Nineteen Prayer Strategies, Four Words

Envisioning the God-sized reality from His heart and co-laboring to pray it into being under His direction. This is the first strategy and the frame for all the others.

The role of intimacy with God in igniting movements to Christ — prayer as two-way conversation rather than a list read aloud.

Raising up, equipping and partnering in prayer, so that prayer belongs to a community rather than resting on one person.

Identifying and relating to personal and corporate intercessory teams that strengthen the effectiveness and fruitfulness of the worker. Moses had Aaron and Hur.

Spirit-guided research into the supernatural underpinnings of reality to help produce more informed, effective intercession and outreach.

A short prophetic prayer session offered over an individual or field team by trained intercessors.

Healing the wounds of the past by identifying with historical sins, weakening strongholds through the release of forgiveness.

Prayer strategists embedded in crisis response teams help identify the spiritual dynamics at work, communicate updates, and draw on the wider prayer shield.

Raising the waterline of God’s manifest presence through worship — engaging with God, proclaiming His will, exercising His delegated authority.

Personal restoration and transformation, healing and deliverance, conflict resolution, confession and forgiveness — for individuals, teams and the growing body of Christ.

Suffering is an inevitable part of following Christ. A dynamic walk with God sustains us through it and testifies to the power of God at work in our lives.

We carry His presence as we move prayer out of the church and the home and into the street, the market and the neighborhood.

Focused, strategized prayer as a direct force for winning people to Christ, with signs and wonders often following the proclamation of the Word.

Taking authority over the spiritual powers and strongholds that hinder the advance of God’s kingdom.

Setting aside good things voluntarily to prioritize the best things. Fasting quiets the appetite by choosing to hunger and thirst for God alone.

Establishing permanent lighthouses of continuous prayer and worship as a beachhead for the kingdom of God.

Pressing forward with perseverance and anticipation, longing for the promised return of our Beloved.

Pressing forward to grow into the full measure of the stature of Jesus Christ.

Pressing forward with urgency to reap the white harvest, that the Lamb who was slain would receive His full reward.

Pressing forward in modeling kingdom living, that our communities would be covered with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.
