SUNDAY 13 THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US WHY SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS AND GIVING OF THANKS ARE TO BE MADE FOR ALL MEN! “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
the truth.” 1 Timothy 2 Vs.1-4

 

MONDAY 14 IT IS OF IMPORTANCE TO PRAY FOR UNITY OF THE FAITH AND FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST “Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. 14 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; 15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”

Ephesians 4 13-16 (NASB)

 

TUESDAY 15 LET US SEEK THE LORD IN HUMILITY AND PRAY THAT HE BRINGS HEALING TO THE NATIONS OF THIS WORLD “Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence and plague among My people, 14 and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land. 15Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place.” 2 Chronicles 7 Vs 12-15 (AMP)

 

WEDNESDAY 16 BE STEADFAST IN PRAYER AND REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR GOD’S PEOPLE EVERYWHERE “I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers; 17 [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 18And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you,
the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people).” If ever a time we need to pray, it’s now! Pray in accordance with the 40-Day Prayer Calendar.

Ephesians 1 Vs 16-18 (AMP)

 

THURSDAY 17 THE COMING OF THE LORD IS VERY NEAR—OUR DUTY IS TO WATCH AND PRAY!

“Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”

Mark 13 Vs 33-37(KJV)

 

FRIDAY1 8 PRAY FOR SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT IN THESE EXTREME TROUBLED TIMES “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore, they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”

1 John 4 1-6 (ESV)

 

SATURDAY 19 PRAY FOR OUR LOST FAMILY MEMBERS AND FOR LOST SOULS ALL AROUND THE WORLD “And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. 12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. 14 Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of
fire. This lake of fire is the second death. 15 And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.”

Revelation 20 11-15 (KJV)

 

 

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT: Philippians 4:6 (KJV) says: “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
