Dear
Darlene, having never fasted for more than three days, the call for a 40 day
fast is somewhat mind-boggling to me but please give me more information as to
purpose and call. Love Elaine

Response to Elaine:
"Behold,
I am going to send for many fishermen,' declares the Lord, 'and they will fish
for them; and afterwards, I shall send for many hunters and they will hunt them
from every mountain and every hill, and from the clefts of the rocks.
“For
My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their
iniquity concealed from My eyes. And I
will first doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted
My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable
idols and with their abominations.'
“O
Lord my strength and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of distress, to
Thee the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, 'Our fathers
have inherited nothing but falsehood.
Futility and things of no profit.'
Can man make gods for himself?
Yet they are not gods!
'Therefore,
I am going to make them know - This time I will make them know My power and My
might; and they shall know that My name is the Lord.'" Jeremiah 16:14-21
“Now
learn the parable from the fig tree:
when its branch has already become tender, and puts forth its leaves,
you know that summer is near; even so you too, when you see all these things,
recognize that He is near, right at the door.
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these
things take place. Heaven and earth will
pass away, but My words shall not pass away." Matthew 24:32-35
I
received a catalogue selling Christian books yesterday and was amazed at the
number of titles and topics covered with slick colours and sales
descriptions. Out of the catalogue
dropped a plain paper flyer (isn't it annoying when those things keep dropping
out of a magazine you're reading?). As I
went to put it aside, the very contrast of the plain paper to the slick paper
made me stop and look at it.
“Do you know there will be a time of prayer with
fasting
for 40 days beginning 26 February through 9 April
2020?”
I
was stunned at the simplicity and clarity of the call to participate. No sales copy here, just hearts united to
yearn together before the Throne for God to bring revival to this needy
world. Perhaps it's something God will
lay on your heart. If you're interested in
learning more, send me an e-mail.
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, who still prays for you each morning. Darlene

pray for the health care workers, those trying to contain the spread and most
importantly those who contract the virus – that they are wise and take
precautions to protect others.

- Scott – getting married March 26th, they will be a
blended and Blessed couple. Thank
you for praying all these years for him and his children.
- Baby Jolie– a
year old struggling to recover from meningitis and kidney failure. Still in hospital. Her leg wound remains a concern and
amputation is still a possibility.
She is responding and VERY SLOWLY getting better. Many hurdles have been crossed with
prayer and great Doctors, with several more to cross before she can go
home. (she will need full-time
nursing care) but it could be as soon as two weeks. Praise the Lord. Family so grateful for all your prayers.
- Savannah – has a very long road to travel.
The 15-year-old granddaughter of Cliff and Beth, diagnosed with a difficult-to-treat,
psychological disorder with potential serious consequences. New meds seem to be helping. She is showing progress with this brain
injury. Pray for her attitude,
wisdom for her health carers, patience for her parents and complete healing.
- USA President Donald Trump – It is our responsibility as Christians to
remember God has a plan through this man. If you doubt the importance of his
appointment, just look at how much antagonism there is against him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to
thwart God’s plan. Pray someone
helps President Trump understand the true meaning of a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ, that he will have a driving hunger to read
God’s Word for himself and that God sends a Bible-believing Christian to
regularly disciple him in the Truth and that God shuts the mouths of the
false prophets who circle around him.
- Fred – is making plans to move from California to Tennessee in the first
quarter of 2020. Pray for his wise
attention to details and stamina as he makes this life change.
- Tracey – Pray Tracey finds a new role to satisfy her and allow her to grow
and share her skills and wisdom.
- Me – The Lord has provided me with a short, 4-week project. Thank you for praying. Please pray He finds a way for my laptop
to be fixed soon (if you receive the email version with the full prayer
list, the formatting is different (sorry).
