1 PRAYER POINTS for The Gathering, The Youth, The Family, The Church, and The Nations THE GATHERING We declare that we will experience greater intimacy with the Lord through intense worship. John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. We declare that there will be a release of true prophetic words over the intercessors and over the nations. Romans 16:25 27 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen. We declare that there will be such a demonstration of the Spirit and of power that our faith in God is solidified. I Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. We declare that signs, wonders and miracles will be manifested as salvation, healing and deliverance takes place. Acts 19:11 12 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. We declare that the glory of the Lord will fill the sanctuary and the hearts of every believer. 2 nd Chronicles 5:13 14 Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying: For He is good, for His mercy endures forever, that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. We declare that a passion for Christ will be ignited in the hearts of our youth. Isaiah 54:13 All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.

2 THE YOUTH We declare that

3 THE FAMILY We declare that families are delivered from generational curses and experience the freedom of living in generational blessings as a Godly heritage is established in the bloodline. Genesis 12:1 3 Now the LORD had said to Abram: Get out of your country, from your family and from your father s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. We declare that family members, spouses, and parents and children walk together as one, both now and for generations to come. John 17:20 21 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. We declare that our unsaved family members will make the choice to be saved by accepting Christ as their Savior and that our entire family will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. We declare that notable miracles will be experienced in families. Acts 4:16 What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. We declare that every member of our family shall experience physical, emotional, and spiritual stability. I Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We declare that generational wealth is established in Christian families. Deuteronomy 28:11 12 And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

4 THE CHURCH We declare that the Body of Christ is unified as one. John 17:22 23 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. We declare that our commitment to Jesus Christ is becoming deeper, stronger, and more authentic as we experience Him anew. Philippians 3:10 That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death. We declare that the Church is a House of Prayer where effectual, fervent prayer takes place. Isaiah 56:7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. We declare that the Church is a people and a place that the lost and hurting can come to and find refuge, comfort, salvation, healing, and deliverance. Isaiah 25:4 For You have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. We declare that Christ s light shines so brightly through us that people are drawn to us and they come to know Christ through our testimony. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. We declare that the Church lets go of needless traditions that block and hinder the move of God. Matthew 15:6 You have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. We declare that God s glory is evident in the Church by the fruit of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and the power of the Holy Spirit through the manifestation of miracles, signs, and wonders. Isaiah 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

5 THE NATIONS We declare that the nations are open to message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they recognize and accept that there is only one true and living God, and they honor Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior, and King. 2 nd Corinthians 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord. We declare protection and provision for those who go into other nations to spread the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Isaiah 45:1 3 Thus says the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, am the God of Israel. We declare that the vessels that God is using as His mouthpiece in the earth will not be silenced, but they freely speak the truth, boldly declare the Word of God, and without compromise, without hindrance, and without delay, they will prophesy as the Spirit of the Lord gives them utterance. 2 nd Thessalonians 3:1 2 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. We declare that the governmental leaders of the world will receive the prophetic warnings and declarations delivered by the true prophets of God and the nations will obey the Word of the Lord. 1 st Thessalonians 2:13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. We declare that salvation, deliverance, and divine miracles will be manifested as God s change agents go and make disciples in every nation of the earth. Matthew 28:19 20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen. We declare that the 57 nations who are joining together in London for the 2012 Olympics will experience the power of Christ through notable miracles and thousands of people being saved as the glory of the Lord is released over the city. Acts 2:41 43 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
