Prayer

Introducti
on

Intercessory prayer is Jesus chosen way to release heavens resources into action on
the earth. It is His
primary means of moving His eternal plans and purposes forward. Many terms have
been used historically to refer to this concept, including victorious, persevering,
prevailing prayer. Intercessory prayer is prayer on behalf of people, families, cities,
nations and situations, as we stand in their place contending for the will of God,
transformation, conviction of sin and the influence of the Kingdom of God among
Many cite the fall of communism as a direct result of the global praying church. John
Praying Hyde and
others listening to the Lord in the 1890s sought God for an outpouring of the Holy
Spirit leading to the global revival period from 1900 1910. Many historians cite
this decade as the greatest period of revival in history. Rees Howells and others
were instrumental in helping turn the spiritual tide of World War II. In contemporary
circles breakthroughs in church planting movements (CPMs) among unreached
people

Learning From The

Moravians
The Moravian movement of the mid 1700s teaches much about this important
subject. In the 1720s a
community of persecuted Christian refugees were welcomed by Count Ludwig Von
Zinzendorf to live on his estate in Moravia (modern day Germany.) Over time this
community grew into a thriving revival center. John Wesley visited the Moravians
many times for spiritual refreshment, citing rich encounters with God each time. In
the communities early days, there had been divisions among the refugees.
Zinzendorf asked God to bind hearts together in love. God answered with a revival in
1727 of such quality that relationships were immediately mended. Conviction of sin
Soon after, the community set up a round-the-clock prayer watch seeking God for
depth of spirituality and
growing interest in cross-cultural mission. God gave them deep burden through
intercession.They sought God to release conviction upon people, remove spiritual
blinders, and enlighten hearts to recognize their deep need for God.The Moravian
prayer watch became the fuel for the cross-cultural ministry of the Moravians and
lasted unbroken, round the clock, for one hundred years. Known historically as the
100 Year Prayer Meeting it was high quality prayer and intercession that sustained
the ongoing sending and fruitful- ness of large numbers of message bearers

Ask of
Me!
Intercessory prayer is the most important of ministries, yet generally the least
utilized.The Great Com-

mission is a spiritual work and intercessory prayer is central to producing spiritual

fruit. Prayer is almost
offensive to our minds. Human nature wants to do something more productive.
Intercession seems like a waste of valuable time compared to what could be produced
through action.The Lord sees it differently. He values the foolishness of disciples
Prayer and intercession give expression to our inner longing to see Gods glory and
Kingdom known and
experienced in our cities, nations and the world. He has set up His Kingdom so

Ask of Me! This is the greatest condition of prayer. Its a simple promise. In His call
to Ask of Me! there is an implicit assurance He will answer.The Father and Son
possess all power and authority.Yet weve responded with slowness to do our part.
Satan and evil run rampant stealing, killing and destroying life; cities are in bondage

Gods Kingdom is brought near, He is moved to release greater works, demons flee
and the power of the
Spirit is released and experienced. As disciples are moved to ongoing, faithful,
consistent prayer, Gods pur- poses in the earth are accelerated.There is no more
important lesson in the spiritual life then learning to pray. God is waiting for His
people to lay hold of Him to bring His Scriptural promises into reality.Through prayer,
we partner with God to change the future of nations, people groups, cities and
villages. It is the gen- eral and corporate neglect of prayer that results in the delay of
Gods Kingdom being known in the earth. True prayer seeks God Himself, propelling

The Churchs Primary

Assignment
The greatest calling of the body of Christ is to fulfill her assignment as a House of
Prayer For All Nations
(Isaiah 56:7). This is a corporate calling and not merely for individual disciples. Of
course, God uses our in- dividual prayer lives to accomplish untold blessing. James
tells us the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16)!
Yet it is a church or ministry corporately and the Church made up of many churches
and ministries across a city or region that becomes a house of prayer. This
corporate house of prayer extends great spiritual victories in more parts of the
The accumulative influence gained as the people of God labor in a spirit of oneness for
the bigger purposes
on Gods heart is a common theme in Scripture related to prayer.Throughout Scripture
we find God calling His people together to seek His face in a corporate way.This is the
Biblical and historical pattern used of God to usher in tremendous spiritual awakenings
and push back schemes of darkness over cities and re- gions of the world.

