PART 1 DAY 1-18 - https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/21-days-of-prayer-fasting-from-monday-10th-to-sunday-30th-of-august-2026

Day 19 the 28th of August 2026: READ THE WHOLE OF JOHN CHAPTER 19

(Read Either as an individual, family or church and then read the questions that you can reflect and discuss as well as read the Revival thoughts for each day)

THINGS TO PONDER:

In today's chapter about the crucifixion of Jesus, we are told of four specific prophecies, or predictions, that came true about Him.

When soldiers gambled for Jesus' clothes, this was a fulfillment of Psalm 22:18. When Jesus says, "I thirst," in verse 28 and given sour wine, this is a fulfillment of Psalm 69:21. Verse 37 is a fulfillment of Zechariah 12:10: "They will look … on him whom they have pierced" (ESV), referring to the soldier who stabbed Jesus in the side with a spear.

But the most significant fulfillment of prophecy is in verse 36 where it mentions that none of Jesus' bones were broken. Exodus 12:46 says, "you shall not break any of its bones." At first, this does not sound like a prophecy at all. It is talking about how to prepare the Passover lamb. The lamb itself was to be a perfect one with no spots or blemishes. And when it was killed, its blood was to be spread on the doorposts of the house. On the original Passover, an angel from God went throughout Egypt. In any house that did not have blood on the doorposts, the firstborn was killed. The blood of the lamb was the symbol of God's redemption and protection.

Jesus was the Passover lamb for the world. His blood has redeemed us from hell and the consequences of our sins. All we need to do is believe.

REVIVAL THOUGHTS FOR TODAY:

1936 – June: Gahini, Rwanda (East African Revival)

Evangelical Anglican missionaries of the Church Missionary Society working in the east-central Africa countries of Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, emphasized the Keswick teaching of new birth, being filled with the Holy Spirit and living in victory. This teaching undergirded the East African Revival which continued for fifty years from the 1930s.  Roy Hession’s famous book, The Calvary Road, came out of his experience of the East African Revival.

The Rwanda mission, founded in 1920, experienced local revivals in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Increasingly people prayed. By 1936 thousands were praying.

Then powerful revival broke out at the mission station at Ghini in Rwanda on Wednesday 24 June 1936. “It seemed as though the Holy Spirit with His unseen hand gathered together the hospital staff, men from the nearby village, and others in a room with the hospital. They prayed and sang, and some were smitten down under a tremendous conviction of sin. Revival swept into the girl’s school, and similar manifestations came from five different centers across the mission. Everywhere the mysterious power of the Holy Spirit was at work.”

The revival spread to the theological college where 50 students caught fire. During the mid-year holiday period 70 evangelists travelled in revival teams of two or three into the villages.

The African Rwanda Mission had 20,000 converts by 1942 in 700 village congregations with 1,400 trained workers including five ordained priests.

The famous East African revival which began in Rwanda in June 1936 rapidly spread to the neighbouring countries of Burundi, Uganda and Congo, then further around. The Holy Spirit moved upon mission schools, spread to churches and to whole communities, producing deep repentance and changed lives. Anglican Archdeacon Arthur Pitt Pitts wrote in September, “I have been to all the stations where this Revival is going on, and they all have the same story to tell. The fire was alight in all of them before the middle of June, but during the last week in June, it burst into a wild flame which, like the African grass fire before the wind, cannot be put out.”

That East African revival continued for forty to fifty years and helped to establish a new zeal for enthusiastic holiness in African Christianity. It confronted demonic strongholds and began to prepare churches to cope with the horrors of massacres and warfare of later years.

Now revival is again transforming whole communities in East Africa.

Precious saints Jesus has called us to be His witnesses (Acts 1:8), and this is what He was talking about. A witness is one who reports on what he knows and has personally experienced. None but you can tell your story as a personal testimony. And when you are filled with His Holy Spirit, you will have power in your witness to Him.

