Praying for the Harvest: Precision Planning for Easter – The Five Gifts Podcast
In Season 3, Episode 8 of The Five Gifts Podcast, Bruce Ritter and Charles Russell launch a five-episode series on planning Easter through strategic evangelistic mobilization and Spirit-led systems.
Six weeks before Easter, the focus is not invitations — it is identification and intercession.
This episode walks pastors and leaders through:
• Mobilizing an evangelistically wired core
• Training believers to identify four spiritually disconnected people within their relational network
• Beginning disciplined weekly fasting for spiritual breakthrough
• Praying six Kingdom realities over specific individuals
• Understanding why salvation is a process of Holy Spirit drawing, not merely an event
Through the lens of the CLMM framework, this episode integrates apostolic strategy, prophetic intercession, and evangelistic precision to create measurable, scalable Kingdom impact.
If you want breakthrough this Easter, start with names. Start with fasting. Start six weeks early.
