This is Worship Week for the students, faculty and missionaries of Ukunda Missions School. Some 40 to 50 people are gathered for prayer and fasting for four days from Monday through Thursday, knowing that they will hear the clear voice of the Holy Spirit.
The cry of their hearts is,
“How I need you, Lord.
How I need to hear your voice.
I do not want to go, if you do not go with me. I need you Lord.”
This is a week of laying everything on the altar, all plans and desires and preferences. It is a week of hearing from God in worship about God’s assignments. It is a week of strong expectation that His voice will change the course of life. Some will be promoted to new assignments. Others will sense God is calling them for more preparation for more difficult assignments later. And for all, there is the commitment to take on God’s assignment whatever the cost.
As I participate in the prayer and fasting, I am drawn into the awesomeness and joy of His presence. And for a moment, I feel as though I am in the large upper room with the 120 saints in Acts 1 & 2, waiting to receive the promise of the Father, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
What joy!
