OUR GOD, OUR CITYSo many Christian leaders have spoken words over the past 120 years that Houston is a gateway for Texas and for Revival that will spread through the state and this nation. In the natural, Houston has been a gateway to immigrants who would come into the state through what was known as “Little Ellis Island” (Galveston, TX) in the 1800s. They purchased oxen and wagons to travel to or through Houston, many times to flee religious persecution or oppression in their own homelands. They sought the American Dream to settle and prosper in this Lone Star state. Today, merchants from all lands travel up a 50-mile canal to the Port of Houston, send their products for distribution by way of 17 different railroad lines that converge here, or visit by way of Houston’s two international airports. And then there’s “Space City” which is also considered a gateway to outer space.

Today Houston has claimed the designation of being the 3rd largest city in the USA, but revival seeds were sown when Houston was much smaller by -residents Charles Parham, John G. Lake and William Seymour. Due to segregation at the time, William Seymour sat on the porch, listening intent-ly through the screen to Charles Parham as he taught the Bible college students inside. When he felt called by the Lord to go to Los Angeles, the college raised money for his travels, and when he start-ed preaching to a full spectrum of races on Azusa Street there, revival history was made! Housto-nians have mourned their loss of the revival seed in William Seymour, mourned the prejudice of that era, but prophecy has been that what Houston missed 100 years ago will return with not just a spark, but a full-blown inferno! Like the sons of Issachar, our leaders of faith now KNOW it’s time. It’s time to gather. It’s time to unify. It’s time to release the sound. It’s time to cry out. It’s time for REVIVAL!

PRAYER BEFORE EVERY MOVE OF GODBefore every great move of God throughout the history of the planet, prayer was the beginning. For decades, there has been a remnant of intercessors praying for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Houston that would bring transformational revival. We believe we are moving into that season.

We have provided a 40-day prayer guide with strategic targets and scriptures to pray for a returning and awakening of the Bride in our city. There is no greater way to agree together than by praying biblical prayers focused on the heart and will of God. This guide will help you pray 40 days of uni-fied prayers with hundreds of others for the REVIVAL4SURVIVAL of the USA.

Thank you so much for partnering with the Revival4Survival mission of bringing the body of Christ to humble repentance, for there to be reconciliation with Christ, and for the restoration and revival of His people for a Great Awakening and Great Harvest to reach the lost to know their Savior, Christ Jesus.

Do you want to fast with your prayer regimen? It’s optional, but if so, seek the Holy Spirit and listen for His confirmation. Your fast could be one day each week, or one meal per day, or a water fast, or a liquid fast, or a veggie fast (aka “The Daniel Fast”). In a spiritual fast the sacrifice you give, denying your flesh, is to help you focus even stronger on the Lord and His Voice. For those that are hearing to pair your prayers with fasting, we cheer you on.

Repentance and ReconciliationLord, we are so grateful that we can come to You and confess our faults. We thank You, Lord, for ex-tending mercy to us and forgiving us of our sins. Lord, we confess that even though You have asked us to be merciful to others as You are to us and to forgive others as You have forgiven us that we have failed to do so. Lord, we have not been merciful, we have not been compassionate, we have not been long-suffering and we have not made every effort to unify with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Lord, we have allowed our differences to overtake us and divide us. Lord, we ask You to forgive us. We repent for turning our backs to our brothers and sisters. We repent for not forgiving others. We repent for not loving our brothers and sisters as Christ loves us. We repent for not being an example to the world of what Your love looks like. Lord, we ask for the conviction of repentance to go forth so active reconciliation takes place. Lord, we ask You to transform our hearts so that we would love and honor one another and be the ministers of reconciliation that you have called for each one of us to be. May we become a new breed that sets the standard in reconciliation in the earth. May we walk with Your heart and thoughts, and by the power of Your Spirit, as Your personal weapons of warfare, exposing and demolishing division. Make us deliverers and reconcilers, drip-ping with Your presence and power, to reconcile the injuries of and in Your Church, and to recon-cile the lost to You as their Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lustful DesiresLord, You said in 1 John 2:16, “for all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.” Lord, we confess that we have lusted after the things of this world. We have even looked lustfully upon others. Lord, we have desired greatly the wrong things. Instead of desiring You and Your Word, we have desired things that the world offers which only leads to death and destruction. Forgive us, Lord, for walking in the ways of the world. Forgive us for chasing after money, material things, roles, titles and positions. Forgive us of our many adulterous acts. We turn ourselves away from this wickedness and turn to You. We repent of our lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Father, in those areas where we remain weak, deliver us from those fleshly desires and the pride of life. Lord, replace those wrong desires with a desire for more of You. We declare that You are a Good God and Father and that You are worthy of pursuit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Operating in Purity Lord, it says in Your Word according to 1 Thessalonians 4:7 that You have called us to live a life of purity and holiness. Lord, we confess that our thoughts, words and actions have not been pure. We have conformed to the world in so many ways and have fallen short of living a life that is whol-ly pleasing and acceptable to You. Forgive us, Lord, for not living out the righteousness that was purchased for us by the shedding of the precious blood of Your Son, Jesus. Where there have been operations of people-pleasing, fear of man, fear of lack, manipulation, control, lying, lust—operations of any demonic temptations and influence, we do ask for forgiveness. We repent and renounce agreement with those things and anything else that is less than Your pure and undefiled Holy Spirit. Lord, wherever we, as Your Bride, have operated in this mixture of You plus anything else, we ask that You forgive us. We ask that You purify the motives of Your Church. Purify our hearts. Stand over us with the Refiner’s fire, completely purifying us as Your Bride, consecrated unto You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hurt and OffenseLord, we thank You that You are a God that forgives and remembers our sins no more. Lord, You have called us to a love that is patient, kind, that is not easily angered and holds no record of wrongs. Lord, we confess that we have been angered and kept records of wrongs hidden in our hearts. When You called us to love, we didn’t. When You called us to forgive, we didn’t. When You called us to be patient, we weren’t. Lord, we repent for not being patient, kind, loving, merciful or forgiving. Forgive us, Lord, for not living what we profess. Forgive us, Lord, for the times that we offended others. Forgive us, Lord, for holding offenses and unforgiveness in our hearts. Thank You, Lord, for not holding offenses against us. May we be like our Father and not hold offenses against others. Thank You for pursuing hearts to surrender in reckless abandon to forgive hurts and offens-es. Lord, we ask You to bring Your healing into areas in our hearts and mind where hurt and pain resides. Lord, we ask Your help to mend hearts and broken relationships. Cause us to be a people that are slow to anger and quick to forgive. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

