3 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYER FOR NOVEMBER 24th, 25th & 26th 2023
THEME: "SONGS OF DELIVERANCE”
SCRIPTURE THEME: Psalm 32:7 “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
Precious saints no matter what you may be passing through at this time Jesus is still Lord. Whether you are passing through trials, tribulations or some habitual sin that needs breaking free from. Then you have come to the right place today because no matter what it may be fasting, and prayer is key to your spiritual breakthroughs.
See when you fast, you learn a lot about yourself, for one you learn how weak and little you are in your own strength. Because you will get hungry, thirsty, and your pride goes to zero, your vanity is burst, your self-esteem gets shattered. So, it can be an all-round humbling experience, when done by the Holy Spirits leading. See when fasting is done with a humble heart that seeks God, it will always pay spiritual dividends. But when fast is done with a prideful, self-righteous attitude it will not produce the needed miracles, breakthroughs, victory, success, and triumph etc! See the purpose for fasting is to crucify the flesh and HUMBLE the self in us all.
Now as you know I am currently in Africa digging the wells of revival and working very hard for the Lord within the Fathers vineyard, so your prayers and support are much appreciated. Now back to todays scripture:
Psalm 32:7 “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear or read this scripture is the song that I so dearly love and sing often in the spirit, “YOU ARE MY HIDING PLACE”. When I hear this worship song it takes me to that secret place with God instantly. See God desires us to go to this secret place, for safety from the trappings of this world. The lyrics to the song goes like this, “You are my Hiding Place. You always fill my heart, with songs of deliverance, whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You, I will trust in you, let the weak say I am strong in the strength of My Lord.” Powerful lyrics and I want to expand on this a little more today.
See there are also songs of deliverance that we can tap into within the spiritual realm. They are songs that have been sung since the beginning of time. Even when God is speaking to Job and asking him where he was at the beginning of creation that the angels sang together.
Job 38:4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding."
Job 38:7 "When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
When we tap into such songs of deliverance in the spirit we are always assured our deliverance and breakthrough. For it is the Lord who fights for us and defeats our enemies precious saints.
Psalm 98:1 "Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory."
There are many accounts of the Lord’s victory in battle and in particular with tapping into songs of deliverance. Such examples are as follows:
1 Samuel 14 when Jonathan defeats the enemy while the Lord’s priest who is wearing EPHOD Raises His hands in worship towards the direction of the battle.
Joshua 6 we see that in Jericho the Walls came tumbling down when they shofars and shouts of victory were declared.
2 Chronicles 20 when King Jehoshaphat sent a procession of priests blowing trumpets and singing praise to bring the victory and ambush against the enemy.
Acts 16:25 Paul and Silas started to praise and worship God in the midnight hour and the earthquake came and loosened the shackles of every prisoner.
So it is time for you to tap into those songs of deliverance also this weekend. So what else can we see from the above scripture. HE IS OUR SAFE HIDING PLACE, SO WE CAN FEEL SAFE AT ALL TIMES: “You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.” (Psalm 31:20)
WE ARE SURE TO BE PROTECTED IN OUR HIDING PLACE: “For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.” (Psalm 27:5). You can be sure to be protected.
WE HAVE NO TROUBLES IN HIDING PLACE SAINTS: “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” (Psalm 32:7). The word hiding here is the same as Jonathan used in 1 Samuel 19:2, telling David to hide from Saul. It is a safe house from all predators or anyone wanting to harm us. It is a place where the enemy cannot find you, for you are secure.
WE ARE COMFORTED IN THE HIDING PLACE: “I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.” (Psalm 61:4) The verse paints the picture of us of young birds taking comfort in the mother bird’s wings or like a child finding comfort in their parents embrace. God want to embrace us.
WE RUN TO THE STRONGTOWER IN THE HIDING PLACE: “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). What safer place is there to be than in the shelter of the Almighty God as our strong tower?
WE ARE PROTECTED IN THE HIDING PLACE: “You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.” (Psalm 119:114). God put his shield around us and protects us from attack from the enemy.
