21 Days of Prayer for a Disciple-Making District - NWIL
Prayer Challenge – March 1 – 22, 2026
WEEK THREE: THE CALL TO JOIN THE MISSION OF JESUS

Day 18 — EMPOWERED WITNESS

Scripture: Acts 1:8 — “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you...”

Today’s Devotional: Jesus did not send His disciples into mission empty-handed. He did not send them with only passion or strategy; He sent them with power. This power is not human strength, talent, or charisma. It is the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit enabling ordinary people to do extraordinary things for the Kingdom. Without the Spirit, we can do nothing. With the Spirit, we can do anything God calls us to do. Today, ask the Spirit to fill you again—fresh wind, fresh fire, fresh power for the mission ahead.

Response & Prayer Guide:

  • For Your Heart: Admit your own inadequacy. Pray: "Holy Spirit, I can't do this on my own. Fill me with Your power today."
  • For Our District: Pray for "Signs and Wonders"—that the Spirit would confirm the Word with visible transformation in our communities.

Church Prayer List:

  • Rockford First African – Pastor Silvestre Kaite
  • Rock Island – Pastor Scott Casto

The Challenge & Next Steps:

  1. Wait: Spend 5 minutes in "Active Waiting." Pray, “Holy Spirit, fill me today,” then wait in silence for two minutes.
  2. Intercede: Pray for Pastor Silvestre and Pastor Scott to lead with Spirit-empowered boldness.
  3. Worship: Listen to "Fresh Wind" by Hillsong Worship.
  4. Pray Boldly for a spirit of radical generosity to sweep through our Churches and our District, providing every resource needed for the harvest,

 

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, we acknowledge that our own strength is insufficient for the mission You have given us; we need Your supernatural power. Fill us afresh with Your fire, granting us the boldness to witness and the compassion to love as You love. We pray for signs, wonders, and visible transformations in our communities that confirm the truth of the Word we proclaim.
