Local Houses of Prayer
Local Houses of Prayer (LHOP)"Prayer is at the foundation of all we do, however, it is important to note that a Local House of Prayer (LHOP) is not just another prayer meeting – it’s a missional movement that is exploding across the earth at a Kingdom pace!
Typically commencing with only two or three people, LHOPs offer a framework to help us align our lives for greater blessing and impact our world for Jesus Christ right where we are.Participants adopt a small local area for Jesus, worship and pray for the manifest breaking in of the Kingdom of God, proclaim blessings over their neighbourhoods and spheres of influence...and play their part in its release through their life and witness with the aid of the Caleb Questions.Carry : Stand : BlessWe are called to be a royal priesthood, to carry the Presence of God, to stand before Him and to blessCarrying the Presence - into our area...Stand before the Lord and minister to Him - worship Him, serve Him as priests (being a 'royal priesthood')Pronouncing blessing over that place, people, organisations, institutions, structures, systems, (spheres of culture, influence, or action) etc, the land, (creation, animals, birds, plants, trees, water, air etc) - with the delegated authority we've been given as followers of Jesus.1 Pet 2:9 NLT
"...for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light."Deut. 10:8
"At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister and to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today."If you’d like to learn more about Local Houses of Prayer visit their website via the link below.
