Yom Kippur
10/09/2008 06:43 PM
Today was
Yom HaKippurim (aka Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement). I
came into the House of Prayer at 5:30am prepared to
lead a repentant devotional worship set at 6am, and
found the nightwatch travailing on the floor in intense
intercession. Transitioning onto the platform, I wanted
to keep the engagement going with the Lord as the
intercession switched off. And smoothly they did, only
to come back three minutes later and ask if they could
join me and keep going, because they felt a mighty
grace for intercession. So they took up their
instruments again and we continued, the entire room, to
engage the heart of the Lord over the issues of raising
up rightous leadership in our government, crying out
for for mercy on behalf of our nation. And a
supernatural grace for intercession sustained our
prayers into the 8am set, where we picked up the normal
worship leader for that set. Then finally transitioned
to the next team at 10am- where the 4am worship team
finally got off the platform after 6 hours straight,
only to stand down front and pray fervently, while I
switched from acoustic guitar to the bass to support
the new worship leader. And that's how it rolled
through eight hours of intense intercessory prayer on
the morning of Yom Kippur in the House of Prayer.
That's what I call a Yom Kippur, pleading a better
blood (Heb 12:24), the blood of Yeshua, over our sins
and the sins of our nation!
I want to encourage everyone to pray for MERCY every day. And encourage your friends and family to pray for MERCY every day. Pray for this election with urgency, because it is vital that the cry for righteous government and mercy upon our wicked nation be heard in the court of Heaven. Do not faint, do not back down, do not cease. But press in, until the final vote. May it be said, America approved of what is just and right on election day in 2008.
