Prayer Watch / Night Vigils

Capital Region National Day of Prayer (CRNDP)
On Going Prayer Movement -- Watching With Him

Prayer Watch / Night Vigils are held on Fridays, several times a year at the Faith Outreach Center. We pray in 4 watches from 6:00pm Friday until 6:00am Saturday morning. Our desperation builds a habitation for His presence. He visits us and we are enlightened, strengthened, built up and empowered to be effective for Kingdom purposes for such such a time as this.

All Night Vigils (6:00pm - 6:00am) will be held at:

Faith Outreach Center
4318 Rhode Island Avenue
Brentwood, MD 20722

Upcoming Vigils, reserve these dates!

6:00pm - 9:00pm

The first watch symbolizes when God called Israel out of Egypt unto Himself. He ordained a season when He would visit His people again and deliver them from their enemies. "And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows" (Exodus 3:7). He heard their cry! Could faith been mix with their cry? I believe we all have a day of visitation from the Lord. God likes to show up in our life. However, are we expecting Him to visit us?

9:00pm - Midnight

The second watch was when Peter denied the Lord. Israel was even scattered during this time. If we are not watchful, we can also deny Christ and be scattered. It is important that we have a solid rock prayer life and intimate fellowship with the Lord. We know what happened to Peter; take a look at what happened to Israel.

"And all of them ate the same miraculous food, and all of them drank the same miraculous water. For they all drank from the miraculous rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. Yet after all this, God was not pleased with most of them, and he destroyed them in the wilderness" (1 Cor. 10:3-5). They lusted after evil things; they became idolaters; committed sexual immorality and also became complainers and were destroyed by the destroyer (vs. 6-10).

Midnight - 3:00am

The third watch is just a continuation of the second watch. As I stated, Peter denied Christ three times and ran and hid himself. He was afraid! When you are faced with persecution on your job, in your home, at school do you run and hide. Here is a good one! When you know some one who is speaking against the name of Christ, do you speak up or do you keep silent. The Bible says if you don't speak up when you should; it called the sin of omission.

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin" (James 4:17). Beloved we have a voice in this earth and we have to use it NOW!

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16).

3:00am - 6:00am

The fourth watch symbolizes the power of resurrection; the breaking of a new day; the Lord revealing His glory. This is where we should be personally, and the Church as a whole.

The Apostle Paul says, "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you" (Galatians 4:19) Travail in the Greek means to experience the pains of childbirth. Or are we aborting, and miscarrying? To abort is to deliberately terminate; and to miscarry is to voluntarily expel. Either way, we stop the travailing process. Therefore, God forbid that we do!
