The How To's of Prayer Ministry

1.3.1.2 Good Communication Among Yourself and Key Prayer Leadership.

1. Set a schedule appointed time to meet at least once a month.

2. Discuss how they should pray for you.

Use discretion when asking for prayer. There may be personal issues that should not be discussed openly.

3. A prayer leader must understand that they are set aside to direct prayer to beseech God for His change on your behalf. Intercession is not forcing the change. Intercession is placing trust in God after requests are made to bring change or transformation that comes from God. Intercessors are set aside to pray, not to act as a judge.

Footnote: Problems often arise when an individual or group feel justified to override authority, asserting themself the authority in the matter. This occurs for a variety of reasons. Often those who are prophetic intercessory individuals feel very strongly that they have heard from God then bypass scriptural protocols to disrupt the order of business.