RejectionLord, we thank You that there is power in the Blood of Jesus, to save, heal, deliver and set free. We thank You, Lord, that by His stripes, we are healed. We pray, Lord, for all of those that have been wounded as a result of rejection. Rejection in the womb. Rejection as a child. Rejection as an adult. Rejection as a parent. Rejection by the church. Rejection by those close to us and rejection by those whom we know. Lord, we ask that You supernaturally close the legal doors open to where the enemy could violate or manipulate these vulnerabilities in their lives. We pray, Lord, that You would heal every wound and wipe away every tear with Your comfort and love. We pray that those who were rejected are able to forgive those who have rejected them and able to move forward full of joy, hope and love. We pray, Lord, that they would know that You are a God of acceptance and that they can run to You in their times of distress and trouble and You will be there. We pray, Lord, that You would draw them in with Your lovingkindness. Lord Jesus, we ask that You come be King and first love in every area of their life. Be the complete fulfillment of all their needs, all their desires, and their position as son and daughter. Lord Jesus, bring the realization that everything You are IS enough, and everything else is blessing and overflow. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Seeking His Kingdom and RighteousnessLord, we thank you for the open access You have given us that allows us to enter into Your holy presence. Lord, we confess that many times we have only come before You to seek Your hand and help but not Your face and will. Forgive us, Lord, when we have failed to approach and worship You properly. Forgive us, Lord, when we have failed to acknowledge You in all our ways and did things that seemed right in our own eyes. Forgive us, Lord, when we failed to pursue Your plans instead of our own. Forgive us, Lord, when we didn’t place You as our number one priority. We repent for not seeking first Your Kingdom and Your Righteousness. We now come before You, Lord, to seek Your face and Your Kingdom first through prayer. We choose to spend time with You in prayer, develop-ing our relationship first and foremost with You. Lord, increase our hunger and thirst for You. Help us to seek You and Your Righteousness by meditating on Your Word! Let Your Word come alive as You write it on our hearts. Let us worship You for who You are as we seek Your presence and not Your presents. We worship You, and You alone. Lord, when You see us going astray, remind us to seek You first and not the opinions of others, resources, or ideas. Help us trust You implicitly with everything and seek You, and You alone. Help us by Your grace to continue to seek You all the days of our lives. We declare that with Your help, we can do all things because of Christ who gives us the strength. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lovers of TruthLord, You are the God of all Truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Lord, we ask for forgive-ness for the times when we have not loved Your Truth at all costs. Forgive us for the times we came in agreement with lies and not Your Truth. We repent where we have compromised Your Truth on the premises of lies, greed, fear, doubt, and unbelief. We have, know, understand, and possess the Spirit of Truth Himself. Forgive us, Holy Spirit, where we have quenched and grieved You on these and any other premises. We ask that You expose and disarm all lies that we have believed that have hindered us from the pure flow of Your Truth— be the Truth of the Word, Truth of the Father’s heart, True beauty of Jesus, and the True unhindered flow of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We declare that we love You and the Truth that is only found in You and Your holy Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Desiring GodLord, we thank You for loving us and demonstrating Your love to us by allowing Your beloved Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. We thank You, Lord, for being faithful to us even when we have not been faithful to You. Forgive us for failing to put all of our hope, confidence and trust in You. Lord, we repent as Your Bride for chasing after other lovers, believing the lie that You alone are not enough. Lord, we offer our hearts once again to renew our commitment to You and say that You are enough! You are more than enough! May our hearts be filled with the newness of first love in You again. May we do the works of the Church as Your Bride, madly in love with You. May You look upon our heart of devotion and desire for You and be captivated. Consume us with the fire of Your passion. May our hearts chase after You with unbroken fellowship. May we honor You in all our ways, knowing that delighting in You is our portion and reward. We declare that all of our desires are found in You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Mind of ChristLord, it says in Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus”. Lord, forgive us for coming in agreement with lies, believing the lies of the enemy and things that are contrary to Your Word. Lord, we repent of coming in agreement with the enemy who is the father of lies. Lord, we repent for what we have allowed through the gates of our ears and eyes that would affect our minds against alignment with Christ. Forgive us, Lord, for not having good thoughts and for not allowing our minds to be renewed with Your truth. You are the God of Truth. You are the Truth. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we doubted that. Forgive us, Lord, for thinking evil towards You. For-give us, Lord, for the times we believed that You were against us and not for us. Forgive us, Lord, for blaming You for the works of the enemy. Forgive us, Lord, for believing what men say and not what You say. Forgive us, Lord, for demonstrating and teaching our perverted truth to others. Forgive us, Lord, for not rightly dividing Your Word. Forgive us, Lord, for choosing which parts of Your Word we will hold as truth and which parts we will hold as no longer valid or relevant. Lord, we ask You to purge our minds— our conscious, our subconscious, and our unconscious by the blood of Jesus, of things we believed to be true that are not. Lord, we ask You to remove the foothold the enemy has had in our lives due to our beliefs in these lies so that we can no longer be manipulated by the enemy. Destroy every stronghold and every vain imagination. Lord, set us free; fill every void, replace every lie with Your truth. Help us to renew our minds in Your Word every day. We decree and declare we have the mind of Christ. We declare Philippians 4:8 over our lives, “whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God’s WorkmanshipLord, it says in Ephesians 2:10: “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” We ask forgiveness Lord for not being fully committed to doing the good works that You have called each of us to do. We repent of putting our desires ahead of Yours. Forgive us, Lord, for the times that we have not represent-ed You well to the world. Forgive us for not being a shining example of Your love and goodness. We pray that as we are filled and grounded with the love of Christ, and strengthened by the Holy Spirit to overflowing with all the fullness of God, that we fulfill every assignment You prepared for us to do to for Your glory! Let Your love and Your light, dear Jesus, shine through us in all our as-signments. We pray that our love for You, dear Jesus, outshine all other loves. Lord, we decree and declare Your Word in Isaiah 60:1: “Arise, shine; For our light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon us.”, Ephesians 3:16-19: “May He grant us, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.” And Matthew 5:16: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

