Ephesians 1:17 I keep asking (INTERCESSION) that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spiritof wisdom and revelation (ILLUMINATION), so that you may know him better (INTIMACY).
Ephesians 3:16-19 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being (INTERCESSION)so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (INTIMACY). And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,may have power, together with all the Lord s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge (ILLUMINATION) that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Philippians 1:9 And this is my prayer (INTERCESSION): that your love may abound more and more (INTIMACY) in knowledge and depth of insight,so that you may be able to discern what is best (ILLUMINATION) and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,11filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ (INTENTIONALITY) to the glory and praise of God.
Colossians 1:9-14 we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God (INTERCESSION) to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, (ILLUMINATION)so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way (INTENTIONALITY): bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,and giving joyful thanks to the Father (INTIMACY), who has qualified youto share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Worship Songs Give Us Clean Hands
Worship Songs Jesus Paid It All
Illumination Quieten our hearts to listen to God: Lord, how are you inviting me personally to lean into prayer in this season? How can I join you in praying for my church / ministry? Is there a specific scripture that could guide these prayers? Lord, how could I cultivate praying communities in my church? Lord, are there any other prayer burdens you are calling me to lean into? Neighbours/Local Community? Another Church or Ministry? A New Venture? A Least Reached People Group?
Intercession Prayer Stations Take a few minutes to write on the prayer walls, what God has laid on your hearts. Join with one or two others for this time of prayer as you gather around the prayer walls to agree in prayer with what has been discerned. Listen while you are interceding and feel free to add more notes to the wall as the Lord gives increased insight / discernment
Intentionality Prayer Huddle Take a few moments of quiet inviting the Lord to surface for you one or two next steps He has hi-lighted for you today. Share these with your group Pray for one another, commissioning each other afresh into what God has laid on your heart. Feel free to use the oil to anoint each other. Take time while praying for one another to be listening for a fresh word from the Lord to pray over your brothers and sisters.
