Session #3: Is a lifestyle of prayer really possible?
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Scripture Reading:
Isaiah Chapter 62
Ezekiel 22:29-31
Take time to silently meditate on the meaning of these Scriptures. Allow the significance of what was recorded to penetrate your heart. How important are the petitions of those who are willing to pray for their nation? Allow God’s Holy Spirit to move you to a place of deeper humility and prayer on behalf of the sins in your own sphere of influence. (Personal, family, congregation, community, city, nation, nations)
Listen to Audio:
Nicodemus Nuwasiima - (Global Missions director for World Trumpet Mission) gives us an intensive on the lifestyle of an intercessor.
Testimony: Following an extended time of fasting and prayer, God used Nicodemus as a vessel to open up the western portion of Uganda to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since that time he has been sent into many nations in Africa, Europe and North America to help the Body of Christ enter into a deeper level of prayer. His faith in God's ability to change society is not based on theory, but on actual experience. He shares as one who has seen God's transforming power at work in the nations.

Few would dispute that Rev. Andrew Murray (1828-1917) is one of the foremost authors on the deeper Christian life. During this class we will be reading through one of his classic books on intercession entitled: "With Christ in the School of Prayer".

Discussion questions for Session #3:
Take the time to write down your response to the following questions:
-
What did God speak to you about Himself? (His character)
-
What did God teach you on a personal basis?
-
How does God desire for you to apply what you learned on a personal basis to those He has placed around you? (Be specific)
Prayer Time:
Take time in prayer (individually or corporately) to pray through your responses to the discussion questions. Review any notes that you took in your journal and allow God’s Spirit to take these truths deeper and deeper into your heart. Believe that He will allow these revelations to become so strong that real lifestyle change results. Let this become your prayer focus for as many days as it takes for these truths to literally begin to produce change in your life.
