🧭 OPENING THOUGHT: ALIGNMENT UNLOCKS DESTINY

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind… that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” — Romans 12:2

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10

As we stand between completion (July) and new beginnings (August), this fast is not a ritual—it is a divine recalibration. God is calling us to realign our hearts, homes, and ministries with Heaven’s original blueprint.

This one-day fast carries eternal weight and prophetic timing. Let your heart be open and your spirit ready.

🌟 WHY THIS FAST IS STRATEGIC (Summary)

This fast marks a spiritual transition—from July (completion) to August (new beginnings). In a time of global shaking, we seek divine alignment, clarity, and covering. This is a gateway to:

• Receive clear instruction for life, ministry, and destiny

• Walk in Kingdom order above confusion and delay

• See FCC/LCC advance in unity, growth, and family salvation

📖 KEY SCRIPTURES FOR TODAY

• Romans 12:2 – Mind renewal for transformation

• Matthew 6:10 – Heaven’s will made manifest

• Isaiah 54:2–3 – Expansion and increase

• Job 22:28 – Decree and establishment

• Zechariah 13:7 – Strike the shepherd…

• Luke 22:31–32 – Jesus prayed for Peter’s preservation

🙏 ALIGNING PRAYER POINTS

1. Align Through Worship and Thanksgiving

Romans 12:1

• Thank God for preserving your life through July.

• Worship with reverence—this is your spiritual act of service.

• Present your body, soul, and spirit afresh on the altar of alignment.

2. Supernatural Heart Alignment

Psalm 51:10; Philippians 1:9–10

• Ask God to purify your heart and renew your spirit.

• Pray for the Holy Spirit to align your desires with Heaven.

• Declare spiritual renewal over FCC and LCC.

3. Declare Heaven’s Will Over August

Matthew 6:10

• Command divine alignment over the new month.

• Pray for clarity, timing, and the unfolding of God’s plan.

4. Reject Evil Seeds and Negative Reports

Matthew 15:13

• Uproot anything in your life or church that God did not plant.

• Cancel bad news, false accusations, fear, and demonic agendas.

5. Unity and Leadership Alignment

Ephesians 4:3

• Pray for the bond of peace across all departments and leaders.

• Rebuke division, offense, and misalignment in FCC and LCC.

6. Expansion and Increase (Isaiah 54 Mandate)

Isaiah 54:2–3

• Prophesy supernatural growth and enlargement on every side.

• Decree open doors, church growth, and kingdom advancement.

7. Salvation for Families

Acts 16:31; Job 22:28

• Declare household salvation.

• Call back prodigals, break yokes of unbelief, and release household revival.

🔒 CLOSING WORD: COVER THE SHEPHERD

“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered…” — Zechariah 13:7

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you…” — Luke 22:31–32

Before we finalize our prayer points, understand this: Satan always targets the shepherd.

• He came after Adam to destroy the foundation of family.

• He attacked Jesus to stop the redemption plan.

• He demanded Peter, the pillar of the early church.

This is why our final focus is to cover Pastor Joseph, Lady Anita, and their household in deep intercession. As we secure the shepherd, we preserve the flock and protect the gates of purpose.

8. Prayer for Pastor Joseph & Family

Zechariah 13:7; Luke 22:31–32

• Cover Pastor Joseph and Lady Anita with the blood of Jesus.

• Pray divine preservation, strength, discernment, and peace over them.

• Rebuke every arrow sent against their health, marriage, children, and calling.

• Declare: “The shepherd is shielded, and the flock is empowered!”