IntercessionLord, according to 1 Peter 5:8, You instruct us to “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” We thank You, Lord, for letting Your children know the truth that the plans of the enemy are to destroy and devour us but thank You, Lord, for letting us know of Your perfect plans for our lives in Jeremiah 29:11, ““For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”” Lord, we ask forgiveness for not being on watch and pray-ing against the plans of the enemy. Lord, we ask forgiveness for accusing You of causing tragedies in our lives and in the world when it was the deceiver that caused these issues. We repent of be-lieving lies, for not being sober and vigilant. Help us, Lord, in our weaknesses. Help us to be inter-cessors who pray and trust in You, the One and only God who hears and answers our prayers. We pray, Lord, that we would be a people of prayer who pray both day and night, in times of joy and sorrow and in times of plenty and lack. We thank You, Lord, for those who have remained steadfast in prayer. Thank You, Lord, for raising up powerful intercessors and watchmen who know You inti-mately. Lord, we pray that You will strengthen them to always pray and not faint. We pray, Lord, that You will lead them into how to pray strategic prayers aligned with Your Word and will so that they are effective. Thank You, Lord, that these watchmen and intercessors walk in consecration and holi-ness as Your priests in Houston. Thank You, Lord, that their prayers carry weight in the Spirit realm, with the ability of covering large territory for Your Kingdom and Your glory. Thank You, Lord, for protecting them from any backlash of the enemy. Thank You, Lord, that they are not moved by any-thing but Your heart and Your word against enemy tactics. Thank You, Lord, that Your will is being done on earth and that You have protected us and our city from many plans that the enemy has to destroy us. Because of Your grace, mercy and protection, we can declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). In Jesus’ name. Amen.

DeliveranceLord, we agree with Psalm 18:2 that says, “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Lord, we thank You that You are our deliverer. We pray that You deliver those in their times of dis-tress and need. Thank You, Lord, for raising up people and ministries that are equipped to assist those in need of help. Thank You, Lord, for providing everything they need, whether it be manpow-er, finances or other resources. Thank You, Lord, for ministries that are willing to submit and humbly serve You and Your people. We pray, Lord, that they would be able to walk in love with those as they go through the process of healing, deliverance and restoration. We thank You, Lord, for the freedom that is found in Christ and that there is no more condemnation for those who no longer walk after the flesh. Thank You, Lord, that we are no longer slaves to sin and that we are now free to worship You in Spirit and in Truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Human TraffickingLord, we agree with You that Your commandments are good and right and not burdensome yet we have sinned against You. We have bartered, traded, sold, used and abused people as if they were things of little or no worth. Many of those are experiencing physical, mental and spiritual abuse that is not part of the Your plan for Your plans were meant to prosper and not harm them. Lord, forgive us for devaluing the life and well-being of others. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we have not stood for justice and liberty. Forgive us, Lord, for knowing yet ignoring the plight of others. We repent, Lord, for not esteeming and fighting for the rights of others. Lord, we ask that You expose every human-trafficking and sex-trafficking ring and that the victims would be set free. Lord, even in Your judgment You extend mercy so we pray that the abusers would repent of their sins and find salva-tion which can only be obtained through Your Son, Jesus and that they would continue their days on earth helping to rescue others out of physical and spiritual darkness. Lord, we pray that You would heal all the victims of abuse from emotional trauma and that they would know Your unfailing love for them. Lord, we declare newness, refreshing, freedom and wholeness into their lives be-cause whom the Son sets free is free indeed. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Unity of the SpiritLord, how precious it is that according to John 17:21, Your Beloved Son, Jesus, prayed for us that we, Your children, would be One. Lord, we confess that we have fallen short of being the answer to Your Son’s prayer. We have lacked the persistent will to reconcile with those who have hurt, offend-ed or rejected us. We have not demonstrated the selfless love to others that You demonstrated to us. We repent, Lord, for not earnestly seeking reconciliation and peace with our fellow brothers and sisters. We repent, Lord, for not giving them what we owe them, which is love. Forgive us, Lord, for this wrong doing. Lord, we ask You for a birthing of the Book of Acts church, by the unity of Your Spirit, where we are unified across racial, denominational and cultural boundaries—sharing our re-sources with each other for the sake of increasing Your Kingdom. By the power and authority, You have given us, we tear down every demonic division in Your Church, in the name and by the Blood of Jesus. We thank You for healing our hearts where there has been hurt and offenses. We declare reconciliation and restoration in the name of Jesus. May the Blood of Jesus be the foundation that connects us and may the enemy never divide us again. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Abortionn all levels

