Prayer Parties

“I will answer them before they even call to me.  While they are still talking to me about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!”  ~ Isaiah 65:2

​

Take a moment to reflect on the many things we do for our friends.  One particular time stands out in my mind, when my girlfriend invited me to her jewelry party.  Please keep in mind that I tend to wear the same jewelry practically every day, and possess no real flair when it comes to “accessorizing.”  Because I value our friendship, I promised my attendance at the party.  There were several beautiful women in attendance and the jewelry was very wonderful.  We played games, won prizes, and ate great food made by my girlfriend’s exceptionally talented husband.  As I was driving home, the thought hit me…wouldn’t it be great to spend time with women praying.  Thus, the “Prayer Party” took root in my spirit!

​

Here’s how to get started on hosting your own Prayer Party:

• Prayerfully create a list of friends you would prayerfully like to invite

• Select a passage of scripture to focus on for the Prayer Party

• Send (e-mail, mail or call) an invitation to your Prayer Party guests with date, time & location

• Ask guests to begin meditating on the selected scripture and to come prepared to share what God is speaking to them through His word & otherwise

• Provide a casual atmosphere and light refreshment for the physical body

• Have guests share as led, listen to prayer requests, and enter into a season of prayer

• Encourage each guest to host their own Prayer Party as it is laid on their hearts

​

The best part of the Prayer Party is to wait in anticipation of God’s answers to our petitions and to share what He is doing as a result of us seeking His face, feeling His presence, and trusting His love!