WE ARE INTIMATE WITH GOD IN THE HIDING PLACE: “My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. (Song of Songs 2:14). Here is the reminder that we are not hidden alone but hidden with Christ where there is intimacy. Where we can listen to His voice and look upon his face.
These words bring great comfort to my soul knowing that in the midst of all the troubles of this world even within these end-time hour He said be not troubled the end is not yet” (Matthew 24:5) The secret hiding place with God is the safest place in the world to be. A place you go to get strength and faith, and love and hope anytime, night or day. He is our Hiding Place and He is there, He protects us, and there He gives us songs that remind us of how He will always be there for us, for those we love, and for all who turn to Him and seek Him.
I hope you have such a place today as you make time to seek God this November weekend, for it is a time dwell with God in that place where the Lord can keep us safe and secure. He invites us all to come to that Hiding Place. Take time to seek Him this weekend with an open heart, for He is always there, and the door is always open to those that want to press in more to God.
Fasting can change your approach to God, broaden your horizons, fill you with greater FAITH, and change your LIFE! Through true fasting, and drawing close to God by afflicting yourself, you can become a MIGHTY MAN AND WOMEN OF SPIRITUAL VALOR!
In this 3-day fasting program you will clearly see that Satan is the master mind behind all our headaches, but we need to arise above in prayer. I encourage you always to put on the full armour of God on, as we go into spiritual war in times of fasting, for we will tackle spiritual forces that are combatting our life’s and those around us this weekend.

Fasting Days: Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Fasting Type: It is your choice what level you wish to fast, maybe you wish to do 3 days dry fast without water or food, maybe you wish to do 3 days with water fast? Or you could fast from food but drinking water or fluids partially. You are welcome to break the fast each evening and start again either after meal (6am-6pm) or you can go straight through as I said. The key is I want you to abstain from something to seek a closer walk with the Lord and see your spiritual breakthroughs.

Fasting Teaching - https://youtu.be/DFWacd-8ShY
MESSAGE THEMES FOR THE 3 DAYS:
DAY 1 THEME: “GOD’S GUIDANCE”
DAY 2 THEME: “GODS PROTECTION”
DAY 3 THEME: “GOD’S PROVISION”
What am I required to fast from?
We want to leave this decision up to you. We do not have any mandatory church-wide requirements for how you fast, but here are a few ideas:
Food Fast
When we choose not to eat or not to eat certain foods, we allow our physical bodies to hunger and to bring our desires into alignment with our spiritual need for God. There is a clarity in hearing from the Lord which comes when we fast and pray; making a small sacrifice to give up a “pleasure” or comfort to increase your spiritual sight and vision.
We are providing the following options for you to consider:
1. Food Fast
You fast from all foods from either 10pm-6pm (20 hours) or 6am-6pm (12 hours) each day with fluids allowed.
2. Partial Fast
You choose to eliminate certain things i.e., fizzy drinks; sweets/chocolates, bread, no red meat etc, but the rest of your diet remains mainly the same
3. Fruit and Veg
Eat fruit during the day, with liquids (tea/limited coffee, herbal drinks, and water) with a veg meal in the evenings
4. Liquids only during day and veg meal for dinner
Drink water and herbal drinks during the day with a veg meal in the evenings. Please consult your doctor if there are any medical concerns before you commence the fast.
Media Fast
During this time, we encourage you to turn off the TV, computer, video games, Facebook, twitter, Instagram, the Internet, and any other form of social media for a brief period of time. You may decide to fast from Facebook or some other form of media altogether or to limit your time to only 1-2 hours per week. When we do this, we create more time when we can read our Bible, pray, worship, and hear from God.
Search your heart in deciding what type of food fast you want to do. If you have never fasted, maybe start off with a partial fast and progress to a fruit and veg option for the last couple of days. Remember, the most important consideration in fasting is your motive. Why are you fasting?
What will we be praying about?
