The National Day Prayer

Now more than ever before, prayer is needed in the United States of America. Prayer has always moved God and caused Him to act on our behalf. As the scripture state in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Prayer brings about a healing for those who call out to God in faith.

On May 6, 2021, our Nation will observe a National Day of Prayer. This is an opportunity to unite the Body of Christ in prayer from coast to coast. When the people of God gather to pray we stir up the gift of God in the entire Nation. We increase the presence of the Lord and the power that comes from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Rather you are the Canaanite Woman praying for her daughter to be heled in Matthew chapter 15, or you are a Hannah, mother of Samuel praying to God to hear your cry and heal your affliction. History has shown that when women pray, God listens! Luke 18:1 declared that “…men ought always to pray, and not to faint;” Prayer has always moved God and caused Him to act on our behalf.

So, on Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 7 PM, please join us in warfare-prayer as we declare victory for God’s people. Please call 1 (978) 990-5000, Access Code 891408

In His Service,
