A Week Of Corporate Prayer

Prayer Summaries (January 5-10, 2026)

01-05 Prayer Call: Fasting Kickoff, Intercession, and Spiritual Breakthrough Strategies: Minister Adria Shaw

Comprehensive Summary of the Prayer Call and Fasting Kickoff

This gathering was an early-morning (fourth watch, 6:01 a.m.) corporate prayer call launching a month of fasting and prayer at the start of 2026. The time was marked by intense intercession, prophetic exhortation, and encouragement to walk closely with God, hear His voice clearly, and stand on the wall in prayer as gatekeepers for families, ministries, and cities.

The central focus was on seeking God first, living sensitively to the Holy Spirit, standing in the gap through prayer, and preparing spiritually for what God wants to do corporately and individually in this season of fasting.

(1) Main Message / Theme

Main Theme:

God is calling His people into deeper intimacy, sensitivity, and responsibility in prayer—especially during this season of fasting—so that they can:

  • Walk in clarity, not confusion
  • Exercise their God-given authority in the earth
  • Stand on the wall as intercessors and gatekeepers for families, churches, cities, and generations
  • Experience breakthrough, healing, and manifestation of God’s promises

This time of prayer and fasting is not just a religious exercise; it is a strategic, prophetic, and preparatory season where God wants His people:

  • Already prepared for spiritual warfare (not scrambling after the battle starts)
  • Spiritually sensitive enough to hear God’s voice, follow His leading, and avoid traps
  • Positioned to receive major breakthrough, clarity, strategy, and direction

(2) Fresh Revelation & Spiritual Insights

Several key spiritual insights came forth during the prayer:

a. You Are Created With God’s Nature and Authority

  • The prayer highlighted that when God created man, He breathed into his nostrils and man became a living soul.
  • It was said: “We are a little God. We have the same abilities that our Father had.”
    • In context, this was not saying humans are God, but that we were created in His image and likeness, with delegated authority and creative power through our words.

Insight:

Just as God gave Adam the authority to name the animals (Genesis 2), God has given believers the authority to speak, declare, and shape atmospheres through faith-filled words.

“God has given you the ability to call those things as not as they already are.”

This reflects the biblical idea:

  • Romans 4:17 – God “calls those things which be not as though they were.”

b. Prayer as a Place of Spiritual Legislation

The prayer strongly emphasized that:

  • Prayer is not just asking; it is legislating, decreeing, and denouncing spiritual wickedness and opposition.
  • When you pray, you denounce every spiritual wickedness, scheme, hindrance, and sickness that tries to plague your life.

Insight:

Believers are not passive in prayer. They function like spiritual watchmen and intercessors who stand on the wall and intercept the plans of the enemy.

c. Preparedness Before the Battle

A powerful insight came through a reference to a warrior who didn’t have to get ready for war because he was already prepared. The implication:

  • In his personal time, he sought the Lord and heard from Him, so when it was time for battle, he had everything he needed.

Insight:

This is a season of preparation. You don’t wait until the crisis or warfare arrives to become spiritual. You build your prayer life now, so you’re already fortified when the battle comes.

d. Fasting as Corporate and Personal Breakthrough

The leaders declared that this fast will bring:

  • Corporate breakthrough for the ministry and community
  • Individual breakthrough: clarity, strategy, plans, healing, financial ideas, and freedom from worry

God wants to do something:

  • Corporate (in the vision and the church)
  • Personal (in each individual’s life, mind, body, and circumstances)

e. Sensitivity to God’s Voice and Timing

Multiple times, the call emphasized:

  • “Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.”
  • God will warn you: Don’t go this way, don’t connect with that person, avoid that situation.
  • You will become so sensitive that you’ll say, “I can’t go that way; something in my spirit is telling me not to go.”

The story of Samuel and Eli was referenced:

  • Samuel kept hearing God calling him.
  • Eli finally instructed him: “The next time you hear the Lord’s voice, say, ‘I hear Thee.’”
  • The prayer paraphrased: “The next time you hear the Lord’s voice, say, ‘I hear Thee, Lord.’”

Insight:

This fast is sharpening spiritual hearing. God is training your ears to be “fixed in the rhythm of the Spirit”, recognizing His voice over every other voice.

f. Intercession Has Weight With God

Using Abraham as an example, the prayer emphasized:

  • God told Abraham about His plan concerning Sodom and Gomorrah.
  • Because of Abraham’s relationship, God allowed him to intercede.
  • Abraham’s standing in the gap mattered so much that it affected how God dealt with the city.

