Whoever passed through the three layers security gate at the UN multiple-storied building could not fail seeing a statue of a giant horseman pinning down a dragon on the ground with his spear. As I saw that statue, it came to mind suddenly the victorious horseman in Revelation and the dragon thrown down from his seat by the supernatural power of God. The 'demolition squad' of intercessors will encounter the forces of darkness, but the battle belongs to God and victory is assured through the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of the saints (Rev 12). God has given the nations to His chosen Son as an inheritance (Psalm 2:8) and our prayers at the UN would be just to affirm that great promise of God, who has now called all people in the world to repent and come to Jesus (Acts 17).
When we entered the room, we were seated at table 1 with Ambassador of El Salvador, John Robb and others for the breakfast. How neat to hear the testimonies, special numbers and announcements from various people including ambassadors, Luis Bush, etc while enjoying the breakfast. Afterwards, we were moved to a conference room where 300 delegates began engaging in intercession from 10 am till almost 5pm. Apart from a one-hour break, it was prayer, singing and messages and sharing all the way. In the meantime, the children's group prayer-walked the building and various rooms asking the blessings of the Lord to fill the UN, its officials, ambassadors and its 30 affiliated global organizations spread around the world. All the prayer concerns cannot be reproduced here, but the Lord has blessed the prayers of His people and the Bible declares that 'if we pray according to His will, we know He hears our prayers' and this is the assurance we have because He has promised to forgive and heal if we humble ourselves, seek His face and pray for the things that are close to His heart (2 Chron. 7:14).
Long time ago, God moved New York through such chosen people like D.L. Moody, Billy Graham, and Pastor David Wilkerson. Then, through Islamic terrorism a great disaster struck New York 9/11 2001. Now, thanks be unto God, for He is moving one more time to impact the nations through the prayers of His people. The great thing about this prayer initiative is to be 'connected' through IPC with all those who love the Lord and are passionate about advancing His kingdom throughout the world. It is indeed 'Harvest Time' as more people are pressed into the ministry of prayers. Together it can be done!
Greater things are yet to come. Greater things are yet to be done in this city and your city....
