 Good morning everyone. Hope you are enjoying your classes and learning new things every day. Okay, great, great. Yeah, that's awesome. All right. So, yes, today we are to touch upon the remaining insights from the chapter on inter-session and then we will try to move on to chapter 13 in our notes. So, let's do a quick recap of inter-session and then we will close off with the last section there. So, we said inter-session is simply going to God on behalf of others. And our example, our best example is the Lord Jesus who has interceded for us. The inter-session of Jesus while he was here on the earth is seen in the work of the cross. So, he demonstrated his inter-session. It's more than him just praying for us. Did he pray for us? Yes, he did pray. Read John chapter 16. There are prayers for believers, prayers for disciples. So, he did pray for us with his words. Not the cross. The work that he did for us in carrying our sins, in carrying our burdens is an act of inter-session in itself. So, he carried, he bore our pain, our sin and he became a reconciler. He became a mediator, an intercessor on our behalf. So, that action is what we are referring to as an act of inter-session. So, he went to God on our behalf and he brought us the mercy and the forgiveness of God. And also, through the cross, what the Lord Jesus has done is he has given us the victory from every work of darkness. And we sort of compared that to what we do as intercessors and said, even we do the same thing. We are carrying other people's burdens, we take it to God, we go to God on behalf of people. And then we also declare the victory of Jesus on the cross for us. So, that is what inter-session is. And then we said that even right now, the Lord Jesus, he is our best high priest. He is in the presence of the Father and he continues the work of inter-session for us up in heaven. So, we looked at some of the others in the Word of God who have also spoken on behalf of others. Because Abraham is a wonderful example when he interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah, when he interceded for Abimelech. So, we see God intervening on the basis of somebody's prayer, a righteous man's prayer and then Moses. Moses is a great example of a leader who is interceding for his people. And because of him, the children of Israel, their lives were preserved. So, we do know that they were very, very hard-hearted, they were lacking in faith, they were not thankful. And despite the condition of their hearts, it was Moses who kept going back to God and saying, God, please spare them and God heard his prayer. So, one of the important tasks of leadership is to pray for the people whom God has entrusted to us. So, all this is what we looked at and we said that there is a great need for intercessors. We know that sometimes we go through challenging phases in our lives. We could have loved ones in our lives who are also going through difficult times. And we can minister the power of God into their lives through our prayers. And it's a beautiful ministry which God has given us. We can bless others through intercession. We saw how Job cried out to God and he said, would there be somebody, will there be anyone who will mediate for me with God? Will anyone plead my case with God, any man who will plead my case with God? So, Job was in a desperate situation and he was looking for an intercessor. And today, you and I can be those intercessors praying for people, praying for regions, communities, nations and any person or community that God calls us to pray for. We also said that God is looking for intercessors. So, God, even through one person, we saw that scripture in Ezekiel where God said, I'm looking for one man to stand in the gap. So, today if we feel discouraged that, oh, I don't know of any team or group of intercessors that I can join and pray. It doesn't matter. You know, if you're the only person who senses God putting something on your heart, you pray because even one person prayed we see in scripture. God looked for one man applicable to one woman. So, even one individual praying can make a word of a difference and God is looking for such people to pray. And then, you know, we talked about how when it comes to earnest prayer, some of the needs for earnest prayer are in the area of healing where there can be prolonged sickness that some people are experiencing or in the area of people going astray, you know, wandering away from God. So, in both of these matters, we must really persevere. It may not be easy to keep praying to see the breakthrough happen, but, you know, we continue. We trust God and we will see a breakthrough and intercessors are needed, especially in these two areas to pray for healing and to pray also for people to come back to God. Yeah, and we also touched on the fact that the Holy Spirit is our helper. Now, if we feel that we are weak in some way, we can ask for God's grace and the Holy Spirit is known as the spirit of grace and supplication. So, He will help us. He will strengthen us to keep making these prayers of intercession and also we notice that, you know, He comes alongside us, meaning He kind of holds our hands and He empowers us to intercede for others so we can completely rely on the Holy Spirit who strengthens us. So, having seen all these aspects about intercession today, we will talk about some of the ingredients that are necessary for successful intercession. So, I am going through the points in our notes on page 46. So, the first ingredient which is required is to move in God's love and compassion. Now, this is understood. If we do not carry God's heart for people, then persevering in intercession will not be easy. But when we carry God's love, you know, God's compassion, then it's easy for us to intercede for others. I'll just give you an example. If there is a brother or a sister in