Awaken: Praying for Our City | Jason Elsmore
Manage episode 499324880 series 3472117
What breaks your heart when you look at your city?
In this message, Jason Elsmore challenges us to move beyond comfort and complacency and to engage deeply with the brokenness around us. Drawing from Nehemiah 1, Jason explores how proximity to pain awakens prayer, and how ordinary people—like Nehemiah, a public servant—can shape the future of a city through intercession.
Whether you're in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Goondiwindi, or watching from anywhere in the world, this message invites you to stand in the gap for your community. Jason reminds us that we have access to a King—Jesus—who hears, responds, and moves when we pray.
Key Themes:
- Awakening the Church across Australia
- The power of proximity to pain
- Interceding for cities with compassion, not judgment
- Standing on God’s covenant promises
- Being positioned by God to pray with purpose
Nehemiah 1:4–11"Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God... let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying..."
Let’s not get numb to the numbers. Let’s pray for transformation, revival, and healing in our cities.
