NEW HOPE PRAYER & WORSHIP CENTER
“A House of Prayer”
THESE TIMES THAT WE LIVE IN ARE DIFFICULT ONES AND WE KNOW THAT ALL OF US ARE CARRYING BURDENS, SOMETIMES UNSPOKEN, FOR OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF PRAYER IN OUR LIVES AND BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT YOU, WE WOULD LOVE TO LIFT YOUR TROUBLES THROUGH PRAYER AS WELL. THERE IS NO PRAYER REQUEST TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL! WE ARE HAPPY TO PRAY WITH YOU, OR IF YOU’D RATHER, YOU CAN FILL OUT A PRAYER REQUEST ANONYMOUSLY AND DROP THAT OFF IN THE HOPE CHEST BOUTIQUE ENTRYWAY ON THE PRAYER WALL. OUR TEAM REGULARLY PRAYS OVER EACH AND EVERY PRAYERS REQUEST WE RECEIVE. WE HAVE SEEN JESUS MOVE IN MIGHTY WAYS THROUGH THE PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL. AS A COMMUNITY, THIS IS HOW WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER. YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
STEWARDING THE PRESENCE OF GOD
We count it our highest honor to steward the presence of God. This is actually the privilege of every one of His sons and daughters. We want to steward His presence well.
We take the first month of each new year for “Listening” prayer, and write down the things the Lord is speaking to us. We continue with this being a regular part of the Prayer Room rhythm throughout the year. The things the Lord speaks are the things we use in our ministry of intercession for our communities, our state, our nation, Israel, and God's purposes throughout the earth. We want to be intentional in what we pray/speak...it must be what we hear the Lord saying...from first listening for what He is saying. We want to speak only what we hear Him speaking...that's how we know what to pray. Praying the things He speaks, back to Him, ensures that we are praying according to His will. 1 John 5:14-15 says: “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He hears us: and if we know that He hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.”
Oct. 31, 2025 marked the 13 Year Anniversary of the New Hope Prayer Center
It was on Oct. 31, 2012 that we turned on the night and day prayer and worship music, and it has been playing continuously ever since! The New Hope Ministry Staff and Volunteers prayer time is held in the Tabernacle every Wednesday from 8:30 am to Noon.
What is the Prayer & Worship Center?
Why do we combine Prayer and Worship?
God said in Isaiah 56:7, “…for My house shall be called a House of Prayer for all people.”
Acts 15:15-17 says: “And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue (the rest) of men might seek after (search out, investigate, crave, worship) the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom My Name is called, saith the Lord, Who does all these things.” “Upon whom My Name is called” in the Greek means: to entitle; to invoke for aid, worship, decision; appeal to; to call aloud; to call forth.[i] To “invoke” means: to call on for assistance, aid, and protection; as to invoke the Supreme God Most High; to order; to call judicially; as to invoke depositions or evidence into a court.
That Scripture was being quoted from Amos 9:11-12: “In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by My Name, saith the LORD that does this.”
So what is “the tabernacle of David” that the Lord is going to raise back up and reestablish in the last days? It’s not the Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple wasn’t built until Solomon was king. It’s the tabernacle that David set up according to the command of the Lord with the singers and instruments—the continual, day and night, prayer and worship…
The Tabernacle of David in Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:1-37
Davidic Worship wasn’t just something David came up with himself—God instructed him to do it:
2 Chronicles 29:25-36
God’s glory came down upon the Tabernacle: 2 Chronicles 5:11-14; 6:40-41
Scripture reveals God’s desire for Houses of Prayer:
-
The fire (which was a symbol of worship) was to be burning upon the altar continually—never going out (Leviticus 6:13).
-
The Singers were to sing day and night (1 Chronicles 9:33; Psalm 100:1-5; Psalm 47).
-
They were to offer praises to God with instruments (1 Chronicles 23:5; 25:6-7; 150:1).
-
Continual Prayer: “And will not God give justice to His elect, who cry to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them?” (Luke 18:7; Psalm 27:4, 7-8).
-
God asked for watchmen on the walls to put Him in remembrance day and night (Isaiah 62:6-7).
God is restoring this type of Davidic Prayer & Worship in Houses of Prayer all over the earth today. It is a reflection of what is going on around the throne of God in Heaven and what is to come (Revelation 5:8-10).
Right now all across the nations of the earth, the Holy Spirit is orchestrating an end time prayer and worship movement, raising up Houses of Prayer, and using them to help transform society. Although many of the expressions and mandates of the various Houses of Prayer are the same, each House of Prayer is unique and has its own mandates and goals, as well as formats and functions. Each House of Prayer has a specific calling from God, which is unique and necessary for building up the Kingdom of God in the area where they are located. It spans across generational lines and is truly for all nations and all peoples. God desires to move in the affairs of men, but wants to do it with the active involvement of His people.
In this atmosphere of prayer and worship, people experience intimacy with the Lord as well as revelation from Him. God is raising up a global prayer movement, and He desires His Church to function as a House of Prayer to bring in revival and the great harvest. Houses of Prayer and Local Churches need each other to fulfill the great commission, see revival, and prepare for the Lord’s return.
We also want to help worshipers become lovers of God by beholding His glory with a focused gaze. This helps people focus their attention and gaze upon His beauty. As the truths of Who God is are placed before our eyes, our affections are ignited with Biblical passion, from which we get the passion and the power to serve Him (see Isaiah 40:28-31).
Throughout the Scriptures, day and night prayer and worship in the temple was always at the center of God’s plans for reformation. The purpose of the temple was to be first and foremost a place of encounter with God. But the continual prayer and worship was also strategic in the spiritual realm. It does something to the spiritual enemies that battle against us and it does something regarding the angelic warriors of God.
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power” (Ephesians 1:17-19).
