Revival\nItinerary<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As we pray and fast together, know that YOU are being prayed for\nand fasted for. I pray that God gives you clarity and insight as you hunger and\nthirst for His Righteousness, and I pray that according to the Word of God, you\nwill be satisfied as you come to drink and eat at the table of the Lord!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to give you an \u201citinerary\u201d of what we\u2019re praying for through the first 7 days. Each morning, ready the associated mini devotion. I believe the Spirit of God will unite our hearts and make Himself more present among us as we seek His Kingdom and His purposes! I believe there is power in praying the Word of God to the Word of God! So, the Spirit has revealed different Scriptures to pray each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our theme Scripture is Matthew 7:7-8 which PROMISES \u201cAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1: Monday: we pray for REVIVAL and for believers and for our\nnation; to have ears to hear the voice of God and eyes to see His Kingdom.\nConfessing our own need to be revived, and praying Matthew 7:7-8, Matthew\n11:15, and Ezekiel 37:1-14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2: Tuesday: we continue from yesterday and add praying for\nbelievers in other countries to have the same Spirit of Revival to win this\nWORLD back to be humble before our Lord, and to join us in prayer by the power\nof the Spirit of God. Praying Matthew 7:7-8, Ezekiel 37:1-14, 2 Chronicles\n7:14, and Romans 8:26-27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3: Wednesday: we pray that the lost will become healed of\ntheir spiritual blindness to see their need for Salvation, and see that\nSalvation comes from the ONLY begotten Son, in Jesus who is The Way, The Truth,\nand The Life. Confessing our own blindness and that of our nation, we pray\nMatthew 7:7-8, 2 Corinthians 5:21, John 14:6 and Acts 4:12. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4: Thursday: we pray for the spirit of sex in our culture\nwould be BOUND that gender mis-identity would be bound and the God\u2019s identity\non each individual would be released. We pray against trafficking, against lust\nafter children, and against sexual impurity of any kind. God is the only One\nwho can change a heart. He is El Ohim, which means Creator God, and by Him we\nconfess that our created identity is in Him and we pray Matthew 7:7-8,\nEphesians 4:18-19, Romans 1:20-32, John 6:37-40, and Ezekiel 36:26. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5: Friday: we continue praying as we did yesterday, and add\nthat the spirit of lust and perversion be bound by the power of Christ, and in\nits place we release the Spirit and burning passion for Christ! By His\nauthority we confess our own desires for other things that satisfy us (tv,\ncomfort, money) as individuals and as a nation, and pray Matthew 7:7-8, Ezekiel\n14:6, Ephesians 5:3, 10; and Proverbs 3:32. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 6: Saturday: we pray to bind the spirit of pride against God\nand release humility. We confess our own pride and self-righteousness, and that\nof our nation. We repent and by His Name pray Matthew 7:7-8 and Proverbs\n3:34. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 7: Sunday: we pray against the spirit of division in\nfamilies, churches, etc. and release the fruit of the Spirit. By His power we\nconfess our own faults and those of our nation that cause us to quarrel and\nstrife with others; that prevent us from truly loving our neighbors as\nourselves. We pray Matthew 7:7-8, Matthew 12:25, Galatians 5:22-23, and 1 Peter\n4:8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s confess the sins of our own hearts and our nation\n(Nehemiah 1:6). Are you ready to begin? Put on your armor (Ephesians 6) and\nlet\u2019s fight together!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1, Monday:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray for REVIVAL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About a month ago, my husband had been preparing to speak in our\nchildren\u2019s service at church, and God gave him a revelation: \u201cWithout\nrevelation, repentance, and reverence, there can be no revival.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is God who gives the revelation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is God who gives the knowledge and wisdom that lead to repentance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is God who, through His wisdom, teaches reverence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it is God who gives revival! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray for revelation: to be healed from our own\nspiritual blindness and deafness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray for repentance: to be so pure in heart that any\nsin (even our own) repulses us, causing us to seek His grace and\ngoodness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we pray for reverence: to not be so familiar with the name\n\u201cGod\u201d that we lose sight of who He Is: The I Am, El Shadday (The Almighty), El\nRoi (The God Who Sees Me), Yahweh (Lord), Esh Oklah (Consuming Fire), Hashem\n(The Name), Qedosh Yisrael (Holy One of Israel). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we pray for revival: to be brought back to LIFE in Christ.