Promise for this week:

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,
¹¹ So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me ^[a]void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:10-11).

God gave us His Word with a specific purpose: It testifies of Him. That testimony transforms, invigorates, gives life, restores, illuminates, brings hope and prepares us for the heavenly home. How often do you share His Word with those you wish to see in Heaven? Today it is easier than ever. There is no excuse.

Share, share, share…

Share a portion of the Word daily with your family. Even those who seem uninterested will benefit from a promise, a counsel or a story, if you share it in the moment appointed by God. Pray to know what and when to share. Then, remember that His Word will not return empty. It will, little by little, but persistently press on. Soon, those hardened hearts will become sensitive and responsive to the heavenly call because the light from the throne of grace reached that heart! Praise the Lord!

My prayer

Dear heavenly Father:

I thank you for the power of your Word. Teach me which portion of, how and when to share your Word. May each heart of those I love respond to your call. Work your will in each heart, so that your Word does not return void. I thank you for your promise and for the work it will do in my heart and in each member of my family. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

PLEASE, SHARE THIS PROMISE, THAT IT MAY BECOME A BLESSING IN YOUR FAMILY AND MANY MORE FAMILIES.  

This prayer initiative is not done by chance.  Each week we set aside this time to fast and pray specifically for this purpose.

Who? We invite YOU. Join us in prayer and fasting for our children and family.

When?  Each Friday, from 1:00 pm, up to Sabbath at 1:00 pm.

How? After our lunch on Friday, we start fasting: We skip our Friday supper and we also skip breakfast on Sabbath morning. We finish our fast on Sabbath at 1:00 pm (just in time to have the Sabbath lunch with our friends and family!).

NOTE: You can adjust this to your medical needs. One may opt to partially fast by drinking only natural fruit juices or by eating some raw fruit instead of abstaining from food. But it is important that we unite in prayer for our purpose.

Tips for this special time:

• Silently study today’s Bible verse (s).
• Set aside different times throughout the day/night to talk to God regarding your loved ones and those you wish to see in heaven. Prayerfully ask the Lord to fulfill this specific promise in your own life and in the lives of your loved ones.
• Please, remember there are many more united in prayer for this purpose. When you pray, please include a request for all the families united in this endeavor.
• You may want to write this weekend’s Bible verse(s) and place it where it is visible, as a personal reminder.
• When it is time to end the fasting (In time for Sabbath lunch with the family, thank God for the victory that He will give to your family and the rest of the families united in prayer.

Remember: We can achieve victory through prayer.

May the Lord bless you abundantly and grant you the requests of your heart according to His promise and great mercy.
