Day 5 - 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

WASHING & ANOINTING

Read: Matthew 6:17-18

Jesus naturally expects that his disciples would fast, and he talks about how they can do it the right way. In Jesus's time, devout Jews fasted one day a week, Pharisees even 2 days. In doing so, they positioned themselves in places where they would be seen by everyone and visually emphasized their fast by smearing paint on their faces. Jesus was not concerned with the outward observance of religious formalities. He was always concerned with the heart. When he says to wash your face and anoint your head, vastly different dimensions are involved.

In the book of Ruth 3:3, Naomi advises her daughter-in-law before she meets her future bridegroom, "Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor".

When you fast, prepare yourself for encounters with God the Father, with Jesus the Bridegroom, and with the Holy Spirit. You can wash and anoint yourself outwardly, but you can also do it spiritually.

Wash
Cleanse yourself by asking Jesus to examine your heart and show you the areas that interfere with your relationship. Confess to him where you have drifted away in your heart. You can exchange all that is negative for the renewal and restoration that Jesus purchased for you on the cross.

Many people report that in times of fasting they are much more sensitive to the speaking of the Holy Spirit and He has shown them where things have crept into their lives that hinder their relationship with God, themselves, or others. Throughout the Bible, fasting always has an aspect of repentance, asking for forgiveness and realigning oneself.

Anoint Yourself
When the Bible speaks of "anointing oil", it often refers to the Holy Spirit.
Anoint yourself by asking the Holy Spirit to fill you anew.

Prayer

Father in heaven. Thank you for promising that you will reward my fasting. I am full of expectation for times of encounter with you and I want to consciously make time for you and your presence, this day and in the days to come. Jesus, I ask that you cleanse me completely by your blood from all things that displease you (if you can think of specific things here, pronounce them and exchange them at the cross). Holy Spirit, please fill me anew and anoint me. Amen

Get Free & Next Step

When you get yourself ready in the bathroom today and in the next few days, do it deliberately. When you shower or take a bath, you can use this as an outward sign of an inner process of purification during this fast. If you use creams, ointments, perfume, or aftershave, ask the Holy Spirit to fill and equip you and make you a pleasing aroma before God and men. Prepare yourself inwardly and outwardly for encounters with God during this fasting period.

Day 4 - 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

THE SECRET

Read: Matthew 6:6-7 and 17-18.

How do you feel about fasting? Do you tell everyone how weak you are because you are currently fasting?

The passage today is to encourage you to fast and pray in secret. Of course, you can tell anyone who asks that you are not eating. But don't tell everyone without being asked.

Fasting and your personal prayer times are a matter of discretion, almost like a secret between your heavenly Father and you. It is not about going public so much as it is about times of encounter. Good friends or spouses share secrets with each other. Conversations shared in confidence, secrets that not everyone knows, are often especially precious.

The Father sees all that you covertly invest in His kingdom, which no one else sees. Jesus promises that the Father will reward your fasting.

Isn't that great?

He does not say which reward awaits you but be attentive and expect that God wants to meet you, that he wants to speak to you, that he has prepared good things for you.

Today, deliberately take time to talk to the Father. Don't just talk about him or read about him, but exchange ideas with him like with a friend. Consciously seek to meet and talk with him.

Jeremiah 33:3 says: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Prayer, Get Free & Next Step

Grab some paper and a pen and start your prayer with the following words:

"Father, here I am. I am purposefully seeking you today. I am here to meet you and to listen to you. Thank you for promising to show me secrets."

Perhaps it will help you to write down the thoughts, impulses, impressions, and Bible words that come to you in your conversation with God. Start with "My beloved son/daughter..." and continue writing from the perspective of your loving Father.

Day 3 - 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

LET THE SPIRIT OF GOD GUIDE YOU

Read: Luke 4:1-2

Several things are noticeable about the time of fasting and prayer that Jesus spent at the beginning of his ministry.

It was a time initiated by the Holy Spirit and directed by the Holy Spirit who guided him.

It was a time in the desert, a place where there were few distractions. No noise, no people, no houses, no bustle.

It was a time of testing and temptation.

It was a time with the Word of God.

If we continue reading the story, we see that Jesus countered every temptation of the devil with the Word of God.

In today’s terms, we could say that Jesus deliberately went into a kind of boot camp at the beginning of his ministry, from which he emerged very much strengthened. He entrusted himself to the Holy Spirit like a coach during this time. He committed himself to a time in the wilderness, overcame trials, and used the Word of God as his weapon in the battle.

Excitingly, after this period of fasting, Jesus began his powerful ministry of signs and wonders.

The days ahead will be a bit like boot camp for you too. The Holy Spirit is your trainer. He knows how to exercise your spiritual muscles. He knows which trials will challenge you but not overwhelm you. A period of fasting is a special spiritual training time.

You have probably already made plans for how you will spend the days ahead. Consciously place the whole time under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and ask Him to show you what is important in these next days. Now, at the beginning of these days, take time again with the Holy Spirit, your coach.

