For more than 15 years thousands of believers from coast to coast of this great land have joined us fasting twice weekly for the restoration of America and the protection of our military, police and firefighters. We now open up our company prayer time and invite believers to join us daily, cognizant of Heaven’s warning that we cannot allow one day to pass without prayer or evil will have renewed inroads to wreak havoc on our families. Each day we dawn the critical spiritual armor to protect our families and lift up our nation. In 30 minutes we praise, pray in the spirit, pray in repentance, pray for deliverance from evil’s reach & we read the most widely studied scripture passages in the world that day. We end with the biblical meditation of the rosary, prayed to God the Father, as punctuated by the greatest miracle of the 20th century when the heavens were rearranged while 75,000 watched in awe. We do this in 30 minutes that can be listened to on drive time, during the 4th Watch or as we right our priorities at day’s end. Sign up below and we will email you each day with the link to our prayer time. We hope to changes lives, families and the heights of our nation by making it convenient and pleasant to pray in a group each day rather than just talking about the Lord.
After He healed, raised the dead and walked on water, Jesus commanded us – Go and “Do Greater Things.” We want to take Him up on that.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5
1When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; 4and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power, 5that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Psalm
Psalms 119:97-102
97Oh, how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. 98Thy commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. 99I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100I understand more than the aged, for I keep thy precepts. 101I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep thy word. 102I do not turn aside from thy ordinances, for thou hast taught me.
Gospel
Luke 4:16-30
16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read; 17and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written, 18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” 20And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” 23And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself; what we have heard you did at Caperʹna-um, do here also in your own country.’ ” 24And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country. 25But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Eliʹjah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; 26and Eliʹjah was sent to none of them but only to Zarʹephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Eliʹsha; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naʹaman the Syrian.” 28When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. 30But passing through the midst of them he went away.
