Finally, we will break up into groups by county to see how we can partner together in mobilizing more prayer throughout the PDX metro area.
A little Background Story
For the past 20+ months, a small group of leaders have been meeting together for Strategic Prayer, agreeing with Heaven and hearing the Father's Heart for our region.
Like the SONs of Issachar, who understood the Times (for David, a man after God's own heart, to become King) and what THEY must do (collaborate with The King of Kings in making it so), we are now calling all seasoned and mature Intercessors, Ambassadors (Apostles) & Watchmen (Prophets) of the Kingdom to come together in Unity and Honor.
Now is the time to come AS ONE, Pray & Worship our God together and receive His Heart (Passion) for our region! We want to share with YOU, what we have been seeing and hearing, as well as hear from you, what the Holy Spirit has been saying to His Church (called out ones).
Everything that sounds familiar, and may seem like a "been there, done that," is now taking on a new dimension of effectiveness. The way the Lord has been talking to us, it sure feels like He is calling us (His People) together in an unprecedented way. Is it possible that He has a plan & He is revealing some simple strategies, that would begin to unite the fragmented church of the greater Portland-Vancouver metro area, to accomplish HIS purpose? We believe so!
Since our May 2015 gathering, we have been Agreeing with God for . . .
- His Kingdom to come and His government of Love to be established in our region. We know the enemy will launch a counter attack to hinder & derail what God wants to do. Pray that every plan of the enemy will be revealed and prophetic revelation will flow with an anointed Word to take him out.
- A wall of defense to be built. Pray for our leaders, as we already know there are demonic assignments set against Marriages, Families (Youth), Health, Finances and Various Distractions.
- His Ambassadors (Apostles) & Watchmen (Prophets) to come forth, and in brokenness and humility begin to establish unity & government. Pray for His foundation to be in place so that real Body building can continue. Pray for leaders to unite for His purposes.
- A greater revelation of the Kingdom of God to be made know to everyone. There is a birthing of new things coming forth, let us labor in prayer and faith in action to see them fully come forth.
- Kingdom connections, not just events or meetings, but real relationships to be established. We cannot just gather around something we have in common, but for a greater purpose of seeing His Kingdom come.
- Revelation to flow concerning all our prayerwalking efforts at all the different levels of assignments. An example is, some will walk to bring Gods blessings, and others will walk with a greater revelation of remitting sins. Still others will be walking to confront and bring down powers of darkness that have strongholds established in this region.
There are many Words that God has released over this region through His people. Many times God's declared purpose and intentions for a person, or a region are expressed, but not every purpose or intention of God is accomplished, because such requires an agreement and a contending of the people who hear it. Paul told Timothy "war a good warfare, by the prophecies that went on before you" in other words take a stand in faith and fight for the fulfillment of God's declared intentions as they concern you.
As we continue to stand for this region, God is gathering His Apostles (Ambassadors), Prophets (Watchmen), Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Worshipers & Intercessors (every saint who has a heart for the Kingdom) to come together and contend for the promises, prophecies, His declared and intended purposes for this region.
Once again, we are standing in agreement with these Words that have been released over our region. Who will be the people who take responsibility for these Words actually being accomplished? Psalms 18 declares that God is preparing our hands for war, not just to battle, not just to engage in a conflict, but to eternally establish ground that will never be lost again!
At our July 2015 gatherings, we learned the Principles of Prayerwalking!
Henry Gruver shared with us his experiences that have transformed neighborhoods, communities, regions & 54 nations around the world over the past 54 years. Listen to Presentation 1, Listen to Presentation 2 Then, we met at Portland's Gates of Hell to Worship & Pray, reaching out to whomever God brought to us and those whom we met along the way. Many people was delivered, healed and saved!
Throughout 2016, we have taken it to the Streets!
On Wednesday, January 27th, 2016, Father's House City Ministries launched weekly City Transformation Teams on the streets of downtown Portland.
Then we gathered for "Opening the Gates of Heaven!" at Waterfront Park in downtown Portland for worship, prayerwalks and ministry teams on Wednesday, June 29th, July 27th and August 31st. Watch some short testimonies of what God did this summer!