Paul writes in his letter to the Galatians: " So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)

Prayer, Get Free & Next Step

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in and through this Fast and write down the impulses He gives you personally for this fasting period.

Day 2 - 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

FASTING COLLECTIVELY

Read: Joel 2:12-18

Churches are increasingly deciding to declare special times of collective fasting and prayer. There is great power when we fast and seek God as a whole church.

In the first part of the Bible, God himself called his people here to fast and turn back to him. Today, our fasting is not about averting punishment or pleading for forgiveness of sins. Every sin and punishment were carried by Jesus Christ. But today, as in those days, the Father is concerned with the hearts of his children, not with outward gestures.

Read: Revelations 2:4-5a

The call found in the Book of Joel was to all the people - from infants to seniors. The spiritual leaders came before the throne of God in a special way to intercede. And today also, we are called to intercede as Christians, for example for our country, our government, for persecuted Christians, the powerful proclamation of God's Word, and for people being saved.

Especially in a phase in which the whole world is reeling from shocks, in which no one knows exactly what will happen next, where plans that were previously considered so certain suddenly become uncertain, the call to the church to turn to God with all their heart and to pray as a royal priesthood is more relevant than ever.

The Book of Acts describes how the whole church gathered in prayer for specific concerns and how God supernaturally intervened in response to their prayers.

Read: Acts 12:5

Let us turn our hearts to God together in a new way - in fasting and prayer - and pray in agreement with the heart of God that his kingdom will come.

Perhaps you would like to fast with your Lifegroup or with your spouse, or as a whole family. Maybe you can join with a friend. Join us for our daily church prayer meetings every night, either on our prayer conference call or Wednesday night service. Once you team up with someone else in fasting and prayer, there is an added special power because you are standing together as a group for one cause.

Immediately following the collective fasting in the book of Joel, you see God reaching out to his people again (Joel 2:18).  And in the section on the fasting challenge, it says:

“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." (Joel 3:1)

Fasting can have tremendous effects. A new outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Revival. Signs and wonders. Prophetic dreams and visions. But in all of this, God is always interested in our heart, to be close to his heart.

Prayer

Father, thank you for the many examples in the Bible where your people came together to fast and pray. Help me and help us to fast as you want us to. I turn my heart to you anew. Please touch my heart this fasting season with the things that move you. We long for revival in ourselves, in our churches, and in our country. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven! Amen.

Day 1 - 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

FUNDAMENTALS

Read: Luke 3:21-22 and Luke 4:1-2

Today is the first day of our 21 days of fasting and prayer. Jesus himself fasted at the beginning of his ministry. We are following him. We want to learn from him and do the same things he did.

Before Jesus went into the time of fasting, he had the reliable assurance of the Father: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:22). This is also our basis for every fast. The promise of God's love for you stands firm, and you are standing on that promise. None of your actions will make the Father love you more or love you less.

Your fasting will not increase God's love for you, and should you fail, the Heavenly Father loves you just as much as before.

Fasting is not about earning God's love, but about making time and space for the one who loves you so much.

Jesus Himself stated that the Father loves us as He loves Jesus. (John 17:23)
What a powerful promise!

When Jesus was fasting in the wilderness, the devil came and began the first temptation with the words "If you are the Son of God...". (Luke 4:3). The little word "if" was a trick of the enemy to challenge the firm promise of God's love.

At the beginning of this fast, realize that you are God's child and that the Father has promised you his unchanging love. Nothing can separate you from this love. That is your foundation.

The enemy will always try to rob you of that foundation. When we feel guilty because we have failed or when we have a bad day, we are too quick to project our feelings onto God.

The Bible tells us to resist the devil and he will flee from us. Consciously position yourself on the promise of God's unchanging love and don't let anything rob you of this certainty.

Prayer

Father, thank you that you love me as you love Jesus. Thank you that this promise is the foundation on which I stand. I want to know your heart more and more these days. Let me know the breadth and length, depth and height of your love more and more. Help me to quickly expose every lie of the accuser and resist his temptations. This I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Next Step

Is there something that will remind you for the next 21 days that you are loved? Maybe as a symbol, picture, Bible verse on the bathroom mirror, or wallpaper on your smartphone or in your wallet.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - December 2022

It’s Christmas and there's nothing like a road trip to make it special!

Whether it’s a ride to enjoy a seasonal holiday lighting event, or a road trip to visit family over the holiday season, this month is known for travelling. The first Christmas story was filled with this familiar feature too. Mary and Joseph had to travel to Nazareth for the birth of Christ, then flee to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod, only to find themselves once again on a journey back home to Nazareth. However, there was great eternal purpose in their road trips that also revealed much about the character of the God they served, who loved them deeply.

The Road to Bethlehem – Luke 2:1-5

A natural circumstance like a census called Mary & Joseph from their hometown of Nazareth to Bethlehem, where Jesus was to be born. The shepherds were directed by angels to go to Bethlehem to see the sign that the Saviour had arrived—a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. The Wisemen travelled a great distance led by a star to come and worship the new-born king. The God who calls is the one who promises to also guide, and he uses many different means to do so. Are you in a place where you need God’s guidance? Ever found yourself in a place you were not sure you wanted to be? You can trust the Lord is with you and will lead you in this moment.

