MEADE COUNTY - I CORINTHIANS

66 Books of the Bible Release to 66 Counties of South Dakota

 Our 46th county to pray for in South Dakota is Meade County, with the city of Sturgis being the county seat.  We release the book of I Corinthians to Meade County.  I Corinthians is a pastoral letter written by the Apostle Paul to resolve doctrinal and practical problems within the local church.  In it Paul provides straightforward instructions for moral and theological problems such as factions, immorality, spiritual immaturity, church discipline, ethical differences, and proper use of spiritual gifts. Paul's response on the issues made Christianity practical. Where these same problems exist in the modern church, the remedies are the same. 

In addition to words of discipline, Paul shares words of counsel in answer to questions raised by the Corinthian believers. In this book, Paul speaks about practical wisdom for everyday living, righteousness in believers' lives, sanctification, and redemption.  All of these qualities are found in Jesus and are summed up in I Corinthians 1:30. This book proclaims the relevance of Christ Jesus to every area of the believer's life.   Jesus is also seen in this book as correcting the abuses of His Church. Key chapters are II Corinthians 13 (the love chapter) and the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit chapter 12.  Also chapter 15 is an outstanding chapter on the Resurrection.

Father we release in the mighty name of Jesus, Your love as explained in I Corinthians chapter 13 be known by the people and be seen over the land of Meade County.  Also that the fullness of the gifts of Your Holy Spirit would manifest causing Your Resurrection Power to be seen across the land of Meade County. 

Father, cause the people of Meade County a fresh revelation of whose they are, Your temple, housing Holy Spirit.  Knowing we are one body and flow together as one in You.
"Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you . . . "(10:12-13).
"For you were bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" (6:19-20)

Father we pray that the people of Meade County would understand Your ways and move with Your mind, through Christ Jesus.
 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?  But we have the mind of Christ" (2:16). 

Father we pray this verse in Jesus name for Meade County.
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the works of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" (15:58). 

We release the love and the power of Holy Spirit across Meade County!