God, You are the creator of all life. You are the one who knitted us in our mother’s womb. We ask You, Lord, to forgive us for not valuing all life. Forgive us, Lord, for not standing for righteousness. Forgive our nation for the wrong choices we have made regarding life in the womb. These murders are an offense against You, O God. Lord, we pray 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.” We repent, Lord, for legalizing the murder of children in the womb. We repent, Lord, for being selfish and sacrificing our children unto death. We repent, Lord, for thinking we have the right to choose whether one is worthy of life or death. Forgive us, Lord, for the shedding of innocent blood. Lord, we pray and plead for the lawful ending of abortion and that Your righteous laws would prevail in the land. We pray that you would touch the hearts of the mothers and fathers. Cause them to know that the life of a precious child is given by You and that they have no right to choose murder over life. Cause them to trust that You will make a way for them to prosper as parents. Cause them to rejoice because they have been granted the privilege to bring life into the world. We plead Your Blood over our sins and the sins of our nation and declare that life will be chosen over death, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our National LeadersLord, we thank You that the government is upon Your shoulder and that You are the one who puts leaders into positions. Lord, we confess that we don’t always understand why some are in the positions that they are but we trust You and believe that Your ways are right and perfect. Lord, we thank You that even in our weaknesses, You can use us and them for Your glory. We thank You that You are always in control and that Your plans never fail. Lord, it says in 1 Timothy 1:1-2, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority…”. Lord, we confess that we haven’t always prayed and given thanks for those that are in authority and we ask for You to forgive us. Forgive us for disagreeing with whom You placed in these positions of influence and power. We repent, Lord, for not praying for our leaders as we have been instructed. We repent, Lord, for murmuring against You and some of the leaders selected by You. Lord, where we doubt You, help us to believe. When we don’t understand, help us to understand. Let not our hearts be troubled but grant us eyes to see, ears to hear and confidence to trust in You. Lord, we choose to bless all of the leaders You have placed in these honorable positions. We lift up our President, Donald J. Trump and his family, our Vice-President, Mike Pence and his family and all of our leaders of the executive, legislative and judicial branches and their families and ask You to strengthen them, encourage them, grant them wisdom, knowledge and insight to make the right decisions according to Your will. We pray for the salvation of all leaders that have not yet accepted Lord Jesus as their Savior. We pray that justice and righteousness will prevail in the land and that our leaders will be able to work together to fulfill the plan and purposes of the Lord for our nation. Thank You, Lord, that You are on our side and that all things will work out together for our good. We declare that America will be saved and walk in her intended destiny. Your word says, “The prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective.” James 5:16. Thank You, Lord, for inclining Your ear to hear our prayers. We pray all of this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Godly Government in Greater HoustonLord, according to Romans 13:1, You are the One who puts leaders into positions. Lord, we ask You to forgive us for the times we did not agree with the decisions You made. We repent of the times we have murmured and complained against them and You. Forgive us, Lord, when we failed to pray as we should for the rules that You have ordained in the land. Lord, right now we choose to bless them and the work of their hands. Lord, according to Joel 2:28-29, You said, “I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” Lord, we ask that You pour out Your spirit over our governmental leaders in Greater Houston like never before. Father, we bring the needs of our government before You and ask You to bless our city through our leaders. We pray for the salvation of our leaders that do not know or have not accepted Lord Jesus as their Savior. We pray that Your name would be exalted in every governmental building. We pray that our leaders will make decisions on behalf of the people according to Your will. Lord, we ask that You raise up more Godly men and women to serve on the city council, in city politics, and in our city government; a new generation of burning lovers of Jesus who will lead with the wisdom and love of Jesus. We ask for Godly counsel and wisdom for all judges across Houston. In the Name of Jesus, we pray that You and Your Kingdom of Righteousness be manifested in the hearts of all those who are in authority in any way. We pray that You reveal Your perfect will to all the leaders in Greater Houston and that they will be obedient to pursue Your will and righteousness, not the will of others. We magnify the Name of Jesus and declare that He is Lord over Greater Houston. In Jesus name. Amen.

