Location: Conference Call   Topic: Intercession - Praying in the Spirit  

Description: Please join us in person in the sanctuary or remotely for an exciting time of intercession exclusively praying in the Spirit. We’ll meet together every Wednesday evening from 7 - 8:15(ish).

The purpose of our time together is to strengthen our spirits and bypass our soul realm by pressing into the Spirit through tongues. We will be led in intercession through praying in the Spirit, crying out in the Spirit, singing in the Spirit or however the Lord leads us to use the gift of tongues. We will not pray in English so please refrain from doing so :) If you feel the Lord is giving you something in English, that’s awesome. If so, please write it down and pray into it on your own at a later time or break free from the group. Often during intercession God will speak so be sure to bring your notebooks or phones to write down what He’s saying to you. We share briefly at the conclusion of our prayer time.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to request the conference call phone number.
