The Blessing of Asher

Just before Joshua led the nation of Israel across the Jordan, Moses blessed the twelve tribes. Though he began his blessing by blessing the oldest son Reuben first, he did not continue that pattern and bless the youngest son Benjamin last. Instead, he blessed Asher last. The prophetic significance of this action reveals God's plan for the last days. He saved the best blessing for last. He saved the best for us! 
 
The blessing of Asher is divided into five parts. Each part should be prayed and claimed. 
 
1. The blessing of harvest. "Let Asher be blessed with children." (Deuteronomy 33:24) Asher's birth represented the end of barrenness. 

Pray for a worldwide outpouring of the Holy Spirit and revelation of the name of Jesus! Confess that barrenness is broken. Declare that it is time for evangelism. Pray for an abundant harvest! 
 
2. The blessing of favor. "Let him be acceptable to his brethren." Accompanying the blessing is harvest and unity. The harvest should make us celebrate. The more we celebrate the harvest, the more harvest God can give us. We need favor among men for the Kingdom to grow. 
 
Pray that God will release favor to us. Favor in the midst of our brethren. Favor in our community. Favor on every level of Government. 
 
3. The blessing of finance. "Let him dip his foot in oil."  (Deuteronomy 33:24) Provision follows vision. God always funds His will. Dipping the foot in oil denotes abundance - more than enough. 
 
Pray that God will release your family, church and organization from the bondage of debt. Pray for financial increase in spite of the recession. Pray for more than enough. It is time to possess the land! 
 
4. The blessing of dominion. "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass..."  (Deuteronomy 33:25) Brass shoes denote power and authority over the enemy. It implies security. 
 
Confess that God has given you the dominion over the power of darkness in your region. Declare that the enemy is under your feet. Expect to overcome. Anticipate victory! 
 
5. The blessing of ever increasing strength. "...as thy days, so shall thy strength be."  (Deuteronomy 33:25) This last phrase reverses natural law. Instead of getting weaker as you age, God says you will get stronger. There is both a physical and spiritual application for this. 
 
As an individual, confess that God is giving you increased strength and health to do His will every day. Corporately, pray that your church will get stronger every day. Pray that the church around the world will experience increase in every way every day. 

These prayers are meant to be starting points. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you as you apply these promises from God's Word to your life.

Prayers for Missionary Kids

Missionary Kids (MKs) come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and have one thing in common; they have parents who are currently serving or have served in Global Missions. They have a unique sub-culture who feel that they are most comfortable when one foot is on North American soil and one foot is on the country of their calling. We believe that God calls families into missions, not just the parents. We also feel that MKs are not just children of missionaries, but children missionaries. We have hundreds of MKs in the age range from infants to the elderly. Missionary Kids need our daily prayers! Their needs are vast and the list is lengthy, but this is a great starting point to pray over our missionaries and Missionary Kids!
 
1.     Pray for families who feel the call to missions but are fearful to commit due to the changes it would cause in their families. (John 15:16)
  • Pray for boldness for these families.
  • Pray for financial provision for them.
  • Pray that God would take away all fear.
  • Pray for those that are currently appointed under AIM in Global Missions will take the next step to be fully appointed.
 
2.     Pray for the Missionary Kids who are serving on the field, that they would be protected daily.
(I Samuel 2:9)
  • Pray for those MKs who are in countries of political unrest.
  • Pray for MKs who are in countries where Christianity is not welcomed.
  • Pray for physical protection, peace, and emotional strength. Pray for unity in the churches in their nations.
  • Pray for Missionary Kids who will be in transition this year. Some MKs that will graduate and some will return to North America for college. (Psalm 46:1-3)
  • Pray for God to show MKs His direction in their lives.
  • Pray that God would surround them with a church that is sensitive to their specific needs and will be a second family to them.
  • Pray that God will provide a vehicle, a job, and wisdom to handle daily activities while going through a time of change in their life.
  • Pray that God will give their parents peace as they stay on the field while their MKs go to college.
  • Pray for the line of communication to stay strong between the MKs and missionaries during this time of change and decision-making.
 
3.     Pray for Missionary Kids to be used of God in their nation. (Jeremiah 1:5)
  • Pray that God will show MKs how they can use their talents to help in the local churches.
  • Pray against fear, depression, and the tendency to withdraw into themselves during the transition to the field.
  • Pray that they will have a burden for their nation–that the Lord gives them an equal love for the people they work with.
  • Pray that God would give them creative ideas to help in the work, and also strengthen their daily devotional life and relationship with the Lord.
 
4.     Pray for Missionary Kids who have backslid. God is a God of Restoration! Our team consistently fasts and prays for MKs who are backsliddden, and we have seen several return to the Lord! (Psalm 145:18-19)
  • Pray that the Lord would restore all MKs. Pray that He would place a hunger in their hearts for the relationship they once had. 
  • Pray for the Lord to open up communication between them and their parents.
  • Pray that God would send friends into their lives who will be a positive influence for Him.
  • Pray against hurts and bitterness of the past, and that there would be a spirit of forgiveness and a freedom in God.

World Needs:

  • Pray for the peace of Israel, and for the return of their land, and for the protection of Israelis throughout our world as police in New York are stepping up its presence in Brooklyn as a result of hate-related incidents recently flared over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a man attempted to set a synagogue and Jewish school on fire.
  • Pray for the Lord to address Europe policing as police forces across the European Union are disproportionately stopping and searching members of various ethnic, religious, and other minority groups.
  • Pray for family members and friends of all who died during the San Jose, California shooting where nine people died after a gunman opened fire at the Valley Transportation Authority light rail yard.
  • Pray for Australia as vast tracts of land are being threatened by a mouse plague as the state government describes as “absolutely unprecedented."
  • Continue to pray for the Lord to bring an end to the Covid-19 season, protect His Bride, and give direction to His people so that they align with His Kingdom purpose, so that His will be done. Also, ask the Lord to give understanding about the origins of Covid-19 and the truth about how it was released into our world, and to grant a greater revelation about the virus itself. Pray also for Japan who is now considering to extend a state of emergency across much of the country, especially with the Tokyo Olympics that is scheduled to start in two months.

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.
