Feb 4 : Prayer for Campuses @ the Lighthouse
College students came together this night to life up our generation that is lost, broken, hurting, and in desperate need of Jesus. The night began with quite worship to prepare our hearts.
We broke off into groups and prayer through the ACTS model.
Adoration - Let's be a generation that draws near to God, that comes to know His characteristics so that we can testify to younger generation. Praise Him for who He is. "I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise. His greatness no one can fathom! One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty." Psalm 145
Confession - Confessions were made for the sins of our generation. "Search me, O God, and konw my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139
Thanksgiving - We all turned towards the middle and shared testimonies. One painted a beautiful pictures, "Lately, I've realized how I have been holding God at a distance. I've tried to do life on my own while keeping God at arms length, rejecting the help, joy and life that He has to offer. He has spoken to me, 'My child, put your stiff arm down and let me in.'"
Supplication - We corporately lifted up the 56 college campuses and universities of the Twin Cities. A blank canvas that lay in the middle of our circle slowly filled up with each campus name as prayer continued. To finish, a large cross was painted over the middle, symbolizing Jesus's grace and salvation for each campus.
"Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience. Let us hold unsweringly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as we see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10