Insight:

You have such spiritual weight that:

  • God reveals things to you because He knows you will pray.
  • God may spare, cover, or protect others “because of who you are” and your position as an intercessor.

g. Watchmen on the Wall (Fourth Watch Prayer)

The prayer drew attention to the fourth watch (the early morning hours) and stressed:

  • Being on the wall in the third and fourth watch intercepts what the enemy plans in the night.
  • If God wakes you up—even just to go to the restroom—use that moment to pray.

Insight:

Random awakenings can be divine appointments to intercede. These are not just sleep disturbances; they can be prayer assignments.

h. Guard Where You Lay Your Burdens

A sobering word was given:

“Too many times, we can’t lay it at the wrong feet in this season. Be sensitive to whose feet you lay [your burdens] at.”

Insight:

Not every person or place is a safe place for your heart. Some burdens are meant to be laid at Jesus’ feet in prayer, not in front of people who can’t handle them or may mishandle them.

01-06 Prayer Summary: God of Possibilities & Embodying Faith: Minister L.Michelle Salvant

Summary of the Morning Prayer Call

This morning's gathering was a powerful, Spirit-led prayer call facilitated primarily by L. Michelle, with contributions from others. The atmosphere was charged with faith and expectation, centered on the theme of God's limitless power and the believer's call to reconnect with their initial faith and zeal. The session was about collectively entering into God's presence, stirring up faith, and declaring His promises over every area of life. It served as a spiritual recalibration, especially significant as it took place during a corporate fast.

(1) Comprehensive Main Message & Theme

The central theme of the prayer call was "Praying to the God of Possibilities." The core message was a powerful reminder that while human ability and understanding have clear limitations, there are no such boundaries for God. The group was called to shift their perspective from what is humanly impossible to what is divinely possible. This wasn't just a hopeful sentiment but an active, faith-filled declaration. The prayer emphasized that God is not a distant, abstract power but a personal, all-knowing, and all-present Father who is intimately involved in the details of our lives. The session was a summons to return to a state of radical belief, fervent passion, and complete trust in God's power to heal, restore, provide, and fulfill His promises, no matter the circumstances.

(2) Fresh Revelation & Spiritual Insight

A key spiritual insight that emerged was the concept of "embodying our faith" beyond mere slogans or external symbols. L. Michelle pointed out the common Christian phrases and merchandise like "What Would Jesus Do?" bracelets and "Jesus, take the wheel" bumper stickers. The revelation was that the current season calls believers to move past these external expressions and to internalize and live out these truths. Instead of just saying "Jesus, take the wheel," the call is to actually surrender control of our lives, thoughts, and actions to Him daily. This is a move from a declarative faith to an embodied faith, where our very lives become a testament to Christ's presence and leadership.

Another insight was the powerful rhetorical question: "Who bewitched you and told you that God won't or can't do it?" This challenged listeners to identify and silence the internal and external voices of doubt that contradict God's promises. It served as a spiritual check-up, urging a return to the pure, unadulterated truth of God's unchanging love and capability, reminding everyone that nothing can separate us from His love or His plan for our lives.

(3) Key Practical & Relevant Takeaways

  • God's Personal Nature: God isn't just a cosmic force; He is intimately aware of you. He knows the number of hairs on your head, sees every tear, and understands the unspoken desires and hurts of your heart. This knowledge should bring comfort and confidence.
  • The Power of Acknowledgment: The simple act of acknowledging God in all your ways throughout the day invites His divine direction. Your steps can be divinely ordered if you consciously connect with Him.
  • Heart Maintenance is Crucial: We must actively present the hurt, broken, and guarded parts of our hearts to God. He is the only one who can make them "pliable again" and open for the free flow of His Spirit, which is essential for spiritual vitality.
  • Your Presence Here and Now is Purposeful: You were created for this specific time in history ("this dispensation of time"). Your life is not an accident. Being alive in this era is a divine calling and a privilege.
  • Doubt is an Enemy to be Silenced: Be aware of the "voices" that sow doubt about God's ability or willingness to act in your life. Actively choose to believe God's reality over the reality presented by your circumstances or by others.
  • Corporate Prayer Amplifies Power: When believers gather (even on a phone call), the King of Kings is present. This collective faith makes "much available" and creates a powerful spiritual atmosphere for breakthrough.

