Podcasts about corporate prayer

Corporate prayer can become the foundation upon which healthy service and outreach take place within and through the local church. Prayer is more than a casual conversation, but instead a deep time of connection with Jesus that results in consistency of service and outreach as well as fruitful and faithful lives in the local church.

Pastor Bob Fox has watched the prayer culture of evangelical churches shift dramatically over the last twenty-five years, and he is not quiet about what that shift has cost. This is a serious, grounded call to pastors and congregations to recover what was lost and restore it for a city under pressure. America Pray Now Assistant Director Ken Miller interviews Pastor Fox in a conversation that calls all believers back to a life of prayer.-------America Pray Now publishes a magazine on prayer that is free of charge and can be delivered directly to your home.

To Pastor Bob Fox, it is a place of foundational spiritual significance for the entire nation, and what happens there matters far beyond its borders.That conviction drives this episode of the Virginia Pray Now monthly call, hosted by Ken Miller of America Pray Now. Pastor Fox, who has served in pastoral ministry in the Hampton Roads area for thirty-five years, joins the call to share his burden for Virginia Beach and to make a case that the church in that city, and perhaps across the country, has quietly retreated from one of its most essential callings: corporate, focused, expectant prayer.The historical foundation Pastor Fox returns to is the 1607 landing at Cape Henry, where the first English settlers knelt and dedicated the land to Jesus Christ before they did anything else. Fox sees this act as more than a historical footnote. He believes it established a spiritual root for the nation, and that the health or brokenness of this region flows outward into the rest of America. This is not background information to him. It is the reason Virginia Beach carries unusual weight in the spiritual geography of the country, and the reason its current struggles demand serious attention from the church.Those struggles have become visible in disturbing ways. Over consecutive weekends, the Virginia Beach oceanfront saw multiple-victim shootings that shocked the city and led officials to impose curfews that are essentially unprecedented for a place that has long prided itself on being one of the safest large cities in the nation. The tourism industry, central to the city's economy, took an immediate hit. But Pastor Fox is less concerned with the economic impact than with what these events reveal. He describes the violence and the depression gripping young people as a canary in the coal mine, a signal that something is deeply wrong beneath the surface of community life. His point is not to catastrophize, but to name the moment clearly: the city is hurting, and the church needs to move toward that hurt rather than away from it.At the center of his concern is what he sees as the slow erosion of corporate prayer and community engagement within evangelical churches. He traces this shift across roughly twenty-five years. A generation ago, weekly prayer meetings and active evangelism teams were standard features of church life. Today, those practices have largely disappeared. Churches, in his assessment, have become proficient at serving their own members while losing their outward orientation toward the community. The result is a spiritual vacuum. The church has stepped back from standing in the gap for the vulnerable and the lost, and that withdrawal has consequences.Pastor Fox is careful not to offer despair as a conclusion. Instead, he points toward specific, actionable responses. The first is directed at civil leadership. He believes Mayor Bobby Dyer of Virginia Beach has a unique opportunity and responsibility to call the city to a day of prayer and fasting. Fox cites historical precedents with striking specificity: Abraham Lincoln's call to prayer during the Civil War, King George's call for national prayer before the Dunkirk evacuation, and Governor Pillsbury of Minnesota, who faced a devastating locust plague in the 1870s and declared a day of prayer after all other remedies had failed. In each case, according to Fox, the response from God was measurable and swift. His argument is that a mayor carries a level of credibility and reach that can mobilize diverse houses of worship in ways that individual pastors cannot. When a civic leader stands up and calls people to pray, something shifts.But the second, and ultimately more foundational, response must come from pastors themselves. Fox is direct: if the pastor does not model and lead corporate prayer, the congregation will not follow. He challenges church leaders to move away from broad, unfocused prayer requests and toward specific, sustained intercession on defined topics over a period of months. This approach, he argues, allows people to see that their prayers are actually producing results, which builds faith and increases participation. He also presses the issue of repentance, not only personal repentance, but what he calls foundational repentance for the ancestral sins connected to the Jamestown colony, including the early exploitation of indigenous people and the origins of the slave trade in America. He frames the confession of these sins as a biblical act, necessary before God can fully heal the land.The call closes with an extended time of intercession led by Ken Miller, Pastor Fox, and America Pray Now Director Hanna Alway. Their prayers are specific: wisdom for city officials, judges, and law enforcement; protection over the young people of Virginia Beach; a fresh move of the Spirit across the region. They also address a redistricting proposal on the upcoming ballot, urging listeners to engage with it as a matter of justice and righteous representation.The episode ends with a thirty-day prayer commitment focused on Virginia Beach, rooted in the belief that what God does there does not stay there. It ripples outward. The church's job is not to wait for conditions to improve. It is to pray, repent, engage, and trust that God responds when His people ask with faith and specificity.

'Isaiah prophesied ‘my house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples' (55:6-7). Throughout Scripture, prayer is a priority, and God's people praying together is vital. This week, Reuben spoke to us about how we can grow in our corporate prayer.'

