This prayer plan is based on the Word of God and was birthed through the leading of the Holy Spirit by Pastor Ronnie Barnard from Word and Life ministries in Johannesburg South Africa. Reference to scripture is made in almost every sentence and as such makes this prayer plan a powerful tool. If you pray through this plan you will quote just over 500 scriptures. You will give the word of God a voice over 500 times according to Ps 103:20. Also, according to this psalm, angels will act in obedience according to the spoken word. The reader is therefore encouraged to memorise the scripture quoted in this plan to bring it to its optimal use. This prayer plan is not just mere words put together, but inspired by the Holy Spirit. By reading and prayer through this prayer plan, a person is taken on a journey of praising God, humbling oneself and holiness to being clothed with the armour of God (Eph 6:10-17) and to use it in accordance with 2 Cor 10:4-6. This plan is presented prayerfully knowing that everyone that use it faithfully, will experience the blessing of God, because God is awake to fulfil the promises of His Word (Jer 1:12).

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!