church who is sick and you know, you have seen this person struggling, you know, or you've heard about their experience of how they are going back to the doctor often, but I'm not feeling comfortable. I still have pain. I still, you know, need to overcome the sickness. So, as we hear of the challenges that the person is going through, you know, it really touches our hearts and we feel for them. We experience that sense of, you know, love and mercy and kindness for that person. So, for intercessors, it's very important. And let's not just put some people in that category of intercessors, but I'm sure all of us can pray. Yes, there are a few people who are called, especially for the ministry of intercession, but everybody can intercede. So, when we hear of people's needs, naturally that love of God must flow out of us, that compassion for people where from that place, we say, okay, I really need to pray for this brother. You know, he's sick and he's not able to experience healing. Okay, God in the name of Jesus. You seek out to God, let this brother experience healing. So, it must come from a place of love and compassion. No, this is kind of, it happens every day, right? Every day we hear of so many testimony, sorry, experiences. Like, at least for me, it happens. Suddenly, somebody will message and they'll say, pastor, I'm going through this financial difficulty. Please remember me, prayer, or someone will say that today all this quarrel happened with my siblings. Please pray for me. So, there are all these needs. And as you see each one of those messages, I know humanly sometimes it's impossible to repeatedly pray for all the requests that are coming to us, but to the extent that we can. Whenever I see a message, I try to pray immediately. Okay, and then if the lot continues to place that on my heart, then I will pray repeatedly for that request. But at least once, as soon as you see something, that compassion of God, that kindness of God, it causes us to pray or intercede. And that's very important. So, moving in God's love and compassion is the first thing that is required for intercession. If we don't have that, then how can we pray for others? So, we can ask God to give us that heart, that moves for people. It should move for others, for their suffering. And when we see others' challenges, we are willing to sacrifice maybe our time or our energy to pray for them. So, again, be led by the Holy Spirit. Now, for some things that God puts on our hearts, we have moved to such a degree that we keep praying about it again and again and again until the breakthrough comes in that person's life. But maybe there are some other requests that you see and for all practical reasons, you're not able to pray through regularly, but do the best that you can. Maybe at that point, you just pray for that person. God's love and compassion should move us. And that is very important for us to be successful in intercession. Second, desire to see change in the prevailing conditions. So, based on the word of God, when we know that God has promised healing, God has promised blessing, God has promised breakthroughs, God has promised deliverance, when you see somebody who is in a contrary situation, a heart goes out and we think, why should this brother face this kind of an oppression? He should be set free in the name of Jesus. So, what happens? We desire to see change. This person should be set free from their addiction. Or this person who has gone away from God, they must come back to God. So, whatever is the existing challenging condition, our desire is to see a change. Surely, these people should come out of these circumstances. They should be blessed. They should experience the power of God in their life. So, that desire to see the change must be there in the heart of an intercessor. Generally, when we talk to people who are so burdened for the land, who are so burdened for cities and regions, when you ask them, brother, how come you are interceding like this? Many years I have seen you praying for Bangalore city. They tell you, see, I am asking the Lord for this revival. I am trusting the Lord for this breakthrough. I have not yet seen it. So, that is why I am continuing to pray. So, an intercessor is chasing after that change. I trust that you are going to make this happen for a person or a community of people. So, we must desire to see the change in the lives of the people whom we are praying for. That also will motivate us and that will help us to be successful in our intercessory prayer. The next point here is identification. So, this simply means, see, it is similar to the love, compassion and all that we talked about earlier. Here, if you look at the scripture in Romans 12 verse 15, it says, rejoice with those who rejoice. Veep with those who weep. So, it is empathy. So, you know, when, let us say, for example, a child in your house, maybe your son, daughter, a nephew, niece, somebody, one child gets hurt and they are crying. You know, sometimes you feel that pain, isn't it? They are crying, but it's like, ouch! You can feel the pain. That is called empathy. So, when they are weeping, you kind of go with what they are experiencing. That's what God is calling us to do. Now, I said about weeping, but scripture also says rejoice with those who rejoice. That's why when people are celebrating and God is doing great things in their lives, what do we do? We rejoice with them, but we also weep with those who weep. So, because of intercession, you know, we identify with the people. We identify with the people. Now, who taught us to do this? Jesus on the cross. Now, the scriptures say that he identified with man. He didn't deserve to die on the cross, but he identified with sinful man and the sin of the words put on him, right? So that we can become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. So, he