Prayer & Intercessory

Role

Our role is to:

  • Meet regularly for prayer and intercession and standing as watchmen for God’s people.
    I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You, who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest” (Isaiah 62:6)

  • Organise and conduct corporate prayer for the church and participate in town wide prayer initiatives so that the church of God is established and the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18)
                  
  • Encourage and support people to love God and others with an unconditional love:
    Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength… Love your neighbour as yourself” (Mark 12:30-31)

 

Vision
In line with Jesus’ command, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20)

My vision for the Prayer and Intercession Team is to pray that this command becomes a reality.     
  In addition, we want to seek God for a spiritual awakening and revival in our lives, families, churches, and community so that the words of  in Joel 2: 28-32  and Acts 2: 17 – 21 will become a reality:

“And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; yea, and on my menservants and my maidservants in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke; the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and manifest day. And it shall be that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