Corporate prayer is a time when together (acting as the body of Christ) we train the cross-hairs of our weapon (prayer) accurately on a target. We can only do this by listening to the Holy Spirit, and responding to His direction. As we do this, we release God’s will on earth. We don’t know when breakthrough will come – God’s way of getting heaven to earth is to use us. We bring His light to the world both in the way we live, but also through prayer… In the third of the series on corporate prayer, Jamie continues to answer some questions posed to him by the youth of LifeLine Church: How do I make prayer items matter to me? Does my prayer make a difference? How do we deal with unanswered prayer? Does my personal involvement make a difference? How should we pray?

Prayer was not an optional thing for the Early Church – it was the secret to their power. Their reputation was that they “turned the world upside down” wherever they went, and corporate prayer, not just personal prayer, was, and still is, the key to this effect.

Power of Corporate Prayer

Greetings! Today we begin our 21-day journey through Psalm 37! Our theme is “Learning to Love God More.” We will go verse by verse and allow the Lord to speak to our hearts and minds. In addition to myself, other contributors include Patricia Hudson, Stacy Williams, Min. Bertha Fields, and Pastor Lee Rob. I will be writing the majority of the lessons, and I deeply appreciate the contributions of these fellow servants of God. Lessons will be posted by 5:30AM each day. I encourage you to incorporate these brief lessons into your regular devotional rhythm.   Would also like to invite you to join New Covenant Church for Corporate Prayer on Zoom Wednesday evening at 7:30 PM (EST).   If you'd like to do your own study in the book of Psalms 37, here are some resources:   Enduring Word https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/psalm-37/ Bible Gateway; (The paid version has many more resources) https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/ StudyLight https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/eng/dsb.html#google_vignette   _________________________________________   Day 1 — Do Not Fret   Scripture: Psalm 37:1, Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. Key Thought: Anxiety over evil drains the soul more than evil itself. Prayer: “Lord, quiet my spirit and anchor my trust in You.” It is no exaggeration to say that we are witnessing, in real time in our nation, workers of iniquity. This is not something new, but rarely has it been on full display at a national level among national political leaders. We are seeing despotism and dictatorial tactics in a nation where the Constitution says that “We The People” are the basis of our form of government—what Abraham Lincoln described as government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” I share this because we have to be very mindful of not allowing ourselves to fret when we consider what is going on. Here in our state of Indiana, we are seeing situations that are harmful to people, especially the most vulnerable among us. As we are dealing with many grievous situations in our world, those of us who will not be silent must maintain balance. We must remain vigilant and active. At the same time, we must avoid strife or becoming obsessed with the deeds of evildoers. The Scripture plainly says, “do not fret.” As a matter of fact, in Psalm 37 the words “do not fret” appear three times. The third mention, in verse 8, states: “Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret—it only causes harm.” So while we who will not be silent, as many others are, must stay engaged. We also have to draw closer to God and keep our hearts clear of wrath, strife, and fretfulness. One way to do that is what we are doing right now—spending time in the Word, in prayer, and allowing the Holy Spirit to minister peace to our hearts. Jesus said in John 14:26–27, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Through this peace, we can steady our troubled hearts, and we will not fear the actions of ungodly people. REFLECTION QUESTION: "In what ways, specifically, do I need to stop fretting?" Key insight I gained today: Today's action item based on insight:

Corporate prayer is a time when together (acting as the body of Christ) we train the cross-hairs of our weapon (prayer) accurately on a target. We can only do this by listening to the Holy Spirit, and responding to His direction. As we do this, we release God’s will on earth. Some of His will can only be released through prayer. Prayer, therefore is about stepping into our identity as His children – in relationship with our father. We can be confident of our footing as we grow in relationship with Him as well as confident of the position He has given us of ruling in the universe because of Him. ‘See where God is working in this world – and join Him in that work’ ~John Blackby In this episode, Jamie answers some questions from the young people of LifeLine Church: What is the Spirit realm? How do we know there is a war going on in there? If God knows what I need, why pray? Can’t I just pray on my own? Can we make corporate prayer more entertaining?

Send us a textIn this episode of The Restless Ones podcast, Brennan and Zach dive deep into the relationship between prayer and kingdom effectiveness. Following their teaching on "Living the Apostolic Prayer Pattern: Power, Purpose, and Partnership in Prayer," they explore whether fruitful kingdom work is even possible without prayer backing it.The conversation covers several key themes:Prayer as Alignment, Not Just Results - Rather than viewing prayer as a formula for bigger numbers or guaranteed outcomes, they discuss how prayer aligns us with God's definition of success, which often looks radically different from worldly metrics.Prayer as Relationship - Moving beyond the "gas station" approach to prayer, they explore how consistent communication with God builds genuine friendship and intimacy, arguing that you can't truly be a Christian without an active prayer life.Corporate Prayer and Community - Using Paul's call to "strive together in prayer" as a launching point, they examine how praying for others binds the body of Christ together in love and creates shared investment in each other's victories and struggles.Prayer as Refuge - Drawing from 1 Peter 4:7, they discuss how prayer serves as an anchor during chaotic times, providing a "taste of Eden" and helping believers process anxiety and overwhelming circumstances in light of God's sovereignty.Practical Prayer - They share stories from their Kingdom Connections ministry, emphasizing the power of specific, measurable prayer requests and the importance of tracking God's answers to build faith.Throughout the episode, Brennan and Zach maintain their characteristic conversational style, complete with tangents about dogs, Gen Z slang mishaps, and their love of alliteration, while wrestling with profound questions about prayer's role in the Christian life.Support the show
