Outline for Intercessory Prayer Format - GKPP

1 Outline for Intercessory Prayer Format In this Prayer Format , we use the prayers of the apostles or prophetic promises (and/or decrees) to engage in intercession. We use the apostolic prayers to intercede for revival (general outpouring/visitation of the Spirit) on the whole church across the city (region) that the Lord highlights. We use the prophetic promises or decrees to pray for specific needs (warfare themes) that the Holy Spirit highlights. We focus on specific targets locally, nationally, or internationally according to the following WARFARE THEMES: cultural strongholds (murder, sorceries, immorality, thefts), crisis events, political issues, church issues, salvation of Israel, economic issues, family issues.

2 This is a suggested guideline and may be deviated from as we discern the Spirit's leading. Example Prayer room set Worship Cycle 1: 35 Minutes intercession. A) 15 Min. of Worship (3 worship songs). B) 3-5 Min. spontaneous singing C) 10 Min. Intercession ( Prayer leader responsible). At this time, the Prayer leader invites people to bring a biblical Prayer or prophetic promise (and/or decree) to pray on the mic. Invite them to check in near you (sit in front row, perhaps) so that we know that they are ready. Let them know that they can pray as short as 1 minute or as long as 5 minutes and that they have the option to involve the singers or not to.

3 If they choose to use them, they just need to pause to make room for them to sing. Worship Cycle 2: 15 Minutes intercession A) 5 Min. of Worship (one worship song). B) 3-5 Min. spontaneous singing C) 5 Min. Intercession Worship Cycles 3-7 5-7 Minutes - different intercessors from the room A) 3-5 Min. - Worship songs with option of spontaneous singing (worship time proportionate to intercession time). B) 3-5 Min. - 1-2 prayers offered consecutively (if several intercessors have come forth). Worship Cycle 8: 5-7 Minutes Intercession for the Sick A) 3-5 Min. Worship songs then spontaneous singing B) 3-5 Min.

4 Invite all who are sick to signify their desire for Prayer by raising hand direct some to pray for the sick on the Prayer board (they do not have to walk up to the board). (worship team continues softly with worship songs and/or singers sing prayers over the sick.). Worship Cycle 9: 5-7 Minutes Intercession for the Nations A) 3-5 Min. of warring in the Spirit and/or Worship songs, then spontaneous singing B) 5 Min. Prayer for revival for a city or nations in the 10-40 Window - (assistant Prayer leader responsible). Worship Cycle 10: 12 Minutes Voluntary Small group Prayer ( Prayer leader responsible).

5 A) 5 Min. of Worship B) 5-7 Min. Voluntary Small group Prayer (pray for any Prayer burden the lost, sick, upcoming ministry trip or visiting ministries). (The worship team continues softly with corporate worship songs). I. PRINCIPLES FOR INTERCESSION (MAY INVOLVE THE SINGERS OR NOT). A. Pray through a biblical sentence from a biblical Prayer (2-4 verse stanza). Pray for up to 5 minutes without singers if you want. Go longer if others are not in line to pray. B. Isolating a phrase pray for 1-2 minutes before exercising the option (by pausing) to give room for the prophetic singers to develop the isolated phrase by antiphonal singing.

6 The Prayer leader isolates a phrase by clearly designating (echoing) one key phrase from the biblical sentence that the prophetic singers may develop by singing around it. If the Prayer leader wants to involve the singers then he/she simply pauses to let them sing and then continues to offer short prayers that flow in an antiphonal way with the singers. C. Develop the themes through antiphonally praying (singing) (5 mins.) the prophetic singers and Prayer leader seek to develop themes from the isolated phrase. The singers sing short (5-10 seconds) songs to enhance the theme of the isolated phrase.

7 D. Spontaneous choruses The chorus leader and/or worship leader establishes spontaneous choruses for all to sing (8-10 times) at any time after the Prayer leader isolates a phrase. Note War in the Spirit (3-5 minutes) by praying (singing) in the Spirit in intercession as Prayer leader proclaims key words from the isolated phrases.. II. VOLUNTARY SMALL GROUP Prayer (APPROX 5-7 MINUTES). Prayer leader invites (without pressure) all who want to participate in a small group of 4-5 to stand to indicate their desire to participate. They pray for any burden on their heart.
