Greetings, Women of Honor:

 

This is a big week for many of us who will be gathering in Portland, Oregon to relax and become equipped and empowered at the Revive to Arise Retreat.  

​

Beginning this week, we have set designated times to Fast & Pray, seeking God's will and believing for His divine purposes to be accomplished in and through this retreat experience.

​

 I am calling on all Women of Honor connected to this ministry to join us in fasting and prayer as we fulfill the mandate God has given us to pray over our time together and in this region.

​

For this week, let us join our hearts, minds and bodies in fasting and prayer, seeking God's presence, protection, healing, and direction. We know that God has ordained this gathering for such a time as this and that every detail has been divinely arranged according to His purpose and plans.

​

Retreat Fasting Schedule: Prayer & Fasting for 3 hours duration

Monday – Friday

• 6:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Noon) 

• Drink water as needed.

• Use your fasting time for worship, reading Scriptures, and focused prayer according to the daily prayer emphasis.

• Break your fast at noon with a light and healthy meal.

If you are unable to fast from food for health reasons, consider fasting from social media, television, sweets, or another activity while dedicating that time to prayer.

​​

Five Strategic Prayer Focus Areas:

 

1. Safe Travel & Divine Protection

Scripture: Psalm 91:11

Pray for God's protection over every woman traveling by plane, automobile, train, or other means of transportation. Let there be no delays, accidents, illness, or unexpected obstacles.

 

2. Unity, Love & Sisterhood

Scripture: Psalm 133:1

Pray for divine alignment and hearts united together in love and joy. Remove every distraction, offense, misunderstanding, or division. Let this retreat be filled with encouragement, support, laughter, friendship, and authentic connection. Help us to honor one another and walk together as Women of Honor.

 

3. Healing, Restoration & Renewal

Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-3

Pray for healing in every broken place. Restore joy where there has been sorrow, peace where there has been anxiety, and hope where there has been disappointment. Refresh weary hearts and renew minds. Let every woman experience Your love, comfort, healing, and restoration.

​

4. Activation Through Teaching, Training & Impartation

Scripture: James 1:22

Pray for each attendee to come prepared and ready to receive every word, teaching, training session, prayer, and impartation. Let  every woman activate their gifts, talents, ministries, businesses, books, leadership abilities, and callings. 

​

5. City of Portland, Oregon & The Columbia River Gorge Region

Scripture: Hosea 10:12 "Break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till He come and rain righteousness upon you."

Pray for the City of Portland and the surrounding regions.  We pray that hardened hearts would be softened and that spiritual fallow ground would be broken up. Let righteousness rain upon this city and this region.

​

Lord, let Your light shine throughout the Retreat and bring forth healing, restoration, reconciliation, revival, and transformation. Raise up women who will boldly represent Your Kingdom and bring hope to their communities.

​

 Thank you for partnering with us in prayer as we prepare for all that God desires for us to do!
