DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRAYER • Adoration • Petition/Supplication • Confession • Thanksgiving • Declaration • Intercession
INTERCESSION • Act of standing in the gap and intervening on behalf of another • Intercessors don’t just pray; they make requests, urge, plead, counsel, discuss, risk, sacrifice and make war on issues relating to others, often weaker ones • Intercessors fulfill a two-fold purpose • Seek divine intervention from God • Destroy the works of the enemy
WHY IS PRAYER SO IMPORTANT • God is in charge;He’s not in control • He is the KING, He REIGNS • He has the right to exercise His SOVEREIGNTY at any point • He does not regulate all decisions made • He allows us to exercise our free will to make our own choices
WHY IS PRAYER SO IMPORTANT • Prayer invites Heaven’s influence and brings the supernatural into the earthly realm by opening up a portal for His Kingdom to come • Prayer gives us the enabling power and faith to align our choices with His will • Prayer allows us to affect the outcome of situations in other people’s lives
POWER OF AGREEMENT IN PRAYER • Agreement with God • Agreement with Others • Agreement with Leadership • Agreement with our Victories
AGREEMENT WITH GOD 1 JOHN 5:14-15 (NIV) “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us − whatever we ask − we know that we have what we asked of Him.”
AGREEMENT WITH GOD ROMANS 8:26,27 (NIV) In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.
AGREEMENT WITH OTHERS MATTHEW 18:19-20 (NIV) “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in Heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
AGREEMENT WITH OTHERS MATTHEW 18:19-20 (The Message Bible) “Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven. What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in Heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of Me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.”
AGREEMENT WITH LEADERSHIP MATTHEW 8:5-10 (NIV) When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, asking for help, “Lord, he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”
AGREEMENT WITH LEADERSHIP The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
AGREEMENT WITH LEADERSHIP When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.”
AGREEMENT WITH OUR VICTORIES 1 CORINTHIANS 15:57 (NIV) “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
