Twenty One Days Fasting Prayer

    We the INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF GOD stand in the gap by fasting and praying. All these years, it was mainly for the specific needs and spiritual revival of the community.
    This year, God has enlightened me to pray for the nation, USA. As many in our neighborhood is going through difficult situations of loosing their job, their homes and a great struggle of themselves surviving and the nation is literally falling apart morally, we have set apart the days from March 30 through April 19 to cry and intercede for the nations, community and over all for the church of God.
     I personally invite each one of you to be available yourself and join with us in this consecrated days for the Lord.
     If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. -2 Chronicles 7 :14, 15

21 Day Fasting Prayer ( March .24. 2008 - April.13.2008)

     Our 21 days fasting end on April 13th was an unique and historic. We experienced the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Even the children of 6 years were filled in Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Many are gifted with prophesy, healing and other gifts. Our young men and women are hungry for the Lord and they are dancing in the Power of the Holy Spirit. People are confessing and returning back to the saving knowledge of Christ. All most every person upto the age of 6 years are all filled in Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. The first century outpouring of the Holy Spirit is here in International Assembly of God in 2008. By faith, we would like to name it as the 'Phoenix revival'.
"Come and experience the true PENTECOST."
