24/7 means constant; all the time, every moment. As humans we don't have the energy or focus to do anything 24/7 by our own strength. But God does. He is committed to you 24/7. He never stops loving you or caring for you; He is never for one second unaware of your needs. We honor His commitment to us, and eagerly engage in the chance to know Him more, by committing ourselves to 24/7 prayer.

Welcome to the Prayer Room! Please enjoy allowing the Lord to be with you. Feel free to use the stations as starting guides for your prayers, songs, dances, or quiet meditations. There is an iMac computer next to the sound board that has iTunes on it. Please feel free to select some worship music and play it while you pray. You are invited to light a candle as you enter the prayer room and extinguish it when you leave to mark your time with the Lord. Also, please pray for the person who comes to relieve you after your shift and partake of communion together. (Ideas: that God would speak specifically to them, that their time would be sweet fellowship with Him, their personal requests). Keep the river flowing!

Please respect the purpose of the space and those who are praying by speaking quietly or taking non-prayer conversations to the gallery area. If you choose to sleep here overnight, please sleep in the gallery or the basement. Thanks.

As you enter into the prayer room, we encourage you to begin with a heart of simply seeking God’s presence. Try to begin by putting away any agenda’s or stresses you might have came here with. Participating in acts of giving God praise, confession, and thanksgiving can assist us in connecting with God and actually being in His presence. Once we are connected with God it helps us have his heart as we pray for ourselves, our love ones and the world around us. Do not feel you must use the stations to do this, but only if they will assist you.

The Stations are here to encourage prayer as well as have a corporate journal of the week to allow participants to build on the prayers of others that have come before them.

Themes

Prodigals
This has been an emphasis since Source has been in existence but has been on our hearts strongly lately. We will be praying for prodigals to know the love of God. We are also praying for ourselves, for communities in the area to be like the Father and run to welcome the prodigals.

Dreams and Visions
Joel 2:28-32 and Acts 2:14-21 says that in the last days God says he will pour out his Spirit on all flesh, giving dreams and visions. This is a season where we are getting to know one another and each other's dreams and visions. It is also a season where we are encouraging one another to journal dreams and share with the community.

Breathing Life
The last weekend of March we had Adam Cox from the Kansas City Boiler Room here. He spoke on dreams and visions as well as a word from God about God breathing life into this body. Since January we have been in a season of new life and believe God is leading us through a season of new life among us.

Healing
In this season we have felt an emphasis for healing. We believe the Holy Spirit is leading us to dedicate this month and the 24/7 week to ask that he will come and physically heal individuals. Much of this was started by Peter’s sister Cindy’s battle with cancer. We believe this is a season to cry out to God for healing: physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

Loving God, Loving each other and loving the world
The three main focuses of Boiler Room communities is being true to Christ, kind to others and bringing the Gospel to the nations. There are many ways that these can be expressed. The stations for this week of 24/7 prayer are here to help us devote ourselves to these three practices.

Poustinia: A Russian word meaning “desert.” A small space to sneak away and be alone with the Lord. In Luke 5:16 it records that as the crowds increased Jesus often withdrew to lonely, desolate, deserted places to pray. Imitate Christ by withdrawing to this deserted place.

Communion: The body and blood of Christ are available for you to partake. Take some time to meditate on the greatest sign of love.

Family Tree: a tree with different leaves on which you can write names of family, friends, etc. who do not know the Lord. We are praying for them to experience God's love and become part of the family of God.

Let the children come to me: Jesus said not to hinder the children from coming to him. He also said that unless you become like a child you cannot enter the kingdom of God. We are praying for children to grow in the Lord.

Dreams and Visions: In Joel 2 as well as Acts 2 God says in the last days he will pour out his Spirit on all people. Part of this outpouring is the giving of dreams and visions. We are praying for literal dreams and visions this week as well as the dreams God has put in our heart. Journal your dreams and visions in this sketch pad during this week.

Prayer Pot: the Northumbria community has a prayer pot that holds many prayer requests. Each day they pick one out and pray for the individual, couple, family, etc. We are going to have a pot with prayer requests from the Source family and pick one to prayer for.

Post it Door: We have a door with post-its next to it where we write prayer requests and post it on the door. Jesus said, 'Keep on knocking and the door will be opened" (Matthew 7:7)and as a practical reminder we are using the visual of a door.

World map: Pray for the lost, the least, the left out. Pray for our city, our nation. Pray for the nations of the earth. Pray for Source. There is a Minneapolis paper and another paper with worldwide news. Pick a headline, cover it in prayer, then cut it out and tape it to the wall for others to join in prayer.

Neighborhood Map: Pray for our neighborhood. Pick a block, write a prayer.

Map and Red Door Post: The red doorframe represents the Passover lamb’s blood on the door and the blood of Christ. Write a prayer for a missionary, nation, people group and nail it to the door post.

Art Station: Feel free to use the paint supplies to paint whatever prayers are on your heart.
