Prayer & Intercession
Raid and Plunder
The Lord laid on our hearts the terms raid and plunder early last week, and we knew that to raid and plunder would be an important now word for this time of warfare, to see the Kingdom extended.
The definition of raid and plunder is: “A surprise attack by a small armed force, a sudden forcible entry into a place or an entrance into another's territory for the purpose of seizing goods or valuables” and to “seize (valuables or goods) from (a place) by force usually in wartime or to loot.”
We are the “small” armed force (prayer warriors) who will force our way into the enemy’s territory to seize valuable souls for Christ! As a united force, we will raid and plunder the enemy’s territory with skill and precision to bring in the end time harvest. The mission is clear and we are determined to see people in our community come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
DGFC’ers have united in the call to a season of prayer and fasting, to see God sending the harvesters into the fields and for the harvest to be released in great numbers.
We trust God to honour Proverbs 2:23 which says, “for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them.”
Are you ready to raid and plunder to see others receive the gift of eternal life? It is TIME!

Prayer Explosion!
We started the year with a powerhouse prayer meeting as the prayer team dedicated themselves and the church to the Lord as we wanted to “start the year off right!”
Entering a New Dimension of Warfare and Triumph!
For the next four weeks you will be seeking Me in a new way. I will reorder the way that you've heard Me. I will even reorder the plans and the assignments that you presently have. This will be the beginning of the reordering so you can produce what I need produced. Little by little you can retake what the enemy has taken.
Watch Now for 7 DAYS to PLOW into the Year Ahead!
Last Saturday night at our Firstfruits Celebration the Lord released a strategic word about watching. This is usually not a season that we are watchful. However, many enemies are on the road ahead. I believe du
International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church 2008
Sunday November 9th 2008
But you are not alone...
There is a wonderful little story from Africa. The villagers in a poor area decided to build a hospital but really had no money so a small boy decided he would do something. The only things he had were some pens. So he started to knock on doors asking people to buy a pen to support the building project. A lady said to him, "But that's too big a challenge for you!" Then the boy smiled and said, "Oh, but I am not alone! My smaller brother is selling pens on the other side of the street."
Many brothers and sisters in Christ in more than sixty nations do not have the full freedom to confess Jesus as Lord and Saviour in our world. Just to give you two examples: when you read this some two thousand Christians are in prison in Eritrea and thousands have lost their homes in India as a result of anti-Christian attacks.
Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem
This year, more than 200,000 churches in 175 nations will participate in the largest Israel-focused prayer event in history. On October 5, 2008, and every year on the first Sunday of every October, join us in this historic quest to see God's purposes fulfilled in God's holy city.
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you.'" (Psalm 122:6)
'A Holy Invitation in This Hour' by Jill Austin
Haggai 2:7, "'I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty."
There is a holy invitation over this hour - a hand-designed, God-authored, initiated and written invitation to respond rightly to God�s desire to accelerate the work that the Lord is doing in this hour.
The Church has had 2000 years of teaching, and yet the Bride still has not made herself ready. What must we do in this hour to see the Joel 2 latter-day outpouring and the release of the sevenfold Spirit of Isaiah 11?
Prayer for Israel
The greatest blessing to Israel and her leaders would be unconditional surrender to the leadership of God through Messiah Yeshua.
Indeed, this is Israel's ultimate destiny. Even now, the faithful remnant of believers in Israel is growing and maturing toward this end. As we pray forth this greatest blessing for Israel, the story of Gideon (Judges 6-8) is prophetically significant as a guide to intercession. It offers specific and timely points of targeted prayer focus.
The First of Months in the Year of New Beginnings: Let Judah Go First!
These are intense but glorious times throughout the world. The Church is arising from nation to nation. I am seeing a hunger for prophetic revelation. This will give us vision of what God is doing this hour (Proverbs 29:18). Without prophetic revelation, we lose our way.
We must be willing to tear down the religious structures that keep the wineskin for this age from coming forth with power. In this season, a major shift is coming in the way we worship and acknowledge God corporately.
James Goll and Al Thomas: It's the Time of the Changing of the Guard
Posted on Elijah List on February 17, 2008
Change in the Global Prayer Movement
There will be a true changing of the guard in the prayer movement. New prayer watches, prayer chains, and special times of fasting will be initiated by ministries and churches that have not been known for this emphasis. New leadership will come forth as the baton is passed from one generation to the next. This is great news that the global prayer movement is growing and becoming stronger.
While in recent years, "bridal intercession" has been a needed emphasis, the "warrior anointing" will be emphasized as the Holy Spirit pours out an authentic spirit of "faith that fights" to break the strangle holds of darkness.
