A Call To Fast And Pray This Coming Weekend by Rick Ridding (8/31-9/2)

Pursuing Intimacy With God:The Persevering Power
Matthew 11:12 “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Dear Abba Father,
Oh Father, How precious it is to come before You every day at this time to meet with You! How we long to be closer to You and spend more time with You. Every time we come face to face with You, we can pour out our hearts to You! But many times, we do not have the tenacity and perseverance to persist. It seems that we would often give up so easily. Lord Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is entered by violence; those who strive to enter would make it. Spiritual tenacity is the continuous passion to pursue God and the willingness to abandon ourselves, forsaking our sinful natures; spiritual tenacity is able to help us pursue God with a heart of passion, holiness and perseverance as we run the heavenly race. Oh Father, how we look up to You; during this fasting season, we ask you to transform us, change our attitude toward life and give us more passion to pursue You. You are our strength, our help and our victory; You reward those who seek You. Oh, Abba Father, we ask You for grace to persevere and greater spiritual tenacity to pursue You.
In the name of Lord Jesus we pray, Amen!
Repentance for Church01

- Romans 12:1-2 :Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
【Current Condition: The advancement of technology and the Internet in the recent century has not enriched our lives or reduced our workload. It has brought more pressures and challenges to both life and family. We have neglected building our families and underestimated the impact of the changing social atmosphere on our surroundings. This has given the enemy free entrance into our culture and families, hurting our children and destroying families, many divorces. Without strong family units, the church become weak, powerless and indifferent by each generation.】
【Prayers】
- Repent For The Secularization of The Church: Lord, we have departed from You, not following Your commandments and went on our own way,. We not only follow our selfish desires and use the values of the world in doing things. We failed to be a positive influence on society. We are apathetic towards our communities, indifferent towards injustice and unrighteous issues. Our behavior is no different from unbelievers. The church is secularized, compromise with evil power. Lord, I come and bow down before You for the church, please forgive us, give us a broken and contrite heart and tears of repentance, to come before You together, to earnestly repent.
- Restore The Church to Her First Love, and Honor God: Lord, cleanse us from all sins and unrighteousness with the blood of the Lord Jesus. Restore us to our first love so that we can honor the Lord above all things. In this critical time, raise us up again through the power of the Holy Spirit, to break every chains and bondage, and control, to demolish the dividing walls within the church, the church will no longer be weak, and minding one’s own business, we will build up the Body of Christ with one heart and one mind, to take back her authority and be the salt and light in our cities and nations, so the world may see our good deeds, and give God all the glory!
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!

There are often wildfires in the dry season, and trees are being cut down due to rapid economic development.

The Central African Congo forest fires are very dense. At present, more than 10,000 forest fires, five times more than Brazil. The reason is that most farmers burn the farm, causing ecological crisis and erosion of soil, massive trees are being cut down in the forest, causing destruction of ecology, only 9 % of the population in DR Congo has electricity.

Pray for Israel: Intercede Concerning Anti-Semitism
【Background: The anti-Semitism practices have led to disastrous consequences in history. Since the Roman Empire, European history was filled with violent acts against the Jews, such as the Crusader looting and massacring Jews. However, the culmination of anti-Semitism was the Holocaust by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945 when 6 million Jews perished. In addition, regrettably, the leader of the Reformation, Martin Luther, with his strong anti-Semitic rhetoric, has contributed significant anti-Semitic influence in Germany and around the world. Today, many churches still believe in the replacement theology.
Anti-Semitism is growing at an alarming rate today. Many statistics show that the degree of anti-Semitism now is equivalent to that before the second World War. Today, God’s chosen people is still suffering on many fronts. Surrounded by Arab countries, many of Israel’s neighbors are threats to her, for example, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Iran. As Israel continues to face natural calamities as well as man-made disasters, the church must pray for her, our spiritual elder brother, with love and actions. 】

