Today we started a new season of 24/7 Prayer. We are going to be praying around the clock for the next 21 days. I'm very excited about this time. I love when we do season of 24/7 prayer. So often we get so busy and caught up in our daily tasks that we forget to take time to just sit and wait before the lord. I'm helping to lead the base during this time. This is a bit of my vision and desire for us while we pray. I have a hope that we would develop a deep understanding of how much we are loved by Christ. That nothing we do will make Him love us more, and nothing we do will make Him love us less. He loves us because that is what he does. It is His nature to love. That He would blow our box of what that love looks like. As we get a new understand of how much he love us, we would form a deep and intimate friendship with him. As friends of the bridegroom, we would develop a deep understand of His heart for the lost. Christ is our best friend. He has things on his heart that he needs to share with us. Things that He needs us to do as His hands and feet. As His hands and feet, it is our role to stand in the gap on behalf of the things He shares with us. As we understand this love more and more. We will become closer and closer to him. From that we will begin to recognize His voice in greater ways. I'll try to post up some of the times that I will be in the prayer room and you can pray with me. For more information on the 24/7 movement. Go to www.24/7 prayer.com What does 24/7 look like? An hour that you set aside to hang out with Him. Growing in your understand of His love. Developing your friendship with Him. Hearing and acting on the things He speaks. That in it self can look like many different things. For a while it may just be sitting in silence as you practice waiting on Him, and hearing His voice. You may put on your favorite worship cd. As you get use to hearing Him speak you may start doing different things. You may want to write, draw, or paint. You may want to sing, or play an instrument. The prayer room is about hearing him speaking, and fighting for those things. When you fight you don’t just sit still. You become active. You do whatever it takes to win the battle. Let Him love on you. Develop an intimate relationship with Him. Hear His voice, and Be active.