Check each day for the next 3 days there will be theme topics, scriptures, and prayers so you may follow corporately all together. We are trusting the Lord that this time of fasting, and prayer will release a passion for His name within us – to cut off what belongs to a past seasons, to receive renewed hope and vision for our lives/ministries, to be conduits for signs, wonders, and miracles and to fulfill the mandate of sharing the gospel to the ends of the earth! During this time of fasting, be intentional about your priorities. Set aside ample time to be alone with the Lord. The more time you spend with God, the more meaningful your fast will be. If you need an overview or suggestions on what you can do to make the most of the fast in terms of having a daily routine, use the below points:
Morning:
Begin your day in praise and worship
Read the days program and meditate on God’s Word
Invite Holy Spirit to work in you
Noon:
Take a short prayer walk
Spend time in intercessory prayer for the theme of the day
Evening:
Make time for an unhurried time of “seeking God’s face”
If others are fasting with you, meet for prayer
Avoid television or any other distraction that may affect your spiritual focus and watch the daily uploads to YouTube. You are welcome to watch Christian movies etc.
When possible, begin and end each day with your spouse, family, or friend for a brief time of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord. Please let us know you’ll be fasting & praying with us!
PRACTICAL TIPS FOR FASTING:
1. Avoid medical and even natural herbal drugs. However, if you are under medication, these should only be withdrawn upon the advice of your doctor.
2. Limit your physical activity and exercise. If you have a workout routine, adjust it accordingly.
3. Rest as much as you can if needed be.
4. Maintain an attitude of prayer throughout the day. Intercede for your family, pastors, church, nation, missionaries & world missions, etc.
5. Drink plenty of clean water if you are joining the water fast.
6. As your body adjusts, be prepared for temporary bouts of physical weakness as well as a greater likelihood of impatience, irritability, and anxiety.
FASTING BRINGS REVIVAL:
“. . . in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So, I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.” Daniel 9:2,3
Fasting helps us prevail in prayer and intercession. Daniel understood that Israel was headed for destruction. He also knew that in times like these, there is only one recourse—intercession through praying and fasting. Throughout human history, God has brought revival and delivered nations from destruction in response to prayer and fasting.
FASTING IS AN ACT OF HUMILITY AND CONSECRATION:
“. . . I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting . . .” Psalm 35:13
Humility results in the grace of God (James 4:6). When we humble ourselves in prayer, we have instant access to the heart of God. As we deny ourselves as an act of consecration, we are better able to exercise self-control over our emotions and desires.
SPIRITUAL CLEANSING & SPIRITUAL EYES OPENED:
Fasting can be done for one meal, one day, one month or for however long God leads. It depends on how the Holy Spirit speaks to us. Shorter fasts are easier to endure until we have built up our “spiritual muscles”. A three day fast is most beneficial as a spiritual cleansing. An example of this is Paul being thrust into his fast upon conversion. After the three days of cleansing, he received the Holy Spirit and his eyesight when Ananias laid hands on him (Acts 9:17-18). We also can be spiritually cleansed by fasting so that we receive more of the Lord’s Spirit and have our spiritual eyes opened to new dimensions. A three day fast is also especially helpful in breaking any addictive habits.
These then are two reasons for fasting: We receive spiritual cleansing, and our spiritual eyes are opened, and we also obtain victory over the devil. When Jesus encountered Satan, He was able to overcome Him because His fasting had given Him spiritual strength. Isaiah 58:6 also gives us light on this purpose of fasting: “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loosen the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?” Many people believe that fasting is to move the hand of God, when in it is to make Satan turn loose of the things he is holding.
BREAKING STRONGHOLDS & BUILDING FAITH:
Fasting loose the bands of wickedness. When Jesus discussed the keys to the kingdom, He told us to bind and loose. When we fast, we loosen the bands of wickedness, undo the heavy burdens, set the oppressed free, and break every yoke of the enemy. Fasting is an important key to getting the victory over hard situations that do not seem to respond to normal prayer.
Fasting builds our faith. In fact, this is what Jesus meant when he spoke to the disciples in Matthew 17:21 in answer to why they were not able to cast a demon out of a child. He said, “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” He was telling them if they wanted their faith to be at such a level as to be able to cast out demons, then they must fast and pray for their faith to increase.
Fasting also makes it easier for us to hear the voice of the Lord. We find an account of this in Acts 13:2 “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
While fasting, the Holy Spirit spoke to them and gave them direction. We too can be directed by the Lord if we seek Him through prayer and fasting.
