Exceeding Expectations

At 7pm tonight, we took over the baton of 'non-stop' prayer. Twenty-one prayer warriors gathered for the opening corporate session in our "Powerhouse" Prayer Room at Inala Chapel.

The power of God's awesome Presence was certainly very real and the heart-felt, believing petitions were filled with desire to seek God's grace and empowerment through our commitment to prayer over the next couple of days.

Two folk prayed praising God for the "privilege of prayer" acknowledging that with this privilege comes responsibility. A corporate Amen was echo to the prayer, "Lord, make us responsible in the faithfulness of our prayer commitments".

Everyone left the "Powerhouse" boldly claiming God's promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 (MSG) ~

"If my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I'll be there ready for you: I'll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health. From now on I'm alert day and night to the prayers offered at this place."
