BRINGING HOME

I helped lead prayer at The Worship Room House of Prayer last night.

If I had to choose a theme for the evening it would be SHOW US HOME. At one point, during the devotional worship set, I began to sing a simple spontaneous chorus.

” OPEN OUR EYES TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD. OPEN OUR EARS TO HEAR THE SONG GOD SINGS OVER US, THE SONG THAT CALLS US HOME.”

During our time of worship with the word we meditated on Song of Solomon 4:9 “You have captured my heart, my treasure, my bride. You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes, with a single jewel of your necklace”

The meditation again turned toward the idea of home as we repeated the line, “We are Your dwelling place and You are our home.”

Then, during our intercession set, I began to pray in the Spirit and I had this deep sense that I was calling the power of my heavenly home into this earthly realm to invade it and heal it. My prayer came from Isaiah 64 “Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
    that the mountains would tremble before you!
As when fire sets twigs ablaze
    and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name known to your enemies
    and cause the nations to quake before you!”

I have this sense that a. very important part of ministry now is to bring the essence of Heaven to Earth: The love, the joy, the peace, the patience, the kindness, the goodness, the faithfulness, the gentleness, and the self control. We may not be able to experience the fullness of these things until we get to Heaven, but what we can bring of those things now we must.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BRING A PIECE OF HEAVEN TO EARTH TODAY?

A PLACE OF PRAYER

One of the things I am believing for our region is that prayer…and answered prayer will become a hallmark of this place.

I am seeing such an increase of the corporate prayer space and it is very encouraging.

The churches of our region are beginning to come together more and more in corporate prayer. Our church has just completed 21 days of fasting and prayer and now two other churches are walking through the lenten fasting season. In addition we now have daily prayer time established in our town through THE WORSHIP ROOM HOUSE OF PRAYER

That’s not all. People are gathering in churches throughout our region for congregational prayer several times a week. We are going to be taking out an ad in the local paper to make the community aware of how much prayer is going on. And we have built a web page to promote those times of prayer.

In the days ahead we will see many answers to prayer and great encouragement of faith in our region.