Today, I want you to reflect on all the good things God has done for you. What changes has Christ worked in your life? How is your life different because you have known Christ? Where do you think you would be had you not placed your faith in Him? You can make a few notes in your prayer journal. If you are meeting with others in your family for this daily prayer and devotional time, share your stories with one another. Tell about His wonderful works in your behalf. Praise and thank Him together.

Let us pray saints:

1. Thank God for all the good things He has done for you. Be specific.

2. Pray today by name for a person who has yet to believe in Christ as Saviour. Pray also today for others you have listed down or recently prayed for.

3. Pray about when and how you will share your story with your people back home. Are there people who knew your “before Christ” story that you need to tell?

4. Every throne of witchcraft in our neighbourhoods be pulled down, in the name of Jesus.

5. Let the ground open and swallow every witchcraft throne hiding in the body of Christ, in the name of Jesus.

6. Every flying throne of witchcraft be cast down, in the name of Jesus.

7. Every throne of witchcraft set up against our enthronement; be demolished, in the name of Jesus.

Day 20 the 29th of August 2026: READ THE WHOLE OF JOHN CHAPTER 20

(Read Either as an individual, family or church and then read the questions that you can reflect and discuss as well as read the Revival thoughts for each day)

THINGS TO PONDER:

Normally, when a person dies and is laid to rest, you expect the story to end. But this is not a normal story, and Jesus was not a normal man. One of the first descriptions of Jesus in the Book of John was, "In him was life" (1:4, ESV). Throughout His ministry, Jesus restored many people to health and even brought the dead back to life. It comes as no surprise then that Jesus, life incarnate, could not stay dead.

John ends this chapter by telling us why he wrote his Gospel in the first place. "These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31).

This is not the first time in the Book of John that life is offered to those who believe in Jesus. But if Jesus had not been raised from the dead, those earlier promises would have meant nothing. Any man can promise your life and salvation, but only one Man proved that He had the power to give life. That man was Jesus, and death could not hold on to Him. It is because of that we can believe that He truly has the power to give eternal life to those who believe in Him.

If you have not made that choice yet, would you today? We have only one more day to go in our 21-Day Challenge. See you tomorrow.

REVIVAL THOUGHTS FOR TODAY:

1927 – February: Shanghai, China (John Sung)

John Sung (1901-1944), from Hinghwa of the Fukien province in southeast China, son of a Methodist minister, was converted at nine and studied in America from 1920 at Wesleyan University of Ohio, Ohio State University, where he gained his Doctor of Philosophy degree in chemistry, and at Union Theological Seminary.

On 10 February 1927, when a decade of revival was starting to break out in China, John Sung recommitted himself to Christ after a period of scepticism and was suddenly filled with the Holy Spirit and an inexpressible joy. Seminary authorities, concerned at his sudden fanaticism had him committed to an asylum where he had only his Bible and a fountain pen for six months. During that time, he read the Bible forty times.

He returned to China in October 1927, married, and soon became the field evangelist of the Bethel Bible School of Shanghai. He allied himself with Andrew Gih and other graduates from the school to form the Bethel Evangelistic Band. This apostolic team spread revival all over China. Although reserved, when preaching Sung was fervent with an intense emotion, denouncing sin and emphasizing repentance and restitution. His prophetic gifting often revealed specific sins or obstructions to faith. He laid hands on the sick and hundreds were healed in his meetings. Like other revivalists, he prayed long and earnestly.

God used this apostolic team mightily to spread the fires of revival all over China as they went out preaching and singing the gospel. When John Sung was not behind the pulpit, he was reserved and even subdued. However, when preaching he was a man of fervency and intense emotions.

He always emphasized repentance and the need for complete restitution where it was at all possible. He fearlessly denounced all sin and hypocrisy wherever he found it, especially among hardened ministers. Yet he also moved audiences with the message of Christ’s tender and unfailing love, as few others could. Sung’s meetings were always accompanied by a tremendous amount of conviction and brokenness over sin. It was not uncommon for hundreds of people to be seen with tears streaming down their faces and crying out for mercy. Convicted sinners frequently would rush forward to openly confess their sins before the whole congregation. On several occasions he pointed out the sins of some backslidden pastor with incredible and fearful accuracy.