When we deny our natural cravings, our spiritual antennas become more attuned. We become more sensitive to His voice as we divest ourselves of worldly distractions. We are better able to focus on God and submit to His will. This opens the door for more of the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Fasting and mourning are closely associated in the Bible. Two examples of this are found in Ezra and Nehemiah.
Ezra 10:6: “Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.”
Nehemiah 1:4: “And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven.”
From these Scriptures, we see that fasting and travail (a prayer burden from the Lord that brings crying and tears) were combined. Both men were fasting for the repentance of God’s people. How we need this same kind of intercession today. Here were men so burdened for the sins of their people that they fasted, travailed, and prayed.
Day 1 – GOD'S GUIDANCE
Date: Friday 24th of November 2023
Scripture Text: Matthew 6:13 “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
I want you to take some time now and open your bible to read these scriptures below:
Heb 4:14-16, 2:18
Prov 3:1-26
John 15:1-17 Gal 5:13-26
Eph 6:10-18
“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.” 1 Cor 10:13
When Jesus taught us to pray this, he knew what he was talking about. (Luke 4)
In reality Jesus is asking us that we pray for the same power he accessed in the wilderness – the power that the Spirit provides to resist, to avoid, to flee, to have discernment , to be able to be in the world, but not of the world. Temptations do come, (appetites, need for approval, ambition) but we don’t have to yield to them. When we do find ourselves in any temptation or trial, call out to God – PRAY! – He will show us the way through anything.
Heb 2:18 tells us that Jesus who was tempted in everything as were are, and is now able to aid us who are being tempted. God led Jesus into the wilderness, where he was tempted, and overcame. Because of that, he not only sympathizes with us, but he has ability to aid us gain the spiritual strength needed to overcome every temptation.
The key to gaining strength is allowing the Spirit to continually transform and lead you. Gal 5 tells us that when we daily pursue the God honouring desires produced by the spirit in us, instead of giving in to our selfishness, we overcome the flesh allowing us to do what we were originally created to do – live lives that glorify God. Avoiding sinning is not our goal, it is following the spirits leading. Walking in the spirit is the constant daily practice Jesus modelled for us. When we are abiding in his Word, yield to his pruning, respond to his leading’s day-in-day-out, it will produce Godly fruit. Fruit does not simply appear; it grows over time when watered and fed daily.
As we rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to change our motivations, and conform our thoughts, feelings and habits, we’ll discover not only how to resist temptations, but we will be invited into new adventures to see others be set free.
Key: You’re not alone. God put you in His family – to help strengthen us and equip us. We need brothers, sisters, spiritual leaders to equip us (Eph 4), to hold us accountable, and train us in the ways of the Spirit. Disciples never walk alone.
Ponder: Read how Paul presents the conflict of our old & new nature in Rom 7:14-8:17. What was is his answer to the dilemma? What role did the Holy Spirit play?
Read Matt 26:41 – what was Jesus warning us about? What is the answer Jesus provided to overcome this power? What temptations seem to have more power in your life right now?
Question: Do you have someone, or a group of people you have asked to be a spiritual accountability in your journey to defeat any ongoing persistent temptations? God wants to surround you with people of character.
Do not place any limitations on your season by calling it what anyone else calls it; no one should name your season for you. God wants to do more in this season than you can ever imagine - Start calling yourself what God calls you. Start calling your situation what God calls it. Start calling your season what God says it is. You can redefine your destiny!
PRAYER FOCUS DAY 1:
Pray through Eph 6:10-18 – pray out loud the word of God, for it’s the sword you need. Intercede (pray for others), who are facing challenging temptations. The Whole Armor of God is vital to put on each day saints, so learn to make this a memory verse.
Ephesians 6:10-18 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [b]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints”
Ask the Lord for that refreshing wind of Holy Spirit to blow upon you – decree that you are being given new strength (emotionally, spiritually and physically)
Decree and believe that as you fast and pray, your passion will return – to see what God wants to reveal to you, to hear what the Lord is whispering to you, to move with the rhythm of Holy Spirit

There are hidden strongholds that are blocking your progress in life. Pray against those strongholds. Ask God to reveal them to you so that they can be broken (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Name the specific stronghold in your life and family and command it to be broken in Jesus’ name.
