Prayer guidelines
Spirit Led
As we pray, we listed 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 out loud.
Ephesians 6:18
"Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints."
Agreeing Prayer
We recognize that 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.
Matthew 18:19
Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Praying in Jesus' Name
When we pray in Jesus' name, we remind ourselves of the source of authority for answered prayer.
John 16:24
"Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full."
Worship
We enter His gates thanksgiving and his courts with praise, magnifying the Lord before we begin to make requests of Him.
Psalm 100:4
"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name."
