When the Lord first told me to fast and pray for men it felt so definite and clear. Then the idea just began to unfold including calling all women from all over the world to participate.
What I never realized was the true impact that it would bring. First, I have been so encouraged from the response of the women, my dear sisters in Christ. The responses to me and on my blog just confirm the purity of hearts, humbleness and true support for the men in our lives and of the world.
Thank you so much for your support and participation. I know many of you sent the word on to other women and I thank you so much for believing in this vision and calling.
Second of all, I wasn’t expecting response of any, from the men that we were interceding for. However, I received two emails that expressed such gratitude and complete answer to prayer. Both of them had a thankful heart for the acknowledgement of the attacks on their lives, for prayer and our repentance. This had been something that they have been waiting and praying for. This alone brought much support and true affirmation of what the Lord was calling us too. Thank you guys!
The Day of Impact for me in Costa Rica was great. I felt the Lord was calling me to fast breakfast and lunch and then break it with dinner. He also gave the vision to have our squad of girls pray in the morning and then in the evening covering our six squad guys in prayer and blessings.
The prayer was amazing! We started this time with praising God with truth of His character and also for the men that He created. This time was truly impactful and was so essential in getting our hearts pure and in tune to His Spirit. Then we paired up and sat before the Lord and asked Him to reveal the things we needed to repent for on behalf of the men. Wow! This was impactful for me to realize the things that I may have done that have offended my true brothers (Mark, Eric and Dennis) and other guys that are in my life. It was such freedom to lay them before God, my Father, and know that it is done and forgiven. My heart was light and full of awareness of how to be deliberate in honoring them in different ways. We then came back as a whole group(about 16)held hands, and finished the time with lifting up specific prayer coverings over fathers, brothers, nephews, uncles, friends, future husbands, and general prayers over all men.
After over an hour the time was blessed and ended. It was a great beginning to the day that was to bring much prayer and uplifting of those men we truly love and respect.
The evening prayer was very special. I, along with a couple of the other gals was able to share wonderful testimonies of support that they received from both men and woman about the day.
We then circled around our guys, (the brave, warrior, serving brothers) who have become our family over these months. We covered them in prayer, bound up things over their lives, proclaimed protection and blessings over them. It was truly a night of unconditional love for them.
I know that on the day of April 30th we as prayer warriors made an impact. The heart of God was blessed for our obedience and heart to intercede for His sons. We truly did storm the gates of Heaven and stirred up the gates of Hell. The Enemy is not happy to see this type of interceding and the outcome that it will produce. Please continue to cover the men we love in prayer.
One of the awareness’s that many of us woman had was that we don’t lift up the generation of boys and men often enough. We were convicted and encouraged to do so on a more regular basis. I know that there is going to be changes and answered prayers to our interceding. Let this day be only the spark to a wild fire that will continue.
I know the positive responses I have had thus far really encouraged me, so if you have a testimony of this day to share please post them on this blog. I know that these stories are a testament of God’s goodness, power and love. And I know that sharing the impact of this day will bring even more confirmation of the power it had.
So sisters, please be blessed! encouraged! and know that your are loved! and appreciated!
Again, thanks for your love and support!
