FRESNO HOUSES OF PRAYER EVERYWHERE
"It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer" Matthew 21:13b
"We believe ministry is done best when our lives are rooted in prayer and worship that focuses on intimacy with God, as we intercede for a breakthrough of the fullness of God’s power. (IHOP) We believe that prayer is vital for the transformation of our cities, state, and nation. We believe it is by developing a culture of prayer and carrying the Presence of Jesus in worship/work, we become transformation agents in our spheres of influence. We are passionate in our pursuit of Him and to know the transforming love of God. We are a regional House of Prayer with prayer warriors from many churches represented.
Prayer Watches:
In biblical times, a 'watch' was set by the Romans to guard the city. Is. 21:6 "Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees'. Like watchmen on the walls, we are committed to pray for our city and for those who live and work in it. It is also our intent to pray for the seven mountains of influence and those leaders in it and to seek the Lord for transformation of our region. Today, we refer to to watchmen as 'intercessors'. Some are given specific assignments to pray for 'government', schools, business, social justice etc. As Nehemiah was called to rebuild the walls and gates of a city, we will also set different times, locations and formats of prayer for the region. Prayer/worship watches are divided up by 1-2 hour segments.
