Guidelines
Listen to the Holy spirit
1
We all pray through the same Seven Keys every week. The prayer points are guides, not a script. Begin by listening to the Holy Spirit, then pray as He leads.
raise up leaders
2
Everyone can lead. Raise leaders who raise more leaders; 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 in groups
3
Encourage everyone to pray, regardless of age or experience. In larger gatherings, divide into smaller groups so everyone has an opportunity to pray, encourage those who are shy.
pray for one hour
4
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
5
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.