When John Sung was not actively preaching or organizing a new evangelistic team, he usually could be found writing in his diary or adding to his ever-growing prayer list. He carefully prayed over an extensive list of people’s needs, with dozens of small photographs. John Sung was a faithful intercessor and always requested a small picture of those desiring prayer in order to help him intercede with a deeper burden.

Everywhere he went, he urged the people to give themselves to prayer.

John Sung made it his regular habit to be up every morning at 5 a.m. to pray for two or three hours. He believed that prayer was the most important work of the believer. He defined faith as watching God work while on your knees.

Because it was evident that John Sung was a man of great power in prayer, the sick and crippled increasingly came to him to receive prayer for their bodies. John Sung always made time to tenderly pray for their needs. Sometimes he would personally lay hands on and pray for as many as 500-600 people at one time. Although so many marvellous healings followed his ministry, he suffered for years from intestinal tuberculosis. This disease consistently plagued him with painful and infected bleeding ulcers in his colon. Nevertheless, he still continued to fervently preach, sometimes in a kneeling position to lessen the terrible pain. Finally, after years of suffering with this affliction, he died at only 43, on August 18, 1944.

Estimates of conversions in that decade of revival run to hundreds of thousands in China and South East Asia, with thousands of churches established throughout the whole region.

Precious saints your life is a living testimony of the power of the gospel. A sinful lifestyle or behaviour can bring shame and discredit the cause of Christ. But Christlike living can demonstrate the power of Christ to change lives and make the gospel appealing to others. The bible says those that hunger and thirst for righteousness shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6) Isaiah 44:3 “For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring;”

Therefore, as you pray and seek to reach out to those in your families and circles of influence, your life will be like a water jug. People who need Jesus Christ as Saviour are thirsting for the Living Water. When they look at Christ through your “glass-jug” life, will they be thirsty enough to drink? Will they see the pure, clean Water of Life and decide to drink deeply? Or will they see impurities and uncleanness that cause them to put off a decision for Jesus Christ? How clean is your water jug?

Let us Pray:

1. Ask God to reveal to you anything in your life that might hinder others from choosing to follow Him. Ask Him to enable you to live in such a way that others will want what they see in you—Living Water.

2. Ask God what He wants you to do today to apply what He has revealed. What actions will you take?

3. Let the throne of Jesus Christ be established in every area of my life, in the name le, of Jesus.

4. Let the thunder of God locate and dismantle the throne of witchcraft in our households.

5. Every throne that has exalted itself against my life, I cast you down, in the name of Jesus.

Day 21 the 30th of August 2026: READ THE WHOLE OF JOHN CHAPTER 21

(Read Either as an individual, family or church and then read the questions that you can reflect and discuss as well as read the Revival thoughts for each day)

THINGS TO PONDER:

OK, be honest. When you started this challenge, did you think you would make it to day 21? We are glad you stuck with it because you have taken a significant step toward making Bible reading a daily part of your life. Whether you feel it now or not, your time in the Word these last three weeks will prove in the future to have been time well spent.

We hope you have seen how the Word of God, the Book of John specifically, can apply to your life today. Here's a couple of those applications. First, Jesus is alive! That is something that is repeated every Easter, but let it sink in. Though Jesus is now in heaven with God, the Man that we read about who lived 2,000 years ago is still alive. He is still caring for those who love Him, and like we learned in chapter 17, He's still praying for us. (See Hebrews 7:25.)

Second, God has sent the Holy Spirit. We read in the Book of Acts about the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit arrived just as Jesus promised. That Spirit, in all of us who believe, is currently and daily carrying out the promises Jesus made, to teach us and to help us remember Jesus. Finally, Jesus has a promise waiting to be fulfilled. He promised He would come again so that we can be with Him where He is. (See John 14:3.) And that gives us hope.

