Prayer at the New Bern Mall

Last Saturday, our Chairman, Rick Hopkins, helped to inspire a 'flash mob' for prayer at the New Bern Mall.  Here is a posting by Rick:

Prayer at the mall.

By Rick.

This morning our pastor and several other pastors and christians from around the area gathered at the New Bern mall to pray for the upcoming City Wide Crusade coming March 14th-16th.

Please join us as christians and churches unite to seek a revival and a return to God and His commandments in this great land.

Here is a copy of the prayer we prayed.

Almighty God creator of the heavens and the universe and all things within, you have promised that where two or more are gathered together in Thy name You will be in the midst of them and Bless them. Today Father we gather in Your name beseeching Your blessings upon the upcoming citywide crusade to be held here next month. We ask Lord that you would bind Satan from all attempts to impede and prevent the success of this crusade to win the lost to you. We further ask Father that you would loose your Holy Spirit upon this community and draw your people into service in preparation for this event.

Father God we ask that you would bring a deep conviction of sin, spiritual brokenness, a holy fear of God and genuine repentance among His people.

Father we Pray for deep cleansing, genuine repentance, and spiritual power to engulf pastors and Christian leaders.

We ask you Father to bestow spiritual hunger in His people and draw them to ferventintercession.

We ask Lord that you will bring loving unity in our churches and a deep harmony between our churches.

We ask you Father to fill Your people with a passion to see people saved.

We pray God for You to give Your people a passion for missions and starting churches.

We pray that You Father God will call thousands into ministry, missions and Christian service.

We pray that You will pour out Your Holy Spirit like a mighty purifying flood.

We pray for a mighty move of conviction and salvation upon communities of cultural influence.

God pour out Your Spirit like never before that souls will be saved and drawn to thy service and that our land might be saved and returned to Thy graces to once more be that shining example to the world.

In the Holy and Precious name of Jesus we pray.

Amen
We then sang Amazing Grace. Praise God!
