Burn Oklahoma City (again!)

I had the pleasure of spending around 17 of the last 24 hours in worship, prayer, intercession, and contending for my city and nation…

The amazing thing is that even after it was all was said and done, I went by myself to IHOP to break my fast and get some dinner down… I sat there and I felt like my heart was still so hungry for Him. I had some great times of worship and loving Him in sweet little ways, but I think the intercession itself (even though it is necessary and important) distracted me from the one thing He wants me to concentrate on: loving Him and knowing Him as the priority of my life.

Burn Oklahoma City

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of joining in with the good folks from The Burn Oklahoma City for 24 hours of worship, prayer, fasting and contending together for our city, our nation, ourselves and for the body of Christ.

It was a pretty awesome event that left me hungering for more. We had some really sweet times of worship and prayer.

I had the opportunity to grab the mic a couple times and speak forth (more like whimper) a prayer that God had burning on my heart, only to stumble back to my seat in tears, completely broken and thankful for what God was doing.

A longing…

Pro 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But [when] the desire comes, [it is] a tree of life.

I had been praying for a while for 24/7 prayer to break forth in Oklahoma City. For the longest time, it seemed like OKC was the only major city not to be hit by the prayer movement. There is much work to be done in the realm of intercession for this city. I couldn’t help but notice at least four ambulances drive by our location downtown during the 18 hours I spent there. But even more distressing than that is the spiritual condition of the city.

Wake up, Oklahoma City. Your Bridegroom awaits.