identified with mankind and he felt our pain. He felt, right, what we go through, that shame, that cutting away from God for moments. He felt that when the sin of the world was put on him. So, identification is something that Jesus did for us and we learn from his life. So, when I pray for somebody, you know, it is helpful for me to identify. You know, sometimes you hear intercessors really pray for repentance when they're praying for the land and they might pray something like, God, forgive us, Lord. You know, we have sinned against you. We have done this. You know, we have dishonored. We have dishonored your work. We have dishonored your need. But then when you look at the life of that intercessor, you would realize, hey, this is a very righteous person. He or she, I don't think they have done these crimes. They have not done the things that they are repenting for. But what is that? That's actually identification. You're identifying with those who have done it. And the pain, the shame, right, that individual who is wandered away from God would feel the intercessor is kind of sensing it in the spirit and saying, God, you forgive me. It's like, it's as embarrassing. You forgive me. I have done the mistake. Whereas that person has never done the mistake. Right? So we learn this from the life of Jesus, where Jesus felt for us, you know, the things that we experience. So you read about Jesus in the book of Hebrews, Hebrews chapter two, for in that he himself has suffered being tempted. He's able to aid those who are tempted. So it tells us that when we are going through temptation, Jesus can identify. Why? He was also tempted in every way. So, you know, he will not say, Oh, how ungodly, unholy, how come you're asking me for help in the case of temptation? Don't you know you're the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus? Just confess it three times. He doesn't do that, but he identifies. Okay, you're going through this temptation. It's hard for you. I know how it feels. Right? So Jesus is that kind of an intercessor. And we're just being told that, you know, we must have that heart that identifies those who are going through the pain, the temptation, the weakness. Okay. And our high priest, you know, in the scriptures, we see a high priest was selected as a representative among men. You know, one among them representative so that he can identify with the people. So when people would come to him, he could go to God on behalf of the people because he can sympathize with the weaknesses of the people. And the Bible tells us in Hebrews 4 that the Lord Jesus, right, he is our high priest and he's not a high priest who doesn't know what life on earth is, what pain is, what suffering is. He's not disconnected from those things, but he too has experienced them. So that is why we are told he is a high priest. He can sympathize with our weaknesses. And that is why we can go boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. So that's the way in which, you know, God ministers to us. So as an intercessor, basically I just go by the example of Jesus. When he identifies with the one who is in need of prayer, anything, it could be any need, but with sympathy. Jesus hears their prayer in the same way as an intercessor. When I pray, you know, I identify. So I don't do it as I'm doing them a favor. No, but you kind of move with that same sense and sympathy and you reach out to God. You know, and when we are ministering like that, it's not easy to give up, especially when God is impressing some requests on our hearts. And I know of some people for a long time they pray. They will keep asking you, how are you doing? You know, you are going through this. How are you doing now? And I wonder to myself, hey, it's been months. They still remember. They still are praying for me. That's amazing. Because they deal with you the way Jesus deals with us. The high priest sympathizes. So having that as an ingredient in our attitude makes successful intercessors. Okay. Okay. Then next is boldness. It goes without saying, you know, every successful prayer has to be prayed in faith. So faith brings the boldness. So when we know God's word, when we know, okay, this person, according to God's word, they must experience a breakthrough of this kind. We go boldly. We say, Lord, your word says that by the steps of Jesus we are healed. Your word says you have forgiven all our sins. You have healed all our diseases. So on the basis of the word you hold on to the word and you say, God, I proclaim, I declare. You just go and you intercede on behalf of that individual boldly by faith. Okay. And the prayer of faith. Right. We've seen that in the book of James. The prayer of faith will heal the sick. So similar to all other situations that we are interceding for boldness and boldness is based on faith in God's word. So boldness also is essential for an intercessor. Then fervency and persistence. Now, we've already talked about this. There are certain circumstances where one needs to persevere and not give up easily. An intercessor should have that in their hearts and wait until people experience the change in their situation or circumstances. So these are some very important keys that one needs to be successful in intercession. So I'm just going to take a small pause here. Any thoughts, questions or you want to add other ingredients to successful intercession? Pastor, I just wanted to it's a question as well as something to share. Like when we pray for people sometimes we just keep on praying just like that, right? But when nothing is happening you know, so sometimes I feel like okay, should I ask God how to pray for this matter or, you know, guidance regarding if I'm praying in the right way or if I'm praying not according to God's will. So is it like a necessity that I do that or is it that I just continue