O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls;
they will pray day and night, continually.
Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.
Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work.
Isaiah 62:6~7 NLT
And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
1 John 5:14-15 NLT
The two passages above form the basis for a prayer strategy we are inaugurating at The Road on February 27th—28th. What we are calling “24 Hour War Room” is a twenty-four-hour prayer emphasis in which we are praying as watchmen on the wall, as prophesied by Isaiah, believing God for mighty answered prayer, as prophesied by John.
The watchmen on the walls around Jerusalem would take their stand on the precipices of the walls surrounding their city and pray for God’s protection and power. We are doing the same thing as we press into the Lord for His moving, His power, and His renewal over our city, the Rockies, and our nation.
Each hour of the day and night, we are praying over what some have called “the seven mountains of influence” in society. On the hour throughout the night, morning, and day, we will worship, contend in the Spirit, and ask God for His kingdom come in these strategic areas of our culture. The seven mountains of influence are: Church, Family/Marriages, Education, Business, Government, Media/Arts/Entertainment, and the Military.
We will have two corporate prayer times during the twenty-four-time frame (8-9pm on Saturday to launch, and 6-8pm on Sunday to conclude). Of the remaining twenty-one hours, choose an hour to pray from Saturday night, February 27th at 9 pm (after The Road worship service) and ending on Sunday night, February 28th at 8pm. Join the members of The Road as we contend, cry out, and worship our Lord for His power over our city, our state, and our nation.
