Isaiah 40:31 ‘But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.’

DAILY READING; Acts 18; Judges 9; Job 38

The rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak of World War II sent a tremor of terror across Europe. As Hitler’s focus turned on conquering Britain in 1940, very little stood in his way. However, when all hope seemed lost, God used a company of intercessors, to stand in the gap for the deliverance of Britain.
Rees Howells was the founder of The Bible College of Wales.
The College was a training ground for young missionaries and also a base for intercessory prayer. While the physical war raged, they waged fierce spiritual warfare against Hitler.
Through all the years of the war, the whole College was in prayer every morning, mid-day, evening and midnight. Some days were wholly given to prayer and fasting.
In May, 1940, Hitler’s blitzkrieg began to roll across France and the Low Countries. As news of Hitler’s advance came over the radio and in the newspapers each day, Rees Howell remained confident that God would deliver Britain. He gave public predictions of victory that were often published in the Western Mail and other Newspapers.
As Rees and his company of intercessors continued to press into prayer, something mysterious happened. At a time when Hitler’s army had surrounded retreating British soldiers and their allies at Dunkirk, and were pressing in to finish them off, suddenly for no reason, Hitler overruled his generals and halted the attack. This gave thousands of British soldiers and allies opportunity to escape and eventually re-strategize for the full assault that defeated Hitler in 1945.
Till date, historians still have no clear explanation why Hitler stopped his attack, but Rees Howell and his army of intercessors knew undoubtedly that the power of God engaged through prayers had stopped the enemy in his tracks.

Indeed God works wonders through prayers. No matter how formidable any enemy advancing against you, when you persist in prayers, God will stop the enemy in his tracks.
Challenges are real to life. And sometimes it may seem as if the forces coming against you are greater than what you can handle. But God has given us the power of prayer to wage war against every enemy of our destiny and crush every opposition to our advancement.
With the great prophecy of wonder spoken over us this year, the enemy would try everything to stop the fulfillment.
However, through waiting upon The Lord in fasting and prayers, we can stop the enemy’s attempt to resist Heaven’s agenda.
Prayer is the key that unlocks the gates of Heaven and closes the gates of Hell. Through prayer the enemy’s plots are shattered and Heaven’s plans prevail.
If you truly want to see miracles, signs and wonders, then you must pray. Great and mighty things happen when we exercise the awesome privilege of prayer.
When Moses prayed, the Red Sea parted and God made a way for His people through the mighty waters. When Joshua prayed, the sun and the moon stood still for almost 24 hours and Israel won the battle against their enemies.
Also as we pray in this season, certainly we shall see amazing signs and wonders of God. Through the power of prayer we will stop every enemy of our destiny and enforce the fulfilment of Heaven’s agenda for us this year.
Certainly we do not wait for prophecies; we war with them. And as we war a good warfare this season, we shall see inexplicable miracles in our lives.
It is important that we pray according to Scriptures because Prayers based on what is written receives Heaven’s priority treatment. Also as we engage the power of praise, God will certainly arise to scatter every spiritual gang-up against us and establish our victory in every battle.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for granting me the grace to engage the power of prayer in this season. As I wait upon You, let my strength be renewed to mount up to greater heights of exploits and glory in Jesus Name.
