We just finished up our week in the Prayer Fortress, with our Compassion Team, headed up by Dr. Boris. We spend 2 full weeks a year, fasting and praying in the Prayer Fortress. In teams of at least two, females separate from males, we pray in increments of 2 1/2 hours at a time, interceding for family & friends, twice a day, 12 hours apart. We also have personal devotions and group devotions, Bible studies and services, throughout the day. A truly tough, and exhausting week, but so many breakthroughs and miracles! God ALWAYS proves faithful! We love hearing the praise reports from those who have asked us to pray!
After years of working the night shift in the hospital, we prefer praying during the night. It's cooler and there are less distractions....well, except for creatures of the night.....bats, bugs (when we say bugs, we mean mucho bugs), mammoth locust/grasshoppers, and moths of ALL sizes! But there are other benefits, too, like the beautiful sunrises on the 3:45 am to 6:15am shift!
God not only answers the prayers we lift to Him, but He paints us pretty pictures in the sky, to remind us just how majestic He is!!
Entering into the prayer tower reminded me of entering the tabernacle of Moses...as you go up to the second level, the PRESENCE of the LORD is more and more tangible, like entering the Holy Place, and there you are, suddenly before the Holy of Holies, before the KING and you feel the angels around you there. Thank you for your yielding to HIM and offering up prayers on others behalf at that Place where GOD ENCOUNTERS happen.