Understanding the 21 Days Prayer

Strategy
The 21 Days for Global Harvest prayer campaign exists to call individual local
churches, campus ministry
fellowships, mission agencies and Christian campuses around the world to be
activated in daily small group prayer over 21 consecutive days.We are praying for
spiritual awakening in the body of Christ and spiritual harvest among the nations.
Each of the 21 Days focuses on a different nation. Each of the daily prayer points are
arranged around the
above three-fold emphasis in prayer for that nation. First, we pray for the body of

nation to experience deep spiritual awakening. Second, we pray for Great

Commission vision to take root
in the body of Christ in that nation.Third, we pray for the unreached and unengaged
to be made ready by
This three-fold emphasis coincides with the three prayer category headings in this
guide as we pray for a
different nation daily:

It is easy to overlook that a majority of the recorded prayers in the Bible are for the
people of God themselves.When the New Testament calls Christians to prayer, it is generally focused on
praying for comfort, cultivating Godly character, standing in the midst of trials,
encouragement, spiritual strength, overcoming temptation, growing faith and deeper
intimacy with Jesus among the body of Christ. In many evangelical circles today, we
pay little attention to this kind of focused prayer, putting much energy into praying
for the lost themselves an equally important part of our calling.Yet the order and
pattern on the heart of God must be understood and implemented to see both

them to become.We ask God to develop His people according to His definitions of a
disciple.We seek Him
to root disciples in spiritual maturity so they are not easily swayed.We call upon
God to deepen them in His Word, to rightly apply His Word, to abide and fellowship

We simultaneously pray the body of Christ to be activated in prioritizing Jesus Great
Commission and
what is left specifically the unreached and unengaged people groups of the earth.
As His body is becom- ing spiritually what we were intended there comes a natural
aligning with Gods purposes.This leads us to stand in the gap for local churches,
denominations, campus ministry fellowships and organizations to be drawn into the
activity of the Holy Spirit surrounding the Great Commission. Ministries are

church but her priority.
Great emphasis on the unreached and unengaged is produced and there is a global
church being prepared as the vehicle to see this massive harvest discipled. As we
pray, the gospel cuts to the heart of the unbeliev- ing, the Holy Spirit convicts of sin,
the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God is grasped and the truth of tem- poral and
eternal salvation coming only through Him is realized.We are trusting for a

The Power of Corporate, Collective

Prayer
At the end of Joel 2, the prophet saw far into the future to a day when the Spirit would
be poured out.
This prophetic promise was given, in context, after the people responded to Gods
mandate in Joel 2:12-17. Gods invitation revolved around the people gathering in
sacred assemblies across the land and turning to God with wholeheartedness.These
corporate assemblies purposefully seeking Gods face were the pre- cursor of the
promise of the outpouring of the Spirit in Joel 2:28-32.We find a divine pattern.
Corporate prayer seeking God with wholeheartedness is a precursor of God
In Joel 2:32 we observe Gods purpose behind the Spirits outpouring, a harvest
brought into the Kingdom
by the millions.This is what we contend for in the nations. In Acts 2, we find direct
results to this kind of praying and the first fruits of the promise of the outpouring of
His Spirit - the ingathering of 3,000 new believers. At His ascension, Jesus instructed
the disciples to return to Jerusalem and together seek His face until the promise of the
Holy Spirit was realized. A corporate sacred assembly was the birthplace of the
Church. As they waited on the Lord, the Holy Spirit came to them. Great fruitfulness
We see the same pattern in 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people who are called by my
name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. This was a corporate
calling to Israel.They were to gather together and do these three activities in an
ongoing way: (1) humble themselves (2) pray and seek my face (3) turn from wicked
ways.There is great spiritual authority released on the land when the people of
Revelation 8:3 reveals that God sees His body in a corporate, united way in relation to
prayer. Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much
incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar
which was before the throne. This verse is in the context of the seven trumpet
judgments Jesus releases upon wicked humanity and the antichrist.The clear
implication is the judgments are released in answer to the accumulated prayers of the
saints. As the body of Christ corporately and proactively seeks the coming the
Kingdom of God in power and the revealThe account in Acts 12:5-17 provides meaningful instruction on this subject. Peter is
supernaturally freed
from prison by an angel in direct response to corporate prayer.Verse 5 tells us, Peter
was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the
church. We see two forces at work Peter held in prison by Herod and a corporate body of believers interceding for
Opposition was raised against the body of believers, and they responded by gathering

God heard and was moved by their prayer, undertaking in the circumstance.Their
prayer is said to be earnest (with perseverance). A great political force was arrayed against the people of
God through Herod. But the church had the divine authority at their disposal through
the means of prayer.They were laying hold of God to orchestrate His will. God defeats
Herod through the wholehearted, perseverant prayers of a cor- porate people

nationwide protest against President Bashar al-Assads government, whose forces responded

India

India is the most ethnically diverse nation on earth, with over 2,500 distinct people groups.
Community and identity are based on caste as much as on race and language. It is the second largest population in
the world now. Indias constitution provides full religious freedom of worship and witness for
all religions.The rise of Hindutva extremism resulted in a hate campaign against Muslims in
the early 1990s and against Christians in the late 1990s as followers of foreign religions.
Issues of conversion and anti-conversion laws are of high importance and sensitivity.
The Church in India is highly diverse, has a long legacy and is, at the same time, vital and
growing, and nominal and
declining. Much of Indian Christianity is the result of people movements over the past 300
years, punctuated by local revivals. Many congregations have no first-generation believers
