Why 24/7 Prayer and Worship?
Jesus said the harvest is plentiful, so his disciples should pray to the lord of the harvest to send out laborers. Traditionally the Church throughout history has sent out missionaries to preach the gospel without first encountering the heart of God through a lifestyle of prayer with fasting. When our hearts deeply experience the love of God in the place if worship and intercession, we are strengthened and empowered to give ourselves to the labor of the work of the kingdom with greater diligence and authority.
24/7 worship and prayer changes the spiritual atmosphere of the city, thus opening the heavens for more anointed evangelism and unity in the church. This also allows for encountering God in a personal way the transforms us by intimacy with Jesus. We believe that the Holy Spirit is orchestrating a global prayer strategy far eclipsing any other prayer movement in history resulting in an unprecedented harvest of souls in the nations
The Salem House of Prayer is only one of many expressions of this prayer movement in the city and across the Earth today. Ministries are arising all over the world that are literally offering supplication night and day before the Lord, helping the work of the harvest to go forth with power and effectiveness. In cities throughout the world, we believe it will become common to hear of worship and prayer ministries that continue non-stop 24 hours a day in the spirit of the tabernacle of David.