It is our prayer that you will continue daily spending time in the Word and connecting with the God who was, who is and who is to come. God bless.

REVIVAL THOUGHTS FOR TODAY:

1949 – October: Hebrides Islands, Scotland (Duncan Campbell)

Following the trauma of World War II, spiritual life reached a low ebb in the Scottish Hebrides. By 1949 Peggy and Christine Smith (84 and 82) had prayed constantly for revival in their cottage near Barvas village on the Isle of Lewis, the largest of the Hebrides Islands in the bleak northwest of Scotland. God showed Peggy in a dream that revival was coming. Months later, early one winter’s morning as the sisters were praying, God give them an unshakeable conviction that revival was near.

Peggy asked her minister James Murray Mackay to call the church leaders to prayer. Three nights a week the leaders prayed together for months. One night, having begun to pray at 10 pm, a young deacon from the Free Church read Psalm 24 and challenged everyone to be clean before God. As they waited on God his awesome presence swept over them in the barn at 4 am Mackay invited Duncan Campbell (1898-1972) to come and lead meetings. Within two weeks he came. God had intervened and changed Duncan’s plans and commitments. At the close of his first meeting in the Presbyterian Church in Barvas the travel weary preacher was invited to join an all-night prayer meeting. Thirty people gathered for prayer in a nearby cottage. Duncan Campbell described it:

“God was beginning to move, the heavens were opening, we were there on our faces before God. Three o’clock in the morning came, and God swept in. About a dozen men and women lay prostrate on the floor, speechless. Something had happened; we knew that the forces of darkness were going to be driven back, and men were going to be delivered. We left the cottage at 3 am to discover men and women seeking God. I walked along a country road, and found three men on their faces, crying to God for mercy. There was a light in every home, no one seemed to think of sleep.”

When Duncan and his friends arrived at the church that morning it was already crowded. People had gathered from all over the island, some coming in buses and vans. No one discovered who told them to come. God led them. Large numbers were converted as God’s Spirit convicted multitudes of sin, many lying prostrate, many weeping. After that amazing day in the church, Duncan pronounced the benediction, but then a young man began to pray aloud. He prayed for 45 minutes. Once more the church filled with people repenting and the service continued till 4 am the next morning before Duncan could pronounce the benediction again.

Even then he was unable to go home to bed. As he was leaving the church a messenger told him, “Mr. Campbell, people are gathered at the police station, from the other end of the parish; they are in great spiritual distress. Can anyone here come along and pray with them?”

Campbell went and what a sight met him. Under the still starlit sky he found men and women on the road, others by the side of a cottage, and some behind a peat stack all crying to God for mercy. The revival had come.

His mission continued for five weeks. Services were held from early morning until late at night and into the early hours of the morning. The revival spread to the neighbouring parishes from Barvas with similar scenes of repentance, prayer and preaching. People sensed the awesome presence of God everywhere.

That move of God in answer to prevailing prayer continued in the area into the fifties and peaked again on the previously resistant island of North Uist in 1957. Meetings were again crowded and night after night people cried out to God for salvation.

The Hebrides revival, experienced in a Presbyterian context, illustrates how the impact of the Sprit floods and transcends any context. Campbell emphasised the importance of a baptism in the Spirit, as had been a common theme in the Welsh revival. May God send a powerful revival to all those that hunger for more of God today.

Precious saints If you have been fasting from food to seek the Lord in prayer for revival and awakening, you can identify with Jesus. The disciples were trying to get Him to eat, but He was preparing to reap a spiritual harvest of a city.

His food was to obey the will of His Father. Sometimes a spiritual purpose will be far more important to us than taking time to eat. Jesus’ disciples were surprised when they found Him speaking to the woman. A Jewish man would not be caught in public talking to a Samaritan woman, especially a divorcee with five ex-husbands. What was He doing?