High Level CorruptionLord, we cry unto You for help and justice. Many of our leaders in high places have abused the power and authority entrusted to them for personal gain. Wickedness has crept in allowing un-godly rules, laws and ordinances to be enacted. The enemy is trying to come in like a flood but we thank You, Lord, that according to Isaiah 59:19, You will raise up a standard against him. Lord, we pray that You would raise up Godly governments and justice systems, and that corruption and wicked counsel be exposed. Lord, You said in Psalm 30:2, “Lord my God, I called to You for help, and You healed me.” Lord, we come humbly before You and acknowledge that You are the One True King. We bow before only You and ask that You would bring light into the dark places of the corruption within our government! We pray that You would weed out the wickedness of man and Your righteousness would prevail. Let Your name be lifted high in every corner of our government. Lord, we pray that You will: Heal our land. Heal our hearts. Right every wrong. Save those who are in the hands of the enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Criminal Activity We thank You, Lord, that You are not only God Almighty but that You are also our Father. We thank You for desiring us and choosing to adopt all those who call upon the name of Lord Jesus as Your children. Your love is immeasurable and there is no adequate way to express gratitude for what You have done other than saying, “Thank You”. You have been beyond amazing to us and we are truly grateful. Despite Your goodness, men still refuse to bow to You and Your will. There is wickedness all around us. Lord, we appeal to You, the Judge of all the earth, to intervene and break the cycles of violence, hatred, revenge, and unrighteousness that is in the land. Lord, Genesis 18:25 says, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” God, abolish the crime in our city. Bring forth righteousness and peace. Lord, we pray that You would prick the hearts of those that are involved in crimes that are not only against people but against You. Lord, cause them to see how displeasing this is in Your eyes. We pray, Lord, that they would willingly humble themselves under Your mighty hand and repent of their wrongdoings. We pray, Lord, that You would bring healing and restoration to all those that have been impacted by criminal activity. Lord, we pray that You bring a transfor-mational revival that would cause such an impact that it would abolish all crime on every level. Let righteousness overtake crime. We pray Lord that You would revive our hearts and renew a new level of holiness throughout this entire region! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Freedom of ReligionLord, thank You that we live in a nation founded on You. Thank you for blessing this nation since its inception. This nation is still in existence because of Your grace and mercy. We thank You for all our nation’s leaders that proclaim Your name and stand for righteousness. Thank You for using our President to enforce laws that protect against the shedding of innocent blood, and to protect our religious liberties. Lord, we see the manipulation and deception of truth, and the attempts of an antichrist spirit to specifically silence Your Church. Lord, we ask You for the airwaves so that the Good News will be spread further and quicker throughout the earth. We ask for specific laws to protect Your Church for the furthering of the Gospel in and through our nation and to the world. Lord, we pray that mercy will be extended to those who are persecuting Your church. We pray that the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened and that they would come to know that Jesus is Lord. We pray, Lord, that they would resist You and the truth of Your Son no more. We pray that they would call upon the name of the Lord Jesus for salvation. Lord, we pray that You would send more laborers to work in the harvest fields. Thank You, Lord, for equipping us with tools to reach the world for Your glory. We declare that Your Church will go forward in the power of Your might to preach the Good News of Your love and precious gift of salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Church UnityLord, Psalm 133:1 says, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Lord, we confess that we, Your children, have not walked together in unity or harmony with one another. Some have even left You and fellowship with the brethren due to hurt or offense. We repent, Lord, for allowing race, politics, opinions, jealously, envy, covetousness and so much more divide us even though we are called to be One in Christ. Lord, we ask that You shake, shift, and en-counter Your Church in Houston. Tear down every wall, every competition, every heresy, and every demonic entity of strife and division. Forgive us, Lord, for not forgiving others. Heal us of all of-fenses and hurts. Give us the strength and boldness to take the first step to reconcile. We are Your church, and we are asking You to unify us on the grounds of Jesus’ blood. Unify us as one heart and one mind in You for the sake of Your Kingdom. Lord, draw those who walked away to come back to You. Lead them to the church You desire to plant them at. Renew their hope and trust in You. Lord, let us be known by Your love, not by any other status. Holy Spirit, fill us and unify us as a supernatu-ral sign and wonder to our nation and to the nations of the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Family UnityLord, we understand through Your Word that You are the Creator of family and that what You have joined together, no one should separate. Lord, we have allowed the enemy of our souls to cause division within our homes. Husband against wife. Mother against child. Brother against sister. Lord, we ask for forgiveness. Forgive us, Lord, for not forgiving those whom we love, especially those of our own household. Lord, we repent on behalf of those who have walked away from their family or responsibilities. Lord, we ask that You heal what can be healed and restore what can be restored. Lord, we ask where the enemy is trying to divide, confuse, desecrate and decimate families, and the family unit of society against the standards written in Your Word, that You would stop him and cause his plans to prosper no more! Lord, we ask for restoration, reconciliation, and a rebuilding of the ruins in families. We ask for unification in families by Your Spirit. We pray that the standard of family that You desire for us to become—becomes the narrative of our culture. Revive our families and give voice to this work of Your Spirit in families as signs, wonders, and miracles to the global culture, creating a hunger for You—no longer trapped and isolated in orphan-hood. We declare that You are our Father, and we are not orphans nor alone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Military FamiliesLord, we pray in agreement for our military and their families; for their protection, support, and revival. Lord, Isaiah 64:1-4 says, “Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence—as fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence! When You did awesome things for which we did not look...Since the beginning of the world men have not heard...nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.” Lord, we ask for You to protect our military as they serve and protect our country. Keep their families safe and full of peace while their loved ones are away from home. Lord, would You dispatch Your angels to come down and protect our armed forces? We ask that people would marvel at Your miracles as You manifest Your presence in their lives, and they glorify Your name! We ask that others would see the awesome things You do in the lives of those who call upon Your name in the military and that they themselves would come to know You and receive Your free gift of salvation. We pray that You would make Your name known throughout the nations through our military. We ask that You manifest Your power in their lives. We ask for a great revival of believers in the military and that it would spread from base to base across the globe! We declare a great revival in the armed forces of the U. S. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Service ProfessionalsThank you, Lord, for all our service men and women that are police officers, first responders, and medical personnel working in the Greater Houston area. We ask for Your supernatural protection and influence in and over their lives. If they do not know You, we ask that they come to know You, and boldly honor You in their daily lives. Thank You, Lord, that they are handpicked by You for Your glory. Order their steps and days, causing them to be at the right place at the right time able to be used by You to minister to others. Protect and heal their soul from the traumas they encounter and have encountered. We pray that they will keep their perceptions and expectations of life aligned with Your heart. We pray that they will not carry any false burdens or responsibilities but they will give You all burdens and take upon Your yoke because according to Matthew 11:13, Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light. We speak peace, blessings and protection over all the service pro-fessionals in our community. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Businesses in Greater HoustonLord, we desire Jesus to be King over the Greater Houston area. We pray for a repentance to spark a revival to influence Greater Houston’s businesses, banking, medicine, technology and other industries. We declare 2 Thessalonians 3:1-4, “Pray for us that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you. The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.” Father, we ask You to let Your word run swiftly throughout businesses, the banking industry, and the entire sector of businesses throughout Greater Houston, that Your name would be glorified through Godly businesses that are full of integrity. We ask for Your national and interna-tional influencers in Houston, Your consecrated ones, to bring Your increase and influence from the states and nations they travel to and from into Houston, influencing the seemingly unreachable in the high levels of influential business to bring commerce into Houston. We ask for the natural and supernatural resources to come from both far and near into our city. Lord, as You bring revival, we thank You that You will establish these Godly businesses and You will guard them from any plans the enemy has against them. We declare Your Word will run swiftly throughout these business dis-tricts as You bring revival and transformation to our city! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Harvest of Souls Lord, I come before You this day thanking You for salvation. Thank You that You loved me so much that You sent Your Son Jesus to die for the remission of my sins. Thank You, Lord, for the new cov-enant that was established in the precious blood of Jesus. Thank You, Lord, that my eternity has been secured. Lord, Your Son didn’t die for just me alone. Jesus’ blood paid the price for all. Every-one now has the opportunity to receive this priceless gift of eternal life, which can only be found in Christ; yet many do not know or believe in Your love or this gift. Forgive us, Lord, for not pro-claiming the Good News of Your Son. We repent, Lord, for having closed mouths by refraining from telling others how they might be saved. We repent, Lord, for not demonstrating Your love by reach-ing out to those in need as a tangible expression of Your love for them. Lord, so many are lost and on a path of destruction that will ultimately lead to an eternity of hopelessness, agony and despair. They may not know or understand that they need You but we do. We know their time is short and that there is only a short window of time that they are given to make the right decision before their time here on earth ends. Lord, increase the urgency in our spirits to proclaim the Gospel. Remove all fear and obstacles out of our way so we can bring hope to the hopeless. Lord, in Matthew 5:8 it says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Lord, revive us that our hearts would be pure, and that we would truly see You! And as we see You, that You would cause our hearts to be filled with a passion to see people saved. We know the desire of Your heart is that none should perish, so open the eyes of our hearts that we might know who You really are so that we can tell the unreached. Father of Glory, we ask You out of Ephesians 1:17-18 to, “pour out a Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You” so as we know You, we can share who You really are with others. You can do all things and reach all people so we ask You, Lord, to pour out Your Spirit on the unreached peoples all across the globe. Reveal this man, Christ Jesus to them! Pour out Your Spirit on all flesh. Draw them to You so that they might be saved! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Kingdom FinanciersLord, it says in 1 John 3:17, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Lord, we confess that we have seen people in need and showed no mercy when mercy could have been extended. Lord, forgive us for our lack of compassion. We repent for not doing unto others what we would like done unto us. We repent from collecting our treasures in earthly storehouses and not dispensing to those in need when in need. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we didn’t allow You to extend Your love through us to help someone in need. Lord, help us to be good stewards of what You have entrust-ed to us. Thank You, Lord, for the wealth of resources and finances You have placed into the hands of some of Your children. We pray that they will be found trustworthy and that they will distribute resources within Your Kingdom as directed by You. Lord, we pray that You would raise up Kingdom entrepreneurs and financiers in Greater Houston to fund efforts by Your people to advance Your Kingdom in Greater Houston. Thank You, Lord, for always providing in the times of plenty and in the times of lack. You are faithful and have never left nor forsaken us. Thank You for Your perfect timing in the release of provision when it is needed so that we are able to fulfill the vision, call, and mandates on our lives, and minis-try for Your glory, and Jesus’ name. We declare that we will not cling to things that we possess but that we will cling to You, our All Sufficient God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Israel and AmericaLord, we declare Your Word in Zechariah 2:8, “For thus says the LORD of Hosts: He sent me after glory to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His Eye.” As Your Eye is on Israel, You are also watching the nations who contend with him. We repent Lord for the times our nation was at odds with Israel. For the times we spoke against Israel and the times we did not support them in their time of need, we ask forgiveness. We thank You, Lord, that through Your goodness and mercy, America’s relationship and support of Israel has been restored and that we now stand proudly and boldly with Israel. Papa, You esteem truth (Exodus 18:21) and it is Your desire that we dwell in unity (Psalms 133:1) so we ask for a truthful and honorable relationship be-tween our President Donald Trump and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu as we declare in the name of Jesus that no weapon formed against the bond of these two nations will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). May those who have the ear of these men, speak the principles of Your Word (Deu-teronomy 7:12-16). As the world watches may our two nations declare loudly there is only ONE God, Yahweh (Mark 12:32). Return to the LORD. Know that Jesus is the Messiah and it is in His Name that we pray for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem (Psalms 122:6). We declare that the United States of America is one nation UNDER GOD. May the United States of America and her people always have Israel’s back! In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Fresh EncountersLord, Your Word says in Psalm 112:1, “Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments.” Lord, so many of Your children are not delighting in You. Forgive us, Lord, for taking our focus off of You and focusing on the world and the things of the world. Forgive us, Lord, for allowing fear and doubt to captivate our thoughts and time. We repent, Lord, for allowing distractions to cause us to lose our focus and our way. Lord, we want to delight in You. We want to stand in awe of who You are, the God Almighty. Revive us, oh Lord, that we might rejoice in Thee again (Psalm 85:6). Heavenly Father, we pray not only for ourselves but we pray for people of all backgrounds and circumstances across the Greater Houston area to have fresh encounters with You. We ask You to send Your ministering angels to speak and minister to them. We pray that they will experience Your love in a tangible way. In the name of Jesus, we decree that the light of God’s fire burns up the darkness around them, and that the light of God’s instruction clarifies and purifies their souls. In the name of Jesus, we decree their deliverance from the bondage of sin and that You, Father, bring light to overcome darkness, restoration for relationships, provision for financial needs, comfort for those who mourn or are distressed, and freedom from fear and anxiety. We thank You, Lord, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper and that You would cause the enemy to cease from operating in their lives. We declare the blessings of the Lord over their homes, families, and businesses, and we ask that You make it known to them that it is You who have done these things on their behalf that You may rightfully be glorified. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proclaiming The WordLord, it is written in Psalm 42:1, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God”. Lord, many of us have not been thirsty or hungry. We have not been longing for You. We have not spent a lot of time in Your presence or in Your Word. Forgive us, Lord, for not giving You the time or attention You so rightly deserve. We repent of allowing people or things to come before You, our Great Lord and Redeemer. Lord, renew our passion and zeal for You. Refresh our hearts. Create a bold desire and an insatiable hunger for the unhindered truth and simplicity of Your Word, not only in Your people, but in the lost people of Greater Houston. Let the lost in Houston be spiritually ripe, ready, and hungry to receive You and Your Word like the eunuch You sent to Phillip in Acts 8. Lord, thank You for being faithful to Your promise to write Your Word on our hearts, and that the Holy Spir-it would remind us of all Jesus has said. Thank You for an outpouring of hunger for Your Word and a supernatural boldness to declare Your Word—in the highways and byways of Greater Houston. Let bold proclamation of Your Word take place in Houston, from the governmental offices, on the air-waves and down to the street corners! Open all deaf ears and hearts to hear Your Word, in and from Greater Houston. We declare that Houston shall be Saved. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Responding to the CallLord, thank You for preparing and equipping Your body to be the salt and light in the earth and giving us the ability through words and works to proclaim Your goodness and Your love. We thank You, Lord, for having plans for each and every one of us as stated in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Forgive us, Lord, for the times we didn’t trust Your plan or respond to Your call. We repent, Lord, for not running our race in such a way that is pleasing unto You. Forgive us, Lord, for those times we have been stagnated and lost our focus. Lord, we pray that we would be a peo-ple of purity and holiness— consecrated and sold out for You. We come into agreement with the plans You have for us and declare Your plans as good. We declare that Your grace is sufficient for us to finish our race well. Thank You, Father, for having trained people in private for what You have for them publicly. We pray that they would not be fearful of or manipulated by the enemy public-ly. We pray that they would be willing to be available to You, abandoned to Your desires, and still able to enjoy Your blessings in their heart’s desires. Thank you for the Godly leaders and teachers that represent You well. We pray that You will continue to use them for Your glory and that they will endure in You until the end. We declare that we will finish our race and we will finish well. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Fruit and Gifts of the Holy SpiritLord, we thank You for not leaving us comfortless when Your Beloved Son, Jesus, ascended into Heaven who now sits at Your right hand enthroned as Lord, King and High Priest who intercedes for us. We thank You, Lord, for the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth who guides us into all truth (John 16:13). You promised that He would come and He did! He now lives inside of us and because of that we are never alone! Lord, when He came, He did not come empty-handed but He came with Your gifts. Thank You, Lord, for the fruit of Your spirit that now dwells in everyone who believes. Lord, You instructed us to bear fruit and You have enabled us to do so through Your Spirit. Thank You for this rich deposit of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, kindness, temperance (Galatians 5:22-23). We repent of the times we choose to be unfruitful. We repent for our times of corrupt behavior. Forgive us for the times our behaviors do not exemplify Godly character. In times of adversity, help us to remember who we are and what we carry. May our God-ly character continue to shine forth even in the midst of testing, trials and tribulations. Thank You, Lord, for the many gifts You have bestowed on us. Father God, according to 2 Timothy 1:6, we are to “Stir up the gift of God which is in us!” Lord, would You send revival and stir up our gifts that you have deposited in us for Your glory? Lord, we pray that You would cause our gifts to flow like rivers! Lord, would you fan them into full flame again? Lord, we pray that You would reignite a fire in us! And when You do, may we use our gifts for Your glory! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Finances for the Furtherance of the GospelFather, we thank You for every blessing and every good and perfect gift that has come from You. For-give us, Lord, for the times we have been ungrateful for what You have provided. Forgive us, Lord, for not recognizing every blessing that You have bestowed on us. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we cursed what was a blessing that was given by You. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we have been unfaithful stewards of the possessions You entrusted to us. Forgive us, Lord, when we expect pay-ment in return for time or finances we have given to others. We repent, Lord, for our distrust in You, our ungratefulness and our unfaithfulness. We say that You are a Good God. You are our Provider. You are our source and resource. You are everything that we need. In You there is no lack. All things can be found in You. And we thank You for being All-Sufficient. We thank You that we can always call upon Your name and that You will answer. Thank You, Lord! Lord, we ask for Your continued mer-cy and blessings on Your children. We ask that You unlock provision and finances for Your church. Deuteronomy 8:18, “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives power to get wealth, that He may establish his covenant which He swore to your fathers…” Lord, You desire for the Good News of Your Son, Jesus Christ to be preached unto the uttermost parts of the earth so, Lord, we ask for finances to fund all the Kingdom activity that is needed to extend our reach unto the uttermost. We know that wealth is to be used to fund the work of the Kingdom so we ask You, Lord, to give to those who can be good and faithful stewards who can be entrusted to give to others who will use it to labor in the fields. Lord, we thank You that Your plans are bigger than what we can plan, see, think or imagine. We thank You that You desire to bring transformational revival that impacts entire cultures and nations for You desire that no man perish. Lord, we pray that our desires would be the same as Your desires. We thank You, Lord, that You are the God who provides. Thank You for providing for and funding all the works that You desire to be done on the earth. We trust You, Lord, and thank You for finances. We declare according to Psalm 34:10 that those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Church InfluenceThank You, Lord, for translating us out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light. Lord, we pray that You would cause Your Church to arise in purity, operating as the unified Church in Greater Houston. Lord, we pray that You would open doors that would allow members of Your body to occupy positions in government and other areas where they can influence Godly change and transformation according to Your will. Lord, we pray that You would release favor upon these men and women of God and that they would have the passion and boldness to stand in the midst of darkness for righteousness and justice. Let the decisions or laws enforced from these positions, hon-or and reflect that Jesus is King in Greater Houston. We pray, Lord, that Your Church would go into the world and be the light in every area in which they have influence. We repent, Lord, for the times that we did not stand in the midst of darkness and for the times that we remained silent when we should have spoken. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we hid our light so that the world could not see. Lord, we know that our help comes from You so we ask You to help us to always stand even in the midst of persecution and darkness. We declare that You are for us, You are on our side and because of that, victory is ours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.Scripture References: Isaiah 45:1; Matthew 5:16; Romans 13:12; Ephesians 6:11-13character. In times of adversity, help us to remember who we are and what we carry.

