10 Days. • 120+ Cities. • a Global Upper Room!

[Phil Miglioratti]

In August of 2019, God gave us a vision to see 120 Cities join together during the 10 Days of Awe in the Spirit of the Acts 1 "Upper Room Prayer Meeting" and the Azusa Street Pioneers, who saw an outpouring of the Spirit in 1906 in the middle of 10 Days of fasting and prayer.  I can tell you that I had no confidence in the natural that we would be able to reach this goal, but it filled me with such an abiding fire and passion that I was confident that God would do it somehow, someway. On Monday, September 7, we passed 120 cities confirmed! Let's take a moment to celebrate what God has done in forming His people into a "Global Upper Room."  Father, you truly are faithful! This number, "120", was not chosen randomly--it was sparked by the Holy Spirit. "120" represents the Upper Room, where the 120 people representing the New Covenant temple, the people of God, were baptized in the Holy Spirit, Glory, and Fire. "120" was also the number of Priests present when the glory of God fell on Solomon's Temple. (2 Chronicles 5) As you can see, 120 is a number associated with the Glory of God filling the Temple, God's dwelling place! May we experience a fresh outpouring of His power, love, and glory as we humble ourselves before him this September! From a Global Upper Room to Global Ninevah Our other big number for this year, "120,000" was also not chosen randomly.  120,000 was the number of inhabitants of Ninevah--those who repented at the preaching of Jonah.   The nations of the earth have been shaken this year.  People have been afraid, angry, and confused.  As we seek God together from over 120 different locations, let's ask God for a global "Ninevah moment", where the nations of the earth will respond to God's invitation to turn away from from their wicked ways, and turn to Jesus as their Lord, Messiah, and Savior. Father, as we prepare to enter this global upper room season, we cry out for a great turning towards you in the hearts of people around the world.  We ask for global Ninevah to be humbled and turn towards you!  Would you Unite your people, pour out your Spirit, and bring a great harvest from every tribe, language, and nation. Make us your messengers and servants, those you have prepared for such a time as this! Jonathan Friz 10days.net   The 10 Days 2020 Vision

Phil, yesterday at the Global Upper Room prayer, leaders from all over the world confessed the sins of their parts of the world. It icluded racism and slavery of the past, as well as slavery of today (sex trafficking and abortion). 

It was also Rosh Hoshanah and Day 1 of 10Days of Awe and part of The Return and part of Hinge of History 40 day fast and YWAM's 30 days of prayer during September, and others.

David's Tent in DC has also opened to the public again for 24/7 prayer after being closed due to the pandemic.

Global Upper Room continues for the rest of the year:

Praise the Lord!

I have never seen so much humility and intercession in all the years that I have been an intercessor. God is on the move all over the world in the church and the nations. Blessed be our Lord God!

Thank You Lord God that Your servants are praising and praying as never before. We ask for Your blessing on all prayers and intercessors and the fruits of their labor. Please cover them all with You protection and joy and peace, and give continuous strength to persevere and to stand their ground, that having done everything, to still stand for Your glory and bring joy in the heart of God. 

Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
