If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. –II Chronicles 7:14
Throughout the Bible the number 40 seems to have a special spiritual significance. When the flood came in Noah's day, it rained 40 days and nights. Israel wandered in the desert and ate heaven-sent manna for 40 years. Moses fasted and prayed in Jehovah's presence for 40 days and nights. Israel's spies explored the Promised Land for 40 days. Jonah gave the city of Nineveh 40 days to repent or be destroyed. Most importantly, Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness fasting, praying, and combating Satan.
As churches and as a community we are being called to follow the example of Jesus by spending the next 40 days in concentrated, coordinated prayer. If you are willing to be a part of this spiritual discipline, please use each day’s prayer guide to pray for at least five minutes a day for 40 days, and to pray for the specific needs identified by many of the area ministers.
