Fasting

There is no more powerful medium for prayer than the Word of God. This prayer guide challenges you to pray through Scripture and faithfully expect the promises of God to be fulfilled. Praying Scripture aligns your heart with God’s heart because you are filling your mind and mouth with His Word.

The Return

The purpose of this reading plan is to mobilize an army of intercessors who will pray fervently for the exposure of the enemy’s secret, wicked plans working against and within our nations, churches, and communities. You will find this plan’s content helpful as you position yourself as God’s watchman warrior over your city, state, nation, church, and/or family. 

Expose the Secret Plots of the Enemy: 7 Days of Strategic Prayer 

In this 21-day devotional, Commissioned, we’ll explore how God called Joshua to lead His people into the Promised Land—and how He’s calling each of us to step into our own mission. Just like Joshua, we are commissioned by God to advance His purposes, no matter where we are. Over these next 21 days, you’ll be challenged to walk in faith, courage, and obedience, knowing that God goes before you, equips you, and strengthens you for every battle ahead. Prepare to reflect on your calling and the impact God wants to make through your life.