praying? Yeah, so yes, Pivya, you can do that and this goes back to the chapter that we studied from about praying a believing prayer how we seek God's will first and then we keep praying that. So yes, it is a good thing for us to ask God how to pray for the person. Okay, and God can you do something on your heart, you pray like that? Yes, yes, especially when there are, you know, recurring issues or like we do not know the root causes of things. So yeah, so in those cases yeah, God's guidance is much required. Yeah, sure, sure, Pivya, I agree with that. Okay, thank you, thank you best. But I just want to add this one thing. See also what happens in intercession is that you know, maybe we're praying for somebody and there's no breakthrough for a very long time and God revealed something to your heart. Okay, I would suggest that we keep it to ourselves and not you know, share that as a reason or a factor with the person who's not experiencing breakthrough. Okay, what I mean by that is, see what happens people, for example, you know there is somebody they're waiting for a business deal to come through. Okay, and they're told us and we are praying for that person. I'm praying, praying, praying five years, six years that business deal is not coming through. Now when I pray, if I sense, oh yeah, there is some kind of a demonic interruption, that is why this brother is not getting that business deal. Now even if I go and tell the person, you know what you have to change the way you pray, you have to pray against some demons that are stopping your business deal from coming through. You know, instead of building faith it will do the opposite in that person's life. If you're sensing it just keep it to yourself and you just continue to pray. No need to tell because I'm telling you this because I have experience you know, so many people doing things like that they will just come and tell you oh, this is happening because there is witchcraft or this is happening because you know, you are not fasting and praying. Basically it's more like complained threatening you know and you're left wondering why did I even ask this person to pray for me are you getting what I'm saying Divya? Yes, yes absolutely yeah yeah, so I don't yeah I was just not for the sharing to the other person but you know to pray in the right way as to what is but yeah, even I'm reminded of Daniel who was fasting and he did not know like what is happening yet his prayer was answered when he you know, honestly prayed yes, yeah that's right yeah, true Divya so just to remember that yeah, thank you, thank you so much yeah, sure, sure good question Divya, thank you yeah, any other thoughts, any other questions okay, so yeah maybe you are all just thinking deeply about intercession okay, fine please continue okay, let's continue so that's about intercession we could pray for people and have all these ingredients as we bring them before the Lord now we are moving on to another section here this is about travelling okay, travelling and this is labeled as a deeper way of interceding so what is travelling? Travelling is intercession also so you are praying for people, you are praying for the land you are praying for God to release something that He has put on the heart but this intercession is kind of intense okay, so intercession when you are seeking God praying in general we call it intercession but when that intercession becomes intense that is termed as travelling and I will explain to you exactly what this intense is okay, so the Bible compares travelling with childbirth I am travelling for you so that Christ be found in you so He uses this term travelling as if to describe the pain that a mother goes through before childbirth so a deep form intercession is associated with giving birth to the purpose of God so you first engage in intercession you pray deeply okay after that what is expected the release of the purpose of God how long is this going to be that we don't know but it is that deeper level of intercession that one begins to engage in before the breakthrough comes forth so travelling the deeper form of prayer is something that we are going to talk about so you see that Jesus travelled in his practice of prayer in John chapter 11 before he calls Lazarus from the tomb we see he trabelled he kind of groaned before that miracle took place you also see Jesus engaging in a deep form of prayer in the garden he prayed so deeply that you also read that he was sweating blood he was in a place of very intense prayer basically he was in a place where he was seeking God to prepare him to take that next step to go on to the cross so you read about the Lord Jesus travelling engaging in a deep form of prayer we have seen earlier that Jesus also with vehement cries vehement cries in a deep way he prayed to God and in those moments when he was reaching out to God in this intense prayer there was also time when God sent an angel to strengthen him I think in Luke 22 we see that God sent an angel to strengthen him and how was Jesus able to pray these deep prayers we know that the Holy Spirit he strengthens us he helps us and in fact in Romans 8 verses 26 and 27 we see that the Spirit also leads us to pray in size in groanings where we are engaging intensely in prayer now you know just because we are using the term groaning and travelling deep prayer is not always associated with loud crying or weeping to God groaning and all of that but in the Spirit that's how we should understand it in the Spirit we are in a deeper place of engaging with God and Jesus had this experience particularly before he went on to the close so this kind of prayer in our lives I'm sure we have experienced it all many of us would have experienced it in our maybe our challenging times or waiting upon the Lord for the birthing of the next the next phase or the season in your life or