PRAYERWAVE ASIA
January First 1999
Synchronized Prayer across Asia
12.01 am - 7.00 am [0001 hours to 0700 hours]
St Andrew's CathedralDear Pastors and Friends:
For weeks and months, with the unfolding drama of increasing distress in Asia, I was agonizing about the prayer direction PrayerWave Asia on January First 1999. My spirit was restless. There was no clear word, no sure focus. I was under tremendous 'pressure to produce.' It was easy to churn up a clever prayer idea. But in the fear of the Lord, I restrained. I decided to wait and trust in the Lord for His prayer agenda . . . even if it should only come in the 11th hour.
THEN. . . suddenly - the Lord 'showed up' one morning during my devotion. Out of nowhere, He spoke one word: FIRE! That word kept ringing and ringing in my spirit with increasing intensity: FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
I was stunned. Almost immediately scriptures that relate to FIRE came to mind with spit-fire rapidity. I wrote them all down, and as I reviewed them, suddenly it dawned on me that this word 'FIRE' is really the prayer focus the Lord was instructing concerning the 7-hours of synchronized prayers for PrayerWave Asia on January First 1999!
I am sure by now you would have received in the mail my PERSONAL NOTE on PrayerWave Asia. 1999 will not be an ordinary year. I believe the Lord would have us start the new year right by daring to place ourselves into His [loving] hands for Him to accomplish His will, His way! Honestly, I am in fear and trembling about this word. But I also realise that the SAFEST PLACE TO BE is IN the hands of the Lord. For we are the work of His hands. He has a plan and a future for us together - Singapore and the rest of Asia!
Please do forward this e-mail freely. Include prayer networks or ministries you are in contact with in Singapore, Asia and beyond.
On January First 1999, the Lord is looking for believers in this nation to respond to His promise in Ezekiel_22:30 -
"I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the GAP on behalf of [the nation and Asia] so I would not have to destroy it. . . "
May I appeal for your help in SOUNDING THE TRUMPET.
DECEMBER 27th is the last Sunday of 1998. Can you kindly make a special CALL for participation in PrayerWave Asia? Everyone is welcome: pastors, elders, leaders, intercessors, laity, etc. Anyone who believes that Asia is in need of massive HELP from HEAVEN.
I am confident that as we join faith in united worship and intercession for Asia, we will FRUSTRATE the enemy's schemes. . . and ACCELERATE God's redeeming work across Asia.
LET MY PEOPLE GO!
