God's heart for the nations

Published: January 26th, 2005

God's heart for the nations is huge and throughout my time in Athens I found Greece is no exception. My time in Greece was to focus on mobilising a prayer room, which would hold continuous prayer 24-7 style during the Olympics. But this is no ordinary room; this is a room which you can step into the presence of Jesus, which can be felt.
 
All over the walls were artwork, heart cries, and Scriptures. This was a place where people could share their hearts with God and God could do the same with them.
 
I was in Athens for 25 days and God used us in many ways. Our team would come alongside others, pray for them and hear clearly from God bringing encouragement and healing. We had many conversations with people while we were just travelling around. The Greeks were touched when we told them we had come to pray for their nation.
 
We had awesome answers to prayer e.g. people being healed physcially. My overwhelming feeling was that a lot of what was accomplished took place in the heavenlies. I learnt a lot about prayer too. i've never wept so much before and felt so close to God's heart for the nations.
