Call to Prayer from Kurt Plagenhoef
Dear
Prayer Partners,
“The
prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:16
We
are calling you to a time of prayer and intercession for us and the work here
in Albania, Macedonia and Kosovo. Last night, we came under spiritual attack through demonic
dreams. We got up in the middle of the night and began to intercede. Through
that time of intercession, we discerned the origin of these attacks, which we
will share below. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual.
Let’s take up the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and the shield of
faith, as we stand against the devil’s schemes. We ask you to pray
specifically for these needs:
1. For
divine protection, unity, spiritual anointing and discernment, authority over
principalities and powers, and ministry breakthroughs for miss*y personnel in:
- Albania—Kurt and Stephanie and Scott and Suzi and our
children
- Kosovo—Steve and Lisa and Sebi and Georgiana and their
children
- Macedonia—Rina, Dardajan, Betuel and Bianca, Elijah,
Nik and Deborah
2. For
Lisa in Kosovo who is under spiritual attack through chronic pneumonia. She
needs total deliverance and healing. Believe with us for this to be immediately
manifest in her body.
3.
Jesus said, "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail
against it.” Pray that the kingdom of darkness will be uprooted before
the mighty working of the Spirit in Mitrovica, Kosovo and Skopje, Macedonia and
that our miss*y personnel will have victory. Pray that churches
will be planted this year in both cities to the glory of God. There is
powerful spiritual resistance in these places as the kingdom of God is
advancing. We must stand in faith and declare that the victory is ours and that
Satan’s dominion is defeated.
4. Pray
specifically for unity in the multi-national teams in Skopje and Mitrovica. The
word balkanize, derived from Balkans, means “to divide a region or body into
smaller mutually hostile states or groups.” There is a spiritual principality
of division in this region. In the past, it has succeeded in dividing nations,
ethnic groups, churches, national pastors, marriages, and ministry teams.
HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT BE DIVIDED. Declare with us that this principality has no
power against the work of God or those who are laboring in his harvest field.
Bind the strong man. The enemy is defeated through the work of Christ
accomplished on the cross.
5.
The work in Mitrovica has been dormant for two years, but we have the promise
of God that he will resurrect it. We discerned in the Spirit that the source of
this specific attack is from demonic powers in Mitrovica.
- Pray that God will breathe new life into the dry bones
of Mitrovica.
- Pray that a powerful, unified ministry team will be
assembled there.
- Pray for divine favor and open doors.
- Pray for salvation, miracles, healing, dreams and
visions to be manifest among the people of Mitrovica, and that many will
come to Christ.
6.
Stand with us on the promises of God's Word.
- “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your
feet.” Rom. 16:20 — Pray that we will soon see the defeat of
Satan in Mitrovica and Skopje.
- “…we are not unaware of his [Satan’s] schemes.” 2 Cor.
2:11 — Pray that we will all have spiritual discernment, strength
to stand against the enemy, and trust in Christ’s power to defeat him.
- “…the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome
the evil one.” 1 Jn. 2:14 — Pray for us to stand in faith upon the
Word, be strengthened and encouraged through the Word, and that the Lord
will uphold us as we wrestle in the spiritual realm to overcome the evil
one.
- “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the
devil’s work.” 1 Jn. 3:8 — Declare with us that the devil’s work
is defeated through Christ in Albania, Mitrovica, and Skopje.
7. Pray
for the upcoming student outreaches from Evangelical Theological College—for
protection as we travel, open doors, divine favor, effective evangelism, unity,
peace, and authority in the spiritual realm. Pray for the leaders as well.
- Team to Kosovo and Montenegro led by Gezim, April 14-18
- Team to Turkey led by Kurt, April 15-21
- Team to Macedonia led by Ervin and Scott, April 21-25.
This team needs free lodging. Pray for this provision.
Thank
you, intercessors, for upholding us in prayer. The Lord is faithful to his
Word. Please share anything with us that you receive in prayer. We are grateful
for your partnership.
Your
co-laborers in the harvest,
Kurt
and Stephanie Plagenhoef