The Road to Nazareth – Matthew 2:19-23

The journey in life can be fraught with all kinds of circumstances and inherit dangers. Once King Herod hears about the birth of a new King of the Jews, he perceives a threat to his power and rule. So he seeks to destroy Jesus and ultimately God’s plan of salvation through Christ. But the God who calls is the God who also protects and provides. The road to Egypt provides a way of escape from the plans of the enemy and the wisemen’s gifts provide the resources needed to do so. Nothing can stop God’s plans and purposes from being fulfilled. God also supplies what is needed. The same is true for us in our journey of faith in this life.

The Road to Nazareth – Matthew 2:19-23

God finally leads Mary, Joseph, and Jesus back to their hometown of Nazareth in fulfillment of two more prophecies: God calling His son out of Egypt and that Jesus would be called a Nazarene. From there he would grow-up and leave to launch his public ministry. God’s plan is to lead us to Christmas and our eternal home.

During this month known for travelling, let’s pray into these Roads of Christmas and the themes found in the Christmas story. God wants to fill you will full assurance that He who calls you also protects and provides, to see His will fulfilled in our lives.

Scriptures

Luke 2:1-5 (NLT) … The Birth of Jesus
1 At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. 2 (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. 4 And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. 5 He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.

Matthew 2:13-14 (NLT) … The Escape to Egypt

13 After the wise men were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up! Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother,” the angel said. “Stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”

14 That night Joseph left for Egypt with the child and Mary, his mother, 15 and they stayed there until Herod’s death. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “I called my Son out of Egypt.”

Matthew 2:19-23 (NLT) … The Return to Nazareth

19 When Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. 20 “Get up!” the angel said. “Take the child and his mother back to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead.”

21 So Joseph got up and returned to the land of Israel with Jesus and his mother. 22 But when he learned that the new ruler of Judea was Herod’s son Archelaus, he was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee. 23 So the family went and lived in a town called Nazareth. This fulfilled what the prophets had said: “He will be called a Nazarene.”

Prayer Declaration

Joy to the world the Lord has come, let the earth, every nation, tongue, and tribe receive the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Lord, I stand here today in December 2022 and declare that You are my Jehovah Ebenezer, my helper. You have brought me, my household, PPT households and the church thus far. I affirm that if You had not been on our side where would we be? We would have been swallowed up by the devil, our adversaries, sickness, pain, hopelessness, and every bad news. But we are here and Jehovah Emmanuel, our God is with us. Hallelujah!

As the world celebrates the birth of our Lord (Christmas), Lord, this season bring joy, peace, healing, hope, and comfort to our homes, PPT, the church, and the nations. Father, for those in our PPT family who are fearful of this Christmas season, Jehovah El-Elyon let them have a supernatural encounter in Jesus’ name. Like David we say aloud ‘’But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.’’ Yes, You Lord Jehovah, You are my helper, my honour and the lifter of my head. Oh Lord our God, as 2022 ends and we are being ushered into 2023, we pray and ask that You guide us to thy perfect light and so shall it be.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - November 2022

We are confessing and contending containers.

What an incredible water baptism service we experienced this past Sunday! The testimonies of people’s journey to faith in Christ were varied, powerful, and astounding. We heard how God is continually reaching out with his incredible unconditional love and compassion for the souls of people. How the Lord uses whatever means possible and necessary to draw people and reveal himself to them to bring them to a confession of faith in Jesus Christ.

Confessing Your Faith

Coming to a place of acknowledging that Jesus is the Son of God and the only acceptable sacrifice for our sin is the door and gateway to our salvation. The Bible declares, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10, NKJV). Let’s pray that the Holy Spirit will move in such power and anointing that many more people will come to acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Saviour of their soul. Our confession has to expand to all people who are in our circle of influence, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33, NKJV) Pray that believers will boldly declare their faith in Jesus!

Contending For The Faith

We are all called by God to contend for this faith that has been delivered to us. Jude 3 states, Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

God’s Word and the gift of eternal life have infinite value and have been entrusted to Christ’s faithful followers. To contend for our faith means we are willing to defend it. God’s truth must go forth, carried, and defended by those who have committed their lives to God’s Son – Jesus. Let’s pray and be determined to stand firm in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and defend the God’s truth at all costs.

Containers of Faith

Paul the Apostle described us and our faith in Jesus Christ, “But this precious treasure – this light and power that now shine within us – is held in perishable containers, that is our weak bodies. So that everyone can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)

It says this faith is ‘precious treasure’ and that is held in ‘perishable containers’ or as another translation describes, ‘earthen vessels’ or ‘jars of clay’. Whatever term you might use, we are the embodiment of confessing and contending for our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

---

This Sunday is the International Day of Prayer For the Persecuted Church and we will be remembering and praying for fellow believers all around the world who are being persecuted in horrendous ways for their faith in Christ. This year’s theme is Not Abandoned based on the Scripture, “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.9 We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9, NLT).

