On March 5, 2006 the people at Hope Missionary Church in Bluffton Indiana began a time of Spirit led 24 hour a day prayer. The goal was to pray for 7 days, but God had other plans.

This past weekend I ended up in the Prayer Room with another prayer warrior, quite by accident, as a result of a computer quirk. God's fingerprints were all over this "quirk". What a wonderful hour spent with a member of our church family I haven't had an opportunity to know in the past. Prayers from that hour have already been answered and I have a new found friend. Praise God for all the little miracles we experience every day!
My 58 year old sister whose name was posted on the 24-7 prayer room walls for a month or so has received Christ as her Lord and Savior. If God can save her He can save anyone. If there was a sin that a human being could do I believe she has done it, most of them numerous times. I honestly didn't think God could save her since she was so hard, cold, and indifferent. Praise God from whom all blesings flow.
Her brother (now I'm her double brother!!!)
I am full of praise for the Lord's great faithfulness to me. I received Christ as Lord and Saviour a number of years ago but whenever I prayed, it always seemed to me that there was a barrier or wall or something that prevented me from feeling really "close" to my heavenly Father.
As the years went by I steadfastly continued to walk close to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but the feeling of closeness I desired with my heavenly Father seemed to escape me.
Then one day several weeks ago after leaving the 24-7 prayer room with the feeling again that I had failed to "make full contact" with the Lord, I prayed to God, "something is wrong Lord; what is it?" The answer was not long in coming. Last week on TV I saw a clip showing a man standing over a woman who was seated on a park bench. He was shouting at her pointing his finger at her and making threatening gestures toward her. The situation was a setup to see if the passing strangers would come to the woman's aid, or ignore them and walk on by. After watching for a few seconds I had a flashback. I was five years old again, and the seated woman was my mother. The man berating her was my father, I relived him beating her.
I was so absolutely shaken I literally burst out in tears and I quickly changed the station. I couldn't shake the terrible feeling I had all day so I spoke to pastor Matt. He suggested writing down everything I remembered about the situation and then instructed me to call him in the morning for an appointment. I did. The power and presence of the Lord was in his office that morning, and when I left an hour later that nagging feeling that something was not quite right was no longer there. The next morning when I arose I prayed "good morning heavenly Father, and it hit me. That old wall of seperation between my heavenly Father and myself had fallen down like the walls of Jericho. Praise the Lord.
