prayer in the square

(me and my brother)

There is this big lump of enthusiasm in my heart to share to you on what God is doing here in the city that never sleeps. Evidently, New York City has everything the WORLD has to offer. Yes it is wicked. As a matter of fact, the first time I set foot on Manhattan (just as I got out of the subway) there was a billboard that caught my attention that says: "Life is short. Have an affair in New York. (With a picture of a woman that looks like the one the book of Proverbs warn men about)"

Shoot! Right in the heart of the city, sin is encouraged. That is NY. People seem to be too busy to know God--or even notice God. The way people act, you could say they have no idea about eternity.


But no matter how abhorrent the reality is in here, this can't keep God from doing mighty works. And in these last days, He is manifesting His power through His people--people who are burning with passion to make God's name known; people who are willing to be used by God that no single soul will go to hell without hearing what Jesus has done; and people who know very well that they got nothing but Jesus. These people gathered together for an hour believing that one hour of prayer can change the world.

Last September 7, 2008, approximately 50,000 people representing 170 denominations within and outside the state (even outside the country) came together to pray along the streets of Times Square, Manhattan. Hence called PRAYER IN THE SQUARE.


Christians went out of their roofs and gather under one banner, the banner of Jesus Christ. This one hour surely echoes to eternity.


I just can't believe that this is really happening. That is because America, I thought, has turned her back from God. But it is such a great wonder that even the mayor proclaimed the date recognizing it as an important event. Wow! When God moves, every impossibility will just turn into solid steps taking His purpose higher. What an amazing God we are serving!


Let us keep on praying.
