Notes from FUSION - what are we doing?!
What is a prayer room?
What is FUSION?
It is a strange balance.
First and foremost it is about creating an environment pleasing to God, after all this is His place (and He has prepared the guest list). Then it is an environment in which people can let God speak to them in prayer, in praise, in thought, in conversation.
Who’s on the guest list?
Who knows!? [God]
That faithful, the lost, the hurt, the confused, the dazed, the rowdy, the drunk, the scholar, the mother, the child, the dancer, the artist; everyone!
It is a place in which people do not feel hindered in pouring out their hearts (in words, in writing, in thought, in song) and the lower their defences to let God fill them. We become empty to be filled afresh, if we hold on to all that we have we become stagnant.
The prayers that are prayed (in silence, in song, in writing, in tears) are serious. They are life and death! They are for loved ones; boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, family members. They are never prayed alone, they are amened by many. They may hear the prayer, read it later, see the tears staining the furniture. This house is filled with prayer, but if that were all it would be empty, a house of misery. But it is not, it is a house of hope, a place of God’s dwelling who “can do anything, you know far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us His Spirit deeply and gently within us.” (Eph 3:20 The Message).
A prayer room is a place of hope, where God shares his desires with our hearts.
