Day 12 - Prayer For Your Spouse

Today is the day you pray for your spouse. Whether they’re in your life or not, pray for them! Take this time to lift your husband or wife up to the Lord. If there’s unforgiveness in your life, prayer and fasting will do you no good. Mark 11:25 says “But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.” Your prayers will be ineffective if you’re harboring a grudge against anyone INCLUDING your spouse!

Scripture:

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.

— Matt. 19:4-6

Prayer and Confession:

“Father I lift up _______(His or Her name or simply “My spouse”) to you today.  I pray for your blessing to be upon them. Every attack on their health, let it be frustrated right now! Let every plan the enemy has for their life be cut off in Jesus Name! Everything that would try to separate this marriage, I come against it by your power! Pour out your blessing upon their life like never before. Let your peace and joy abound in their life. Protect them when they come in and when they go out. Father, let your perfect will be done in their life. I choose to love them and forgive them. Help me be a better wife/husband to them in Jesus Name! Thank you for making 2017 the best year of our marriage!”

Do Something:

Have you told your spouse you love them? Tell them! Have you done something to show them you love them? Do it! Ask the Holy Spirit to show you ways to show your appreciation to them. If your spouse is not saved, pray for them and invite them to church. If they say 'no', show them MORE love. It’s the goodness of God that draws men to repentance. You must do all you can to protect your marriage! Don’t speak badly about your spouse to anyone. Take all of your concerns to God. Don’t forget to make time to praise God for a healthy marriage, even if you’re doing it in faith! This year will be the best year of your marriage in Jesus Name!

Day 10 - An Open Heaven Over My Finances

 

The Bible requires activation! The Word of God is something you can adhere to and trust if you activate it by doing what it says. Like all things in the scripture, your finances must be activated by your faith! Mark 10:29-30 says “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.” What you give will multiply in your life! 

Most people look at what they give as a subtraction mark on their finances when, really, it should be viewed as a multiplication symbol! Tithing is something the Word instructs us to do. It’s NOT an option, it’s a requirement. Anything that destroys or devours your finances will be cut off when you give what the Word instructs you to give (Malachi 3:11). When you tithe, God destroys the devour, it’s a promise! No more cars breaking down, no more unforeseen problems, just blessing upon blessing!  We must wrap our faith around what we give and expect God’s multiplication to return. Remember, only what you believe in is required to work for you! If you don’t believe in the 100 fold return, it won’t come back to you! 

Scripture:

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!
— Malachi 3:10

 

Prayer and Confession:

“Father I thank you that in 2017 You’ll open the windows of heaven for ME in my finances! I will do what your Word says! I will give my tithes and I won’t withhold my offerings. I will give it to you joyfully. I will give it to you without feeling pressure. I will obey your voice and do my part! I will activate my faith for the hundred fold return to be able to do more this year than I’ve done in my entire lifetime! I call forth that hundred fold return! I call forth promotion in my field of work. I call forth inheritances and checks that have been held back from me. The devourer is cut off from my life! Lack is a thing of the past! This year will be one to remember, In Jesus Name!”

Do Something:

Has God told you to give something? Give it! If you haven't done so already, make this year a year where you partner up with a ministry. Make giving a WEEKLY habit. If you put the Kingdom of God first, ALL THINGS WILL ADDED TO YOU (Matt. 6:33). 

Day 2 - Destruction Over The Adversary Of Promotion

For too long God’s people have been pushed to the side. Things have been the same in every area of our lives year after year. This stagnation ended in 2016! Let us believe God for the unbelievable. Remember, it's not about having more, it’s about DOING more. 2017 will be a year where we’ll have the greatest impact on a world that’s hurting and dying. 

How will you be able to help those around you when you’re going through the same mess? It ends today! No more battling the same sickness, no more chaos, no more financial struggle. You will be an example of why it pays to serve God in this generation. You will be the one people look at as a model of success. The demon who’s blocking your promotion is destroyed TODAY! In Jesus name!

Scripture:

There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy,
the shields and swords and weapons of war. Interlude

You are glorious and more majestic
than the everlasting mountains.

Our boldest enemies have been plundered.
They lie before us in the sleep of death.
No warrior could lift a hand against us.

At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob,
their horses and chariots lay still.


— Psalm 76:3-6

Prayer & Confession:

“I thank you, Lord, that even right now you’re doing many things that will give many people a reason to give you Glory! I thank you that in the midst of people mocking and hating Christianity, you make me stand out as an example of success to this generation. Every blockage, every hinderance, everything that would slow me down is DESTROYED by your Power. I thank you, Lord, for your hand in my life and the lives of my family. Thank you for doing something this year that goes far beyond our wildest expectations. I WILL BELIEVE IN YOUR WORD. I will ask you for the impossible because, with YOU, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. In Jesus precious Name!

Do Something:

Pray for that thing you think is an impossibility. Ask God to remove every bit of doubt and fear that hinders you from thinking and asking BIG.  Now, write those things down with today’s date. Put on your dancing shoes and praise God for those things in advance. #downpraisement

Day 1 - No Ups And Downs

 


Starting the year off with prayer and fasting is an absolute must for every believer who wants their upcoming year to be consecrated and reserved for God’s presence. For the next 21 days, we will be praying specific points directly from the Word of God over our lives and family. 
That “new year, new you” policy is hogwash if you have no intention of DOING something to change. Most people will buy a journal, jot down the things they want to see changed, then do nothing (and I mean NOTHING) about it throughout the year. Don’t be that person. In this time of prayer and fasting, God will speak to YOU! He’ll tell you things to change, things to do, people to avoid and people to cling on to. Listen to His voice then DO WHAT HE SAYS. Things won’t progress in your life until you do the last thing God told you to do. He wants to speak to YOU. He wants to give YOU a message. He wants to direct YOUR steps. Too many people do what other people are doing instead of listening to God’s voice for their life. Take these next few weeks to hear what God is saying to you.

Here is a guide for your 21 days of prayer and fasting. Read the Scripture, pray the prayer and finish it by praising and thanking God for it. Don’t forget to write down the things God is saying to you! If you stick with this plan, 2017 will be a guaranteed success. In Jesus name! 


Scripture:

I will teach you wisdom’s ways
and lead you in straight paths.

When you walk, you won’t be held back;
when you run, you won’t stumble.

Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.
Guard them, for they are the key to life.

— Proverbs 4:11-13

 

Prayer & Confession:

“Father, allow me to hear your voice clearly this year. Speak to me and show me what I should do. Let your wisdom leads me on a straight path. I will never be confused again. I won’t go to the left. I won’t go to the right. I’ll go on the straight path you’ve created for me to go on. Thank you for your help. Thank you for speaking to me. Thank you that I’ll make progress every day this year. I will have no setbacks. There will be no speed bumps. Thank you for explosive progress! In Jesus name!”

Do something:

What is God telling you to do? Write it down and make plans to start ASAP. Don’t forget to thank Him for the blueprint for 2017. Do a little dance in advance!
