Day20 of the 21Days Prayer Series:
Transformation 20:Missions-Mindedness:
Christianity is a movement of people-a people of God who are mission-minded, always ready to meet needs and even preempt them.
This truth brings to mind Barnabas. Originally named Joseph (Joses), the Apostles renamed him Barnabas, which means “son of consolation” or “son of encouragement.”
The Bible tells us that, besides his servant-heart, he was a good man filled with the Holy Spirit, winning many souls to God (see Acts 4:36-37; 11:24-30).
He was there for others-morally, financially, and spiritually.
Barnabas is a model to emulate.
Not only did he support others, but he also backed the Apostles with his finances, selling his property and giving the proceeds to support the mission.
His life reminds us of the beauty of being a blessing to others.
Since transitioning from frontline missions to internet missions, I have earnestly prayed to keep the chain of support going.
I confess that I miss the fulfillment that comes from being a tangible blessing to others, and I’ve been praying for financial miracles to enable me to do even more for frontline ministers-especially those serving in rural communities.
It isn’t enough to just drop a dime in the offering basket.
We must be like Barnabas, the son of consolation-supporting ministers of the Gospel rather than judging them.
Let us pray:
Father God, thank You for every soul serving in frontline ministries around the world, as well as those ministering in local churches.
I pray for a multiplier effect upon their finances.
Protect, preserve, and provide for those who serve in hostile environments.
Touch the hearts and finances of everyone who reads this post, filling them with a strong desire to serve and bless others in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Shalom,
Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D.

Day19 of the 21 Days Prayer Series:
Subject: Transformation19 -Excellence.
Diligence always pays off! Today, we reflect on the inspiring story of Abiathar, whose name means “Father of Excellence” or “Father of Abundance.”
Abiathar was a devoted priest who served King David faithfully (see 1 Chronicles 15:11; 1 Samuel 23:6, 30:7).
David’s reward is a powerful reminder that God rewards diligence more than anyone else (See Hebrews 11:6).
As we serve God in our various ministries, let us trust that He will richly reward our dedication.
Scripture tells us that God is faithful, keeping His promises to a thousand generations (See Deuteronomy 7:9).
We are called to hold fast to His Word and His essence, knowing that He equips and rewards us for service.
Let’s Pray Together:
Father God, thank You for the honor of Your call into Your service.
Thank You for anointing us for excellence.
We stand against all forms of mediocrity and frustrating circumstances, and we declare that we will operate at an optimum level.
In Your faithfulness, lead us to even greater heights of excellence in every field of ministry in the matchless name of Jesus.
Shalom,
Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D.

Day18 of the 21 days Prayer Series.
Subject:Transformation18:
Triumphant Leadership.
In 2 Corinthians 2:14, the Apostle Paul writes,
“thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere!”
What an awesome promise!
This powerful truth brings to mind the inspiring story of Deborah the Prophetess.
During a time when the oppression of the Canaanites left God’s people demoralized and defeated, God raised Deborah to lead His people into victory.
Though the men had lost their will to fight, Deborah-both a spiritual and physical warrior-was anointed by God to deliver Israel from their oppressors.
Key Takeaways:
God’s Empowerment:
Like Gideon and Deborah, God chooses and empowers those whose hearts are devoted to Him, regardless of our self-confidence or worldly status.
Women of Valor:
If you’ve ever been told that your gender restricts your role, remember Deborah.
In Psalm 68:11, the original text tells us, “The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great army.”
Women, you have a powerful role in proclaiming the Good News and standing strong for your family.
Shared Responsibility:
It’s not just about one person’s role: if you’re a woman, do not lament over a husband not fulfilling every role.
Your family is yours too.
Pray, take action, and refuse to let satanic oppression have a foothold in your home.
Let Us Pray:
Father God, thank You for always leading us to triumph, in every battleground of the mind, the spirit realm, and in all systems of governance.
Thank You for the resurrection power that vitalizes our mortal bodies.
We lift up our husbands, sons, brothers, and every male member of our families.
We command the spirit of heaviness, lethargy, depression, and low self-esteem to leave them now.
I release to them now, the anointing of Your Spirit to ignite a good work within them, so that they will stand up strong for the job and for their families.
Thank You for all the women in ministry who, through Your guidance and grace, press forward to the mark of the high calling in Jesus Christ’s matchless name.
Empower us to be like Deborah-bold, victorious, and ever-triumphant in Your name.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we declare victory.
Shalom!

