Prayer conference call notes

Tuesday Aug. 5, we had our 1st prayer conference call. When I, Connie, hung up an hour later, I felt such joy in the Lord for having been part of it and with other people that I didn't know. The call began with a brief 5 minute discussion of "Is anyone seeing God stirring the hearts of others around them that are in the body? Hear anyone commenting on the signs of the times?" I remember 1 person's response in particular as she affirmed and expounded on her yes answer.

We quickly turned to prayer, asking God to lead our prayer time for the evening. Tracy had prepared to start us with Psalm 24, unaware of the testimony of D that I just listed on this blog below. During our prayer time, we prayed specifically the prayer requests for the conference (see blog) , but afterwards when reflecting on what we prayed for in addition to this, in a general sense much of it was praying specifically for intercessors. It seems to be the agenda that God gave us for the evening--to raise up intercessors, to purify us, to not follow our own agenda that night or ever, but to be spirit filled and led were a few of our pleas.

Any possible uncomfortableness that i personally might have felt with praying over the phone with people i didn't know, was immediately dispelled. The time flew by. As others were vocalizing the prayers of their heart that were prayers of my heart, well, words can't describe the affirmation, encouragement and peace that flooded my heart. It was like we have known each other always, but if anyone at anytime would like to join the prayer call and sit quietly and not speak, please feel free to do this. Sometimes we just might need to do this. As you listen to what is prayed, your silent agreement will be heard by our Father in heaven.

Our next prayer opportunity will be announced soon. We are seeking to come together in prayer in Martinsburg and to have another prayer call soon.
