SEASON OF LETTER FROM PASTOR
SACRIFICE

Hello Church,

In Luke 4:1 it is said of Jesus that He was full of the Holy Ghost and led by the
Spirit into a wilderness of fasting and prayer for forty days. In verse 14 the
Scripture tells us that He returned from the wilderness in the power of the Spirit.

It is through the self-sacrifice of fasting and prayer that we discovered the
power of the Spirit that is locked within the experience of the Holy Ghost that
we have all received. Another place Jesus remarked that some types of deliver-
ance can only be accomplished through much prayer and fasting. I believe that
there are three physical areas of prayer, which are:

1. When we pray with the understanding (in your natural language) our soul man
is praying,
2. When we pray in the Spirit (Speaking with tongues) our spirit man is praying
3. When we fast our body is praying. Every hunger pain becomes a voice of prayer.
The weakness of our flesh is translated into holy strength and power of the Spirit.
The aching headache becomes incense of intersession. Do not be frustrated if you
find the other dimensions of prayer difficult or elusive when you are fasting-your
fasting is prayer in itself.

I firmly believe that great prayer comes through fasting and sacrific e. We cannot
pray in the depths that we desire and in the realms that God would use us without
fasting. This sacrifice will motivate my soul and spirit man prayer into a more in-
tense and deeper dimension. If not during the fast, then after it is concluded.

I am partnering with you for the next for twenty-one days of sacrifice from this
day until January 24th. I believe that we will see unprecedented benefits as a
result of this season, I challenge you individually to maximize your participation
i n S . O . S . Yo u w i l l g et o u t o f t h i s s e a s o n p r o p o r t i o n at e l y t o y o u r i nv e s t m e nt . J o h n
the Baptist said, I must decrease so that He might increase.” Fasting does not
make God more powerful, but rather removes the obstruction of self so that the
power of God that is within us can be more freely manifested.

If we sow sparingly, we will also reap sparingly; but if we sow bountifully, we will
reap bountifully. Stretch yourself. Do more than you have ever done before. Be
part of the investment so that you can rejoice in the dividends.

LO R D ’ S P R AY E R

The Lord’s Prayer is often recited in churches or at religious events, but there’s
so much more to this prayer. Jesus provided this model as an outline to teach us
how to pray in a way that connects us to God and empowers us to accomplish great
things through Him. This model takes us through each par t of The Lord’s Prayer,
showing us how to pray the way Jesus instructed.

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When He finished, one of His disci-
ples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray…”
LUKE 11:1

M AT T H E W 6 : 9 - 1 3 N K J V
“ O u r F at h e r i n H e av e n , h a l l ow e d b e Yo u r N a m e . Yo u r K i n g d o m c o m e . Yo u r w i l l b e
done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us
our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but de-
l i v e r u s f r o m t h e e v i l o n e . F o r Yo u r s i s t h e K i n g d o m a n d t h e p ow e r a n d t h e g l o r y
forever. Amen.”

C O N N E C T I O N W I T H G O D R E L AT I O N A L LY

“Our Father in Heaven”
God isn’t interested in us practicing religion; instead, He desires a relationship
with us. God has adopted us as His children and loves for us to call Him our Fa-
ther. Starting our prayer time acknowledging our relationship with God is powerful
for us and delights Him as well.

R O M A N S 8 : 1 5 N LT
Yo u h av e n o t r e c e i v e d a s p i r i t t h at m a k e s y o u f e a r fu l s l av e s . I n s t e a d , y o u
received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call
Him, “Abba, Father.”

Proclaim your intimate relationship with God, addressing Him lovingly as your Fa-
ther and thanking Him that you are His child.
P R AY E R :
“ F at h e r , I c o m e t o Yo u i n p r ay e r t o d ay t h a n k fu l t h at I a m Yo u r c h i l d . I k n ow I a m a
s i n n e r , b u t Yo u h av e fo r g i v e n m e a n d a d o p t e d m e a s Yo u r ow n , a n d I a m s o g r at e fu l
to call you my Father. Thank you for loving me. I love you.”

