Crafted Prayers - Regions in France
These short prayers were
compiled after several groups of South African believers (with some
French believers) spent time in the presence of the Lord (during the
International Gathering for France, North of Pretoria, November 2007).
The aim was to receive guidance from the Lord on what to pray for
each region. This exercise was purely done by receiving things from the
Spirit without any knowledge about the regions themselves. Prayers were
then compiled from the information received by the Spirit.
These written prayers then become an instrument to facilitate agreement
in prayer for the release of Gods Kingdom according to His revealed will.
| Nothern France |
|
Haute-Normandie
Thank
you Father for Your anointing oil on all the hands of believers. Psalm 33 – May
they sing joyfully, may they praise You with instruments. Father, please show
the people their identity in You; reveal to them their function and how you
want them to operate.
(2
Chron 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…”) We pray that their hearts will be fully
committed to You so that You may strengthen them.
Anoint
them to be a region of intercession.
We
also declare that all the words spoken over and for the other regions in the
north, i.e. Basse-Normandie, Ile-de-France, Picardie, Nord-pas-de-Calais and
Campagne-Ardenne, will also apply and have fruit in Haute-Normandie. We declare
this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Light of the world.

Ile-de-France
We
declare that this region is beautiful to You. You have filled it with Your
treasures, the people. Father, You are calling this people into a relationship,
a place of intimacy.
There
are people crying for a new move of You. Father, we declare that the time is
right for You to move. Father, hear the voices of the youth. You say: “Arise,
raise up the youth.” Father, bring forth those who will lead the youth.
Father,
thank you for financial provision in the region. Thank you that it is
sustainable and that the people will not be misled by the wrong business
opportunities – You will give them divine discernment.
Father,
we declare that the people in ministry will no longer worry about provision,
but put the Kingdom first. Father, thank you that You create a place in this
region where people can break away to rest. We declare and pray this in the
precious name of Jesus Christ from Nazareth who came in the flesh.

Picardie
Father,
we release a spirit of joy and jubilation over this region. You are speaking to
people to obey you. We call forth those who You prepared to be mentors to Your
children. You are taking back the territory that Satan took from the people in
this region.
Father,
we break the strife that arose in the church in this region. We declare an end
of the strife and a walking in love and unity in this region, in the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth who came in the flesh.

Nord-pas-de-Calais
The
Lord is your Shepherd, and He binds up the broken-hearted and restores your
soul. See the blood of Jesus running over Nord-pas-de-Calais. Behold the fire
of His presence, He will reveal Himself to you, for you are His witnesses, says
the Lord, His servants, whom He has chosen.
His
work and His anointing will flow across borders – from you to Brussels. A new
economic purpose will be birthed in you, influencing the whole economy of
France.
You
will sing: “I will render praises to You, for You have delivered me from death,
O God. You will keep my feet from falling, that I may walk before you in the
light of life.” For now, Nord-pas-de-Calais, arise, shine for your light is
come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! Thank you, Jesus!

Champagne-Ardenne
Phil
4:1-6 Father, we pray in Jesus’ name that this region will be fruitful in good
works: That they will rejoice always, that they will not be anxious for
anything, and that they will meditate on what are good and that they will be
content. We declare this in Your name.
We
declare salvation to them. We say to them that the voice of the prophets will
not be silenced and they will not be persecuted.
We
call forth mentoring and fathering of the younger generation (Matt 28:20). We
pray that they will remember the former things (Is 46:9) when You take them
into the new – the first truths that stand even today.
We
remind them that Jesus will be in heaven until the restoration of all things –
He will restore them and they will see Him (Acts 3:2). Father, we thank you for
divine wisdom in business deals.

Lorraine
Father,
we ask You to raise up and call forth:
· Intercessors (Jeremiah 25: 7-11), and
· Priests (Malachi 3:2-5)
who
will stand before Your throne in unity and determination to bring:
· Healing
· Salvation
· Restoration
· Intimacy
· Obedience
and
a manifestation of Your Glory – we call this forth in Jesus name – the Holy One
of Israel.

Alsace
Thank
you Father for giving Alsace the capacity to influence the region, France and
the rest of the world.
Forgive
them for relying on material wealth and their own intellect. Help them to turn
back to the salt of the Word so that they receive the flavour and favour of
God.
You
are a jealous God – help them to turn back to the ancient paths and passion.
You long for their hearts. You want them to buy Your pure gold (Revelations 3),
to be purified in Your fire and wear pure, white garments.
Thank
you that you will then release fragrant praise and restore their beautiful
flowers and give them the key to Your buried treasure of priceless wine.

|
Franche-Compté
Father,
in the name of Jesus Christ who came in the flesh and by the mighty power of
the Holy Spirit, we bring Franche-Compté before Your throne.
We
declare that all human reasoning is brought into submission to God’s perfect
will (2 Cor 10:3-6). May Your love flow like a river into new wineskins for
them to be Your instruments of deliverance to the other provinces.
Thank
you for healing their wounds so that they will have compassion and restore the
good health of others.
|
|
Borgogne
We
trust God to discern between the old wineskins that need to be preserved and
those that have no life or use anymore.
We
break the spirit of tradition that brings bondage and we call forth new wine
and new wineskins.
The
light of the gospel will dispel darkness, we call in more light so that people
will believe Jesus and follow Him (John 3:18-21).

