My 715 Prayer

I was on course and having a good time with a colleague. I remember the 715 prayer and wondered if anyone near my area would really do it. Maybe I could don't do it. But I must and should.

It was 705. I took my leave and hurried home.

Dear Lord, please bless me with someone who is doing the 715 prayer also. I hope to have company and not be alone. It would be very sad.

The traffic light seemed slow to me. It was nearly 715 if not passed the hour. My sticker! My red sticker! I clumsily pulled it out of my bag and held it in my hand - a little shy to wear it. In my other hand, I held the little red 715 booklet. The sticker began to feel limp as it melted in my sweaty palms. I stuffed it back into the red booklet - the booklet should identify me.

It was nearly dark but I could make out the 3 ladies in front of me. I saw the red booklets in their hands and thanked God for answering my prayer.

They were from the Adultnet and one actually lives in the same block as me! We broke up into pairs and me, the youth, listened to the directions from the adult. We each took ownership of a block and walked around it, praying in tongues and interceding as the Lord led. After which, we sat down to sing Amazing Grace and 2 other songs from the little red booklet.

We began to pray again, asking God for breakthrough in the different areas such as the family, the broken relationships, the children, the MP for the area, spiritual breakthroughs. And we did all this amidst the traffic that carried on around us. I prayed for the people stepping in and out of the lifts and whatever God laid on my heart. My partner from the Adultnet prayed in Mandarin and I was so inspired by what she prayed! It was as if she had access to God's heart as I listened to her covered the areas one by one. I was literally nodding in agreement to every single point she made!

My partner also prayed for me and I felt so wonderfully blessed! I think it is just the beginning of the Adultnet merging with the Youthnet. I know - it will be good.

After praying, we walked around, intending to find another block to prayer walk but found that another FCBC member was already walking around the area with his cell members. My partner's husband. Wow! FCBC was out to pray!

So my partner led me back to our block and we walked around it again. This time, it was different. I felt like crying. The more I walked, the more I began to sense the heavy heart of God for all the people in the block. I began to pray with more fervour and I was encouraged in my spirit to know I had other brothers and sisters interceding together with me to a God Almighty who will make things happen.

We ended with a closing declaration from the book and I also prayed for her.

It was a pity we had to rush off to continue our individual lives. Still, it was such a wonderful time of prayer.

What was your 715 prayer like?
