40 Day Prayer

40 DAYS PRAYER and FASTING – SOME FACTS, SOME AIMS, THE VISION

Ø      DATES: from Friday 10 October to Tuesday 18 November

Ø      Fasting in some way is important.  “Many of God’s choicest provisions for His people can be appropriated only by prayer and fasting combined.”  (Derek Prince)  Fasting is one way to humble ourselves before God as in 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Ø      The topic is abortion in New Zealand.

Ø      Two comments that influenced me: 

Pastor Dennis McLeod, Hamilton, said early 2003, “I believe the Lord said we won’t have revival until we deal with the abortion issue.”

Adrian Watts, Wellington, convenor of the Solemn Assembly, 2007, said at that time, “Every precious move of God over the last 30 years has been aborted, none has reached full term.”

There is a spiritual consequence over our nation of abortion in the natural.

We are announcing FULL TIME for abortion in NZ!

Ø      The Lord said: 

“Abortion is of national importance, your nation is at stake.  Like Joel call a holy fast.”

Ø      A daily prayer guide will be available in printed form, via email, or this website.  Praying regularly in groups, worshipping in 24/7 HOP, etc are encouraged.

Ø      The 40 days starts on 10th of 10th month.

The number 10 means: law, order, government, restoration, fullness, completion, deliverance, trial, testing.

It also means tithe.  40 days is approximately 10% of 365 days; we especially tithe these days to the Lord.

Ø      In Hamilton we plan to launch the 40 days at 10am, in the “Abortion Prayer Room”, in conjunction with a regional Solemn Assembly we are holding 10-12 October.

We also plan to hold a 10 hour “Candle Light Vigil” for the issue of abortion from 10pm on the 10th.

We are encouraging other cities/towns to set up an Abortion Prayer Room 24-7 style for as many days as it can be sustained, for people to visit, be challenged and stimulated to pray. 

We are also encouraging other cities/towns to hold a Candle Light Vigil on the night of 10th October, from 10pm.  Let’s shine lights – the Light of Christ – all over NZ into the darkness of abortion.

The Jewish Day of Atonement, their most solemn day, is from sundown 9th to sundown 10th.

Ø      AIMS: to encourage as many Christians across the nation of NZ to commit to fasting and praying for 40 days for this issue of abortion; for Christians to come out of the shackles of apathy into corporate action, coming together, working together as one Body in obedience to God’s Word; for every city/town to be represented by an individual/group/congregation willing to stand in the gap for their area.

To better understand, and pray into, the effects and consequences of abortion on NZ.

To rent the veil over NZ so God’s light will shine on this topic of abortion, and great conviction will fall on New Zealanders, godly sorrow will lead to deep repentance and change.

To encourage those under 30 years of age (the law was passed in 1977), to engage with, and examine the abortion issue, to make life-changing decisions towards God’s ways of purity and the valuing of virginity.

To connect with, and experience, the Father heart of God regarding abortion, so we understand it from His perspective and can pray according to His will.
