From the Desk of James W. Goll: We are certainly living in unprecedented times! As I write this, many of you are quarantined in your house to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. Now is the time for us to rise up in a mighty prayer storm to ask the Lord of the Harvest for breakthrough in our cities, nations, and in our world! Let's pray that this virus will cease in Jesus' name. Let's pray that the Lord will cause people's hearts to be drawn to Him like never before! So can you do this? Would you be willing to fast one day a week with me and pray according to the one-hour prayer guide below? Would you be willing to take 15 minutes a day and pray in the Spirit that the pandemic of fear would cease? And tell others that is it time to mount the Walls of Intercession together. I believe we are on the edge of a global revival such as the world has never seen. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.) James W.

Here's a One-Hour Prayer Guide" James W. Goll, Franklin, TN This guide is intended to be only an outline, surrendered to the leading of the Holy Spirit as a flexible tool to help you in your hour of worship and intercession. It is not a formula, and you do not have to follow it to the letter. Your times of prayer may vary greatly from one week to the next, as the Spirit leads you. Below, you will find a brief outline, followed by further explanation. 60-Minute Outline for Prayer • Read a current Prayer Alert—2 minutes. • Offer thanksgiving and praise—3 minutes. • Sing and pray in the Spirit—5 minutes. • Read Scripture—5 minutes. • Pray for revival in the Church—10 minutes. • Sing and pray in the Spirit—5 minutes. • Pray for Israel—10 minutes. • Sing and pray in the Spirit—5 minutes. • Pray for a youth awakening—10 minutes. • Offer thanksgiving and praise—5 minutes. A Few Instructions Based on this outline, here are a few simple instructions to help you make your time effective. I encourage you to begin by reading a Prayer Alert sent by our ministry, or any of the number of ministries now engaged in global intercession. Then proceed to offer thanksgiving and praise to the Lord. Remember, Psalm 100 instructs us to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. You can enter God's throne room with thanksgiving and praise! If you find music helpful, play an instrument or use an instrumental worship CD in the background. Do whatever will make your time the most effective. (Photo via Free Images) My emphases is to engage in Spirit-led and Spirit-empowered worship and prayer. Therefore, consider singing and praying in the Holy Spirit or praying by using the gift of tongues (see 1 Corinthians 14) as a part of your time. If you have not yet been released into this dimension of prayer, do not worry. You can participate by simply worshiping the Lord periodically throughout your hour. Remember, the Lord inhabits the praises of His people. You are one of His people, and He will inhabit your praises. It is vital to be Spirit-led and Word-grounded in your times of intercession. Every so often, the Prayer Alert will direct you to read a Scripture passage that will fuel your faith. At other times, it will be left up to you to select a short portion of the Bible to read. As you proceed into the current "burdens or themes" in prayer, make it practical. Call out to the Lord for revival in the Church. Pray for your region and nation and the church in your city to come alive in Jesus name! You should be aware that the Holy Spirit might "land on" one of them, such as revival in the Church, and you will not be able to get away from it. That is great! Follow His lead; that is the goal. Other times, you will... (continue reading) Find us on: * Facebook click here * XAPiT click here PLEASE FORWARD to all your friends!
