PRAYER POINTS  | Praying Jesus' 7 Last Words on The Cross

Come before the Lord worshiping Him and thanking God for all He’s done for you.

1. "Father forgive them for they do not  know what they are doing"

“Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.”” Luke 23:34, NIV

Thank God that He is our Divine Advocate and High Priest, who intercede for us. Pray asking for His forgiveness, compassion and tender-loving kindness.

2. "I tell you the truth: Today you will be with me in paradise"

“But the other criminal ... said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”  Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23;40-43, NIV

Our Lord is in the restoration business.  Acknowledge Him as your Restorer and Redeemer. Ask Him to save you and draw you closer to Him

 3. "Woman, behold your son"

“Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother ... and the disciple whom He loved. Jesus said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.” John 20:25-27, NIV

Ask God to strengthen your relationships.

4. "My God, my God why you have you forsaken me

“About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46-49, NIV

Thank Jesus for bearing our guilt, shame, and rejection. Pray that God will break your heart into submission of His will and His way.

5. "I'm thirsty"

“Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” John 19:28, NIV

Jesus thirsted, that you may filled. Ask Him to fill every area of your life with His provision

"Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14)

6. "It is finished"

“They soaked a sponge ... and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When He received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” John 19:29-30, NIV

Pray and declare by faith, because of the Jesus' ultimate payment (Atonement) your bondage is finished in Jesus' name. Declare your breakthrough!!!!!

7. "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit"

“Darkness came over the whole land ...  the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, He breathed his last.” Luke 23:44-49, NIV

Thank Jesus for the perfect sacrifice of His life for your life. Follow His example by committing every area of your life into His hands.
