Day 24

Coronavirus Global Prayer Devotion – 19 April 2020

Prayer focus – REPENTANCE
(Greek – Metanoia -change of heart, 180 degrees turn )

Let’s pray-

Father this day we humble ourselves before You, for Lord You are gracious and compassionate. You will not turn Your face from us if we return to You. (2 Chronicles 30:9 b)

Lord all of us, as the nations of the world have sinned against You. We want to repent of our own and our nations sins before You our God.

(Take time to examine your own hearts and lives before the Lord – ask His Holy Spirit to show you the sins and condition of your own heart – and as He does it – repent from deep within – remembering that our God is a holy God)

Lord Your word says that when You shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence (coronavirus) among Your people, if we, Your people, who are called by Your name, will humble ourselves and pray and seek Your face and turn from our own wicked ways, then You will hear from heaven, and will forgive our sins and will heal our land.(2 Chronicles 7:13,14 )

Father You called king David a man after Your own heart. (Acts 13:22) Oh Lord he also sinned against You and today we want to use his words of repentance in Psalm 51 to repent to You, our God.

“Lord Have mercy on us , Oh God, because of Your unfailing love. Because of Your great compassion, blot out the stain of our sins. Wash us clean from our guilt. Purify us from our sins. For we recognise our rebellion; it haunts us day and night. Against You, and You alone, have we sinned; we have done what is evil in Your sight. You will be proved right in what You say, and Your judgment against us is just. For we were born sinners — yes, from the moment our mothers conceived us . But You desire honesty from the womb, teaching us wisdom even there. Purify us from our sins, and we will be clean; wash us , and we will be whiter than snow. Oh, give us back our joy again; You have broken us – now let us rejoice. Don’t keep looking at our sins. Remove the stain of our guilt. Create in us a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within us. Do not banish us from Your presence, and don’t take Your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation, and make us willing to obey You. Then we will teach Your ways to rebels, and they will return to You. (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51 :1-13 ‭NLT‬‬)

Forgive us for shedding blood, O God who saves; then we will joyfully sing of Your forgiveness.(‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51 :14 ‭NLT‬‬) Forgive us Lord for all the unborn babies that our nations have killed. Forgive us for all the murders and for all the innocent blood spilled. For the blood spilled in wars. Forgive us also for the hatred against one another.

Lord forgive us for our pride – for thinking that we are better than others, for not bowing our knees to You the Creator of all. Lord forgive us for judging one another, You have not called us to judge but to love with a love that covers and heals. (Matthew 7:1,1 Peter 4:8) Lord forgive us for not loving You or one another – we broke the two most important commandments that You have given us. Yes Lord we broke the royal law.(Matthew 22:36-40, James 2:8 )

Lord forgive us for our unbelief.(John16:9,Hebrews 3:12)

Lord forgive us for our hard, wicked hearts and the wicked words spoken over our lips. (Proverbs 10:19)For Lord it is from out of our hearts that evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, foolishness and all vile things come from.( Mark‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NLT‬‬)Lord forgive us! Lord cleanse our hearts.

Father forgive us for putting our trust in men and not in You! (Psalms 118:8)

Father forgive us for the stealing, the corruption and the many broken covenants – our yes is not yes and our no is not no – we lie and deceive, forgive us. (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:37)

Lord forgive us for falling into the same sins as Sodom – who You destroyed. For behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.(Ezekiel 16:49). Lord have great mercy – forgive us Lord for not caring for the poor and the needy. Open our hearts in this time to love and care for them as many are suffering even more because of this virus.

Lord forgive us for our sexual immorality and idolatry -Forgive us Lord we have sinned Your word says – that wrongdoers will not inherit Your kingdom. Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.(1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NIV) Oh Lord have mercy we are guilty of all these sins and we ask that You would forgive us in Your great mercy! Lord we ask that Your Holy Spirit would convict many across the earth of their sins – Lord in Your great mercy bring them to repentance. Lord let them turn to You.

Forgive us for our occult practices – for worshiping and sacrificing to demons (Deuteronomy 32:17). For witchcraft, divination, sorcery, ancestral worship, talking to mediums – Lord we provoked You to anger , forgive us. ( 2 Chronicles 33:6)Lord cleanse our nations and the land we live on.

Unseal our lips, O Lord, that our mouths may praise You. You do not desire a sacrifice, or we would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice You desire are broken spirits. You will not reject broken and repentant hearts , Oh God. Look with favour on us and help us …”
(‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51: 15-17 ‭NLT‬‬)

Oh Lord we have sinned before You, please accept our repentance and heal our nations. Lord please destroy this coronavirus pestilence across the nations.

We pray this in the Name above all Names , the Name of our Saviour
JESUS CHRIST.

Amen

Eradicating Starvation in Africa 2020 Report

/1 Comment/in /by

Jesus Food Mission Possible by Dick Hochreiter

  The population of Africa is approximately 1 billion 216 million.  The Bible tells us very plainly that the truth will set us free.  Back in 2017 when I received the vision of eradicating starvation in Africa it seemed like an impossible task.

  In the vision the Lord made it very clear that starvation will be eradicated by 2020 and I thought that would be impossible.  When I first looked into what was being said about how many people were dying daily from starvation it certainly seemed like an impossible task.   But as they were saying 12 people were dying every minute from starvation related illness, I prayed and asked the Lord for wisdom and faith to believe it was possible.   I started to have breakthrough revelation.   We believed, and tested, that Jesus Food could package enough food in four hours a day to feed every starving person in Africa.

  Remember I said the truth can set you free? The last day of 2019 the Lord prompted me to do a fact check the world health organization on starvation in Africa.  That fact check revealed that there was actually only one, not twelve, persons dying each minute from starvation related illnesses – mainly children under five years old.  It turned out that the numbers I had relied upon, the most commonly published and referenced, had been greatly exaggerated.

  If one person dies every minute of a day, that is 1440 deaths.

  The fact check said that a high percentage of the deaths are due to the low nutritional content of available food – not a lack of food.  Another part of understanding the truth is that there is a difference between hunger and starvation.  I believe the Lord revealed this to me, that hunger is something He created to motivate people, but starvation is something that the devil is using to kill people.

  As I have personally traveled in Africa, I’ve seen many hungry people, but no starving people. There are many organizations working to eradicate starvation and hunger in Africa, praise the Lord!

  Divide Africa’s population of 1.2 billion by its 55 countries and it would give you roughly 22 million per nation.  If you would take the 1,440 people that die daily from starvation related illnesses – mainly because of a lack of nutrition – you would find that it’s roughly 26 people per 22 million, or 26 people per nation.   Looking at that tiny percentage, I believe it can be said starvation in Africa has been eradicated or so greatly reduced it’s very hard to find in 2020 thank you Jesus.

  Our 2020 vision for Jesus Food is to continue to package food in America and overseas but to put more emphasis on packaging vitamins to supplement the food they already have locally. If this speaks to you please continue to pray and to help us supply vitamins to as many children in Africa as possible. We have just landed vitamins for 288,000 meals in Tanzania and will be packaging and distributing vitamins and meals as the Lord guides us. Please be praying. 

  And of course we will continue to put the gospel on every package of Jesus Food that goes out, so they can get the real spiritual food they need.

  I hope this is an encouragement to all.   We at Jesus Food will continue to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in our desire to fulfill the great commission and usher in the return of Jesus. 

God bless,

Brother Dick Hochreiter
