God is visiting Boston with an unprecedented second wave of unified 40 days of prayer & fasting, starting March 1st through April 9th, 2010.
I have decided to blog during these 40 days.
There will be many people, even globally, praying for our city at this time [IHOP leadership, as well as Lou Engle (with TheCall) have also confirmed this call t0 40 days, have blown the trumpet in their own company of intercessors in Kansas City, and have trumpeted this call nationally as well. Links below.]
My own little heart resounds prayer. I have known this was one of the primary mandates upon my life since the very year I was saved in 1994.
For me, this 40 days is very surreal, as it was exactly 4 years ago, when the original 40 days kicked off JHOP Boston. I have been laboring with JHOP since then, in the beautiful place of prayer. I credit that with shaping, molding, directing and even bringing healing in my own life in many ways. Such a divine moment in time in 2006 that was! And also, if any of you were at the last 3 days of the first 40 days, at Tremont Temple, in April 2006, you remember an angel called, "The Breaker Angel" coming into the room. You remember being humbled and marked in the place of prayer. It was a very divine season that kicked off a lot of spiritual connections. It began a very important work of the Lord surrounding prayer in New England. There is an anticipation now.
Prayer and intercession... begets more prayer & intercession. We are being built up into the House of Prayer, which Scripture reveals to us is interchangeable with Mount Zion. This is the Heart of the Father. This is His Will. That we should live and breathe prayer & communion with Him; relationship. With a Holy God. Who wants to know us. Who wants to make Himself known to us, too.
As prayer has been rallied here in New England with increasing intensity and focus, momentum has gained in the last five years. We see that even this cry of unity and prayer is getting louder and the bowls of intercession are beginning to tip over. That "Prayer" FUELS more prayer. Our voice of song is ascending and beating with a cry of intercession for "Let Your Kingdom Come, Let Your Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven." Here, in Boston. Come, Lord Jesus!
So, here I am living in a community of believers on Commonwealth Avenue, in this city, for such a time as this. I just feel that God is good. And that He is moving.
The "open heaven" of this 40 days and the answers to the prayers (which will be prayed during this time) will directly impact. We are hoping it will impact the community house we live in, our church we lead, called The Crossing, but more importantly we have eyes on the Harvest. Upon the Universities of this region. Even for the old ancient wells of revival to BREAK OPEN AGAIN. We see the Kingdom increasing exponentially in our midst.
Let us pray. It will most certainly impact each of your lives, if you let it...
My prayer today: Humble our hearts. Give us clean hands and pure hearts. Renew First Love in this place. Let us draw near to You, O God. In the spirit of grace and supplication. Let us listen for the very beating of Your heart for this season, Abba.
Prayer fuels prayer. He, our God, is most certainly good! Full of mercy. He is the God who hears and answers prayer!
