I Samuel 16:7 (NIV) – But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Day 15 | Reconciliation
Today as we pray, we acknowledge that God has called us all to be ministers of reconciliation. We admit that God has reconciled us to Himself. We humbly affirm that we are ALL made “new” through Christ. We passionately ask the Holy Spirit to help us be reconcilers as people and a reconciling community as the Vineyard Movement.
2 Corinthians 5:16-19 (NIV) – So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Día 15 | Reconciliación
Hoy, mientras oramos, reconocemos que Dios nos ha llamado a todos a ser ministros de reconciliación. Admitimos que Dios nos ha reconciliado consigo mismo. Afirmamos humildemente que TODOS somos “nuevos” a través de Cristo. Le pedimos apasionadamente al Espíritu Santo que nos ayude a ser reconciliadores como personas y como Movimiento de la Viña una comunidad reconciliadora.
2 Corintios 5: 16-19 (NVI) – Así que de ahora en adelante no consideramos a nadie según criterios meramente humanos. Aunque antes conocimos a Cristo de esta manera, ya no lo conocemos así. Por lo tanto, si alguno está en Cristo, es una nueva creación. ¡Lo viejo ha pasado, ha llegado ya lo nuevo! Todo esto proviene de Dios, quien por medio de Cristo nos reconcilió consigo mismo y nos dio el ministerio de la reconciliación: esto es, que, en Cristo, Dios estaba reconciliando al mundo consigo mismo, no tomándole en cuenta sus pecados y encargándonos a nosotros el mensaje de la reconciliación.
DAY 16 | Justice
Today as we pray, we pour out our hearts to God for the people of the world who are powerless, poor, and marginalized. We ask Him for justice for all and that He would compel us, as people and a Movement, toward a lifestyle of compassion to make a difference in a hurting world.

Isaías 1:17 (NVI) – ¡Aprendan a hacer el bien! ¡Busquen la justicia y reprendan al opresor! ¡Aboguen por el huérfano y defiendan a la viuda!
DAY 17 | Our Country
Today as we pray, we acknowledge that our country is wounded, divided, and struggling. We ask the Spirit of God to lead us to repentance for national pride and judgement. We ask Him to lead us to love our neighbor, pray for those we don’t agree with, and heal our land according to His will for our nation.
Isaiah 56:7 (NIV) – These I will bring to my holy mountain and give the joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.
DÍA 17 | Nuestro País
Hoy, mientras oramos, reconocemos que nuestro país está fracturado, dividido y riñendo. Le pedimos al Espíritu de Dios que nos lleve a arrepentirnos por nuestro orgullo nacional y por juzgar a otros. Le pedimos que nos lleve a amar a nuestro prójimo, a orar por aquellos con quienes no estamos de acuerdo y sanar nuestra tierra de acuerdo con Su voluntad para nuestra nación.
Isaías 56: 7 (NVI) – Los llevaré a mi monte santo; ¡Los llenaré de alegría en mi casa de oración!
Aceptaré los holocaustos y sacrificios que ofrezcan sobre mi altar porque mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todos los pueblos.
DAY 18 | The Church
Today as we pray, we bring before God the big “C” church. We acknowledge that God’s Church comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors. We passionately ask the Lord to bless and unify His church, as only He can, that she may represent His Kingdom and change the world.
Acts 9:31 (NIV) – Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.
DÍA 18 | La Iglesia

DAY 20 | Leadership
Today as we pray, we ask the Lord to raise up leaders in the Vineyard with the diverse gifts that our Movement needs in order to be fully equipped moving into the future.
Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV) – So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
DÍA 20 | Liderazgo
Hoy, mientras oramos, le pedimos al Señor que levante líderes en La Viña con los diversos dones que nuestro Movimiento necesita para estar completamente equipado para avanzar hacia el futuro.

De este modo, todos llegaremos a la unidad de la fe y del conocimiento del Hijo de Dios, a una humanidad perfecta que se conforme a la plena estatura de Cristo.
DAY 21 | The Vineyard
Today as we pray, we acknowledge that the Vineyard Movement belongs to the Lord. We humbly ask Him to continue to water us, guard us, that we might be a fruitful Vineyard that makes impact in the world for His glory.

An Invitation To 21 Days Of Prayer & Fasting (Spanish)
We would like to invite you to pray and fast as you can from February 8-28, leading up to an Executive Team Meeting in March, where we will meet to discern the next National Director of Vineyard USA.
Phil has sensed this time of prayer and fasting, as we discern the next National Director, will have powerful impact on our Vineyard family of churches now and in the future, as God works in and through us far beyond 2021.
What Is The Invitation?
21 Days of Prayer & Fasting is an invitation to each person in the Vineyard Movement, and to friends of the Vineyard, to pray and fast for God make clear to the Executive Team as they discern the individual who should be the next National Director of Vineyard USA.

Remember to “pray as you can, not as you can’t” (as Richard Foster quoted John Chapman), and to “fast as you can, not as you can’t.” However you pray and fast, it is contributing to all that God is doing.
What Are The Dates?
