Season of Alignment

There is a notable transformation taking place in society around the globe. God aligns everything for His purpose. Where is Jesus in the midst of all this? We need to adjust our lives to match God’s current move.

Week 1: A Season of Testing Before Trusting
• Read Matthew 9:18-26 and Mark 5:21-41
• Two generations transformed: the young and the adult, both experiencing the miracle of Jesus
• The young girl and the woman both represent different stages of life and healing.
• The woman's faith overrides her fear of ritual uncleanness.
• Jesus identifies Himself as the bridegroom (Matthew 9:15), linking the miracles to the future marriage supper of the Lamb.
• Just believe

PRAYER POINTS:
• Pray that we do not limit God's miracles in our lives, regardless of our stage of life. Jesus' healing power is available to all who are willing to accept and believe in His ability to perform supernatural healing.
• Pray for a transformation that leads to total obedience following God's miracles. Let us live entirely for His glory, boldly sharing what He has done so that the world might hear of and witness His incredible goodness.
• Pray for a faith to arise that triumphs over all unbelief and fear that often paralyze us and prevent us from receiving supernatural healing. May faith be established within us so that our inner trust and belief align with God's power. When our hearts are in alignment with His will, we can experience supernatural healing manifesting in our natural lives.
• Pray that we rest in the confidence of Jesus’ love for us, the love of a Bridegroom who gave His life for us. May we truly experience the abundance of life He secured through His sacrifice on the cross.
• Pray for a childlike faith that refuses to doubt God’s love. Let us approach the Father with confidence, knowing He is a good Father who never hesitates to provide for us and is always mindful of what is best for His children.

Week 2: The Appointed Season Cannot Be Stopped
• Read Mark 5:1-20, Mark 6:53-56
• They’d rather have a demonized man and an economy that works for them than have the man healed. We are now living in a consumer-driven comfort culture.
• The demoniac's transformation and his desire to follow Jesus illustrates the power of healing and deliverance.
• Jesus was rejected (Mark 5:17). The healed man proclaimed Jesus to 10 cities (Mark 5:20). When Jesus returned to the region the people welcomed Him (Mark 6:53-56).
• The healed & delivered demoniac became a transformation agent.

PRAYER POINTS:
• Pray that we never choose our own comfort over the healing of others. May we refuse to compromise or leave people in oppression when we know Jesus has the power to heal them. Ask for the compassion and love of Christ to grow within us, driving us to share God's supernatural work with everyone in need.
• Pray that those who experience supernatural miracles find their lives truly transformed. May they give themselves in total surrender and obedience to Jesus, who has provided everything they need. Pray that they walk in a new life in Christ, continually led by the Spirit, leaving their old ways behind to embrace a new identity and complete freedom.
• Pray that those who experience miracles and deliverance will become bold ambassadors for the Kingdom. May their transformation lead many to know Jesus, His love, His power, and His glory. May that same glory and supernatural miracles be manifested in the lives of all who are willing to believe in Him.
• Pray that a deep passion would rise within us to act as agents of transformation in our world. Pray and ask the Lord to use us to lead the lost and the hopeless back to life in Him, that they might experience the power of being healed, liberated, and delivered from all that binds them.

Week 3: When the Season Shifts Suddenly
• Read Mark 4:35-41
• The only time Jesus says, “Shut up” [silence] is to demonic forces. This is no normal weather pattern.
• Recognize that Jesus is on a mission and wants to co-commission his disciples to go with him.
• The storm doesn't wake Jesus. We have a cultural term called being woke, which is tied to social injustice. Jesus is way past woke. Jesus is the King of Justice and the King of glory.
• Remain faithful to the testimony of Jesus. The word testimony [marturia], from which we get the word martyr [witness], is tied to the cross-shaped life.

PRAYER POINTS:
• Pray that we truly walk in what we believe, knowing that we have the power and authority to resist and command every enemy force trying to pull us into the storms of depression, anxiety, fear, and panic. We are children of the Almighty God, and greater is He who lives in us than any demonic force that exists outside of us.
• Pray over every injustice and unfair treatment we have endured, whether within our families, society, schools, or workplaces. The Lord sees them all; His hand is never too short to save, His ear is ever-attentive to our cry, and His watchful eyes never leave His children. Isaiah 59:1 NIV - "Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear." Psalm 34:15 (NIV) - "The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry."
• Pray that we remain faithful to our purpose as witnesses of Christ. May we fulfill the mandate to preach the Gospel and make disciples, dedicated to the expansion of His Kingdom on earth. Matthew 28:19–20 NIV - "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Week 4: Bearing Fruit in the Right Season
• Read Psalm chapter 1 & 2, Ezekiel 3:1-15,
• Who are we walking with? Who are we standing with? Who are we sitting with?
• The counsel of the godless [evil counsel, not just evil opinion; this is a council of voices dictating and devising evil].
• Read Psalm 40:7-8, Hebrews 10:7, Luke 24:27. Who is this blessed man [iysh]?
• The early apostles and fathers and mothers of the church said this could only be one Person. Iysh = represents the resurrected ruler.
• Psalm one introduces us to Christ himself before He arrives.

PRAYER POINTS:
• Pray that the blessings of the Lord will continue to manifest in our lives as we walk faithfully according to His Word. Let us stand firm against the influence of a twisted culture, choosing instead to find our deepest joy in the Word and the will of the Father.
• Pray that we wisely choose those with whom we associate. May we stand firm in our trust in the Lord, being those who influence others for good rather than being influenced by those who reject the truth. Pray for wisdom and revelation to speak the truth in love, bringing light into the darkness of the communities where the Lord has placed us.
• Pray that we will not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but will instead be continually renewed and washed by the Word. Pray that as our minds are transformed, we would be able to discern and approve God’s will. His good, pleasing, and perfect will
• Pray that as we obey and persistently do the Father’s will, we will continue to bear fruit in every season. May our lives would yield a constant harvest of spiritual fruit, manifesting the love, joy, peace, and long-suffering of Christ in every season of our journey.
