It's been 100 years since the last 11.11.11 - So you could say this is a special date just because of that fact. Well it also seems that there are people around the world gathering for 24 hours to pray, worship, and seek the face of the Lord!
November 11, 2011 is going to be a unique time for the city of Denver and Colorado. We know that God wants to gather people for this time...."SO THAT..." So that people might gather to seek the face of the Lord and to invite others to know Him - So that there can be a spiritual awakening in the city of Denver and Colorado - So that.... fill in the blank. What has he put on your heart? What are you on your face in prayer for? Join with people from cities across the front range for this purpose!
You are invited to Love Reigns!
11.11.11, 11am Friday - 11am Saturday .
Location: 30th and Vallejo st. Denver
(The Sanctuary Church)
Here is the inspiration:
“This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, and the inhabitants of one city will go to another and say, ʻLet us go at once to entreat the LORD and
seek the LORD Almighty. I myself am going.ʼ And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD Almighty and to entreat him” (Zechariah 8:20-22).
In 1748 Jonathan Edwards called for “Concerts of Prayer” based on the above passage. Edwardʼs lengthy sermon title, in keeping with 18th century fashion, summarizes Zechariahʼs vision for any prayer movement: “A Humble attempt to promote the agreement and union of Godʼs people throughout the world in extraordinary prayer for revival and the advancement of Godʼs Kingdom on earth, according to Scriptural promises and prophecies of the last time.”
Four Key Ingredients of Any Prayer Movement
First: the prophet Zechariah called for a spirit of hope and urgency to prevail. The remnant was told to quit fasting and start feasting in celebration and anticipation of how God would act on their behalf (v. 19).
Second: he called for continual prayer with the correct agenda (right heart motive). They were to “seek the Lord” which translates in the Hebrew to literally ʻseek the face of the Lord.ʼ
Third: they were to encourage one another to join in prayer one city shall go to another (v. 21) – as Godʼs people united for the work of prayer for revival.
Fourth: They were to expect an impact through their prayers, so that many would come to seek Godʼs manifest presence in their lives as He moved among His own.
Such developments are to be expected in this and any generation, as prayer movements awaken the church to seek God.
