ROLES OUTLINED:
12. Support the worship leader, the room and the singers
13. Provide musical intonations and rhythms that support the flow of
intercession
20. Guidelines
24. Choose easy Choruses w/easy melodies and w/out forcing too
many words
25. Corporate prayer choruses help room intercede with one voice
“Send Your Spirit Lord”
26. All singers must help by singing together boldly to lead room
& keep melody line
32. Keeps the phrase before the team and the people
34. Keeps each developed theme to 1-2 minutes only unless there is
unction on it
Usually one Stanza and 1-3 isolated phrases within the stanza
per cycle - 5 Min of antiphonal tops
A. The Room
39. Becomes the battering ram of prayer in the rapid fire sequences
Example:
• Negative Prayer: “Father, I ask that You would
remove darkness and deception from the church on
Long Island!”
• Positive Prayer: “Father, I ask that Your light and
truth would break in upon the church on Long
Island!”
*Note: God hears, cares about and discerns all prayer, whether positive or negative. Because
of our natural human tendency to become weary and discouraged, praying positive prayer
enables us to maintain prayer day by day; helping us engage in joyful supplication rather than
trying to bear the emotional weight of negative realities expressed through negative prayer.
This is especially relevant in a 24-7 prayer ministry such as IHOP. It is because of both the
Biblical model and human dynamics that we encourage positive prayer.
f. You have the option to pray with the singers or not. If you
pause, the singers on the platform will begin singing
spontaneous prayers. Within every 2-3 short songs, you may
interject more short prayerful phrases. In this way, we are
going back and forth in team ministry in intercession.
g. When you are finished, feel free to simply set the microphone
down and walk away.
a. Volume
Though it is necessary to hold the microphone very close to your
mouth and to speak clearly, there is no need to shout on the
microphone. A moderate volume level is encouraged. The room is
not engaged by continual shouting, but rather by dramatic
contrasts. Authority is not manifested by volume, but by Divine
activity.
b. Clarity
This means that it is clear to the room what your prayer focus is.
Your main points are clearly defined and prayed through and they
follow each other in a logical way. Repeating key phrases and
using concise statements creates clarity.
c. Topic
Is your prayer focus one that the majority will be eager excited to
partner with you on? Praying for the Church on Long Island/NYC,
or the government of our nation, etc., are examples of focal points
that the majority can join with you in.
d. Enthusiasm
This does not mean shouting or exaggerating your emotions. This
means being aware that others are hearing you and your role is to
bring them along with you in intercession.
e. Length of Prayer
2-3 minutes is a pretty good length; 5-7 when you engage the
singers and musicians. Any longer, often the room will lose
interest and disengage. Also, there are usually others waiting to
pray after you.
f. Timing
You may want to add little 2-3 second phrases in between the
singers’ singing – not during their singing – to reiterate your point
to the room. Please do not shout over the choruses. Also, it is
helpful to read the room in terms of when to begin warring in the
spirit.
46. Engage in any form of artistic worship you would like, but please
do not do so in the front/center of the room so the community
stays focused upon the Lord rather than the activities around
them.
c. The Rapid Fire cycle leader will start by praying a one or two
minute prayer.
e. Then one by one, those in line will pray a ten to fifteen second
prayer.
g. Then, the next person will pray and so on until everyone in line
has prayed.
A. Worship Leader
E. Singers on Instruments
B. Using the “Key Apostolic Prayers” pick the prayer or decree that best
expresses what you want to pray for.
Example #1: If you want to pray that the church in Long Island would grow in the
knowledge of Jesus, you might pick Apostolic Prayer #1:
Example #2: If you want to pray that the church on Long Island would experience
revival, you might pick the Prophetic Promise found in Isaiah 35:1-2:
“The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and THE DESERT
SHALL REJOICE AND BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE; IT SHALL BLOSSOM
ABUNDANTLY AND REJOICE, EVEN WITH JOY AND
SINGING…”(Isaiah 35:1-2)
No matter what you want to pray for, you should be able to find an Apostolic
Prayer or a Prophetic promise to match the cry of your heart – they cover pretty
much everything. Feel free to ask the associate prayer leader to help you find an
Apostolic Prayer or Prophetic promise that matches the burden of your heart.
It’s okay if you don’t feel anything “burning” in your heart. If you don’t feel
something specific that you want to pray for, just pick any prayer or promise – all
of these prayers and promises are on God’s heart all of the time, so it’s impossible
to pray the wrong prayer!

hand is filled with righteousness. Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are
glad because of your judgments. Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers,
consider well her ramparts, view her citadels that you may tell of them to the next
generation. For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide even to
the end.
b. Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the
inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness,
and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
E. That you may know the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who
believe
That we would understand His sustaining power – the power behind the
power and His burning heart toward those who believe in Him
a. Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these {stars,} The
One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of
the greatness of His might and the strength of {His} power, Not one {of them} is
missing.
b. 1 Chronicles 29:12 Both riches and honor {come} from You, and You rule over
all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and
to strengthen everyone.
The focus of prayer is the Church of Long Island and NYC. We’re praying through
Ephesians 1:17-19
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give to you the spirit
of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding
being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling what are the
riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness
of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power . . .
Father, we pray: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give to
you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling what
are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding
greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty
power . . .
