A Multi-Ethnic Ministry (Local, National and International) Touching Individual Hearts.
"Training And Equipping People To Fulfill Their Potential Through Love And Servanthood."
We invite you to join us every Monday morning at 8:30am as we meet via our telephones for a time of prayer. To participate, call 1-712-432-0180 and enter the access code (200593#) when prompted. Be sure to include the "#" sign in the access code. Please participate and be one of those changing our world by prayer.
WE BELIEVE as John Wesley stated some 200 years ago, "God does nothing on earth but by believing prayer." We believe that prayer is the highest law of the universe. Our prayers give a sovereign God the legal right to enter into the earthly affairs of man who has a free will and was given dominion over the earth. Therefore, our prayers are essential to God performing His will on earth.
WE BELIEVE that prayer should be the foundation of every church and ministry organization. We believe that PRAYER is the ministry -- not preparation for the ministry. Thus prayer should receive top priority. This was the intention of Jesus in Mark 11:17..."My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations..."
OUR PURPOSE is to inspire, motivate and invigorate the body of Christ, locally, nationally and internationally, to respond to God's call to prayer. It is through prayer that we come into an intimate relationship with God, and in that relationship we can hear His compassionate heart as He calls us to stand in the gap and intercede that all be saved.
WE PROPOSE to accomplish our vision by teaching the scriptural principles of prayer through classes taught at CDM, through conferences nationally and internationally, and through providing opportunities to practice and apply these principles by participating in prayer sessions.
TO ACCOMPLISH God's purpose, our prayer ministry supports every department of CDM through intercession. We have individual, small group and corporate prayer on a continuing basis. Each leader at CDM is supported by prayer, and prayer covers the specific needs of his or her responsibilities. We pray for those who support CDM financially and for each individual member of Christ Discipleship Ministries. We pray for our community, our nation, other nations and the persecuted church all over the world. We pray for prayer requests received via telephone, mail and the internet. We participate in many activities of the present day prayer movement such as the National Day of Prayer and praying through the 40-70 Window, etc. We take very seriously God's call to be a house of prayer.
Prescription for Healing
The following verses of scripture can be used when praying for healing:
- Proverbs 4:20-22: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. (The word health could have been translated medicine.)
- Psalm 103:2-3: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine (my) iniquities; Who healeth all thy (my) diseases...
- Isaiah 53:4-5: Surely He hath borne our (my) griefs, and carried our (my) sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our (my) transgressions, He was bruised for our (my) iniquities: the chastisement of our (my) peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are (I am) healed. (Griefs could have been accurately translated sickness; sorrows could have been pains.)
- Matthew 8:17: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our (my) infirmities, and bare our (my) sicknesses.
- 1 Peter 2:24: Who His own self bare our (my) sins in His own body on the tree, that we (I), being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were (I am) healed.
