Day 6 (Dec.9): Read Joshua 6 and 7. We all have our Jericho. That is the invincible place we have to face before we can advance into our promise.

Day 6 (Dec.16):  Read Proverbs 27:17 Pray that many relationships among Thai church  pastors/leaders/Christian workers/missionaries that are now clashing will become flashing “two-edged” swords forged together by the Spirit.  Pray as God forges them into
‘two-edged’ swords, the swords will sever roots of the strongholds of division over families, churches, cities, and nations!

Day 6 (Dec.30):  Read Phil 4:15-23 God has promised to supply our every need.  Finances will be released in a greater measure to be able to allow the Body of Christ to disciple nations. Influence will be a key word for the church. Purpose to be a blessing through giving this coming year. Ask God for his blessing on your work, your home, your office, your projects and your family. Decree that the blessing of God will overtake anything that has come against you in the past.

Day 7 (Dec.31):  Watch for the trap of fornication and adultery as this is a year of purifying motives and holiness in thought and actions. Read Ezra 4,8,9. Do not allow the enemy’s resistance to keep you from moving toward restoration. Ask the Lord to show you when to fast for three straight days.
