Abide Under the Shadow of the Almighty
"Prayer to be Overshadowed"
To “overshadow” means to envelop in a haze of brilliancy; to invest with preternatural influence; to cast a shade upon. It is what happened to Mary that enabled her to give miraculous birth to the Savior of the world. Psalm 91 declares that “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Highest shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” “Dwelleth” is to sit down in quiet; to tarry; to make it the place that you live.
There are no promises of God connected with a fragmented inconsistent prayer life, but there are GREAT promises and rewards for those who will tarry in that secret place with God Almighty daily, allowing Him to envelop them in His brilliancy, to infuse them with power from on High and to cast a shade over them that will be felt by others.
Lord Jesus, We Pray:
- Psalm 91:1 – Let us not just run hastily in and out of Your presence, but help us to make Your presence the place we dwell throughout the day.
- Acts 5:15 – Through tarrying in that secret place of prayer may we become so infused with Your Spirit, that wherever we walk others will be affected by Your abiding presence.
- Galatians 5:16 – Overshadow us so that our carnality is swallowed up in holiness, righteousness, and godliness.
- Psalm 16:11 – Overshadow us until we are full of joy and find pleasure in serving You.
- John 3:30 – Overshadow us until those around us no longer see us, but they see You, Jesus.
- Acts 1:8 – Overshadow us so the miraculous can flow through us and Your work can be accomplished through Your chosen people.

Praying for Europe and the Middle East
When the Apostle Paul brought the Gospel to Europe, he brought light to spiritual darkness. While much has been accomplished, there is still work to be done, and intercession to be made on behalf of the 44 countries in Europe. According to UPCI Global Missions, there are currently 691 missionaries on the field worldwide, with 232 nations having a UPCI work and 13 nations that do not have a UPCI presence. There is a great need for God’s people to intercede, and for the Holy Ghost to send His Word, and enable our missionaries to take authority over spiritual wickedness. The Apostle Paul took the opportunity to address leaders in government(s).
Scripture commands us to pray first for those in authority because leadership, whether good or bad, affects the rest of society. We see this when king David reigned, as opposed to Ahab. Catholicism is said to be the most prevalent religion in Europe, followed by Islam, according to Wikipedia.org. And while our organization has been successful in planting works and churches, there are many souls still bound by godless mindsets, error, and spiritual darkness. To pray effectively, we must know the specific concerns of the people that live in these regions.
A professor, who spends an average of two months a year in Europe, said one of the biggest concerns is refugees. She said that boatloads of people attempt to enter Europe from other countries, and often need to be rescued before making shore. The coast guard cannot keep up with the influx of refugees, and it is not uncommon to see bodies wash ashore. According to a survey taken by the Business Insider, the top ten concerns among Europeans from the least to the greatest are environment, climate change, EU world influence, crime, unemployment, the state of public finances, the economy, immigration, and terrorism, with terrorism being the greatest concern. All of these concerns, including terrorism, can be used by God to save souls.
Pray:
- for government, i.e., all Prime Ministers to realize the need for godly counsel, and desire righteousness.
- to bind the spirit(s) of the antichrist and lawlessness at work in the government and mainstream media, and loose humility and the fear of God upon the masses.
- for the Queen of England to use her influence to turn her subjects towards God.
- that God would reveal the error of Catholicism and Islam to the multitudes.
- to bind the spirits of religion, humanism (pride, arrogance, witchcraft, and rebellion).
- for God to use the financial distress of Europe to fulfill His will for the end-time.
- for eyes to be opened to the cause of climate change, heed the warning, and see the need for God.
- that fear of terrorism will cause a turning towards God, and that crisis will be used for good.
- for laborers, at home and abroad, after God’s heart, so He can pour out His Spirit as promised.
- for missionaries’ needs, spiritual, emotional, financial, and their children.
- for the people of God worldwide to have a giving spirit regarding missions.

- Pray for Austin-East Magnet High School in Knoxville, Tennessee where a shooting occurred, a student was killed and an officer injured. Ask the Lord to heal the hearts of students, staff, teachers, the officer who was injured, and family members of all who were present or related to the incident.
- Pray for the Lord to bring revival during this season of political, social, and financial trial throughout our world.
- Pray for the family members of the eight people who died and those who were injured after a shooting at an Indianapolis FedEx facility.
- Pray for St. Vincent as fears rise after Covid-19 cases increase after a volcano eruption.
- Continue to pray for wisdom and direction to bring the Church and the harvest through the Covid-19 season with all variants.
- Continue to pray for the peace of Israel and the return of their land.

POA HOPE Prayer
Spring ’21 90 Day Prayer Journey
We are all familiar with the Good Samaritan parable in the Bible. There are similarities between the character of the Good Samaritan and the Father in the story of the Prodigal Son. Both depict the love of Jesus.
In the story of the Good Samaritan, we would have expected a Jew, a Priest, or the Levite to be the one who would have been the hero, not the Samaritan. However, perhaps we can go back to II Chronicles 28 where the prophet Oded convinced the Samaritans who were the outcasts, to assist their Judean captives to show compassion.
In the story of the Prodigal Son, the Father showed great love toward his son. His son did not deserve the beautiful mercy bestowed upon him. Compassion won.
Prayer wins. Compassion wins. Love wins...every time.
As we enter into our thirteenth 90 Day Prayer Journey for our beloved prodigals and we who love them, we pray for hearts of love and compassion toward them. We pray for the heart of the compassionate Samaritan and the heart of the loving Father. When we pray with brokenness, not with anger, condemnation, judging, we will then minister in love with our actions.
Seeds of compassionate prayer reap mighty blessings. Faith rises. HOPE awakens. Love flows. We receive answers to prayers we’ve been praying for months or even years.
We invite you, your churches, youth groups, small cell groups, families, couples, and singles to unite with HOPE Prayer, a ministry of The Pentecostals of Alexandria, for those with prodigals to pray for our beloved prodigals. This will be our 13th prayer journey praying the book by Dr. James Banks, 90 Days of Prayers for your child. God has performed miracles in the past. He will do it again.