\nAs God called dead bones to life, as God raised Lazarus from the dead, and as\nGod raised Jesus Christ from the dead, SO ARE WE raised from death in our sins\nto LIFE in Christ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we confess our own deadly shortcomings to our Gracious\nFather whose heart is ALWAYS tender toward His children. We also begin\nconfessing the shortcomings of our nation, praying our theme verse: \u201cAsk and it\nwill be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened\nto you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one\nwho knocks, the door will be opened.\u201d Matthew 7:7-8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And also praying for God to give us ears to hear what the Spirit\nis saying to us; how is He stirring our hearts to pray? \u201cWhoever has ears, let\nthem hear.\u201d Matthew 11:15
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2, Tuesday:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Today, we are praying for our brothers and sisters in other\ncountries (some are literally imprisoned and tortured for sharing anything of\nChrist). America is \u201ctolerating\u201d Believers right now, and without battling in\nprayer against demonic spirits of oppression and the spirit of the anti-Christ,\nAmerica will easily be next to torture or abuse Believers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spirit of God is not only omnipresent (everywhere at every\ntime), but He is omnipotent (all knowing) as well. All-knowing is not limited\nto this day, here and now, but it is a timeless knowledge, as the Holy Spirit\nof God is part of the Trinity of God. He was there at the beginning, and is The\nEnd. He is part of the Was, Is, and Is Coming – all at one time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we pray that the Spirit of God would encourage,\nstrengthen, and give endurance to Believers across our country and around the\nworld. For their hearts to ache for revival as ours do! Let us be one voice,\npraying in one accord, for the progression of the Word of God whose Word is\nABLE to break strongholds, rip chains, demolish arguments, free those captive\nin sin and its damaging effects, and give us tender, merciful hearts.  We\npray against the spirit of hatred for God\u2019s people, and for people to be drawn\nto God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, let\u2019s confess our own sins of not always letting God\nfully into our hearts to change us from the inside out. Let\u2019s confess the sins\nof our nation that hates God, and declare that we want to see God and have Him\nREBUILD our hearts, just as he rebuilt His temple so many times for Israel in\nthe Old Testament.  Today, we pray:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock\nand the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who\nseeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.\u201d Matthew\n7:7-8 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray for conviction: \u201cFor the word of God is alive and active.\nSharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and\nspirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.\u201d\nHebrews 4:12 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray for soft hearts: \u201cI will give them an undivided heart\nand put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and\ngive them a heart of flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezekiel 11:19 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray for forgiveness: \u201cif my people, who are called by my\nname, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their\nwicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and\nwill heal their land.\u201d 2 Chronicles 7:14 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray together: \u201cIn the same way, the Spirit helps us in our\nweakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself\nintercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows\nthe mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God\u2019s people in\naccordance with the will of God.\u201d Romans 8:26-27
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3, Wednesday:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I pray you\u2019ve been pressing in to God, who promises to make\nHimself found by you as you seek Him!  Today, we pray for the lost and\nthose who are far from God to be redeemed! We pray for God to heal them of\ntheir spiritual blindness, and reveal His Truth: that He is The Way, The Truth,\nThe Life \u2014 not A way, but THE way to the Father, THE way to Salvation, THE\nfirst among the resurrection of the dead! He is THE ONLY God who COMES TO US,\nrather than requiring we jump through hoops to try to get to Him, He calls us,\nHe enters into the sheep pen, and leads us to His peaceful green pasture and He\nrestores our souls! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we confess our own blindness: our own sins of trying to\nlead ourselves, trying to be lord over our own lives. We confess the same sins\nof our nation, and pray our theme verse again \u201cAsk and it will be given to you;\nseek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone\nwho asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door\nwill be opened.\u201d Matthew 7:7-8 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray for our selves and our nation to believe: \u201cGod made him\nwho had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the\nrighteousness of God.\u201d 2 Corinthians 5:21 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And \u201cJesus answered, \u201cI am the way and the truth and the life.\nNo one comes to the Father except through me.\u201d John 14:6 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we pray our coworkers, friends, family, government rulers to\nbecome spiritually seeing to see: \u201cSalvation is found in no one else, for there\nis no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.\u201d Acts\n4:12
