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)