Let’s pray for all persecuted believers that they would know they will never be abandoned by God nor His people – who will pray. We are also adding a new feature to our days of fasting and prayer --- sharing specific local, national, and global missions prayer requests.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - October 2022

The three fall feasts.

The fall season is now upon us and with it comes three major Jewish holidays that have great prophetic significance for us as believers. The three fall feasts are Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. Each of these feasts has a universally accepted meaning to Jewish people in general, but to those who have received Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, there is a deeper, more prophetic meaning. Let’s look at each of them in turn and pray into the prophetic meaning of each of these holidays on our day of fasting and prayer. Interestingly, our October day of fasting and prayer falls on one of them – Yom Kippur!

ROSH HASHANAH is the Day of Trumpets (Sept 25-26). It is widely celebrated in the Jewish world as the civil new year, and is the entranceway into the ‘Days of Awe.’ The blasts of the shofar is the wake-up call to repent before it is too late. Even those of us who have received salvation need to be shaken out of our complacency and pushed to higher levels in Messiah. As believers though, we are desperately awaiting that time when the Lord Himself will return to this Earth. Scripture states in that the “Lord himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling angels, and with God’s shofar; those who died united with the Messiah will be the first to rise; then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord.” (1Thessalonians 4:16-17)

The blast of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah will signal the end of the world as we know it. And then, “It will take but a moment, the blink of an eye, at the final shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever, and we too will be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:52) So we approach the Day of Trumpets with godly fear and repentance.

YOM KIPPUR is considered to be the holiest day in the Jewish calendar (Oct 4-5), after Shabbat (Sabbath day of rest). This is the day in which atonement for our sins is made before the Lord by Jewish people. It is a day of somber reflection, prayer and fasting. In ancient Israel, after the high priest sacrificed the bull and goat for the sins of the people, a second goat, known as the scapegoat, was taken by the high priest. He would lay both hands on its head and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites and put them on the goat’s head. He would then send the goat away into the desert to a solitary place. (Leviticus 16:20-22)

As believers, we know, of course, that our atonement is Jesus himself. It is only through His sacrificial death on the cross that we can receive forgiveness of sins. He is the scapegoat, sent to die outside the camp for all our wickedness and rebellion. It was all placed on His head, thus causing Him to die the most horrible death in all human history. The atonement of Jesus reaches backwards and forwards so that every person who has ever existed can repent before God and be saved. What an awesome thing!

SUKKOT, or the Feast of Tabernacles (Oct 9-16), is the most joyous celebration of all. The Lord commanded the Israelites to build booths and live in them for seven days: 42 For seven days you must live outside in little shelters. All native-born Israelites must live in shelters. 43 This will remind each new generation of Israelites that I made their ancestors live in shelters when I rescued them from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” (Leviticus 23:42-43, NLT)

Jewish people are also commanded, “On the first day gather branches from magnificent trees—palm fronds, boughs from leafy trees, and willows that grow by the streams. Then celebrate with joy before the Lord your God for seven days.” (Leviticus 23:40, NLT) Sukkot is the ingathering; it’s the time to remember how the Lord provided for the Israelites as they wandered in the desert for forty years.

Prophetically, though, Sukkot points us to the time when God will dwell with us in the holy city, Jerusalem.

This is what the Lord says: “And now the Lord says: I am returning to Mount Zion, and I will live in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City; the mountain of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will be called the Holy Mountain. (Zechariah 8:3, NLT)

Imagine what it will be like when the Lord returns to this earth and sets up His throne and all peoples stream to Him! “And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord—his name alone will be worshiped. (Zechariah 14:9, NLT) Now we need to be commanded to be joyful, then there will be no holding back the exaltation!

Our bodies are temporary structures, like the booths at Sukkot. A day is coming when we will be given new bodies, we will realize eternity, and the Lord will be with us always. “For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:17, NLT)

Let’s fast and prayer into the significance of these fall feasts as it relates to the work of the kingdom of God on earth now!

Week of Fasting & Prayer - September 2022

Back To School

More than ever, schools need our prayers. We are in a fierce battle for the next generation. The enemy is targeting children younger and younger. The biggest spiritual battles are being fought in our preschool and elementary schools, not to mention our high schools, colleges, and universities. It is so important to pray for our schools, teachers and administrators, bus drivers, crossing guards, parents, and caregivers.

The enemy is waging an all-out war to indoctrinate children with a secular worldview that is in direct conflict with a Biblical worldview. One of the most important things we can do as Christians is to pray. No spiritual battles are won without prayer. Prayer makes the difference. Nothing of eternal value happens without it. So, let’s give ourselves to fasting and prayer as people head back to school this fall…it will make an eternal difference!