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4, Thursday:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray for the spirit of sex in our culture to be BOUND,\nthat gender mis-identity would be bound, and that God\u2019s identity on each\nindividual would be released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray against trafficking, against lust after children, and\nagainst sexual impurity of any kind. God is the only One who can change a\nheart. He is El Ohim, which means Creator God, and by Him we confess that our\ncreated identity is in Him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray the promise of God: \u201cAsk and it will be given to you;\nseek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone\nwho asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door\nwill be opened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 7:7-8 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray for new hearts: \u201cI will give you a new heart and put a\nnew spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a\nheart of flesh.\u201d Ezekiel 36:26 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray God\u2019s Light will illuminate evil: \u201cThey are darkened in\ntheir understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance\nthat is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all\nsensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in\nevery kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.\u201d Ephesians 4:18-19<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray the Word that leads us to repent of our own\nstubbornness: \u201cFor since the creation of the world God\u2019s invisible\nqualities\u2014his eternal power and divine nature\u2014have been clearly seen, being\nunderstood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For\nalthough they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to\nhim, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.\nAlthough they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of\nthe immortal God for [idols]. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful\ndesires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies\nwith one another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 1:20-24 (additional reading through verse 32) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray that ALL of God\u2019s children will remain in Him: \u201cAll\nthose the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never\ndrive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the\nwill of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall\nlose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For\nmy Father\u2019s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him\nshall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.\u201d John\n6:37-40<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes:
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5: Friday: <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Today, we continue praying as we did yesterday, and add that the\nspirit of lust and perversion also be bound by the power of Christ!  As\nthese demons are bound, they leave a void. We pray in the empty place, Holy\nSpirit and burning passion for Christ will be released! By The authority of\nJesus, we confess our own desires for other things that satisfy us (tv,\ncomfort, money) as individuals and as a nation. Nothing on this earth, nothing\nin this reality that we see, and nothing on this side of heaven comes CLOSE to\nthe value of heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray Matthew 7:7-8, \u201cAsk, and the gift is yours. Seek, and\nyou\u2019ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. For every\npersistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover\nwhat he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an\nopen door.\u201d (TPT) – we are asking for REVIVAL, we are seeking God\u2019s Truth, and\nknocking on the door of America\u2019s hearts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray Ezekiel 14:6, \u201cTherefore, say to the house of Israel:\nThis is what the Lord God says: Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your\nfaces away from all your detestable things.\u201d HCSB – we repent of our own\ndetestable things (idols, lifestyle, what have you) and REPENT- resting solely\non God, who is ALL WE NEED!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ephesians 5:3, 8, 10; \u201cBut sexual immorality and any impurity or\ngreed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints.  For\nyou were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of\nlight \u2014discerning what is pleasing to the Lord.\u201d HCSB – we praise God for His\nSalvation and mercy over our own lives, and pray to walk the way He has\ninstructed us, as we also pray for conviction of those around us to follow what\nGod has said!