  “The Holy Spirit is given to the believer to be and to do everything in him that God wants him to be and do. The Spirit is given to him especially as the Spirit of prayer and supplication. Is it clear that everything in prayer depends on our trusting the Holy Spirit to do His work in us? We must yield ourselves to His leading and depend only and entirely upon Him.”

The Ministry of Intercession

  Fifth Guideline of Prayer: Worship
Jun 05, 2007

We enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, magnifying the Lord before we begin to make requests of Him. The exhortation of the Psalmist is to enter into the presence of the Lord with an attitude of worship.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4

Too often, we rush into the presence of God with intercession. We are filled with the burden of needs. There are times, when this is...

  Fourth Guideline of Prayer: Praying in One Accord
Jun 04, 2007

Where agreement in prayer means we affirm the prayers of one another in the presence of the Father, praying in one accord means that we honor one another’s prayer concerns by giving it special attention.

We pray for one request at a time, allowing other members of the group to pray for that same request. We then move on to another request as the Spirit leads. The Apostle Paul exhorted the Philippian believers to be one in all that they do.

If you have any encouragemen...

  Third Guideline of Prayer: Spirit Led Prayer
Jun 03, 2007

The following is an explanation of the third of five Prayer Guidelines used by many small prayer gatherings to encounter the Father together: Spirit Led Prayer

We listen for the Holy Spirit’s prompting. If a song comes to mind, sing it. If a verse of scripture comes to mind, quote it or read it aloud. As the Apostle Paul exhorted the Ephesian believers to put on the armor of God he also instructed them to pray in the Spirit.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions wi...

  Second Guideline of Prayer: Praying in Jesus’ Name
Jun 02, 2007

This is a second guideline for praying with other believers. It is another way to make sure that, in the process of praying for specific requests time does not slip away and you have lots of sharing and caring but very little praying.
As we agree with one another in prayer, we have promises from Jesus that He will act in a powerful way in answer to the request. When instructing His disciples how to pray for someone who had sinned against a brother and refused to repent, Jesus promised that ...

  First Guideline of Prayer: Praying in Jesus’ Name
Jun 01, 2007

How many times have you been part of a small group and the leader says, “Tonight we have an hour for prayer and share. Are there any prayer requests?” Fifty-five minutes later the leader looks at his watch and says, “My, where has the time gone?” He reminds the group to pray for the requests through the week and then asks one of the group members to close the time in prayer.

Lots of share and very little prayer!

Unfortunately this is the experience of many smal...
