We were reminiscing today about some awesome prayer meetings we have been involved in.
In our church in London we would pray every Friday night, one week we were praying for missionary friends in Poland so we had a map out and a group of us were laying hands on the map and praying, then Kevin went and got the telephone and he called the couple we were praying for and put them on speaker phone, they were just at a border crossing and were having a scary experience with some guards. We explained that we were praying for them and passed the phone to a couple of people who had words of encouragement from God for them. They were blown away that God had people in another country praying for them just at their time of need. Years later when Kevin went to visit them in their home in Canada they recalled that phone call and how God intervened to get them through that border crossing
God changes situations through our prayers!
Another time our church and two other churches got together and rented a sightseeing boat and about 200 people took a prayer cruise down the river Thames stopping opposite the Houses of Parliament and praying for the government and for spiritual breakthrough in London.
Prayer doesn’t have to be confined to a building!
Other times we took our prayer meeting to the streets of London and would pray in different locations especially outside other churches, praying for God’s blessing and increase on the ministries there.
It’s about the Kingdom of God not about building our kingdom!
Prayer is an exciting interaction with an awesome, powerful God.
