Focused Prayer

1. Focused Prayer

2. There is strength in unity.

3. Acknowledge the power and authority of the ONE GOD • State the power and authority of the blood of Jesus Christ and of His Name. • Cover yourself and everyone concerned with the blood covering and the whole armor of God.

4. Time of taking dominion over the cloud of darkness that has come against them. • We will pray that God will subdue the cloud sending it into an Abyss never to return – not to Singapore or China. • Important to the revival coming for Asia.

5. Bind fear and intimidation that might come from this sickness or time of duress from pressures whether spiritual or physical. • For the Willoughby Family • Tabernacle of Joy • Joy Fellowship • Be positive and bold

6. Pray the Word • Psalm 27:3-4 (KJV) 3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

7. Psalm 46:1-3 (KJV) 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

8. Hebrews 2:15 (KJV) 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

9. Proclaim the gift of love in that the power of the love of God will work in them and through them. • Speak this into • The Willoughby’s lives • The lives of their children • Meghan • Barak • Mikayla

10. 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

11. The love of God is a powerful force. • What greater love than that a man would lay down His life for His friends. • Pray this same love would work within and through the Willoughby family. • That it will free them from any fears and allow them to walk in the liberty of faith.

12. Psalm 91:14-16 (KJV) 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

14. Pray with fervency. • One way of showing fervency is to cry out. • The Bible says to cry out with a loud voice • Old and the New Testaments employ an amazing variety of words to describe crying out, or praying aloud.

15. Inherent meaning in these words includes some sort of audible sound • The kind of sounds implied by these words varies – anything from a low whisper or moan all the way to earsplitting shouts.

16. Words for prayer that have a built-in meaning of audible sound are particularly evident in passages that PROMISE God’s hearing.

17. “Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” – Jeremiah. 33:3

18. This first call or cry generally carries the meaning of calling aloud or crying out. • It can be an invitation to God to step into the situation

19. “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me.” – Psalms 50:15

20. “The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.” – Psalms 145:18

21. “Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.” – Psalms 55:17 • The connotation of this cry is one of being a loud humming or murmuring – even to a growl or roar.

22. “In my distress,” David says elsewhere, “I called upon the LORD, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, even to His ears.” – Psalms 18:6 • A higher- pitched shout for help is the meaning of this outcry to God.

23. David continues assuring us, • “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.” – Psalms 34:15

24. The word David uses in this Psalm means an actual shriek, as if in grief: • “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.” – Psalms 34:17

25. When David proclaims • “Hear my cry, O God.” • He is conveying in the word a ringing or shrill sound.

26. We know from our own families that a true father’s heart hears his children’s cries, and that the children naturally cry to him. • In the same way, crying to God is our child-to Father- impulse, planted in our hearts by the Holy Ghost within us.

27. Gal. 4:6 • “Because you are sons,” Paul teaches us in the New Testament, “God has sent forth the Sprit of His Son into your hearts, crying out. ‘Abba, Father!’” • The Greek verb used here for crying out is a strong word, usually translated as “shouting.”

28. Because God is • Compassionate, • Gracious, and • Always faithful to His promise, • He will indeed hear and answer these cries that He Himself inspires.

29. Sis. Willoughby always says, “when we make proclamations, we need to seal it with a dance.” • Praise God for victory and for being • An on-time, • All knowing God.

30. Warfare Worship • Praying in tongues, • Dancing, • Spinning, • Leaping, • Not in desperation but in boldness.

31. We come boldly before the throne of God knowing that God is ruler of the kingdom and can do as He will. • Spend this time shouting with the voice of triumph • Using the postures of worship.
