“Pray continually.”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
“If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.”
2 Chronicles 7:14-15 |

24/7 is a non-stop prayer
meeting spanning many nations and
Christian traditions. Participating groups pledge to pray 24
hours a day in a fixed location for anything between a few days to a
week or a month. They ‘carry the baton of prayer’ for that period.
Initiated at the 2001 Roots conference, the UK Territory commenced a year of
prayer. Over 1500 people passed through the 24/7 prayer room during the four-day
conference. Since then, a fire has spread throughout the world. The Salvation Army in
many countries around the world are partnering with the international 24/7 prayer movement.
Incredible works of transformation, healing and discipling have been seen in territories who have
committed to a year of prayer and beyond.

This fire has spread to the Canada, Russia, and territories in the United States of America, New Zealand and the Australia Eastern Territory. In Vancouver, Canada , young Salvationists have celebrated 3 years of non-stop prayer in the War room associated with the 614 corps. The New Zealand Territory are now into their second year of non-stop prayer. The commitment of these territories to prayer is producing much fruit. It is our turn to be part of the vision.
On 24.07.08. Australia Southern Territory

"Fan into flame the gift of God within you" - 2 Timothy 1:6
24-7 Prayer is an opportunity to start a fire - to break the faith barrier, to take God at His word through community... to listen to His voice... to experience 'interdependence' (sharing of gifts) so that we may bear fruit for God's kingdom. It's an opportunity for us to learn how to pray so that the Glory of God will be revealed in and through us - His people.
24-7 non-stop prayer gives us, as a community of Christians & Salvationists, an opportunity to do real business with Him. To take God at His Word. To go deeper - and wider, and to be influencers for the advancement and expansion of God's kingdom.
"Use common sense with God in pleading His promises. If you were to go to one of the banks, and see a man go in and out and lay a piece of paper on the table, and take it up again and nothing more - if he did that several times a day, I think there would soon be orders to keep the man out.
Those who come to the bank in earnest present their cheques, they wait until they receive their gold, and then they go; but not without having transacted real business.
They do not put the paper down, speak about the excellent signature, and discuss the excellent document; but they want their money for it, and they are not content without it. These are the people who are always welcome at the bank, and not triflers.
A great many people play at praying. They do not expect God to give them an answer, they only play games. God would have us do real business with Him in our praying" CH Spurgeon Are you cashed up? Claim what is promised!"