Strategic PlansOh, merciful God. How great thou art! You are my Lord and my Redeemer. You are great and great-ly to be praised. Oh Lord, how excellent is Your name. Marvelous are Your works and perfect are Your ways. You are the God of my salvation and it is You in whom I trust. Thank You, Lord, for be-ing good to me. Glory be to Your name. Lord, it says in James 1:5-8, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you but when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world and they are unstable in everything they do.” Lord, forgive us for the times we did not come to You for guidance. Lord, forgive us for the times we didn’t seek You in all our ways, for the times we failed to acknowledge You as the Lord of our lives. Forgive us, Lord, for relying on our own human reasoning and un-derstanding. We repent, Lord, for devising our own plans and strategies without seeking Your Kingdom and Your righteousness first. We repent over our pride that says we can do it without the help of the Lord. Lord, we declare that we need You. We need Your help. We need Your wisdom. We need Your guidance. We need You to lead us in the way we should go. Lord, we humbly come before You, asking You for wisdom. Lord, we need Your wisdom on how to conduct business, how to manage our finances and our household, how to minister to others, how to impact our city and nation, how to glorify You and so much more. Lord, grant us wisdom. Grant us Your strategies on how You would want us to impact the Greater Houston area. Lord, it says in Isaiah 55:9 that Your ways are not like our ways and Your thoughts are not our thoughts. Help us to remember that. Help us to remember that Your thoughts are right and Your ways are perfect. Remove every hindrance or obstacle that would cause us not to believe and trust in You. Remove all fear and doubt that would cause us not to move forward with strategies that You release to us. We thank You, Lord, that You are willing and more than able to show us the way! Lord, order our steps and have Your way. Let Your strategies come forth! Reveal to us Your ways and we will follow You, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Impacting SocietyLord, we come before You today blessing Your Holy name. Thank You for being a God of mercy and love. We declare Psalm 86:10, “For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.” We thank You for the privilege of being able to intercede for others. Lord, we come be-fore You this day to pray that Your Spirit will influence government, businesses, schools, churches, homes, media and all other areas of society. We pray that You will give Your people new, creative solutions and innovations that would cause our influence in business, medicine, science and tech-nology to expand. Lord, we pray according to Ephesians 3:16-19, “that the Lord, would grant you according to the riches of glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God,”. Lord, cause us to be so in love with You that we cannot help but obey Your Word, honor kingdom principles and live it out wherever we are. Lord, cause others to see the light in us that they yearn to be light themselves. Lord, cause us to make decisions in the workplace and at home according to Your will and Your Word. Lord, cause us to stand for our rights to live out our faith. Lord, we pray for the ability to live out our faith openly and publicly everywhere we may go. We pray, Lord, that Your Word would be known and taught in the home, the school house, the White House and everywhere in between. In the name of Jesus, we declare that righteousness would pre-vail in the earth. We declare that Your righteousness would arise over every arena in the Houston region. We declare that Your love will be established in every arena and that we will be rooted and grounded in love and in You. Lord, You raised up a standard. Help us to live by it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