Father of Glory, draw us closer. Ignite desire in our hearts. Awaken Love. Give the
Church on Long Island and NYC the spirit of wisdom and revelation that she would
know you more fully and more intimately. We want to know you. Would You help us
enter into the fullness of what it means to know You. Would You grant us the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You- that the eyes of our understanding
would be enlightened. We want a greater revelation of You Father, of You Jesus, of You
Holy Spirit. We want to know you intimately; to grow in our understanding of Your
heart; to set our hearts on what moves You; to care about what delights You. We want to
know You.
What does it mean that You are the Father of Glory? What does it mean that You are the
Bridegroom-Redeemer; the Righteous Judge? What does it mean that You are our
Comforter? What do Your names mean, Lord? What do they reveal about You; about
Your emotions and Your character? We want the truth about who you are in our inner
most being. It’s in knowing You that we find our greatest pleasure. It’s in knowing You
that we have eternal life. You love to reveal Your heart to us. You said if we searched for
You with all of our hearts, we would find You. Help us search for you with all of our
hearts Lord. We want to delight in You. We want to know You more.
"How blessed are those who are pure in heart, for it is they who will see God! Matthew
5:8
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden parts You teach me
wisdom. Psalm 51:6
And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom Thou hast sent John 17:3
For This reason . . . we have not ceased to pray for you to ask that you may be filled
with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding Colossians
1:9
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be
strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; Ephesians 3:16
For I know the purposes, which I am planning for you, says Jehovah; purposes of
peace, and not for evil; to give you posterity and a hope. Then you shall call on Me,
and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you shall seek and find
Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29: 11-13
Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaks right. Proverbs
16:13
O man, He has declared to you what is good. And what does Jehovah require of you,
but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
For you do not desire sacrifice, or I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You
will not despise. Psalm 51:16-17
. . . But I will look toward this one, to the afflicted, and to the contrite of spirit, even
trembling at My Word. Isaiah 66:2
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite,
in whom there is no falsehood!" Nathaniel said to him, "How do you know me?"
Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I
saw you." Nathaniel replied to him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King
of Israel!" Jesus said to him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under
the fig tree? You will see greater things than that." Then he said to him, "Truly, truly
I tell all of you, you will see heaven standing open and the angels of God going up and
coming down to the Son of Man." John 1:47-51
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" Jesus said to him, "'You
must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your
mind.' This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it:
'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets depend on
these two commandments." Matthew22:36-40
I am giving you a new commandment to love one another. Just as I have loved you,
you also should love one another. John13:34
He that has My commandments and keeps them, it is that one who loves Me; and the
one that loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and will reveal
Myself to him. Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My
Word, and My Father shall love him. And We will come to him and will make a
dwelling place with him. John 14:21 & 23
Father, we pray that You would reveal the hope of Your calling to us. We want to
understand the gift You have given us by calling us to Yourself in Christ Jesus. You have
made us holy and blameless in Your presence. Show us what it means to be hid in Christ
and all that we receive in our adoption as sons. Because You love us, in Him we have
redemption and forgiveness of our sins. You have lavished grace, wisdom and
understanding upon us. We are destined for your praise and glory. Make this the
meditation of our hearts Lord. Help us understand the magnitude of this great gift; the
wonders of the hope of Your calling.
In Jesus’ name we ask that You would reveal the hope of Your calling
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm, just as he chose us in him before
the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in his presence. In love he
predestined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure
of his will, so that we would praise his glorious grace that he gave us in the Beloved
One. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our offenses,
according to the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us, along with all wisdom
and understanding, when he made known to us the secret of his will. This was
according to his plan that he set forth in Christ to usher in the fullness of the times and
to gather up all things in Christ, both things in heaven and things on earth. In Christ
we were also chosen when we were predestined according to the purpose of the one
who does everything according to the intention of his will, so that we who had already
fixed our hope on Christ might live for his praise and glory. Ephesians 1:3-12
For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead,
you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba! Father!"
Romans 8:15
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one
which enters within the veil where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having
become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:19-20
Dear Friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made
known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him
as He is. 1John 3:2
Father we want to know the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints. Help us
understand the fullness of the Your portion in receiving us. You have rescued us from the
domain of darkness and transferred us to Jesus’ kingdom. You are our portion, our great
reward. And we belong to You. Lord, make us Your great delight; worthy of Your
calling. We want to bring You great pleasure. You are rich in mercy; rich in grace and we
want to know the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints.
In Jesus’ name show us the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints
Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. Like your name, O
God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with
righteousness. Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your
judgments. Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her
ramparts; view her citadels that you may tell of them to the next generation. For this
God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. Psalm 48: 9-14
. . . Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of
the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us
to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of
sins. Colossians 1:12
Lord, we want to know the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe.
Give us eyes to recognize Your sustaining power and heart toward us who believe in
Jesus. You are the One who created the Heavens and Earth. You call the stars by name
and number the hairs on our heads. In You we live and move and have our being. You
have seated us with Christ Jesus in the heavenly realm and You have shown us that
love is as strong as death. We stand amazed and ask that we may truly understand the
exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe.
In Jesus’ name would You reveal the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us
who believe
Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these {stars,} The One who leads
forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His
might and the strength of {His} power, Not one {of them} is missing. Isaiah 40:26
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love for us even when we were
dead because of our offenses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have
been saved), raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavenly realm in
Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might display the limitless riches of his
grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7
