New Houses of Prayer

Key Scripture: Isaiah 56:6-7 (NIV)

 6 “And foreigners who bind themselves to the LORD
       to serve him,
       to love the name of the LORD,
       and to worship him,
       all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it
       and who hold fast to my covenant-
 
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain
       and give them joy in my house of prayer.
       Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
       will be accepted on my altar;
       for my house will be called
       a house of prayer for all nations.”
  

General Prayer Focus: The Prayer Movement

Specific Prayer Focus: New Houses of Prayer being started

Tidbit of Information: The leaders of a house of prayer in Jerusalem, Succat Hallel, are currently helping start up new houses of prayer in Brussels, Belgium, eastern Turkey, and Dubai.  They will be ministering at prayer summits and teaching seminars on birthing a house of prayer.  They are also helping with houses of prayer in Israel, Afghanistan, and Egypt.  In their recent email newsletter, they asked for prayer for great grace, laborers, joy, provision and protection in areas where there is persecution against Christians.  (March 10, 2010 email)

Prayer: Father, I praise You for the work You are doing in the nations of the earth and how You are building Your house of prayer!  I thank You for the leadership at Succat Hallel and for their ministry to the nations and their passion for furthering the prayer movement.  Today I ask that You would truly give them joy in Your house of prayer and that You would pour out every drop of grace and provision that they need!  I pray that You would bring them laborers to join in this effort – leaders, musicians, singers, intercessors, administrators – and that these people would be ones who have bound themselves to You in servanthood, love and worship.  I pray for protection upon them as they travel and minister and that You would keep them safe from the schemes of the enemy.  I ask that Your Holy Spirit would come on them in great power and anointing for the raising up of many houses of prayer throughout the earth, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
