As we open our prayer room and begin the 24 hour prayer, we thought we would prepare ourselves by meditating on the vision and letting God write it on our hearts. The Bible says,
Hab 2:2
Then the LORD answered me and said:
"Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
Hab 2:3
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
We are going to post parts of the vision daily for everyone to read and pray about. We want to get what God is saying and doing in our hearts. We don't want to just be familiar with the words, but we want it to become who we are. Let God birth the vision in your own heart.
We are so blessed to be part of a church that is unwavering and pursuing God. The call of our church (East Gate Christian Fellowship) is to lay down our lives that God can truly be Lord of all! I thank God for leaders who are focused on the vision that God has written on their hearts.
Please respond in the comment section and share what God shows you concerning the vision.
Day 1:
The vision is Jesus, obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus
The vision is an army of young people.
You see bones, I see an army
We are free from materialism and the constraints of career obsession
This Is Who We Are
MISSION STATEMENT: We, the youth of the North Shore covenant with God to see His redeeming purposes established in Salem.
We set our lives and meetings apart to pray and intercede for an awakening to take place in the youth of our region.
Our purpose is found in laying down our lives and agendas at the feet of Jesus, taking up His burden for our generation.
We are a group, that through prayer, fasting, intense worship and praise will contend with the spirits in the land for the future and destiny of the youth of the region.Our main purpose is to glorify Christ and be completely freed from the powers that control that which we are called to loose. We contend for an revival so that the youth of this region can have a true and life changing encounter with the fullness of redemption that is found in Jesus Christ.

I think this is a great idea! Because a vision is not just words on a piece of paper but it is inscribed on the tablets of our hearts. It is more than just pretty sounding verses and rhymes it is the song of an army rising upt. It's what gets us moving. it makes up for everything we are and everything we should strive to be like!
More than anything the idea of an army is what impresses me about this part of the vision.
God is indeed building an army and He has equipped us with the best equipment invented by the greatest mind (Ephesians 6:10-18). He teaches us to war (Psalm 144:1) and of course we all know what happens when God's army actually marches (Joshua 6:1-20).
As I've been reading Red Moon Rising it occurs to me that the key to the vision (other than the obvious, Jesus Christ) is that it is an active vision. It is a marching vision. The prayer rooms equip the army but they don't take the place of the "boots on the ground".
If we only lay hold of the vision and secret it away in our hearts only to be brought out in prayer it will be dead to us. God's army MUST march and that's a very real and tangible thing. If the vision goes no further than prayer and we don't let God use us to touch people and bring them hope in a real way what is the point of it?
going upstream and against the current of society is always easier when you are doing it with people who desire God as much as you do. We need each other in this counter culture movement and lets not get stuck in the muck of shallow conversations, but as long as it is 'today', lets talk about the redemption of scattered bones and things that really matter.
Where is the prayer room and what is the schedule? I can't find it on your site.
