Day 4 in prayer room - September 28, 2010
Matt 6:5 - When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites and do it for show.
Matt 6:6 - Pray in privacy, seclusion, isolation of secret place
Matt 6:7 - Keep prayer simple - no need to repeat
Matt 6:8 - Don't pray as if the Father doesn't already know your needs
Matt 6:9-13 PRAY LIKE THIS:
Our Father...
high; lifted up; good Dad; we belong to You - we are Your people and You are our God
Who is in heaven...
You dwell in perfection; You possess a kingdom founded on righteousness and justice and love that you have placed in the hearts of us, Your people, through the obedience of Your son, Jesus Christ
Hallowed (kept Holy) be Your name...
You are the only one worthy of praise; there is none like You; none can compare to You, the name that is above every other name; You are exalted high above every authority and principality
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done...
Now that we have become one with your Son, now that we abide in the vine and the vine in us, the cry of our heart is that You would take dominion and take Your rightful place as the Righteous Judge, King of Kings and Lord of Lords in this realm...that the righteousness and justice that form the foundations of your throne would become the standard and foundation of our hearts, society and culture. Let the desire for Your pure and perfect love consume our thoughts, words, actions and interactions. Place in us the zeal You have for Your own name...that Your ways would become our ways and Your thoughts, our thoughts. That once again what exists in the spirit and supernatural would exist in the flesh and natural. That we would take every thought captive and take up our cross daily and die to our carnal desires...that the word of God would dwell in us richly and that we would desire Your will above all others and that through our obedience to Your commands would demonstrate Love.
On earth as it is in heaven...
Your throne is already established in heaven...let the paradigm of your kingdom of heaven invade this realm! That there would no longer be division, separation and divorce but that You would honor Your son by answering his prayer that we would be One just as he and You are One.
Give us this day our daily bread...
Jesus, You are the Bread of Life that satisfies every living thing. Those who eat of You will never hunger but will be filled and completely satisfied. Thank you for giving us everything we could ever need! You give us yourself daily...for man doesn't live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. We feast on Your words for Your words are truly life to the Body and light to the soul - a lamp for our path.
And forgive us our debts...
Thank You, Jesus, that for as many as who would believe in your testimony, You have removed our sin as far as the east from the west and have released us from the entanglements of sin and have provided us a way through your blood to overcome the weakness of the flesh and evil of this age to become Holy as You are Holy. According to Your great lovingkindness, mercy and compassion, You have not dealt with us according to what we deserve for the price of sin is death. Thank You for demonstrating the greatest Love - forgiveness, laying down your life to call us no longer servants but friends.
As we also have forgiven (left, remitted and let go of debts and have given up resentment against) our debtors...
Thank you that because you have forgiven us and keep no record of wrongs, we can forgive another and keep no record of their wrongs. Let love reign supreme in our hearts for this is the most excellent way! Thank you for delivering us from a spirit of offense, judgment, bitterness, and anger. As we have freely received, teach us to freely give of your mercy and lovingkindness.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one...
Thank You, Jesus, that You do not lead us into temptation and that You will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. Thank you that You have been tempted in every way being fully man and have already overcome the world. I thank You that no temptation has seized us except what is common to man. Thank You that You promise that as we resist the devil, he will flee from us. Thank you that through You, Jesus, we are delivered from every wicked vice. Thank you for Your peace that guards our hearts and minds against the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen!
Thank you, God, that all things come from You, are held together by the Word of your power, and end in You. Thank you for being the ONLY one worthy to open the scroll and release its seals. You are worthy to receive praise and honor and glory for yours is an eternal kingdom that has no end! Praise be to You - You who has always been, is, and will always be - to the One who has all authority and power! We, as Your Bride, agree with you that Your kingdom WILL come and Your will WILL be done on earth as it is in heaven for You who promised are Faithful and True!!
Hosea 2:14 Allure us into the wilderness and speak tenderly to us that we would repent and return to you. That we would not shrink back in fear when we see the dry and barren place you are leading us to, but we would be strengthened in our hearts by the power of your Holy Spirit.
Day 3 in prayer room - September 23, 2010
Praise you, Lord - in your heaven and your earth! Worthy are you to be praised! For only you can give perfect peace in every storm, only in you can a tree bring forth fruit in its season, only you can make beauty from brokenness, and only you can sustain the weary with just a word!
*Time in prayer room dedicated to praying specifically for intimate team.
John 17
John 17:11 - "...Holy Father, keep in Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are one."
Father, I am praying for the Onething campus and community out of John 17. Jesus, these are YOUR words - this is the cry of YOUR heart - you desire that we would be One within ourselves, One with you, and One with each other. You said that when we are One, operating in a spirit of unity in the bond of peace, that it radiates to the world the truth of who you are and releases grace and faith to believe in you!
