2020 National Day of Prayer
The 2020 National Day of Prayer
will be commemorated on Thursday, May 7, 2020 with the scriptural theme Pray God's Glory Across The Earth! The theme comes from the words in Habakkuk 2:14. Log onto the NDOP website at
https://www.nationaldayofprayer.org/
for more info. Let's plan to participate in this very important day on our calendar and unify in prevailing prayer. Amid world crisis and uncertainty, during each arduous season in history, humanity has reached for prayer; and more than ever, it is essential we pray for America and the nations of our world!
The National Day of Prayer
is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988, the law was unanimously amended by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on Thursday, May 5, 1988, designating the first Thursday of May as a day of national prayer. Every president since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation.
Prayer has played a key role in American heritage historically, as many of our nation's forefathers and leaders have turned to prayer for strength, inspiration, and solidarity. The government establishes and implements policies that have far-reaching consequences. Intercede that God would grant guidance and wisdom to those who serve in authority. We have a Biblical mandate to pray for our leaders. Pray that our leaders will seek God and serve Him in a manner that is worthy of their positions of influence.
Pray for all spiritual and political leaders across North America. Petition that God's will be done. Pray "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," for the masses in America. Cry out to God for national repentance and for a great spiritual awakening, revival, and harvest to sweep across America! Above all, fervently pray God's glory across the earth!

The 69th
National Day of Prayer
The 69th
National Day of Prayer
is fast approaching, and will be commemorated on
Thursday, May 7, 2020,
with the scriptural theme
"Pray God's Glory Across the Earth."
The Bible instructs us to pray for our national leaders (I Timothy 2:1-2). Please join in fervent prayer with us and ask God to intervene. Let's cry out in prayer to God who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and people.
PRAY:
- Pray for our president and all governmental officials of America and other nations. Pray for the upcoming presidential elections and for all other governmental elections. Intercede that the candidates of God's choice will be voted in to fill specific offices.
- Supplicate for our present administration/current leaders from every rank, government officials on the national, state, and city levels. Supplicate for the seven centers of power: government, church, education, media, family, business, and military.
- Intercede that our leaders would allow God to guide them to lead America. Pray that in the midst of economic crisis and uncertainty that God's wisdom and power would flow through them and that it would be displayed in their speech and their actions.
- Petition for our federal judiciary leaders who value constitutional rights and religious liberties. Intercede that efforts and proposed legislation would not prosper that seek to remove the acknowledgement of God in our nation.
- Cry out to God, asking Him to pour out His Spirit upon our national leaders, and that their hearts and ears would be attentive to godly counsel. Intercede that they be just, and lead in the fear of God and surround themselves with good staff members and advisers.
- Believe for a great awakening to sweep across America and nations worldwide. Pray for great revival and that God "pour out His Spirit upon all flesh," as His glory is revealed!
- Render prayer for all spiritual leaders and churches. Pray each practice godly principles; and have specific needs met, according to God's will. Pray that God will help all leaders to fulfill His divine call in their lives with great success!
- Pray fervently God's glory across the earth!

Spring 90 Day Prayer Journey
It is almost time again for our Spring 90 Day Prayer Journey for our beloved prodigals.
As in the past, we will begin on Wednesday, April 1. Our theme this year is 'Welcome Home.'
We pray and fast for our prodigals to return, but have we thought about the personal responsibility and commitment of loving them home and then loving them to complete restoration?
Loving prodigals requires a cost; a complete trust in Our Heavenly Father and submitting fully to the process within us and them.
As the rooster crowed the second time on that early morning in Jerusalem, the Apostle Peter realized what he had done.
He had failed Jesus.
We can only imagine how he must have felt.
Jesus knew.
He didn't send a word of reprimand, or "Remember what I said you would do," or "I told you so." He didn't put him through steps of earning back his place with the eleven.
Peter didn't need to be told how wrong he was.
He already knew, just as our beloved prodigals know.
Jesus simply had the young man dressed in white by the tomb that day to include Peter by name when he announced the instructions to the women where they could go to find Jesus.
That was His 'Welcome Home' sign.
He could return and he would be safe.
Just come home.
Your welcome is waiting.
He even trusted him with the message of The Gospel on The Day of Pentecost.
Having the heart of Jesus with our prodigals takes time in His presence and The Word.
It takes much intentional preparation and commitment.
It takes spiritual warfare and rest; rest in our minds and bodies.
It takes persistent childlike faith and trust.
We love them when they do not deserve to be loved just as Jesus loved us and sacrificed His all for us when we were yet in sin and unlovable.
The heart of Jesus says you may not feel you deserve to be loved but, "I want you home.
You are welcome.
I am here until you are healed and whole.
I won't preach to you.
I won't quote or send scriptures in text.
I won't re-preach sermons.
I won't look for opportune times to manipulate your thoughts.
I won't judge or condemn you when you fall.
I won't try to change you.
I'll trust Jesus to do that.
I'm just going to love you.
His Spirit within you will lead and guide you.
We can trust that process.
You and He will do this together.
With healthy boundaries understood by both of us, I commit to love you until..."
As we approach the eleventh 90 Days of Prayers For Our Prodigals Prayer Journey, let us think and pray about The Father in Luke 15.
His heart had been in preparation while waiting for his wayward son.
We don't know how long the son was gone.
We just know that 'gone' can mean anything.
Praying and preparing in trust takes intentional focus; not on just the son but also on The Father. When the son returned, the Father's heart received (Greek: dechomai...warmly receptive, welcoming) him. He had no fear of the days ahead or the restoration process. His heart was perfectly aligned and prepared.
Lord, prepare our hearts as we pray for Your covenant children's return to You. There has been no greater or more important time on God's timeline up to this time for bringing home Your Covenant Sons and Daughters!
Let us be mindful of the work You desire first in us. Help us to align our 'Welcome Home' with Yours. In Jesus Name, amen.
With a deep longing for the harvest,
Don and Dy Anne Long