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray Proverbs 3:32 \u201cfor the devious are detestable to the\nLord, but He is a friend to the upright.\u201d HCSB – we pray that God will make us\nupright, and expose the ways of the devious to give them opportunity to repent\nand turn to Jesus!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 6: Saturday: <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray to bind the spirit of pride against God. This is\na big one!! Every act of disobedience, every sin, is rooted in pride against\nGod! We are ALL guilty of this each time we say \u201cNo\u201d to Him, we say \u201cYes\u201d to\nour enemy – His enemy – and tell God that our ways are better!  In what\nways are you too proud to be used by God? In this large empty space left behind\nby the upheaval of our pride, we release humility. We confess our own pride and\nself-righteousness, and that of our nation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We repent and by His Name pray Matthew 7:7-8 \u201cKeep asking, and\nit will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and\nthe door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who\nsearches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.\u201d HCSB and\nProverbs 3:34 \u201cHe mocks those who mock, but gives grace to the humble.\u201d HCSB
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 7: Sunday<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Wow what a week it has been!  We have been part of God\u2019s\npowerful Master Plan this week, as we pray for a REBIRTH of our world! I heard\nit said recently that the church should \u201cget with the times\u201d.  Which part\nof the Bible do you think satan recommends we should ignore? Remember: even\nsatan knows scripture – he manipulates it. However, we know that God doesn\u2019t\nchange, we know that we do change: how many times do you change your clothes\nthroughout the day, or realize that what you brought for lunch isn\u2019t actually\nwhat you feel like eating at all?!  You cannot come to the Bible with your\nopinions, and battle out who is right. You bring the Bible to your opinions,\nand let your heart be changed! Because of our PRIDE and SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS,\nwhich we have BOUND (yesterday), we have introduced DIVISION among us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray against the spirit of division in families,\nchurches, etc. and release the fruit of the Spirit that unites us in love. By\nHis power we confess our own faults and those of our nation that cause us to\nquarrel and strife with others; that prevent us from truly loving our neighbors\nas ourselves, and prevent us from being a true and faithful witness to how\nBLESSED it is to follow The Way of Christ! Do you live your life in a way that\nmakes following Jesus look like fun? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ask, seek, and knock! Matthew 7:7-8 \u201cAsk, and it will be\ngiven to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For\neveryone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who\nknocks it will be opened.\u201d ESV <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t pretend to know who is divided (that\u2019d be judging, and\nwe\u2019re not the judge), but we declare the truth of Matthew 12:25, \u201cKnowing their\nthoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid\nwaste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.\u201d ESV – Lord,\nreveal our personal divisions against you! We bind up the divisions in our\nchurch and Nation that cause each of us to believe that we are more important at\none time or another, when YOU ALONE are the Only One Who matters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Your Word, Galatians 5:22-23, and by Your\nAuthority, Lord, we release \u201cthe fruit of the Spirit [which] is love, joy,\npeace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;\nagainst such things there is no law.\u201d ESV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPractice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all\nmay see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.\nPersist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.\u201d\n1 Timothy 4:15-16 ESV  Lord, not by our own doing, but by Your grace are\nwe saved. Help us to practice Your Love to others, so we can spread Your beauty\nand be Your Hands and Feet without grumbling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Peter 4:8 \u201cAbove all, keep loving one another earnestly, since\nlove covers a multitude of sins.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revival Week 2 Prayer Guide<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I pray you\u2019ve felt an awakening of the Holy Spirit inside\nyourself as you pray for revival for others as well as for your own heart,\nfamily, and church community! What a gift from God- what a SPIRITUAL BLESSING!!\nI pray you\u2019ve pressed through the inevitable \u201chead-on collisions\u201d with our\nenemy, remember: what God calls you to do, He will lead you through! Last week\nwas tough! I was sick all week, lost my hearing in one ear for almost an entire\nday, had a problem with my car, it goes on, BUT GOD IS BIGGER than my enemy\u2019s\nold, stale, washed up attempts to stop the plans of Christ! Satan has NO NEW\nIDEAS! \u201cWhat has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be\ndone, and there is nothing new under the sun.