Pray for Robert Clancy YouTube Channel to grow and reach those in need of ministry, without any more hinderance coming against the channel being taken down in Jesus mighty name.

Thank the Lord that He is changing you. Thank Him for His love that does not want to leave you the way you are. Pray that His plans and His will come to pass in your life as you submit to Him.
I remove myself, my family and my church from every demonic influence that has sabotaged our progress in Jesus Name.
I command a restoration of God's timing and order in alignment with His master plan for my life, my family, and the church in Jesus's Name.
Meditate as we are on day one for this month's fast. Is there anything you need to do or redress to position yourself for what you are praying to God for in your personal life?
Begin to petition God based on His word and pray that you will begin to walk in the tangible manifestation of open heavens over your life—your household, family, ministry, business, finances, church etc.
Declare and confess over your life, that from today, you will begin to operate and live under open heavens and the spirit of sabotage will no-longer have any effect over you or your family.
Declare that every area of your life will begin to manifest the blessings and evidence of Gods restoring power to every area of your life.
Claim the promise of God’s blessing today. Ask God to increase you finances. Pray for Divine favour to open doors for you so that you will have contracts that will lead to financial success.

Ask God to cause revival living waters to begin to touch every area of your life, family, your nation, your church, (Pastor Robert & Aida Clancy) and for them to bring healing to every sickness, life in place of death, fruitfulness in place of barrenness, multiplication in place of stagnation. Cover Pst Robert Clancy and his family from every reprisal attack from the enemy for all the work he is doing on the front lines against the forces of darkness. Yes, Lord protects them with your warrior angels as a hedge of protection around everything they do and go in Jesus Mighty Name!
Give thanks to God for this and for answered prayers in your personal life also that He would provide for you according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Remember as you pray for others, God takes care of your needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.
Pray for the Lord to open the doors to revival within each of our cities to reach the lost souls within this hour, that a mighty move of God would sweep the nations and whatever God is doing in this hour He would include all those that hunger and thirst for Him.
Pray for Pastor Robert who has been busy in the mission field stirring the wells of revival, that the Lord would renew his strength and may the heavens fully open to this revival being ignited in Jesus Mighty Name!
Day 2 – GOD'S PROTECTION
Date: Saturday 25th of November 2023
Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:13 “And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.”
I want you to take some time now and open your bible to read these scriptures below:
Psalm 119:133
John 17:1-25
1 Pet 5:8, James 4:7
Acts 4:24-31
“Holy Father, you have given me [Jesus} your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are….. I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to this world any more than I do. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth. I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message….” John 17:11-20
In Jesus prayer (John 17), we discover he is interceding for us! For protection, to be kept safe from the evil one – why? Because we are sent into the world as Jesus was, to do what he did. To be an ambassador of this kingdom and King – announcing the good news, the Gospel to everyone! We are to heal the sick, to free (deliver) people oppressed from the power of evil. To do this, we must do what Jesus did - we also must cultivate a life of prayer not only ourselves, but for others. The bottom line – it is a spiritual battle, and the as Paul wrote to the Ephesians, “you must put on all your spiritual armour in order to fight”.
Intercessory prayer happens when we take a position between heaven and earth on behalf of another person. We are asking God to give someone a loaf of bread, or experience a healing, a demonstration of God’s provision and kingdom reality. Whether it is a situation an individual is facing, or a city or nation, we recognize that God has the power to change circumstances.
Most of us are accustomed to praying for ourselves or another person, but we seem to need more prompting to pray on a larger scale – for a community or a city, or even a country. We all recognize the importance of spending time with God personally, but we cannot miss the fact that the praying together with others is also needed and required. Our rugged individualism in the west (modern world) has left us somewhat powerless in corporate prayer. The disciple’s prayer is meant to be prayed corporate for more than ourselves - “Our, Father… give us our bread… lead us from temptation… deliver us from the evil one”
Ponder: How is your intercessory prayer for others? Take time today to focus on others, your community, church family, relatives, friends, and people in your sphere of daily life who need to be free from the kingdom of darkness. Pray for political leaders, missionaries, countries that you know have need.
