Pray
for
the
falling
of
the
latter
rain
of
the

ushering
in
the
final
loud
cry
pointing
to

not

proclaim
the
three
angels
messages
of

Pray
for
an
understanding

entrusted
by

with
a
prophetic
mission.
Pray

prophetic
message
is
to
ring
forth
to
the
world
without
hesitation.
Pray

a
spirit
of
genuine
humility
and
quiet,

who
may
differ
with

Pray
for
a
spirit
of
unity
in
Christ
that
will
transcend
any
differences
of
opinion
and
that
will
nurture
all
attendees
to
humbly
accept
any
outcomes
that
may
not
be
in
accordance
with
personal
convictions.
Pray
for
expanded
emphasis
on
Revival
and
Reformation
throughout
the
world
for
members,
conferences,
unions,
institutions,
divisions,
the
