Prayer Meeting

Posted by Picasa

On a Friday night I went into grants pass and spent some time walking and praying with a group from the vineyard church in grants pass. This group is exceptional because the motivation for going out onto the streets doesn't come from an adult leader alone. This is a youth lead and directed demonstration of what God can do in a city. These kids go out and do great things because they want to, and because they have a heart for the city.

The prayer meeting consisted of 4 separate groups of about 10 who dispense themselves into different areas of the city. Some targets are specific, like the courthouse, where the group will pray for a particular agenda. The other specific target is the adult entertainment club in the city limits. The youth will meet outside on the sidewalks and spend time in communal or private prayer, asking for his light and redemption over these venues.

Two other groups find places in town where they can be available to meet others on the streets and bless them. When given a chance one of these kids will pray for healing, help, understanding or just ask for God's blessings in a persons life. Truly God works wonders through the least; a ten year old, getting a prophetic word for someone walking past.

After the group had been on the streets of Grants Pass for an hour of two, some people shared what they had done, the prophetic words they got for others, the prayers they prayed; they shared with the group all that the Lord had done. After the sharing the group then prayed. they went through a sequence of praise, thanksgiving, speaking in tongues, and applause.

I enjoyed my time and experience with this group. And I pray that God will continue the work He has begun in their lives.
