NDOP | |
We dream of a city where the Kingdom of God is established through believing, consistent prayer. Our desire is to network intercessors all over the city of Long Beach praying in concert over various areas of concern. Each month we will pray over a council district, City leaders, and schools and churches in that district. We will also pray over a Cause monthly and soak our City with the prayers of the righteous. We will also offer one of the NDOP seven spheres of prayer. To learn more about National Day of Prayer please visit their website.
In 2 Timothy we see this exhortation - "I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." Again in Proverbs 11:11 we see that "By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted."
