3 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYER FOR NOVEMBER 29th, 30th & 1st Of DECEMBER 2024

THEME: "DEEP IN THE RIVER"

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 22:1 “And he showed me a [a]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

Precious saints I first want to thank all those that prayed for our most recent Repentance Revival Movement Conference this past weekend in San Antonio Texas. It was such a success and powerful weekend that most days I went for 12 hours none stop inclusive of preaching, many deliverances, healings and baptisms. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the organisers who held the event in San Antonio Texas that made the event a success.

Now for those that may have wondered why I had not been on Facebook for the last two weeks is due to META taking my personal page down due to some bogus Instagram account that my Facebook was connected to. So as the personal Facebook is connected to our Official ministry page, we have not been able to get access to it. So, your prayers are appreciated that we can get that back from being banned and able to reach more souls.  

So, I thought it is a good time while people are hungry for revival to have another extended three day fast before the seven-day crossover in fast late December and early January. So being in the will of God is like being in the centre of a fast-flowing river and we are going to press into Gods River this weekend. Remember in the centre of the river the flow is strongest and fastest. The further away from the centre of the river you drift, the slower and less directed the flow. You’re still in the flow, but it’s not as strong or sure.

In the centre of God’s will, His guidance is strongest and most sure. But the further away from the centre of God’s will you drift, the slower you move, and the guidance, direction, and protection you would have received from Him is weaker and less effective, almost indiscernible. You move from His perfect will into His permissive will, and then out of His will altogether.

Wading to the edge of the river, you eventually step out and find yourself on the shore of your pride and independence, and the river flows on without you. Likewise, stepping out of God’s will, you are on your own, left to your own devices as the will of God moves on without you. Out of the river, you try to make your way, but it’s more difficult to move forward, because there are obstacles.

You try to move parallel to the river, keeping it in sight, but there are obstacles in the path, forcing movement around them. This causes you to travel in a different direction than the river, which is now so far away that it can’t even be seen. Trying to serve or even follow God when you are out of His will becomes frustrating because of the obstacles that force movement further away from God’s plan for your life. Bad relationships, wrong career choice, poor health, lack of education, and finances are only some of the wrong roads on which you might find yourself. Subsequently, your life ends up on a wrong path or stuck at a dead end going nowhere.

Do not despair! There is another place for you in the river. God’s will and plan for your life yet waits!  Make your way directly to the river of God’s will at whichever point along life’s journey you now find yourself.

Get back in the river. Wade out from the shore and into the flow. Don’t be satisfied with an ankle deep, knee deep, or waist deep place in the river of God’s will.

Now as you desire to go deeper into a relationship with the Holy Spirit for these three days you might look at yourself and wonder why God would ever choose someone like you to reveal His greatness to this lost world. Considering all the mistakes you may have made and all the weaknesses you see in yourself, why would God ever think you could be like Him? I’ll tell you why. God knew you before you ever sinned. He knew you when you were wonderful. He knew you before your life got messed up. He knew you before the devil ever got his hands on you. Yes, God knew you when you were just an image on the inside of Him—and that image was a picture of Himself.

Fear however will try to stop you from walking in that perfect divine destiny of the Lord and you must refuse it and not to let fear stop you. Yes, fear will mess up the things of God. Fear will keep us from moving in the gifts of the Spirit if we let it. That’s why any time fear shows its ugly head, you must stop right there and deal with it. You can’t afford to accept it and say, “Well, that’s just the way I am.”

Why? Because your divine destiny is waiting! The Lord Jesus is waiting! The world is waiting for His ministry to be manifest through you! So don’t let anything stop you. Right during all the daily demands of life, rise in faith, hope and love and begin to do what God divinely designed you to do. Get out your Bible and develop that divine image inside you. See yourself ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit. See yourself doing the very works of Jesus—the works He said you were destined to do. Then let the very love of God move you to step out in faith and do what the Spirit leads you to do. Do it in love. Do it by faith. And do it with hope, confidently expecting God to keep His Word. So, dare to fulfill your destiny and the world will see Jesus through you, as your life will more than likely be the only bible anyone gets to read. So, as we claim our God given destiny and favour, let us believe that revival is ours for the reaching.

