Photos from Herefordshire Houses of Prayer's post FIGHT BACK WITH OUR DREAMS:
On Monday last week, before we had any real idea about the chaos on the horizon, we met together as Christians from churches across the city to dream together!
Everyone's voice was heard, as we discussed round four tables. This was in 3 sections, recorded on different shapes: firstly, we considered the new shoots of life, the "leaves", how God is moving amongst us already. (Phil. 1:6) 🌱
Second, we pondered the "mountains", the obstacles to God moving amongst us, which we long for God to move in response to our prayers (Matt. 21:21) 🏔
Thirdly, and most importantly, on the "dream clouds" we recorded the greatest dreams for the Church of Hereford we could ever imagine... in the hope we could tap into the dream of our Lord for our city and nation! (Acts 2:17) ⛅️
What was fascinating was the parallels between the 4 shapes in each case - the tables were discussing independently, yet came up with so much that was similar. When the children of God dream in harmony, could this be a sign the dream could be inspired by the same Holy Spirit who lives in each and every one of us?
Right now, as there is so much change, so much fear, so much despair - we need to dream together. Let's not let terror win - let's fight back with our dreams - our dreams that become bold prayers! 🙏 ... See more
