There are a number of urgent calls to prayer and fasting circulating on behalf of critically important, current, and specific issues occurring in our nation and beyond in this season. As the Body of Christ, we need to stand watch, stay alert, be continually informed, and be seeking the Lord of Heaven and Earth in prayer for His strategies that will bring Heaven’s answers to Earth in these days we are living in. We are called to pray His Kingdom to come and His will to be done in every situation presented through these alerts, and in whatever circumstances the Lord brings to mind through time spent in His presence.

Specifically seek to be informed via websites such as Generals International (Cindy and Mike Jacobs: www.generals.org), Glory of Zion International (Chuck Pierce: www.gloryofzion.org), and the United States Reformation Prayer Network (USRPN National level: www.generals.org/prayer/rpn and state level(s): MN/RPN www.calltothewall.org), to name only a few. An important and Urgent Call to Prayer: Signs of the Times came out today, September 20, on www.elijahlist.com, from Lou Engle (please don’t delay in checking out the details on this alert because it pertains to this week: September 21-25). Prayer and fasting for the 40 Days for Life campaign begins in the midst of this prayer alert as well.

The Body of Christ as a whole can no longer be silent, nor can we delegate prayer to those few devoted and committed prayer warriors in our churches, or to those who attend local houses of prayer. We cannot put off until tomorrow that which the Lord has set before us to do today! We urge you to please get connected and unite as a multi-generational Body of Christ, and truly begin to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). It’s time to get our children and youth involved in prayer on behalf of something bigger than themselves. Many of these current prayer issues will impact them directly. It is time to unite, to rise up and to be the Church that Jesus Christ died and was resurrected for, putting faith into action through the power of the Holy Spirit, through the power of the blood of Christ, and through the power of His Word.

The Scripture verse on our Home Page the day I wrote this article (verses we daily subscribe to rather than select ourselves) was, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” Matthew 18:20. It is not a coincidence I was prompted to write this article on the same day Matthew 18:20 was the selected Scripture verse! His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). We don’t have to understand; only have faith to believe that prayer changes things (James 3:17). It’s time to believe the truth of the Word of God and come together as His Body, the Body of Christ, in unity with each other and with the Father’s heart, to pray (Unity in Christ transcends all cultural, denominational, or generational barriers of any and every kind!). Who knows if you have come to the Kingdom “for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14).
