Prayer Retreats for Nations
In the spring of 1997 I met a man.
He was broken, scared, and was preparing to
return to Sudan;
to a life where he was responsible for the
safety of thousands of Christians. He was famous in heaven and in his
country.
He had done many great exploits, in
overcoming the enemy.
One of these was recorded on p.351 in the
WindoWatchman2
book of reports on the1040 window.
I had the privilege of showing him the
report of his heroic act recorded for all to see. It answered his pain----
that no one knew or cared about the 35-year civil war and take-over of his
country.
As he would tell me about his country, I
became broken too.
He had been sent to the USA, not to raise
funds,
but to recover from trauma.
Soon, I was so broken, I began to cry and
sob for this country.
I cried all day, every day, for 2 months.
It was unreal.
I would straighten myself, to speak to
other people,
and then the tears would take over again.
Jesus was imparting His heart to me for His
inheritance -The Nations.
Psalm 2:8 speaks of this:
"Ask of ME, and I will surely give the
nations as Thine inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Thy
possession.
The Lord spoke to me and told me to call
people together to pray for this country. I went to a cabin with the harp,
and four other intercessors to pray. After three days of prayer, I was no
longer crying. The burden had lifted.
I immediately began to fund-raise for the
work in Sudan. A year later I read in the Washington Post (religious
section), about a group that had recently formed to raise funds for Sudan
and to bring it to media and congressional attention. They raised over a
million dollars, for the work of this same man I had met. Sudan was now in
the news.
Another woman worked to start an Aglow
chapter for the women.
These connections with the rest of the
world were desperately needed and by the Christians in Sudan. Our prayers
were being answered before our eyes in such a big way.
About two weeks after the prayer retreat, I
began to
"get sick" all over again, but this time it
was for Pakistan.
But now I knew how to get rid of this
terrible exquisite pain.
I had a prayer retreat!
These retreats are ongoing events of the
ministry.
With "Lebanon" we began to add the arts to
express the prayer.

Supporting Groups
Qadash
is
a Hebrew word meaning:
to be,
(make, pronounce or observe as) clean
(ceremonially or morally)
to
appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate,
defile,
hallow, holy, keep, prepare, proclaim,
purify, sanctify ones self wholly.
This is the name of a group of young
musicians and artists (mostly teenagers), who agree to fulfill their name.
These are the ones who do the work of the
ministry.
It is a permanent position until they ask
to be released.
You can hear them on the prayer retreat
CD's
of the various countries that we pray for.
The group is ever changing as we add
guest musicians who join us.
We play original music of many styles
(depending on what musicians are with us) which we make up on the spot for
whatever needs to be prayed.
Our home base is in Maryland, outside of
Washington DC.
The group was formed in 1998 on the
7th anniversary of the death of Paulette
Snyder.
The Lord was making a living memorial.
Art
Melchizedek's Treasure is a place of
creativity
where visual art expressions are not just
an adornment
of what is being prayed, but is usually the
foremost place to find where God is headed with a subject.
We call it prophetic art because God
speaks to / through us in the rendering.
This is often on paper, whiteboard, canvas, or just as often,
a visual act of particular meaning.
In the art community the closest thing to
it
is called performance art.
It is cooperation with the Holy Spirit at
high levels.
We have several artists who "do events"
with us.
Many of them are teens.
Here are some photographs of visual art at
events.
Dance
To qualify as ministry, dance must have
spiritual meaning
It is expressed to God or to other people.
To promote the Holy Spirit's free
expression in all of us,
we do not have a traditional dance team
nor is anything choreographed; but by the
leading of the Spirit,
all move in directed obedience to express
what the Holy Spirit deems appropriate.