Shalom Shalom,
I wanted to share with you the message from my land.
Since I returned from Taiwan. I came back with the revelation of how the Blessings from the land of correct alignment are together. I came back and worked in plants I planted 15th years ago.
I didn’t not use any fertilizer, just the revelation.
This is a key element that has been lost and stolen among First Nations.
I have never had such a harvest of blueberries, it’s a record.
Before Taiwan I have given up on them, I have been mowing them down over the past few years because they didn’t produce much.
This year I trimmed back all that was dead and put down plastic to keep the weeds out.
In this growing zone because of the high elevation grapes are not supposed to grow.
I planted about 5 vines,15 years ago and have only 2 left.
I pruned and trimmed vines I almost mowed down 1 vine was just a stub.
Grapes that are not supposed to grow in this zone are growing.
Usually the apples in this zone don’t produce, some years we may get some but not very good apples. This year is a record year, the most in 20 years. Here is the amazing part, they are without spot or blemish. Very round and perfect. Generally they are deformed and have worms and spots and blemishes. Never this record crop. All the trees are like this.I planted some butternut trees 15 years ago. They have never produced. This year I have 2 nuts.I have a record number of doves living in the area. Some years we have had a couple come and go, but this year I have seen as many as 10 together and they are staying here. They are here every day singing.
Our Heavenly Creator is speaking from the land.

Pray for Hong Kong – Supernatural Transformation in the Next 10 Days
【Current Event: Since June 9th Hong Kong has been marked with protests and, in recent weeks, those protests have turned violent. Corruption has been exposed to the whole world. It is a time when everything is polarized and, even within families, people are split and at odds with each other. The global economy has even been impacted. As things begin to come to a head, there is a looming sense of fear over what will happen next that has settled over the city. It is vitally important we do not respond with fear of what seems to be impending upon our city, but rather it is in this time that we are called to pray and discover God’s heart for our city and His heartbeat for everyone within our city, and find ways to partner with Him. It’s time we speak boldly what He is saying and proclaim it loudly to any who have an ear to hear. It is time to arise in faith and not let our hearts be disheartened.
Hong Kong’s Unique Call: God has a specific call and purpose for Hong Kong. We see it through our city’s unique history and culture. For over a century, Hong Kong has stood as a gateway city for the Gospel to both China and even to much of Asia. God has miraculously preserved Hong Kong in the past 50 years, to be both a city of refuge and a city on a hill. It has a call to both influence and to serve.
Esau’s Stew: In this spiritual fight, it is important for Hong Kong to beware of “Esau’s stew,” that is, an easy way to satisfy a legitimate hunger at the price of giving up its birthright. In Genesis, Esau was ravenously hungry, so his brother decided it would be a good idea to sell a bowl of his stew in return for Esau’s birthright, and in an act of haste to satisfy his legitimate hunger, Esau sold his birthright.
Hong Kong, God Is With You, He is for you, and His purposes are filled with hope in your regard. Your light will shine and you will be a city on a hill. My heart will be revealed through this city. Even as I have lifted you from your shame, you will lift others from their shame and help cause them to shine. I am not through here, I am just beginning.”
Young Generation in Hong Kong: Young generation is being discovered with the passion of God’s heart for justice, and they will rebuild the foundation of this city with righteousness and justice. More high-level corruption will be revealed, the system that hinders Hong Kong’s calling will be removed, the dividing walls will be demolished, rise up many healers and builders to pave the way for Hong Kong’s restoration.
Would you join us for the next ten days? I would encourage you to receive communion on a daily basis as a reminder of all that He promises His people, and that we have been given full access to these great and mighty promises through His Cross, and that with Him all things are possible.

