Unto Us the Cross is the Power of God
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God” (I Corinthians 1:18).
The act of Calvary represents history’s most powerful demonstration of love by Jesus Christ. All because it exploded an unparalleled power against evil and a superior love for humanity never seen before. All hope, miracles, strength and sustaining love flows from the finished works of Calvary by Jesus Christ. Every act He performed through Calvary was for redemptive, reconciliatory and relationship purposes (Hebrew 4:15).
1. His trial and court case with the Sanhedrin (Isaiah 53:3-4):
- Was for Power to be released to help us when we experience the slander.
- Was for Power released to help us when we experience character assassinations.
2. His scourging and beatings (Isaiah 53:5):
- Was for Power to be released for our physical sufferings we would experience.
- Was for Power released to give us our physical healings.
3. The crown of thorns (Philippians 2:5):
- Was for Power released for our mental and emotional healings.
- Was for Power to be released for strength and endurance for the mind.
4. The nail piercings on His hands (John 20:27):
- Was for Power to be released to help us with service ministry and loving others relationally.
5. The nailed piercings on His feet (Romans 10:15):
- Was for Power released for our jobs and ministries.
- Was for carrying the Gospel.
6. The piercing on His side (Ephesians 5:30):
- Was for Power released to be His Bride.
- Was for Power to learn how to receive His kind of superior love for us personally.
7. The robe Jesus wore (Isaiah 61:10):
- Was for Power to walk in our identity.
- Was for Power to walk in holiness living.
Calvary is FINAL! It is our total source for power and passion when engaging in spiritual warfare and intimacy with Jesus Christ. Let’s pray and implement in faith these areas into the natural, based on Calvary’s finished work (Colossians 2:14-15).

EASTER
Salvation Of Souls (S.O.S.)
“Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy” (Psalm 109:26).
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25).
HELP! Or alternatively, S.O.S., is an internationally recognized distress signal in radio code, used especially by ships at sea. S.O.S. also is generally defined as an urgent appeal for help. In this case, S.O.S. metaphorically may represent “Salvation Of Souls.” The beckoning cries of souls are echoing from the multitudes who are drowning in the sea of life and need to be recused by the Ship of Zion through Jesus Christ!
Easter (Resurrection Sunday) will be commemorated on April 17, 2022, and although the foundational beliefs, historical perspectives, and practical customs of this prominent event vary across the world, most Christians celebrate this holiday in observance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus died on Calvary for a lost world as He shed His blood on the cross for all humanity. Remember, Jesus rose from the dead, and “He came to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).
PRAY:
- for those attending the services on Easter, including visitors, lukewarm saints, and prodigals. Pray they will yield to the Spirit of God. Pray that they will commit fully to the Lord and receive salvation, restoration, renewal, and/or deliverance, accordingly.
- for all lost souls and prodigals everywhere! Pray for souls in your family and those right in the streets of your city who we often pass by on a regular basis. Pray for God's mercy and grace to rest upon them according to His will, as He reaches out to them through us.
- for the saints to draw closer to God as everyone remembers and reflects upon the great sacrifice of our precious Lord and Saviour. Pray Spirit-led prayers and for the Spirit of God to minister to the needs of those in the Easter services. Pray for His will to be done.
- for God to powerfully anoint His messenger (minister) as the Word of God comes forth. Intercede that God would mend broken hearts and grant spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical healing to those present. Pray God will perform miracles, signs, and wonders.
- for great Church growth among us! Pray for great revival and for a great harvest of souls in every church! Pray that lost souls will respond to God’s call. Intercede and believe God for the salvation of lost souls, who are destined for eternity!
“And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen...” (Mark 16:6).

The World Network of Prayer Presents
24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer
As of January 1, 2022, WNOP launched an annual 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide in coordination with our existing “Year of Prayer.” Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also weekly, a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer. We encourage your participation by joining in prayer.
Will you commit and join with others throughout the world in united prayer and fasting? Sign up by committing in your heart unto God that you will consistently set aside a day each week to do some prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering over the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”

POA 90 Day Prayer
For Prodigals and Those Who Love Them
NEVER has there been a greater time in prophecy as now for seeing our prayers answered. DON’T give up or be weary in well doing. WE WILL REAP IF WE FAINT NOT!
“And the Gentiles that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it” (Ezekiel 36:36, JUB)
Ezekiel 37:12 speaks of them coming out of their cold and dead situations and bringing them back home.
“Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, O my people, I open your graves and will cause you to come up out of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel” (Ezekiel 37:12, JUB).
We are speaking and calling, “COME TO LIFE,” dry bones. Come back to where you first met Jesus! Come home to the kingdom where you belong. You were never meant for Satan’s kingdom. There is only one kingdom for you. Come home! Come home! We will welcome you with the love of Jesus!
HOPE Prayer will begin again on April 1 to pray the book, Prayers For Prodigals...90 Days of Prayers For Your Prodigals by Dr. James Banks. This book is filled with scriptures from the Word of God. We will conclude on June 29.
We’re very excited and in great anticipation. Our beloved prodigals know the signs! They know the scriptures. We can be sure they are watching everything. God has spoken that His Spirit will draw them as we unite in love and prayer. The love and Spirit of God are promised and exampled through the Holy Scriptures. We know them to be faithful and true.
WE ARE ONE. Let us unite to pray, believe, and celebrate together as God answers our prayers!
As in the past, we will post daily posts on Face Book and Instagram @ HOPE2HOPE15 and Don Long and Donald Long. Contact number: 318 442 5541. Please leave a message.
We are available to speak or help launch a Hope Prayer Ministry.
Thank you!
Believing for the harvest!