We've been praying, we've been sowing.
Now we're crying, heaven send the rain.
We're hungry, we're thirsty for YOU. We want YOU.
We're patiently waiting for YOU.
We need YOU.
Song by William McDowell
What an exciting time for Apostolics, Christians, believers of God!
I
f you're afraid, read God's promises again.
Read the prophecies of His Holy Word.
Re
m
ember
how God took care of His people.
This is a time to pray, be wise, obey, and walk ci
rcumspectly.
The Godly men and people of the Bible went through trials.
They submitted to the ruler over them.
God brought them through and He b
rought them OUT!
He'll do it again!

Prayer Requests for Prodigals

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure:" Isaiah 46:9,10 (KJV)

It is imperative that we pray for evangelists. We will focus on praying for evangelists each week. The
Evangelist Ministry recognizes and promotes the Biblical role of evangelist as stated in Ephesians 4:11-12, "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." The Evangelist Ministry is dedicated to preaching the gospel and effectively ministering by partnering with pastors worldwide to gather vision, faith, and harvest, saving the lost, and edifying the church. Pastors can confidently book a licensed, enrolled evangelist that will bless their church. Doug Klinedinst is the ministry coordinator. This week let's pray for all evangelists!

The mission of the Occupational Chaplains Association (OCA) is to equip and credential United Pentecostal chaplains to present the Gospel in a compelling fashion to occupational and communal America.
The vision of the OCA is to equip and ecclesiastically endorse United Pentecostal chaplains to reach beyond the closed doors and separating barriers of Corporate America. We are professional caregivers coming along side of today's workforce and their families to be the bridge of spiritual and emotional help to those caught in the machinery of life. We assist employers to retain workers and defusing workplace violence by presenting the Gospel through a ministry of presence. William Dillon is the Director of OCA. Click on the link, and let's pray for all of the following Chaplains listed this week!
|
- Pray for God to draw souls and add to the body as He gives us wisdom to speak His truth so that souls can be saved. Ask Him to draw the souls to us so that we can speak to them according to His will.
- Continue to pray for America and our world as COVID-19 has now infected over 3 million people worldwide, and approximately 1 million are in America. There are over 67,000 deaths in America to date. Additionally, disease experts indicate that a second wave is all but inevitable, meaning the U.S. could be in for a bad fall and winter, and if it occurs with flu season the effects could be much worse. This is of utmost concern since almost half of the states will begin re-opening and lifting social distancing regulations.
- Pray for the country of Lebanon, as there are violent protests due to increased hunger and poverty in the wake of the pandemic.
- Pray for children who have complications with COVID-19 as a rare inflammatory condition called Kawasaki disease, has been discovered. The disease causes inflammation in the arteries and can limit blood flow to the heart. it is normally treatable, but also can be deadly. Cases have been observed in the U.S., U.K., Spain and Italy.
- Pray for the eyes of all people to be opened when it comes to the promotion of the new Coronavirus "Contact Tracing" app, and for the new drug which is said to be a possible treatment called "Remdesivir" which could begin trials in the U.S. by next week and be ready for use in the fall. Tech companies and healthcare networks are experimenting with ways to implement the "Contact tracing" app.
- Pray for the economy, due to the negative effects of the Coronavirus. The U.S. might have its worst year since 2008 and the highest unemployment since the great depression.
