Saturday morning, we boarded a ferry that we (whoever showed up from Pattaya Praise) supernaturally transformed :) into a "Battle Ship/Prayer Boat." We spent about 3 hours riding up and down the coast of Pattaya worshiping God and praying over the city. It felt great to be able to look out at such a wide span of the city while you were praying. It's like going up into the foothills and 
looking over Visalia...it feels like the ability to see so much physically, stirred the ability to pray and believe that much more spiritually. I felt really encouraged as I could feel God's heart moving inside me, and I had the opportunity to pray 
whatever He spoke to my heart. He knows this city and He is so gracious to share how He feels to anyone who'll take time to listen.This "Prayer Boat" was a spontaneous idea, because one of the venues that was supposed to happen during this time got cancelled. So the leaders of Pattaya Praise had the idea for this just the day before. Consequently, no one was booked to do worship on the boat, so I had the
opportunity to help lead some of the worship during that time. It was such a blessing to be able to lead along side a number of other groups and nations leading as well...a group from Ireland, Australia, and some local Thai worship leaders...Every tribe and every nation! Pattaya Praise is a great picture of the unity of the brethren. And that "oil of unity" so releases God's power into the atmosphere.

So amazing how God opens doors and boat rides so the Kingdom can be unlocked and loosed through that Key of David (which I believe is worship and the Presence factor)! Remember Isaiah 22:21-24,"I will entrust him with your authority. And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
ReplyDelete22Then I will set the key of the (house of David on his shoulder,
When he opens no one will shut,
When he shuts no one will open.
23"I will drive him like a peg in a firm place,
And he will become a throne of glory to his father's house.
24"So they will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, offspring and issue, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars.
You've got the KEYS, Brother!!!
Great pics, BTW, thanks for posting and writing too. For me posting a journal type thing or writing in a journal on a trip is a challenge. I always intend to do that on trips out of country, but am lazy about it after the 3rd day. Keep doing these post, they are SO APPRECIATED & helpful for those who are detailed prayers, Shon! So glad you have computer access.
Blessings to you today, Shon!
