Learn how groups can participate in our annual prayer event.
Find help for addiction through prayer and Christian ministries.
OUR MISSION AND DESIRE:
The weekend of April 14 – 15, 2012 has been designated as the 22nd Annual “Just Pray NO!” to drugs Worldwide Weekend of Prayer and Fasting. Since April 7th, 1991 “Just Pray NO!” Ltd. has sought to unite Christians from around the world in intercessory prayer on behalf of the addicted and their families. Not only is substance abuse America’s number one health problem, the devastation of alcoholism and other drug addiction has impacted families and communities worldwide. Substance abuse has been directly linked to violence and sexual immorality and is a major source of income for organized crime and terrorist activities. The “War on Drugs” directly impacts the “War on Crime” and the “War on Terrorism!”
Make a formal commitment to join with believers in Christ from around the globe next April. Put on the full armor of God and fervently pray in spirit and in truth. We are again seeking to enlist one million prayer warriors from around the world to join us in battle!
We are not only praying for the release of those bound by substance abuse but also for people to be delivered from pornography, gambling and obesity.
Empowered and directed by God the Spirit, the body of Christ should pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ for the following specific prayer points:
1. Pray that the Holy Spirit brings conviction of guilt as to sin, righteousness and judgment to those bound by addiction. (John 16:8-11)
2. On behalf of the addicted, break every stronghold, demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. Pray that their every thought be taken captive in obedience to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
3. Pray that our fast will be pleasing to God and will set the oppressed free and break every yoke of addiction. (Isaiah 58:6)
4. Pray that the addicted will seek after God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength (Deuteronomy 4:29) and will place their trust in Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord.
5. Pray that those who are enslaved to carnal desires will be set free and instead hunger and thirst for the Word of God and the righteousness of Christ.
(Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 6:33)

Bless you Brad for your ministry to the youth at your church and for your commitment to pray and fast during our weekend of prayer this coming April. If one can put a thousand to flight – two can put ten thousand to flight! There is great spiritual power in agreement and unity. Please let others know about our ministry. THANK YOU!

I’m stepping out in faith here me and my 10 year old daughter will be in prayer with you. Our lives have been greatly affected from the life of an addict. I thank God and Jesus for my own deliverance from alcohol and drugs. As we stand in the gap I ask that everyone lift up my children’s father who is bound by Meth and alcohol who is living a life transgressing against the WORD of God. I’m standing on the Word of God that the Lord has driven him out but he will return back to the Lord with his whole heart. That the Lords will be done. And I thank the LORD for taking care of us. He is truly the father to the fatherless. Thanks be unto to you Jesus! And thank you for doing this it’s truly needed in my hometown of Pyramid Lake, Nevada (Paiute Indian Reservation)
Thank you for your testimony and bless you for your commitment to pray for the addicted. May the Lord hear the cry of your heart and deliver your children’s father from his addictions to meth and alcohol. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. AMEN
My name is Faith, my husband is currently in an acute care hosp. due to nursing home abuse. He’s currently fighting to keep his left leg he broke in Dec. with a rod in the bone. We have a 36yr old daughter Tracy Michelle addicted to prescription drugs. She’s lost her two beautiful daughters to their alcoholic father. The 14yr old is cutting and struggling emotionally, the 9yr old has inflamed limph nodes around her colon, both are honor students in school. We are praying and believing for many miracles in our family, as well as others. Our daughter rededicated her life to God and prayed for deliverance and healing this last Sunday. PTL I just don’t know what to do except PRAY and quote God’s Word over us all for what He promises!!!!