And as you join this 3 Day Fast, also join the weekly corporate Friday fasting we have each week to stir revival in your hearts and that of your families, churches, cities, and nations will be awakened. This is the hour for revival within the nations to usher in the Lords soon return. Do not forget to write down all your prayer requests and place within your bibles, so we can agree with you for those breakthroughs. The whole purpose is that you focus on the program and are not overly focused on your problems essentially.

MESSAGE THEMES FOR THE 3 DAYS:

DAY 1 THEME: “THE WATER IS BAD”

DAY 2 THEME: “THE RIVER OF GOD”

DAY 3 THEME: “THE LORDS PRAYER”

What am I required to fast from?

Fasting Type: It is your choice what level you wish to fast, 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. You can even just skip one meal a day if you wish also. See the key is I want you to abstain from something to seek a closer walk with the Lord and see your spiritual breakthroughs. The key is to also follow the program that is designed to assist and be a guide to press into the Lord. You will find some helpful tips below also. Once again, we want to leave this decision up to you about how you’re going to do it. We do not have any mandatory church-wide requirements for how you fast, but here are a few others’ ideas for first timers:

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 peri od 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 some 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 season, 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 those that will listen! 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 and be available 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. SoSo, 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 loose 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 actually 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 loose 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 challenging 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 strongly 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 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 – “THE WATER IS BAD”

Friday, November 29, 2024

Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 2:19-22 “19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please notice, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the ground barren.” 20 And he said, “Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him. 21 Then he went out to the source of the water, and cast in the salt there, and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘I have [a]healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness.’ ” 22 So the water remains healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.”

One thing I love about the Australian outback is being able to sleep under the open heavens and watch the stars in the milky way. On a very fine summers night you can see a fascinating combination of different colours and beautiful lights. At night, you can also see the moon in all its glory or maybe even catch a glimpse of a few falling stars entering the atmosphere.

In the daytime on clear sunny days, I also love to look up and watch the clouds moving in the sky overhead; or the rainbows that form in the horizon on a winter’s day from the prayer mountain.

All these beautiful sights are experienced without leaving the surface of the ground; seeing, but not interacting with; and hearing, but not really being touched physically by the elements that are on display above.

This was the image that was playing on my mind when I was meditating on today's bible reading.

The story in the verses we just read, comes from an earlier narration that brought Elisha out of his apprenticeship under the now translated older prophet Elijah, into a place of prominence amongst the Guild of Prophets as God's chosen replacement for the ministry of Elijah. The sons of the prophets had just recently seen Elisha's ministry confirmed by a miracle that God performed through him, as the waters of the river Jordan parted to allow Elisha to walk through, as he journeyed back to Jericho. (2 Kings 2:1-18)

Probably on the strength of this miracle, the men of the city of Jericho approached Elisha for help concerning a very serious problem that they had:

“Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please notice, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the ground barren.” 2 Kings 2:19

Everyone can see at first sight on the outside, what appears to be a beautiful, pleasant, prosperous location; but there was much more to the story than meets the eye. The reality of the situation, however, was far removed from the image that was being presented to the casual observer on the outside - the water was bad and the land was barren!

To understand what was really happening here, I want us to examine the problem that they highlighted to Elisha a bit closer.

"The water is bad, and the ground barren"

That is, that part of it where this water was, or ran, for from there, it became barren; or "caused to miscarry", as the word signifies or caused death. As the amplified bible puts it:

“And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, inhabiting of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees, but the water is bad, and the locality causes miscarriage and barrenness [in all animals].” 2 Kings 2:19 AMP

This happened not only to the trees that cast their fruit, which it watered, but women became abortive that drank of it, as did cattle too.

