Prayer meeting with 4500 people @ church
Posted by Johan under daily
Is Hillsong a church that believes in prayer? How important do they thing prayer is? Do they pray for the sick? Does people get healed? Can you see God performing miracles? - Many people think it’s mostly about the music. How wrong they are.
In every weekend service there is time for prayer requests. AND - for prayer reports. It’s amazing what God does. Every week there are reports about people getting healed, marriages reconciled, people restored, financial miracles. And - most importantly, through out the week, there is a solid prayer life through out the whole city - of course in peoples personal time with God, but also in the connect groups that gather - and form a network of people ready to pray for their friends at any time of the day or night.
Last sunday Pastor Brian had wanted to gather the church to a big prayer meeting - in times when many people face financial challenges and a lot of stress and pressure due to the circumstances in the global financial markets. So two evening meetings where changed to one big prayer meeting at 6pm.
The church was packed, and the atmosphere full of expectation. The church prayed together - for all prayer requests - and in sections, for the continents and their specific situations. There was a strong sense of togetherness, and that God walks through all seasons and situations with his people. Mighty is he!
great to read this …
I’m convinced that this financial shake up is to remind us that we need to be more dependent on God -and to put our faith in Him not our bankaccounts though.
What I’m excited about -though I don’t know how it is going to happen - is that as here in Europe the church moves back to being a church in the margins, small and on the edge, there’s a whole lot of potential for it to get out there and make disciples.
That’s NOT to knock Hillsongs or other megachurches, they play an amazing role in getting us fired up for God
and that excites me too :=)
(maybe I’m too easily excited ???)
