divine wisdom to hear your words and to understand, show us that the teachings of the hypocrites are backwards. It is not the things going into our mouths that defile us but the things coming out of them.
Matthew 16:3b O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Lord Jesus, give us the wisdom and divine insight to discern the signs of the times and we pray that the hypocrites would be unable to discern them, keep them blind to what the people can see, what the signs of the times are here in the US and in the world.
Matthew 23:14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Lord Jesus, give us a clear word to expose the hypocrisy that devours the widows' houses and cut through all the pretence.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Lord Jesus show us the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy and faith that expose the things the hypocrites should have done.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Lord Jesus we call on You, we know that the inside of the platter for the teacher's union is full of extortion and excess. We pray that your light and your sovereignty would expose all of this to the citizens, to the voters, to those in this city.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Lord Jesus we pray that these heinous crimes they try to cover up would be exposed for all to see, pull the cover back, expose the man behind the curtain.
Luke 11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
Lord Jesus, we pray expose the deceitfulness, the way in which they defile others.
All these many things we ask and pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and savior. Jesus is the one in whom I trust, He is the one to whom I lift up my voice, hear my cry! May this petition be laid before the throne of grace, may this petition be sealed with the blood of Jesus Christ who paid for my redemption and the redemption of all those who are crying to Him for judgement on this evil, for mercy on those who have been trampled under foot and for faith in Your word that You will fulfill it. Amen and Amen.
