 Okay. Welcome everyone. Good morning. Hope you're all doing well. Glad you joined the class today. Let's play and we will get into today's lesson. I would like to request any one of us to please lead in prayer. Okay, Pivya, would you be able to lead us please? Sure. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father, for this time that you've given us, Father. Once again, Lord, this week, Lord, to learn, Father, on prayer and intercession, Father. Thank you, Lord. I pray, Father, that at this time may you reveal, Father, what's on your heart, Father, to us so that you may know, Father, how to really, Father, use those principles, Father, Lord, to really pray in a manner that is according to your will, Father, Lord, that is aligned to your heart, Father, Lord. Thank you and praise you, Father, for Bastian Nancy. Thank you, Father, for all the resources, Lord, the course material and all the provisions, Father, the technology and all the Father provision that you have made for us. I pray, Lord, that your presence are bound throughout the session. I pray, Father, that let there not be any technical difficulties or obstacles, Father. I pray for all those who are attending and all those who are planning to attend, Father, Lord, later on. I pray, Father, that you continue to speak to our hearts, Father, and give us the readiness and willingness to obey you, Lord. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Vivian. So in the last class, we talked about small group prayers and praying with other believers and the power of agreement. We said that in the Book of Acts, we find that this manner of praying together, it was common practice and the results were tremendous. So there is a huge place for praying together and today we will talk about prayer in the life of the local church community. So in order for us to do this, we will look at some passages in the Old Testament and how God has promised that we are going to see the arising of the prayer movement among us and also we will look at some of these movements in church history. That gives us a better understanding of what God is actually talking about. So prayer in the local church community must be something that is given priority and when the church community begins to seek God through prayer, we understand that the relationship with God is established and also it will bring about certain maturity in the community itself. Now scriptures encourage us or they show us like when we look at God's instructions in the Old Testament, that kind of puts light on what God meant for prayer to be. One particular passage is from 11th to 6th and verse 13 where God had commanded for the fire to remain on the altar. So this is in the setup of the tabernacle. God told that there must always be fire on the altar. So in other words if you compare this with the manner in which worship and intercession is going on in the presence of God or when I say intercession is going on, we know that our intercession goes up to heaven. We have already seen that it is like incense in the presence of God. So God wants that to be there perpetually or continuously. So the fire on the altar in other words our prayer, our worship and our intercession should be continuous in God's presence. So we must never stop providing the sacrifice on the altar because for fire to remain on the altar what is one of the ways in which God would send the fire in the Old Testament usually when there is a sacrifice or an acceptable sacrifice that's when God's fire would come and consume it, isn't it? So in the same way when our sacrifices are to the Lord which would be through our praise, through our life, through our prayers when our sacrifices are made before the Lord, his fire will be provided continuously or his presence will also be given to us. So we must ensure as a church community and as a community of God's people not just a local church but the larger unit of God's people in a city or even in a region that we have place for intercession and prayer and even in a continual manner so that we can see all that God has promised and we can experience all that God is pouring out on us. Now if we look back a little more in the Old Testament there is the tabernacle of David which is spoken about when the natural tabernacle was set up God commanded that the fire should not go out on the altar. So that is one thing. Now just in line with that it is as if David understood the spiritual meaning of what God had done in the natural tabernacle. So we see that David set up a tabernacle later on for God and in the tabernacle he instituted a certain kind of worship. Now I don't know if you are familiar with this tabernacle of David but I will introduce it here to us and throughout our course even as we go forward with other courses you would have this spoken about to believe insights relevant to the courses that you are going to study later on. So let me just introduce this tabernacle of David. Tabernacle of David was a place where it is called the tabernacle because it is a tent. So he set up a tent in his city and in this tent David brought the Ark of the Covenant and he asked for worshippers. Who are these worshippers? There are singers, there were musicians