When I was seven years old, I had an encounter with the Lord on a mountaintop in New Mexico.  In those amazing moments we talked together in a way I had never talked to anyone before. At the end, I asked Him how I could meet Him like that again.  "Just pray," He replied.

And so began my journey as an intercessor.  Through the years and along the way, prayer became a passion. It wasn't a meeting or a moment.  It was a life - a verb! 

One day as I was talking with Him, He asked me to define prayer.  "To touch your heart and remember; to release your heart and never forget"  I answered.  "Good," said He. "Now read 1 Thessalonians 5:17."

"Pray without ceasing."  Three simple words.  Two big commands.  

Cessors are a people who will touch and release His heart without ceasing.  They are those who will pray the covenant and not the condition. The ones who will be the thermostat, not the thermometer.  They are us!!  

 

The term Cessor was coined by my daughter Allie when I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up.  "I want to be a Cessor!  I just wanna pray about everything." The girl gets it!!

My heart is that Cessors will give you a place to visit for encouragement, insight and ideas on how to dive deeper into phenomenal life changing, world redeeming prayer.  When you create an account (it's free), you will be able to access media files including the newly released "Covenant Cessors".   And, check back often for the Parapet Blog.  I'll be updating it weekly (if not more) with ideas for praying for your marriage and family.  The blog will be filled with revelation on pursuing daily bread, praying the covenants Pappa intended, instead of  the condition around you and fun, creative ideas for celebrating the feast of the Lord.

All for Him,

Shar
