We want to give you an idea of what goes on at Prayershift and encourage you to add your prayers to what was covered on the day.

Prayershift is a powerful mixture of praise and worship, input on key issues and prayer with an emphasis on creating breakthroughs and change.

We watched a powerful video from an unprecedented gathering of global prayer leaders and mission leaders held at Hernhutt in Germany last year. See https://vimeo.com/244739881

One of the memorable quotes was “The degree to which prayer is mobilised is the degree to which the world is evangelised.” We followed this praying for prayer and mission to be brought together and the gospel to go forward. As we did, we kept getting led back to Hernhutt’s mission cry – as they left their village they would shout “For the Lamb that was slain”. A word was given “Hear the sound, the Lamb is in the field. He is calling forth redemption, mercy and change.” We found ourselves praising and honoring the Lamb, who has taken the sins of the entire world. We also prayed for Trumpet Call, that the hall will be full and that everyone who attends will hear God speak powerfully.

Jane and Ian reported back from a prayer gathering in Northern Ireland representing the nations of the United Kingdom plus the Channel Islands and the Republic of Ireland. We followed this with a very powerful time of prayer for reconciliation in Ireland, repenting for our division and calling for Christians to focus on God’s Kingdom. We prayed for Ireland to commit to “life” in the forthcoming abortion referendum.

We also prayed into the Windrush situation and the hatred and fear that had been released into the nation following Enoch Powell’s “Rivers of blood” speech in Birmingham fifty years before. God is exposing injustice as he shakes our nation. We are aware that divisions still exist and prayed for healing and reconciliation through His church.

We all felt blessed to be there, standing together in God’s presence and being given authority to pray into some key issues.

Our next Prayer Shift is the last one before Trumpet Call, on May 12th. This is such a key time to pray for Turning in our nation and for God to pour His spirit of love, forgiveness and goodness on our nation.

We would love you to join us! We meet at The Betel Church Centre, 122-138 Sherlock Street, Birmingham, B5 6NB from 10.30 – 3.00. It is time to see God do extraordinary things!