who were specially allocated the responsibility to see God continually in that tent. So he told them, he assigned them to be there and we study that this kind of a ministry to God went on for about 33 years in that tabernacle. So David set it up. So what is the speciality of this tabernacle that he set up? So he wanted people to minister to God day and night. So 1 Chronicles 15 verses 1 through 17 we read about this form of worship and then again verse 27 we read about it where what David instituted was such that people would sing to the Lord, people would engage in intercession and prayer 24 by 7. So that was one of the reasons why he also had a large number of people appointed for ministry in that particular tent. So they would take turns. So there are many other passages that talk about this order of worship that he established. I don't remember the numbers exactly but something like 288 singers, he had instrumentalists. He also had gatekeepers or people who would control the order in that case of worship and they would take turns. So you would have batches of worship leaders come in and worship the Lord, batches of intercessors. So they will take turns and this kind of prayer worship pattern went on for about 33 years. And what is the speciality of David's tabernacle? It was very impressive to God because it was a form of extravagant worship that David poured out on God. Before the tabernacle of David, we do see people ministering unto the Lord but not in such a continuous way. And the way he had, and the whole thing, he made sure that he had the best singers, he had the best vocal, instrumentalists. He had the best people to take care of God's worship. So all of this really touched God's heart. And also it was an orderly worship unless he had planned it out well, the batches of worshipers could not keep carrying on for 33 years. So it was extravagant, it was orderly and it was a worship which was very close to God's heart. And it went on day and night and God was really blessed with it. God was really pleased with it. This form of worship was something that David started or he initiated it. But later on we do see that there were other kings who adopted the same form of worship. So you had Solomon who instructed the people to conduct worship in accordance to the Davidic pattern or the Davidic order of worship we call it. So he also followed the same pattern. Similarly, you had certain other rulers like Jehoshaphat who also said, okay we will follow this whole worshipping God and praising God and interceding to God. And Jehoshaphat we know that he experienced a mighty victory against his enemies when they went forward in worship. You had things like Joash established the Davidic order of worship, Hezekiah, Josiah, Ezra. And what really happened when they followed the same pattern as David? Day and night prayer, day and night worship, what happened? We read that these rulers or kings they experienced some tremendous breakthroughs. They experienced spiritual breakthroughs, they experienced deliverance, they experienced military victory. So there was a lot of positive impact that came out of seeking God in this continuous fashion. Now I've already shared with us that one thing is the results of this form of worship. But the other thing is how it touched God's heart. So God blessed the people and God wanted this kind of worship to keep continuing on. So there is a reference, we see this in Acts chapter 15 when James the 10th leader or the overseer of the church stood up and spoke in the matter of solving the issue about whether Gentiles have to follow Jewish traditions or not. So then the council, the leaders of the church, they were discussing what kind of rules to apply to the Gentiles. The traditions of the Jews need to be followed by the Gentiles to keep their salvation. So in those matters when they were discussing, James spoke up for the Gentiles. And one of the ways in which he spoke for the Gentiles is by reminding the leaders that look, this pattern of the Gentiles following God, it's nothing new. In fact, we had Amos a prophet who had prophesied that when the Tabernacle of David will be redeemed, God is going to even draw Gentiles to himself. So basically James quotes from the prophecy of Amos. This is from Amos chapter 9 where Amos talks about the Tabernacle of David. So I'll just tell you what James says. So in Acts 15, it is in our notes. I'm going through our notes only. So page 86, the top of page 86, Acts 15 verses 13 to 18 is given for us verse 16. It says, after this, I will return and will rebuild the Tabernacle of David which has fallen down. I will rebuild its ruins and I will set it up so that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord. Even all the Gentiles who are called by my name says the Lord who does all these things. So the highlight, I've just highlighted two verses in this passage here. You see that James is reminding the leaders that Gentiles are going to come. Even all the Gentiles who are called by my name says the Lord who does all these things. So God is going to bring back the Gentiles. But before he brings the Gentiles, what is it that God also promised through the prophecy of Amos? He said, I will rebuild