I went to our “Five Days of Prayer” tonight as I felt better from the cold I have had for the last three days and had a wonderful time. It is such a blessing to listen to people as they pray their hearts for their lost friends, neighbors, and family. People know the consequence of remaining an unbeliever, so the passion and concern for those they know who are headed for hell is powerful.
As I was lying in bed listening to people’s prayers via Zoom for the last three days, I would try to figure out who they were by their voices. Tonight, I was doing the same in the prayer room as I tried to figure out who was praying. It is hard when people have their heads bowed; I can’t see their faces or tell precisely where the sound is coming from.
Here is a significant axion of my pastoral life;
“The corporate prayer of a church family is the most powerful force on the earth.” Those who don’t participate are missing out on a powerful experience of the presence of God. Being part of such an amazing experience of power and unity is supernatural.
‘I truly believe that the number of people who gather to pray is significant to God and that He is waiting for that number to reach a tipping point that He has determined before He does truly amazing things in and through that church. I also believe that we are close to that prayer volume needed when we will see and experience an incredible outpouring of His Holy Spirit into our geographical area. I want very, very much to experience that before I am done here and head off to heaven.
