The purpose of this prayer guide is to get to the core of what schemes the enemy often uses to try to “take out” our sent one. These may not be a constant threat, but they definitely are being used against our sent one at some point. If we as senders pray for our sent ones so that the enemy no longer uses these schemes against them; we believe that this would “free” them up for a more powerful ministry. It is hard to deflect the schemes of the enemy and advance (although by the grace of God- they are!). But how much easier the advance if there are not flaming arrows coming at you!?! Let us be the shields for our sent ones. This guide is meant to be used more than once. In the app, the 40 days automatically recycle so you can pray over them again. These are struggles that will continue to need to be fought against. The suggestion is to go through the guide once completely and then as you continue to pray for our sent one look at the table of contents below and ask the Lord which topic they really need prayer for right then. Or if you prefer, just keep going through it! Thank you for your partnership in the advancement of the gospel!