---

Prayer Points

Let's Pray:

• For God to command his angels to guard and protect our schools (Psalm 91:11)

• For students and teachers to know and believe they are loved by God who created them (Psalm 139:13-14; John 3:16)

• For teachers to welcome and love the students (1 Corinthians 16:14)

• For teachers to be clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and wisdom (1 Peter 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23)

• For schools to have godly teachers, coaches, staff, etc.

• For teachers to speak the truth in love. (Ephesians 4:15)

• Pray any teaching that goes against God’s Word, would fall on deaf ears (Colossians 2:8-9)

• For students to honour and respect their teachers, bus drivers, crosswalk guards (1 Peter 2:13-14)

• For students to show love and respect to their teachers (Luke 6:31)

• For students who come from difficult home situations to be shown love, mercy, and compassion (Philippians 2:4)

• For students to be rooted and grounded in their faith (Colossians 2:6-7)

• For students who are believers, that their faith will not be shaken by those who attack or question it (Ephesians 4:15)

• For students to have wisdom (James 1:5)

• For kids not to be swayed by peer pressure but instead stand for the truth with boldness (1 John 3:7)

• For students who are Christ followers that they will know they are ambassadors of Christ, and his desire is to use them to reach other students/teachers. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Prayer Declaration

Father, we thank you for the start of another school year. Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so will you surround our educators, students, and all those who work in the educational system. Jehovah, send your angels to guard and protect our schools, and to bring our students into their destinies in Jesus’ name. Father, we pray that this year will be an unusual year because your presence will be strong in every school district and board. You will lift up your right hand to protect our students, teachers, coaches, and workers from all forms of evil.

Jehovah Nissi, expose and uproot the schemes of the devil in and around our education system. In Jesus’ name we decree and declare that any evil agenda will be crushed in this school year. Father, when the devil comes in like a flood, your standard and banner will be raised against them. Release a greater measure of grace (great grace) upon the believers who are students, teachers, and workers. Lead them into triumph and bring them victories, this school year. “Now may the grace and joyous favour of the Lord Jesus Christ, the unambiguous love of God and the precious communion of the Holy Spirit be theirs continually.” So shall it be.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - August 2022

Grace, Love, and Fellowship

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. —2 Corinthians 13:14 (NLT)

This powerful Trinitarian benediction found at the end of the Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians speaks to the reality of the Trinity—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Like a three-legged stool, it provides us with the spiritual foundational blessings each person of the Trinity offers to us.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ gives us salvation and all our spiritual blessings. Grace can be generally defined as “God’s favour toward the unworthy” or “God’s benevolence on the undeserving.” In his grace, God is willing to forgive us and bless us, despite the fact that we fall short of living righteously. That grace is found in Jesus Christ. “We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts 15:11, NLT). Let’s pray that people will come to Jesus and find the grace they so desperately need and long for in their lives.

The love of God is foundational to our understanding of God’s dealings with us.“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16, NKJV) When the love of God fills our hearts, we have confidence that, “No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:39, NLT). Let’s pray that people will experience the love of God and it will flood their hearts and lives as it has the power to keep us rooted and grounded in God.

The fellowship of the Holy Spirit speaks of the relationship we can enjoy with the Holy Spirit who comes to commune with us. When we walk in close fellowship with the Holy Spirit, we enjoy great comfort even in times of sorrow and difficulty (Acts 9:31). The Holy Spirit also offers his counsel to guide us into all truth (John 16:13) and teach us what we need to know (John 14:26). When we have fellowship with the Holy Spirit, we can get great confidence and courage to face the battles of life. (Isaiah 59:19). Let’s pray that God’s people will experience a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit so we can receive all that he willingly offers and supplies!

Day of Fasting & Prayer - July 2022

Let Freedom Reign

This month we celebrate the Canada Day holiday commemorating the birth of our nation. On July 1, 1867 Canada became a new federation with its own constitution by signing the Constitution Act - formerly known as the British North America Act.

Canada’s national anthem declares we are, ‘the True North strong and free’ and asks that ‘God keep our land glorious and free.’

There is an inborn cry in every heart for freedom. However, freedom is an interesting word that means different things to people. We long for it not always knowing what it actually looks like. Many people are seeking political freedom as wars rage around the world. Others cry out for personal freedom to do what they want with their lives and bodies, as we witness with the overturning of Roe vs Wade and the abortion debate in America.

Freedom is understood as either having the ability to act or change without constraint or to possess the power and resources to fulfill one's purposes unhindered.

Jesus taught about true essence of freedom, how to receive that freedom and how to live in freedom. Because first and foremost what we need is spiritual freedom.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). Jesus is the truth that sets us free. And the truth is we are slaves to sin. When we believe in him and receive him as Saviour and Lord, He forgives us and breaks the power of sin and places a new nature within us.

When that radical spiritual freedom is won at the core of our being, then we are truly free. Then there is an ongoing work of the Spirit to bring deliverance and freedom to our soul (mind, emotions and will) as we walk in the truth of God’s Word. This freedom allows us to love God and love others, walk in truth, and live life to the fullest.