what? The Tabernacle of David. So what is the Tabernacle of David? Is God going to have tents all over the world? Similar to bringing in the Ark of the Covenant and appointing musicians and all that. Is it going to replicate the structure that David once built? Is that what God means? In a spiritual sense, we see that Amos was prophesying and saying this form of seeking God through worship, through prayer and intercession. God is going to rebuild that. Whenever we see God's promises, the fulfillment of these promises tends to take place normally in the spiritual Zion, which is the church. Later on, we would see that certain promises are fulfilled more literally among Israel or the nation of Israel, the people of God. So God is talking about a spiritual fulfillment of this nature or the order or the type of worship that David instituted. God was so impressed by it that he did not want that to be gone. So he wanted to bring it back. So he said, I want to bring back or in other words rebuild this form of extravagant orderly worship as well as prayer and intercession. And as a result, when I rebuild this form of spiritual worship, prayer and intercession. And another thing to note is it was continuous. In line with what we saw God speak in Leviticus chapter 16 verse 3 where God said there should be fire on the altar continuously. So continuously when there is prayer, continuously when there is worship, God talks about the results of that. One of the results is that Leviticus 6 verse 13, I said verse 3. So I correct myself Leviticus 6 verse 13. So as a result of setting up the spiritual worship and the spiritual prayer and intercession, we will see that there will be a harvest. So when you're talking about mankind may seek the Lord, Gentiles will come. What is it referring to? It is referring to people being saved. It is referring to many coming into the kingdom of God. So there is going to be an effect on the harvest in these, if you want to call it the last days, the end times. Where God is going to draw people to himself, one of the ways in which he will do it is through the rebuilding of the tabernacle of David. Extravagant, orderly, continuous worship as well as prayer and intercession. So that is the promise which we have from the prophet Amos and James spoke about that in his speech. So God is all passionate and he's getting ready to rebuild the tabernacle of David. Let me ask one of us to read what prophet Amos spoke. This is in Amos chapter 9 verses 11 through 13. Could somebody please read that passage for us? Amos 9, 11 through 13. On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David which has fallen down and repaired its damages. I will raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old. That they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the Gentiles were called by my name. Who does this thing? Behold the days are coming, says the Lord. When the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the trader of grapes, him who sow seed. The mountain shall drip with sweet wine and all the hills shall flow with it. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. So you see here, basically God is saying that what had stopped after David's rule and reign, it shall be raised up again. I will raise up the tabernacle of David which has fallen down and repaired its damages. So he will ensure in the spiritual that this form of worship is restored. And then once it is restored, says they may possess the remnant of Edom. Edom is also a type of the people who are away from God. So those people will come to God. It says all the Gentiles who are called by my name, again Gentiles referring to those who are not of God but who will turn to God and God is saying that he is going to bring these people back to himself. And just to reiterate what he just said verse 30. He says plowman shall overtake the reaper and the trader of grapes, him who sows the seed. The mountain shall drip with sweet wine and all the hills shall flow with it. So plowman shall overtake the reaper is kind of a reference to say that there will be so much of harvest. There will be like plenty of harvest. It's not going to be like season to season like the plowman will finish his job and then the reaping will be done and the reaping will be complete and then the plowman will come and put the seed. So it won't be like that but it's almost like the seasons will kind of crisscross overlap because there is so much of harvest that one is not able to gather it all up in one season. So in that way there is going to be a mighty coming in of the souls into the kingdom of God. But what is the requirement for that? The raising of the tabernacle of David. So it's like us engaging in that 24 bar 7 praise, worship, prayer, intercession. So we will talk a lot more about 24 bar 7 praise and worship in other places. But since this course is more about prayer and intercession, I'm trying to focus more on prayer and intercession. But please know that praise and worship is also a huge part of this form of worship. So what can we expect out of what we have learned just now? We can expect that God is raising up people around the world, people, churches, ministries, teams who are engaging