Prayer Season 2024 – 18th-20th January
Thank you to all that joined us for Prayer Encounter 2024 – it was amazing to see so many people gather & we had over 200 sign ups (with many more coming through our doors) – and the feedback that you felt the presence of God was very impactful. Keep being faithful and praying throughout the year. Remember, to seek and look to HIM.
Outline
A new year is a new season. It affords much in reflection and hope. However, the first few days of the new year are mostly hyped and then left ungrounded. The rest of January can become drudgery, down beat and a struggle. Most statistics of depression, divorce, suicide, etc hit a peak 2 to 3 weeks into the period. Therefore, to hold prayer as a corporate focus takes the spiritual battle to the enemy, brings light to darkness and allows God’s people to look to HIM. As a result, we set Prayer at this time to maximise and optimise our faith.
Theme
Our prophetic theme for 2024 will be: ’The Plan. There is only a plan ‘A’. What is God saying for Renewal in 2024? God’s plan is revealed through the church. How does that look in 2024? The book of Ephesians declares God’s purpose in all is to use the church to display his wisdom, in all of its rich variety, to the unseen rulers and authorities in heavenly places, in our local reach and all across planet Earth. Paul gives us a picture of a broken world remade, where everything is made new under Christ; humanity, our relationships, our understanding and the ‘body’ we are a part of.
There are key prayers in Ephesians that we will harness for our season of Prayer.
