First Monday Prayer & Fasting - Prayer Points - February 2011

At Next Level Church we dedicated the 1st Workday of each month to the Lord by setting it aside as a time to pray and fast and seek God over what's on the horizon for our church and the people and organizations we influence.

Here's a Pocket Guide for 6 Key Areas to Pray Through Today:

(For more information on Fasting go to: www.NextLevelChurch.com/fasting )

1.  Our 1st Permanent Location.

If you missed yesterday's state of the church address, go here to listen or watch the message from Sunday. It's full of exciting news.

We are just a few weeks away from moving in to our new facility! Let's be in prayer today for our "Furnish the Vision" Campaign happening right now. We are just $150,000 away from being able to move in Fully Furnished and Ready to Impact the Future!

Also, let's continue to pray for the construction crews. As of right now, they're on time and moving at a great pace. Let's pray for continued favor with all of that.

2.  Our Communities Downtown.

We, as a church, have adopted 2 communities downtown, Palmetto Courts and Sabal Palms. We are believing for God to use us to lift the residents of those communities out of darkness and into light.

Pray for continued favor with the Government authorities and continued open doors. Pray for several NLC families who have taken the step to "mentor" several families from downtown this year. We are believing for jobs, better grades, stronger health, and a closer walk with Jesus for these families.

Pray for our 3rd Saturday Serve Day Outreaches as well. We have some exciting possibilities with renovating some of the apartments downtown and providing much needed medical care in the months ahead. Pray for open doors for that.

3.  Our Big Spring Series, Masquerade, launching February 27th.

Each year, we do 3 Big Series where we pull out all of the stops and believe God to touch unchurched, dechurched and disillusioned people throughout Southwest Florida. In just a few weeks we're launching a huge series called, Masquerade, that is all about people facing the masks they wear to cover up what's really going on in their heart.

Let's pray that God will open people's hearts and help people deal with the issues of greed, anger, fear worry and more in this powerful series.

4.  Our Church Planters.

God has given us the ability to be apart of training, coaching and mentoring dozens of churches across the country. Let's pray for God's provision and blessing on the following 3 churches today:

  • Liberty Church - New York City, NY - Pastor Paul and Andi Andrew. This church is just a month old and is already making an impact in the Big Apple.
  • Family Life Church - Randolph, NJ - Pastor Dan and Stephanie Stauffer are in the process of acquiring their first permanent location just like we are. Pray for favor with their landlord and all the details of build out and fund raising in the coming months.
  • The River Church - Bozeman, MN - Pastor Eric and Heather Neimann - The River is scheduled to launch their Sunday morning services in just a few weeks and they already have over 50 people on their launch team.
5.  Our Missionaries.

God has blessed us with partners who are spreading the Gospel in other parts of the world. Pray for:

  • Mark & Stephanie Pyles - Santiago, Dominican Republic. They are planting Next Generation Churches in their city. Pray for favor and blessing.
  • Christ for India - India - They are training pastors and students to plant churches across India and in surrounding countries. Pray for provision and favor and boldness.
  • Kelly & Kathy Johnson - Kenya - They are training pastors and leaders throughout Kenya to be more effective and reach lost people in more relevant ways. Pray specifically for a new vehicle for them. They are just a few thousand dollars away.
6.  The People of Next Level Church.

  • Pray for Marriages, 
  • Children, 
  • Wise Financial Decisions, 
  • Growth in their Relationship with Christ, 
  • Courage to make difficult decisions, 
  • Power to SOAP and engage God's Word, and 
  • Favor in their workplace and marketplace to be a light for Christ.
Thanks for Praying today NLC.