WORSHIP HIS NAME

“ H a l l ow e d B e Yo u r N a m e ”
God loves when we worship Him, and there is power in His Name. Here is a list
of some of His Names to help us worship Him specifically and personally:

God is Righteousness – He makes us clean
God is Sanctifier – He has called us and set us apart God is Healer – He heals
all our diseases
God is Banner of Victory – He defeated our enemies God is Shepherd – He
speaks to us and leads us God is Peace – He is our peace in every storm
God is Provider – He supplies all of our needs

PROVERBS 18 : 10 ESV W E E K O N E : F A S T I N G + P R AY E R
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is
safe.”

Speak God’s Names out loud. When we proclaim who He is, we not only worship
Him, but we also remind ourselves how powerful and great our God is.

P R AY E R :
“ G o d , I a m i n aw e o f Yo u . Yo u r N a m e i s a s t r o n g t ow e r , a p l a c e o f p r o t e c t i o n

Yo u r N a m e i s g r e at , a n d I w o r s h i p Yo u . ”

P R AY H I S AG E N D A F I R S T

“ Yo u r K i n g d o m c o m e . Yo u r w i l l b e d o n e o n e a r t h a s i t i s i n H e av e n ”

Part of being a child of God is caring about what He cares about. We know

His will is perfect, and we acknowledge His wisdom and sovereignty when we

pray His agenda first.

LUKE 12:31 TLB
“He will always give you all you need from day to day if you will make the King-
dom of God your primary concern.”

Spend time focusing on what God is focused on. His priorities include:
• Saving the lost
• Wisdom and guidance for those in authority – parental, spiritual,
governmental, work-related
• Accomplishing His purpose in our lives

P R AY E R :
“ G o d , I r e c o g n i z e t h e r e i s n o b et t e r p l a n o n e a r t h t h a n Yo u r s , a n d I p r ay fo r

I pray for the leaders in my life (pray specifically over parents, spiritual leaders,
government leaders, employ- ers, and any other leaders in your life), that you
would give them supernatural wisdom and discernment as they lead. Give them a

will do. I ask today for wisdom and clarity as you show me my next steps.”

DEPEND ON HIM FOR EVERYTHING

“Give us this day our daily bread”
God promises to supply all our needs, and He wants us to come to Him with our
problems, needs, and desires and to trust Him to provide.

P S A L M 1 2 1 : 1 - 2 N LT
“I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the
Lord, who made heaven and earth!”

Ask God for what you need today. It may help to write down the concerns weighing
o n y o u r m i n d o r t h e d e s i r e s o f y o u r h e a r t . Yo u c a n b r i n g t h e m t o G o d , a n d t r u s t
Him enough to hand them over to Him fully. It may help to open your hands be-
fore God to physically show your surrender to Him. Problems can either be ours or
God’s; they can’t be both.

P R AY E R :
“ F at h e r , I a c k n ow l e d g e t h at e v e r y t h i n g I n e e d t o d ay w i l l c o m e f r o m Yo u . Yo u m a d e

T h a n k Yo u i n a d v a n c e fo r t a k i n g c a r e o f my n e e d s . ”

FORGIVE AND BE FORGIVEN

Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors”
God has offered us complete forgiveness, and we can receive it at any time. When
we turn away from our sins and receive His forgiveness, our hearts are more pre-
pared to forgive others as well.

1 JOHN 1:9 forgive us our sins and pu-
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will
rify us from all unrighteousness.”

Ask God to check your heart and life and show you areas where you might need to
ask for forgiveness from Him. Then, it is your turn to forgive those who have of-
fended you. We can even choose to forgive people in advanc e. Ask God to forgive
you and to help you forgive others.

ENGAGE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE

“And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one”

Spiritual warfare can seem difficult to understand, but the Bible makes it very
clear that we have an enemy who is trying to steal from us, kill us, and destroy
us. As we pray, we take our stand against the enemy and fight from a place of
victory through Jesus as we’re empowered by His Holy Spirit. There is power
in God’s Word, and ever y lie the enemy has told us can be repla c ed with God’s
truth.

