One Day

One Day

“When Jesus walked out of the tomb, the word impossible was removed from our vocabulary. The size of your prayers depends on the size of your God. If your God is small, you’ll pray man-sized prayers. But if your God knows no limits, then neither will your prayers.” 

Joyful Praying

Joyful Praying

Prayer Focus: As you pray today, choose to pray with joy and pray all day with all types of prayers for Encounter. Pray longs prayers, short prayers, popcorn (one line) prayers, silent prayers, verbal prayers, praise prayers, and prayers with the Holy Spirit. Pray prayers of thanks for the leadership and staff at COS. The entire staff is amazingly and wonderfully supportive, and praying for Encounter too. 

Raise Up A Remnant

Raise Up A Remnant

“If we circle the promises of God, God will deliver on them. It’s not a question of if, it’s only a question of when. But if we are determined to pray as long as it takes, revival will come.”

“The next great awakening won’t be the result of a planning meeting. Just as it was for Pentecost, it will be birthed in a prayer meeting.” 

Pray The Price

Pray The Price

“One of the mistakes we make in reading history, whether biblical history or history in general, is thinking that those who lived before us were different than us. They weren’t. If God did it for them, He can do it for us. And if we do what they did in the Bible, I’m convinced that God will do what He did. Nothing has changed. God wants to renew His deeds in our day. But we need to pray the price.”

I Heard You The First Time

I Heard You The First Time

Prayer Focus: Has it occurred to you that the answer for which you continue to pray may already be on its way? God heard you the first time you prayed! Don’t be discouraged today but be encouraged that God is faithful and He always hears us when we pray. Today, don’t ask God. Thank Him for the answer that’s already on the way! Many of us are familiar with the song, “This Is How I Fight My Battles.” Change the words a bit and sing to God all day today, “This Is How YOU Fight My Battles!” “This Is How YOU Fight My Battles!” 

Turn Your Worries Into Prayers

Turn Your Worries Into Prayers

If you worry about everything, you’ll have a much higher likelihood of praying without ceasing if you simply learn to turn your worries into prayers. The Holy Spirit can redeem your anxious thoughts by using them as prayer triggers. 

Think of worry as a prayer alarm. Every time it goes off, you put it to prayer. And when you do, you’ll discover that your anxieties will evaporate like early morning fog. So quit wasting your worries. Redeem them by recycling them. Turn your worries into prayers!” 

Holy Ground

Holy Ground

Prayer Focus: Pray for divine appointments and interruptions from God invading the routine of your life and the life of those you are praying for. Pray that God supernaturally leads people to Encounter. Pray for people who are losing hope and for those who are contemplating suicide. Pray that God would intersect and invade their lives with His hope and love.
