Prayer Times = A History in God

Submitted by jon on April 6, 2010 - 4:58pm

And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

- Luke 18:7-8

Prayer Times

I really do cherish my times in the Prayer House, especially during these seasons of 24 hour prayer. There's something about these seasons of prayer that attracts the presence of God in a very tangible way. People get saved. There are physical and emotional healings. Long-time Christians encounter God in new and powerful ways.

24 Hour Kickoff is this Wednesday- Check out our new video!

Healthcare, Justice and The Prayer House

Healthcare and Justice

I'm not in love with the political system. At least not in the way some people are. I have friends, co-workers and family members who really enjoy talking about and discussing the latest bills and legislation.

However, I am very interested in justice and legislation related to justice.

Elijah was a man

"Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops." - James 5:17-18

Heroes of the Faith

I think there is an idealogy in the Body of Christ today to look at men and women of God in leadership positions as "untouchables". This isn't to say that people feel like they can't connect with today's Christian leaders, or even to assume that today's leaders intentionally try to distance themselves from normal Christians like you and me. No, I think the "untouchable" idealogy is best defined this way: "Normal Christians often look at most leaders' gifts, callings and anointings as out of their spiritual scope and reach (e.g. 'untouchable')"

True Prayer

“True preaching is humiliation. True prayer is humiliation. True witness is humiliation.” - Jaeson Ma, The Blueprint

In my sophomore and junior years of college, I remembering having so much more courage in the areas of open air worship and prayer and preaching. I remember worshipping outdoors on Hayden Lawn every Friday afternoon at 2pm for two hours for an entire semester. Looking back, it almost seems surreal. I must have looked clinically insane or, maybe worse, like a "radical" Christian. Either way, all I knew was that I wanted to see ASU transformed. And prayer and the preaching of the Gospel were the only ways I knew how to change anything.

Next 40 Days: Removing Noise from our Lives

Submitted by chris on February 19, 2010 - 4:55pm

Wednesday marked the beginning of a 40-day fast, in preparation for 24-hour prayer at ASU (if you didn't get an email, sign up to receive updates). Even if you didn't start on Wed, you can still start now!

Here's the story: I was sitting in church a few weeks ago. During the testimony and sharing time, a woman was singing a spontaneous song from God...or trying to. I was having a hard time understanding, because there was a lot of distortion and noise coming through the mic. Unexpectedly at that moment, as I'm trying to focus on the words, the Lord speaks to me: "Chris, you have noise in your life."

Introduction

Hey all,

Yes, that's right. LoveASU and The Prayer House have officially started a blog. I'm sure you're asking yourself, "Why on earth would they want to start a blog?" Well, here is a short three-word answer: Articles and Testimonies.

Each week, usually on a Wednesday or Friday, we'll be making posts on this blog. And it will either be one of two things. An article or a testimony. Simple as that. All of our articles will center around the core values of The Prayer House (Intimacy, Day and Night Prayer, United Mission and New Testament Church Culture). Chris and I will be diligently researching and authoring most of the articles. But we'll also feature guest writers and other published works that center around these core values.
