HOW PEOPLE EXPERIENCED 24/7 PRAYER

​HOW PEOPLE EXPERIENCED 24/7 PRAYER

We invited participants to tell us about their experience during the 24/7 prayer week. Here is just a small selection of the responses we received:

 “My hour flew by as I learned it is good to do nothing but listen and talk with God.”

 “These rooms express God’s heart.”

 “I could not get enough of the LORD Jesus.”

 “[I experienced a] renewing of my mind and perspective on the sovereignty of the Lord, and a newfound sense of true peace with no fear.”

 “As soon as I walked into room one, I was overcome by emotion. My family just received an answer to prayer, and I had not made enough time or space to express my gratitude to my heavenly Father.”

 “24/7 prayer may have changed how I pray for the rest of my life. It was like the Spirit was here, waiting for me, and eager to lead me in prayer.”

 “It was awesome. The rooms are beautiful and inspiring! Please make it a yearly event! Thank you!!! It was my first time to pray for one hour!!!

 “[I loved] the experience of sharing with my daughters in prayer, learning to draw close to them and seeing how the Lord Jesus moves through us.”

 “As I worshiped, prayed, danced and waved banners in the sanctuary, I sensed God saying over his people—I wave a banner over YOU to let the world know you are mine. And to Bethel, God says, “My banner over you is LOVE” (Song of Songs 2:4).

 “Let’s keep praying that next year we will have every room filled with prayer warriors!”

Some common themes we heard from participants were: “I really enjoyed being in God’s presence,” and “the time went by so quickly.”

​I will be sharing more of the remarkable results of our 24/7 prayer week during worship on Sunday. If you have anything you would like to share, please contact one of the organizers (Cathy Ferchau, Adrienne Kelsey, Kevin Magnes, or myself).—Pastor Tom
