Prayer Team Ministry

Prayer Team Ministry is for everyone who at the end of the night would like individual prayer for anything that the Holy Spirit has placed on their heart.  This could be, for example:

Prayers for continual strength, for an outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, for physical or mental healing; it could also be prayers for joy and peace, for deeper discernment and conviction to whatever vocation the Lord is calling you too, and the list goes on.

You will be prayed over by a team of trained prayer ministers who are not going to do anything scary to you, but only pray with you and ask for the Holy Spirit to grant the desires that have been placed upon your heart, for in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus said:

“Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” - Matt 18:19-20

At first it might seem scary to go up and let other people pray over you, for some of the prayer ministers you might not even know. I know I was scared the first time I was prayed over. It was my Freshman year of college and I was at a Praise and Worship night on campus when afterwards I felt I was suppose to go get prayed over but was scared to go up. I sat in my pew for an hour - yes, a whole hour - watching other people get prayed over and wrestling with myself over going up to get prayed over. Finally, the Holy Spirit gave me the courage to go up and allow a team of 3 people to pray over me for several things I wanted prayer for. During that time, I had one of the most powerful experiences I have ever had during prayer. I received confirmation against what I was having doubts about and so much peace and joy that I started crying, not out of sorrow, but out of the joy that I had received. Now I love getting prayed over and have seen the Lord do so many awesome things during Prayer Team Ministry, from broken bones being completely healed, people receiving abundant joy and peace, to people resting in the Holy Spirit and even the simplest consolation of just being prayed with - all because of how much God loves us.

I encourage everyone who desires more prayer to not be afraid of going to prayer teams at the end of the nights, for even though sometimes the Lord does not gives us what we want, He always gives us what we need, we just have to ask for it, for the Lord may say not yes, but never says no to something that gets us closer to being in Heaven with Him for eternity.
