Day and Night

Prayer Room

The prayer room is the foundation of all ministry and outreach at NMHOP. Scripture teaches that night-and-day prayer is deeply connected to the release of the fullness of God’s power and purpose (Lk. 18:7–8; cf. Isa. 62:6–7). We are offering Jesus unremitting adoration and taking a stand in prayer for the manifestation of God’s justice in every realm of life.

Prayer Room Schedule

What can I expect?

Central to the programs, activities, and outreach of the Northern Michigan House of Prayer is our Day and Night prayer room, which is open to the public. Prayer Room activities have been designed to reflect the tabernacle of David; (1 Chr. 9:33; 22-24) it is a place where we continually worship the Lord and interceding for our world.

All are welcome to come and go freely and to stay in the prayer room as long as you can. While in the prayer room, feel free to join in with the corporate worship and prayer, read your Bible, study a favorite commentary, write in your journal, or engage in private prayer. You may sit, stand, or pace up and down the aisles. Whatever you do, we ask that you do it in a manner that honors and serves the other people in the room.

If you have any questions while visiting, please do not hesitate to ask any staff member with a staff name badge. We extend a very warm welcome to you, our visitor, and hope the Lord will minister to you while you visit.

Worship and Prayer

Our prayer format is based on the heavenly picture that we see in Revelation 5, which speaks of the harp and bowl—worship, and prayer. Within this worship prayer model, we use two basic formats. Intercession sessions and worship with the Word sessions, which are more devotional in nature.

Intercession sessions are usually energetic, as the room is invited to engage in corporate prayer. There is generally a specific prayer focus, and individuals in the room are welcome to pray on the microphone for a corporate burden, which may involve the Northern Michigan region or believers worldwide. There are also cycles of “rapid-fire prayer” when intercessors go to the microphone to pray a succession of 15-second prayers on a specific theme, as well as times of small group prayer for any who wish to participate.

Worship with the Word is a prayer format in which we agree with God’s heart as we sing the biblical truths of who God is and what His promises are. These sessions are more devotional in nature, providing an atmosphere conducive to reading the Bible and entering into contemplative or devotional prayer.

Who We Are

The Lord has called us to be a community of believers committed to God, each other, and to establishing and maintaining a house of prayer in Northern Michigan. We are committed to prayer and fasting in the spirit of the tabernacle of David, the Great Commission, and to living as forerunners, spiritually preparing ourselves for the unique dynamics of the end times while doing our part to help prepare the Bride of Christ.
