Here are some of our prayers from previous prayer rally's we've done. Just so that you guys can agree with us in prayer on a much more specific level.
Prayer Log
10.21.09
Dionis & Ian:
We started on our own. Praying for direction. After hearing what Tamara and Bethany pressed in for, we wanted to stay in line with that. We realized that water also helps plant seeds. God led me (Dionis) to Mark 4 (the sewer and the seed). We prayed that the island would become “good soil” so that the seed that will be sown or has already been sown will be able to grow and produce 100 fold. We also prayed against the “birds, rocks, sun and the thorns.” That whatever is stealing God’s word from the people would be gone (casting them out) so that God’s word can grow. Then Ian prayed that there would be people to support what God is doing… A.K.A. fertilizer, to compliment the fresh water and the fresh soil. Then we went back to ourselves but both of us were claiming the island and whatever God put on our heart.
Tamara & Bethany:
Okay so we walked to the church because Bethany was feeling sick so we figured we could walk or do laps around the church. We ended up lapping the church about 7 times or more and really spoke out against bondage within the island and the people. We kept praying for protection over and around the church that there will be angels surrounding the premises guarding against any evilness that may attempt to want to take residence. We also prayed for unity amongst the church members and leaders.

Marissa & Corinna
God I pray that you would romance each and every one of these kids tonight. God, they BELONG to you. They are YOUR property! They are YOUR creation. God I pray would you appear tonight… come in Jesus and present Yourself to their hearts.
God I pray for an awakening in the camp. God that you would raise the kids out of their sleep, out of their enchantment, God that they would be brought out of their graves and back to life-that they would come out of their tents and see the enemy at hand, within the camp. I pray that they would be awakened, but also strengthened… God that they would not fear when they see what is before them but that they would see the great crowd of witnesses… that you would open their eyes like Gahazi’s and that they would know that you opened their eyes in order to free them. Set up a table before them amidst their enemy. Show them that you laugh because in your hand is the victory already!
God focus our hearts tonight. Speak directly to the four who are speaking… God would it be Your spirit that wells up in them and in turn your words that come from their lips. God would all our hearts be bent on the things unseen… give us eyes to see past what is in front of us. Give us your eyes. How do you see these kids? What do you see going on in the lives of these kids? What do you see about the present situation? What is going on in the room at this very moment?
God I pray for legions of angels to surround us and to fight on our behalf, to fight alongside us. God that we would not be alone in tonight’s battle but that you and your Spirit would be well and alive in our hearts!

Corinna & Tamara:
The kids you had come over at our house Saturday night came by no mere coincidence. Each and every one of those kids you have called by name and have predestined them for your kingdom’s work. God you have blessed them with Your Spirit and I pray that now… You would show them how to walk it out. Give them each a spirit of confidence that comes only from you. Make it KNOWN to them who You are and how much You love them!! Build each of their identities in you and no one else—that their foundation would be built on You and You alone. Each one of those kids belongs to You and no one else. Teach them how to be leaders. Lead them God, give them Your strength, wisdom, joy, peace, discernment and YOUR love. From them, would there come a wave of revival. You’ve started it in their hearts—I pray let the fire grow and spread.
Likewise God, that you would build on and strengthen the core group. God that there would be a foundation built on You and Your Spirit by the time we leave. It isn’t US that’s changing things but You and Your Spirit. So God I pray that You would remain faithful and carry out to completion the things that you’ve started. That there would be a wildfire started—that this island would be completely turned around. That there would be an awakening in peoples’ Spirits like never before. Fire up those kids for You… don’t let anything stand in their way but MAKE a way for them. Teach them how to tuck in behind You and You carve out the way.
God I have prayed specifics for each section of this church. I have prayed a certain people will bring unity to the church body with understanding and patience. Another section (middle seats) those people in those seats will humbly walk in righteousness and will be leaders of the youth group. This section is for leadership that give them courage and fire to make a stand and lead our next generation. The right section I prayed that there will be deliverance in their lives; a freedom from any bondage or chains that may hold them back. Next I prayed for the worship platform and team… worship leaders help enter the people into God’s presence and for a surrendering Spirit. I prayed in sections because I feel that there are specific functions according to the body of the church that need to be played out in order for the church to be more forward. God I pray that the church will be unified, convicted, humbled, delivered, and sanctified = Freedom and wholeness exemplifying a body functioning together in righteousness with 1 body, 1 mind, 1 spirit, 1 purpose!
Bethany & Marissa:
Prayed for Pastor Jimmy & the band, give wisdom and unity, new vision and insight on what to do with the youth, what to do in the building of the church.
Prayed for the board meeting… God will give divine wisdom… big dreams. That God would expand dreams.
Prayed for a line in the sand to be drawn on Friday night. God would separate sincerity from insincerity.
Anointed the altar. Place of Holy ground for God to work. That there would be a border which distraction and peer pressure couldn’t pass. That it would be a holy separated place. A place for God to work.
Prayed that the church would start to live by their mission statement.
Josh & Anthony:
WE need to be a people that are more “passionate” about HEAVENLY GRATIFICATION than earthly gratification.
PASSION creates CHANGE ,if there is no CHANGE, then there is no PASSION!
Lord, show us how to be passionate, because we don’t know how. When, in Jesus’ name, you give it to us, would it be birthed from righteousness, for righteousness. Would be truly see your majesty.
We put to death the spirit of religion! Would we see you as a relational God instead of one that sits on the side line and critiques our every move.
Explode us into a new creation that is rooted on Christ our solid rock. Give us a throne room experience that would send us into a deeper romance with you. Create in us an overwhelming passion, so that we can create an overwhelming change.
In Jesus name AMEN