(4) All Scripture & Bible References

  • Matthew 19:26 (New Living Translation): This was the foundational scripture for the entire prayer call. "Jesus looked at them intently and said, ‘Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God, everything is possible.’"
  • Names of God (Paraphrased & Declared): Various names of God were invoked to declare His character and provision:
    • King of Kings and Lord of Lords: Acknowledging His supreme authority.
    • Alpha and the Omega: Recognizing Him as the beginning and the end.
    • Author and Finisher of our faith: Trusting His role in our spiritual journey.
    • Jehovah Rapha: The Lord our Healer.
    • Jehovah Jireh: The Lord our Provider.
    • Jehovah Sabaoth: The Lord of Hosts (Armies).
    • Jehovah Nissi (Referenced as "the Lord, our banner"): The Lord is our Banner of victory.
    • Jehovah Shalom: The Lord is our Peace.
  • Greater is he that is in you... (Paraphrased from 1 John 4:4): "Greater is he who's on the inside of us than he who's in the world."

  • Abraham believed God... (Paraphrased from Romans 4:3 & Genesis 15:6): "Abraham believed God and he counted it to him as righteousness."
  • The prayers of the righteous... (Paraphrased from James 5:16): "The prayers of the righteous make much available."
  • Greater works shall we do... (Paraphrased from John 14:12): "...you said greater works shall we do, because you're at the right hand of the Father."

(5) Standout Quotes & Reflective Moments

  • "We used to say, what would Jesus do? We had the bracelets, the t-shirts... Today is the day that we begin to embody those things."
  • "How was it in the beginning, Lord, that zeal, that fresh fire, that yearning for you, God, I thank you that you bring us back into that place... where all we want was you."
  • "Who bewitched you and told you that God won't or can't do it? Oh, to think something we did would cause the love of God to be separated from us. Oh, that's a lie."
  • "Silence every voice that is not of you in this season. We declare that we have ears to hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying."
  • "Pick it up again. Pick the vision up again. Serve again. Sow again. Believe again. Pray again."
  • After the main prayer, Apostle Carlos remarked with joy, "I love when you say, 'Good morning, Holy Spirit.' ...That just put a smile on my face, and I'm just excited about the day." This simple comment captured the relational, joyful essence of the call.

(6) Key Action Points

  1. Start Your Day with the Holy Spirit: Begin each morning by consciously greeting the Holy Spirit. Say, "Good morning, Holy Spirit," to acknowledge His presence and welcome Him into your day.
  2. Surrender the "Impossible": Identify one area of your life that feels "humanly impossible." Intentionally present it to the "God of Possibilities" in prayer, laying it down at His feet and declaring Matthew 19:26 over it.
  3. Conduct a "Zeal" Check-up: Reflect on the early days of your faith. Ask God to bring you back to that "first love" passion and zeal, where you couldn't get enough of His presence, His Word, and fellowship.
  4. Embody Your Faith: Choose one practical way today to move from simply saying a Christian slogan (like "Jesus, take the wheel") to actually living it. What does surrendering the "wheel" of your finances, your schedule, or a specific relationship look like today?
  5. Revisit Prophetic Words: Take time to remember or find notes on prophetic words that have been spoken over your life. Re-read them, pray over them, and declare, "You said you would do it. And so shall it be."
  6. Believe Again: Make a conscious decision to "pick it up again." Whatever vision, dream, or spiritual discipline you've let fall, pick it up today. Pray again. Serve again. Believe again.

01-07 Prayer Summary: Dwelling in God's Protection and Activating Promises: Elder Chris & Prophetess Lakisha Wyche

Comprehensive Main Message & Theme

The overarching theme of this prayer call was dwelling in God's absolute protection and activating His promises through faith, prayer, and corporate agreement. The session was a powerful declaration of trust in God as the ultimate refuge, protector, and provider, especially during a time of consecrated fasting. The central message was that by consciously making the Lord our dwelling place, we are not only shielded from all forms of evil, disease, and disaster but are also positioned to receive divine breakthroughs, favor, and the full manifestation of God's prophesied promises for our lives. The prayers emphasized moving from merely believing God's Word to actively standing on it, walking in the authority it grants, and expecting miraculous results in every area—personal, familial, and financial.

2. Fresh Revelation & Spiritual Insight

A key insight that emerged was the connection between consecration and manifestation. The leaders emphasized that the current season of fasting and prayer is not just a religious exercise but a spiritual act of "stretching" that positions believers for breakthrough.

