Prayer Starters: June 2022

Prayer Guide

We gather on Saturday, June 4 to pray very specific prayers over a 3-hour period. Following the extended prayer meeting, we shall continue praying throughout the month of June using these prayer points every day during our private and family prayer times.

Please feel free to add to the prayer guidelines as the Spirit of God lays things on your heart.

There are 6 sessions that can take you an hour or more to pray. Attempt praying for 1 hour if you can make the time. In the event that praying for 1 hour daily is not realistic for you at this point, attempt a whole hour of prayer once a week using these prayer points and any other ones that well up in your spirit.

If you are able, please come to the Prayer Summit meeting each month FASTING. If you have never fasted before, please click on this link for more information https://joyfountainchurch.com/prayer-fasting-guidelines. This means we are encouraging fasting on July 2 and subsequent Prayer Summits. Prayer sessions will begin from noon to 3 pm on the first Saturday of each month. Please note that some prayer points will be repeated as the Spirit of God may lead us from month to month.

1. Prayer of Thanksgiving

Read Psalm 107:1

We never begin any session of prayer without first giving thanks to God Almighty, first for who He is and second for bringing us into a relationship with Him.

Take a moment to think about this past month of May. Are you able to connect some things God did in your life to prayer requests from the May Prayer Summit? If so be specific in naming those things and if not there is always plenty to be thankful for when you focus enough to think of it.

  • Praise God just because He is God and our Father in Heaven
  • Give thanks for the success of our second Prayer Summit in May.
  • Give thanks for increased attendance at the second Prayer Summit
  • Give thanks for answers to prayer requests that we have begun to see in your life and in JFC.
  • Give thanks for the grace to pray corporately and individually
  • Give thanks in advance for all the surprises He is bringing our way this month

2. Prayer of Repentance

Read Psalm 66:18

  • After praying repentance let us ask for a refreshing of the Spirit to help us in prayer today. Invite the presence of God by His Spirit.
  • Ask for the help of angels as we pray individually and corporately today and throughout this month. See Luke 22:43

“Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor”

Psalm 15:1-3 NKJV

3. Prayer for Miracles of Salvation and Deliverance

Read Luke 2:52, Psalm 5:12

Jesus came to deliver us from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of God. Today let us turn our hearts to the first nation community and other religious communities praying for those among them who deep in their hearts want to become followers of Jesus but are locked by a false belief, oppressive or peer pressure system and so cannot leave.

“Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions..”

Psalm 107:19-20 NKJV
  • Pray that the anointing destroys the yoke of satan’s bondage.
  • Break any generational curse affecting people and limiting them from finding deliverance in Christ
  • Lift up the First Nations, Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, and other such communities where there are people wanting to try something else but are being hindered.
  • Pray for God to answer the secret prayers of those who are religiously oppressed in our nation.
  • Pray for wisdom for people to know what to do. Acts 10:1-4

4. Asking for 10 (MORE) New Families Added to JFC

Acts 2:46-47

There are many people out there looking for truth and desire a relationship with God. They may not know which local church to become part of. As we pray in faith God will lead those who are meant to be with us to us. Angels will join in the work of bringing them

“So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”

Acts 2:46-47 NKJV

Using the verses above and other verses of scripture let us pray the following requests:

  • Thank God for the 10 NEW families who have started attending our church in the last 4-5 months.
  • Lord find us all the Cornelius brothers and sisters in Winnipeg. See Acts 10:1-8
  • Like You ADDED to the church in Jerusalem in Acts 2, Lord Jesus, add to us at Joy Fountain many New Families with many children (youth and teens) who want to know God and grow in relationship with you.
  • Pray that this church finds favor before men, women, children, youth, and young adults
  • Pray for a 2 12 seater vans to be used for transporting youth of especially non-believing families to events
  • Continue to work in us to be a people of Prayer, Purpose, and Power.

5. Prayer for Financial Provision and Land (3-6 Acres)

Ecclesiastes 7:12

In Acts 4:36. we are told that some of the people, in order to provide for God’s advancing work, sold their landed property and brought the proceeds of sale to the apostle’s feet.

If everyone who follows Jesus does their part in giving to the church we will not lack the finances required to do some of God’s work.

Did you know also that Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes made a remarkable comment? He said that money is a defense? Wow! Have you ever read that in the Bible? If you haven’t read it do so and mark it!

And Joses who was also named Barnabas by the apostles… a levite of the country of Cyprus having land sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles feet

Acts 4:36-37 NKJV

The silver is mine and the gold is mine says the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former says the Lord of hosts and in this place I will give peace

Acts 2:8-9 NKJV

“For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense…”

Ecclesiastes 7:12 NKJV

Using the verses of scripture above and other verses let us pray the following prayer requests:

  • Father in heaven thank you for providing for us financially to carry out your will on earth. Matthew 17:24-27
  • CALL OUT all the finances that are needed for God’s work to be done through Joy Fountain Church and everywhere. Matthew 17:24-27. (Note Vs. 27)
  • Pray for churches that are threatened as a result of failing finances all over Canada to seek the Lord and receive breakthroughs in every area.
  • Pray for the hearts of believers to be softened in the area of giving to God as He prospers us
  • Ask the Lord to add more to this church who will be financial giants for the Kingdom.
  • Pray that JFC will have Divine favor with owners of property near us as we approach them for a deal.

6. Prayer for the Defeat of Territorial Sorcery

Numbers 22:1-12, Numbers 23:1-12

“Sorcery is the use of power gained from the assistance or control of evil spirits” (Merriam Webster).

Sorcerers exist today everywhere and hate the gospel and those who follow Jesus. The church is the only agency on earth with the power through Jesus’ name to overcome sorcery. When we pray against these dark spirits and those controlled by them we will begin to see results in these areas as people’s eyes open to the truth.

  • Pray that the Canadian Parliament will vote down the current mandates that have created difficulties for unvaccinated and even vaccinated Canadians as a whole.
  • Pray that the citizens of this great country will be united against any semblance of evil. Let God be our Salvation indeed.
  • Use the authority granted us in Jesus’ name over the spirits of sorcery and sorcerers operating like Balaam seeking to hurl curses and hexes against the people of God.
  • Pray the prayer of the “Random Arrow” prophecy: that those who refuse the counsel of God (while hindering God’s work) like king Ahab be brought to swift justice.
  • Use the authority granted us in Jesus’ name over the spirits of sorcery and sorcerers operating like Simon in our neighborhood for the release of those whose minds are held captive. Acts 8:9-13, 1 Corinthians 4:4

Give Thanks and Praise for Answered Prayers

God chooses to answer our prayer in the way He determines to be best for us. He is always at work and what may appear like a delay with God is not denial.

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”

Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

1 John 5:14-15 NKJV

Give Him Praise! Amen!
