Overnight Prayer

Yup, It was amazing! We had our overnight prayer last night, which was on the 30th of November, from 10pm till 6am. Wow, it was awesome. I can only give praise to such a crowd of people, who will stand the night and pray for the church.

The biggest crew was the 10pm till midnight. I think somewhat close to 300+ people came. Which was amazing. By midnight, the crowd started dwindling a bit. And by about 6am, there was a little over a 100 people. But it's still a awesome turnout.

There had been 4 watches, and 3 breaks in between. Each watch is 2 hours long. So it's from 10pm-12am, 12am-2am and so on so forth. The breaks lasts 20 minutes. So technically out of the 8 hours, we praised, worshiped and prayed for about 7 hours, and then had 1 hour in total rest.

The encouraging part is always to see your best friends pray alongside with you and pray throughout the night. I wonder if it wasn't after exam period, how many other people from PlanetUni would have hold the night as well. To stand the night, sacrificing sleep for the cause of Christ. Thats the really encouraging part. To see young men and women of Christ, crying out for more for God to make a difference in their life. "No matter the sacrifice, Lord we need more". The mood and the atmosphere was just mind-blowing. Although everyone is aching of tiredness, some of the girls are just really hilarious, because their kneeling down, look like their praying, but I think they've fallen asleep. Hehehe. People all worshiping God and walking around the hall praying in tongues continuously, as the prayer leader in front is praying without ceasing.

I believe tonight would be a night to be remembered. It's the first of many more to come. And tonight we have planted seeds of revival in our church. 2008 would be a year of great harvest. Very very great harvest. And it is continually important on our side to continue planting, praying, and pressing in for the increase, that the Holy Spirit would pour out his spirit with a measure that there is no end upon Planetshakers.

An interesting statistic, we grow by 1000 people a year. Pastor Russell wants us to conquer Telstra Dome. Thats a 100,000 people stadium. It's going to take us 97 years to do that. Melbourne has nearly 4 million people. We don't need all 4 million people to be in our church, but Melbourne needs Jesus. And we are one of the fore-frontiers of leading Melbourne into a revival. We need a multiplication to reach the lost! I need a blood-washed Melbourne!

I to go out into all new territories, invading new realms for God. We need new anointings, powerful fresh anointings that were once lost, we need them now and now again. I want anointings like Smith-Wigglesworth, raising people from the dead, John G Lakes, killing diseases by touch, John Wesley, Preaching so powerful that people get convicted of sin miles and miles away, Semple Amy McPherson, that even down the road, the presence and power of God can be felt, people just in awesome fear knowing that the power of God is present, Kris Volloton & Larry Landolph, calling out peoples destiny and deepest dreams without even knowing them, Cho Yonggi, a million people church!
