This specific model of worship and intercession is designed to allow the most amount of people to participate in praying on the microphone and still keep the theme of prayer for the city at the centre of our evening. We believe that pressing into God and drawing near to Him in intimacy often results in Him allowing us to feel what is on His heart. It is from this place of revelation that we best understand what He wants us to pray about. We are eager to give space for this and want to respond appropriately when we get leadings from God. This is a time when the Holy Spirit is encouraged to blow us in whatever direction He wills. We will focus on prayer for the city of Winnipeg and allow the Lord to guide us in what He would have us focus on for the evening. We believe that as the Lord gives us direction on what to pray, we are partnering with Him in what He wants to see happen. This is an exciting reality: God is letting you know what He is doing and invites you to partner with Him in praying it into reality in our city.

We encourage you to ask the Lord what He would have you pray during the meeting and what passage of scripture could best be used as a starting point for your prayer. Following that, wait for the prayer leader to invite people to come to the mic and pray. Keeping your prayers general enough to allow others to easily agree with them in faith will help all of us remain focused. Consider this as you choose your prayer.

At Sanctuary, we are committed to praying positive prayers that are rooted in scripture. Prophetic Intercession also follows this format, emphasizing the bible as our prayer book and the promises of God for us as His children. All prayers need to match up with scripture in their content and overall focus. This will be to the benefit of all involved and to the glory of God as well.
