SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER
The Disciplesâ Prayer⌠âThey all met continually for prayer. âActs 1:14
Prayer was a huge part of the early disciples becoming âThe Word made fleshâ. The disciples prayed with intensity and persistence, they understood the reality of prayer, the answers were coming, even though there could be some delays along the way.
As believers here at Downtown Church we also have opportunities to unite together in prayer. One weekly meeting is at 10:00 to 11:00 AM on Thursdays in the Prayer Room (#112). We call it âThe Sweet Hour of Prayerâ.
Even if you cannot join us in person weekly, you can pray from where God has you working and serving. If you have requests on your heart please let me know and we will pray knowing you are also praying too. As believers we may also unite as one in presenting our requests, even though we cannot be together in one place. Just as the disciples did, we can claim the promise that we, too, will be filled with the Holy Spirit. (John 16:7).
