If you've never been to an Interactive Prayer Room at LakePointe Church in Rockwall, I hope you will make
every effort to take part in this wonderful time of prayer and worship. I can't wait!
The stations are The Garden, The Kiss, The Crow, The Choice, The Stripes, The Cross and The King of the Jews.
Luke 22:41-44
41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Luke 22:47-48
47 While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him, 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
Luke 22:33-35 NIV
33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
Matthew 27:21
“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.
John 19:1
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
This was no ordinary whipping. The Journal of the American Medical Association describes the Roman practice of scourging:
'The usual instrument was a short whip (flagrum or flagellum) with several single or braided leather thongs of variable lengths, in which small iron balls or sharp pieces of sheep bones were tied at intervals. . . . As the Roman soldiers repeatedly struck the victim’s back with full force, the iron balls would cause deep contusions, and the leather thongs and sheep bones would cut into the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Then, as the flogging continued, the lacerations would tear into the underlying skeletal muscles and produce quivering ribbons of bleeding flesh.
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
King of the Jews - King of Kings
Revelation 19:13-16
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Next week's Interactive Prayer Room is called the Way of the Cross and it is a journey with Christ through His last hours on the Villa de la Rosa or the Way of the Suffering. There are interactive activities and times of reflections as you move through the room and listen to the Spirit.
This year there is one at the Rockwall Campus, Town East Campus and Fire Wheel Campus! The hours are on the website. Rockwall's are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Check for the other campuses.
For me, the time I've spent in an Interactive Prayer Room has been soothing to my spirit, a real time of communion with the Lord. The Way of the Cross will give us an opportunity to reflect on just what Jesus did on our behalf.
Monday, April 2- Friday April 6 / 8 am – 8 pm
Room A122 / Rockwall Campus
Join us for an amazing prayer experience that will draw you closer to Christ as we celebrate His Life, Death & Resurrection.