This situation that the people of Jericho are going through and describing here may register with you as you read this.

There are some of us that looking from the outside and at a distance, now it would appear that all is well with us; we appear blessed, prosperous, as if we've "got it all together". People looking at our children, the house we live in, the ministry, our marriage, the clothes, the cars, the holidays and the trappings of "success" that are visibly on display, may even envy us and ask God why they can't have it as "good" as we do. But, underneath that veneer of pleasantness, there is barrenness and death!

You may be in a job that is in a pleasant location; You may be in a business that is in a prosperous situation; You may be in a country that is pleasant to live in, however, for some reason or the other, in reality, in your case, you only see the façade of the blessings, but you never really enjoy or experience the fruits or benefits, that should be your portion.

It's just like looking from under the open skies of the Australian Outback that I spoke about earlier - you are in a pleasant place, you can see the beauty of what is around you, you can see how prosperous it can be, but unfortunately, when you reach out to touch it, something happens to disrupt your progress; when you step out to possess it, something happens to abort it or cause miscarriage. You are in a pleasant place, but your efforts are not producing gain.

Not anymore; says the Lord!

In response to their request, Elisha asked for them to bring him a new bowl and some salt.

"21He went out to the spring and threw the salt in. Then he said, "This is what the LORD says, 'I have purified this water. It will no longer cause death or fail to produce crops." (2 Kings 2:21)

Unlike what most of us would probably have done, you will notice that Elisha did not concern himself with the land that was barren. He did not bother with the women that were suffering miscarriage, nor did he concern himself with the animals that were suffering from the abortion of their pregnancies. He knew that those occurrences were just the symptoms of a deeper issue - the water was evil and was causing death and barrenness.

Knowing this, Elisha went straight to the source - and dealt with the root cause of the problem. He went to the source of the water and threw the salt in it. And as the bible recorded, the water was healed and no more caused death.

The healing was instant and the restoration of the land, permanent

God wants to deal with the source; the root cause of the barrenness and premature death in your life, your family and this ministry. He wants to eliminate them from your season. Sometimes we think throwing money at people is going to fix their problems, but what they really need is the salt of Gods Word within their life to see change.

PRAYER FOCUS DAY 1:

Allow me to prophesy into your life by the Spirit of God:

“You will no longer labour in vain. You will get a good reward for your labour. God will remove the toil from your labour and replace it with favour. You will no longer work for another to eat the fruits of your hard work. Your tree will not cast its fruit before their time. The promises of God for this season will not abort or suffer miscarriage before fulfilment in the mighty Name of Jesus. If you receive this word, speak it out loud over your life and into your season.”

Pray the prayer: Lord, I don't just want to appear to be blessed. Bless Me Indeed.

Ask God to go to the root cause of every type of barrenness in your life and family and heal the source.

Focus on the month of December and declare the word of God into the month that you shall finish the year strong in Jesus Mighty Name!

You will live and not die; you will declare the glory of God to your children and to your children's children in Jesus' Name. Amen

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 that God will fulfil His promises as a covenant keeping God.

Pray that the remaining of December 2024 will spill over into 2025 as a continued year of breakthroughs that God will cause you to walk upon high places - in the places of honour, promotion and elevation in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Pray for Repentance Revival Movement (Rev Robert & Aida Clancy) and your church that God will supply exceeding, abundantly above all we could ask or think. Lord any spirit of sabotage that is coming against this ministry be exposed and cast back into the pit of hell in Jesus mighty name! Pray that every financial need will be met and that we will have more than enough to carry out the vision for this month of December and beyond. Pray that doors will open in 2025 to reach nations that are ready for the gospel and hungry for revival.

Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to visit the church again with fire and power as He did in the early Church in Jesus mighty name! “And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:1-4)

Pray and ask the Lord to send purifying fire on the church to burn up every dirt, filthiness and sins that are holding the church down from experiencing God’s power, in Jesus mighty name! “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And [a]purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness.” (Malachi 3:2-3)

Pray and ask the Lord to cleanse the Church afresh with the precious blood of Christ, in Jesus mighty name! “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Hebrews 10:22)

Pray and ask the Lord to purify and wash the church with the purifying power of the word of God again in Jesus mighty name! “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word” (Ephesians 5:26)  

Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to inspire new zeal and commitment to the Lord in the church like never before, in Jesus mighty name! “And his disciples remembered that it was written, the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.” (John 2:17)

Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to baptize the Church afresh with the love of God, in Jesus mighty name! “And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” (2 Thessalonians 3:5)

Amen.

Day 2: “THE RIVER OF GOD"

Saturday, November 30th, 2024

Scripture Reading For Today: Ezekiel 47:1-12 “Then he brought me back to the door of the [a]temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.

3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.

7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the [b]valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever [c]the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. 11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt. 12 Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”

Wherever the waters went, there was healing...

In a sharp contrast to our scripture reading for day one, we see a different scenario being played out in today's message.

Yesterday, we read about the waters flowing through the plains of Jericho bringing death and barrenness wherever they flowed. But today, the bible verses that we are meditating on, talk about another kind of river which brings life and healing wherever it goes, and to whatsoever it touches.

My, would you not love for that latter river to flow into your life and through your home?

Well dear friend, according to the word of God, it sure can; you most definitely can!

The first waters that we talked about (2 Kings 2:19) that flowed through Jericho had its source from a land that was under a curse from God; Jericho was standing as a symbol of pride and rebellion against the word of God, as a result of which the land was cursed by God. (See Joshua 6:26 “Then Joshua [a]charged them at that time, saying, “Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.” and 1 Kings 16:34 “In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation [a]with Abiram his firstborn, and with his youngest son Segub he set up its gates, according to the word of the Lord, which He had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun.”)

It is interesting to note that when you go to Jericho today and see the place where the walls came down that nothing has been built on top as per this curse that is upon Jericho.

The sin of rebellion always brings the curse of death and barrenness.

Question for you to stop and consider right now: Is there any rebellion in my life?

Am I in anyway walking in disobedience to the word or will of God? Think about that...

But note the difference with the other waters:

Their Effect on Where They Flowed:

"Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I had returned, I noticed a vast number of trees on the banks of the river, on both sides.

8 He said to me, "These waters go out toward the eastern region and flow down into the Arabah; when they enter the Dead Sea, where the sea is stagnant, the waters become fresh.

9 Every living creature which swarms where the river flows will live; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will become fresh and everything will live where the river flows.

10 Fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to En-eglaim they will spread nets. They will catch many kinds of fish, like the fish of the Great Sea.

11 But its swamps and its marshes will not become fresh; they will remain salty.

12 On both sides of the river's banks, every kind of tree will grow for food. Their leaves will not wither nor will their fruit fail, but they will bear fruit every month, because their water source flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing."

Let me try and break this down for you:

- Vast number of trees grew on both sides of the river (No more barrenness)

- When they enter the Dead Sea, where the sea is stagnant, the waters become fresh. (Antidote to stagnation)

- Every living creature which swarms where the river flows will live; (Antidote to Sickness and premature death)

- There will be many fish, for these waters flow there. (Prosperity)

- Fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to En-eglaim they will spread nets. (Enterprise - success in business and ministry)

- They will catch many kinds of fish, (Productivity)

- On both sides of the river's banks, every kind of tree will grow for food. (Multiplication and Expansion)

- Their leaves will not wither nor will their fruit fail (Antidote to miscarriage, failed harvest and the plague of the devourer)

- They will bear fruit every month (Sustained Fruitfulness in and out of season, all year round)

- Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing. (Abundant Life - healing and restoration)

Let's also look at Rev 22:1-3 - God gave a similar vision to John, that He had given to Ezekiel so many years before, talking about this same river of God and the effect that it would have on impact.

