August 2017

1. Joy- Pray for the body of Christ in Canada to be filled with the joy of the Lord, regardless of our circumstances. Joy that gives strength, endurance and is such a clear sign of God’s life in us. Pray for those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or heaviness, that God would turn their mourning into dancing. 
2. Upgrade- Seek the Lord for a purer, more powerful and fruitful release of all the gifts and anointings in the Canadian Church. May all the soulish mixture be washed away— all that promotes us rather than Jesus. Contend for new levels of prophecy, teaching, hospitality (and all the gifts) to be used to increase the kingdom of God. 
3. Wisdom- May wisdom from above fill the Canadian Church! Cry out for heavenly wisdom to be apprehended for every challenge, or dilemma. One greater than Solomon is in our midst, may Jesus’s wisdom guide all our decisions, our timing and our priorities. 
4. Discipleship- The Great Commission is that we would go and make disciples everywhere, baptizing them and teaching them to obey Jesus. Intercede for a new grace and priority on authentic discipleship, that no one would be left in an immature state. Pray for a groundswell of hunger to be discipled, humble hearts to learn, as well as excellent discipleship strategies to be activated. 
5. Bible- Pray for a deeper love, honour and submission to the Scriptures. Stand in the gap for the Church to be freshly awakened in Bible study, memorization, meditation. Contend for the teaching gift to burst forth with great anointing, and that all preaching would be filled with the revelation of the word of God. Isa 66:2