in this form of continuous intercession or continuous praise and worship. And some of us we probably are part of those ministries. Some of us we have seen such ministries. But as the days go by, we are only going to see God raising up, rebuilding the tabernacle of David in a spiritual sense among us. And we must let that happen. So that is what we take with us. And also when we are engaging in this form of prayer and intercession, we can expect our ministries to be fruitful in that people will turn to God in a more, if I may use the term easier way. Of course, we preach the gospel and we do our part of doing our part as a minister to bring people into the kingdom. But when we are engaging with God and ministering to God, there is an acceleration or there is a speeding up of bringing souls into the kingdom of God. So there are results, there are spiritual results for engaging in 24 bar 7 prayer and intercession. So that is what we take away from what we are learning about the tabernacle of David. Now just looking back into history, there are certain movements of prayer that have yielded powerful results and it has impacted the communities of people who live during that time. So we will study about them for us to be inspired that as a generation of God that is living today and as a generation that would desire the rebuilding of this form of prayer and intercession, what are the things that we can expect to happen around us. So one example here in our notes is in 480, it talks about a person called Alexander Akimates and his followers were known as sleepless ones. So this person Alexander, he was a monk himself and he gathered about 300 to 400 monks and he went by a scripture in the New Testament. In the book Thessalonians 5 verse 17 it says, pray without seizing and he wanted to live that scripture. So what did he do? He gathered these people at a given place and over there they would pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray like continuously. So he encouraged people to practice this form of continuous prayer and intercession and they were the first ones to be known as people who engaged in 24 bar 7 prayer. Maybe there were others as well but we have the record of Alexander Akimates and also they engaged in prayer to such an extent that they came to be known as the sleepless ones because they were praying even in the night. So that is the example of Alexander Akimates and it inspires us in knowing that he actually thought that he could live out that passage which says pray without seizing and he did it. So that is Alexander Akimates that we have a record of the Moravians and I am sure you have heard about it and you will continue to hear about the Moravians quite repeatedly in a couple of other courses as well. So the Moravians, what do we see in their community? So the Moravian community in Hernaud, it was a community which an influential man, his name is Kaun Zindzendorf, he had a space in Moravia. I won't go into the details of it. So he had a place and the simplest explanation is that there were refugees from a certain place who could not find shelter. So this noble man Zindzendorf, he said you come to my Hernaud space, you all can stay there and you will have a refuge. So basically he was housing refugees. At that time this was in 1727 and when he was housing refugees it so happened that there were people from different backgrounds who came to find shelter there. But he began to notice that they did not have peace among themselves. There was always some or the other issue argument and he didn't like that. He being a good man and a godly person, he wanted peace in the community. So what he did is he introduced chapel services, he introduced some form of worship of God in that community and they had planned that every two weeks or something, some such schedule they had, everyone gather, we will spend time in God's word, prayer and all that. So in that way then they were regularly gathering and he was really trying to address this issue of disunity among the people. One particular service, God's presence was very special among them and apparently it was a service where they broke bread and they had communion and all. So when he realized that there was something special about the service, he did not want to let it go and he really wanted to follow God in what God was impressing on his heart. So he felt why not we start prayer from today onwards, from that service onwards and he just gave an invitation to the community members and said, I felt like God did something special in this service. Let's continue in his presence by prayer and intercession. So he said how many of you can sign up for prayer? I want 24 men and 24 women to sign up. 24 men and 24 women gave their commitment and then something called as the chain prayer. It started for one hour, 24, why 24? Because 24 hours in a day. So he wanted somebody to come into every hour of prayer. So the chain prayer started in that service, rather after that service. Around the clock, so prayer was happening. But the beautiful thing about this Moravian, some people also call it Moravian revival, the chain prayer did not stop for a hundred years. Can you believe it? Because people were signing