Guidelines

gather in groups

1

Gather in groups with your church, fellowship, group, social community or family. Encourage everyone to pray, regardless of age or experience. In larger gatherings, divide into smaller groups so everyone has an opportunity to pray, encouraging children and those who are shy.

worship and host God’s Presence

2

Worship together before 7pm. Invite God’s presence and prepare your hearts towards Jesus.

Listen to the Holy spirit

3

We all pray through the same Seven Keys every week. The prayer points however, are not a script. Begin by listening to the Holy Spirit, then pray as He leads.

raise up leaders

4

Everyone can lead. Raise leaders who raise more leaders. Perhaps a different person leads each key. No one should be leading every time.

LEAD → ASSIST → WATCH → SEND
LEAD a few sessions, ASSIST another person to lead, WATCH that person lead, then SEND them to raise more leaders or start new groups.

pray for one hour

Aim to spend around 8–10 minutes on each Key. Honour people's time, but if the Holy Spirit is moving, don't rush Him.

praise & testimony

As part of ‘Praise’, share testimonies before or after prayer. Then send us your testimonies and one group photo each week so we can encourage the wider prayer network.