  • Emphasis on dwelling in the “secret place” (intimacy with God) as the gateway to divine protection and angelic assistance.
  • The “fourth watch” (early morning prayer time) carries strategic spiritual significance—declarations and intercession released during this watch set the tone for the day and catalyze breakthroughs.
  • Unity and agreement among believers amplifies results; being on “one accord” makes seemingly impossible things possible.
  • This is a “year of manifestation”—prophetic words and long-held desires are coming to pass “just like that,” highlighting God’s swift orchestration.
  • The Spirit of prayer is being poured out afresh; prayer is not occasional but continual—“man should always pray.”

3) Practical, Everyday Key Takeaways

  • Live closely with God (through prayer, Word, and obedience) to experience peace, protection, and guidance in daily decisions—even the small things like what to say and how to respond.
  • Don’t fear crises or unseen dangers; trust God’s promises instead of reacting in anxiety.
  • Prioritize unity—pray together, fast together, and encourage one another; there is power in agreement.
  • Expect divine favor in ordinary routines: unexpected emails, phone calls, and opportunities can be God’s swift answers.
  • Train children and young adults in holiness and purpose; cover them in prayer as they return to school and campus life.
  • Practice holy responses—be deliberate in how you speak and act, especially in moments of pressure.

4) Scriptures and Bible References (Quoted/Paraphrased)

  • Psalm 91 (NLT) – Core passage read aloud:
    • “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty… He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.”
    • Protection from “every trap” and “deadly disease.”
    • “He will cover you with his feathers… his faithful promises are your armor and protection.”

    • Divine response: “I will rescue those who love me… when they call on me, I will answer… I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
  • Romans 12:1 (paraphrased) – Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.
  • Amos 3:3 (paraphrased) – “How can two walk together unless they agree?” (used to emphasize the power of agreement).
  • Luke 18:1 (paraphrased) – “Men ought always to pray” (referenced to cultivate continual prayer).
  • 3 John 1:2 (referenced) – Prosperity and health as the soul prospers (linked to spiritual, physical, and financial blessings).
  • 1 Peter 1:16 / Leviticus 11:44–45 (paraphrased) – “Be holy, for I am holy.”
  • Genesis 11:6 (Tower of Babel, paraphrased) – When people are of one accord, nothing they plan will be impossible.

5. Standout Quotes & Reflective Moments

  • "We don't thank you for what you do for us, but for who you are to us, God." - Prophetess Kisha. This was a powerful re-centering of worship, moving from a transactional view of God to a relational one.
  • "This is the year of manifestation... Your Word should not lie. It should not come back void." - Prophetess Kisha. This was a bold declaration that infused the atmosphere with faith and expectation.
  • "It's important how we respond... we thank you, God, that we're responding holy, holy, holy in this season." - Prophetess Kisha. This provided a deeply practical instruction on navigating daily life with spiritual maturity.
  • The testimony from L. Michelle about receiving an "unexpected email yesterday of a favorable opportunity" served as an immediate confirmation of the prayers. The group celebrated this as a "just like that" miracle from God, reinforcing that their consecration was already producing fruit.
  • The closing remarks from Apostle Carlos linking the power of being on "one accord" to the Tower of Babel story was a profound moment of reflection, shifting the group's perspective from simply praying together to understanding they were operating in a powerful spiritual principle.

6. Key Action Points

  1. Declare Psalm 91 Over Your Life: Don't just read it; speak it out as a personal declaration. Make a conscious choice to "live in the shadow of the Most High" today.
  2. Practice a "Holy Response": When faced with a challenge or provocation today, pause before reacting. Ask God how He wants you to respond and act in a way that reflects His holiness and maintains your peace.
  3. Activate Corporate Prayer: Identify one area where you need a breakthrough. Reach out to a trusted fellow believer and ask them to stand in agreement with you in prayer.
  4. Yield Your Day to God: Take a moment, as Elder Chris prayed, to consciously present yourself—your thoughts, your schedule, your body, your family—to God as a "living sacrifice." Yield your members to Him and ask for His guidance.
  5. Stir Up Expectation: Believe that this is a year of manifestation. Remind yourself of the prophecies and promises spoken over your life. Stand on God's Word with confident expectation, looking for "just like that" moments of divine favor and intervention.
  6. Pray Specifically for the Next Generation: Intentionally pray for the children and young adults in your life. Pray for their protection, for them to be lights in their environments, and for them to grow in holiness.