Before the prayer-fast weekend is done, call someone to join together in agreement in all that you have declared upon your life and the person you also have been lifting up in prayer. Pray for boldness and the Holy Spirits power and gifts to be stirred among you.
Thank the Lord for every person who fasted and prayed during this period – that they too will experience the fullness of transformation and transition in spirit and circumstances.
PRAYER FOCUS DAY 2:
Start today's prayers by first meditating on Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Think about your life and your situation - Is there any way you have limited God by making Him smaller than the giants or the mountains that you are facing? Get on your knees and repent. Ask God to forgive you for dishonouring Him.
Remind yourself of all the promises of God concerning your life and make a good warfare with your prophecies.
Ask God to revive the right spirit in you, and to give you the strength to follow Him wholeheartedly, as you rise up and move forward to claim His promises.
Focus on the month of DECEMBER and claim the release of every blessing and the fulfilment of every promise for that month, for yourself, your family the church as a whole.
Lord Unveil my eyes; let me know the truth of Your word concerning my life and every situation that I am in right now.
Expose every lie of the enemy that has been designed to sabotage your plans and purposes for my life.
Deliver me from every deception and the lies that the enemy has used to distract me, whether through words, my thoughts, my emotions and feelings, false prophecies, dreams and visions that are not from God.
Uproot everything in my life, my thinking, and my emotions, that has kept me in bondage to the spirit that has been deployed to hinder the fulfilment of your word concerning my life.
Pray that December and into 2024 will be a mountain conquering year, that in this month and beyond, God will cause you to walk upon your high places - in the places of honour, promotion, and elevation in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
Declare that on Day 2, your transformation and breakthrough will be complete according to God’s will and riches.
Decree that you will have a relentless pursuit to walk in the fullness of what Christ has promised you.

Day 3 - GOD'S PROVISION
Date: Sunday 26th of November 2023
Scripture Reading Matthew 6:11 “Give us this day our daily bread”.
I want you to take some time now and open your bible to read these scriptures below:
Matt 6: 5-11
Matt 6: 19-34
1 Tim 6: 6-12, 17-19
Luke 12: 13-24
“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need from day to day. So, don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matt 6:31-34
Jesus teaches us in the disciple’s prayer to ask Father for our daily needs. Nothing wrong with asking, Father is an amazing provider. He loves to meet all our needs. The problem is we think we know better what our needs are than God does. Most of us would feel better if God simple provided enough for the next few years! But we are in danger of missing the kingdom when we think like this.
Jesus reminded us, “what does it prosper a man who gains the whole world but loses his soul”. The rich young ruler left Jesus with all his “external stuff” but no kingdom internally. He lost his soul/identity. His idea of need was much different than Jesus wisdom.
So, what constitutes our needs? What is this daily bread we are to ask for?
“I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” John 6:35.
Jesus spoke this after he had fed the 5,000. Father does provide practically, but the real focus we are to seek after – what we are to concentrate on is Him. He is the bread we are to ask for.
Beyond our practical needs, God knows we need Him first – His kingdom in us first- that’s why he said, “Seek first the Kingdom, then all the other things will come”. He is our daily bread….Let him fill you first.
Ponder: Read Matt 6:19-21 Take a honest assessment of your heart. What captures your heart and thoughts primarily – what is your treasure? How much of a hold does it have on you?
Meditate on what Jesus talks about the Fathers provision in Matt 6:31-34
Meditate on what it means to daily receive Jesus as your life bread.
Ask God to show you in what ways are you to seek first the kingdom.
What is your part? What is Gods part?
PRAYER FOCUS DAY 3:
Pray through Prov 30:5-9, and 1 Tim 6:11-12. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you what you really need so you can live in the contentment these writers testify about.
Declare that every opportunity to prosper in mind, body, soul and spirit will not be missed this year that is remaining.
Invite God to use you – seek out every opportunity to pray for others to bring glory to the Lord – decree that signs, wonders, and miracles will follow us
Pray for your family, workplace, city, ministry, global body of Christ to receive breakthrough to enter the new era of delight, freedom, and prosperity in the Lord
Pray for an increase of supernatural signs, wonders, and miracles to be seen as believers pray for others and gather in groups to praise the name of the Lord.
