| Ephesians 6:17-18 (NLT) ....and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." |
This ministry maintains prayer through prayer watches, corporate spiritual warfare, and intercession meetings. We daily pray for all prayer requests we receive and are standing in faith for your breakthrough! |
First and foremost we are a house of prayer contending for salvations, healings, deliverances, miracles, signs, wonders, and the manifest presence of God. |
| The Prayer Ministry "And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words." -Romans 8:26(NLT) This ministry began as a prayer mandate and prayer continues to be the heartbeat of this ministry. In 2004, the Holy Spirit spoke to me as I arrived in Clearwater, FL to pray for salvations, healings, deliverances, and miracles in two corporate prayer sessions a day with my ministry team. In 2007 we rented a store front and established our headquarters for our Prayer and Worship Center. In September, in obedience to the Holy Spirit, we increased our prayer watches to twelve hours each day. The prayer staff is faithful and joyful in this area of this ministry. We are praying for our city, region, and nation knowing God wants his world back!!!! On April 30, 2009, we at Lightnings are rejoicing to have fulfilled a 24/7 prayer watch mandate. "...My house shall be called a house of prayer. "(Isaiah 56:7) We also receive prayer requests and stand in prayer and faith with many for their prayer answers. |
| GOD IS GOOD!!!!!! We have received MANY praise reports!!! Continuous Holy Ghost prayer , scripture based prayer, and prophetic prayer are the flow of our prayer ministry. We are blessed and encouraged by IHOP (the International House of Prayer) in Kansas City, MO and utilize their worship and prayer ministry as an assist to our ministry, and are also turning our focus for a spiritual awakening in America. Recently, there have been other ministers in the body of Christ that are receiving the urgency to increased prayer and increase of Holy Ghost power through "praying in other tongues." We maintain this type of prayer in our ministry and believe it is this kind of praying that gives the Spirit of God the freedom to move as He wills. Please send us your prayer requests. We pray over each request for thirty days and then we continue to pray over all the prayer requests as a ministry until we receive your praise reports! God is answering prayers!! Please read some of the wonderful praise reports on this page.
