Preparing the Prayer Room for the King

Every person is different, but we all need to find those people and places that enable us to re-center on Christ regularly, so that the reflex reaction of our lives remains prayerful all the time. A season of 24-7 prayer provides a place, a time, a context, and a catalyst for this conscious and persistent prayer to continue, both individually and corporately. The prayer room is a picture of constant activity in the heart of every believer. It helps us maintain the flame of worship on the altar of our lives. We leave the prayer room encouraged and enabled to keep on praying consciously and subconsciously through the trials of the day ahead… A regular hour in a 24-7 prayer room is both an expression of and an inspiration for a lifestyle of continual prayer.

Preparing a place for the King of kings, the Creator of the universe to come and dwell, is an awesome privilege. We should take great care in such a wonderful undertaking. We want the prayer room to enable every person to center on Christ, and maintain a flame of worship that carries them through the ups and downs of daily life outside the prayer room. You may wonder:

  • How do we create an atmosphere of prayer?
  • How do we decorate the prayer room attractively so people want to come to pray?
  • What should it look like so that it attracts God’s presence?

The most important key throughout the whole preparation phase is to seek God together with other like-minded people. Pray about every detail and every need. Before our one-month House of Prayer in Virginia, a group of people got together to pray every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 5:30-7:30 A.M. to prepare for it. We prayed about everything again and again. We brought before the Lord our hearts and our desires for our city and the entire region. We prayed about every need.

As we started, God put everything together just in time. It was as if we were flying the plane as we built it. This takes faith because everything did not fall into place as early as we would have liked. But it kept our dependence level high and our prayers fervent.

God knows every need and is fully aware of every challenge in setting up a House of Prayer.

As we look back to these initial times, we are amazed at how God worked things out even at the last moment. We must learn to depend fully on Him because only He can work out the details. It is God who makes things grow in the spiritual realm.

At the time I wrote this, we were working towards three simultaneous one-month Houses of Prayer. You can imagine how completely dependent we were on God to work it out in all three cities. But as we fervently prayed, God gave us guidance. We simply obeyed His leading step-by-step.

We also met together regularly with the prayer leaders in these locations and kept in close connection, but it was totally up to God to work out all the details and answer our prayers. Although we didn’t have 24/7 prayer going continuously in all three locations, we felt it was successful anyway. Our faith grew through the tests we faced during that time.

More prayer in a city is a big success to God.

So it pays to look for a great deal.

  3. Thanks for your posting. I would also love to opinion that the first thing you will need to carry out is to see if you really need credit improvement. To do that you have got to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit score. That should not be difficult, because the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to get one no cost copy of your real credit report annually. You just have to request the right folks. You can either look into the website for that Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the leading credit agencies specifically.

  5. Great post right here. One thing I would really like to say is always that most professional fields consider the Bachelor Degree as the entry level standard for an online college diploma. Whilst Associate Certification are a great way to start, completing your own Bachelors uncovers many doorways to various employment opportunities, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Course Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online editions of their degree programs but usually for a considerably higher fee than the providers that specialize in online degree programs.

  6. I have noticed that of all forms of insurance, medical health insurance is the most dubious because of the issue between the insurance policy company’s duty to remain afloat and the customer’s need to have insurance policy. Insurance companies’ profits on health plans are very low, so some companies struggle to earn profits. Thanks for the thoughts you talk about through this website.

If your machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory ceiling is 3.25GB. The installation of a lot more than this would purely constitute any waste. Be sure that one’s motherboard can handle an upgrade volume, as well. Interesting blog post.