Let’s pray that freedom will come to the spirits of those who do not yet know Christ – that they will come to believe in Jesus and receive Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. Let’s pray that greater freedom will come to the souls of God’s people – freedom from fears, anxieties, discouragement, depression, or addictions that have been brought on through the pandemic. Let’s pray that healing and freedom from sickness and disease will flow to those in body who need it. Let’s believe for freedom to reign in people’s spirit, soul, and bodies as we believe it, declare it, and decree it in Jesus Name!

Day of Fasting & Prayer - June 2022

Keep Circling Jericho

Gratitude is thanking God after He does it.
Faith is thanking God before He does it.

As we stand in faith believing God for breakthroughs, miracles, and advances to take place in his kingdom and in our personal lives, we must remember that the answers to these requests actually happen twice.

The first answer comes in the spiritual realm. A great example of this is found in the conquest of the city of Jericho, 1 Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in. 2 But the lord said to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors.” (Joshua 6:1-2, NLT)

Did you catch the verb tense? It should be future tense. “I will give.” It hadn’t happened yet, right? So, why is it past tense: “I have given?” It was already a done deal. God had given Joshua the promise … ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you … (Joshua1:3). God had already promised this victory so hence it was a done deal. Marching around the walls was the expression of faith and prayer to complete it in the spirit realm and to set-up the physical manifestation of the miracle on the seventh day!

You see, every breakthrough, every miracle, every answer to prayer happens twice. It happens in the spiritual realm first. We pray and keep praying until we sense a breakthrough in the spirit realm. It comes with a release in our spirits and sense of peace in our hearts that God has heard and will respond. Then by faith we thank God before it ever happens or manifests in the physical realm.

Another great example is found in the feeding of the five thousand. Jesus asked Philip a question: “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?” Do you really think Jesus was asking Philip to pull out his GPS and located the nearest Mandarin buffet? Jesus was kneading Philip and we know this from Scriptures because it says, 6 He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do. God has the answer; He has the provision. God knows how He is going to bring about the miracle.

The timing is all up to God but keep circling your Jericho in prayer and praise Him for the answer in faith believing!

Scriptures

Joshua 1:1-5 (NLT) … The Lord’s Charge to Joshua

1 After the death of Moses the Lord’s servant, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant. He said, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them. 3 I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you— 4 from the Negev wilderness in the south to the Lebanon mountains in the north, from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, including all the land of the Hittites.’ 5 No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.

Joshua 6:1-2 (NLT) … The Fall of Jericho

1 Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in. 2 But the Lord said to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors. 3 You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days. 4 Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns. 5 When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse, and the people can charge straight into the town.”

John 6:1-13 (NLT) … Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
1 After this, Jesus crossed over to the far side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A huge crowd kept following him wherever he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick. 3 Then Jesus climbed a hill and sat down with his disciples around him. 4 (It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration.) 5 Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people coming to look for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?” 6 He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do.

Therefore, I declare that, the walls of my Jericho has fallen, and it will continue to fall in the name of Jesus. My roots, the roots of PPT households will be aligned and grounded in you, O Lord. I seal this with the blood of Jesus and so shall it be.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - May 2022

The Struggle Is Real

Many people are struggling today with mental health issues and various forms of spiritual oppression. The crisis of the past couple of years has created an environment that has fostered these issues.

Isolation from others and the social interactions that are necessary for creating healthy relationships and influences in our lives has been a major contributor to the struggle. Unfortunately, it has also created the stage for many to open the door of their lives to ungodly influences. This has allowed the enemy to harass and oppress them spiritually.

Let’s pray that people will repent and choose to close those entranceways into our lives. That they will hunger to feed ourselves more intensely on God’s Word and pour their hearts out to Him in worship and prayer. They will have a desire birthed in them by the Spirit of God to connect more deeply with Jesus and others. That God would use each of us to show His compassion to other’s through our presence in their lives.

The good news is that Jesus has come to do this very thing. He has come to set the captives free and deliver the oppressed!

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me, to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;” (Luke 4:18)

God is moving. We have seen so many new people coming to church. God is drawing them by His Spirit. They are seeking for breakthrough, freedom, and healing. The answer is in the coming and anointing of the Holy Spirit upon their lives and them connecting more deeply with other believers.

Would you join us this month in fasting and prayer, asking the Lord to release a new powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit upon his people and our community? Pray that God will grant people a willing heart to turn and return to the Lord. Pray for a breakthrough anointing that will set the captives free and deliver those who are oppressed. Pray that this will be a year that we experience the Lord’s favour even in the midst of the present challenges of life!

Scriptures

Psalm 13 (NLT)
1 O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
 How long will you look the other way?
2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
 with sorrow in my heart every day?
 How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
3 Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
 Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.
4 Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”
 Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love.
 I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
6 I will sing to the Lord
 because he is good to me.
 

Luke 4:14-18 (NLT)

14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. 15 He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.
16 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. 17 The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free,
 

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NLT) … The Whole Armor of God
10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - Apr 2022

Who is Jesus?

