The Cleveland House of Prayer exists to minister to the Lord day and night to create a dwelling place for Him in Cleveland and to advance His kingdom across the earth.
What we do
We minister to the Lord day and night. Therefore, we are seeking to unite believers from across Cleveland to worship the Lord and pray day and night.
He is worthy of it
Jesus is worthy of our praise day because of who He is and what He has done! That is why the Psalmists say His name is to be praised from the rising of the sun to its going down and give Him the glory due His name! (Psalm 113:3, Psalm 96:8-9) It is our joy and honor to give Him what He deserves!
It establishes a place for His presence
We see a pattern in the Bible that when we draw near to God, He draws near to us.
It creates a place for people to seek the Lord
David’s one desire and pursuit was to dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of his life so that he could gaze on the beauty of the Lord and inquire of Him. (Psalm 27:4) Part of our goal is to create a space for people to sit as His feet like Mary did. (Luke 10:38-42)
It causes those who do not know God to seek God
We worship, inviting God to come to the city, and we pray, to ask Him to save souls.
God promises to send justice as we cry out to Him night and day
In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus tells a parable that men always ought to pray and not lose heart! In it, He says that God will send justice speedily as His elect cry out day and night. (Luke 18:6-7)
