Dear Heavenly Father, today I bring before You the world’s largest island, but smallest continent: Australia, and I thank You that You are mindful of them. Not one thing that occurs in this fascinating region goes unnoticed or undirected by Your Sovereign will.
Tragedy has struck the people of this land and how their cry surely has reached Your ears. Use every loss, O God, every tear, every sighing of the heart, to draw them to Yourself. Make Yourself known to this nation.
How often we are drawn into complacency and the liberties that we have, are taken for granted. History has proved that when there is peace within our borders and very little to oppose us, we tend to grow lax in our faith. Therefore, let the churches be granted illumination as the light of Your grace shines upon their minds. Let them see their state before You and stir their hearts as never before. Raise up those who are cast down and humble those who have exalted themselves. Let them see the beauty in pain and the perfection of suffering.

“Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
We all have our burdens. Of course, they are not the same in all. Some are more apparent than others. There are people whose burdens we all see. These get our sympathy; we come up to them with love’s warmth and help. There are others, however, whose burdens are not visible. It seems to us they have no trouble, no struggle, no loads to carry. We envy their lot. Probably, however, if we knew all that God knows about their lot—our envy would change to sympathy. The burdens that the world cannot see—are often the heaviest. The sorrows that are not announced in the obituaries, and endure no viewing—are often the hardest to bear.
It is not wise for us to think that our burden is greater than our neighbor’s; perhaps his is really greater than ours. We sometimes wish that we might change places with some other person. We imagine that our lives would he a great deal easier, if we could do this, and that we could live more amiably and beautifully than we do, or more usefully and helpfully.

Most Holy Father, today my prayers are directed toward the country of the Philippines. I know many dear and faithful brethren in this land for whom I give You thanks. What a joy it is to hear of their faith and obedience to our glorious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I ask Your blessing and protection upon them, as You supply their every need. May their faith be known throughout the world, as precious and genuine.
But oh Father, I also am aware of the terrible deception that lies within this land. So many are bound by superstition that springs from the false church of Rome. These precious people are held captive by an oppressive religion that cannot be called Christianity. In a few months, O Lord, they will parade down the streets, repeatedly beating themselves, trying to mimic the sacrifice of Your Son. Others, will even drive nails through their hands and feet! O what wicked religion it is that does not see the sacrifice of Christ as enough! Have mercy upon their ignorance, O Lord…have mercy!

In this e-book, Kasera does an excellent job at exposing the core beliefs of the Word of Faith movement. His exposition not only points out the error, but solid biblical correction to such false teachings.
Such teaching, as found in the Word of Faith movement, spoil the foundations of the gospel in one’s life. To remove such false doctrine takes diligent study and this booklet is an excellent resource to begin your journey into truth.
As you read these words, may the Lord grant you light and free you from the bondages that so deceptively presents itself as “freedom”.

Dear Heavenly Father, today I lift before You the United Kingdom. O Lord, I humbly ask that You would awaken and shake this nation, that it may turn its heart to the Desire of Nations, Lord Jesus Christ.
As I pray, I am reminded that from this nation arose some of the greatest reformers whose influence still reaches into the world today. O God, have mercy upon this now darkened land and raise up those You have reserved to have a voice whose cry is far more invasive than the ones that now exist. Open to them a door to speak forth the mysteries of Christ that Your gospel may be preached in this land. Resurrect what once was alive! O God, have mercy and shine Your light into the darkness once again.

Oh my Father, as I begin lifting the nations before you, my heart is greatly burdened for my own country. Oh Lord, this land that is a place known for its godly heritage, has become, itself, a hedonistic mission field. This land has become corrupt from one end to the other. From the White House to the mission house…it is altogether defiled.
There have been many prayers offered for our nation’s leaders. We even have special days set apart where we specifically intercede for them. But, O Lord, it is not for these leaders which my heart aches, but it is for that which calls itself Your church. O God! What lies are being told in Your name! What sheering of the sheep! What gross negligence and blatant fraud!
