Live blogging from the prayer room @ 3:35 in the afternoon.

I’ve been around church now since May of 1991, I have seen a lot of different things in Christianity. Some incredibly awesome, some outright weird, something’s worth imitating, some things we need to run from. I’ve been to conferences and learned about methods to grow a church. I’ve sat in churches that were alive with God’s presence, I’ve been in times of dryness.

But I am here to say that something incredible is happening in Kansas City. Right now Misty Edwards is on stage leading a multi-cultural worship team singing about, one goal, one aim, one vision, one dream, on thing – Jesus. With black led chorus of Ain’t no one like you Jesus… There are about 500+ people in the room together with no agenda but to pray and seek God. No conversation, no show, just 24/7/365 praise and worship. Incense continually burning to the heavens..

Times like this have happened in the church, but in our day and age there is nothing like it in the united states. 9+ years of continuous worship flowing from a single location living out eziekeiel 44:15 which is lit up on the wall adjacent from me and reads “The priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of my Sanctuary, they shall come near to Me to minister to Me.”

They are praying for their city, interceding for our country, for the world. Doing spiritual warfare on our behalf night and day. Plowing spiritual ground in the heavenlies.

I am in awe of what is going on, but I am also in awe of the multicultural move that is happening here. The lady sitting next to me has a Korean bible, there are many people here who are Asian believers, Hispanic, black, white with all one goal, one aim, one vision, one dream – Jesus the son of God.

Lord prepare us, may your spirit be poured out in Jacksonville, might you manifest your power and might in our midst. Lord we pray for revival, we pray for racial unity, we pray that the church of Jacksonville would have a singular dream of knowing you and making you known. That we would return to the roots, return to the basics, that your house would once again be a house of prayer for ALL NATIONS. That we would set aside out petty differences and that people would know us for our love for one another. That when one is weak others who are strong would lift eachother up.

That the church would not live out a Sunday morning faith, that we wouldn’t wait till Sunday to experience you, but that we would wait on you daily, that you would be our priority, our goal, our mission in life..

Let the latter rain fall on your church. Lord you promised us miracles, and signs and wonders. Lord let them manifest themselves in Jacksonville. Lord our heart weaps over this city. For those who are murdered, for those who are poor and oppressed, for the unwed mothers, for those who are divorced, for those who are abused, for those who have no voice.

Prepare your church God – Position us – make us ready – purify our hearts. Make us instruments for your glory. Lord may we make your name famous in all the earth – may you open the doors for your word to spread rapidly and have great effect. Lord we long for revival in our hearts, in our families, in our  church, in our city, in our country, in this world.

There is none like you!

Breakforth in our city, bring people of all races and backgrounds together in one accord in worship of you.

You are an awesome God – worthy to be praised….

One goal, one vision, one dream, amen..
