Dear Friends and Intercessors,
We will not have any corporate calls this week to allow the team and the intercessors the opportunity to rest and be refreshed in the Lord.
We will resume our calls Sunday, October 9th.
There are times when it is necessary to pull away and let God refresh your mind, your heart and your soul while you immerse yourself in Him. Spend time in worship, pour over the Scriptures, and let His Divine presence consume you.
Remember, the Lord says that
2023 is the Year of Revolution, we must prepare for what lay ahead. (I shared this live
August 12, 2022.) We will see a revolution in governments, the economy, and the Church. As intercessors, we will put much of our energy into the rebuilding process. It’s important to note, that rebuilding the Church is to rebuild the House of Prayer and that begins with us.
Isaiah 56:7 says:
“Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”
We are rebuilding the Church in this hour so that it will be identified as a House of Prayer for all people.
What is prayer?
It’s communication with our Father Which art in Heaven. This communication involves worship, praise, intercession, repentance, petitions, and even warfare. Prayer is to be done with a heart of humility, it is a holy time, just as He is holy, for we are in His presence.
The Hebrew year 5783 just began, let us enter with a pure heart. This week in particular, during Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement involves baring our hearts before our Lord and Savior in personal repentance which prepares us for the work we will do in the coming year.
Why do we need to be identified as a House of Prayer for all people?
In the midst of difficult times, knowing there is a place you can go to find God can mean the difference between life and death. During Covid lockdowns, suicide rates skyrocketed around the world. Fear and isolation led people to unprecedented hopelessness. They needed the House of Prayer.
This is part of the Revolution in the Church; we will become known as the Ecclesia (those called out of the world and up to God) and the House of Prayer.
We encourage you to spend this time with Him, avail yourself to the working of Holy Spirit, and we will come back together next week for our usual schedule.
We love and bless you all!
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
