So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church. Acts 12:5

Throughout history, game changing moments for individuals, cities, and nations have been linked to these words: “But earnest prayer was made to God by the church.”

Thank you for joining your praise and prayers with the Church throughout our community!

When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. – John 10:4

During this season of prayer and fasting—what are you hearing the Lord say about the current circumstances in your life?

What are three things the Lord is asking you to do?

Will you join me for 21 days of prayer and fasting?  

I believe God answers prayer and that God has great things planned for this city! I believe that there is a spiritual awakening coming to Lansing, Michigan. I believe that it’s harvest time! I believe things are about to speed up around here. I believe it’s Divine Acceleration time! I believe that God has invited us to be part of what He is doing in this region.

Why set aside 21 days for prayer and fasting? 

  • Throughout scripture, a corporate fast was called when God’s people were desperately in need of God’s help. There was always an element of crisis to the moment.
  • We too are in a crisis. The world has the crisis of ISIS. America has the crisis of racial tension, violence, moral rot, and injustice. Yet, the biggest crisis of them all is the crisis of our need for spiritual awakening. People must be born again while they can, lest they perish!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: (Ps. 122:6)

I pray for the nation and people of Israel, that You will protect them from the enemies that surround them. Cause her enemies to have an encounter with You. I pray for the people of Israel, that their spiritual eyes and ears will come open. Thank you for perfecting righteousness and praise throughout the nation of Israel.
