In this special prayer moment, Pastor Bill leads us in asking the Lord to give us the gift to pray in a way that would have an effect on the course of history.
we’re going to pray something a little
bit different
in that today i want you to pray about
praying
i feel like the lord would release over
the whole bethel family tribe gathered
around the world really
a fresh fresh mantle for prayer
i was uh i’m writing a book right now
on on revival so i’ve been reviewing
stories that
you know just they just ignite my heart
they messed me up to be honest with you
i was reviewing again this morning
and earlier this week this story about
in wales this uh
this couple was traveling by train into
wales and they wanted to know
where the revival was and the conductor
said you’ll feel it
just told you’ll feel it when the train
came into the area
they knew another story they were
asking people in the community where is
the gathering taking place
where is the revival meeting so to speak
where are they meeting
he said well just go down this street
and they said well how will we know
you’re there
we’re there i said you’ll feel it you’ll
just become aware
of something happening there are so many
stories like this through the
ages really of when god begins to move
it actually changes the climate
of a city in some cases the climate of a
nation
[Music]
and we need the climate of a nation to
change
it’s not because we get a majority
praying
is because we get his people praying
it’s because we come into agreement with
the heart of god
we lift up our cries we make decrees and
we lay ourselves down
as an offering unto the lord the verse
that came to mind
a couple verses but one i’ll mention to
you said to pray for rain in the day of
latter rain it means one of two things
either you’re praying for rain while
it’s raining
which is to have an impact of increase
and sustained outpouring
or you are praying in the season of rain
but it’s not raining yet
either way that’s what we’re to do and i
want to ask you right now we’re going to
take just a moment
but i want you to invite the lord to
actually give you
a gift to pray in this season
that would actually have an effect on
the course of history
for the nation of the united states and
for the nations that are represented
watching this video now so i want you to
take just a moment
and pray just say these words god give
me a mantle of prayer
just say it out loud make the
proclamation give me a mantle of prayer
teach me to pray let me pray with the
energy of god
with the life of god with the heart and
mind of god
to decree a matter and to see it happen
we pray
merciful god change the climate
of the nations from anger
to love from fear to great peace
that you would transform us as a people
of god
to be agents of revival for this next
season
we pray this in jesus name we pray
that people would feel it on the train
again
they would feel it walking down the
street again that hearts and minds would
be
changed by simply stepping into the
atmosphere of grace
we ask for this over this nation now in
jesus name
everybody said amen amen amen
oh my we’ll be together soon
don’t know when but soon don’t hold your
breath
take some breaths but it is soon
love you guys so much
