Join us in praying for the following world needs this week: |
|
As the disciples walked with Jesus, they daily heard His teaching and saw the miracles He did for the people. They saw blind eyes opened, the crippled made to walk and even the dead raised to life again. And yet, their request to Him was, "Lord, teach us to pray." In response, Jesus taught them that true prayer is not only asking, but it is also about binding and loosing, or warfare and bringing down the strongholds of hell. He taught them that some things may appear impossible, but there is a faith that can explode the impossible. And mighty prevailing prayer is the weapon that opens the door to the power that overcomes the world of darkness. And that world will yield ground to the child of God who gets desperate enough to pray in the spirit until hell's gates are moved.
A desperate pray-er doesn't care who hears him/her pray; he/she cares only about one thing and that is his great need of touching God.
Several years ago while my late husband and I were pastoring, some of our ladies were at our church seeking God earnestly when we heard in the distance a woman screaming. Alarmed, we ran outside and saw a woman running toward us with a small child in her arms. She fell to the ground at my feet crying and screaming, "my baby is dead...he had a seizure and stopped breathing...he hasn't breathed for several minutes now. Please pray!" The child was unresponsive, but as we laid our hands on him and called on the name of Jesus, he began to gasp for breath and started crying. God completely healed that child. He is still a mighty, merciful God who hears and answers when His people earnestly seek Him.
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16b}

THE FLAG AND THE STANDARD
The flag of a country represents their standard. It provokes emotion and passion when you see it. Nothing evokes emotion like a flag does. The flag reminds us of our identity. Its colors are very important as well. Song of Solomon 2:4, Exodus 17:15, and Isaiah 59:19 all refer to the Lord as our Yahweh, our Banner (Flag/Standard).
When an enemy's flag was captured it meant great victory for their military. The cross is our flag/standard. A flag of a country exemplifies the devotion of a leader who continues to uphold his/her country's promises. It reminds us of what our forefathers did for us. It reminds us of our power and purpose as a people.
The serpent is Satan's flag, or standard, for sin brought into the world through the Garden of Eden. Satan's flag, or standard, was captured by Jesus at Calvary and wrapped around just like the pole of Moses in Numbers 21:5.
Our Apostolic flag color is red, the blood of Jesus. The cross is our standard and flag as a reminder that it is our military symbol of triumph against familiar spirits, generational curses, and physical strongholds that try to mock us every day. It should invoke passion and emotion. It reminds us of God's greatness. Now we are free to love as God's fortunate children. It reminds us of our power and purpose as His people.
As long as the men held up Moses' arm on the top of the hill, they had victory (Exodus 17:15). As long as we hold up the cross (standard) when the enemy comes in, like a flood, we too have a position of victory.
The Cross is our standard/flag reminding us of the military victory in Jesus and we have:
- the unshakable bridal covenant with Jesus Christ
- the superior suffering love of Jesus Christ
- the healing transformative power Calvary gives us
- the violent and final defeat of sin and death
Pray an Apostolic Pledge of Allegiance:
I pledge allegiance to the cross of the United Kingdom of Jesus; And to the covenant for which the Bride stands, one Lord and one baptism, in Jesus' name, with liberty by His blood, for all.

The Pentecostals Of Alexandria (POA) invites you to unite with POA’s HOPE Prayer Ministry on October 1 - December 29 for our twelfth 90 Day Prayer Journey. Join our family of warriors from around the world as we pray for parents, family, friends of prodigals, and our beloved prodigals. The Word of God promises they will return. Mark 11:24 states, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” We BELIEVE!
Our plan is to have a daily prayer call available at 8 AM - 9 AM, Monday - Friday, with Intercessors from around the country. We appreciate Partners In Prayer Ministries, led by Rev. Billie Jean Bishop, assisted by Chaplain Michelle Boudreaux for partnering with HOPE Prayer to make this happen. The access number is 563 999 2833.
Please connect with us on Facebook and Instagram @HOPE2Hope15. For more information about HOPE Prayer, connect with us @ poa.church. Click on MINISTRIES, next click on RESTORATION MINISTRIES, and scroll down to H.O.P.E. Ministry.
We will be fasting days 1, 45, and 90 in unity. If you have health issues, please be wise and do only what you can. We encourage fasting throughout the 90 days on your own, as well.
This is a call to ALL to fast and pray. Pray for yours. Pray for all.
It is the intended mindset of this ministry to pray for parents of prodigals, family of prodigals, and children of prodigals, as well as ALL prodigals. The battles we fight are real but greater is our God! This is the time. This is the season.
Praying and believing for the harvest,
