Prayer Guide for March and April
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO LOSE HEART!
“The story of your life is the story of the long and brutal assault on your heart by the one who knows what you could be and fears it.” ‘Waking the Dead’ John Eldredge
Let us pray this month that the Body of Christ may be reminded that they are a people of destiny and that each has a unique part to play in God’s scheme of things in the area He has placed them. May they be assured that while the battle around them is fierce, they will not lose heart and that we win!
PRAY THAT FAITH WILL ARISE AND FEAR DEFEATED
“And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. ”Psalm 9:10. “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.” Psalm 56:3
In this time ‘when men’s hearts are failing them for fear’ of unemployment, insufficient funds, health issues, of what is happening to their children’s education, etc. God’s people will rise in faith to the challenge of the hour and let their light shine before men.
Let’s keep praying and declaring the scriptures that God has given us for the Valley
Isaiah 40 v 1-5
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill brought low, the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth, the glory of the lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’
Psalm 84:5-7
Blessed in the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage as they pass through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring, the rain also covers it with pools and they go from strength to strength each one appears before God in Zion.
Hos 2:14-17 -
Behold I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness and speak comfort to her, I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor as a door of hope, she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she cam up from the land of Egypt.
2 Kings 3:15-18 -
Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him. 16 And he said, "Thus says the Lord: 'Make this valley full of ditches.' 17 For thus says the Lord: 'You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.' 18 And this is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord;
Let’s declare God’s heartbeat for the Valley
Vision for the Valley of Praise - An Earth Gate – A Sound Portal
I see the Valley as a ‘Thin place’ – like Iona – Lindisfarne – like Sinai where Moses and later Elijah encountered God, a thin place where there is little barrier between heaven and earth.
A portal – a window – a gate of heaven – a vortex of God’s blessing.
When Jacob met with God at Bethel and saw the angels ascending and descending, he said “This is the house of God the gate of heaven”
People will move house into this Valley and turn to God in a way they could never do before they moved here.
People will move here and get healed, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Marriages will be restored.
Visitors to this area will have visions and dreams. They will come in depressed and go out rejoicing. They will come in weary and go out refreshed and invigorated.
They will come lacking direction and they will go away with clear sense of God’s purposes for them and with a clear vision of how to go about the Father’s business. Young people will know to which university to make application.
The Valley will be like the land of Goshen that missed the Egyptian plagues Ex. 8:22, business will move to the valley to prosper.
In the valley people will find it easier to worship. There will be a freedom of praise and worship in the churches not found elsewhere.
The incidence of promiscuity, addictions and crime will fall – education and business will thrive.
There will be more singing, laughing and whistling than anywhere else in the UK and the blessing of God will flow out of the valley like a river into the Aylesbury Vale, London and to the nations.
There will be a fecundity that will birth many new Kingdom ministries and businesses and there will be an acceleration of God’s purposes on the earth.
IS ALL THIS REALLY POSSIBLE? CAN THIS BE? IS THIS JUST CRAZY TALK? Silly day dreaming? A laughable idea?
WITH GOD THE IMPOSSIBLE DOES NOT EXIST! “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:10
JESUS taught us to pray, “Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”
This Valley is the piece of geography that God has called us to pray heaven down.
