Reedy River Missionary Baptist Church

Intercessory Prayer Ministry

Prayer:  A dialogue between God and people, especially His covenant partners. (Holman Bible Dictionary)

Ephesians 6:18:  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Purpose:  As we all know, when the presence of God comes into the place then God is pleased. As children of God, we desire to abide in His presence in His good pleasure and to be filled to the full with His Holy Spirit.

This ministry serves this church through committed, fervent praying individuals with an "expectancy of answered prayer" based on the many promises of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is our desire that this ministry will benefit the church through intercessory prayer, fasting, revival, Christian growth, prayer workshops, and salvation of souls as it continues its goal of kingdom building.

Mission:   To know God and His perfect will for our church through fervent prayer and supplications through the Spirit. Co laboring with our Lord and Savior through the power of the Holy Spirit, we call those things that are not as though they are, accomplishing the will of God for the body of Christ in its role of spreading the gospel.

Goals:  To pray continually for the church, its organizations, and ministries (Col. 1:9-12),
·   To maintain unity among the body of believers that they all may be one as God and Christ are one (John 17:20-21),
·   To develop a powerful prayer ministry through daily commitment of being filled with the Holy Spirit and praying with an attitude of authority and confidence that God hears and answers prayers (John 14:13-14);
·   To seek committed saints who will agree in united prayer (Mat. 18:19) to exercise their faith in God’s word (Mk. 11:22-24;
·   To bring blessings to the church with the Spirit’s outpouring of revival (Ps. 85:6), Christian growth, prayer workshops, and the salvation of souls.

Types of prayer:

Confession--of sin in our lives and our helpless state before Him (Dan.9:20-21; Acts 19:18)

Praise--expression of love and adoration to God for who He is (Acts 16:25)

Thanksgiving--thanks for God’s blessings of provisions, protection and peace (Phil. 4:6-7)

Petition--surrender of our will, mind, and emotion to express the requests of our heart to God (1 John 5:14-15)

Supplication--fervent and desperate form of petition, more powerful, emotional, and forceful. (Hebrews 5:7)

Faith--The prayer of faith is boldly speaking a command of faith against a problem… ALOUD! – (Mark 11:22-23)

Forgiveness--hurt or offended by another. Mark 11:25-26

Intercession--willingness to stand in the gap for others in the presence of the Lord (1 Tim. 2:1)

Meditation--reflection on God’s word and listening to His voice (Ps.1:2; 19:14)

Warfare (Authority, Binding & Loosing)--recognition of spiritual attacks that we face in our lives as we pray against strongholds (Mat. 18:18; 2 Cor. 10:3-5)