"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life - water as clear as crystal - pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2flowing down the middle of the city's main street. On each side of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. Its leaves are for the healing of the nations. 3And there will no longer be any curse, and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him..."

Q. How do we get this water?

"Elisha said, "Get me a new jar and put some salt in it." So, they got it" (2 Kings 2:20)

You need a new bowl and some salt in it.

The new bowl is the new life of the believer presented to God as a vessel of honour, sanctified for the Master's use. For some of us, that new bowl is a new mindset!

In John 7:37-39, Jesus said: " On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and 38let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, 'From within him will flow rivers of living water.'" 39(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)"

"If anyone is thirsty..." Thirst- This is where the effect of the salt comes in. Salt produces or shall I say it induces thirst. When Jesus talked about, we believers being the salt of the earth, it means that we instigate the thirst for Jesus in the earth, in the hearts of those that we come into contact with!

The source of the living waters is opened, and the flow is activated at the point of thirst.

The Source: "Because their water source flows from the Sanctuary"

The Flow: It flowed out of the sanctuary and increased in depth and reach as it did. It was not contained in the temple. These are the rivers of revival!

This is talking not just about being blessed, but about being Blessed to be a blessing!

You will notice that in both Ezekiel and John's visions, the main healing work of the rivers and the life and prosperity that the flow produced, happened outside of the temple or sanctuary.

God is saying to you and to me - it is time to drink from the Fountain of Life again and allow the Holy Spirit to become a well-spring of Living Waters that will flow out of our lives, out of our homes and out of the church into the streets, into the cities and into the nations; bringing healing and life to broken lives, broken families, broken marriages, broken hearts, broken destinies.

This River of God will flow with life-giving power, bringing fruitfulness where there had been barrenness, prosperity where there had been stagnation, blessings where there had been curses.

Again, I say to you, these are the Rivers of Revival that God is going to cause to flow into and out from the life of everyone who is thirsty for Him in this season. This is how your life will change. This is how your story will change. This is how your breakthrough will happen and your turnaround is established. Get hungry; get thirsty for Him!

PRAYER FOCUS DAY 2:

Cry out to God to create a hunger and a thirst for Him in you.

Pray for the rivers of living waters that Jesus promised to begin to flow from you.

Ask God to cause these waters to begin to touch every area of your life, family, your nation, your church, Repentance Revival Movement (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.

Cry out to God for a revival in your life, home, church, nation and the nations of the earth.

Meditate on the 10 points I raised above (in the breakdown of the effects of the waters) and speak the blessings over your life as God leads.

Focus on the month of December and prophesy into the month and beyond into 2025

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 this prayer: Father, we are confident of this very thing; that He who has begun a good work in us; and in the repentance Revival Movement that you would provide for revival in each and every nation in Jesus’ name (Philippians 1:6). 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 & Declare out loud: “By God’s grace as we have meet December and as Pastor Robert continues to pray for the nations that revival will be sparked within the hearts of each hungry soul. That as doors open in 2025 to travel abroad that chains of oppression would be broken, and that sickness will be healed in Jesus Mighty Name! We pray that the Lord would speak to the nation’s once again in a powerful way concerning things to come and that all nations would repent from all corruption, witchcraft & idol ancestral worship in Jesus Mighty Name.

Ask the question: What will You have me do Lord?

Write down a list of what God has said or will say to you, and then pray to God for a strategy or an action plan to accomplish His will in 2025.

Thank God for the plan. Pray for the wisdom, Grace and anointing to see it through.

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 the popular saying goes:

Pray as though everything depended on God; act (PLAN) as though everything depended on you.

Faith is not allergic to planning...Plan by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and work out your faith. Selah

Ask the Lord to help you step out in faith for the remaining of this year and into 2025, that you will be a doer of the Word in every area of your life today.

