“The release of a heavenly model of worship and intercession, with music and prayers woven together in a tapestry of ministry to the Lord, is key to the release of revival upon the earth. The Lord in His grace has revealed to us in the Word how He enjoys receiving ministry from us, and we neglect this revelation to our own loss… What we are beginning to understand is that worship is the essential warfare of the saints, for it releases the presence and power of God. From Psalm 22:3 we know that the praises of the people of God make up the throne on which He establishes His rule and authority, and so as we minister to Him we are confident that His power is released in the earth.” Gary Wiens
The combination of prayer and worship in extended times of prayer are key for revival. Never has there been a revival without extended times of intensive prayer, nor will we ever see the final world revival ushering in the second coming of Christ without it. Here are some exciting reasons:
- It brings us into the reality of heaven – We must realize that worship and prayer are combined together in heaven around the throne of God. We are in the process of bringing heaven to earth in our cities and nations. We are copying what heaven is doing by combining the interaction of the harp (worship) with the bowls of incense (prayers). See Revelation 5:8.
- It unlocks our hearts – The atmosphere of worship and praise opens our hearts in a greater dimension to fervent intercession, and a greater passion for Christ and His ways. It also unlocks our hearts to a greater gratitude for all God has done. I cannot help but move to a higher level in my intercession when praise and worship are combined. I find this true when I’m praying alone as well as in prayer meetings.
- It increases our faith – I have seen and experienced how the singers fuel the intercessors, and the intercessors fuel the singers, until all seem to move into a higher realm of faith. The Word of God is prayed with greater certainty, with deeper passion, and with an unquenchable faith.
- It attracts us to enjoyable prayer – There is no doubt about it. God wants us to enjoy prayer. There is no way we can move into day and night prayer without an enjoyment of it. It is much too hard and strenuous a work. We need our hearts to say, “Yes, I want to do this! Yes, our city can get into this because God is making it enjoyable.”
- It increases our perseverance in prayer – Many times I have heard people say that the time goes by so quickly. There seems to be an ability and grace to pray for longer periods of time when prayer and worship are combined. Many who find it hard to pray for any length of time suddenly are able to spend hours in the prayer room.
- It brings forth an anointing for spiritual warfare – It breaks the hold of the enemy in cities. It opens the way for a freedom to proclaim the Gospel. The Kingdom of God invades the territory. The combination of prayer and worship releases God’s justice. Praise, worship, and prayer is a powerful combination and a mighty force against the kingdom of darkness. We come into agreement with God’s heart and things change.
God is preparing His Church around the world for revival. He is preparing us individually as well as corporately.
“There is an irrefutable law in history that revival (justice) is released in a measure whenever night and day worship and intercession are offered. Wherever night and day prayer has emerged in history there is always a Divine breakout of speedy justice. It cannot be stopped.” Mike Bickle
Let’s pray that the Church worldwide would grow in prayer and worship. Psalm 132 is a psalm crying out for revival. The psalmist reminds God of King David’s devotion and dedication in pursuing righteousness. David had vowed to God that he would find a place for God, a dwelling place. His heart was set in seeking Him. He would not let go until God had a dwelling place on earth.
Revival is finding God that resting place. It will be geographic places where God’s Spirit is released in power. It will be a resting place where people can live in agreement with and in obedience to the Holy Spirit. When the Church is obediently following God, praying fervently, and living holy and righteous lives, then God’s reviving power will be manifested in that city. The power of God will be experienced in His people both individually and corporately.
God is giving a special grace and an increase in prayer at this time in preparation for this end-time revival.
Some of us are just beginning to get started. Don’t be overwhelmed. A momentum is building and a spirit of prayer and worship is being released across the earth. My suggestion to you is to start small. Music CDs that demonstrate prayer with worship can be found in many Christian bookstores. Purchase a few of these music CDs for members of your prayer and worship teams in your church, and begin to listen to them over and over again. You can purchase excellent worship with intercession music CDs through the IHOPKC online bookstore as well as watch the live IHOPKC webstream.
We did this in our church. Everyone was listening to the music CD called Apostolic Prayers. They’re a great example of “harp and bowl” worship and prayer sessions and a powerful way to pray. I use worship CDs regularly in the nations where I go to minister. We use them in the atmosphere of our own home. Houses of Prayer around the world like to play the live web stream of 24/7 prayer on large screens in their prayer rooms whenever they can’t have live worship.
This will bring you into the atmosphere of what prayer combined with worship is like. It will create a hunger in your soul and an excitement in your heart for praying the Word of God. Worship together with prayer will begin to touch your church with the atmosphere of heaven, and will prepare you and your city for a mighty revival.
“Intercession is agreement with what God promises to do. Intercession is expressed by declaring what He will do. In heaven the worship and intercession flow as one river. When we tell God who He is then our faith expands with the revelation of the transcendent God of power and beauty. Then when we agree with what He will do in intercession, we do it in great faith.” Mike Bickle

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
Hi there to every one, since I am really eager of reading this blog’s post to be updated on a regular basis. It includes fastidious data.
Wow, fantastic blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is great, let alone the content!
Ahaa, its pleasant dialogue on the topic of this piece of writing here at this web site, I have read all that,so at this time me also commenting at this place.
Touche. Outstanding arguments. Keep up the great work. http://www.kayswell.com
Hi, i think that i saw you visited my weblog so i came to “return the favor”.I am trying to find things to enhance my site!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!! http://www.hairstylesvip.com
I likewise believe so , perfectly indited post! .
This article is a refreshing change! The author’s unique perspective and thoughtful analysis have made this a truly fascinating read. I’m thankful for the effort she has put into creating such an educational and mind-stimulating piece. Thank you, author, for providing your wisdom and sparking meaningful discussions through your exceptional writing!
A few things i have seen in terms of laptop memory is the fact there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must go with the specific features of the motherboard. If the pc’s motherboard is pretty current while there are no operating system issues, updating the memory space literally usually takes under 1 hour. It’s among the list of easiest computer upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Hey very cool site!! Man .. Excellent .. Amazing .. I’ll bookmark your web site and take the feeds also?I’m happy to find numerous useful info here in the post, we need work out more techniques in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
I think that a home foreclosure can have a important effect on the debtor’s life. Mortgage foreclosures can have a 8 to a decade negative affect on a applicant’s credit report. Any borrower who have applied for a home loan or any kind of loans even, knows that your worse credit rating can be, the more tough it is to obtain a decent mortgage. In addition, it might affect any borrower’s chance to find a reasonable place to let or rent, if that gets to be the alternative property solution. Great blog post.
I’ve learned result-oriented things as a result of your site. One other thing I want to say is always that newer computer operating systems usually allow much more memory for use, but they as well demand more storage simply to perform. If your computer can not handle much more memory and the newest software package requires that ram increase, it might be the time to shop for a new Laptop. Thanks
Thanks for your posting. I would also love to opinion that the very first thing you will need to conduct is determine whether you really need credit restoration. To do that you simply must get your hands on a replica of your credit file. That should not be difficult, since government necessitates that you are allowed to be issued one free of charge copy of your own credit report each year. You just have to ask the right people today. You can either look at website for that Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the major credit agencies right away.
Howdy are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