\u201d Ecclesiastes 1:9 Satan is under\nthe sun, and we\u2019re under the sun, BUT GOD IS NOT UNDER THE SUN THAT HE MADE BY\nHIS POWER!! That SAME POWER OF THE SPIRIT IS IN YOU! \u201cBut you will receive power<\/strong>\nwhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in\nJerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts\n1:8 ESV (emphasis mine \ud83e\udd17). We don\u2019t shy\nAWAY from this POWER- it is a GIFT, but we must USE it. Let God\u2019s will be done\non earth as it is in heaven – there are no weak ones in heaven – only powerful\nbelievers! So, let\u2019s up the ante, and press in, dig deep for the last 7 days,\nand declare to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 8, Monday:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I pray you\u2019ve felt an awakening of the Holy Spirit\ninside yourself as you pray for revival for others as well as for your own\nheart, family, and church community! What a gift from God- what a SPIRITUAL\nBLESSING!! I pray you\u2019ve pressed through the inevitable \u201chead-on collisions\u201d\nwith our enemy, remember: what God calls you to do, He will lead you through!\nLast week was tough when it comes to spiritual attacks, BUT GOD IS BIGGER than\nmy enemy\u2019s old, stale, washed up attempts to stop the plans of Christ! Satan\nhas NO NEW IDEAS! \u201cWhat has been is what will be, and what has been done is\nwhat will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.\u201d Ecclesiastes 1:9\nSatan is under the sun, and we\u2019re under the sun, BUT GOD IS NOT UNDER THE SUN.\nHE MADE THE SUN BY HIS POWER!! That SAME POWER OF THE SPIRIT IS IN YOU! \u201cBut\nyou will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be\nmy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the\nearth.” Acts 1:8 ESV (emphasis mine \ud83e\udd17). We don\u2019t shy AWAY from this POWER- it is a GIFT, but we must USE it.\nLet God\u2019s will be done on earth as it is in heaven – there are no weak ones in\nheaven – only powerful believers! So, let\u2019s up the ante, and press in, dig deep\nfor the last 7 days, and declare to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s pray for people\u2019s hearts to be TURNED BACK to\nChrist! For Gomer, the adulteress whom we epitomize when we say no to God, to\nbe purchased again by the life-changing, redeeming love-encounter with Christ!\nWhen we turn to Christ, we are NEVER the same! Our old life is in the grave and\nour new life is resurrected in Christ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue praying Matthew 7:7-8 \u201cAsk, and the\ngift is yours. Seek, and you\u2019ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened\nfor you. For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent\nseeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently\nwill one day find an open door.\u201d TPT
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 9, Tuesday:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of \u201cwho you voted for\u201d, \u201cwho you agree\nwith\u201d, \u201cwhich political person you think is smarter\u201d, etc, we are instructed to\npray! Our Nation\u2019s leaders make decisions today that will affect how we live 6\nmonths from now. These decisions will affect how our children, grand-children,\nnieces, and nephews experience their day-to-day lives.  Protests and riots\nSELDOM BRING the exact outcome desired.  They often bring about AWARENESS\nto a problem, but they have never been counted as a \u201csolution\u201d, more as a means\nto an end. BUT WE HAVE POWER! Our power is a gift and it is PRAYER, and OUR\nPRAYER IS EFFECTIVE!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray for our nation\u2019s leaders, state leaders,\nlocal leaders to honor God with their decision making, with their lives, with\ntheir work, and to humble themselves to the Authority of God! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 7:7-8, \u201cAsk, and it will be given to you;\nseek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who\nasks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will\nbe opened.\u201d ESV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 29:7, \u201cBut seek the welfare of the city\nwhere I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in\nits welfare you will find your welfare.\u201d ESV The City God has sent us to is the\ncity we work in, the one we live in, the one we \u201cdo community in\u201d! How has your\ncommunity changed by having you as a neighbor?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Timothy 2:1-4 \u201cFirst of all, then, I urge that\nsupplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all\npeople, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a\npeaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it\nis pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved\nand to come to the knowledge of the truth.\u201d ESV God, we want to do what pleases\nyou!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James 5:16 \u201cTherefore, confess your sins to one\nanother and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a\nrighteous person has great power as it is working.\u201d ESV