School CampusesLord, we thank You for this brand-new day that You have made and that You have allowed for us to wake up, see and experience it. Today will never be repeated so thank You, Lord for allowing me to be in the land of the living yet once again. I declare over my life, in the name of Jesus, what You said about me in Psalm 91:6, “With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Thank You, Lord, for Your promise of long life. Lord, we come to You, asking that Your Spirit would influ-ence our schools and colleges so that they may know You and glorify You. We pray according to 2 Thessalonians 3:1 that, “…The word of the Lord would run swiftly and be glorified…” in our schools. Lord, we pray that You would reveal truth and expose the anti-christ spirit of this age to the stu-dents and staff. Protect them and surround them with Your angels. Lord, we ask that You cancel out the plans of the enemy which means to harm and destroy. We ask for You to protect them phys-ically, spiritually and emotionally and to open their eyes to Jesus, who is The Truth. We pray that both the students and the staff will be rooted and established in You and that You will guard them from all evil. Lord, we ask that You “Direct their hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ,” according to 2 Thessalonians 3:5. Lord, we ask that You embolden and empower those that are Yours on the school campuses to proclaim the Good News to students and teachers alike. Lord, we ask that You send revival onto our school and college campuses and that the main courses and curriculums taught are pertaining to the things of God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Welcoming the King of GloryOh, King of kings and Lord of lords, we welcome You into our city. We open our city to the King of Glory and ask You, oh Lord, to come into and through the Port of Houston. “Lift up your heads, oh you gates! Be lifted up, ancient doors, so the King of Glory may come in. Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, oh you gates! Be lifted up, ancient doors, so the King of Glory may come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of the heavenly armies He is the King of Glory.” (Psalm 24:7-10) Lord, we stand and say, “Come in, King of Glory.” We declare to those in the Port Authority, those in the petrochemical companies of the Hous-ton region to lift up your heads and let the King of Glory come in. Father, open hearts to receive the counsel of heaven. Open hearts to receive the wisdom from above that is pure and peaceable. Come in, King of Glory, with Your influence on those in leadership, those in the workforce, in the refineries and plants, and those in authority. We declare and decree, that You let Your Kingdom of Righteousness flood the Houston Ship Channel, the Port of Houston, the companies and corpora-tions, and the governing bodies of the region. Let righteousness rule and reign in every decision, every transaction, every import and every export. Come in, King of Glory, and surround the port with Your shield, protecting from all harm and every plan of the enemy. Surround the region with heavenly armies, Lord of Hosts. Father, strengthen the believers in this industry by the power of Your Spirit in their inner man. But do not let them grow weary in doing good. Guard their hearts and minds in Christ. Thank you, Lord, for Your protection and intervention for all imports and exports in Greater Houston. We ask You Lord to protect our city and all those that live here. We ask You Lord to not allow any illegal activity, cargo, or personnel meaning harm to come into our city. We ask that any person or cargo with malicious or nefarious intent, be exposed and dealt with according to our established laws. We pray for the salvation of their souls and that You would use them for Your glory. We say let Your Kingdom come in the offices, the refineries, the plants, the ships, and the waterways of the Houston Ship Channel. King of Glory, come in. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Revival for the Survival of the USALord, we come in agreement with Psalm 8:3-4 yet we stand in awe and wonder as well, for it says, “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” Lord, according to Matthew 5:34-35, Heaven is Your throne and Earth is Your footstool yet in all Your greatness You are mindful of us and the things that concern us. Lord, Your love is truly unfathom-able. When I think of my weaknesses, my mistakes, my failures and the many times I’ve sinned and fallen short yet You still forgave me – it makes me wonder what manner of God this is that we serve. How great, wide and deep is this love that You have for us? You are the God of all eternity yet You’ll step into time to demonstrate Your love to us. It boggles my mind but, Lord, I do thank You. Thank You, Lord, for never giving up on me. Lord, no matter how far I’ve fallen, You always lift me up. I am always in Your presence, even when I don’t want to be, You still see me. Thank You, Lord, that You are not a god of abandonment. You are Jehovah Shammah, the God who is there. You are always there. Thank You, Lord!

