Come and Pray!

Jesus prayed this for the church: 


'Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which you have given me, that they may be one even as We are'. (John 17:11, NASB) 


We can read the full extent of this particular prayer in John chapter 17.  He prayed for the church in the lead-up to his death, burial, resurrection and ascension, and now that Jesus has overcome the world, our own sin, and the Devil himself, He continually prays for us, as we can see here:

'...who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.' (Romans 8:34, NASB)


And he teaches us, the church, how to pray.  Of course we should always pray at every opportunity, and we in Ichthus London have been taking part in the newly re-formed prayer community which has weekly times on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as a monthly prayer day.  In Ichthus Chislehurst, we are sensing that God is asking us to increase the intensity of prayer.


At the moment, we are hosting weekly evening times called 'Rise Up Together', where people can come together to worship, learn and pray together, and receive help, healing and strengthening for living for God.   For as long as these sessions are in place, we intend to give one of them per month exclusively to worship and prayer.


At the end of this current run of Rise Up Together, Chislehurst congregation will be the prayer focus of the Ichthus Prayer Community, and the dates for these are the Tuesday 13th and Thursday 15th December, at 10am - 2pm and 7 - 8.15pm on both days.  These will take place at the Prayer House, and are open to all who belong to Ichthus congregations.


Up until Christmas initially, the prayer planning team have decided to build in weekly times given over to prayer.  These will happen every Monday morning.  One week they will be early morning from 7 - 7.45, and the next from 9.45 - 11.  Details are on the calendar (click here).  


This coming Sunday (20th Nov) we'll be reflecting on Jesus' prayer for His church in John chapter 17, and we'll be doing some praying too.


Be encouraged to come along on Sunday, and if you're part of the congregation, please do join in with the Rise Up Together evenings and prayer times.
