Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer

by Rick and Patricia Ridings

Overview

Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer emphasizes that the main thing is not houses of prayer, or shifting cities or nations. It's not even worship or prayer. The main thing is the Lord Himself. It's only His Presence that can change a city or nation in lasting ways. This book seeks to help prepare a dwelling place for Him in your city and nation - and in our hearts.

About the Author

Rick and Patricia Ridings are based in Jerusalem, where they founded and lead Succat Hallel, a ministry that lifts up worship and intercession, 24 hours a day from their facility overlooking the Temple Mt. and Mt. Zion. Succat Hallel is known for youth worship and training bringing together hundreds of Jewish, Arab, and Palestinian youth. They have ministered extensively encouraging houses of prayer across the Middle East. Rick and Patricia are considered leaders in the global prayer and worship movement. Their passion is to see a generation raised up that will give themselves fully in love and ministry to the Lord and who will serve the purposes of God in their generation. Rick and Patricia have ministered on GOD TV, TBN, CBN, and in over 40 nations, speaking for churches, conferences, Bible and leadership training schools. They have three daughters, all in worship ministry, two of them on earth, and one in heaven. They have fourteen grandchildren. www.succathallel.com

Editorial Reviews

Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer, by Rick and Patricia Ridings, is a powerful book for every believer to read, especially those wanting to begin a ministry. In their founding Succat Hallel, God gave the revelation that it was not just about starting a house of prayer, but rather birthing it, in line with the timing and vision of God. Rick and Patricia's journey and lessons learned are a guide full of great wisdom for any type of pioneer work in the Kingdom.

Many of our Iris Global teams, including our last several Harvest Schools, have spent time praying at Succat Hallel. The presence of God is so strong there, we always want to stay for hours worshipping and praying while overlooking Jerusalem. I live in Mozambique, but I consider Israel another one of my home countries because my heart is so impacted each time I visit and pray there. I highly recommend reading this book and praying at Succat Hallel.

Heidi G. Baker, PhD, Co-founder and Chairman, Iris Global, Mozambique

I have known my friends Rick and Patricia Ridings for over twenty-five years. They are recognized elders in the global prayer movement who have the tested experience, biblical knowledge, and spiritual authority to write a book such as Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer.

This is not theory from novices. This book offers wisdom that can be gained only by a persevering lifestyle of long-term commitment to Jesus, and through costly experience. Anyone who can establish and sustain 24/7 prayer and worship in Jerusalem through the years of suicide bombings and other terrorist activities has clearly persevered in the faith and obedience required to give an authoritative voice to the truths in this book.

The authors provide practical insights and inspiring stories to help those who are called to pioneer a house of prayer in a challenging area with small numbers of local believers to serve with them. They also offer invaluable guidelines to those called to minister in other cultures.

Their book shares insights that are as precious jewels concerning Israel, the Middle East, and governmental intercession that will encourage more effective intercession from those who want to personally mature in their prayer lives.

I encourage you to read and meditate on this book, which I believe will minister deeply across cultures and generations.

Mike Bickle, Founder and Director, International House of Prayer, Kansas City

I am grateful for those who serve faithfully and sacrificially in essential roles of leadership. Rick and Patricia Ridings' commitment to the house of prayer movement undergirds all other endeavors.

They have been loving, patient and wise. They have overcome great difficulties and become a shining example to us all.

John Dawson, President Emeritus, Youth With A Mission

There is simply no book like this one, written by Rick and Patricia Ridings, on how to shake a nation through 24-hours-a-day prayer. It is both a training manual for around-the-clock intercession, and an invitation to become an intimate lover of God. I love this book, and you will too!

Dr. Cindy Jacobs, Founder, Generals International

Our friends, Rick and Patricia Ridings of Succat Hallel, are a huge blessing to the house of prayer movement in Jerusalem and worldwide. We thank God for the wonderful unity we have in the prayer movement in Israel, and with the hundreds of congregations in Israel, and the thirty Isaiah 19 Highway nations.

We highly recommend Shifting Nations Through Houses of Prayer, for all who have a heart to see changes in their own lives, families, cities and nations.

Tom and Kate Hess, Jerusalem House of Prayer for All Nations, Mount of Olives, Israel
