I hope you fast for our nation on Election Day - Tuesday November 3. Fasting is abstaining from food. Here are three ways you can fast for spiritual renewal:

1). Eating no food. On Tuesday, you do not eat, only drink. You replace the time you would have eaten with prayer and hunger for God. Instead of talking about the election, you talk about the Lord. You can also use the time you would have eaten to go vote.

2). Fasting one meal. You might skip lunch or dinner. You replace the hour (preparation and clean-up including) with a longing for God. Write a note of encouragement or call someone battling cancer.

3). Forfeiting dessert. This is a good way to introduce children to fasting. They've been eating Halloween candy and they can do without on Tuesday - spending dessert time with reading the Bible, praying for our nation to turn to God. The king of Nineveh called for a fast, it included even the animals too (Jonah 3:6).

God relented from destroying Nineveh - He responded to their fast. We're asking God to respond to believer's throughout America, fasting for revival in our land.

Just like you make plans to vote on Tuesday, make plans to fast as well.

3 Reasons 2020's National Day of Prayer is of Most Importance

5/2/2020

This Thursday, May 7 is National Day of Prayer. I believe this year's NDP is probably the most-important Day of Prayer we've ever lived through. I'm going to list three reasons why the day began by the Continental Congress in 1775 is something you'll want to make time to participate in.

1). Christians should be known for our prayer. Jesus said, "My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves!" (Luke 19:46). When we fail to pray, we're stealing from God. We're communicating to God and everyone else, "I can do it myself. I'm fine." If Christians don't pray, they won't experience the power of God. No healing, no change, no deliverance from sin, no revival.

2). We're amidst a national and worldwide pandemic. Uncertainty is everywhere. You should be praying that God uses the coronavirus to bring spiritual renewal to America and the nations. Government cannot fix us, politics cannot heal us. Set aside time Thursday to pray for an awakening; pray for people throughout the earth to turn to Jesus Christ.

3). Don't return to "Normal." If your prayer life was in decline or non-existent, now is the time to change your daily prayer habits. This season of isolation and quarantine should provide the time - it should be an encouragement to fall to our knees. Only God can bring change, salvation comes from the Lord (Psalm 62:1). Gather your family on Thursday and pray for your country, your president, your job, your friends, your pastor, your church, your witness, and ask God to use the coronavirus to draw people to His Son.

Set a reminder on your phone. Make Thursday's NDP a top priority.

3 Tools to Help You Pray for All Nations

Tomorrow begins the International Mission Board Week of Prayer. Jesus told His disciples to make disciples all "all nations" (Matthew 28:19). One of the ways you can make disciples is to pray for specific needs missionaries request.

Here are 3 outstanding websites to assist in your prayer life:

1). International Mission Board's CompassionNet - click on "Today's Prayer." For children - they can use Kids on Mission to pray for MKs.

2). Operation World - this is the most exhaustive prayer guide for all nations available - there is a book available I highly recommend.

3). Joshua Project - this website leads prayer for Unreached Peoples of the world - the statistics are outstanding on this site. As I type this, 41.7% of the world lives among unreached people groups - little or no access to the Gospel.

Pray for Somalia - in 1991 there were 150 believers - in 1997 there were 4 - even this missionary's son was killed. Nearly 10 million people live in Somalia. The video below is why your prayers are needed.
