Our Breakthrough Moment Awaits - Dec 2025
Inspired by the desperate faith of a blind beggar, discover the power of a cry that heaven cannot ignore.
INVITATION COPY:
Have you been waiting for a change that never comes? Feeling silenced by doubt, circumstance, or the voices around you?
There comes a moment when desperation meets divine opportunity. It’s the moment to drown out the voices of doubt, fear, and judgment, and to make one, persistent cry to the only One who can stop everything for you.
This December, we are gathering as a family of faith to cry out together. Inspired by the desperate faith of Blind Bartimaeus, we believe that our persistent prayers can unlock deliverance for ourselves, our families, our communities, our churches and the countries.
You are solemnly invited to our monthly intercessory prayer gathering..
Theme: "The Persistent Cry: From Desperation to Deliverance"
Date: Saturday, 6th December 2025
Time:7:00 AM (We start the day in His presence)
Venue: BCC The Church
Key Scripture Reflection: Mark 10:46-52
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked... “Rabbi, I want to see.”
In this sacred hour, we will:
· CRY OUT with the desperate, honest faith of Bartimaeus.
· BREAK THROUGH the noise of discouragement and peer pressure.
· BELIEVE for the moment Jesus STOPS and calls us forward.
· RECEIVE our sight and discover The Way, The Truth, and The Life for abundant living.
This is more than a prayer meeting. It is a divine appointment.
Come and bring your deepest need. Let your faith rise. Let your one cry be the catalyst for the deliverance of a lifetime and a testimony that leads our community to the abundant life promised by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Don't let this moment pass you by.
"Many told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more..." - Mark 10:48
WE HAVE ONE CRY. HE HAS ONE ANSWER.
In His Service,
BCC The Church
Where faith meets life, and prayers meet power....

• This miracle mentioned in Mt, Mk and Lk.
• From Jericho to Jerusalem
• The Blind beggar Bartimaeus s/o Timaeus.
• He knows his condition - situation - as per his custom he was sitting at the roadside and begging.
• But he heard it was Jesus of Nazareth- This was the popular designation of the Messiah. He may have heard of the recent resurrection of Lazarus, which took place in his own neighbourhood
• One Prayer- Jesus, S/o David- The political name of Jesus - The Messiah - have pity on me. Mercy, Have mercy on me. Deal kindly with me. He used the political name of the Jesus! In Mt 9:27, 2 Blind men call Jesus similarly. In Mt 15:22, a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him by using the same name.
• He shouted - he begun to shout - cried aloud.
• Many told him to be quite- stop shouting- yelled him - be quiet- scolded him for making so much of a disturbance.. prayer will disturb the enemy.. ..
• But he cried out even louder. Son of David have pity on me...Mercy, have mercy on me.. in my affliction heal me. Have mercy now. Heal me.. .
• Jesus stopped. Prayer stops Jesus.. Jesus stops his tracks. He used different name (Son of David) than Jesus of Nazareth. He asked differently than money but mercy.
• Jesus sends the message - call him over.. tell him to come here....
• The crowd reaction - Do not be afraid- He is calling for you. Cheers up - this is your day -
• Bartimaeus reaction - threw off his coat, beggar's' cloak - cast away his garment- situation & condition - he jumped, sprang up - he was on his feet at once - no time to waste - ran to Jesus.
• Jesus - What do you want me to do for you? 9 words is the outcome of Intercessory prayer.... what can I do for you ? 6 words is the result of Intercession.
• Bartimaeus- Rabbi, I want to see....let me recover my sight.. Robboni let me regain my sight - my master - my teacher - I want to see again.
• Jesus - you may go - your eyes are healed because of your faith....your faith has made you well. Your confident trust in My Power made you well. Your faith has saved and healed you. Your faith heals you. Go in peace, with your sight restored.
• In that moment - in that instant - immediately - he was able to see. At once he could see again.
• Double blessings - Eyesight to see the things and Insight to follow Jesus. Recovered and followed. Walked with Jesus down the Road....

Summary
A Look Back & A Call Forward: Intercessory Prayer at BCC
As we reflect on 2025, we give thanks for every moment spent in God’s presence. Our final Intercessory Prayer Gathering for the year was a powerful conclusion, where 17 faithful intercessors united to stand in the gap. The cry of our hearts echoed the theme: "The Persistent Cry: From Desperation to Deliverance," based on Mark 10:46-52.
The Lord met us profoundly, revealing key truths through prayer, worship, and sharing:
1. Christ in Us, Our Hope: We anchored in Colossians 1:27—the glorious mystery of "Christ in you, the hope of glory." This is our power source and our promise of fullness.
2. The Power of One: Reflecting on Jeremiah 5 and Abraham's example, we felt God's call to be the "one" who stands in the gap through prayer and submission, that whole communities might find mercy (Isaiah 66; Ezekiel 22:30).
3. A Present God for a Critical Time: Hebrews 1:1-2 reminded us that "in these last days he has spoken to us"—now is our time to listen, respond, and participate in His work.
4. The Language of Faithful Asking: We reflected on Blind Bartimaeus, who, when Jesus asked "What do you want me to do for you?", spoke the language of faith with a clear, specific request: "I want to see." His boldness led to a double blessing: not only physical eyesight but the spiritual insight to immediately follow Jesus down the road. This challenges us to ask God specifically and faithfully in our prayers.
5. A Prophetic Picture: One of our young adults, Naomi, shared a poignant image received during prayer: a hand sanitizer, symbolizing our continual need for spiritual cleansing and preparedness to be used by God.
6. A Song of the Heart: The worship song "Hear My Cry" deeply moved the gathering, perfectly capturing our theme of desperate, faithful petition.
7. A Call to Active Consecration: We were challenged from Psalm 51:10-13 to break all excuses, repent, and optimize the gifts God has given us, so that from clean hearts we might teach others and restore joy.
8. The Power of Our Words: Emphasizing Proverbs 18:21, we committed to speak life and frame our world with God's Word, understanding that because of us, others can be saved and blessed.
9. Prayers for the Nations & Our Community: We lifted up nations in South Asia recovering from storms and interceded for God’s intervention in our government, marketplace, workplaces, and families.
10. God’s Open Invitation: We closed holding onto the promise of Jeremiah 33:3, that He will answer and show us "great and unsearchable things."
11. Gratitude for 2025: We thanked God for every one of the approximately 20 hours we poured out our hearts in war cries this year, trusting Him to make a difference.
You were part of something significant. Your prayers matter. Your presence makes a difference.
Let’s carry this momentum into 2026! As we step into the new year, let us ask for God's specific guidance, that He may lead us in even bigger ways. May our lives, like Bartimaeus's, receive double blessings—clarity for our path and the insight to follow Him closely—making us more beneficial for His kingdom in 2026 and beyond.
Merry Christmas and a Hopeful New Year 2026!
We look forward to seeing you—and the one God is calling—at our first Intercessory Prayer Gathering of 2026:
