Kitty O’Shea's Prayer Group

Seven regulars met today to pray, after an extended break due to public holidays and the change in management at Kitty’s. We welcomed Kevin who had recently relocated to Boston, and who had been encouraged by a previous prayer in his previous location that he would find people with whom to pray.

The group took time to catch up on a number of recent happenings. First, four members had been present at the Tremont Temple gathering the previous Friday; and they shared a sense of the joy (“Couldn’t stop smiling” as one member put it), expectation and unity which was there. In response, one member reminded us of Ps 126:

1 When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion,
we were like men who dreamed.

2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."

We rejoiced as we reported a sense of refreshing, repentance and re-clustering around God-given ministries which is taking place in churches; and recognized that Friday’s event was really just a continuation of a much longer flow of God’s working with us as individuals and churches.


Second, Greg reported that a New Hampshire church had decided to plant an inner city congregation for market place ministry; and was now actively seeking the way to do this. Third, Marty reported back from a recent national intercessors meeting in Texas on the power of having a broader vision.

In prayer, we lifted up:

  • The New Hampshire church seeking wisdom on how to engage in the city
  • Area pastors who had repented publicly on Friday, that they would see a clear way forward, would be refreshed and would be held up and supported appropriately in their congregations.

We prayed too for new wineskins for the fresh flow of the Spirit and for release from captivity for all who are bound.
