PRAYER SERVICE

YES, like many of you leaders and pastors dread a Wednesday night prayer service? Why? We spend little time praying and much on bible study. I'm not opposed to bible study time but don't call it a prayer service when we spend minutes on prayer. Can I get an AMEN here??

Last night, LifeSong had its first prayer service. It was so different, here were the elements:

• Lighting was down
• People came into an environment where it was intense
• Music was playing
• Opened the service with a call to repentence
• Pray over specific needs (not grandma's cousins uncle's father-in-law ......you get the point)
• We prayer walked
• We experienced group prayer with guidance from prayer leaders
• Everyone got a prayer journal with a challenge to double their time in prayer

We involved many different environments with a common purpose ......... the awareness of PRAYER.

Next month, we are doing something entirely different. I will tell you about it later. So, pastors and leaders, if we really believe that prayer is the power then let's call God's people together for an intense time of prayer.
