This is a second edition of this widely read and highly acclaimed book written by the respected father of the worldwide Prayer Movement - Brian Mills.
Have you ever wondered just why the darkness in the world today seems to be getting darker, and what can be done about it?
This book sheds fresh light on this topic, and on the spiritual nature of this darkness. It shines the light of Scripture on the evil one and on the way in which so many have become bewitched. This is a clarion call to the church and individual Christians to get ready to do battle with the powers of darkness, and to shine Christ's light more powerfully.
Brian Mills writes out of many years of experience in international prayer ministry. He is a senior advisor in the International Prayer Council and is one of the leaders in the International Reconciliation movement. He has ministered in over 75 nations and authored nine books to date. He is also part of a global group that is seeking to understand more about the dark spiritual powers at work in the world.

This upcoming Christmas, over 720,000 people in Anglophone West Africa will experience a Bibleless Christmas with no Scripture in their heart language. Will you join us in interceding for them?
May we pray that these communities will soon receive the greatest gift of all — His Word in their language — so they may know the hope of Christ through Scripture.
Anglophone West Africa
“Anglophone” refers to countries where English is used as a trade language.
We’re praying right now for the Anglophone West African nations of Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia, where God has provided incredible unity and local leadership among ministries with diverse strengths.
Bible translation has accelerated rapidly in Nigeria the last few years, decreasing the number of languages waiting to be engaged from 200+ to just over 20 today.
Challenges include social and economic instability, persecution, corruption, lack of training, and false teaching. Many projects are brand new and need fervent prayer to bring their good work to completion.
Pray for the Bibleless in This Region:
People: 721,330
Languages: 39

ALVARO’S PRAYERS FOR DAMASCUS...
May I share with you the awesome story of Alvaro - a 7 year old lad from Indonesia who was praying with us during our 30 days of prayer for the Muslim world this last Spring. He is part of our 2BC (2 Billion Children) children in prayer team. He also participates in our 24/7 online prayer room continuing now since 2021.
Alvaro was praying for breakthrough of the Gospel in the city of Damascus and the Lord answered his prayers in some astounding ways. Alvaro was joining his prayers together with 110 million people that we helped to mobilize to pray with us on the Muslim night of power during Ramadan.
Here at IPC, we partner with a ministry called RUN, (Reaching Unreached Nations), and at the same time Alvaro was praying, 200,000 teenagers aged 12-19 were trained and sent to share the good news of Jesus in cities throughout the Muslim world. This work of evangelism combined with global prayer through the IPC prayer networks resulted in 625,000 new Jesus followers - some in the city of Damascus!

Starting 10th May 2024: 10 Days of United Prayers for Revival with a special focus on 10 Jewish World Cities
Firstly, we have partnered with our friends at 10 days to mobilise worldwide prayers for revival in the lead-up to Pentecost Sunday!
During this significant season when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, will you join millions of Christians around the world in prayer for revival in our lives, revival across 10 unreached Middle Eastern cities and revival and peace in Jerusalem?
During these 10 days, we will pray for revival to break forth in 10 unreached cities across the Middle-East based on the prophecy in Isaiah 19. Each day we will provide a prayer pointer for each of these 10 cities on this Isaiah 19 highway from Cairo back to Jerusalem!
There's also an invite to be praying for 5 friends, family or work-colleagues of ours who don't know Jesus! See the Pray for 5 card.
It all kicks off on Friday 10th May and runs through to Pentecost Sunday - 19th May.
See the Prayer Guide in 30+ languages! A Children's Prayer Guide is also available. (Thanks to 2BC)

