Prayer Connect: "A CALL TO PRAYER"

FOR CONTINUAL EMPHASIS ON THE “CALL TO PRAYER,” INCLUDING CORPORATE PRAYER & FASTING, AND GENERAL CONFERENCE 2021, REOCCURRING FOCUSES FOR THE ARTICLE AND THE ECHOGRAM ARE FEATURED IN THIS WEEK’S PRAYER CONNECT.

A CALL TO PRAYER

I urge every minister and church to participate in focused prayer for the 2021 General Conference. Let’s seek the will of God for our business meeting, and let’s ask for a special anointing upon our seminars and services. We need to hear from God, and we need a mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost.

World Network of Prayer has designated a special day of prayer for Wednesday, September 29 (UPCI Day of Prayer), and special fasting has been designated for Tuesday, September 28 through Thursday, September 30. Please participate in this three-day fast in whatever way you are led. Your fervent prayers and sacrificial fast will make a difference. Let's go BEYOND the ordinary to the extraordinary for the glory of God!

Sincerely in Christ,

David K. Bernard

World Needs:

Pray for Spain’s La Palma Island, as it has been shaken by earthquakes while lava flows. Ash, toxic gases, and acid rain are expected to occur following a number of small tremors. The town of 85,000 evacuated 1,000 people from Todoque. The eruption has destroyed hundreds of buildings as it moves toward the Atlantic Ocean.
Pray for Lord to bless the church, American, and world economy.
Pray for the Lord to raise up a standard against evil in our world and in America, and to allow the Church to advance for His Kingdom to come and His Will to be done!
Pray for the Lord to bring the murder of Gabby Petito to justice, and for Him to address gun violence, and all manner of death that is advancing against the harvest field.
Pray for Jesus to help, heal and save the Haitian people and deliver them from evil as thousands of migrants have gathered under the Del Rio International Bridge in Texas. There are more than 14,300 migrants, of which approximately 400 are Haitian.
Pray for the Lord to address the skyrocketing of Covid-19 cases, as cases are forcing hospitals to ration care. Approximately 80% of ICU beds within the US are occupied by 30% of Covid-19 patients. Also, pray for the children as Pfizer and BioNTech believe they now have a vaccine for children ages 5-11 and they will be seeking FDA ap,proval and CDC guidance. It is believed that 675,000 people have now died of Covid-19 which is indicated as more than the US death toll from the 1918 flu pandemic. The US is back at the state where more than 2,000 people are dying of Covid-19 daily.

Fall ’21 "90 Day Prayer Journey"

It’s that wonderful time of year!

Rosh Hashanah, on the historical Jewish calendar, brought the beginning of the year 5782. Celebrating those special days with God’s chosen people only added to the feelings of expectancy and urgency many are feeling.

Fall; beautiful Fall. The colors are simply glorious. The weather is marvelous. Everyone wants to be outdoors, by a fire, cooking, working, and just enjoying cool, brisk breezes.

It’s time again to unite with POA’s HOPE Prayer Family around the world to pray. What a blessing to come together for a cause so close to the heart of Jesus; His covenant children who have lost their way and those who love them and refuse to give up hope.

October 1, we will commit to pray our 14th season of “90 Days of Prayer” for our beloved prodigals and those who love them. Some of us have been together 7 years, praying faithfully every Spring and Fall. What journeys we’ve had of love, grace and mercy!

We will again pull our thoughts and prayers from the scripture-based book by Dr. James Banks, Prayers For Prodigals. We may deviate some, however we like staying with the scriptures Dr. Banks has compiled for each day.

We invite you to join our HOPE Family for these 90 days of binding together in hope and faith. If it is your first time, we welcome you to a family who cares deeply about all prodigals.

“And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border” (Jeremiah 31:17 KJV).

Believing for the harvest,

“Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things” (Joel 2:21).

When the people of God gather together in one mind and one accord, and cry out to Him, God hears and He takes notice. We see Him do great things; greater than we could have ever prayed.
