Kingdom-Principled, Church-Focused Prayer

Prayer Transformation Ministries is dedicated to helping God’s people pray, prepare for, and experience transformation that is Kingdom-principled and church-focused, meaning it is practical, focused, and most of all true in the biblical sense.

What does this mean?

Kingdom-Principled:
Jesus’ prayer was “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

• This means that we do not teach methodologies or programs to be implemented or “purchased” as a path to transformation. Each congregation and community must learn to hear from the Lord for their own unique situation and destiny.
• This means that transformation is “presence-based.” It is birthed, sustained, and spread by the pervading, manifest presence of God in a community—and not by human organization and planning. It is beyond human endeavor and expectation.
• This means teaching the Kingdom principles that accompany transformation are not based in human programs or institutions.

These Kingdom principles include:

• Humility
• Repentance
• Unity
• Prayer
• Servanthood
• Desperation
• Obedience
• Compassion

Church-Focused:
The principles of transformation must be communicated and understood in ways that can be translated into the life of any congregation that seeks to know and embrace them, making them relevant for that community. God works through the local church, and we value its role and place.

• Pastoral and Church Leadership
  • Creating an awareness by exposure to Transformation videos and other materials to begin or expand an understanding of what God is doing by way of transformation in the world today. (Click here for resources.)
  • Availability to “Fire Tours” and other means of personal experiencing contemporary transformation in various locations around the world. This means actually traveling to a place to witness firsthand the power of God to heal the land, as well as hear the testimonies of those who have been transformed through repentance and desperation for God. (Check www.sentinelgroup.org for "Fire Tours.")
  • Educating your congregation by teaching on principles of transformation and showing examples of transformed societies.
  • Offer training and consultation that includes staff prayer retreats, “Culture of Prayer” teaching, learning to “inquire and hear from the Lord," and walking in the unique ways God leads individual congregations
     
• Ultimately, being Kingdom-principled and church-focused means:
  • Practical: Ways that you can understand for your life today.
  • Focused: Pointed and relevant for the purpose of attracting th
  • presence of God in transformation.
  • True (Biblical): Able to support and demonstrate from the Scripture in a true and balanced manner.
