House of Prayer & Worship
The House of Prayer & Worship Model
A general, simplified session for 24/7 prayer, worship, supplication and adoration.
Pre
Our spiritual "stuff" for praise, prayer & adoration
Many people believe that our prayers are a great spiritual burden and that we must achieve spiritual results through unceasing struggle. Well, the believer may have many struggles to fight, but intercession and priestly service can only start from/within the place of glory, from the position we have inherited.Christ has paid the price for our sonship.
Christ has paid the full price for His Authority, given by the Father!
And we are given the gift of the infinite, dignified life of a divine Family. The Family whose head is the Majestic Gd Who rules over all.
Praised be His Name!
He is the Lord of Hosts (1Pt 3:15 /a → Isa 8:12-13 /a) and He has campaigns for the Deliverance, and every humans are addressed.
Aspects
Because this is a priestly ministry it has at least three aspects:a holy nation, a people for His possession,
1Pt 2:9
I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, and His robe filled the temple. Seraphim were standing above Him; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another:
Isa 6:1-4
We also praise, pray and proclaim. We in this way show the Heaven on earth.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts;
His glory fills the whole earth.
The foundations of the doorways shook at the sound of their voices, and the temple was filled with smoke. His glory fills the whole earth.
Isa 6:1-4
..and the glory sends out angelic hosts, fighting, sends the Holy Spirit, forming nations – and sends You who is His Glorious Reflection.
King David confessed:
I have asked one thing from the Lord;
it is what I desire:
to dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
gazing on the beauty of the Lord
and seeking Him in His temple.
ForHe will conceal me in His shelter
in the day of adversity;
He will hide me under the cover of His tent;
He will set me high on a rock.
Then my head will be high
above my enemies around me;
I will offer sacrifices in His tent
with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Psalm 27:4-6

in the day of adversity;
above my enemies
with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Psalm 27:4-6
The down to Earth side of the prayer
There is a minimum "rule" for the everyday, technical structure of prayer. There's no need for expensive solutions and special equipment. No need for a good mood. It is a call to action for all believers, always and every day. Jesus taught about this. He has the "Our Father" Prayer List model and the dynamic 2-phase Prayer model as well. The only important point in our human side is the focus, conducted by steadfast, everyday service.Rota & tech.
Practical experience has shown that it is worth considering a one-hour rotation in prayer groups. It is not recommended to form groups of less than 3 people and it is not recommended to put unmarried people of different sexes in the same group. It is good to have a mature family man or woman in each rotation as head of the group.The room should be as quiet/soundproof and well ventilated as possible. Mobile phones should be switched off / airplane mode is recommended, not just in silent mode. This can be requested specifically, at the beginning of the session.
And that's all what we must prepare technically.
Address & Pattern
Each shift usually follows the same pattern.
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1Tim 2:1
This apostolic approach assumes that it makes no difference whether we pray for certain powers, social or ethnic groups. In the Kingdom of God you will find no hard or easy issues - compared to His power. Paul also states that these prayers have a direct connection to our secure lives. 1Tim 2:1
This prayer includes praying for church leaders, direct political leaders /responsibles and kings /political top leaders in society.
Only practical difference between groups can be the intercession for global and local crisis situations. They are numerous and we have a finite time.
It's worth to mention that we have no opportunity to do leftist or rightist political prayer. Every earthly power needs prayer background! (Prov 21:1) Kingdom is our position. They, the kings & rulers also have position (Mt 22:15-22). Jesus understand that system – some believer is not.. just saying.
The Time schedule
· Do not start your priestly service without "reset".In any case, the first part begins with confession of sins - there is no other elements to hide. We are turning to God. Then exaltation, and praise are coming. All praise, adoration and worship is to be offered to God and requires the equilibrium, balance of our souls and minds for priestly service.
· All prayer topics that come up in the second section should be kept for leaders and people in positions of responsibility. The glorious process starts from inside out:
Leaders, elders & heads of congregation, church, district, city, county, country, parliaments, institutions, missions, locally and continental.
· The third section brings up and intercedes for continental and global conflicts. Here it is important to agree to bring the issues before God with thanksgiving, focusing on possible solutions and known missions. {worldly missions, like UN missions or Red Cross, Unicef too}
..whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise — dwell on these things.
Phil 4:8
· The fourth section concerns the everyday lives of the people present. This is the last section: We give and serve first and then take care of our own affairs, getting benefits from our Master.
Phil 4:8
Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure — pressed down, shaken together, and running over — will be poured into your lap.
Lk 6:38
Which one of you having a slave tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? Instead, will he not tell him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, get ready, and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that slave because he did what was commanded? 10 In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are good-for-nothing slaves; we’ve only done our duty.’
Lk 17:7-10
As for our own affairs: Lk 6:38
Which one of you having a slave tending sheep or plowing will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? Instead, will he not tell him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, get ready, and serve me while I eat and drink; later you can eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that slave because he did what was commanded? 10 In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are good-for-nothing slaves; we’ve only done our duty.’
Lk 17:7-10
This stage is very personal & intimate... it can be emotional, often painful and requires wisdom and love from the leader. On the other hand, we must always take care that our prayers come together with thanksgiving before the throne, lest bitter unbelief should be a barrier between us and the Prince of life. He will react – and care of you.
Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-9
If someone has a serious problem and needs help, the pastoral ministry should be the first place to go. Intercession is not the same as dealing with needs and wants!
Phil 4:6-9
When you pray, don’t babble like the idolaters, since they imagine they’ll be heard for their many words. Don’t be like them, because your Father knows the things you need before you ask Him.
Mt 6:7-8
Mt 6:7-8
The leaders
(Jesus' spherical model)In closing, the role of the group leader should be highlighted. The pastors give role model in the prayer. We need sober, focused mind during the event. Some people tend to sign up for 24/7 prayer ministry without understanding the preferences of the priestly ministry. This is a task, a job. And it has a form or shape in the everyday life.

Tips
· Praise around the ThroneFrom here the Glory of God emanates the authority and the divine power.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word...

· Praise around the Clock
It is worth noting the versatile prayer pattern of the Jerusalem House of Prayer where intercessory prayers are held in the direction of the 12 gates of the city in 12 shifts every hour. In this way, the conflict zones of the planet are addressed, literary around the clock.
· Praise and Worship culture In addition, the typical Houses of Prayer also teach a praise culture, seeking out diverse talents {including all artistic and civic talents, folks with missional calling, seeking other representative spiritual activities in society}. It focuses on the person of God, His sovereignty and especially on the divine authority and work of the Holy Spirit.
Summary
Our priestly ministry is done in worship by praising and co-working with God. All persons are equally involved in worship, leaders and beginners alike. It means that everyone is invited to be active priest in His Kingdom.The Lord is the supreme leader.* He sits on the throne and is Lord of hosts. He decides the next events in history that require our prayer ministry and intercession. We are royal priesthood (1Pt 2:9), not laymen priesthood.
*We must also recognize the key role of intercession and briefing in the lives of leaders.
In this way, The first half of the schedule is dedicated to Him.
The other sections run in a steady chronological order and with an orderly theme.
The last part of the hour is about personal matters.
We pray because Jesus, the High Priest prays. We are making interceding pleas because he, Jesus is working, living & praying for us, bringing petitions to the Throne that "His will be done".
The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
and His kingdom rules over all.
Praise the Lord,
all His angels of great strength,
who do His word,
obedient to His command.
Praise the Lord, all His armies,
His servants who do His will.
Praise the Lord, all His works
in all the places where He rules.
My soul, praise Yahweh!