Day 10, Wednesday: <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember being taught about \u201copposites\u201d?\nOpposites attract, Opposite Day at school was always a crowd pleaser, and\nopposites were always easy to find: the opposite of black is white, the opposite\nof a smile is a frown, and the opposite of hate is love, right? Maybe not… IF\nthe opposite of love is hate, then that means that the opposite of Christ would\nbe Satan – because there is no hate in Christ and there is no love in satan.\nHowever, to put them in the same category definitely limits our comprehension\nof Christ: Christ\u2019s power is INFINITE, satan does have an end, and his end IS\nCOMING! Christ\u2019s LOVE is limitless, leaving 99 to find the 1, preparing a way\nfor me, lighting my path, fighting battles while I sleep, cutting off the head\nof Goliath while I\u2019m picking up rocks in the river by faith, making the rough\nplaces ahead of me smooth (Zephaniah 4:7)! Satan LOSES every time he tries to\nfight against God, because they are no match – they are not \u201cpolar opposites\u201d,\nlike some teach, Christ is in a category all His OWN!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know what the opposite of the love of\nChrist is, but I do know what Jesus warned us of the symptoms of not possessing\nit: one of those symptoms is anger, which is the root of murder. One of the Ten\nCommandments cautions is not to murder. I\u2019m proud to say I\u2019ve successfully not\nmurdered any person, but I do have a fair number of bugs and creepy crawly\nthings that have succumbed to my destructive power… BUT CHRIST came and points\nout that it\u2019s NOT ENOUGH not to murder! We have to not ever even get angry!! As\nI type this, it\u2019s early on a Saturday, and I\u2019ve kind of already gotten…\nirritated. Nothing major, just minor wrenches in what I thought my morning\nwould look like, so I\u2019m already messing up!! The point of Jesus\u2019 teachings is\nto PROVE OUR NEED FOR HIM!! So today, we pray against the demonic spirit of\nanger, which Christ reveals leads to murderous thoughts. We pray that the Love\nPower of Holy Spirit is released according to the Word of God in Colossians\n3:14. And not just for ourselves, but for our NATION! We pray for our nation to\nwake up to the love of God, for their eyes to be unveiled to see the Glory of\nGod and His Goodness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 7:7-8, \u201cAsk, and it will be given to you;\nseek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who\nasks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will\nbe opened.\u201d ESV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 5:21-22, \u201cYou have heard that it was said\nto those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to\njudgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be\nliable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council;\nand whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.\u201d ESV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colossians 3:14-17 \u201cAnd above all these put on\nlove, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of\nChrist rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be\nthankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing\none another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with\nthankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do\neverything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father\nthrough him.\u201d ESV<\/a>

Day 11, Thursday: <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Years ago, there was a description of leadership\noutlined in a book. It described that leaders can easily see who is totally\nagainst you, but you can\u2019t easily see who is \u201ckind of\u201d all-in, and those are\nthe ones who are the most dangerous. You see, the ones who are not quite\ncommitted to your \u201cplan\u201d are not pointing in the exact same direction. They\u2019re\njust 1 or 2 degrees off from your trajectory, and while they travel in that\nslightly off kilter path, they push others with them, slightly derailing,\nslightly deviating from the plan. Slightly. Barely even noticeable at\nfirst!  But when you zoom out, and look at the trajectories, though these\npeople start out at the same point as you, and generally follow the same path\nas you for a long time, you END UP at totally different places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray for the MEN of our nation. We pray\nthey are led by God to become True Men of God, not slightly off kilter Men of\nGod! The men are the supposed to be the head of the house and the head of the\nchurch, which is why satan ATTACKS the men – if he can lead the man astray, he\ncan lead the family astray, and their end location will not be where God had\nintended, and they miss out on God\u2019s best! Today, we take a stand for our\nhusbands, our dads, our sons, our grandsons, our nephews, our brothers, our\nbrothers-in-law, our uncles, our grandpas, and intercede for God to draw these\nmen to Him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pray to BIND ADDICTIONS and BIND THE SLAVERY OF\nSIN, the misuse of physical strength leading to domestic abuse, so that the\nSpirit of self-control, peace, and STRENGTH IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD can be\nreleased! The Name of Jesus has Power to break chains, to break strongholds, to\nopen prison doors, to set captives free!! We pray freedom over our men, and\npray for them to have wisdom and humility to be led by Christ so they can lead\nus to Him every. single. day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We declare\nMatthew 7:7-8 \u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find;\nknock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the\none who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.