God, I am asking that you would pour out your spirit and grace without measure to Onething campus and community...that you would awaken our hearts to pray and genuinely consider one another; that the selflessness and love that comes through prayer would fan the flame of your love inside of us. In the name of Jesus, I tear down every stronghold of fear of relationship and any fear of rejection or exposure or vulnerability. I declare perfect love casts out ALL fear and I come into agreement with you Holy Spirit and invite your perfect love into the intimate team and campus.
I thank you that when you invade us with your love, it is easier to keep peace and thereby keep unity. Unite us in love! Father, give us eyes to see the beauty in diversity and how our differences balance each other. I pray against a spirit of offense. I pray that in humility we would consider one another higher than ourselves. That it would be our joy to yield to one another in love.
I pray that the corporate cry that comes from Onething would be, "God, we long to be with you!"
We just want to love you more today
Than we did yesterday
So come and love us like you do...
Praise you, Lord - in your heaven and your earth! Worthy are you to be praised! For only you can give perfect peace in every storm, only in you can a tree bring forth fruit in its season, only you can make beauty from brokenness, and only you can sustain the weary with just a word!

Day 2 in prayer room - September 21, 2010
Praise the Lord your God for He is God and He is high and lifted up above every principality and every ideology!
He is WORTHY! Declare My worthiness to the nations!
Your eyes flicker with flames of fire
Burning right through every other lover!
This morning and upon entering into the prayer room, I sense the theme for today to be seeking God as "the Beloved."
Father, I pray that we would establish Jesus as our Beloved at Onething. That in each heart we would regard you not just as Master or Lord or King, but as Friend and Lover of our souls! Just like the lovesick shulamite who searched all throughout the night for the One that her heart loved, I pray that we would fall more in love with You and that would keep our fires burning to keep seeking after You in prayer.
End the separation, God...All we want is to be near You, with You where You are!
SOS 3:1-4; 5:2-16
For those whose hearts have fallen asleep...I say, "Wake up, O Sleepers! It is time to awaken Love!!" (SOS 5:2)
For those who have lost their hearing...I declare that you have ears to hear what your Beloved says. (SOS 5:2)
For those who have grown weary...I say, "Strengthen what remains for there is no cost counted in Love." (SOS 5:3, Rev 3:2)
For those who have lost heart in seeking...Love will lead you on. "Do not lose heart! I will withdraw to test your hunger and desire for Me." (SOS 5:6)
For those watchmen who have grown weary in watching and have let doubt and bitterness overcome the call & for those who have lost sight of the LOVE and have become legalistic...Grace and mercy to you! May you be given eyes to see and ears to hear once again, that you may declare to God's people the signs! (SOS 5:7,9)
SOS 5:9 - The watchmen ask the lovesick woman, "What is your Beloved more than another beloved?"
I believe this is the question of the hour. The world is looking at the Church, not seeing any difference except legalistic traditions and is asking, "Why is your God better than these other gods of other religions, better than my understanding of other gods, better than my self sufficiency?" And the Church, because she has not had the personal revelation and encounter of the intimate communion (bedchamber experience) with God, cannot answer how the Lovesick woman in the passage answered...
SOS 5:10 - "...He is the chief among 10,000."
Oh God, I'm asking that you would give us the revelation of Jesus as Lover, as our Beloved today! I pray that you would encounter us today with that ravishing, jealous, fiery gaze of your eyes!
God, you are raising up an army of laid-down, lovesick who contend for justice and righteousness - not out of obligation, but out of pure love. We need a love revelation that will lead to a love revolution so we may declare to your people who you really are so that when we do, the chains of bondage break free!
Holy Spirit, I thank you that you know all things. You know the end from the beginning. You know every corner of our hearts. I praise you that for each person on this campus and for the campus in general that you know the plans you have for us and they are good plans to prosper us and not to harm us, but to give us hope and a future! I thank you that you have chosen us for such a time as this to declare your praises and sing of your goodness and manifest your kingdom in the earth.
Father, I thank you that Love (Jesus) is the foundation of the Kingdom. I thank you that prayer is one of the greatest demonstrations of Love. And so you have chosen us that we would be a house of prayer for all peoples - that you would set us up to be a house of Love...a dwelling place for Love to manifest himself.
It is an honor. Father, would you send your Holy Spirit to stir us up to pray for one another and so demonstrate Love. Teach us to sit and wait and hear from you and to declare in the open what you tell us in the secret. Holy Spirit, we as a campus desire to do the will of the Father, so I ask that you would give us ears to hear and willing hearts to say yes to you no matter what the charge. I pray that you would strengthen what little faith we have - increase it, God, and let your peace guard our hearts and minds so that we would give the enemy no authority by our doubt.
