When people think about prayer, they often think about going into a room with a solemn atmosphere so as not to disturb anything. But now in this era, people are catching the vision of GOD about transformation—that His kingdom has to be established in every place, not only in the church building but also in the market place where so there is much darkness at work. God’s people have to bring the light and drive the darkness away.
In the 18th February 2012, more than 5000 people gathered at Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno National Stadium. They came from various age groups and walked hand in hand around the stadium, winning an award by Indonesia’s Record Museum (MURI) for this event. I am very proud of our youth fellows that stood forward with all the risk. They made history by destroying the spirit of tradition and the religious spirit. Yes, now it’s time for God’s people to boldly shine forth.
I also respect and salute the church leaders who came and became father figures for many next-generation leaders. This event has caused a spiritual wave that will flow into the bigger wave that will occur on 17 May 2012 at the World Prayer Assembly. On that day, 100,000 people will gather in the same national stadium linked by live TV together with another 300 cities in Indonesia. Forty days before the WPA2012, we will have fasting and prayer from April 4 to May 13. We will have 300 intercessors praying everyday for 12 hours in Jakarta.
According to our history, there has never been such a wave of the prayer movement that has connected hundreds of cities. We do not see physical changes yet, but we feel the separation walls among churches, in the culture, and between generations are now being destroyed. All this is happening because of God’s will and His people’s willingness to be used as instruments of peace. Humility and willingness are the keys to enter the next wave of God.
There will be 280 cities that are planning to hold city-wide prayer on May 17. It is likely there will be more than 300 cities, even up to 400 cities, taking part and praying together for Indonesia and our world. This has never happened before! It’s really God!
May our nation be covered by a canopy of prayer to fulfill Habakkuk 2:14 as the other nations join in as well.
We hope that all who read this can join with us in prayer and fasting, also mobilizing others to pray with you. A Word Concerning the World Prayer Assembly from the Pacific-2012 The Year of the Breakthrough!
Here is the key word for 2012 from the Lord, through the young prophet Son of the Mountains. The Lord has declared 2012 to be the ‘Year of the Breakthrough’ for His people all over the world. The Background story is the Breakthrough the Lord provided for King David and for Israel against the Philistines at Baal Perazim. The Key to God’s Breakthrough for King David and for us today is total obedience to the voice of God. I am so excited about this word and I know 2012 will be a year unlike no other.
For the Global Church, our breakthrough will come from the World Prayer Assembly (WPA) in Indonesia in May 2012. I will write another report on this later on. The last WPA in Seoul, South Korea in 1984 birthed many movements in the world including the Deep Sea Canoe Vision and Movement from the Pacific. Just as the Breakthrough in Baal Perazim opened the way for David to bring the Ark of the Covenant/Shekinah glory into Jerusalem, the WPA in Indonesia in May will be the ‘Breakthrough’ for the glory of God to return to Jerusalem in 2017, according to the Deep Sea Canoe Vision, for the glory of the Lord to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.
All glory, honour and praise to God alone, the Lord of the Breakthroughs!