up and signing up and signing up and signing up and signing up for a hundred years. So that is the story about the Moravian revival. God's spirit worked in such a way in the hearts of the people that the Moravian revival, it was a hundred year long prayer meeting. And what can you expect when people are praying for a hundred years, person after person, person after person. And imagine they did not even have our technology today. We schedule, we have, we use Google, there is that the pages in their own normal simple way, they are scheduling one another and praying. But the result of the Moravian prayer movement, some like to call it prayer movement revival, whatever, what is the result? Apparently the missionary zeal among the people of the herd head community was so incredible that they couldn't compare it with anywhere else. And missionary movement started out of this prayer movement. So what began happening? You saw that people were signing up for missions. To what extent? You believe that there were people who were even willing to sell themselves to slavery to go to a particular country or to be a part of a certain region so that they could share the gospel. So that was the missionary zeal to fulfill the great commission that started to emerge among people of the herd head community. And when you study all the missionary zeal and all that, apparently till that time the ratio of missionaries to a given population was one is to 5,000. So every 5,000 population had one missionary going and reaching out to them. But later on people write that in the regions where these missionaries went, the ratio came up to 1 is to 60. Meaning for every 60 people there was a missionary. So so many missionaries started going out and in fact by 1776 226 missionaries had been sent out from the very community itself, the herd head community. So something marvelous God was doing out of the community and in the region because of this prayer movement. And to read accounts of others, there are people like John Wesley who talk about the impact that the Moravians and their missionary mindset had on him. So it had an impact on John Wesley and even somebody like William Carey. William Carey is we call him the father of modern missions and he came to India and there is so much that you read about William Carey. The impact that he made, he was influenced by the teachings of the Moravians as well. So we see that there was a genuine move, a missionary zeal that God birthed out of the Moravian prayer movement. It's just to encourage us that you know that God, that's what God said, right? He said that when I rebuild, raise up the tabernacle of David, then what will happen? You know the gentiles will come, the remnant of Edom. Then we saw how there's going to be this tremendous harvest that there will be. The harvest, you would finish the season of gathering the harvest that the sower will still have to continue his work because the harvest is plentiful. But all that is a result of the fire beyond the altar, continuously or praise, worship. We have certain ministries that do engage in praise and worship and many of you will be aware of such ministries in your own cities. But also prayer and intercession, continuous prayer and intercession. And you see the results here. Moravians saw an incredible, incredible impact of the prayer movement. Now the next example here in our notes is that of the prayer mountain in Seoul, Korea. This was initiated by the ministry of Pastor David Yongecho who leads the Yoido Full Gospel Assembly. And what basically happened is they designated a mountain as a place where people could go to spend extended hours in prayer and intercession. So once this was selected and kind of set aside, it started attracting visitors from the city and outside the city. So people would go there, they would spend time in retreats, they have provided some prayer cells and rooms for prayers. So apparently, you know, over a million visitors, it is recorded that even over a million visitors have come there in a given year to do what? To pray, to worship, to sing. So I mean there's not too much written here in our notes but you know you could kind of just look it up and it's quite incredible. Apparently, when people pray on that mountain, those who are going by, right, close by, they can hear the screams, the wails, the worship, you know, the... So basically like even the noises or the sound of the mountain can be heard around because there are those many people praying on that mountain. And also, you know, when you read the testimonies that Dr. Cho gives, he says a lot of what has happened in his ministry is because of giving to... spending time in prayer, spending time in intercession. And he talks about how engaging in this form of not just prayer as in praying for others but also spiritual warfare. And engaging in things like this has made a difference in the spiritual atmosphere of the city and the nation of South Korea. And I know he talks about how people have come to know Jesus, accepted Jesus in a speedy way, in an accelerated way. And he attributes that to the prayer movements that they have as part of the church and as part of the ministry. You know, over here, a prayer mountain