TL_146 Forming A Prophetic-Prayer Team 6
Posted on February 5, 2012 | No Comments3. False Prophecy There is an important principle of spiritual balance which I want to discuss. “Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do nor treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Do not despise prophecy or take it lightly. Prove or test all things; hold on to that which is good” (1 ths 5:19-21 niv) a. Prove All Things – Hold On To The Good. We are told in this Scripture to appreciate the value of the prophetic word. However, we are... -

Posted on January 29, 2012 | No Comments2. Humility, Not Pride Humility is our safe-guard for human error. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are ever subject or open to human error. We can all make mistakes in this regard. There is always a certain risk when God allows His perfect word to be spoken through imperfect men. But God has provided a way to protect both His servant and His word. There is great safety in humility! Humility in the Gifts of the Spirit is expressed in two ways: a. Willingness to admit we... -

Posted on January 22, 2012 | No CommentsC. PROBLEMS/DANGERS IN PROPHETIC PRAYER As we consider the ministry of prophetic-prayer teams, we need to talk about some dangerous problem area. God’s gifts of grace can be abused in most ungracious ways. We are not to fear our Enemy, but we are to be aware of his clever and tricky ways (2 Cor 2:11). We should not be surprised that something as powerful as teams of prayer would come under his attack. The reason we might expect problems to arise concerning prayer is clearly pictured for us... -

Posted on January 15, 2012 | No Comments3. Six Guidelines The following guidelines have been developed over the years from practical experience with prayer teams around the world. They are not binding rules, but practical suggestions which are based on sound spiritual principles. I believe you will find them helpful: a. Mature Believers. Select six or eight mature believers. These should be persons who are baptized in the Holy Spirit and have learned to use the Gift of Tongues (or prophecy) in prayer. Two married couples plus one single man and one single lady make... -

Posted on January 8, 2012 | No Comments3. Training In Use Of Spiritual Gifts We have to learn to use the Gifts of the Spirit. Church leaders must take responsibility to provide occasions for the believers to learn to pray prophetic prayers. Joining those learning to use the Gifts of the Spirit with more experienced believers on prayer teams is a good way to train others. Paul encourages the Corinthian believers not only to seek after the spiritual gifts, but to “excel” in them (verse 12). To “excel” means to become more effective, or better in... -

Posted on January 1, 2012 | No CommentsIntroduction I want to share with you the purpose, power and protection which team work in prophetic prayer provides. We will also consider how such a prayer team is formed and functions – how it is put together and works. A. POWER / PURPOSE OF A TEAM Jesus is speaking: “Again I say unto you, if two of you agree on earth in prayer about anything, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name – because... -
TL_140 Praying By Prophecy 8
Posted on December 25, 2011 | No Comments3. A True Story In one such session, after they had prayed in other tongues, the Lord began to put a feeling in the heart of one sister. She said, “I feel there are some missionaries in the Philippines who are in great danger.” As they kept praying, someone else received a picture in their head (mind): “Yes I see them in a prison.” Another was given further insight by the Spirit. She saw the prisoners holding the missionaries hostage with knives. They kept praying. Another prayer team...
