An Exercise in Hearing from God
with Others
on a Specific Topic
- Define one area in which a group or a member of a group needs to
hear from God. If the prayer time is specifically
for a certain person, that person can stay seated where
they are, or sit in the middle of the group, to facilitate
the laying on of hands. It helps if someone takes notes about what is ministered. Some people even like to have a tape recorder.
- Spend a while in silence to
hear the Lord (2-5 minutes). During the time of silence, everyone should be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit brings to their minds, especially key Biblical passages (see John 16:12-15; Heb 4:12).
-
At the end of the prayer ministry time, the person who received prayer should express what they are feeling to God. In order not to quickly forget what was ministered, he/she should also write down what they heard God saying or what they felt him do, before going to bed that night (see Hab. 2:1-3).
