How to start a prayer Network

I started my prayer network on the phone but it has over time now been more high tech.  

I use Facebook but not my own personal page I set it up with a shadow name below is the letter I send to anyone that wants to join my prayer team:
Please don't take this a the only way to do a prayer team but over time we have adjusted one thing after another to make it more God less me! This is just some good ideas for prayer in general and also if you want to start a circle of your own, start by finding 1 person then another 1 then try 2 more then 3 more then 5 more. Stop there that is 12. Twelve disciples for you!


Ezekiel 1:4-25 please read

I am asking you to join my prayer network (also called Wall or Wheel) you will be developing a prayer wheel of your own. Each person that is part of your prayer wheel will also have their own prayer wheel outside of your wheel. Thus the eyes on the wall be wheels within wheels and when they move they will all move in the same direction and when they rise the presence of God will move in that direction.

Here is how it works and the rules of participating
1.    You must have a regular devotional life with God the Father Jesus the son and the Holy Spirit; this is the only way you will be able to know the voice of the Lord. My people know my voice. It is the only way to make sense of the things you see, and hear. If you haven’t a personal time with God you will start to lose your ability to discern the voice of the Father and the voice of the enemy.
2.    You must going regularly to a church and be under the authority of that pastor/minister.

3.    Remember that we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12  
When we are praying for an individual we are actually praying against the forces that are attacking them thus we do warfare. If we forget who we fight with we are tempted to think badly of an individual.  We will tend to point a finger of blame and even prayer guilt ridden prayers for others and in away pray controlling prayers. 


4.    Prayer must be for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in the individual, the church or the world.  Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life and so should the purpose of our prayer be, the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy, and our war should only be for our enemies not people.Our own agendas should be taken up with God in our personal devotional time, sometimes though when we are praying for others you may see that you are going through something others are going through this pattern, is important to note to others because it may show something bigger then just us. You can always ask for prayer if you need it but if your reason for joining has its own agenda then it will be more a distraction to all then a help. Deciding what to post in those things will be at the discretion of the developer of that particular wheel.  This one being mine and yours being yours.

5.    You must be willing to Listen, watch, pray and warn
Simple, maybe but it is the hardest thing to do all three but you must listen to others leadership and other watchmen, and you need to be able to pray and you need to be willing and able to warn those who need to know



6.    Anything of a sensitive or confidential nature should be shared in general sense trusting that the prayer warriors and watchmen can hear from God. That God will know the details and will share what each person needs to know as they pray.
For example:  John and Jane Doe are getting a divorce because Jane is having an affair with Pastor Moses.  This type of request is inappropriate and is more likely to steal, kill and destroy then bring truth, or life.  If this is the case you could send out a prayer saying something like: My Pastor needs your prayer and could you please respond with any scriptures or words that God may give you so that I can pass them on. Can you please pray that Jane and John’s marriage become enriched and strengthened as they are going through a difficult time?
If in doubt about how you should pray, try praying scriptures and trust God to speak to you as you pray. 
 Colossians 1:9-14 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[f] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 
7.    Not everything you hear from God is to be shared sometimes He just wants you to watch and or pray.  You must be prepared to watch and pray until God tells you to blow the trumpet or share the word he gave you. You should share things with the leader of your wall before you talk to those outside of your network.  If we aren’t careful with this people will stop taking us seriously and we also may become a distraction from what God really wants us to do.


8.    You must keep things In the Prayer Network within the network unless there are words to be shared with the individuals that the prayer was given for and it is recommended that all these word be confirmed by 2 or more others. All prophetic words should be given through the pastor or leadership of those to whom you give the word.

9.    God will never override the will of another, in their personal life. Just because God has spoken to you about what another needs to do you must accept that if it does not feel right to them or if they choose not to adhere to the word that it is their decision and God never overrides others will.  A very good illustration of this would be Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (or the South) She heard the words of Solomon and went back and shared them and they would not hear the words. Matthew 12:42
10.           Never add members to your Facebook pages unless they have agreed to these rules.  Don’t invite people to my wheel ever and set your security setting that only the people listed can view the posts. Then type your 3-12 people into the security posting settings. If you don’t know how to do this I will walk you through your security settings just send me a message.

11.           You need to start your own network (wheel) and find12 people on your wall however the best way to do this is start by finding 1 person then another 1 then try 2 more then 3 more then 5 more. Stop there that is 12. Twelve disciples for you!  I do not recommend more then 12.  These people will be your disciples in prayer.  As you follow me and learn from me you will pass on what you learn to them.
One of the reasons for the gradual increase is it gets easier as you go along.
Only those people should be on your friends list do not give out the Facebook name except to those who join you in it. Do not tell others that you are on my wheel.  Start your own FACEBOOK or MySpace (MSN, OR MESSENGER) page separate from the one you were asked to join by me. With all the same conditions, Prayer and agreement. You may also choose to just use the phone or email and that is fine also but with some caution at this time FACEBOOK (MSN, OR MESSENGER) are quite safe. Just watch your security settings weekly.  

Do not use Twitter it is too easy to be followed without your knowledge, or consent.


12.   You will also have to set up an email account without using your real name just the wall’s (you are with) name for example: Isonwalljohn@yahoo.ca your people on your page should all have the similar name Isonwalldebbie@yahoo,ca etc If you have 2 people with the same first name the can add an initial but should not put full names. The reason you do not want to use your real name is so that if people Google you they will not find your FB page, they will only find it if they know what to look for.

