Many other pastors got in line and had one-on-one prayer as well. When I looked behind me, the line was literally to the back of the church!
The prayer service that night was so Spirit-filled. If you have not attended one of their prayer services, then it is hard for me to describe with words. The praise team leads in a couple of songs of worship, and then Pastor Jim comes and leads the remainder of the service. He lets the Spirit guide him. He too will begin singing a song, and everyone will join him. I could hardly sing because I was so full of emotion. I cried tears of joy as we praised and worshiped Jesus with so many people gathered for the sole purpose of worshiping our great God and bringing our prayers to His throne.
On this night, the church prayed for the children who would be starting school soon. Jim had the children and all those who worked in education come forward and get on the stage. It was packed with so many kids and adults. We prayed over them, and then Jim had middle school through graduate students come to the stage, and we prayed over them as well. Before we prayed, someone from BT would address the students and those adults who had roles in the public schools. Jim had encouraged us as pastors to be sure to pray for the students in our churches before they go back to school, and when the school year is over, have a time of prayer then too. He said, "Any time schedules change, the enemy is looking to harm."
When the prayer service concluded, joy was palpable in the atmosphere. I can see why people line up outside and wait patiently to get into the Tuesday night prayer services at the BT. The Spirit of God is there. The Lord hears His people as they cry out to Him. Needs are met. Miracles happen when God's people pray.
