30 DAYS OF PRAYER
FOR PASTORS THOMAS AND CAROLYN PEETZ
Introduction
This year being the 30-year anniversary of Word of Life Christian Fellowship, we must understand it is our responsibility and utmost privilege to pray for our Pastors
As we begin our 30-day prayer challenge to pray for our Pastors, it’s important to remember that Pastors Thomas and Carolyn have been placed here by God. You’ve heard Pastor Thomas say time and time again, he’s on assignment here in New Hampshire. Pastors know they are in the right place at the right time doing the right thing, and they aren’t planning on going anywhere anytime soon.
There is a lot of work to do here and Pastors need our prayers, our support, and our cooperation with them and with each other; all of us working together. So, we commit to stand in one accord, to lift and strengthen them, believing with Pastors to walk in the fullness of God’s plan, each of us has a part, doing what is right, and following Pastor’s lead. May we, as the Church be grateful, and appreciate all their hard work and may we support them in all their efforts!
Most of these promises are for everyone. We can confess and believe for these things to be active and alive in our life as well as in Pastors’ lives.
Ephesians 5:20 (TPT)
“Always give thanks to Father God for every person He brings into your life in the name of our Lord Jesus.”
Father God brought Pastors into your life and you into Pastors’ lives! Aren’t you glad!!!!
A WORD OF WISDOM BEFORE WE BEGIN:
It is of utmost importance that as we commit to pray for pastors, that we keep our hearts right and that we don’t let the enemy in. The following are scriptures we should pray over ourselves:
Psalm 141:3 – 4 (AMP)
“Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips. Incline my heart not to submit or consent to any evil thing or to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.”
Psalm 141:9 – 10 (AMP)
“Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me, and the snares of evildoers. Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass over them and escape.”
Psalm 139:23 – 24 (AMP)
“Search me [thoroughly] O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
Philippians 4:8 – 9 (TPT)
“So keep my thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten my thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always. Following the example of all that You have imparted to us and the God of peace will be with me in all things.”
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:
1. First and foremost, SPEND TIME PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT!!! This is vital for you as you enter into this special time of prayer for our Pastors. The Holy Spirit is our Helper so you must hook up with Him.
2. You should consider taking communion on Day 1, and can take it every day if you wish.

CONFESSION FOR OUR PASTORS
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I pray and confess that the Spirit of the Lord – the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge shall rest upon Pastor Thomas and Pastor Carolyn.
I pray that as Your Spirit rests upon them, You will make them of quick understanding because You, Lord, have anointed and qualified them to preach the gospel to the meek, the poor, the wealthy, the afflicted and addicted and all who will hear. You have sent them to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the physical and spiritual captives and the opening of the prison doors and of the eyes to those who are bound.
I thank You for doors of utterance opening up to Pastors that they may boldly and clearly declare the way of the Lord. Utterance to help the body of Christ to rise to their highest level of faith, and walk in the fullness of God’s grace. Lord, I pray that signs, wonders and demonstrations accompany the preaching of the Word.
I pray and believe that no weapon that is formed against them will prosper and that every tongue that rises against them in judgement shall be shown to be in the wrong. Lord, I pray that You prosper Pastors abundantly, physically, spiritually and financially.
I confess that Pastors hold fast and follow the pattern of wholesome and sound teaching in all faith and love, which is for us in Christ Jesus.

We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and Who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this; because His heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be His, He endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!”

