Change Your World Through Prayer Part 2 By Keith Cook
"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalms 46:10
If you want to do something at the end of the year that can affect your neighborhood or a needy neighborhood that God has put on you heart then On The Go's Strategic Points Prayer shows you how you can change your world through Prayer!
The following can be done at each site or pick a different emphasis for each site! You can pick one for each of the four sites and have a different family or team member lead at each site. At the sites:
1. Pray for the Lost
2. Pray for Churches & those doing Good in the area
3. Pray against Sin - Strongholds - Satan
4. Pray for the Team
Now that you have decided to try something new here are some key observations that can help you and your family or ministry team actually do this ministry activity to start your new year in a spiritual way.
Why Strategic Points Prayer
1. To bind the Devil and expose spiritual strongholds.
2. To unify your family in the outreach or you team that is helping you.
3. To inspire courage and hope.
4. To begin the process of taking back an area for God.
5. To set the focus of the outreach project on God and His power and not the resources and wisdom of man (or the team).
6. To help the team see the total victory that needs to be won: the lost saved, strongholds broken down, church unity stressed, the team needs, strength, etc...
7. Strategic Points Prayer shows clearly that the outreach project is part of a grand process that God has had in motion since the foundation of time.
Strategic Points Prayer Notes
1. This is not prayer walking!
2. Do not be ashamed or afraid to be very vocal, excited and animated. (Raise hands, shout, sing, etc.)
3. Have fun and relax.
4. Pray and listen to God as He speaks to you!
5. Follow the four suggested "Pray For" steps in order.
6. If you go to more than four spots you can have other emphasis at each spot: hospital - sick, government building - leaders, tourist spot - tourists, athletic field - athletes, school - teachers & students, business center - business owners, factory- workers, market - merchants, orphanage - orphans, slums - poor & needy, mall - families.
7. Don't just drive by the sites and pray while moving or while sitting in a vehicle! Get out and get on site! Walk around and get the feel of the site and really seek God's will for your time there.
8. Take your time and do not get in a hurry.
9. After each prayer site ask for key insights, observations, and visions. Write them down and add them to your prayer list.
10. As you go from site to site people may ask what you are doing. Tell them! You may want to invite them to join you.
11. At each site be nice to those around you and you can invite them to join in the prayer time.
12. Forty-five minutes to two hours is plenty of time to cover all sites. Watch out for fatigue and exhaustion!
