Men always ought to pray and not to faint (Luke 18:1)

You might already have dates and times for prayer for the nation in your church. All we want is for you to let us know so we can join our prayers with yours. Our aim is to cover the whole nation in one united canopy of prayer. "If my people who are called by My name will 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 heal their land' (2 Chronicles 7:14)."

It is time to fight the good fight of faith for our beloved country. This is a call to arms, a call to war. There can be no more apathy and malaise in prayer; no more weak faithless prayers. Put on your armour soldier!

EM Bounds said: "The Christian soldier is to pray in all seasons and under all circumstances. His/her praying must be arranged in order to cover times of peace as well as active conflict. It must be available in her marching and her fighting. Prayer must diffuse all effort, impregnate all ventures, decide all issues. Fervent supplication must be added to steady resolve. Prayer and supplication must supplement the armour of God."

As a leader or member of a church, organisation or network, fix a date or days of prayer in the diary and call for a day or night of prayer for your community, city and country.

YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!!

If you would like to get your church, organisation or network involved and perhaps you want to connect as an individual, please visit our website www.gdoplondon.com , send an email to info@gdoplondon.com or call us on 08456528600.

If My people, who are called by My Name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chron. 7 v 14 (KJV) Christians, including me, need to do this ASAP!