is something that we talk about. I don't know if I mentioned to you earlier, you know, Dr. Cho, he also shares how 4 a.m. in the morning, they have this practice of the church gathering for prayer and intercession. So I don't know, you know, many churches that can do that, maybe for practical reasons, you know, they're not able to gather. But apparently, you know, his church would do that. And he also shares some jokes about once, you know, he slept and he slept through, you know, like around Polish, he was still asleep. And his mother-in-law called up and said, like, son, where are you? And come quickly, the meeting is starting. So the reason he had to go to the meeting is because he's the pastor, right? And he has to leave the meeting. So he just jumped out of the bed and he was so tense that, you know, no, I slept through this time and he ran. And he started leading the prayer time to realize that he was in his pajamas. Okay, he forgot to change. So, you know, he shares all of these funny stories. But the thing is, he talks about how that was a daily thing, that was a commitment for that church. So the point I'm trying to make is the investment that they made in prayer and, you know, the results that the, as a ministry, they share the results that they have seen. A lot of people have, the God's work has been done very powerfully across that city and that country. So that's the bottom line. Okay, it's not to praise any ministry or anything as we have to be discerning. But at the same time, we cannot disregard the outcome of prayer, the outcome of engaging in the right things in the ministry. So, you know, we take that lesson with us when we engage in prayer movements. They will yield the result because God has promised, right? He said, if you rebuild the tabernacle, then I will cause this to happen. There will be a mighty harvest, the Gentiles will come. So through this prayer mountain, do they share that they have seen God do that? And okay, there is the other account here about the International House of Prayer. This is in Kansas City and a lot of us are quite well aware of the IHOP. Okay, it's also known as IHOP, okay, of Kansas City where prayer and worship goes on 24 by 7. And they have tried to follow the pattern, the Davidic order, the tabernacle of David, you know, that form of worship. Because what is the specialty of that worship? The specialty of that worship, day and night, day and night prayer. So they have instituted that and apparently it began on the 19th of September 1999. And we know that till today, the prayer continues, the worship continues. And the way they have formed this ministry is that they have people who are paid to take charge of these prayer sessions. As in, you know, in the ministry, full-time ministry, when one is in full-time ministry, they are paid, okay. And there are those who are volunteers as well, who have committed time for certain slots and they come in. And in that way, they have kept this prayer going. And I would also say that, you know, it's not so easy for people to keep something like this going. But I'm sure it's God's spirit working in them that has helped them to keep this day and night intercession worship going on. Now, what are the results of this form of worship? Now, this form of worship has brought about several testimonies and I will quickly end this. It is there in our notes. I will just quickly end this, some of them for us so that we are aware. So they talk about outreaches that have started from their ministry. These outreaches, there is an inner-city outreach where a mobile food truck is sent out and on-site food distribution takes place. There are discipleship programs which have, which are born out of, you know, this prayer movement. There's health clinic, there's provision for food, clothing, for children. There are programs where, you know, children are helped. And there are programs where children are, there's something called Big Sister and Big Brother program. I don't know all the details of that. Then there is an adopt a block program that has been crisis response ministry that was started. Often justice center was started. There's something called Hannah's Dream which is an adoption agency. Exodus cry for the victims of human trafficking. So, you know, all these are out of the nature of God. And God is doing a powerful work in the community because there are people who are engaging. The list goes on. You know, I didn't read all of it for us. But what I'm trying to say, I'm just trying to say that when we obey what God wants us to do, there are results. We saw how the Moravians, we saw powerful missionary zeal among them. We saw the saving of so many souls in Korea because of this prayer movement that they engaged in. Now IHOP shares all the things that God has done among them, you know, because they're engaging in this form of prayer and intercession. And also, one of the amazing things about IHOP is that they have something called the Night Watch. You know, there's a passage in the Bible which says, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who by night stand in the house of the Lord. So who by night stand in the house of the Lord. So they have gone by this passage and