Prayer & Announcements
Week of May 24, 2026
The Blood of the Lamb
“And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb.” (Rev. 12:11a)
“The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin.” (1 John 1:7b)
We admit that we have sin. We do not say that we are without sin. But regardless of this, we do not accept the accusations of Satan. Before God we are clean because we have the precious blood. We should not believe in the accusations more than we believe in the precious blood. We must learn to trust in the blood of the Lamb.
The brothers overcame [Satan] not because of their merit, their advancement, or their experience. They overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb. Whenever accusations come from Satan, we need to deal with them by the blood. Once we accept the blood, Satan’s power will be nullified. All that we are depends on the blood, and we need the blood every day. Just as we depended upon the blood and trusted in the blood on the day we were saved, we must continue to depend upon the blood and trust in the blood from that day forward. The blood is our only foundation.
The overcomers must know the value of the blood. Although we do not know the immense value of the blood, we can still say to the Lord, “O Lord, apply the blood on my behalf according to Your evaluation of it.” We should deal with the power of Satan according to God’s valuation of the blood, not according to our valuation of the blood. (CWWN, vol. 34, “The Glorious Church,” pp. 86-87, 90)
The Great Need for a New Revival
“…O Jehovah, revive Your work in the midst of the years…” (Hab. 3:2)
Among God’s elect there has always been an aspiration to be revived. We can enter into a new revival that will end this age by arriving at the highest peak of the divine revelation, by living the life of a God-man, and by participating in Christ’s heavenly ministry of shepherding His flock according to God.
The mystery hidden in God’s heart is God’s eternal economy, which is God’s eternal intention with His heart’s desire to dispense Himself in His Divine Trinity as the Father in the Son by the Spirit into His chosen people to be their life and nature that they may be the same as He is as His duplication to become an organism, the Body of Christ as the new man, for God’s fullness, God’s expression, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem.
If we practice living the life of a God-man, which is the reality of the Body of Christ, spontaneously a corporate model will be built up, a model living in the economy of God. This model will be the greatest revival in the history of the church to bring the Lord back. God needs a corporate people to be raised up by His grace through the high peak of the divine revelation to live a life according to this revelation. A revival is the practice, the practicality, of the vision we have seen. The only way to live the life of a God-man according to the Lord’s model is to set our entire being on the mingled spirit, walking, living, and having our being according to the mingled spirit.
We can enter into a new revival by participating in Christ’s heavenly ministry to feed His lambs and shepherd His sheep in order to take care of God’s flock, which is the church that issues in the Body of Christ. This is to incorporate the apostolic ministry with Christ’s heavenly ministry. (2026 International Memorial Day Blending Conference, msg. 1, I, Key Statement 1, II.A, III, A, E, IV)
Let us pray for the Lord to gain the full cooperation of all the saints to meet the great need for a new revival that will hasten His coming back to end this present age. Lord, revive us, those around us, our local church, the recovery! Lord, make everything shared in this conference a vision to us! Shepherd us to arrive at the high peak of the divine revelation! May this vision affect our living so that there would be a corporate model on the earth that would affect the whole earth and bring You back!
2026 FIFA World Cup Gospel Distributions
Starting in June, the Los Angeles area will host eight matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Visitors and fans from around the world, as well as Angelenos, will gather to watch the matches. We believe this is the sovereign arrangement of the Lord for us to go forth and preach the gospel to the nations (Matt. 28:19).
Our outreach will be focused primarily around World Cup fan festivals and watch parties, as these gatherings present the greatest opportunity for contacting those who are open to receive the gospel. There will be no scheduled gospel outreach during the week of the Semiannual Training.

California
“There is no authority except from God, and those which exist are ordained by God.” (Rom. 13:1)
California is the most populated state in the United States. The primary election for many government offices is June 2; voting by mail is already open. The general election is November 3. Petition the Lord for His application of Romans 13 in this election.
(Whether and how individual saints vote depends on their personal leading from the Lord.)
European Young People’s Work
In coordination with the brothers in Europe, we want to provide a way to send offerings to support the upcoming European Young People’s Conference in Poland this year, which will take place in the last week of July. The current need is approximately $40,000 to support the saints participating from different countries who are not able to afford the conference. May this need be met in the Body.
As the Lord leads, saints who are burdened to participate financially may do so through The Church in Los Angeles designated for “European Young People’s Work.”
Italy – Translation Work
Earlier this month, work began on the translation project of the NT Recovery Version into Italian, which is the last major European language without this invaluable resource.
Please pray for the Lord’s covering of the serving ones and His blessing on every aspect of this project. May the Lord’s interests in Italy continue to advance this coming year as the saints all over the earth participate through intercessory prayer.
