Aude (11)

Department Aude (11) is found in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon.


God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and mountains fall into the heart of the sea.  though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.  Ps 46:1-3







Dear Father, We pray for the department Aude in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon.  Lord we pray that the people of Aude will look to you as their refuge and strength.  I pray that they will be searching for you for help with each issue in their lives.  Lord, we pray that you become their personal Lord and Savior.  Lord, bring your message of salvation to the people of Aude.  We pray all these things in the name of Jesus.  Amen.

Étape 15 - Limoux to Montpellier

CESSENON-SUR-ORB

Here in Mobile we have a street named Montpellier, so I pray for this city often.  Today our stage is a sprinters stage and so look for a speedy finish. Today we will pray through the department of Aude (11) and the Hérault department (34)in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. As you travel through France you see many strong castles. Some have stood for many centuries built with stones by mighty men. Some have been beaten down over the years and others still stand today. Pray for the people of this area to know that God is our strong tower our fortress. In Proverbs 18:10 it says "The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."

Lord most High, we can run to you and be safe for you are a fortified tower. Lord, we pray that as the people of France live among these towers that they will see that you are the fortified tower they need. Lord here in the Lanquedoc-Roussillon region we pray that people will proclaim, "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. We pray that they will take refuge in You. We simply pray these things in the name of Jesus. Amen

PRAYER ALERT

A message from 24/7 Prayer - Prière Narbonne!

A group of 14 people have committed themselves to praying continually for the city of Narbonne and for France this week.

We are just a small group but we have a very big God and are excited to see what He will do with this time, in our own lives, our church, the city and the nation of France.

We are going to take it in turns to prayer walk through the city, both day and night and will be praying for these specific issues:

- For the authorities in the city, that decisions are made with wisdom, justice and compassion and that righteous men and women who are not corruptible by power or money are placed in positions of authority.

- We will walk past the schools and the hospitals praying for the young people and for the sick. For issues of finances, justice and equality that faces these institutions daily.

- We pray for the other churches in the city, for unity between the different denominations and for opportunities to pray together in the future.

- We will walk through the streets with our eyes open, listen to Gods voice and letting him break our hearts with compassion for the many homeless people here. We will pray for wisdom to know how to act.

- We will think about the history of this country, for all the blood spilt in the name of God. We ask for forgiveness and pray that we are able to shine light lights in the darkness, addressing the misconceptions that people have about God.

As the French people are petitioning their government about pensions and the retirement age we will be lifting our Prayers Petitions and Thanksgiving to our God and asking for his love to explode across this city, cutting though the veneer of prosperity to reach the people who need him most.

As with all of the countries we have been praying for over the last few months, the issues are enormous. We feel called to do what we can, each within our own community. To model a new way of doing things, praying that His Kingdom come and His will be done so that we can see a little bit of heaven here on earth.

That could sound quite fluffy and nice but we are being challenged to dedicate ourselves to purity & holiness, to humble our hearts completely, surrendering our lives to His will so that He can use us like tools in His tool box as we pray and act in His authority.

Please pray about joining them and click here to see who is praying and sign up!

Aude Department 11

The people of Aude are know as "Audois". They enjoy a Mediterranean climate. Carcassonne is the capital city of this department. History goes back nearly to the very beginning of time. This area is known for the remains of the oldest human remains in Europe. Here one may also see the effects of the Cathar beliefs started back near the 11Th century. Many people through the ages have worked hard off the land and sea and called Aude their home.



Lord, still today people work hard to make a go at life here in Aude. I pray for these people. Throughout the centuries you have been with these people. Lord, I ask that in the next few days, weeks, years that many people will come to know you as their personal Lord and Savior. I know you can send the labours into your harvest field of Aude. Lord, lay the needs of this area on someones heart, and continue to call until all have heard.
Bless the churches that are here and help them to grown in love for you and for each other so that they will be Fishers of men in Aude. Thank you for this area. Lord, thank you for the beauty of your creation in Aude. I pray all things in the name of Jesus. Amen
