FIVE STEP PRAYER MODEL
As a part of the Vineyard movement, we believe that every apprentice of Jesus can do the stuff of Jesus. The following video practically shows how we can do the stuff of Jesus by praying for others.
Here are the five easy steps to relationally and interactively pray for others as we listen to the Holy Spirit.
Step 1: Discussion- Introduce yourself and ask the person what they want prayer for.
Step 2: Discernment – L-shaped listening: to God and to the other person. What is God saying to us? What does He have for the person?
Step 3: Diagnosis – Discernment into action. What kind of prayers should we pray? (Intercessory, Biblical commands, prophetic words)
Step 4: Do It – Ask if you can put your hand on their shoulder and ask the person to assume a receiving posture. Keep your eyes open to observe what the Lord is doing.
Step 5: Next Steps – Check in with the person and ask how they’re doing. Help them make a plan to continue their journey with Jesus.
