1 Kings 19:2-4 (NASB)
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” And he was afraid and arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

Would you stop for a moment, please?
I promise only to take a moment of your time.
Unfortunately new circumstances
have placed me in this current bind.
Anything you can offer is appreciated,
no matter how great or small.
All it takes is a bit of compassion
to help me rise from this fall.

for you to come my way.
No doubt the Lord’s voice led you here;
No doubt you’ve obeyed without delay.
As many have felt stirring, this year marks a monumental change in the course of history. A sword has been released to cut bondage of that was released in the 60s and usher in a restoration of the generations to Christ. To prepare, many will be joining together for 40 days of fasting1 to end the 40 years of destruction, culminating with a day of corporate fasting and prayer.