01-08 Prayer Summary: Corporate Prayer for a Season of More: Pastors Mitchell & Lisa Ward

Summary: Corporate Prayer for a Season of More

This morning's gathering was a powerful, unified time of corporate prayer and intercession. The central theme was actively seeking and positioning oneself to receive "more" from God in this new season—more intimacy, more breakthrough, more purpose, and more of His presence. The prayer was characterized by bold declarations of faith, breaking spiritual hindrances, and aligning with God's promises for supernatural increase and transformation. It was a collective cry for God to expand every believer's capacity to receive what He has planned, emphasizing that prayer is not a last resort but the first and primary response to every situation in life.

Main Message and Theme

The overarching message was one of "Supernatural Increase and Spiritual Stamina for a Season of More." The speakers led the group in a unified prayer to move beyond past limitations and spiritual stagnation. This involves intentionally seeking God's face (not just His hand), cultivating a deeper relationship with Him through practices like fasting and consistent prayer, and actively believing for the manifestation of His promises. The core idea is that God is ready to pour out blessings, favor, and revelation, but believers must prepare themselves by clearing out old mindsets, distractions, and hindrances to create the capacity to receive all that He has in store.

Fresh Revelation and Spiritual Insight

A key spiritual insight that emerged was the concept of "Heaven Agrees." The prayer was not just a one-way petition but a declaration of alignment with the will of Heaven. By praying in unity and according to God's Word, the participants were seen as partnering with what God has already established. This reframes prayer from simply asking to actively agreeing with and calling forth what Heaven has already decreed.

Another powerful insight was the connection between ridding oneself of hindrances and increasing one's capacity to receive. Pastor Lisa noted, "That means that we have to rid ourselves of some things in order to receive more." This paints a picture of spiritual decluttering—letting go of old weights, sins, and mindsets that do not serve one's purpose—as a necessary prerequisite for God to fill believers with the "more" He has promised.

Key Practical Takeaways for Everyday Life

  • Mindset Renewal is a Daily Battle: The fight against depression, anxiety, and oppression begins in the mind. We are encouraged to actively renew our minds by focusing on God's truth, declaring His promises over our thoughts, and choosing joy regardless of external circumstances.
  • Prayer is Your First Response, Not Your Last Resort: In any situation—good or bad—the first action should be to turn to God in prayer. This builds a foundation of reliance on God and positions you to receive His guidance and strength immediately.
  • Stop Looking Back (Except to Give Praise): The past should only be a reference point to see how far God has brought you. Actively press forward toward the future God has for you, leaving behind past failures, hurts, and limitations. Dwelling on the past hinders you from flourishing in the present.
  • Unity Amplifies Your Spiritual Power: While individual prayer is vital, there is exponential power when believers come together in agreement. As the prayer highlighted, "One could put 1,000 to flight, but 2 could put 10,000 to flight." Seek out opportunities to pray with others.
  • Favor is Proactive: God's favor isn't something you have to chase; it is actively seeking you. Live with the expectation that "favor has already located our address" and that God is working ahead of you to open doors.

All Scripture and Bible References

  • Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Quoted and Paraphrased): "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to hurt you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Key Action Points

  1. Seek God's Face, Not Just His Hand: Participate in the church-wide fast with the primary goal of deepening your relationship with God. Ask for revelation and intimacy, not just for material things.

  6. Walk in Expectation: Live each day with the confident expectation that God's favor is actively seeking you and that He is ordering your steps for uncommon and unorthodox blessings.

01-09 Prayer Summary: Walking in the Newness of God's Perfect Will: Prophetess Shawnchine Tinson

Prayer Call Summary: "Walking in the Newness of God's Perfect Will"

This morning's session was a powerful, spirit-led time of corporate prayer and reflection, marking the fifth day of a week-long fast. Led by Prophetess Shawnchine, the core of the gathering was a deep, heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving, petition, and declaration, built upon the foundation of learning to be content and empowered in all circumstances through Christ. The atmosphere was one of profound gratitude for what God is doing, a sense of urgent preparation for "the next," and a confident expectation of answered prayers and supernatural shifting. The leaders, Apostle Nicky and Apostle Carlos, reinforced these themes, highlighting the personal pruning and divine protection that result from such consecrated times of fasting and prayer.

(1) Comprehensive Main Message & Theme

The central theme was embracing a life of active obedience, spiritual alignment, and unwavering faith to walk into the "newness" God has prepared. This involves a multi-faceted approach:

  • Contentment and Empowerment: Learning the secret of being content in every situation—whether in lack or abundance—because our strength and sufficiency come from Christ alone.
  • Thanksgiving as a Weapon: Actively thanking God not just for what He has done, but for what He is currently doing and has promised for the future. This includes giving thanks for answered prayers, divine protection (even through rejections), and the blessings that are on the way.
  • Divine Order and Unity: A call for the body of Christ to walk in unity, divine order, and love. The power of agreement in corporate prayer was emphasized as a catalyst for building a "hedge of protection" and seeing greater manifestation of God's promises.
  • Walking in Purpose and Newness: The fast and prayers are preparing believers for a new season, characterized by renewed minds and strength, spiritual awareness, and walking purposefully into the greatness God has ordained. This "newness" encompasses everything from healing and restoration to new homes, marriages, and ministries.

