IN DEBT to the Believer and the Unbeliever
"Both to Greeks and to barbarians
(to the cultured and the uncultured), both to the wise and to the foolish,
I have an obligation to discharge and a duty to perform and a debt to pay."
Romans 1:14 (Amp

Prayer Mountain


"Who may ascend to the hill of the most High?
Who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted his soul to falsehood
and has not sworn deceitfully.
He will receive a blessing from the Lord and 
righteousness from the God of his salvation."
Psalm 24:3-5


O Lord, we gather at this mountain of prayer and we say, "Yes, Lord! We WILL go up!"  We will go up with You. We are leaving this place of complacency and lukewarmness. We are ascending to the hill of the most high God! We will not stay at this place of lukewarmness any longer. We are hungry for more. We are awakening from our slumber. We are joining our hearts, our wills, our lives and our passions with You, Lord, and we are saying, "Yes! we WILL ascend, we WILL go!" It's through the blood of Jesus that we have been made clean, and it's through Your blood that our hearts are purified as we set our face and our course on seeking and knowing You. We will go, Lord! We will ascend! We will encircle this mountain from the north, the south, the east and the west. We will encircle it in unity and in faith. And as we go up we are seeking alignment with You so that we, as Your Body and Bride, we may align ourselves with Your heart and will and Your divine purpose for our lives. O Lord, we thank You that just as You called Moses up the mountain where You revealed the tabernacle of worship to him, so it will be that as we ascend this mountain of prayer that there will be personal revelation for each of us individually and corporately. We ascend and we receive NEW and fresh revelation and vision that we may know how to pray. We receive this new prayer anointing upon our lives individually and corporately. Just as the deer pants for the waterbrook, so our hearts and our souls pant after You, O God.
O Lord, we thank You that You've given us hinds feet for high places to go up higher in You, to go up higher into Your glory. We thank You that Your cloud of Glory is descending upon us as we ascend this prayer mountain, and we thank You that Your Spirit is drawing us up into this Glory, Your Spirit is reaching for us and drawing us up out of the things of this world, out of our complacency, out of our lukewarmness. We thank You and we repent and turn our backs on lukewarmness, and we ascend this mountain of passionate and fervent prayer. We thank You that the fervent and effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much, and we embrace this new anointing of passionate and fervent prayer. We thank You, Lord, that Your FIRE is falling upon us and igniting us in this place of prayer. Your Body and Your Bride is receiving this fresh FIRE! We are ABLAZE with a new resolve to seek and to know You and to see Your Glory released through our lives and into our houses of worship. We thank You, Lord, and we hear and feel and answer the call, and we are saying "Yes!"
We thank You, Lord. We thank You. We thank You!! Hallelujiah! Hallelujiah! Hallelujiah!
