if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if
we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have
the petitions that we have asked of Him.” (1 John 5:14,15)
“… I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men….For
it is good … in the sight of God… who desires all men to be
saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Tim.
2:1-4)
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves.” (James 1:22)

NOTES:
If every day many Christians in Romania and abroad will fast,
God will hear our cry for revival! For this reason, we encourage
all Christians in Romania or abroad to fast together in the first
Sunday of every month, and at other times as the Lord leads.
Although the prayer objectives are written only for 31 days,
the suggested duration for the calendar’s use is at least one
year.
Keep praying each month according to this Calendar, and trust
that God will revive and awaken Romania! Pray that God will pour
out by His Spirit a spirit of prayer for the following month upon
all Christians in the country, knowing that together with you
many Christians both in Romania and abroad are praying according
to this Calendar.
In the month of February, on the 26th use point 27 as well,
on the 27th use points 28 and 29 and on the 28th use points 30
and 31. For the months with 30 days, unite points 30 and 31 on
the 30th of the month.
You may copy and distribute this Calendar as much as you would
like and you see the need.
We recommend that you read the books of Derek Prince on praying
and fasting for revival.
It would be encouraging if the leaders of the churches who plan
to use this calendar will inform us.
Also, we encourage all who receive noteworthy answers to prayer
in relation to the points on this Calendar to communicate these
with us in a concise form, so that the saints can be encouraged.