Day14 of the 21 days Prayer Series.
Subject: Transformation 14-Supernatural Favors.
Today, I had the privilege of ministering by video to a congregation in Pakistan.
They were all sitting on the floor. There were lots of women and children in that congregation. A growing church. Their pastor is so blessed.
So much love, joy and peace.
Which brings me to the Apostle Philip. He was very evangelistic. (Acts 8:26-40)
He never hesitated when Jesus called him and he went right ahead and invited Nathaniel to join with the team (see John 1:43-51)
Philip was a great soul winner and was actively involved in all the major aspects of our Lord’s earthly ministry.
After the resurrection, Philip and the other apostles were working in the desert of Samaria, when he was called out and given a special assignment to Gaza.
He was divinely appointed to meet an Ethiopian Eunuch, a high official in Queen Candace court.
Philip explained scriptures to him and later baptized him.
The next we read about Philip in scripture is about his 4 daughters who were prophetesses in Caesarea!
From the desert of Samaria to Caesarea, a wealthy town! What a transformation,
Indeed, the Word is profitable!.
After ministering to the Ethiopian Eunuch the Queen’s treasurer, hardship vanished for Philip.
God rewarded his faithfulness in ministry with supernatural favors.
#MyPrayer4you:
I pray for you that your labors in the service of God will be richly rewarded in the here and hereafter, in Jesus’s name.
You will have supernatural favors, and unlimited goodness in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Day13 of the 21 days Prayer Series:
Subject: Transformation 13: Rapid Response.
We recorded 2 videos this evening for upload to our channel @thespiritualwarrior2016. The prayer session was very intense.
Which reminds me of the intensity of Hannah’s Prayer.
Hannah’s sister-wife Peninnah, was a bully. But she had more children than she could care for.
Whereas Hannah, the calm, coolheaded and God loving woman was barren.
One day, the bullying was more than Hannah could bear. Instead of wasting energy in confronting Peninah, Hannah took her troubles to God.
Even in the house of prayer, the man of God misunderstood her heartfelt prayers for the ravings of a drunken woman.
Calmly, Hannah explained what she was doing and why she was doing it.
And the Man of God blessed her, and God confirmed the word of his servant- Hannah became a mother of several children- including the famous Prophet Samuel!
God indeed transformed the life of Hannan.
Read the story in 1 Samuel 1- end. Read Hannah’s song of deliverance in 1st Samuel chapter 2.
Today, I stand with you in prayer that God will remember you for good and rapidly respond to your prayer request, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Stay in faith.
Stay encouraged, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Day12 of the 21 days Prayer Series
Transformation 12: From glory to Glory.
Greetings everyone.
Thank you for subscribing to our YouTube channel @thespiritualwarrior2016
My prayer for you is that you will master your situation and circumstances and be the best version of you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Which brings to mind Timothy.
(Read 1 & 2 Timothy).
Timothy was really a controversial figure to be in a leadership position.
He was young, sickly, and from a biracial family. He was so low on self-esteem that Apostle Paul exhorted him to not allow anyone to take advantage of him, but rather, to be an example to other Believers in conduct, faith, love and speech (1 Timothy 4:12).
Fast forward to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 where the Apostle Paul referred to Timothy as dear Son!
What a transformation!
Timothy who started out with so many disadvantages made his mentor Apostle Paul, very proud to refer to him as a dear Son.
What are the issues that you are holding unto as disadvantages?
Health issues, age, racial or gender discrimination should never deter you from attaining your goals.
Let Timothy’s transformation be an example that will motivate you to reinvent yourself.
#MyPrayer4You
Today, I command those disadvantages to convert to advantages and bring you to the limelight.
I declare that you are a city set on a hill that cannot be ignored.
Your ministry, marriage, family, business and spiritual life shall prosper.
I release to you now, the anointing of God’s Spirit that brings transformation!
Go! And radiate God’s glory in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Day11 of the 21 days Prayer Series.
Transformation11: Excellence in Life & Ministry.
Today was such a gloriously busy day. We recorded our next videos for our YouTube channel @thespiritualwarrior2016.
We absolutely enjoy sharing our faith in God with others.
Which reminds me of how committed the Apostle Paul was when he said;
”…this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 3:13-14 KJV)
The Apostle Paul had to work harder than all the other Apostles.
Although he faced strong opposition from his contemporaries, and was discriminated against because of his background, he never slowed down!
He kept reaching forward for excellence. Eventually, he established his self worth and authority.
What excuses can you hide behind as the reason for failures, mediocrity, and your desire to quit living?
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
You don’t quit because of frustrating circumstances.
Instead, you frustrate the circumstances and then master them.
You make adversity work for you. You use them as a stepping stone to greater heights.
A born again child of God is a mighty warrior in God’s army.
We establish perimeters, set goals, and fight the good fight of faith.
Although the Apostle Paul was compelled to struggle more than others, it paid off for him and us.
How? He became one of the most influential followers of Christ, about half of the New Testament is attributed to Paul and those who were influenced by life and works in ministry!
If his detractors could not stop him, and he overcame all the obstacles of discrimination and attained excellence in life and ministry, Beloved, you too can attain excellence In life and ministry, you can do it.
Today. I stand with you in prayers to encourage and to ignite a fire in you.
You are who God says you are.
You can become the best at what you do without compromising your beliefs or work ethics. Go for it – Excel, for as a Christian you are the excellent creation of God. Know who you are.
Let us Pray
Prayer Points

