On the 4th of June we gathered for three hours before the service to join the millions of believers all across the world in prayer for the nations. We were approximately 20 people from different churches and they prayed with authority and power. We prayed for Godly relationships to be established between Russia and all other nations. We prayed that Russia will come into the right relationship with every other nation so that the righteous can come in and for the King of glory to come to the nation. We also prayed that the nations will be prepared to receive the Russian missionaries that will be sent out to the nations.
Then we went into a time of repentance between the men and women of Russia, where the men repented for the ungodly way the women have been treated: for not taking care of them, protecting and loving them, for raping them, for oppressing them, etc. The women then repented for taking and wanting the place and authority of the men, thinking that they are weak, looking down upon them with pride and rebellion in their hearts.
The women cried before the Lord for not honoring their husbands and fathers and I really believe that God did an awesome work in the hearts of the women.
STRATEGIC PRAYER GROUP – 5th of June 2006 - International Exposure
This prayer meeting was very special! We involved a pastor from Swellendam, in the south of SA, and a prophet from Pretoria to take part in our prayer meeting through Skype, using the webcam.
I phoned the pastor from Swellendam as we entered into worship and they could join us in this time of praise and worship. As the pastor prayed with us, (we could hear it over my main speakers), Igor interpreted for the group.
During our time of prayer, I ‘Skyped’ my friend in Pretoria, and she took part, prophesying to the group and joining us in prayer. Again Igor interpreted and we stretched our hands to her (we could see her on the computer monitor) and blessed her in prayer.
Something happened in the spirit by opening up this strategic meeting for people of other nations. It was awesome! ______________________________________________________________________________
If you want to experienc our intercession group and some Russian worship, and maybe pray with us, and you have Skype, you are welcome to contact me and I will try to connect you on a Monday when we have the group.
Skype can be downloaded from internet for free. You also need broadband or stream for a good connection. You will also need earphones with a microphone connected to it so that you can hear us and speak to us Even though you do not have a camera linked to your computer, you will still be able to see us because I have a camera. But it will be great if you also have a little webcam (camera) so that we can also see you! They are not very expensive and very easy to install.
My Skype name is carolsingleton. ______________________________________________________________________________
PRAYER ON 6/6 2006
On this day, once again, believers all over the world gathered together in prayer and praise and worship, and we decided to join them, proclaiming God as the only King over the nation.
I was once again so amazed at the willingness and zeal of the Russian believers! We prayed from 7 o’clock the morning until 7 o’clock the evening, non-stop! We were 14 people together and the worship and intercession flowed like waves through the hours of the day.
God led us to pray and proclaim Jeremiah 50 and 51, especially Jeremiah 50:35-37 where He led us to proclaim His Word, the Sword, against Babylon’s officials and wise men, the false prophets, warriors, horses and chariots and all the foreigners in her ranks(sects and false religions), and her treasures.
Then we started praying for God’s created, divine order to come to all the aspects of society – education, army, government – and the people proclaimed God’s Word and His heart to all these areas, sowing Godly seed! I praise God for His promise in Isaiah 55:11 where He says that His Word will not return empty but it will fulfill the purpose that it was sent out for.
I praise God for the passion and willingness of the believers! At the end of the 12 hours prayer, they said that they didn't want to go home, they want to stay! God is awesome and it is such a privilege to serve God with these people!
THE CHURCH, A HOUSE OF PRAYER
God’s heart never was just for a small prayer group in the church. His heart is that His house will be a house of prayer! By having a prayer group we unknowingly released the message to the church that some are called to prayer and others not. Yes, it is true that some are called to intercession more than others, but every believer should be a pray-er, because that is the way that we build relationship with God.
Therefore, my heart for the church ‘Unity of Christians’ is that the whole church will become a house of prayer for all nations.
One of the ways that we can impart prayer to every believer in the church is through teaching. Therefore, we decided to do a prayer school specifically for the church that started last Sunday, the 11th of June.
We realize that it is summer and many people leave for their summer houses (dachas), so we didn’t expect many people to attend. So, we were blessed to see 29 people arriving for registration and we were even more blessed to find people of other churches in Moscow also attending.
The presence of the Holy Spirit was there right from the start even as I just spoke about the rules of the school! As the worship started, people softly started crying, already touched by the Holy Spirit! The people are so hungry for more of God, so desperate to change into His image and I believe it is this hunger and thirst that makes them so open for the Holy Spirit to just come and minister to them! How awesome it is to know that it is not our job to touch and change people, but it is the awesome work and privilege of the Holy Spirit.
I am excited to see what will happen during the weeks to come.
Please pray for these 29 students:
That they will complete the school and not run away from the work of the Spirit
For the blood of Jesus to protect them and their families during the school
That they will receive the fullness of what God has for them
That each of these students will enter into deep, intimate relationship with Jesus, and that they will discover who God is and who they are in Him
Please pray for us:
That God will give us a shepherd’s heart to shepherd these students
That we will be led by the Holy Spirit in the unique way that He wants to do this school, and that we will not be led by our experience or teachings.
For unity in our team: Me, Olja and Igor
