                                             ============================

 We have two guiding Scripture passages that make up the “rails” if you will, of the Thursday night prayer group. 

The first is the Scripture that Don shared as something God had spoken about this group.

I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.                                                    Ezekiel 22:30

We have been told that this prayer group is somewhat unique, and we believe it was founded by the will of God. They say, How many churches do you think have a prophetic intercessor group, made up almost exclusively of males? 

 We have been meeting weekly for six years now. 
We are called to contend for this city, for this region, and for the souls of the men and women, boys and girls, who live here, both as individuals and as a group of intercessors.

 We are called to pray for Salvation (SOZO) in all three expressions.
  1.      Redemption from the sinful nature
  2.      Deliverance from all demonic spiritual bondage/influence
  3.     Healing of all diseases that are the work of the curse
The second rail is a Scripture that is the key to all Spirit-led prayer in the Church.

Likewise, the Spirit also helps with our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.                                                   Romans 8:26-27

The context of this verse of Scripture in Romans 8 is that:

1.   Creation groans to see the manifestation of the sons of God comes to fruition. (v22)
2.   We groan to see ourselves come into full sonship, the redemption of our bodies. (v23)
3.   The Spirit groans making intercession for us according to the will of God. (v26)
                                    -------
21 … the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
then our original text in verse 26 ...
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. - ROMANS 8-

For this reason, we have purposely dedicated time to a personal connection with God at the outset of each meeting. In order to facilitate this process of seeking the mind of God, before praying, we have provided: 

·         Spiritually appropriate soaking music.
·         Low lighting (to lower the distraction factor of others)  
·         Ample time to connect with the Lord.
·         Enough physical space to get alone with God.

As we come together to pray
·         We have encouraged people to pray only what has been impressed on them after seeking the heart of the Lord.
·         We have encouraged prophecy, exhortation, declarations, words of knowledge, visions, dreams, and words of wisdom.  
·         We have encouraged obedience through prophetic actions and/or applications immediately following the receiving a word, an impression, or a vision.
·         We have borne with each other’s infirmities, shyness, timidity, immaturity, sickness, etc.
·         We have prayed for each other.
·         We have left the ending time open to the ebb and flow of the Spirit of prophecy and intercession.  
"Prophecy provides an agenda for prayer"-Graham Cooke
 "The most sensible thing we can do in a prayer meeting is to find out what God wants to do and ask Him to do it." 
"Most successful prayer initiatives have their roots in the prophetic."

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about being given the key of David to open and no m

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible school was

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earlier,