God's encouragement for 24 bar 7 intercession and prayer. And they have people who have committed to live their lives for the Night Watch. So there are people who have changed their entire daily schedule. Okay. And, you know, they rest through the day as much as possible and then they go and do these night sessions. So that is their ministry. They've even made a change in their daily schedule so that there are Night Watch people who are continuing the worship. So it doesn't end in the night. So, you know, that's the kind of commitment that this ministry has. And people have even signed up part-time, full-time workers have signed up young people, married people, people in different stages of their life to keep the prayer going. In the daytime as well as in the night time. So that's a little bit about how this 24 bar 7 intercession and prayer is scriptural and God is going to, you know, make this happen even more in our times. And we are going to see more of this. And it's a good thing to see more of this because when we engage in this, we will see the results as well that God has promised. So I'm just going to pause here. If there's something more you want to add to it or, you know, anything that you want to ask, I think it would be nice to do that. So the time is open for us. Please feel free to ask your questions or make your comments. I'm hoping that it's quite clear and yeah, maybe you are aware of such ministries around you or you yourself are part of it. Yeah, so anyone who's already a part of something like this day and night prayer day and night worship or you've seen something like this. So passing Bangalore, as you know, there's this organization called Face to Face Foundation. So they have extended hours of worship. So I used to be part of one of the sessions to sing along with the guys. So they usually give slots to each team. So we used to take slots for either one and a half hours or two hours to worship the Lord together. And so in Bangalore, it happens for this year, it is happening for two days. So it's like 48 hours. But I think last time and all it went on to 100 hours of time worship. So people from different churches across the city and sometimes across the nation also they would come together to worship the Lord together. Wow, amazing, amazing job. I don't think this has been happening for many years now, no? Yes, so it started in 2015, it's like seven, eight years I think now. Seven, six, seven years now. Wonderful, yeah. So that's exactly what we're talking about, you know, the continuous and orderly form of prayer and worship as well as intercession. Thank you, John. Thank you for sharing. Would anyone else be aware of a similar ministry in your city, in your country? Maybe you're not aware, this is a good thing to research and see if there are any such ministries out there. Okay, and yeah, Divya says, I hope, yeah, I hope in the US. That's right. And you know, as much as I can observe, I think though I don't know too many ministries that are doing it day and night. I can see a lot of ministries and groups of, you know, like worship teams engaging in extended hours of worship. Okay, so we sort of headed there is what I would say. And it's incredible to see the passion to worship the Lord for so many hours. People just gather together and worship. You know, in recent times, also all the songs that have come, the prophetic songs that have come by groups worshipping the Lord like this. I know it's so beautiful. And I believe that, you know, we are going to see that if you are somebody who's in a position of leadership in your church, local community, you could encourage and people have that zeal and passion. You could encourage, you could guide them in line with what you see here about the tabernacle of day. So let's close that if there are no questions. I just want to ask somebody to pray that, you know, God would do this in our midst. God would revive us to this form of, you know, Davidic order of worship and intercession. So if someone can please lead and pray, that'll be good. Okay, maybe I'll ask John. John, if you don't mind, could you please pray? Father, we want to thank you for the awesome time you have given us to learn from your work regarding the importance of prayer and intercession of God. Thank you for reminding us that you will pour out your spirit even as we earnestly desire to rebuild the tabernacle of David among us Lord Jesus, we pray. And God, we ask that you would experience you in a special way these days of God even as we dedicate our time to worship and to pray and to seek your face, Master Lord. We also pray that each one of us will have a heart to serve you in worship and to serve you in session and to serve the people in prayer. Oh God, we thank you Lord Jesus, we pray that you would give us that spirit of understanding to understand the importance of this more and to walk in it more authoritatively Lord Jesus. We thank you Lord, we thank you for Puff Nancy, thank you for enabling her to teach the word. We pray to God that we would be a fruit of what we have heard Lord Jesus give you worship in Jesus most precious name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you John. Thank you everyone. Yeah.
