PRAYERS, PLATES, PASSION AND PURITY!


Passion and Purity hosted their Inaugural Prayer Breakfast on Saturday July 13, 2024

at the Summit Hotel. Members/reps, partners, youth, and other supporters gathered

and the powerful presence of God manifested in our midst as the morning proceeded.

It proved a mighty kingdom move; that they are first of all sanctioned by The King

Himself, and executed by His Spirit through the unity of hearts in prayer and the

word, as they co-labour with Him. 


Indeed, the event was a literal product and demonstration of its theme “Strategic

Prayer” which may be summed as prayers that are first of all Spirit led/initiated,

according to the will of God, and therefore guaranteed His answer. It is also hearing

and moving real time with God’s instructions.


So, who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too?? Not true! At least not if this

cake is the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit. We were being supernaturally fed and

strengthened by He who continually dwells in us, He who is Life . He strongly rested

upon us; from the beginning and all throughout the proceedings. There were three

praise and worship segments, two of which were led by Minister Andrea McCurdy,

the other being a team of Passion and Purity Praisers. Each segment was like a rich

filling, that bonded multiple layers of other expressions of ministry.


Make no mistakes, prayers were just as refreshing and impactful. They were

prophetic, intercessory cries for  families, youth, missions, the nation, leaders of all

kinds, Passion and Purity and other youth ministries, even other intercessors.

The prayers were also passionate outpourings from pure hearts that were surely heard

(got God’s attention) and because of this we are guaranteed that He will answer. This

is the hallmark of strategic prayers. 


Breakfast, (Jamaican dishes such as mackerel rundown, ackee and saltfish, stewed

chicken, ground provisions and fried dumplings, along with an assortment of options

teas as well as cool fruit juices) was seamlessly served in a timely intermission

between times of prayer. Just before we ate, Passion and Purity Dancers took the stage

moving to “Here’s My Worship”; sending the message/reminder that all we do unto

God in our lives is worship and should be filled with fervent prayers, praises, and

thanksgiving. A vibrant and encouraging video presentation of sixteen years in review

of the host ministry’s work and achievements was shown while everyone dined.

On the heels of food and fellowship, were more strides in the Spirit as strategic

prayers were lifted up. Subsequently, we soared another level in praise and worship

just before Mr. Duane Taylor came with an eagle eye exhortation on Strategic Prayer.

Needless to say, the message paved the way for a sober, steady landing in the word of

God. 


One takeaway from what he shared was our need as believers to seek God’s

perspective so we can target root issues in prayers instead of tackling symptoms. He

also assured us that prayer is a lifestyle we are called to as children of God and it

requires much humility, discipline, and sacrifice if we are to pray effectively. Much of

what He shared bore witness to the word that we (Passion and Purity) had been

partaking of in private group settings via whatsapp for many weeks prior.

We give all glory and thanks to God for this awesome milestone! Soon, it will be three

weeks since and we are still basking in and building on this move of God. Many

thanks to all those who served and supported. If you missed it, you can find a

recording on our YouTube channel “Passion and Purity Jamaica”. 

We do hope you will be with us for the next one but until then we encourage you to

connect and join/partner with us as we make other moves to invest in our youth,

teaching them to find their passion and embrace their purity in and only through Jesus

Christ…the true strategy for success.
