Dear Pastor and Leader,

There is mighty power in prayer. In order to conceive God's dream for you, your family, finances, ministry and city, we need a true revival. True revival is only birthed in prayer. When we pray together the Holy Spirit is inspired to move in miraculous ways.

Jeremiah 33:3 declares, "Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know." The Lord wants to do new and powerful miracles in our country. Personally, invite each member of your team; motivate every member of your congregation to get involve in this 10 day of intercession. Now is the time to press forward in prayer!

THE INDISPUTABLE

"Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body,was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory."
(1 Timothy 3:16)

The Apostle Paul did not have a doubt about this. He didn't even consider this a matter of discussion. Jesus was God, incarnate! In Paul's speech to the Athens he declared: "For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you. "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else" (Acts 17:23-25).

PRAYER
Dear God, thank You for giving me the greatest gift anyone could ever get. Thank You for offering Yourself in the person of Jesus Christ, Your beloved Son. Thank You because with great courage He assumed the responsibility to carry our sins and destroy them at the Cross. Thank You for defeating the powers of hell that controlled my life. I love You Lord, because all chains have been broken and You have made me free forever. Amen.

DECLARATION
"God looked through the whole Universe for a place to establish His throne and He found my heart."

THE MOST VALUABLE QUEST

"God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us". (Acts 17:27)

Whenever a person has a personal encounter with Jesus, there is not even the slightest doubt in Him. He experiences a total conviction that the Lord is the true God. After meeting with Jesus, Philip found his best friend Nathaniel and he told him: "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." "Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," said Phillip" (John 1:45-46).

In other words, Phillip tells his friend: "check it out for yourself, knowing Jesus is a personal and unique experience.

PRAYER
Dear Jesus, I thank You for finding me. I know that You found me like You found Philip. You found me when I was so lost and far away. You saved me by Your grace when my feet were stumbling with no direction. Thank You because I know You are my Savior. Thank You because when I invited You, You came and took over my life. Thank You for planting me in Your Church and for making me an instrument of blessing in Your hands. I love You Jesus. Amen.

DECLARATION
"The promised Messiah looked for me, found me
and now lives in my heart."

THE PRINCIPLE OF REPRODUCTION

"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:31-32)

Jesus did not choose the most brilliant men that He could find. The Lord chose simple but teachable people, and even so, He had moments of confrontation with some of them. However, they were able to know the Heavenly Father through Jesus, and they were also willing to be shaped by Him.

Jesus focused on His twelve disciples and invested His time in them. He did not spend the best years of His life with the multitudes. He spent occasional time with the multitudes. One day He was with one group, and the next day He was with another group of people. The only group that Jesus was with consistently was His twelve disciples. Solomon said: "What is crooked cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted" (Ecclesiastes 1:15). When a rocket is launched into space, if it has a small deviation, the more it travels, the further it will be away from its target. There is a similar requisite for those who want to follow Jesus. From the first moment they must determine to step on the footprint He left.

PRAYER
Dear God, thank You for saving me and for giving me a clear understanding about the way I must reproduce in others. I know that with Your help I will do it, because the ones I must win are in Your hands. I ask for Your grace so that I could reach them with the message of faith and hope, because I want to have solid fruit for Your Kingdom. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

DECLARATION
"I have known the truth and the truth has set me free.
Now, I can reproduce myself in others".

FROM INCONSISTENCY TO STRENGTH

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Mathew 7:24)

At the beginning of His ministry Jesus focused on conquering His team of twelve.  Although He also kept some contact with the multitudes, He never forced them to follow Him.  He knew that people tend to be inconsistent. One day they bless and the next day they curse; one day they follow you and the next day they abandon you.  Jesus knew that if He wanted to build a solid church, strong enough to endure the severity of the weather, He should do it with rocks.  That is why He changed Simon, His disciple’s name, implying what He would do the same with every one of His twelve in His team.  The Lord decided to make up a team that would remain, so that when He was no longer with them, they could continue with His work.  

PRAYER
Beloved Father, I know that since the beginning You believed in me and You changed my name. Because when I first met You, I looked like an unstable reed, without any strength in my life.  Great inconsistency and lack of vision made me wander from one place to the other. However, when I found You, everything in me changed.  I felt appreciated and I realized I had found my place.  I believe You placed me as a steady stone in your church.  I declare I will bear abundant fruit for Your glory. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Amen.

GENUINE COMPASSION 

“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:35-36)

In His intense work of the ministry, Jesus sensed the huge need people had and the lack of servants willing to share the message of salvation. So He asked His disciples to pray for workers.  This means that Christian leadership needs people who are willing to carry the burden of others. Making Jesus available to others is the foundation of true compassion.  

PRAYER
Beloved God, thank You for Your great mercy that allowed me to get in touch with Your Word.  Thank You for giving me the ability to understand it.  Thank You for convicting me of my sins and for forgiving me.  Thank You for teaching me the riches of the Gospel in Your Kingdom and for keeping my body healthy all the time.  Thank You for choosing me to be a worker in Your plan. I pray that You help me to be faithful in whatever You have commanded me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

DECLARATION

“Jesus reached me, saved me, and knitted my faith with compassion.”

FAITH ALLOWS SEEING THE MIRACLE

“I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.’”(Ezekiel 37:14)

God has a very particular way to teach His will to every one of His sons and daughters, and to have them renew their minds through visions and dreams.  The Lord took the prophet Ezekiel to a valley full of dry bones scattered over the field.  Witnessing that stunning picture God asked him: “Son of man, can these bones live?” (Ezekiel 37:3)  God was showing him the spiritual condition of the chosen people. Even when they were physically moving, their spiritual being had been dead a long time, and they looked like simple bones scattered on the field.  After performing a careful inspection of the place, the Lord asked him: "can these bones live?"  And Ezekiel answered: “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”  Then God told the prophet: “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!’"  The Lord pointed out to the prophet that the answer to the problem of the nation was dependent on his words, and that the miracle would happen if he dared to prophesy. 