(2) Fresh Revelation & Spiritual Insight

Several key spiritual insights were shared that provided a deeper understanding of the current season:

  • Fasting as Personal Pruning: Apostle Nicky shared a significant revelation that while this was a corporate fast, for her it became a time of "personal pruning." God used the time of praying for others to reveal areas in her own life that needed development and places where she needed to "get out of the way" so He could move. This reframes fasting not just as an act of petition for others, but as a divine tool for self-assessment and sanctification.
  • Prayer Builds a Hedge of Protection: Apostle Carlos drew a powerful parallel to the book of Job, explaining that our collective prayers are actively "building a hedge of protection" around us, our families, and our work. Just as Satan noted the hedge around Job, our dedicated time of ministering to the Lord in prayer establishes a spiritual barrier that covers and protects us.
  • Rejection as Divine Protection: A standout insight from Prophetess Shawnchine's prayer was thanking God for "the rejections that had came before us because you wanted to protect us." This powerfully reframes experiences of rejection not as personal failures or losses, but as God's sovereign hand redirecting and shielding us from unseen dangers or things not meant for us.
  • The Power of Declaring Who God Is: Minister Adria highlighted that when we declare "You are a healer," we are not just stating a fact but confidently aligning our faith with His character. This act of declaration shifts something in the spiritual realm, moving beyond hopeful requests to a firm, faith-filled stance that activates His power.

(3) Key Takeaways for Everyday Life

  • Find Contentment Where You Are: Your current situation, whether it feels like prosperity or poverty, does not define your spiritual state. The real secret is learning to draw strength from Christ, which makes you resilient and effective regardless of external circumstances.
  • Practice Active Gratitude: Start thanking God for things you don't see yet. Thank Him for the "more" that is coming, for the healing that is manifesting, and for the wisdom you need. This shifts your focus from lack to abundance.
  • See Setbacks as Setups: When you face a closed door or a rejection, pause and consider that it might be God's protection. This perspective can turn disappointment into gratitude and trust.
  • Your Personal Consecration Affects Everything: The time you set aside for God—fasting, early morning prayer—is not in vain. It is actively building spiritual defenses around your life and family and preparing you for what's next.
  • Unity Amplifies Power: Don't underestimate the power of praying with other believers. When you walk in agreement with others, you tap into a corporate anointing that brings about "greater things" for both the group and you as an individual.

(4) All Scripture & Bible References Mentioned

  • Philippians 4:9-13 (Paraphrased/Read): This was the foundational scripture for the prayer. Prophetess Shawnchine read from a version that included:
    • v. 9: "Practice what you've learned and received from me, what you heard and saw me do. Then the God who gives you this peace will be with you."
    • v. 11-13: "I've learned to be content in whatever situation I'm in. I know how to live in poverty or prosperity... I've learned the secret... I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
  • Isaiah 54:17 (Paraphrased): "Every weapon that try to form, but it melt, it shall not prosper..." (A slight variation was prayed, emphasizing the weapon "melting").
  • Job 1:9-10 (Referenced): Apostle Carlos referenced this passage where Satan asks God, "Does Job fear you for nothing? Have you not made a hedge around him and his household?" to illustrate how prayer builds a protective hedge.
  • Psalm 91:1 (Referenced): "...he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under his shadow..." was mentioned by Apostle Carlos as a theme from a previous prayer session that connects to the idea of divine protection.
  • Matthew 18:20 (Referenced): "...where two or three are gathered together in his name, he's in the midst." Apostle Carlos used this to emphasize the power of their corporate gathering.
  • Ephesians 4:9-14 (Mentioned initially): The Prophetess initially mentioned this scripture before correcting it to Philippians.