PROPHECIES SPOKEN BY KENNETH COPELAND OVER PASTOR THOMAS PEETZ:
#1 GIVEN ON JANUARY 17, 2003
“Glory to God. Tom Peetz, praise God. The Holy Ghost….come here.
Just as my eyes skirted across you I saw in the Spirit an explosion of anointing. An explosion of the Holy Ghost to go into ancient places, where God’s tracks have not been in a long, long time. All over New England, all over the northeastern part of this United States, with, with such a flow of miracles. There are going to be people crying for God that haven’t cried out for God for 300 years.
I saw it man, I saw it like a gusher, just blowing out all of a sudden and it came out of you, it came out of you.
Hallelujah to God, blessed be God, blessed by God, hallelujah to God. Rivers of living water.”
#2 GIVEN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2004
“There is coming a move in the area where you guys pastor, Brother Peetz. And that area is like a garden, and all this time you, the Holy Ghost, and your church congregation have been working that soil, and it was dry, oh, such dry, hard soil to work.
But you have been obedient, you’ve followed what the Spirit of God has said, and the soil is ready.
There is coming a flowering up out of your church, and the seeds will hit that soil, and there is coming a move of God in that whole area around you, larger than you thought.
And it is going to be an unprecedented move of God in that area, it has never seen anything like it before, and it’s going to be exactly the way God told you it would be.
And the time is now.”
PROPHECY FOR 2019 - KENNETH COPELAND
What about this 2019? How can the marvels and the wondrous works take place? What brings these wonderful works and miracles? What causes these things to be manifest?
A Higher Order of Prayer
First of all, there must be a higher order of prayer coming forth out of the family. Intercession, petition and supplication for the lost, much prayer, much calling forth, much calling things that be not as though they were—praying for the lost. Reaching into the heart of God and asking Him for the nation. 2019 must be a year of great intercession and witnessing outside the walls of the church building.
Take Me to the Sinner
I’ll do signs and wonders. I’ll do these marvelous works, saith The LORD, if you’ll take Me to the sinner, if you will take Me to the streets. Give Me an opportunity to reveal Myself. You keep ringing the dinner bell of healing and I’ll draw the people. This building and other church buildings won’t hold the people, but you can’t just sit here inside this place and beg for miracles. I’m going to require you, saith The LORD, to walk by faith.
Walk by Faith
I’m going to require you to get healed on your own faith. Most of the people in My ministry, saith The LORD, most of them got healed on their own faith: “Be it done unto you as you have believed. Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole.”
Help With the Babies
I’m requiring more of those of you older children in the family. I’m requiring more of you because you’re older. It’s time for you to help with the babies. It’s time for you to see to it that the babies get an opportunity to know Me, saith The LORD.
Miracles Under Your Own Hand
I will require it, but you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams because you will see miracles under your own hand. You’ll see things happen that you’ve only dreamed about happening because the time has come. And just the way the great Healing Revival hit this earth in 1948, ‘49, ‘50 and it was so easy because the miracles were happening in the streets, and they were happening in tents and they were happening all over this United States—well, those days are here again. It’s time for it. It’s time. If you get out there where the people are, you will be shocked at how easy the miracles will come and how easy they will flow. And people that have no idea about Me or anything about My Word will come running to those of you that will spend time in intercessory prayer. I’m not talking about hours and hours. I’m talking about minutes a day. I’m talking about just give Me time. Just give Me part of your morning. Just give Me part of your evening and pray in the spirit and intercede for the lost. And I’ll see to it, saith The LORD, that 2019 is the most startling year of your life.
Your Body and Youth Renewed
I’ll see to it that your body begins to renew and your youth begins to renew, and all of a sudden, pains and aches that have been there for years will disappear. Glory to God. When you get out and begin to minister to those that have never heard about Me, saith Jesus. You call on Me and I’ll call on you, and together we’ll see it come to pass. Together, we’ll see it happen. Together. Together.
Change in the United States
You will begin to see the desired change begin to slowly take place in the United States, in the political arena. You’ll begin to see change when you begin to pray and intercede for those that are on the opposite side of your political ideas. If you will begin to take some quality time and intercede for people, intercede for them. Take someone, take the image of that someone. Maybe it’s Senator Chuck Schumer. Maybe it’s Nancy Pelosi. Take that person. Take that person and begin to intercede for them. I saw something in Nancy Pelosi at the going home of President Bush. I was watching her. She stopped by that casket. Her husband began to walk away. She began to walk away, and she came back and then I saw it. She made the sign of the cross. Now, I know how to pray. Now, I know how to pray. Something drew her back. You know who she is? She’s somebody that needs Jesus. You know who Chuck Schumer is? Somebody that needs Jesus. You know who Donald Trump is? Somebody that needs Jesus. Amen.
Call Their Name
And it’s when we begin to intercede and call somebody’s name: “Satan, you desist in your maneuvers against this person’s life. I pray the Lord of the Harvest send laborers across her path, across his path, across their paths, with the Word of their salvation, with the Word of their healing.” And just begin to praise about it and praise about it and praise about it and have a deaf ear to any kind of criticism. Call them before Me, saith The LORD, and you will be shocked at what you see come to pass.
Days of Reconstruction
These are the days of reconstruction. These are the days in the continuing rebirth of the United States. These are the days that this nation has been crying out for—when once again it will become one nation under God. And you’re not as far away as you think you are. So, rejoice and be glad for in that day you will have much cause for rejoicing, because soon and very soon, the greatness and the good things that I have planned in THE BLESSING of The LORD shall begin to be manifest more and more and more and more, saith the Spirit of Grace. I am for you, saith The LORD. I am not against you. I’ve given Myself to you and for you.