Rhône-Alpes
Bless
You for the new life, vision and purpose coming into this region – we ask for
it, Father, according to Your promise in Psalm 2:8.
We
declare that You are increasing property development that is bringing new
families here. The new generation of youth will be true to Your Spirit.
We
say to Rhône-Alpes that you have been delivered from pride and arrogance by God
Himself (Exodus 3:7). We proclaim that love in deeds and in truth will melt the
ice and the water of the Word will change people because it comes with love (1
John 3:18).
We
proclaim you are free in the Holy Spirit to have true peace and God’s love and
fidelity and that you will not let yourself be lured away as Samson was lured
away by Delilah.

Provence-Alpes-Côte
d’Azur
Father,
we confess the sins against Your Spirit in this region. We ask You to forgive
the silencing of Your Spirit in churches and against women and children. Please
forgive the way in which this opened the door for the stronghold of Islam to
take hold in the region.
As
You prepare Your judgement to purge this region of unrighteousness and
rebellion, and cause them to return to You, we pray that You would strengthen
the remnant of Your church and cover the women and children in this region with
Your grace.
Raise
up Your army of intercessors to establish the word of truth and break the yoke
of oppression, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth who came in the flesh.

Languedoc-Roussillion
Father,
in the name of Jesus Christ, we lift up the region of Languedoc-Roussillion. We
pray that You will reinforce Your foundation in this place, strengthen the weak
and weary.
Create
in them a willing heart to further the Kingdom of God through the creative
passion of God in their hearts. Restore the prophetic voice. We call forth
spiritual fathers and mothers. Open and ignite the Spirit of joy in Your
people.
|
Midi-Pyrénées
Father,
in the name of Jesus, we lift up the Midi-Pyrénées. Redeem the variety of
prophetic sound, flavour and colour – release Your new wine.
Please
return the hearts of the fathers back to the children, to comfort the spiritual
orphans. We cut them loose from the vagabond spirit and speak Your abiding
peace over them.
|
|
Limousin
Father,
in the name of Jesus Christ, we lift up Limousin.
Lord,
You are the Shepherd of these people, let them hear Your voice and feel Your
comfort and warm embrace. Affirm the value of Your call as ploughmen in Your
Kingdom. Open their eyes to see their relevance to the family of God.
|
|
Auvergne
Father,
in the name of Jesus Christ, we lift up the region of Auvergne. Let Your Spirit
erupt with passion and freedom. Reveal the hidden treasures – open up the store
rooms over this region.
We
cut them loose from fear and greed in the name of Jesus, our Deliverer, and we
pray for a willingness to release what God has placed in them. Give them the
ability as the heart of France to distribute the life of God to all of France.
Amen.

Aquitaine
Father,
we pray for Your wisdom for the leaders that you are sending from Poitou – that
they will break the spirit of persecution through a collective focus on
individuals, igniting their individual fires in the Holy Spirit.
We
thank you for divine connections and we declare Your perseverance in them for
the next decade until fruit is seen and the woven cloth over Aquitaine is
unveiled.
|
|
Poitou-Charentes
We
pray for the Poitou. Thank you for this beating heart, thank you for life! We pray
that the seed that You have planted will grow, that it will spread abroad.
We
pray for expansion and for an enlarging of vision. May the character of Jesus
be manifest in power as well as a servant’s heart that bends to serve. Thank
you for the servant’s heart that is in Your children, a precious tool in the
Father’s hands.
Let Your water flow and quench thirsty souls in
the land, and all who pass through this land. In Jesus’ precious name. |
|
Pays de la Loire
El
Gibbor, mighty God whose work is perfect and whose ways are just. You are a God
of truth and without injustice (Deut 32:3-4). We bring before You the
inhabitants of Pays de la Loire, who do not acknowledge You as King nor serve
You yet.
Lord,
execute Your judgement on that which opposes Your kingship. Let justice run
down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24).
Jesus,
Bread of Life, use the lowly in stature and reach the unsaved by giving them a
supernatural hunger for You. Beautify the humble with salvation (Ps 149:4).
Amen!

Bretagne
Lord,
thank you for the richness of this region and the royal character contained in
its God-given DNA. We call to Bretagne: Rise up and take your Godly rulership
before the throne of God! You are no longer abandoned, nor isolated: The time
has come for you to redeem your divine inheritance.
Body
of Christ in Bretagne, it is time to display the power of God against the power
of darkness that has ravished the soul of the land. Know that you will and can
supersede them.
A
pure stream will replace the polluted flood that emanates from your land, new
life will spring forth from your trampled past. Open your gates and receive
your healing and those whom God will send you! In Jesus Christ’s holy name.