(5) Standout Quotes & Reflective Moments

  • "I've learned the secret of how to live whrn I'm full and when I'm hungry, when I have too much or when I have little." - A powerful personal declaration of finding sufficiency in Christ alone, setting the tone for the entire prayer.
  • "This has been a corporate fast, but it's also been a personal pruning." - Apostle Nicky's reflection that deeply personalized the experience of fasting, making it about inner transformation as much as outer petition.
  • "I thank you for the rejections that had came before us because you wanted to protect us, O God." - A profoundly reflective moment in the prayer that shifts the perspective on disappointment and failure.
  • "What we are doing is we are ministering to the lord and we are building a hedge of protection around us." - Apostle Carlos's impactful statement that gave a tangible, defensive purpose to the act of corporate prayer.
  • "When you want something different, you do something different." - Minister Adria's simple yet powerful truth about the connection between sacrifice (like fasting) and spiritual breakthrough.

(6) Key Action Points & Faith-Based Practices

  1. Practice the Secret of Contentment: Consciously choose to find your strength in Christ this week, regardless of your financial, emotional, or physical state. When tempted to complain or worry, verbally declare, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
  2. Walk in Active Obedience: Follow the model of Philippians 4:9. Intentionally "practice" what you have learned from scripture and godly leaders. Don't just hear the word; do it.
  3. Engage in Declarative Prayer: Move beyond just asking. Spend time in prayer thanking God for who He is (Jehovah Rapha, our Healer) and declaring His promises over your life, your family, and your body as if they are already done.
  4. Stand in Agreement for Others: Intentionally pray for someone else's breakthrough. As you do, remain open to what God might be revealing or "pruning" in your own heart.
  5. Reframe Your Rejections: Think of a recent "no" or closed door in your life. Take a moment to thank God for it, trusting that it was an act of His divine protection and redirection.
  6. Continue in Consecration: Whether through fasting, dedicated prayer time, or another sacrifice, continue to "do something different" to see something different. Protect your time with God, knowing it is building a spiritual hedge around you.
  7. Prophesy to Yourself: As prompted in the prayer, speak God's promises and prophetic words over your own life, your family, and your future. Call forth the "newness" God has for you.

01-10 Prayer Summary : Seeking First the Kingdom, The Mind of Christ: Apostles Carlos & Nicky Collins

Prayer Summary: "Seeking First the Kingdom: The Mind of Christ"

This was a powerful and spirit-filled prayer session, marking the sixth day of corporate Fasting and Prayer. The atmosphere was one of fervent faith, declaration, and deep consecration. Led by Apostles Carlos & Nicky Collins, the message was a guided, declarative prayer intended to align the listeners with God's will and power. The core focus was on the transformative power of seeking God first and adopting the humble, obedient mindset of Christ to unlock divine provision, healing, and purpose.

(1) Comprehensive Main Message or Theme

The central theme of the Prayer was "The Primacy of Seeking God and Possessing the Mind of Christ."

The message was twofold:

  1. Seeking First the Kingdom: The foundation of the entire prayer was the principle from Matthew 6:33. Apostle Nicky emphasized that when believers prioritize seeking God's Kingdom and His righteousness above all else—above material needs, financial success, or personal desires—God promises to add all those other things to their lives. This isn't a formula for getting things, but a reordering of our hearts to desire God Himself, making provision a natural byproduct of our relationship with Him.
  2. Adopting the Mind of Christ: The second part of the message centered on the practical "how" of seeking God. It requires intentionally cultivating the "mind of Christ" as described in Philippians 2. This mindset is characterized by humility, obedience (even unto death), and a focus on others. By renewing our minds through prayer, fasting, and focusing on God's Word, we are transformed, enabling us to walk in God's power, prove His will, and see His glory manifested in our lives.

(2) Fresh Revelation or Spiritual Insight

A key spiritual insight that emerged was the connection between internal transformation and external manifestation. It wasn't just about asking for things; it was about becoming the kind of person through whom God's power can flow.

A specific revelation was shared regarding the world's current state: "Whatever it is that's going on in this world... We understand that it's a setup for your kingdom." This reframes global turmoil and economic uncertainty not as a source of fear, but as a divine "setup." It implies that God is using these circumstances to dismantle worldly systems and create a perfect opportunity for His Kingdom principles (divine provision, debt freedom, etc.) to be demonstrated and for His people to thrive by operating according to His economy, not the world's.

Another profound insight was the link between the renewed mind and the manifestation of God's glory, using the example of Peter: "Let your glory permeate from us even as it did with Peter... where his shadow was anointed to heal." This painted a powerful picture that as our minds are renewed to be like Christ's, God's glory doesn't just reside within us, but radiates from us, impacting the world around us in tangible, miraculous ways without even a conscious effort, just like a shadow.

