1H In the church as a house of prayer, we pray in an executing way, binding on earth what has been bound in heaven and loosing on earth what has been loosed in heaven; this is the prayer of the Body; we can have this kind of prayer only when we ask “in harmony” — 18:18-19.
2I In the church as a house of prayer, we may participate in Christ’s interceding life, praying at the center of the divine administration — Rev. 8:3; Heb. 7:25; Rom. 8:26-27, 34.
3J The central subject and goal of prayer in the house of prayer are to prepare a glorious church for Christ, a church that will match Him and fulfill the desire of His heart — Eph. 1:5, 9; 3:14-21; 5:27.
4K The Lord’s recovery is to build up Zion — the reality of the Body of Christ consummating in the New Jerusalem — and we reach Zion by praying in the church as a house of prayer — 4:16; Rev. 14:1; 21:2.