the birthing of God's promise in our lives and in those moments we could go off into a place in our prayer life where we it's like the spiritual desperation I don't even know if we have the words to explain it but it's almost like the phase before a mother gives birth she's in pain she is in in a situation that she cannot verbally explain she is engaging no deeply and then the next thing happens which is the child birth so prevailing in God is something that every believer can engage in they can experience they can have the help of the Holy Spirit to engage in this deeper level of prayer now some of you might wonder where is the reference do we really see people doing this we will talk about it in fact towards the end of this course we are going to look at the lives of some people and you know how these people prayed how they cried out to God and they used to engage in prayers of prevailing hang on let me maybe mention one individual to you right now because then it will make more sense I won't share the details of his ministry but just a moment yeah so this is from the ministry of Charles Finney we will talk about him later Charles Finney he had an associate who only engaged in intercession for him his name was Father Nash Father Nash it is said about the way he prayed that it would be crying and weeping okay it was like before Charles Finney would go to any place and he would minister Father Nash he had a team of two or three intercessors so he would go with the team maybe a few months prior hire a house there and these people would stay and they would only engage in fasting prayer calling upon the Lord and people say that you know whenever you would go close to that house or that room where the people were praying they would only hear like cries and groans and they wonder like what are these people doing but they were engaging in a deep form of prayer they were crying out to the Lord and you know they basically they were preparing in the spiritual realm they were preparing that place for the the gospel to be preached and when you read about the outcome of Finney's ministry it's interesting because as long as Father Nash was alive you see that Finney would go and preach and people will like literally it's like you know low handing fruit immediately respond to the gospel you know hundreds of people would just accept the Lord immediately so it was tremendous his ministry was tremendous but then you read about Father Nash passing away and then Finney did not have that prayer support and Finney he gave up he was not seeing fruit in his ministry and he realized the reason he was having tremendous fruit before Father Nash passed away is because of this kind of deep revealing intercessory prayer that Father Nash and Finney engaged in so just one example there we will revisit this later on but for you to understand what is this revealing prayer so they used to engage with God you know intensely and I am not saying this is something that we can make up we can think today I am going to be engaged in intense prayer no but this is a leading of the spirit now let's say for example God has a call on our lives and the birthing of that call is taking place God is opening up doors he is moving you in a certain direction and you have been praying about this all along but maybe you have come to a season in your life where when you are as you are praying you know it is intense now it is almost like you are crying out to God you are revealing like that mother who is in pain just about to give birth you are engaging deeply with God and because you understand what ministry is about God has put you know people God has put a place in your heart you could be crying out for all those things also and you could be praying for the lives of those people as well so you are engaging in a deep way now what else could be happening in these times of travail in these times of travail it is possible that you know our heart which is not aligned to God with intensity you are praying that that alignment would come about okay and now in the garden we know that happened to Jesus he was travailing because in himself he said okay let this cup be taken away from me but he knew that he must yield to the will of God so a prayer of consecration a prayer of yielding is also something that is taking place as you are travailing and in travailing we don't understand the entire dynamics of what is going on but in the spiritual realm it's also such that things are being prepared to give birth okay so all this all this is happening when we are travailing in prayer and so we must be led by the Holy Spirit we must be led by the Holy Spirit whatever kind of prayer he is leading us to do so we are not saying okay come on stop travailing it doesn't happen like that as you pray as you journey with God the Holy Spirit leads you and then you are moving in this travailing kind of an intense form of prayer okay and we said about travailing which is about giving birth so all uses this in Galatians 4 and verse 19 can somebody please read that passage Galatians 4 and verse 19 Galatians 4 verse 19 my little children for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you so labor and can you read that again Divya yeah sure my little children for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you yes thank you Divya thank you so labor and birth until Christ is formed in you so how was Paul labouring how was Paul labouring for the maturing of the people that God had given him so as a leader he was travailing or he was engaging in meditation for the birthing and the maturing of the people in his life so Paul prevailed in this and you know travailing it's a spiritual activity and Paul understood it you know when he says ministry ministry is a spiritual activity and for that we have to engage in the spiritual ways in which ministry should be done