Training Points

Mark 11:23-25 AMP
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and [let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.

John 15:4-5 AMP
Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

Heart to Heart
Keep watch over your heart because what you do as an intercessor has consequence. This is an alert to take a look inward to our hearts constantly--especially before we come into the prayer room Sunday morning. If we are harboring anything from unforgiveness, hardness of heart to constant thinking that is contrary to God's way, and we then bring that into the corporate prayer room, it's going to come out. It has no choice. We have to have a clean slate when we come so we can pray out what the Lord wants. As we do that we'll see more and more the manifestation happening in service and our lives. So understand that what comes into the prayer room with you, whatever you are dealing with, if you do not lay it at the alter and allow the Lord to mold and shape your heart--it will get in like yeast and filtrate through our global Body. That sounds big, but remember Romans and how that little pinch can ruin the whole batch.

Yes, we're human, we stumble all time. However, if the condition of our heart is continually like the heart of David and quick to repent then we'll be continually becoming like Christ. Therefore, it is so critical to stay humble, prostrate, accountable one to another, and submitted to Pastor and our leadership. It's absolutely vital because prayer is at the core of everything that manifests in this Body. It is the rudder for the people in the Body. It turns the ship which way it's going to go. Everyone here has seen the very things that have been prayed out in this prayer room manifest in service. It has nothing to do with us, but rather it's about us yielding and giving place to the Holy Ghost so He gets vessels to completely and totally pray out what He has to get done. He can't do anything unless He has a voice to declare it and hands to get it done.

Being watchmen on the wall carries responsibility, and we must fully comprehend the ministry that goes on in the prayer room. As we come to understand our position as watchmen--constantly watching for the protection of the camp--we we will understand that it's not about us anymore but about every single person that walks through that door today, tomorrow and the global Body as a whole.


[READING]
The following is an excerpt from the book, "The Walk of the Spirit-The Walk of Power" by Dave Robison.
We cannot actively pray for the salvation of souls and for revival without attracting the devil's attention. Paul warned us about an impending war in Ephesians 6. He said, "Look, we don't wrestle against flesh and blood; we aren't fighting with a sword or a spear. But the war is just as real. We wrestle against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12).

Therefore, you have to determine to stand steadfast in intercession, cooperating all the time with the Holy Spirit's mortification process that continues within. As you edify and build yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, you will attain a place in the Spirit where God can literally pour the deep intercessional groanings through you. That's when incredible, mega-amounts of Holy Ghost power begin to be released.

This level of intercession also attracts powers and principalities to challenge your authority. These demonic powers will move in on you with the vengeance of a freight train. Their target will be any weaknesses or character flaws that they can use to stop and destroy you, such as your susceptibility to ungodly lusts or just plain procrastination.

That's the reason the months and months of edification through praying in tongues are so important. During that time, the Holy Spirit edifies your reborn human spirit to put to death any forces of the flesh giving the devil authority and power to hinder and control your life. He builds your spirit to such a place of spiritual maturity that the enemy can't stop you.

Once you have reached that place of enduring prayer, the Holy Spirit will begin to activate incredible waves of glory - power that floods over your soul in the form of supernatural joy and hilarious laughter.

These waves of glory are enjoyed by people who have mastered the art of enduring prayer and are being used by God to rescue others from physical disaster or eternal hell. The supernatural joy and laughter is a report from the realm of the Spirit that faith has obtained the answer; something has changed, and it will soon be manifested in the natural realm.



The Prayer Pulse

Romans 8:26 AMP
So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance., And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.

Isaiah 55:11-12 AMP
For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 41:17-18 AMP
The poor and needy are seeking water when there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them., I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