I wanted to bring you two timely items of news, some words of encouragement and a free gift as we all plan to celebrate Christmas and to enjoy time with our families!
Please find details below of the Sunrise Prayer Relay, taking place on New Year's Day. Many of us will be getting up at the crack of dawn to proclaim the Supremacy of Christ over our nations together. Do join us!
We invite you to join with many millions around the world for a Global Day of Prayer on Saturday 10th February, 2024 (Chinese New Year) as we pray for key cities and nations across the Buddhist world. By way of preparation, we encourage you to use the accompanying 21 Day adult and children’s prayer guides.
Mountain Moving Prayer...
As we approach 2024, I believe God wants us to grow in faith. As we soak in God's written word and speak it out in faith through prayers, we will see mountains moved!
Do watch this talk that I recorded a few weeks ago, in which I share how Mary became the mother of Jesus - God Incarnate - as she responded to God's word in faith 'behold I am the servant of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word according to your word.' (Luke 1:38) We can learn a lot from Mary’s example.
My prayer for you this Christmas and New Year is that you, like Mary, will experience how an ordinary life can lead to an extraordinary walk of faith and transformation, through the simple yet incredibly effective key of faith-filled, Bible-based prayers and the exaltation and worship of Jesus!
A Gift for You!
Here is a free gift this Christmas called Pray the Word, in which I share some simple tools to help you pray effectively! Use it as a resource in your personal or group devotions to connect with God in a personal way. My prayer is that it will help you Encounter God - bringing life-changing, mountain-moving impacts!
Your Gifts…
Thank you for your prayers, participation, encouragements and support through 2023! If you are sensing that you can contribute with a donation as we approach the end of the year, see here.
On behalf of the whole IPC team across our 14 world regions, I wish you a peaceful and blessed Christmas.
All Glory to the Lamb!

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. (Psalm 113:3)
Over the past few years on New Year's Day, thousands of Christians across 70 nations participated in the Sunrise Prayer Relay and we are excited that there is an invitation to awaken the dawn with prayer together again in 2024!
We are encouraged to gather just before Sunrise at a public location like a hill, lookout, bridge, or public landmark, at a church in our cities or towns, (or we can also take part privately in our homes) - to worship, pray and exalt Jesus!
Let's declare together that "Jesus is Lord" of our lives, our families, our regions, our nations, and all of the nations!
Together, these prayer gatherings at sunrise around the world will generate a synchronized 24-hour global prayer relay!
Let's not miss the opportunity to share the message of Hope in Jesus with others who are out to see the sunrise!

Years ago, I was taught how to pray the Word of God - and it has revolutionized my prayer life. It is the ultimate prayer manual written by God Himself. Scripture is the language of God’s heart! The Bible always makes His will clear to us through the written Word. Anything the Holy Spirit makes known to us will always agree with God’s revealed Word.
As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 writes, God has always been looking for those to whom he can speak, those who will hear and live. The Word of God isn’t casual, and it isn’t an option; our very lives depend on it! As Jesus declared in the wilderness, “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of his mouth” (Matthew 4:4). One of the ways that we learn to listen and talk to God is through Praying His Word!
It is about the rediscovery of hearing, delighting in, trembling before, and obeying the Word of God. The Word is meant to abide in us and transform us from the inside out! God’s Word feeds us (Matt. 4:4), washes us (Eph. 5:26-27), sanctifies us (John 17:17), disciplines us (Heb.4:12-13), imparts faith to us (Rom. 10:17), and equips us (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
May we get into the Word until the Word gets into us, both the written Word and the Living Word, the Lord Jesus!
This booklet, put simply, is a tool to help you spend time with God in his Word! I encourage you to pray the Scriptures out loud, turning truth into personal dialogue with the Lord. My hope is that you will experience more and more of his life, his love, and his mountain-moving power!
For the Supremacy of Christ in all things,
Dr. Jason Hubbard – Director

12:11 Prayer - During WPA,//www.youtube.com/@SuccatHallelHouseOfPrayer/streams"> Rick Ridings who leads a 24/7 House of Prayer and Praise, encouraged us to be in prayer for Israel and the Middle East. As WPA closed, we heard of the invasion and atrocities that sparked war between Israel and Hamas. We mobilised concerted 12:11 Prayer for 21 days, with many people pausing to pray in unity for Israel at 12 Noon, for 11 Minutes each day. We have decided to keep going with this 12:11 Prayer until peace returns. Let's continue to pray for the harvest that many Jews, Arabs, and Internationals will come to Christ, pray for protection over the believers and house churches in Gaza, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem that God will restrain and contain this war... do join us as the Lord leads you!
2BC – 2 Billion Children – is a campaign conceived by IPC’s Senior Advisor and Exec Member, Tom Victor, with a vision to see the 2 billion children across our world empowered to share the message of God’s love with their friends and families.