1 JOHN 1:9
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against
the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

By recognizing that the enemy wants to destroy you, you can shed light on his
lies and claim God’s truth over your life. Ask God to show you any lies you’re
believing or areas of warfare happening in your life. Ask Him to expose the
enemy and to help you understand and receive His truth. Simply speaking the
Name of Jesus has great power in the spiritual realm. The Bible tells us in
James 4:7 that if we resist the devil, he will flee from us. Through prayer, we
can resist him and walk forward in freedom.

P R AY E R :
“God, I recognize that my struggles today aren’t against the people or circum-
stances around me, but against the enemy. Please help me to see how the en-
emy is lying to me. Help me to recognize his lies, take them captive, and make
a l l o f my t h o u g h t s o b e d i e nt t o t h e t r u t h o f Yo u r Wo r d ( l i s t o u t a ny s p e c i f i c
areas God shows you where you have believed a lie that needs to be replaced
w i t h H i s t r u t h ) . Wh i l e t h e e n e my w a nt s t o d e s t r o y m e , I k n ow t h at Yo u c a m e t o
give me life to the fullest. I speak the name of Jesus over my life and declare
that no weapon formed against me will prosper. I don’t have to fear the enemy
because the One who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world.”

W E E K O N E : F A S T I N G + P R AY E R EXPRESS FAITH IN GOD’S ABILITY

“For yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.”
God is more than able to move in every situation, and ending our prayer time
claiming His authority and power focuses our minds on the truth and hope of who
He is and what He can do.
JEREMIAH 32 : 17
“ A h , S o v e r e i g n LO R D , y o u h av e m a d e t h e h e av e n s a n d t h e e a r t h by Yo u r g r e at p ow -
e r a n d o u t s t r et c h e d a r m . N o t h i n g i s t o o h a r d fo r Yo u . ”
Remind yourself of God’s limitless power and then return to praising Him and de-
claring your faith in Him:

• “ Yo u r s i s t h e K i n g d o m ” – a l l au t h o r i t y b e l o n g s t o Yo u
• “ Yo u r s i s t h e Pow e r ” – a l l m i g h t i n e s s f l ow s f r o m Yo u
• “ Yo u r s i s t h e G l o r y ” – Yo u r v i c t o r y w i l l b e c o m p l et e

W E E K T H R E E : F A S T I N G + P R AY E R WARFARE
P R AY E R S

Prayer is not only communion with God; it is also confrontation with the enemy.
When Jesus was on the earth, He came face-to-face with the devil when He was
tempted in the wilderness (see Matthew 4 and Luke 4), and every time the ene-
my tried to tempt Him, Jesus responded with a reference from the Bible. He used
t h e Sw o r d o f Tr u t h t o d e f e n d H i m s e l f fr o m t h e e n emy ’s at t a c k s . C o n s i d e r t h at i n
these exchanges, Jesus didn’t confront the devil as God. He confronted the devil
as a man with the Word of God. We should do the same thing.
These spiritual warfare prayers and verses are examples we can use and adapt
to our specific situations when we or someone we know is under attack from the
devil.

THE ARMOR OF GOD

Based on Ephesians 6:13-17
Knowing that we are in a spiritual battle, God provides spiritual armor and equips
us to take a stand when battles come our way.

Ephesians 6 : 11 - 18
“Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s
schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of
God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground,
and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all
t h e f l a m i n g a r r o w s o f t h e e v i l o n e . Ta k e t h e h e l m e t o f s a l v a t i o n a n d t h e s w o r d o f
the S pirit, which is the Word of God. And pray in the S pirit on all occasi ons with
all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on
praying for all the Lord’s people”

Acknowledge that you’re in a spiritual battle. Then, claim the protection God has
given you by praying through the different pieces of armor
Described in Ephesians 6.

THE WEAPONS OF WARFARE

When we are aware of spiritual warfare, we can be active in praying through
it. God has given us victory and power to fight through the blood of Jesus. The
weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they
have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments
and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we
take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

We often worr y about our safety and protection. When we feel this way, we can
immediately come to God in prayer, pouring out our heart to Him, and battling in
the heaven lies by asking for and claiming protection for ourselves and our fami-
lies in Jesus’ Name.

2 THESSALONIAN 3 : 3

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”

Share your thoughts and concerns with God. Ask Him for His supernatural pro-
tection. He says He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all
your ways (Psalm 91:11). Claim this promise and lay everything down before Him
trusting His good plans and His power to protect you and those you love.

