"No Better Time Than Now"

Some people are procrastinators when it comes to prayer. They pray when seemingly forced to pray by a circumstance or situation. Of course, that is not how it should be. There should be an ongoing, consistent prayer.

Daniel is a good example of the right attitude toward prayer. From the time he was taken into captivity he prayed every day. There is no doubt in my mind it was from his parents praying in the home and teaching him by example. Daniel prayed three times a day; morning, noon and night (Daniel 6:10). He was known for his prayer. It was his testimony. When he faced the difficult situation of being thrown into the lion's den he had probably prayed close to 73,365 prayers; maybe more. (He was taken into captivity around 605 BC to the lion's den experience in 538 BC which comes to a total of 67 years. 67 years times 365 days [our calendar year not Jewish] total 24,455 days times 3 prayers per day equals 73,365 prayers prayed. Probably more). He didn't wait until his situation came up. He prayed faithfully every day.

Consistency in prayer is critical. When times are good, PRAY. When you feel blessed, PRAY. For every mountain there is a valley on each side. When the valley comes, your prayer life has prepared you for it. Your relationship and trust in Jesus will see you through. He will be there with you (Hebrews 13:5). He will give you strength (Philippians 4:13), and will make a way where there seems to be no way. Wish you had Daniels prayer life? There is no better time than now. Get started now and see what ongoing, consistent prayer will do in your life. I tell you this: you will never be the same!

Week Five

World Network of Prayer has chosen the theme A.I. for the “30 Days of Prayer.” A.I. stands for “Apostolic Influence.” Join us in praying in one mind and one accord on the following prayer focus for WEEK FIVE, and let’s believe God to do great things for His glory!

WEEK FIVE

Pray that God will help those going through trials and who need healing and deliverance as He did with the children of Israel: "and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom" (Acts 7:10).

WNOP

World Network of Prayer has chosen the theme A.I. for the 2024 "30 Days of Prayer." In today’s technological-driven society, when we hear the abbreviation A.I., many of us would assume it refers to artificial intelligence. This development in the fields of computer science and engineering makes it possible for machines to learn from experience and provide services typically requiring human input. However, in this case AI means “Apostolic Influence!” This intelligence is not human- or machine-engineered, and it is not artificial. It is authentic and biblical, and comes from the throne of God. Such influence is a spiritual force that focuses on hearts and transforms people through Apostolic means given by an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent God!

All individuals and churches are invited to participate in the annual "30 Days of Prayer" January 2-31, 2024. There will be greater Apostolic influence impacting the masses. Let's anticipate great revival, harvest, and success, as we allow "Apostolic Influence" to help turn the world upside down for the cause of Christ (Acts 17:6).

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression, prayer is an exceptional tool. Jesus loves when we come to Him with our sorrows! However, don't hesitate to reach out to a professional, in addition to the spiritual leaders in your life. We have each other for a reason!

The World Network of Prayer Presents 

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2023, WNOP has continued the 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide. It has been such a great success in 2022 that it was requested again. 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.

Many people throughout the world have signed up by committing in their hearts unto God that they will consistently join together in united 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!”
