JULY 2013 PRAYER AND FASTING

WEEK TWO

REMINDER ON APPROVED FASTING

Brethren, before we go into the prayer points for the week, it is necessary for us to once again remind ourselves of the kind of fasting that is approved by God.

According to Zech 7: 1-10, Isa 58: 1-7, we must do the following while fasting:

• ·         Administer true justice (be fair) to everyone
• ·         Show Mercy to everyone (especially those that obviously need it)
• ·         Be compassionate and Kind to everyone
• ·         Do not oppress anyone (especially widows, orphans and strangers, that is those who seem to have no helper or defender)
• ·         Liberate the Oppressed and the burdened (as much as is within your power)
• ·         Fight for those that are suffering injustice and being cheated
• ·         Not do evil to anyone
• ·         Deny yourself of pleasures (such as food, sex, hobbies)
• ·         Share your food to the hungry (give out your lunch or money for lunch)
• ·         Provide Shelter to the homeless (you can contribute to the THC welfare account)
• ·         Clothe the naked (give out your old clothes to those who need them)
• ·         Help all those that need it especially members of your families (natural and spiritual)
• ·         Spend Quality time alone with God in Thanksgiving, Worship, The Word, Prayer (Supplication and Intercession), and Hearing from God
• ·         Have the right attitude (be thankful and joyous not frowning)

When we do the above we will reap the full benefits of fasting and the results will be obvious to all to the Glory of God. The Lord shall hear our prayers and exceed our every expectation. Amen.

DAILY CONFESSION/DECLARATION:Isa 61:3-11

I (your full name), this day July _____ 2013 in my month of Supernatural Replacement in my year of All Round Beauty and Establishment confess and declare according to the Word of the Lord in Isa 61, that I receive beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, (state all other replacements that you desire).

Indeed I will be called the tree of righteousness, the planting of the LORD and HE will be glorified in my life.

I will build the old wastes, raise up the former desolations and repair the waste cities, the desolation of many generations. Strangers shall stand and feed my flocks, and the sons of the aliens shall be my plowmen and my vine-dressers. I shall be named the Priest of the LORD: men shall call me the Minister of our God. I shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall I boast yourselves.

For my shame I have double; and for every confusion I shall have clarity and rejoice. Therefore in my land I possess the double and everlasting joy is my portion.For my LORD loves judgment and hates robbery for burnt offering. Yes My God will direct my work in truth and make an everlasting covenant with me. My seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and my offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for HE hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, HE hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.  For as the earth brings forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth in The Truth House Church and we shall bring HIM Glory before all the nations.