Confront the evil of mediocrity, frustrating circumstances, and apathy.

I pray for you that from henceforth, you effort will be emotionally fulfilling and financially rewarding in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Day9 of the 21 days Prayer Series.
Subject: Restoration 9- Prevailing mercy.
Hey precious friend. Trust your month is going well.
You could send a prayer request or share your testimony with me as well. It will be encouraging.
I really do need God’s mercy to prevail in my life. He did it for Abigail, I know that He will do it in my life as well.
If you need to experience God’s prevailing mercy, then join me in this prayer as I use what God did for Abigail as a point of contact.
Abigail was married to Nabal whose name means “the fool”.
His foolishness was of epic proportion because he dared to insult an exiled anointed king who was a warrior!
King David was so angry that he decided to avenge the insult.
When Abigail heard how her husband had released the spirit of death over their household, she quickly intervened and stopped David from his murderous rage.
The foolish Nabal suffered a paralysis and later died.
Eventually Abigail became the wife of King David – a far more exalted position than what she was. Read about Abigail in 1 Samuel 25, 2 Samuel 3:3)
Today, we shall prayer fully ask God to:
a). Supernaturally intervene to stop all negative decree, decisions, rulings, etc that will affect us, our children or generations following.
b). Declare that the Godly wisdom that enables you to do the right things at the right time, is manifesting in your life.
c). Proclaim that God’s mercy is Prevailing over all barriers, bottlenecks of bureaucracy, resistances, roadblocks, decrees, policies that are attempting to frustrate your
your unprecedented progress.
d) Declare that grace and favor are working relentlessly and you will be singled out for supernatural favors- for God is causing All things to work together for your good.
e) Command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, all the evil spirits that are working against your next levels.
f). Declare that nothing can stop you from attaining your goals, fulfilling your dreams or from sharing your testimony of favorable circumstances and miraculous interventions.
I stand with you in prayers, and declare that your expectations will be granted and the book of remembrance is opened and your case will be revisited in your favor, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ
If you have not subscribed to my YouTube @thespiritualwarrior2016 please do so.
We have been discussing spiritual warfare practically.
If David a mere man could remember Abigail and blessed her, rest in the knowledge that God will remember you for favors
Read Psalm 86:17.
God bless you.

Pray again for rainfall for Southern California.
This is not the time to apportion blame or politicize the situation.
From various news reports, we have been informed that the wildfires raging across Southern California are fuelled by the severe drought conditions, and strong winds.
Way back in 1 Kings 18: 16-45, Prophet Elijah had a confrontation with King Ahab to establish spiritual boundaries and reinforce faith in God.
Prior to that, there was drought in the land, which was the direct consequence for idolatry and other evils.
And when Elijah intervened, the situation changed favorably for the people, and for the land.
As our picture post states,
“Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.” James 5:17-18 NLT.
Thank you for praying before. This time, let us pray for the skies to send down rain, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