The disciples may have expected a spiritual harvest when Jesus established His kingdom. Jesus essentially said, “Why wait? It’s harvest time now!”

Let us hear His words for us. We could be saying something like this:

1 Maybe awakening will come when all the churches experience revival.

2 We can’t expect a harvest when the lost world is so cold and hardened.

3 He’s delayed 2,000 years to come back. We don’t need to rush now.

4 We have tried before (fished all night). This isn’t a good time.

One day Peter and his partners had been fishing all night. But Jesus told them to go into the deep water and drop their nets. They reluctantly obeyed and caught so many fish they nearly sank two boats! “When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, ‘Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!’” (Luke 5:8). That is the day Jesus called him to fish for men. Did you notice the great harvest of fish came before Peter confessed his sin?

Sometimes God’s kindness brings repentance (Rom. 2:4). The harvest is the Lord’s work. He has chosen us to be workers together with Him in this great task. He is bringing in a harvest in many places around the world. He is fully able to do that where we live also. Let us pay attention to His final statement of His final command to us and be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. Jesus would say to us, “Open your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready for harvest” (John 4:35).

Let us pray saints:

1. Pledge your willingness to obey God and ask Him to bring in a great harvest for His glory. Continue to pray for workers for the harvest.

2. Ask God what He wants you to do today to apply what He has revealed.

3. Ask the Lord to perform His perfect will within your life

4. As you have completed the last 21 days, ask the Lord to reveal to you and your family His plan and purpose before His soon coming and snatching away.

REMEMBER 2026 IS THE YEAR OF DELIVERANCE

As we remember the Lord and His deliverance, He remembers us saints.

So, the Lord can deliver us from many things’ saints. The Lord can deliver you from daily problems and troubles. The Lord can deliver you from your greatest challenges. The Lord can deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from deadly plagues. The Lord can rescue you from every evil action and bring you safely into His heavenly kingdom. The Lord can deliver you from the hand of every demonic influence. The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials saints. The word "deliverance" can mean liberation, freeing, rescue, or salvation.

Deliver from Bondage, Addiction, Debt, Bad Relationships, Evil Spirits, Burdens, Generational Curses, Witchcraft, Sorrow, Mourning, Unforgiveness, Bitterness, Pain, Oppression, Barrenness & Poverty etc. For the anointing coupled together with revelation knowledge will continue to break yokes, pull down strongholds and destroy those walls even of offense and bring down those barriers’ saints. God is here to deliver us and to set us free saints hallelujah! You may have even been deeply wounded in your life that has caused deep scars on the inside of you. You may have had a father abandon you, or been physically or mentally abused by someone, and you’ve never been not able to forgive that person.

Well, this is the year for your deliverance saints and you will have supernatural favour as a child of God. New opportunities to prosper will come your way (supernaturally) – even as the Lord tarries for some new business ventures, new geographic territories to win souls for Christ, opportunities to reap the harvest within this late hour before His coming.

The word of God is alive and sharper than a two-edge sword. The Word is life, and it is quick, and it is very powerful. The Word is truth, it corrects, it enlightens, it heals, it delivers, and it brings visible results. It does not return without accomplishing that which it was sent to do precious saints.

Declare God will do the impossible through you and whatever resources you already have, to multiply to reach the harvest.

2026 is your year of victory and deliverance saints and as we have gone into the halfway mark, God is bringing about your breakthroughs in Jesus Mighty Name! For God says today! "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, YOU'RE COMING OUT TO SEE GREATER LEVELS OF HIS GLORY RELEASED. YES, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, IT IS TIME TO TELL THE DEVIL ITS HIS TIME TO LEAVE OUR LIFES ONCE AND FOR ALL " Shalom

May the Lord bless you for partaking of this 21 day fast of 2026 and He shall finish what He has started in your life saints remain encouraged and connected to this End time move of God coming to the nations. Shalom, Shalom, Shalom