so one of the ways God has given us is prayer intercession so whatever God has called us to do whether it is worship or church planting or anything you know there are so many things like leadership administration whatever it is we engage in prayer we say God you know this is the spiritual activity we engage in Paul knew that that's why he said for the birthing of the kingdom of God for the maturing of the people I travail for you so what was he doing he was engaging in deep intercession for the ministry to be done and it's not easy when you engage in intercession it's like it's a way it's kind of it's not happy for the flesh likes because we want instant results we want quick results but in the kingdom of God there is a place for intercession and deep intercession and travailing and this needs to be put in for the results to come so in a way it makes our flesh suffer you know it's like an intense suffering for the inner man and the inner man is holding on in this kind of prayer till the breakthrough comes ok and as we are holding on engaging in this spiritual activity God is faithful again it's like that mother who is travailing in those moments where she's just waiting for the arrival of the child but she's in that place of pain she's in that place of engaging she is engaging she may not be moving around in there but God has formed her in such a way that her body is engaging in this process of childbearing and similarly when we are engaging in travailing it's kind of you know those spiritual dynamics are taking place and God is able to release or give birth to the things that he has put on the inside of us so we must recognize we must recognize that we as believers we have to allow this spiritual activity we have to engage in prayer we have to engage in deep intercession for God to earth mighty things in us ok so in scripture we also see that the birthing happens right from the womb and when Jesus said rivers of living water shall flow out of your belly now I know belly is not the same thing as the womb but just kind of drawing a simple parallel here you could say from a deep place rivers of living water referring to the power of God referring to the work of God referring to the ministry that God brings out of our lives from where is it going to come out of your belly ok so it's like from the womb or from deep within us we can release these things but for that we have to engage with God also in a deep way and you know one more passage here it's from Isaiah 66 where we read about the birthing of God's people and about Mount Zion so when the church prevails we see that she will give birth so we the people of God we are the we've seen about the birthing of Israel and you know and the fact that when you talk about Israel and Zion today we the church are that spiritual Zion we may not be the literal Zion physically the people who belong to that region but we are the spiritual Zion as the church and the church when she prevails she gives birth to the purposes of God ok so the spiritual Zion will give birth to the spiritual purposes of God so as the church as the church you know we're talking about deep place we're talking about the belly we're talking about the womb in one way you know the church is like the womb of God when God wants to give birth to his purposes the church has to engage in prayer so when we are engaging in prayer as if you know we are the womb out of which God is releasing his promises he's releasing his purposes so the church can engage in whatever form of prayer and especially in prevailing prayer and from there will come many things into the world because that be as the church we are the womb out of which God is going to birth God is going to release so what I'll do is I will stop here we still have to touch on some key things regarding prevailing but we will pick it up in the next class any thoughts so far any clarifications regarding prevailing which is a deep form of intercession prevailing in the in terms of intercessionary or do we consider like Hannah's prayer for example that is kind of prevailing right yes I think so so it is not on behalf of others but she's praying for her needs yeah that's true thank you yeah sure so alright so what we'll do is we will think about this thing through thankfully our class is tomorrow so if you you know come up with some questions then we could take it up tomorrow but we will continue on the same subject or prevailing okay yeah so no questions as of now so let's just close with the word of prayer would you like to request somebody to please pray okay last time alright Rosalind could you please pray okay not able to hear you Rosalind okay maybe she is having some difficulty with the audio not a problem not a problem okay anyone else you can just jump in and pray father we thank you for this time of learning that you have given us Lord we pray that even as we continue to learn regarding prayer and intercession we pray of God that we would be able to apply it in our own daily life daily walk with you and help us to intercede for nations help us to intercede for our locality the church and to see greater results happening of God we pray that you will empower us Lord God let the Holy Spirit lead us in the right direction that how we would be able to pray for the things such as we have been answered for quite a long time but still help us to continue and pursue till we receive those answers of God we thank you for person Nancy in helping us to learn from the word together we also support all of us as a community to your hands and we pray of God that you would enable all of us to strive more in prayer of God we thank you Jesus in Jesus most precious name we pray amen thank you thank you John for praying God bless you everyone God bless you yeah take care and we will see you tomorrow in the prayer and intercession class bye God bless