\u201d ESV <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titus 3:3-5 \u201cFor we ourselves were once foolish,\ndisobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our\ndays in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the\ngoodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not\nbecause of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy,\nby the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,\u201d ESV <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zechariah 4:6 \u201cThen he said to me, “This is\nthe word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by (human) might, nor by (human) power,\nbut by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.\u201d ESV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\nSpirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news\nto the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering\nof sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim\nthe year of the Lord’s favor.”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke\n4:18-19 ESV
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 12, Friday: <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Christ is our ultimate example – He teaches us\nright from wrong, He teaches us love and compassion, He teaches us patiently\nand gently: tender-hearted, like moms. Today we pray for Women in our nation:\nour moms, sisters, sisters-in-law, nieces, daughters, grandmas, mothers-in-law,\nand cousins. We pray for them to have a heart for their children and a heart\nfor each other, to demonstrate the love of Christ! To show tender-hearted mercy,\nto teach one another how to \u201cone another\u201d (love one another, encourage one\nanother, pray for one another – there are a lot of \u201cone anothers\u201d in the\nBible)! It\u2019s easy to tear down a woman in slander or gossip. It\u2019s easy to\nridicule a woman for any ridiculous reason, especially when someone else is\nwith you doing the same thing. Hate is EASY but LOVE takes courage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus was crucified for His \u201ccourage\u201d and His\ncriminal acts of forgiveness. HE is our Model, our Hero, our Idol, and\ndemonstrates how we ought to love each other: by laying down our desires, our\nlife, for one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 7:7-8, \u201cAsk, and it will be given to you;\nseek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who\nasks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will\nbe opened.\u201d ESV <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titus 2:3-5 \u201cLikewise with the female elders, lead\nthem into lives free from gossip and drunkenness and to be teachers of\nbeautiful things. This will enable them to teach the younger women to love\ntheir husbands, to love their children, and to be self-controlled and pure,\ntaking care of their household and being devoted to their husbands. By doing\nthese things the word of God will not be discredited.\u201d TPT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ephesians 4:29 \u201cAnd never let ugly or hateful words\ncome from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that\nencourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them.\u201d TPT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 1: 1-2 \u201cWhat delight comes to the one who\nfollows God\u2019s ways! He won\u2019t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the\nsinner\u2019s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner\u2019s seat. His pleasure and\npassion is remaining true to the Word of \u201cI Am,\u201d meditating day and night in\nthe true revelation of light.\u201d TPT
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 13, Saturday: <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember what life was like before you\nexperienced the life-changing love of Jesus Christ? Do you remember the\nloneliness? Do you remember the destructive power of your uncontrollable\nemotions and actions – ruining friendships, ruining your own heart, making you\nbitter? Do you remember your suspicion of everyone – that no one was genuine or\ntrustworthy? Do you remember the erosion that happened when you were in control\nof your own life: the chasing after pointless things, pursuing short-term\nsatisfaction leading to long-term pain, dishonesty, hopelessness, and no way to\nbe or do anything different because you were crippled by your powerless ability\nto save yourself from yourself? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bible describes this \u201cold way of life\u201d many\ndifferent ways, but perhaps one of the most vivid pictures is with bugs! \u201cWhat\nthe gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the\nswarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping\nlocust has left, the stripping locust has eaten.