Lord, we thank You for Revival for the Survival of the USA. Lord, we pray that Your will be done and that You have Your way. We pray, Lord, that people will be saved, healed and delivered as they call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. We pray, Lord, that hearts and lives will be transformed through Your power and by Your Spirit. We pray, Lord, that You will remove all hindrances and obstacles that would attempt to delay or stop Revival4Survival from going forward. We pray, Lord, that everything will go according to plan and that the simulcast and live-streaming would extend throughout the nation and overflow into other nations. We pray, Lord, that there will be sufficient resources for this day and the days to come. We pray, Lord, that every person involved with this gathering, would walk in humility and serve in the capacity in which they were assigned. We pray, Lord, that the only name that will be exalted and lifted high on that day is the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray, Lord, that everyone participating either in person, over the radio airwaves or through broadcasting would be in agreement, having the same mind and be in one accord as we worship, pray, repent over the sins committed in this land. We ask that You, Lord, would send the revival that we desperately need. Lord, cause us to see our condition and the condition of our nation. Cause us to see why we need to repent over our own sins and the sins of others. Cause us to see why we need You to intervene by sending revival. Cause us to cry out and weep between the porch and the altar. We repeat what Your people said in Joel 2:17, “Spare thy people, O LORD”. Lord, we need You to come. We need Revival for the Survival of the USA. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Thank you for answering the call to be an intercessor for the Revival4Survival, and for standing in the gap for Greater Houston, our state, our national and beyond. Your prayers have been gath-ered in bowls in Heaven.

God has expanded the influence of R4S through livestreaming it around the globe, it’s also being carried on the short-wave radio collection WRNO “The Good News Radio Network” that reaches up to 1.6 billion listeners in every time zone in the world, and in many countries that are closed to Christian missionaries. God’s Will prevails, and He is on the move!

We look forward to you joining us on 10-10 at Constellation Field in Sugar Land, as we cry out to the Lord, praise and worship Him during this gathering, and hope you will continue to join in as we launch outreach and discipleship projects going forward until the Revival breaks out and we reach the lost for Jesus. May God bless you!

THANK YOU