Our sin separates us from God, but Jesus made a way for us to be reunited with
God by covering our sin by dying on the cross. When we accept the gift of salvation
we confess our sin, and as Christians, confessing and repenting of sin is something
we continue to do. By coming clean and repentant before God, He is able to work
in our lives and transform us to be more like Him.
1 JOHN 1:9
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all unrighteousness.”

Assume a posture of humility, and without fear of condemnation or punishment,
come sincerely to God confessing your sin on a regular basis. Whether your sin
feels big or small to you, your sin is still sin and affects your relationship with God.
Yo u g et H i s at t e nt i o n w h e n y o u t e l l H i m y o u r s i n a n d t u r n f r o m t h at s i n t o fo l l ow
Him. After you confess, remind yourself and claim the power of the blood of Jesus
in your life to wash you clean and make you new.

Forgiveness can feel challenging, but God makes it clear in the Bible that He
freely forgives us and we are expected to do the same for others.

M AT T H E W 6 : 1 4 - 1 5
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your
Father will not forgive your sins.”

Come before the Lord with humility, honesty, and sincerity. Share the areas
in your life where you need to forgive others. Even if you aren’t able to settle
a situation with that person, you can settle it with the Lord, letting them off
the hook by forgiving them. As you choose to forgive those who have hurt or
offended you can also praise and thank God for forgiving you when you didn’t
deserve it.

P R AY E R :

“Lord, I have a confession to make. I haven’t loved others well. I have resented

The Bible tells us that pride comes before the fall. Pride can be a very
real issue in our lives, but we have the power to overcome it through Jesus.
PROVERBS 11 : 2

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”

Practicing humility requires overcoming pride in our lives. Just as you con-
fess other sins, regularly confess your pride to God. Submit it to Him, asking
Him to help you walk in humility, free of pride and self-absorption. If you feel
like pride is an issue that continues to surface in your life, confess it daily and
bring it before God.

Generational bondage is sin that can be passed down from generation to gener-
ation. Whether it’s pride, ad diction, divorce, abandonment, sexual sin, or some-
thing else, through spiritual warfare, you can claim the power of Jesus to stop the
sin with your generation not passing it on to anyone else in your family.

EXODUS 20 : 4 - 6
“ Yo u s h a l l n o t m a k e fo r y o u r s e l f a n i m a g e i n t h e fo r m o f a ny t h i n g i n h e av e n a b o v e

worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children
for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my
commandments.”

Recognize the generational bondage that might be in your life and bring it before
God. Ask for His power to defeat the sin that has affected generations of your
family. Ask for it to stop right now, with you, and rebuke any sin or anything that
tries to pull you away from your relationship with Christ. Pray for protection,
healing, and a new path for you and your family.

Our God is a God of miracles. Just as we read about in the Bible, we still see
Him perform miraculous healing today. He is our healer, and we can confidently
approach Him asking for healing for ourselves or someone we know.

PSALM 103:2 - 5
“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your
sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit

and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with RESOURCES
good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

God created marriage, and His design for it is good. In marriage, just as in any
human relationship, we have to work to love well. We can’t do this succ ess-
fully in our own power. We need God, who is love Himself, to give us His Holy
Spirit and to guide us in our marriage. Marriage is a picture of Jesus Christ
and His bride, the Church. As Christian husbands and wives, we have the high
honor to represent the love and commitment Christ has for the Church through
our love and commitment to each other.

EPHESIANS 5 : 25 - 30 ESV
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up
for her, that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of wa-
ter with the Word, so that He mig ht present the church to Himself in splendor,
without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without
blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bod-
ies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh,
but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.”

Thank God for your marriage. Start by asking Him to help you be the best
spouse you can be. Ask Him to help you love well and to see your spouse as
He sees them. Then, pray for your marriage, asking God to use your marriage
to impact the world for Him. Ask Him for protection physically, spiritually, and
emotionally. Pray for unity in your marriage and wisdom from Him about how
to live your lives as one. Bring to Him anything in your marriage that concerns
you, and trust Him to work on your behalf.