There is a difference between knowing about a lot of people and knowing them personally. Social psychology says that actually knowing someone requires personal and private knowledge that comes from being with someone over time and building up a level of trust so that they let them in. Knowing about someone is just the first step toward actually knowing them.

It’s the same way with God. Thankfully, God has gone to great lengths to make himself known to us. He does this through nature, personal spiritual interactions and ultimately the revelation of himself through his son, Jesus Christ.

While there was no clearer way that Jesus could have said “I am Jehovah God,” he did not stop there. Instead, he continued to dive even deeper into revealing his nature and character by working purposeful miracles and making the following seven descriptive statements about himself, each with real implications for humanity:

1. I am the Bread of Life: Jesus alone can sustain us, who are but starving beggars looking for food (John 6).

2. I am the Light of the World: Jesus is the original and eternal source of light in the universe for us who are spiritually blind by birth (John 8).

3. I am the Gate of the Sheepfold: Jesus is the only door to life for us who are lost outside God’s will (John 10).

4. I am the Good Shepherd: Jesus knows and cares for us who are orphaned, wandering sheep, without a shepherd (John 10).

5. I am the Resurrection and the Life: Jesus is the key to escaping spiritual death for us who are hopelessly doomed to death because of our sin (John 11).

6. I am the Way, Truth, and Life: Jesus is the accessible path, the illuminating truth, and the giver of life for us who are lost, ignorant, and dead without Him (John 14).

7. I am the True Vine: Jesus is the source of eternal life for us who are dead and useless branches apart from him (John 15).

Knowing and exploring these I am statements of Jesus will lead us from just knowing about Jesus and into a deeper relationship of knowing him personally. Let’s pray into these I am statements this month as we remember the one who came to give his life for us on the cross. Let’s also believe that many people will come to Christ this Easter season and all of us will develop a deeper relationship with him through the I am statements of Jesus.

Resurrect and give life to every dead situation in the households of PPT and the church. I affirm that Jesus is the way, the truth, and life. Jesus, light of the world, light my world with your life-given light. Jesus our Redeemer, change the destinies of PPT households and the universal church by your life-given light. You are the gateway to life; Jesus, I choose you as the gateway to my affairs. PPT households and the church choose you as the gateway to their affairs. Therefore, I affirm and declare that I will experience life, freedom, and satisfaction in this season and the devil will not deprive me of that, in Jesus’ mighty name. Jesus the good shepherd, shepherd my life and soul until my last breath, and so shall it be.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - Mar 2022

War in Ukraine

We want to provide you with the latest update from the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada on the Ukraine war situation and the status of our missionaries and their work in that country. We are calling our PPT family to join us in fasting and pray for peace in Ukraine for this month’s day of fasting and prayer.

PAOC has an associate global worker in Ukraine — Ed Dickson and his family. In God’s sovereignty they returned to Canada on furlough some months ago, long before the current problems started. They are safe and sound in southern Ontario and helping to co-ordinate the PAOC humanitarian response in Ukraine through ERDO (Emergency Relief and Development Overseas).

We thank God the Dicksons are safe, but that said, we are extremely concerned for our national partners and their families still in Ukraine. Lines of communication remain open, and we are in contact with them. Thankfully, the banking system is still working so we are able to send support to help our national partners buy food and other necessities needed to get through these dark days.

We also remember the family of one of our global workers who is from Ukraine. We pray that God will protect her family during this time of war.

1. We pray for all those friends in Ukraine who have people in Canada who love and are very concerned about them.We know that many of our pastors and churches in Canada have direct relationships with the church in Ukraine.

2. Russian forces are advancing from Crimea in the south and threatening cities where we have partner churches that also house satellite campuses and extension students. Again, pastors are concerned but not afraid and are staying with their people at this time.

3. The faculty and staff of our primary educational partner are also all safe with their families in their homes. They have offered housing for students and their families displaced by the heaviest fighting in East Ukraine.

4. Praise God our precious ChildCARE Plus sponsored children in are also all safe and sound at the moment. There was bombing of some military installations outside of town but the city itself has so far been spared from attack.

5. Another pastor and his church planting team are also all safe although they are experiencing heavy fighting. That pastor and his team are also determined to stay with the churches now—during their darkest hour. They are obviously concerned but not afraid.

6. One pastor and his church planting team are still alive but in an area of heavy fighting.
   On Wednesday they were able to evacuate their wives and children to a safe city where they have family. They have vowed to remain to continue ministering to their flocks during this terrible time.

Prayer Points

1. For divine protection of Ukraine—especially of our national partners and families and our precious ERDO ChildCARE Plus children.

2. There are young men from our churches in Ukraine and Russia. Pray for a peaceful solution to the crisis and an immediate end to hostilities. fighting on both sides of this conflict.

3. That our pastors and churches would continue to be shining examples of the love and compassion of Christ, not only to their own people but to all the people of their communities.

4. That somehow God would use this terrible situation for His glory and for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

5. That lines of communication and supply remain open so we can continue to be in touch with our national partners in Ukraine and continue to send them much-needed help on the ground.