(3) Key Takeaways for Everyday Life

  • Re-prioritize Your "Seek": Your first thought and primary energy each day should be directed toward connecting with God and aligning with His will, not worrying about your to-do list, finances, or problems. True success and provision flow from this alignment.
  • Healing is Holistic: Divine healing is not just a spiritual event; it's partnered with practical wisdom. God provides "wisdom how to eat, wisdom how to exercise." We are encouraged to listen to the Holy Spirit for practical steps toward wholeness while standing on the promise that our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost.
  • Your Mindset Determines Your Reality: The principle "as a man thinketh, so is he" was heavily emphasized. If you want to change your life, you must change your thought patterns. This involves a conscious effort to focus on what is good, lovely, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8) and to actively replace worldly conformity with spiritual transformation.
  • Spiritual Authority is Real: Believers are not passive victims of circumstance. You have been given power and authority to "decree and declare" things in alignment with God's Word and see them come to pass. This authority is not for selfish gain but for establishing God's kingdom on earth.

(4) All Scripture & Bible References

  • Matthew 6:33 (Paraphrased): "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." This was the foundational scripture for the entire service, establishing the theme of prioritizing God.
  • Philippians 2:5-11 (Quoted): "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This passage was the core text for the second half of the prayer, defining the "mind of Christ."
  • 2 Chronicles 7:14 (Paraphrased): "...if my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray, turn from their wicked ways, then shall they hear from heaven. And then shall I heal their land." Referenced to underscore the power of humility and repentance.
  • Romans 12:2 (Paraphrased): "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This was used to explain the mechanism for spiritual transformation.
  • Proverbs 23:7 (Paraphrased): "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." Quoted to emphasize the creative power of our thoughts.
  • Philippians 4:8 (Paraphrased): "...think on these things. Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just... if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." This verse provided the practical "how-to" for renewing the mind.
  • Other References (Implied or Thematic): The names of God (Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Rapha), the power of the anointing to destroy yokes, the blood of Jesus, angels ministering to heirs of salvation, and believers being joint-heirs with Christ were all invoked, drawing from a rich tapestry of biblical concepts.

(5) Standout Quotes or Moments

  • A Moment of Powerful Declaration: "We decree and declare revival. We decree and declare that you send revival, that you send the rain, Lord God. We thank you, Lord, for the harvest, Lord, of the souls..." This was a shift from personal petition to a corporate, authoritative declaration for a large-scale move of God.
  • Reflective Quote on Finances: "We're not seeking things, we're not seeking money or material things, but Lord, those things are added unto us because we seek you first." This was a weighty moment that recalibrated the listener's perspective on prosperity.
  • A Visionary Moment: Apostle Carlos shared, "...as Pastor Nicky was praying I could... in my mind and my spirit I can see I could literally see the things that she was praying I could see them beginning to manifest themselves in our life." This statement validated the prayer and created an atmosphere of immediate expectation, encouraging others to "see" their prayers answered in the spirit before they manifest in the natural.
  • The Final Call to Praise: "I want everyone to unmute your phone and just begin to... And begin to give God a praise, for He has heard your prayers. He has heard your prayers, and the answer is being manifest." This was a powerful, participatory conclusion that moved listeners from passive reception to active, faith-filled praise, sealing the prayers with thanksgiving.

(6) Key Action Points

  1. Prioritize God First: Before engaging with the day's demands, consciously set aside time to seek God through prayer and worship. Make Him the "head of your life, head of your marriage, the head of your ministry."
  2. Practice Repentance: Take a moment each day to "humble yourselves and pray," asking for forgiveness for sins of "omission, commission, thought, word, deed." This keeps your fellowship with God clear.
  3. Renew Your Mind Intentionally: Actively choose your thoughts. When negative, fearful, or worldly thoughts arise, consciously replace them with what is good, lovely, and praiseworthy, meditating on God's Word.
  4. Speak and Decree God's Word: Don't just pray about your problems; speak God's promises over them. Declare healing over your body, debt freedom over your finances, and wisdom over your leaders.
  5. Listen for Practical Wisdom: As you pray for breakthroughs (e.g., in health or finances), listen for the practical, everyday instructions the Holy Spirit gives you regarding your habits, lifestyle, and stewardship.
  6. Walk in Humility and Obedience: Model your attitude after Christ's. Look for opportunities to serve others and practice obedience to what you know God is asking of you, even in small things.
  7. Seal Your Prayers with Praise: After you pray, immediately begin to thank God for the answer. This act of faith demonstrates that you believe you have received what you asked for.
