21 Days of Fasting and Prayer for Children and Grandchildren – Day 1

This 21 day fast will be dedicated to God's protection and deliverance of our children and grandchildren. In scripture, we can see a pattern of the enemy's hatred for our children.

God wants our children to stand in victory and to be wholly devoted to him.

40 Days of Prayer and Fasting – Day 26 – Here I Am, Lord

Living in times where the fabric of our nation is unraveling, I frequently go to places of self-reflection in prayer. Clearly, the Lord has lifted his hand of protection from our land. “Lord, I know the big things that displease you- things like abortion, greed and perversions. (And this is in the church.) But, what …
