24/7 Prayer

"On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the Lord in remembrance, take no rest, and give him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth." (Isaiah 62:6-7)

Spurred on by the passion of the youth, Shiloh is starting a week of unending prayer. This means that we will be praying 24-7, crying out to God and interceding on behalf of this church, it's people, the city of Spokane, and the world. We are starting this Sunday, February 22nd @ Noon and continuing from there. We will be setting up a prayer room in the latter half of the youth room, and this will be no ordinary prayer room. This room will engage your senses and create the space for you to worship and pray with creativity and uniqueness. You will leave this room energized and refreshed!

So how does this work? People sign up for an hour slot and are committing to praying in the prayer room during that hour. The building will be safe and secure for the nighttime hours. We will have people in the building at all times.

"Whenever God sets out to do something great, He always calls His people to pray". God is calling us to pray! Will you join in with us in seeking the Lord and asking great things of Him. God is on the move.

Have you signed up to pray for an hour in the prayer room yet? Here are a few quotes from students to encourage you to take this step:

"God's whisper is so much louder in here" - anonymous pray-er referring to the prayer room

"Life's burdens are so much easier to deal with after spending an hour with God" - student from Elevation

"I was able to be myself before God" - student from Elevation

"I have never experienced such a peaceful place" - student from Elevation

"WOW! This prayer thing actually WORKS!" - shocked student

The truth is that when people come to pray, God moves and moves in power! God is on the move and wants to connect with this church in a new and fresh way! As Shiloh starts 40 days of prayer on March 1st, we are establishing a prayer room to season the 40 days OF prayer WITH prayer.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Paul encourages us to "pray without ceasing" and we are going to take this seriously! We are going to fill an entire week with prayer -- every minute will be filled! While the youth are setting this prayer room up, this is really a church-wide event! We do not know the results of what will happen, but we do know that God is calling us to pray like never before.

There are sign-ups at Shiloh now but they are filling up fast. Please come to Shiloh or call 509-252-0806 (JJ) to reserve a spot of prayer. What an incredible opportunity this is for the body here at Shiloh.

Will you please consider signing up for an hour of prayer? We can make fill every minute!

Grace & Peace in Jesus Christ,