Pray and ask the Lord to visit the church with power to heal the sick and cast out devils, in Jesus mighty name! “By stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” (Acts 4:30)

Pray and ask the Lord to visit the church with signs and wonders like He did in the early church, in Jesus mighty name! “And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.” (Acts 5:12)

Pray and say, Oh Lord, cause us to have a renewed vision of the power of the name of Jesus Christ and of the Word of God like the early church had, in Jesus mighty name! “Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.” (Acts 4:10)

Pray and say, Oh Lord God of Hosts, baptize us all with a fresh passion for prayer in power and fire and study of the word in truth and holiness, in Jesus mighty name! “For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.” (Isaiah 37:32)

Pray and ask the Lord to fill the church with fresh passion and zeal for evangelism and soul winning, in Jesus mighty name! “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord collaborating with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” (Mark 16:20)

Pray for us as Missionary Preachers that our relationship with God, spiritual rest, maturity in the faith, and overflow of the Spirit be ignited more each day in Jesus mighty name! “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

Pray for Repentance Revival Movement in our physical well-being, health, safety, finances, and stamina in stressful conditions be protected and revived daily in Jesus mighty name! “Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honoured, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men” (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2).

Pray for Repentance Revival Movement in our emotional well-being, peace, joy, and hope that abounds in Jesus mighty name! “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word” (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).

DAY 3 — “THE LORD’S PRAYER”

Sunday, December 1st, 2024

Scripture Reading For Today: Luke 11:1-4 “Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.”

The Holy spirit impressed upon me these two words in my spirit: DIVINE ALIGNMENT.

I believe that the Lord is positioning us into divine alignment within this season as we continue to seek His face each day. That word can be said to always be a "now word" from God to us. Remember God has already done His bit in blessing us, but the experiences of our daily living if we are to be honest, are far removed from that reality.

But as God was impressing in my spirit in these words, every day of our lives ought to be an opportunity for us to walk in the fullness of the reality of the completed works of Christ on the cross of Calvary, by aligning our vessels with the funnel of God's blessings that He has reached down over us from heaven.

In order to fully appreciate what God is speaking to us today, we need to redefine our understanding of the word "blessing". For many people, especially of the millennial Christian generation, blessings are a quantification of our possessions or the qualification of our position.

However, a more wholesome perspective on blessing is to look at it as a measure of How much you can give for God or how much God is able to do through you.

With this in mind, let's return to our theme of Divine Alignment.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

There are two aspects to Divine Alignment: SUBMISSION AND SUBJUGATION. As some would say, those are very big words; I'll say yes, but with an even bigger implication on your life and season than you may realise!

SUBMISSION: The first aspect of divine alignment is submission.

As can be incorporated from the word, it is bringing yourself under subjection to His mission. It is an act of surrender or sacrifice where you give God permission to have full access to all that you are, have, or will be. You bring your will, your desires, your substance into alignment with His will for your life.

Are you at that place yet?

This is a very critical place to reach before you can experience the other aspect of divine alignment -

SUBJUGATION:

The word subjugate means -

1. To bring under control, especially by military force; conquer.

2. To make subordinate or subject to the dominion of something else.

In effect, it is the exercise of the authority that you have in Christ, as you bring every area of your life and circumstances that are out of order, into alignment with the word of God, and under the control and dominion of the power of Christ.

Everything in your life happening to you and against you, and which are contrary to God's purpose for your life and His will for your destiny, are commanded to fall into place and align with God's original intention and redemptive plans for your life!

As you can see, submission is internal, pertaining to things happening in you, while subjugation is external, to do with things happening to you or around you. God wants you to push in prayer for His perfect will saints!

Matthew 6:9-12 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.”

- Matthew 6:10b

In the third petition of the Lord’s prayer, Jesus instructs us to pray for God’s will to be done. This request flows from the petition for God’s kingdom to come, for the Lord’s kingdom is present where we find righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17). Such fruits are possible only as we do the will of God.

