Interview With Intercessory Missionary, Ashley P.

In February of 2010 I lost my job. After losing my job I prayed about what the Lord wanted me to do—I didn’t just want to assume I was supposed to find another job and then end up miserable. I felt like the Lord was leading me to take the Relentless Internship that summer, however I got distracted with a relationship and ended up going in the opposite direction. I started looking for jobs, but could never land one. I was planning on going back to school in the Fall, and I actually had all of my classes picked out. But, around the beginning of August the Lord reminded me of the internship and impressed on my heart to take it. This time I chose to obey His leading and signed up.

What did the Lord say that made you decide to take the internship?

The Lord brought me to a place where I was desperate to know His plans for my life. He showed me that the plans I had for my life weren’t really all that great and He told me that He had good in store for me. When I finally surrendered myself over to the Lord—all of my plans, hopes and dreams—He told me to take the internship, so I did!

What did the Lord do in your heart during your time in the internship?

During the internship, the Lord showed me my barrenness. He revealed how great my need for Him really was. But, He didn’t just leave me empty with the realization that I desperately needed Him; He showed me who I am in His eyes. He revealed how much He loves me. During this time of my life I had been struggling really badly with rejection, and felt even like the Lord completely disapproved of me. He shattered all of these lies and drew me into His arms of love. To this day He continues doing this.

Thank you for your prayer and loving support during the 2011 year. We have seen God do amazing things for which we are grateful. We hope this encourages you that God is working through your gracious gifts to the house of prayer in Tallahassee, FL.

A few 2011 highlights:
• Invested over 2,500 hours standing on the wall of intercession over Florida
• Mobilized prayer at the Capitol over pro-life legislation that was passed into law 
• Sent teams on strategic prayer strikes throughout America
• Helped organize 50 hours of worship with Rick Pino & Sean Feucht
• Hosted Burn Weekends of 24-hour non-stop worship with regional teams
• Hosted our first national Relentless Conference

To help keep the fire burning, would you prayerfully consider giving a special year-end gift towards the work that God will do through prayer in 2012? All gifts are tax deductible.

We just recently finished 24 hours of non-stop worship this weekend at the missions base. It was incredible. Nine different worship teams from local churches and ministries ministered to the Lord Friday and Saturday as we offered Jesus a 24-hour offering of adoration.

I strongly believe that God desires 24/7 worship and prayer to be found all over the earth. In fact, His Word promises it:

"‘After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up..." -Acts 15:16

In Rev. 4-5 we see a glimpse of what happens in Heaven. In the throne-room where God dwells, angels, creatures and elders sing incessantly, "holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty" forever.

Beyond the general affirmations of God’s desire to bring Heaven and earth together (Eph 1:10, Col 1:19, Matt 6:10, Luke 11:2-3), God makes it explicit that He desires earthly worship to mimic heavenly worship. In Exodus 24-25 God meets with Moses on Mount Sinai and commissions him to build a temple according to what he saw (Exodus 25:8-9). This as an earthly replica to a heavenly reality (I Chronicles 28:19).
