After six months of Holy Spirit-directed intercession, we have witnessed the answer to our prayers, the revival of the brethren and the healing of our souls and our bodies and witnessed and received God’s unmerited favor in our lives. 

During the month of July 2024, we shall revisit prayer points from the past six months and address government, business, and communities in our prayer focus. 

We want to pray for our government officials and all elected leaders. May God do a mighty work in and through our families, communities, government, and church. We will pray for various cultural "Mountains of Influence." To bring God's Kingdom to earth, Christians must pray for and be active in these seven key areas of influence. 

What Are The 7 Mountains of Influence? 

The Seven Mountains of Influence, as outlined in the Philadelphia Tabernacle of David 

Prayer Focuses, represent the primary spheres of culture that shape a nation:

• Business
• Arts 
• Entertainment 
• Media 
• Family 
• Education
• Religion 

{Here, "religion" refers to the divine and spiritual world through a set of beliefs, practices, and moral codes, not specifically to the "Church." God intends for the Church to address every "mountain" or cultural focus.} 

The premise of the 7 Mountains is that Christians are not meant to stay in the Church; for we are the ekklesia, “the called out ones”. We must conduct business in the marketplace to engage, encourage and lead others to Christ. In addition, we are commanded as saints regardless of our professions to “go and make disciples of all nations” according to Matthew 28:19. 

Be led by Holy Spirit in your private prayer time to pray for specific areas of each mountain. God will incite in you a passion to pray in depth for the points we have generated for this month. We encourage you and invite you to pray fervently for these points. 

In addition, we invite you to remain in prayer for all arms of the prayer ministry as we remain diligent and pray to the heart of God. 

Suggested Prayer Points

These are just suggestions. As you spend time with God and inquire of Him how to address your prayers this month, feel free to direct your points as the Holy Spirit leads, and to use scriptures of your choosing.

January - Living a Consecrated and Surrendered Life

Prayer Point: Prayer that we communicate clearly to others the importance of being in relationship with God. Being consecrated is a critical component in our relationship to God and to those in the world.

1 Peter 3:15 "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

But do this with gentleness and respect.

Prayer Point: Pray that we live in alignment with our consecration to the Lord and remember that we have submitted our lives to the Lord.

Scriptures: Romans: 12:1 When we consecrate ourselves to the Lord, we present ourselves to the Lord as a living sacrifice to satisfy His heart’s desire. This is a significant purpose of our consecration to the Lord.

Romans: 12:1 To present ourselves as a living sacrifice to the Lord is a most reasonable service. Such service does not depend on our working for the Lord but on our satisfying God. This also should be a purpose of our consecration to the Lord.

Prayer Point: Pray that we all, especially our young people come into a better understanding of dying to self.

Scriptures: Galatians 6:10(KJV) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Prayer Point: Pray that believers learn to let God’s plans prevail.

Scriptures: James 4:13-15 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.

Prayer Point: May the Holy Spirit fall upon us like a mighty rushing wind

Scripture: 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[ a] as the Spirit enabled them.

February - Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry:

Prayer Point: Pray for boldness and protection for those going out to prayer stations around the City of Philadelphia.

Scriptures: Psalm 91:10-11 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Scriptures: James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Hebrews 13:20-21

Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what Prayer Point: We are equipped to Win! God has a wonderful plan for our lives, and that plan includes using our gifts and talents to have victory over the enemy of our souls. Because Christ defeated our Adversary, we pray that we will live knowing that we have the victory, even if we’ve lost a round in the fight of life, we gained the lesson! For we know that in the end, we win! Scriptures:

1 Corinthians 15:57

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Colossians 2:15

He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer Point: Let us encourage those gifted with discernment to trust God for this gift. Do not fear it, but trust that He is revealing the true condition of the human spirit to you, whether good or bad. Pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance on whether and how to share this revelation and how to handle it appropriately. Scriptures:

1 John 4:1, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

1 Corinthians 2:10-12

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all

things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Scriptures: Galatians 4:4-7 (Message Translation) But when the time arrived that was set by God the Father, God sent his Son, born among us of a woman, born under the conditions of the law so that he might redeem those of us who have been kidnapped by the law. Thus we have been set free to experience our rightful heritage. You can tell for sure that you are now fully adopted as his own children because God sent the Spirit of his Son into our lives Prayer Point: Pray that generational curses and iniquities be broken and not hinder us today.

Scriptures: Jeremiah 31:29-31 29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.30But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.31Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:crying out, “Papa! Father!” Doesn’t that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child? And if you are a child, you’re also an heir, with complete access to

the inheritance.

Prayer Point: Pray that children who are adopted are shielded and protected from verbal, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Scriptures: Deuteronomy 10:17-18 (NIV) For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. 18He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.
