Intensive Prayer at the Halftime of the Year At the start of August, we have lived through seven months of the year, and we have five months to go. Depending on the year and the holidays, we have about 100 normal working days left in the year. We’re coming in to the second real push of the year. We’re at the halftime break. Whether we need to double down on our original goals, or adjust in some way, we need to seed the ground with prayer. The real beauty of 21 days of intensive prayer is that we're inviting God into the picture. Instead of just willpower, or gritting our teeth through ...

FiestAyuno: Definición No es un ayuno de tomar agua exclusivamente, aunque sí tiene que ver con dejar algo. No son semanas de fiestas indulgentes, aunque el énfasis esta lo que se va a ganar, no en aquello a lo que vamos a renunciar. Hay algo en medio. Por 21 días, intercambiamos algo menor por algo más grande. FiestAyuno es el camino rápido hacia el avance y la libertad. Dios nos ofrece el ayuno como un buen regalo; podemos escoger algo para entregarle. Pero entonces, no nos enfoquemos en lo que estamos dejando, sino en lo que Dios nos ofrece. Conexión. Esperanza. Libertad. ...

Scriptural guarantee! “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I ...

Take Communion Every Day for a Month? Two typical responses: “Wow, that sounds really powerful!” Or, “Wow! That sounds really controversial!” When Paul wrote about the Table of the Lord, he said, “For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” That word “proclaim,” in the Greek, is katangello. Katangello means declare, preach, make known, proclaim publicly. When you eat this bread and drink this cup, you declare, preach, make known, proclaim publicly. The Table of the Lord is not a quiet, introspective moment, but a loud ...

Celebrate Your Birthday All Month Long Day 1 comes from this scripture: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Day 31 comes from this scripture: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” A blessing a day. Begin on your birthday, or the first of the month … or enjoy any day you crave a ...

Juneteenth: May It Be a Global Celebration of Liberation Although the United States Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, the news didn’t reach Texas until June 19. On that day, more than two months after their enslavement ended, Union Army general Gordon Granger proclaimed freedom to the enslaved. Today we celebrate that we have this same proclamation to speak over those not yet free. We have the best proclamation of all! As Paul said in Galatians 5:1, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” But ...

Walking the Camino with Jesus When the Lord said, “Take a vacation,” Amy Lykosh wasn’t expecting to walk 200 miles in 10 days, alone, on another continent. Pushed to the edge of endurance, forced to confront some deep hurts. Not an easy road, but a good one. You come, too. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. It’s been a long time since I’ve allowed ...

In 1983, an itinerant evangelist told the young Bob Perry, a student of prayer and eager to learn, to pray I Chronicles 4:10 every day for the rest of his life.

And God granted his request." Bob began. In 2000, Bruce Wilkinson published a famous book about this verse: The Prayer of Jabez.