\u201d JOEL 1:4 NASB<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Spirit revealed that each type of locust\nrepresents deeper sin where we were trapped in our sin. God tried to reveal our\nmistakes to us, but we ignored Him. So, He sent a gnawing locust to try to get\nour attention so we would repent and return to Him. Only, we were led again by\nour own evil desires and God tried to reveal our mistakes to us, but we ignored\nHim. So He sent a swarming locust to try to get our attention so we would\nrepent and return to Him. Only, we were led farther away from God by our own\nevil desires… eventually there was nothing left in our lives! WE HIT ROCK\nBOTTOM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s another way to see it: lifeguards.\nLifeguards are trained to save your life from the pull of gravity: pulling you\ndeeper into water where you\u2019ll either drown or get eaten by a shark (it all\ndepends on where you\u2019re swimming…). Lifeguards are trained that they cannot\nrescue you until you stop trying to rescue yourself. WHAT?! Apparently, if\nyou\u2019re still trying to rescue yourself, your arms and legs are doing \u201cso much\nwork\u201d, that you are a risk to the lifeguard\u2019s own safety, and the lifeguard\ntrying to save you ends up in the same peril that you\u2019re in!  Lifeguards\nare trained to swim near, and wait like a vulture until you run out of gas, and\nthen you can be safely brought to shore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How quickly do you run out of gas? How soon before\nyou hit rock bottom? You can learn a lot about yourself in these moments. \nWhere you run reveals your true nature. Do you run to food? Do you run to\nalcohol? Do you run to Our Comforter? God wants us to run to Him! But more than\nthat: He wants us to hit rock bottom and run out of gas sooner, so that we\ndon\u2019t destroy so many things (or people) before we reach for His hand. The\nfaster you hit rock bottom, the faster you can be helped. How long does it take\nyou to run to Jesus instead of drowning in fear? God allows us to get to the\nend of our strength to give us a choice to follow Him. True Love has no\ncaptives. True Love has no slaves. The work we do, we do for the Father, out of\nlove- out of His strength given to us, not our own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is even better news: there is a miracle\ncoming!! The RESTORATION of God takes our past, and makes it fruitful: to give\nus beauty from the ashes we give Him, to restore what we allowed the locusts to\ndestroy! Jesus Christ is our REDEEMER! When we reach out to Him in our\ndestructive behavior, in our sin, He RESTORES what we destroy!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we pray that the REDEEMING POWER of Christ\nis poured out like a drink offering over families and identities. We pray to\nhave a shorter rope, to rely on ourselves less! We pray that He restores what\nthe locusts have eaten in our own lives, churches, and nation; and we repent of\nrelying on ourselves for far too long! We believe that we are who God says we\nare, now what our mistakes say about us. You may have \u201cdone that\u201d but you are\nnot \u201cthat\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 7:7-8, “Ask, and it will be given to\nyou; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone\nwho asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it\nwill be opened.\u201d ESV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 John 4:18 \u201cThere is no fear in love, but perfect\nlove casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has\nnot been perfected in love.\u201d ESV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel 2:25-26 \u201cI will restore to you the years that\nthe swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my\ngreat army, which I sent among you. “You shall eat in plenty and be\nsatisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously\nwith you. And my people shall never again be put to shame.\u201d ESV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 6:6-7 \u201cCould it be any clearer that our\nformer identity is now and forever deprived of its power? For we were\nco-crucified with him to dismantle the stronghold of sin within us, so that we\nwould not continue to live one moment longer submitted to sin\u2019s power.\nObviously, a dead person is incapable of sinning.\u201d TPT
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 14, Sunday:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The final day is here! I pray you\u2019ve drawn closer\nto Our Father and seen His miraculous wonder over the last 2 weeks. There is\nfruit!! Our final day of revival, fasting, and prayer is prayer for\nSanctification and discipleship in the Name of Jesus Christ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been praying along with us, you may be\nlike me and have difficulty remembering every verse and every detail we\u2019ve\nprayed for and groaned for, but God has no memory loss AND our prayers NEVER\nEXPIRE! Have you ever thought of that? What you pray to God never expires. It\nisn\u2019t like milk: good for 3 weeks, unless you leave it on the counter too\nlong… or like meat: keep it in the freezer until you\u2019re ready for it, then\nuse it when you need it. No, your prayers never expire. Today, we pray that\nwhat we have prayed for all along will be shepherded by God. The seeds of\nprayer that what we have sown as seeds of faith will produce fruit and not\nfizzle out like a summer sparkler! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
