90-DAY PRAYER GUIDE (30 Days x3) DAY 29

DAY 29 Pray the Blessing: Eph 3:14-21 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Declare your faith: I confess and believe that the name of Jesus Christ is the name above all names and that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil 2:9-11)
Pray on foot: Pray at the highest point in your city (e.g. mountain, hill, tower) or at the centre of your town and city. Kneel down and confess your faith in Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life. Ask Him to enter your city with his life-transforming power and blessing.

90-DAY PRAYER GUIDE (30 Days x3) DAY 28

DAY 28 Pray the Blessing: Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Declare your faith: I believe and confess that all nations on earth will become the inheritance of Jesus Christ (Ps 2:8; Dan 7:14).
Pray on foot: Go to a tourist site and pray for the salvation of tourists. Pray also that your city or town will be filled with the manifest glory of the Lord so that nations will come to meet with Him rather than to see tourist attractions.

90-DAY PRAYER GUIDE (30 Days x3) DAY 23

DAY 23 Pray the Blessing: Matt 5:4-11 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.”

90-DAY PRAYER GUIDE (30 Days x3) DAY 17

DAY 17 Pray the Blessing: Ps 33:10-19 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
Declare your faith: I believe and confess that Jesus Christ does not want anyone to perish but all people to come to the saving knowledge of Him as the Son of God (2 Pet 3:9; John 3:16)
Pray on foot: Share the gospel today with at least one unbeliever and pray for those nations and people groups who have not yet heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.

90-DAY PRAYER GUIDE (30 Days x3) DAY 14

DAY 14 Pray the Blessing: Matt 25:31-40 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
Declare your faith: I believe and confess that Jesus Christ came set the captives free and that by his death on the cross He broke the hold of sin over our lives (Luke 4:18).
Pray on foot: Visit a prison today and pray for the prisoners, their families and their needs.

90-DAY PRAYER GUIDE (30 Days x3) DAY 6

DAY 6 Pray the Blessing: John 16:24-33 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. "I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father." His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God." Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
Declare your faith: I believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the light of the world, and that the light will overcome the darkness (John 1:4-5).
Pray on foot: Pray outside pagan temples, sites dedicated to other gods, mosques or ancient sites of pagan worship.

Doctors for Life: A Day of Precious Hope.

The day started like any other, only perhaps a little earlier, because the journey was a long one. Our intended destination: The Marie Stopes Clinic in Durban. Our mission: to deliver a message of hope. Our prayer was that the Lord should go before us and prepare the way, and as we passed the miles singing His praises, that is precisely what the Good Lord did.
The team, selected at the last minute, was a totally unmatched bunch, but we all had one thing in common; we wanted to bring a message of life and hope to all the people whom we should meet that day. As we were disembarking a member of the team noticed a young woman sitting on the sidewalk looking very distraught. Approaching her tentatively and greeting her with concern resulted in the counselor spending the next hour and a half, sitting on the pavement. Three hours later this young woman (GuGu) left for home, with a promise that she would reconsider aborting her child and three days later we received a call to say that she would keep her baby.
The rest of the team rounded the corner where they were confronted by the manager of the clinic (Nokwethemba) who was waiting outside in her car. She requested that we please move across the road as we were upsetting her clients and interrupting her business. Later she explained that she had experienced a very unpleasant and frightening encounter with a pro-life activist at the clinic where she had previously worked. We assured her that we were not there to protest or cause problems for her or her clientele. We were there to counsel the women who were seeking abortions, so as to enable them to make an informed choice. We came to suggest abortion alternatives and to offer assistance and support. We also wished to share with these women the message of forgiveness and salvation in Jesus Christ. On hearing this Nokwethemba invited us to come and talk to her about establishing a means by which she could refer clients to us who required abortion alternatives. Since that day four women have made the choice not to terminate their pregnancies. Four babies will be given life and be allowed to make their own choices as well as bring their own unique contributions to this world.
The Lord sent many people our way that day and He touched everyone including the team. I think many tears of joy have escaped their treasured cases and many hearts have since been inspired to try and make a difference.
With God on your side, precious hope abounds.
