Prayer Tours in Every City
A Prayer Tour can be done just by driving any vehicle
through a city for an hour or so when traffic is light, such as
Sunday morning before church, with a team of at least three
to four praying believers on-board who will pray over that city,
using the main government buildings and other symbols as
reminders to pray for that city, our nation and world.
Like Washington, D.C. every city has visual symbols of the
government-Local, State and Federal. For example, City Hall,
the County or Federal Buildings, Courthouses, Army Reserve
or National Guard Posts, Police Departments, Prisons, Jails,
School Boards, Newspaper Offices, TV or Radio Stations,
Abortion Clinics, Pornography Shops, Chamber of Commerce
Offices, Banks and Major Industries.
IT'S HARD TO FORGET TO PRAY for your city and leaders if
you'll go look at their offices on a weekly basis! It's easier to
remember to pray for our military forces around the world
when driving past an Army Reserve or National Guard base!
The same is true for schools, media and all the other issues
mentioned above.
The prayer tour in a vehicle driving through any city provides
a COMFORTABLE, CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT and a
SYSTEMATIC LIST OF PASSING VISUAL PRAYER
REMINDERS. An organized rotation keeps weekly prayer
going, once you find a schedule that people are willing to
sustain, and a system of reminders.
Our weekly prayer alerts and Prayer Handbook (click above
on "PRODUCTS AND SERVICES") are especially useful as
one is led by the Holy Spirit in praying God's Word over the
economy, for the Military, for the Media, for our Leaders, etc.,
including "Psalm 91 for America." (Click above on "CURRENT
PRAYER ALERTS"-- Psalm 91 for America is at the end of
those alerts, along with a response to the September 11, 2001
attacks on America.)
PRAISE AND WORSHIP, especially regarding THE BLOOD OF
JESUS, is also a big part of our Prayer Tours, as led by the
Holy Spirit!
In our local Washington, D.C. area church described above,
volunteers are rotated weekly so that no one is asked to go
more than once every month; however, some space is
usually available for those who want to go more often, with
a reservation required to guarantee space.
The prayer tour participant rotation schedule can be mailed
out or published in a weekly church bulletin, and as
necessary, participants can receive a phone call a day before
as a reminder.
Although child care is provided for our main church service
each Sunday, no childcare is provided for our prayer tours.
However, school age children enjoy this unique and exciting
prayer experience, and children of all ages are welcome to
come on the prayer tours with their parents!
With this kind of organization and effort, Victory World
Outreach Church in the Washington, D.C. area has been able
to sustain a 95% participation rate in this prayer tour program
for almost two decades, keeping Washington, D.C. saturated in
prayer! All Glory to God!!!
Weekly Sunday morning prayer tours could be conducted as a
Sunday School option by churches in every city in the world,
as a tool to help the body of Christ be diligent in prayer, so that
God can keep America and all the nations saturated in prayer in
this critical endtime hour, especially now with the current war on terrorism!
This is how the government can be upon Jesus' shoulders
(Isaiah 9:6)--His people in His body the church (Ep.1:22-23)
allow Him to pray through them, as His Holy Spirit brings His
Word to our remembrance (Jo.14:26) as a sword of the Spirit
taken praying always (Ep.6:17-18), so that the Lord can lift up
His standard of truth in our streets, homes, schools,
businesses and halls of government (Is.59:14-21).
His Truth is Marching On! Jesus is Lord! The Kingdoms of
this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever! (Rev. 11:15)
Come quickly Lord Jesus! (Rev. 22:20)
