South Africa: praying 24-7 above a video store - 28 May 2005
Jill from Durbanville, South Africa, whose group recently ran a 24-7 week above a video store emailed us some of the 'cries of the heart' and prophetic words poured out in the prayer room:
|
"It's raining love and grace and favour from heaven, oh! Durbanville, look up and behold your saviour, oh! Families that know Jesus, as your tank fills up with the heavenly rain water, may the water overflow into the family’s lives next door, next door …. |
 |
|
|
|
...may the drought we have gone through remind us of the drought in many people’s lives. Oh beloved in Durbanvile, help water the famished and dry around us, may we, like Jesus, be able to say, “Abba, not one of those you gave me did I lose.”
|
"No one can grasp the enormity of what you are about to do, no one can contain your thoughts over Durbanville. It is time. It is time for the slumbering bride to rise up. Wake up. Give yourself no rest till your see your salvation, until the glory of the Lord is revealed. For the creation in and around Durbanville is waiting for the true sons of God to be revealed!" |
 "It is time for the slumbering bride to rise up." |

"Change starts with us – God working through us. As Jesus did, so we need to lay down our lives for our friends. As we offer our lives to God to use as He feels, the lives of others will change. As our life is poured out, refreshing, restoration and healing will come to Durbanville. But we need to be a sacrifice. Our life is not our own, but God’s. God is preparing vessels that he is going to use in Durbanville. God will only work through a clean vessel."
|
"As more members of the body of Christ gain deeper understanding that they have been saved for a purpose, I see churches in Durbanville, Bellville, Brakenfell, Kraaifontein etc. growing in relationship. I see churches blessing and appreciating each other. I see men and women of God from different denominations meeting to pray...." |
 "I see churches blessing and appreciating each other." |

"Don’t try to figure out things – we will never know on earth why certain things are and happen the way they do. Be like a child – don’t try to explain things – trust in the Lord. I have stilled my heart like a weaned child with his mother. Freedom only by His Spirit, from the religious spirits of humanism, wealth, pride, fear, purposelessness, apathy, false humility, immorality, impurity, greed, ambition and lust that have infected Durbanville and Cape Town like cancer."
"The luxuries in Durbanville are keeping us from him. There is more to life than material goods, it is like an idol." (a child’s writing)
|
"The grace of God is here. Let’s take hold of it and let us start receiving a kind of love unknown to mankind that it going to change us into the image of God not only for ourselves but for all the lost people in the world so they can see Jesus in us." |
 "Be like a child – don’t try to explain things – trust in the Lord." |

"My people must take up their role, through all that I have accomplished for them, and usher in my kingdom. Day by day, walking and living out those things I have called them to do. Things they can only do in my power and strength, yet not heavy and burdensome as they follow me. Why do things of self when you can do things of My kingdom!! Look closely at what you do. Question what you do and let me fulfill what you are not called to do, that the fullness of the riches of my works can flow through you.
Take a leap of faith, Durbanville, and break out of the cycle (comfort zone) this is the year of breakthrough."
|
Durbanville: Take heed now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it!
Be strong and courageous and do it!! Fear not, be not dismayed, for the Lord God, my God is with you. He will not fail or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord." |
 "Take a leap of faith...." |

"Baie dankie vir die voorreg om saam met julle voor God te mag kniel in gebed. Ons dank en loof die Here vir jul getrouheid, gehoorsaamheid en inspirasie tot eer van Sy Naam. Die Here se seen vir julle."
"God has set me free from the Spirit of religion that has gripped me, isolated me and ruled my life for too long. Through the power of His blood and by His Spirit, I have freedom and life in abundance."