PRAYER
Dear God, it is a privilege that You chose me to reveal what is in Your heart.  You also show me how to have the faith to change things in my life.  Thank You for entrusting Your Word to me so that I can declare it.  Although it is Your Word, You were pleased to use my life as an instrument to release it in.  Thank You, because through my declaration, I can bring life and hope, and I can establish Your Kingdom on Earth. In the name of Jesus, Amen. 

DECLARATION
“I believed the promise, I can see my miracle and I proclaimed it with faith.”

THE REWARD OF THE GENEROUS

“Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD.  And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,” (Genesis 4:2-4)

The fact that God was pleased with Abel's offering implies that he had a generous heart.  He knew that some day he should present himself before God and he shouldn't go with empty hands. Rather, he should prepare the best offering for the One who had given him life. The offering that pleases the Lord has the seal of excellence. Abel’s offering, definitely had that seal.  This was the key to effect history as one of the greatest examples of what a pleasing offering to God should be.

PRAYER
Dear God, thank You for the privilege that You have given me to know You. Thank You for allowing me to come before You with my best offering, because I'm expressing the degree of commitment that I have to You through what I give.  My offering is an expression of gratitude for all I have received from You because You already gave Your beloved Son Jesus for me to be redeemed.  Thank You my Lord, I love You.  Amen.

DECLARATION
“I give my best, because I received the best from God.”

DETERMINED TO CHANGE

"Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” (Genesis 5:24)

Enoch was the seventh one of human genealogy.  His first seventy-five years where lost years, so much so that they are not even mentioned in the Bible.  The birth of his son Methuselah is such a turning point for him that he experiences a radical change in his life.  He saw himself reflected in his son.  I can imagine Enoch lifting his son up and looking right into his eyes, while he wondered: "Am I living as an example for my son?"  He realized that all of his messy life, always wanting to do his own will, would not help in the education of his son.  Now, he held his destiny in his own arms, because this son was the extension of his own character.  He thought: "If my son follows my example, his future is going to be full of sin and eternal condemnation.  And I don't want that for my son".  I can also imagine him saying: "Son, I want to do whatever is best for you.  I want you to have God's blessing and the longest life anyone could have on earth.  But let me help you with my example. From now on, I will be another man.  I'm determined to become a true servant of God."  

PRAYER
Dear God, thank You because You managed to catch my attention.  Although I spent years away from You, You used my circumstances for me to turn back to You.   I will not take a step back into the past because I want to be an example for my generation.  I want them to know that You alone are God and there is no one as good as You.  You patiently waited for me until I voluntarily came to You and You transformed me in an instant.  You revealed Your Kingdom's treasures to me.  I had nothing when You came to me.  You opened Your arms and lavished Your blessings on me until I was overwhelmed.  You gave me so many spiritual privileges that only the ones who know You have the right to possess them.  Thank You for loving me and for preparing the eternal glory for me.  I love You, my Lord.  Amen.

DECLARATION
“God rewarded my faith, giving me indescribable spiritual riches.”

CALLING THE LORD'S ATTENTION

“But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” (Genesis 6:8)

The human race had multiplied in a great way.  The sons of God (Seth's descendants) fell in love with the daughters of men (Cain's descendants).  They stopped admiring God the Creator and focused all their attention on the women He had created.  The Lord was so tired that He decided to argue with them no longer since they frustrated Him with their rebellious behavior, so God decided to put an end to this project called "man," since evil had surpassed all the limits.  Sexual promiscuity was at an all time high.  God saw that evil had grown so much it was as a cancer in the entire human race.  At the moment God decided to give end to His work, a man called Noah arises like a light at the end of a tunnel. 

PRAYER 
Heavenly Father, thank You for letting me find favor in Your eyes.  Thank You for Your beloved Son Jesus who became my ark of salvation, since I could enter the ark that He built, the Cross of Calvary.  There, You received my life with all my qualities and flaws, my virtues and sins, my righteousness and wickedness.  There, You broke every curse to give me Your blessing in exchange.  Thank You for extending Your redemption to all my family.  Amen. 

DECLARATION
“I found favor in the eyes of my Lord. He made me righteous and perfect.”

DECISIONS OF A VISIONARY

“The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.” 
(Genesis 13:14-16)

Abraham had to take some disciplinary actions in his life. A particular one related to Lot, his nephew.  When God called Abraham He intended for him to leave his family, but Abraham chose to take Lot with him.  Lot's name means veil.   All the time Lot was with him, Abraham couldn't see what God had for him and for his offspring.  One day he had to ask Lot: "Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left” (Genesis 13:9).  Lot's decision was the worst he could have chosen.  That veil that characterized him clouded his understanding and he couldn’t see the destruction that was to come.  On the other hand, God told Abraham that since the veil had already been taken from his eyes, he now could look up and see all the earth the Lord had prepared for him and his offspring. 

PRAYER
My Father and my God, thank You for the way that You lead my life every step of the way.  Thank You for removing the veil that clouded my vision and for showing me the right way that You have designed for my feet to walk.  Thank You for opening my eyes to see the wonders of Your law, and for showing me the size of my faith to undertake big things for You.  I come to You with determined faith and I pour my soul out at Your feet, because I have the confidence that your arm is strong enough to give me the victory in everything I need.  Thank You because You make me live within the promises in your Word as if I were living within the Promised Land.  I love You, my Lord Jesus.  Amen. 

DECLARATION
“I made the decision to follow God and He removed the veil, gave me His promises and cleared my vision”.
