70,000 names lifted up in powerful prayer

Pastor Steve and Kathy Gray called for a different kind of altar call this past Saturday at World Revival Church of Kansas City. “This is not for you,” Pastor Kathy told the gathered congregation, “it’s for the 70,000 who have entrusted their lives to you!”

Two boxes were brought in from the Gray’s house: one box contained the 70,000 prayer requests called in from Daystar viewers; the other contained the names of every first-time visitor to World Revival Church in 2009.   “We’re giving everybody a chance to use your ministry, use your anointing,” said Pastor Steve as the pages and pages of prayer needs and names were spread out across the platform. The call was to prayer - on behalf of others and on behalf of the world.   Almost overwhelming to comprehend, the requests represented needs of every kind: healings, freedom from addictions, marriages, children, pastors, countries. Pastor Kathy shared how she has learned to pray for the thousands of requests coming in almost weekly. “Pray like we pray for ourselves,” she admonished, “Pray that they will live and that they will become carriers of revival. Cry out like people who really care!”   As one body, the congregation of WRC moved to the altar to grab hold of the pages of prayer requests. It was an amazing moment of intercession that touched heaven and had an unexpected affect on the intercessors.   Kenny, a WRC young adult, experienced a real change in his life as he prayed. His mother had passed away after battling cancer and he had been dealing with depression. “I ran up to the altar and the three pages I had before me were people suffering from the same things I was battling. I started feeling the compassion of God… and the more I prayed, the depression lifted off me. I’m free!”   “Last night will be planted in me for the rest of my life,” Sherrie said. “It was overwhelming seeing God’s people crying out to Him. I am now expecting 70,000 lives to be changed and 70,000 testimonies.”   That same faithful expectation lives in Pastor Steve and Kathy and all the World Revival Church members who are giving their lives to share revival with the world.   Do you have a prayer need or a praise report you’d like to share?
