Hi Ben and Vesper,
I’m loivng reading your blogs…Wow, Alban’s drawing is amazing! Your experience sounds life-changing, and ultimately community-changing.
The only thing I’m not happy about is the 50+ group. Does that really necessitate a separate grouping??? And what’s this talk of retirement…Haven’t you heard? Life begins at 50!
Sorry I couldn’t help myself, as I’m only 4 months away from the big 5 0 !!!
I pray that the Lord would help you retain all that He has given you, help you to concentrate on the things He has for you, and indeed magnify those things He would have you share…and that you would be protected from any attacks as you re-enter, In Jesus’ Powerful Name, Amen!
Love,
Elise

Thanks for the info Vesper. I definitely am interested in learning to pray more effectively and do more corporate prayer.

Vicki, keep your finger on that pulse…everything I hear is that it’s hard to do but I believe it might be where this is going…think a 5-10 year plan…I’m thinking of having a night vigil in the near future, though…pray for the logistics, but mostly for God’s leading and timing!!! Girl, I’m with you!

You might be interested to know that there are a few houses of prayer in our near vicinity–none of them 24-7 but one does 1 a month, and the other holds a LOT of meetings, almost verbatim in the IHOP “harp and bowl” style.

You can start by subscribing to the webstream on the IHOP website and holding vigil that way…it’s sweet…and only $10 a month…

I’ve decided after reading this that I’m going to hand Esther’s Kaffe Klatsch over to Ben. (just kidding.)

Wow.

No, I’m not going to do another entry; this says it all.

All I can say is, yes, I did the night watch last night, and it was so, so sweet. Even though we all have different callings from God–a purpose–an assignment…and as Ben says, it NEVER moves away from prayer. I see that now…my chief, primary and most…(gosh, i can’t find a word that stresses it enough!)…important purpose in life is to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord…never, ever to move from the place of intimacy with my Bridegroom.

Readers, God’s BLESSINGS to you.

You right been. The women of LOG have beening buzzing about the IHOP after reading Ester’s blog. I think there are many from LOG who would love to experience the 24/7 House of Prayer. Wouldn’t be great to get that started in NJ. There have been rumors that it could be done. I would stand up and volunteer tomorrow if necessary. I really believe in the power of prayer and as Pastor Scott reminds us, “we must pray in order to affect change”. Let bring the change in Jersey with 24/7 prayer.