13.           Do not play games or use any apps on this Facebook, MySpace (MSN, or Messenger) account use your own personal account for them.  Games and apps compromise the security of your Account and put all of the others on the wall at risk also. Same rules apply to your email account it should only be for the prayer chain do not use it for anything else. Do not use FACEBOOK (MSN, OR MESSENGER) on your Phones, blackberries,    I Pods’ etc without checking your security settings. Also do not like anything just post praying checking like can compromise your account. Do not put any personal information on your profile if you do it will be available to a Google search.

14.           If your account is compromised: If for any reason you find your email or FACEBOOK (MSN, OR MESSENGER) account is compromised then notify each person on your wall so they can change the name ASAP

15.           Do not pray witchcraft (controlling) prayers, by this I mean do not pray controlling prayers for example: God I pray that you would cause Pastor Jehoshaphat to lose his voice until he repents and makes things right with me.  Don’t pray against or overriding the will of people or such prayers that suggest that you are God and know the heart and the intent of others, and have the right to judge them.

16.           For watching in the world setting, Send out as much information as you can If you are watching a situation in the world, do all you can to make sure that the information is accurate and follow the guidelines above to make sure that you do not cause destruction to others. Don’t send out rumors or gossip. (This is very common on social networking sites and on places like you tube etc.)  People think it is funny when you see a post that an 8 year old child has been kidnapped in Sudan causing civil violence and so on… Just first try posting the whole thing into Google and see if there is any truth to it and then do more research so that when you blow the trumpet there really is something to pray about.  However if you see something you are not sure of ask the others what they see about this issue without bringing gossip or bias into the picture. 



Example: I have been hearing things about Sudan has anyone else heard or seen anything?  Or God has put Sudan on my heart could you please pray with me and see if God speaks to you about anything.


17.           Don’t be afraid or try to make others afraid “Fear not” and “Do Not Fear” are some of the most repeated phrases in the Bible.   
 BE Courageous

As a intercessor, a watchman or gatekeeper, doorkeeper and pastor prophet etc it is important to know and constantly remember that we do not have to fear because God is always in control.  We pray to declare, bind, loose and prevent things that are as if they are not and things that are not as though they were.  Conspiracy theorists are putting out information to cause fear to move people to action that meet there agenda; we need to use truth to alert the saints to prayer and action.



18.           Make sure that you take time off the wall you can become very unbalanced and even sick or mentally confused and spiritually weak if you stay on the wall everyday and always watching for things it can make you like a crazy UFO hunter seeing demons where there really are only everyday things happening.

19.  Watching is like a puzzle, Often watching is like putting a puzzle together and only when you get all the pieces does the picture makes sense or are we able to defeat it so have patience to wait for the entire picture. Sometimes it is only when we hear what others are saying or see the news or listen to God in our time with Him that we start to put the pieces together and start to know both what the target is but exactly what we need to do to Hit the Mark in prayer. If you have a fort that has 4 towers then there are 4 or more watchmen on the wall watching they are all looking in different directions you need the information from all 4 before you have the whole picture so if another watchman isn’t seeing what you are doesn’t make either of you right or wrong you are just looking at the same picture from different viewing points so listen to those on you wheel and see how it fits with what you are seeing. This is very important because Watchmen often don’t get along and they will disagree about what is happening but if we understand their points of viewing then we may see a bigger picture

20.           Don’t go your own way rather pray if something seems real to you that God would confirm it with others on your wall, until then trust that God is always on time and that God will see His will fulfilled.


21.           Trust God’s plan and his purposes.  The story God tells that really shows this is Judas.
  John 1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. 2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 but one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it
.
   

We see that Judas is a thief now I am sure that Jesus knew before he called him that he was a thief yet He put Him in charge of the money box; that is pretty insane unless you consider that it was necessary for Judas to have the love of money spirit so He could betray Jesus. However understand that even though Judas betrayed Christ he had been given all the information to repent and turn back to Christ.
22.  Do not isolate yourself Keep communication open and there may be times when a onsite training set up may occur on the prayer network web site and it is recommend that you watch all of the training session to both inform you but also that you may be encouraged and understand that you are not alone on your wall.
 The wolves pick off the lone sheep. The enemy attacks the lone soldier one at a time.

 If you have a word of encouragement for an individual on the prayer network please send them a message, if it is for the everyone on the team then you can post it on the wall.




23.   Confirmation: If you have a word of correction for an individual on your wall it should be done with confirmation of 2 or more if you can’t reach this then you should not give the word. Don't go and ask anything about correction of anyone instead message the leader of the circle and ask if they have any concerns regarding any person on the wall. It is vital that you walk very carefully when Correcting anyone, privacy and caution need to be use.Walk in the fear of God when correcting leadership. If it is about these regulations then you should share it with the person at the lead on the wall, always remember that it is the enemy that wants to steal, kill and destroy

Satan is the accuser of the Brethren and will constantly want you to bring false accusations. God would have us deal with one another in a positive and uplifting way.  It is God’s place to convict a person of sin and it is our job to see that we do not falsely accuse another and more important that we deliver any message with Love as defined in  
1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. 
5 Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done.  
6 Love takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices over the truth.
 7 Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures.  
8 Love never ends. There are gifts of prophecy, but they will be ended. There are gifts of speaking in different languages, but those gifts will stop. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will come to an end.
 9 The reason is that our knowledge and our abilities to prophesy are not perfect. 
10 But when perfection comes, the things that are not perfect will end 



Thank you for considering being on my prayer network. I do not want you to feel you have to do this for me as I know God will provide the people for my wall this is simply an invitation.  Do however let me know either way.If you choose to join I will send you further information. 
Love Kim