It is not wrong to do God’s will because it is our duty to obey Him. However, God wants us to be content with His will, to seek to do His will not merely out of duty but because we are delighted to follow His commandments. By His grace, over the course of our lives, He makes us increasingly willing to obey Him even when it is hard. Let us pray that He would make us willing to do His will this day.

Romans 8:25-28 “26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [a]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”

God's will for our lives has reason and purpose. It is through scripture, where we can find meaning and principles discerning God's will. Use these Bible verses to gain a better understanding.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

1 Timothy 2:3-4 “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 4:3 “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;”

Hebrews 13:20-21 “Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

KEEP ASKING, SEEKING, KNOCKING

Matthew 7:7-11 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

Too often, believers view God as a great cosmic Santa Claus: We think of our prayers not as petitions but as demands. Then, if God does not grant our request, we’re thrown into a faith crisis, believing He no longer answers us. The real problem, however, is that we misunderstand the Lord’s three answers to prayer:

1. Yes. We love this response! There is nothing more exhilarating or faith-inspiring than to watch the Lord move mountains to provide what we once considered impossible.

2. No. Here is where the problems begin for us. But we must accept the fact that God says no to some of our requests. This is certainly not because He’s greedy or uncaring—on the contrary, He is generous, loving, and concerned about His children.

Matthew 7:11 does not say God will give “everything to those who ask Him,” does it? No, it says that the heavenly Father will give what is good to those who ask. Quite often, giving “what is good” means that He doesn’t agree to things He knows are wrong for us.

3. Wait. This answer can be even harder than a flat-out no. Yet some things that are good and godly may still be wrong for us today. Remember, God is eternal; He sees all time at the same time. If He regards tomorrow’s blessing as a curse today, He’ll withhold it for a season until we’re ready to receive it.

Saints, do not be misled if God’s response isn’t what you expected—or wanted—to hear. Instead, praise the Lord for answering our requests the way He knows they should be answered! Today is your day to claim His best perfect will for your lives saints!

God, Your Word says that whatever I bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever I loose on earth is loosed in heaven. Therefore, on the authority of Your Word, I bind every force that has set itself against my financial prosperity! I HEREBY DECLARE ALL CURSES AGAINST ME NULL, VOID, AND HARMLESS! I AM REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF POVERTY! I AM FREE FROM OPPRESSION!

PRAYER FOCUS DAY 3:

Surrender: Lord I surrender my life to you. My body, my will, my desires, my dreams, my all.

Divine Intervention: Divine orchestration - where God divinely intervenes in a situation to bring order out of chaos, and hope out of a hopeless situation (Call out to God for intervention in your situation)

Divine Leading:

The footsteps of the righteous are ordered by God. As many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Order my steps Lord; constrain my steps and the steps of my helpers to be at the right place at the right time for my benefit.

Divine Positioning: Locate me in the place of my breakthrough; let my miracle locate me at the point of my need.

Divine Alignment: Command every area of your life and every day of the coming year to come into alignment with God's plans for you in this season.

Let it be done in my life and in my situation as it has already been established in heaven.

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.

Pray for all the singles partaking in the fast who are seeking life partners. Ask God to guide them to the person who will really be a blessed spouse to that person. Pray for wisdom, guidance, and strength to overcome fleshly desires.

Pray for all our team’s effectiveness and unity in not only this mission but across the nations who subscribe to repentance Revival in Jesus mighty name! “So, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind” (Philippians 2:1-2).

Pray for more workers to join us in the future on the mission field to spark and watch revival spread in Jesus mighty name! “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest” (Luke 10:2).

Pray for all our local contacts and friendships, for open hearts, and transformed lives to come from this gospel message and spark revival in Jesus mighty name! “At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ” (Colossians 4:3).

Pray for the country, government, and the local people in the nations we visit and within your nation so the gospel can spread and every hinderance to the gospel be removed in Jesus mighty name! “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare” (Jeremiah 29:7).
