quotes from Chapter 43 The Meaning of "A House of Prayer" by Dennis Fuqua
"Whenever we alter God's plan with our plans both God and people are robbed. We have made His house a house of teaching, a house of activities, a house of fellowship, a house of music, etc. These are good things, but God still desires His house to be a house of prayer."
"When we think of the comments of both Isaiah and Jesus about God's house being a house of prayer for all nations, we no longer need to look for a special place, nor are we to point people to a special place. As His people, whether we are gathered or scattered, we are to be that place. We are to be His house. We are to be a place where relationship with God flows very naturally through prayer. And we are to be a place where others ("foreigners") are invited and assisted to a relationship with God through prayer.