Revival Testimony：The Wave of Black American’s Revival – The Time of Slavery Is Over, the Time of Freedom Has Come
Be holy, for God is Holy
When God created mankind, He breathed on men. All “God’s character and divinity” of dignity, freedom, conscience, righteousness, goodness, gentleness, etc. are all within us. Therefore, whenever, the “divineness” of human beings is being deprived or suppressed, causing great suffering and groaning, God will not turn His face from it.
After the fall of men, people often take the blessing of God for granted. Only come to cherish the understanding of God’s good intentions, after losing their “divineness”. Freedom is a good example. God has foreseen it, and warned us first, so when we look back, we understand the truth He was saying, and how precious is what He has done for us! Let us look at how God taught His people Israel about freedom.
First, God answers Abram’s questions with a solemn prophecy. “But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?” (Genesis 15:8)
Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.” (Genesis 15:13-14)
The Lord assured Abram with His own name that not only you will have descendants, but they will become slaves for four hundred years. But they eventually will be set free. In this process, God revealed to the Israelites:
- God cares very much about the people he created, especially when their “divineness” is deprived. “The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering, ” (Exodus 3: 7).
- God not only cares about the deprivation of the “divineness” of the people he created, but more about how to restore His original intent: “Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.”… ” (Exodus 4:22-23 a) We are created with a plan and purpose, our identity is honorable. So, after 400 years of slavery, the Israelites finally regain their freedom. They clearly understood that “freedom” is an indispensable gift within the Breath of God in creation!
- What concerns God most is, His created man can truly love and enjoy His “divineness”. “ ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites. “(Exodus 19: 4-6) God allowed the Israelites to see, all the effort He went through is for them to understand their true identity.
The United States is Entering Such A Turning Point This Year
The first slave ship from African arrived America landed on Virginia Beach in August 1919. It is exactly 400 years in 2019. In the past 400 years, much fierce and horrible conflicts occurred between black and white due to ethnic issues. It has submerge since. Although people do not speak or act out, however the gulf of gap still affects the entire country, with unceasing pain. Everyone knows that this is a difficult problem, but most people, including Christians, have avoided it, especially the new immigrants.
Pastor Joseph Green’s is a wonderful Plan of God !
Since 2016, he realized it is time to face the root issue of the black slaves. Since 2019 marks 400 years of black slave came to the United States. This is an opportunity. God’s timing has come.
Praise the Lord, after much of his laboring in travel to share his vision around USA, he has finally received responses from the church and political realm. In particular, he brought this issue to the Congress and was elected as the chairman of the committee. He was also recognized by President Trump, which was a giant step forward.
On August 21 this year, more than a dozen Chinese representatives also participated in this historic moment. The worship of Jamie Fitt, from Philadelphia Tabernacle of David, and the dance and worship of the Chinese brought the worship into the prophetic inner chamber. Pastor Joseph Green shared the truth in the Bible with such a clearity and thoroughness, Mama Bunny represented the white people came forward to confess and repentant before everyone and the deep and spiritual declaration of the Pastor Venessa Battle. Finally, everyone by fatih prophetically took the offering with the heart of dedication and walked through Red Sea that was divided, and went out of four hundred years of dark slavery, into the light and freedom that God had prepared.
We deeply understand that the declarations of the critical mass in unity will ignite the tipping point for the revival of the United States. Because critical issues have been dealt with and satisfied. Here are some of the points received from the gathering:
- God’s Time Has Come : Not only it is four hundred years, it is also 40 days before The Feast of Trumpet of the Jewish calendar 5780. And 70th year anniversary of many significant historical events (for example, 70 year of The People’s Republic of China). God will fulfill His will, so it is very important for us to discern and know the timing of God to cooperate with God.
- The Ethnic Color of Man Is Not The Issue, The Sinful Nature of Man Is The Root Cause : “ From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands..” ( Act:17:26 ), It is clear that human beings are not ethnic, but came from the same source. The emphasis on racism, or the over-emphasis of racial discrimination, fuels this false issue. We can see, there are many examples of suffering from oppression and killings within the same skin color, Example such as Luwanda (Rwanda), from April 7 to July 1994, in just three months, killing between 500,000 to one million slaughtered in the civil war. More horribly the proportion of the killing of Luanda Christians is as high as 90%. How can such a horrible Genocide happen? So, this is not a racial problem, but an issue of human sin.
In addition, Benin in West Africa is probably the country with the largest number of slaves in African countries with more than two million (counting from year 1500). Their people were actually betrayed by their own leaders. Because of greedy for weapons or other materials, they exchanged them with their own people, in fear of they coming back for revenge. The chiefs cursed the family they sold, Today, there is still a Door of No Return at the seaside of their country, to commemorate this sad history.
- Repent And Confession Is The Fundamental Way: Mama Bonnie, took the gavel the former KKK judge used in court to represent all the injustices done by the white people in the past. That really touch the people, and see the deeper the confession, the weaker the dark rule of the devil’s. Nancy Barth, the descendant of former US President William Henry Harrison, also flew from California to come to confess and repent on behalf of her ancestors, all this brought forth the declaration of the black Pastor Vennesa, to cut off every chain, and enter into the new territory. I am convinced that as confession and declaration continue to increase, the stronger the anointing will be, to lift the burden from the shoulders and yoke from the neck will be broken ( Isaiah 10:27)
- The United States will Revive, Because Nations Are Waiting: Personally I am convinced that The United States will revive. The Native American, Blacks, and Jews are indeed the targets of discrimination and being oppressed in the past, long-term indifference had allowed the dark force to take legal hold on them.
Praise the Lord, for giving a group of humble Chinese to take part in this. May the Lord revive the United States and Nations. (Source: Pastor Peng from NJ, USA)