Decree exponential growth in your spirit, knowledge and wisdom, revelation
Ask God to give you a spirit of generous giving so that you will be in a position bless others and in return be blessed.
Pray that God will send into their lives believers who will witness to them and lead them to Christ.
You may also pray for persons that are close to your heart (e.g. business owners, single parents, teenagers, family members, heads of government and frontline workers that have been under pressure during this Corona Virus Pandemic).
Intercede on behalf of your nation and the nations of the earth. Bind every satanic spirit that is coming against the nations. Rebuke the spirit of corruption in the name of Jesus. Rebuke the spirit of murder and abortion over each nation. Ask God to free all the children and people that are being kept as hostages due to human trafficking and all the sick pedophiles to be brought to stand justice for their crimes against children in Jesus Mighty Name!
Ask the Lord to shine His light into our society's and expose every evil work. Pray that the darkness of sin might be dispelled through the light of God’s Word.
The Bible tells us that promotion comes not from the east or the west but from God alone. (Psalm 75:6-7) Humble yourself before the Lord that He may promote you in His time. Seek His will and submit your plans to Him.
Give honor to the Lord today. He is your rock, your fortress, and your shield! The name of the Lord is a strong tower, so run into his name for safety today. Ask the Lord to guide you and direct your life. Whatever decisions you are facing today, commit them into God’s hands and pray for wisdom and direction.
Pray that the Lord will set you apart and set you on high so that your life will be a witness and testimony to the world. Ask God to elevate you at your work, in your family, and in your community, so that his light can shine out from you.
There is much error being taught in churches today. Pray for a return to the Bible, as our only source for doctrine and practice. Ask God to bring a revival of truth to the nations of the earth. A revival of Word & Spirit.
Look back over the past 3 days and thank the Lord for every transition and shift (no matter how small) you have made (spiritually, emotionally, and physically) during this period of fasting and praying.
Declare that on Day 3, your transformation and breakthrough will be complete according to God’s will and riches.
Decree that you will have a relentless pursuit to walk in the fullness of what Christ has promised you.
Decree that there is no going back to the old season. Speak completeness of turnaround in your healing, health and wealth in your spirit, emotions and physically.
Intercede for lost souls. Ask God to lift the veil of deception from their eyes, so that they will see the truth of Jesus. Pray for your family and friends who don’t know Christ. Ask God to convict them of sin and soften their hearts to receive His Word.
Intercede for all people that are in need for employment. Pray for their applicants to be given good positions. Seek the Lord for His peace, wisdom, and grace to be on their applicants, as they interview for positions.
Claim the promise of God’s blessing today. Ask God to increase you finances. Pray for Divine favour to open doors for you so that you will have contracts that will lead to financial success.

Pray: Father, we are confident of this very thing; that He who has begun a good work in us (Philippians 1:6). Give thanks to God for this and for answered prayers in your personal life. Remember as you pray for others God takes care of your needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.
Declare out loud:
“By God’s grace as we have come to the eleventh month, that the remaining of 2023 will continue to be a year of prosperity for me, despite any interruptions at the beginning of the year.”
No weapon that is fashioned against me shall prosper.
My life is hidden with Christ in God. My destiny is secured in the Faithfulness of God's word concerning my life.
My purpose is a sure testimony that is complete and perfect in accordance with God's plans for my life.
I command a restoration of God's timing and order in alignment with His master plan for my life, my family and the church in Jesus's Name.
Begin to petition God based on His word and pray that you will begin to walk in the tangible manifestation of open heavens over your life—your household, family, ministry, business, finances, church etc.
Declare that every area of your life will begin to manifest the blessings and evidence of Gods restoring power to every area of your life.
Pray that God’s healing power would come into your life in all its fullness. Ask that He would heal you from sickness and disease, and from every hurt, brokenness, and defeat. (3 John vs. 2; Isaiah 53:5)
There are hidden strongholds that are blocking your progress in life. Pray against those strongholds. Ask God to reveal them to you so that they can be broken (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Name the specific stronghold in your life and family and command it to be broken in Jesus’ name.