6. Let us also pray for Russia. The church in Russia is strong and will also need our prayers. Let us remember the Bantseevs and the Pankovs and our many church partners in the country.

Scriptures

1 Samuel 17:4-10,23

4 Then Goliath, a Philistine champion from Gath, came out of the Philistine ranks to face the forces of Israel. He was over nine feet tall! 5 He wore a bronze helmet, and his bronze coat of mail weighed 125 pounds. 6 He also wore bronze leg armor, and he carried a bronze javelin on his shoulder. 7 The shaft of his spear was as heavy and thick as a weaver’s beam, tipped with an iron spearhead that weighed 15 pounds. His armor bearer walked ahead of him carrying a shield.

8 Goliath stood and shouted a taunt across to the Israelites. “Why are you all coming out to fight?” he called. “I am the Philistine champion, but you are only the servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down here and fight me! 9 If he kills me, then we will be your slaves. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves! 10 I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!”
23 As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, came out from the Philistine ranks. Then David heard him shout his usual taunt to the army of Israel.

Exodus 14:24-25
24 But just before dawn the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw their forces into total confusion. 25 He twisted their chariot wheels, making their chariots difficult to drive. “Let’s get out of here—away from these Israelites!” the Egyptians shouted. “The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!”

Psalm 11:6
He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked,
    punishing them with scorching winds.

Psalm 46:9
He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
    He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.

Psalm 65:5
You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds,
    O God our savior.
You are the hope of everyone on earth,
    even those who sail on distant seas.

Psalm 121
1 I look up to the mountains—
    does my help come from there?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth!

3 He will not let you stumble;
    the one who watches over you will not slumber.
4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel
    never slumbers or sleeps.

5 The Lord himself watches over you!
    The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
6 The sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon at night.

7 The Lord keeps you from all harm
    and watches over your life.
8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
    both now and forever.

Prayer Declaration

Ah, Lord God! You have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and out-stretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you our Lord, our Father. Indeed, he who watches over Israel, never sleeps or slumbers. Father, we decree and declare that the advancement of the aggressors of Ukraine will be stalled in Jesus’ name. Hide the people of Ukraine and the vulnerable in the world under your wings. Rain down your blazing sulphur and burning coal on the agenda of the wicked. Father, like Pharaoh, break the bow and spear of all tyrants in our world today. Lord, crush and uproot the spirit of Goliath that the devil has unleashed upon the earth. So shall it be.

Day of Fasting & Prayer - Feb 2022

WHEN I AM ATTACKED BY THE ENEMY

Isaiah 54:17
"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me," says the LORD.

Lord, I praise you as my Deliverer and thank you that you will deliver me from my enemies. I know that "we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, bur against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12).

You will lift me up above those who rise against me and deliver me from the violent forces that oppose me. "Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face" (Psalm 5:8).

I give thanks to you, Lord, and sing praises to your name (Psalm 18:49). Thank you that you always lead us in triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2:14). 

Ephesians 6:10-11
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Lord, I worship you as Lord over everything. I praise you as my all-powerful King. You, Lord, you are "a shield to all who trust" in you (Psalm 18:28-30). You deliver me from the enemy who is too strong for me (Psalm 18:17).

I will "not be afraid nor dismayed" because of the force of evil that comes against me, for I know that the battle is not mine but yours. I know that I will not need to fight this battle alone.

Instead, I will position myself in a stance of praise and worship toward you, and I will stand still and see your salvation, for you are with me (2 Chronicles 20:15-17).

WHEN I SENSE THAT ALL IS WELL

Morning

Colossians 2:6-7
As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Lord, I want to show my love for you every day by embracing you with my worship and touching you with my praise. Teach me all. I need to know about how to worship you in ways that are pleasing in your sight.

Fill my heart with such great knowledge of you that praising you becomes a way of life. Teach me to make praise my first reaction to every situation, no matter what the situation is.

All honor, glory, and majesty belong to you, Lord, for you are worthy to be praised. You are holy and righteous, and I have no greater joy in life than entering into your presence to exalt you with worship and praise every day. 

Evening

Psalm 128:1-2
Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

Lord, I worship you for all that you are. You are my Lord in the good times as well as the difficult. On the mountaintop as well as in the valley. I praise you in times of great blessing as well as in times of great challenge. It is because of you that I can stand strong, even when I feel weak. For I know that when I am weakest, you show yourself strong.

I am grateful for your salvation, deliverance, protection, goodness, and blessings in my life every day. I know that everything I have comes from you. Because of your great strength I go from glory to glory and "strength to strength" no matter what is happening in my life (Psalm 84:7).

Thank you for revealing to me the way in which I should go regarding every decision I make. I praise you for your wisdom and knowledge and revelation.

Thank you for helping me to stand perfect and complete in the center of your will (Colossians 4:12). Give me the endurance I need, so that after I have done your will, I will receive the promise (Hebrews 10:36).
