Thriving in the House of Prayer

So here I stand ministering in the early morning hours. I begin to sing, my friend Joel offers Scriptural prayers, and with one heart and voice we engage in an hour of intercessory worship, ministering to the Lord. We are engaging the heavenlies. We are changing the climate and atmosphere. And there's nobody there to hear it...except the ONE in THREE.

The House of Prayer concept is not new. In fact, it's origins stem from the Law of Moses, from the King after God's own heart, in the Temple courts when the Babe was presented, from the mouth of Jesus, through centuries of persecution, the Moravians, through revivals, to this day. And my heart is responding to the call.


Let focus on the bold text above. Luke 2:36-38 says:

There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

That is the picture of the House of Prayer. She didn't do that for 60 plus years for her own benefit. She did it because her prophetic calling was to serve in the Temple to herald the coming of the Messiah, the redemption of Jerusalem. And I believe she thrived!

Although my name isn't Anna, this is the anointed that God is opening up in my life. It's been a slow process (mainly due to my own foot-dragging) but now the heavens are beginning to open and the lot is being cast.

Please download my latest prayer/support letter and catch the vision with me. We can go there together. Let us thrive together, as we minister TO the Lord.
