Excerpts from My Book, My House Shall Be called a House a Prayer - the 7 Principles of becoming a Praying Church

II Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.

Over the last few weeks to months many in the Body of Christ have quoted this verse in relation to the COVID19 virus, admonishing the body of Christ that God can heal our land if we do what 2 Chronicles 7:14 says. The President of the United States, as well as the Presidents of many nations around the world have even called national days of prayer to ask God's intervention in their nations

The dichotomy of these steps toward faith and piety are that the same people that are quick to look to God, using 2 Chronicles 7:14 to stop the plague are slow to see this plague as a consequence of man's turning from God. They say things like, "God is...

As we enter into one of the most severe, significant times in a generation, I believe it is imperative for God's people to understand the times to know what the church ought to do.

In January during a personal time of prayer, during the week of our January online Solemn Assembly, while reading the word of God, I was taken into a vision and heard the audible voice of God say.... THESE ARE DYING DAYS.

Later that morning, as I was leading a corporate prayer time on Facebook Live, while praying in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit led me to Isaiah 26:20, 21 to pray on that Live. 

Isa 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

INTRODUCTION

ENCOUNTERING GOD IN THE LORD’S (DISCIPLES) PRAYER

In 2017, almost two years after a 10 day prayer, worship and evangelism Solemn Assembly at Shiloh Christian Center, we were still praying worshiping and evangelizing the region, day and night. What began as a 10-day solemn assembly turned into an ongoing day and night house of prayer at Shiloh.  One night as I was praying in the night, I had a dream concerning how to pray, what is commonly known as The Lord’s Prayer, to encounter God and build a culture of encounter prayer in God’s house. I dreamed I was by myself in the Hope for Columbus prayer room, the 24/7 prayer room established in 2015, praying what’s called, “The Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11:2; Matt 6:10.”  In the dream I was praying through the Lord’s (Disciples) prayer in phrases (7 phrases), saying the phrases from the prayer and then praying those phrases...

SET FREE AND DIDN’T EVEN KNOW I WAS BOUND

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Joh 8:36

One of the most overlooked purposes of Christs' first appearing, that most believers in the body of Christ aren't aware of is that one of the missions of His incarnation was to set His people free from religious bigotry, racism and religious tradition.

One of the earliest examples of racism in modern History (A.D.) actually began with religion. And one of the strongest statements for racial reconciliation was actually spoken by Jesus Christ Himself dealing with religious exploitation in God’s house of prayer in the New Testament in Mark 11:17.

Jesus Christ uttered one the most profound statements about the inclusion of all racial groups in his house of prayer, quoting from Isaiah 56:7, when He said, “My house shall be called of ALL NATIONS the house prayer.” but you made it a den of thieves. The word, “All Nations” is the Greek...
