Guidelines for Intercessors
|
Guidelines for intercessory assignments have become necessary It’s important for us to be aware of the environment we are entering into and the authority structures in place for protection of your team and the protection of others you are partnering with.
It is needful that your team’s assignment and purpose align with apostolic leadership especially when taking on land assignments. Those who are your apostolic oversight need to be aware of your assignment and be in agreement that you are mature enough to step into that territory.

- Make sure you are called to the assignment and be submitted to the team leadership and their appointed leaders.
- Anointing with oil on government property is not allowed.
- Prophetic acts that leave debris on property should not be allowed.
- Stay upright and discreet so as not to draw attention to yourselves or your team.
- Make sure the intercessors on your team are not novices, have been trained, understand the
concept of submission to authority. - When dealing with spiritual powers, we must have nothing in us that would activate a backlash
against us personally, the team, our families. - Novices to spiritual warfare should not take on demonic structures. Demonic structures are
addressed corporately with apostolic oversight, with several confirmations from the Spirit of God. Do not go beyond your approved assignment. Jesus said in John 14:30, “ - Before entering into a prayer assignment, it is important to allow Holy Spirit to point out any heart issues that may hinder authority. Anything in you that the enemy can access can put you or your team in danger of repercussion. Pray through Psalms 24 before ascending the hill of the Lord to do battle or pray.
- We are greater together than separate. It is recommended that you stay under a corporate anointing under authority for greater power and authority.
- Write down what you discern or share with the team and its leadership; stay in unity. Never separate yourself from team decisions. The corporate anointing is greater than our individual anointings.
- Be respectful of property.
Decree discreetly; do not draw attention to yourself by unnecessary gestures or reactions. - Do not leave the group, wander around by yourself, or get out of alignment with the team. Remember this is war against principalities and powers. We must walk together, pray in unity, and submit our revelations to the team for agreement.
Psalms 24:3-10 NAS

May the Lord keep us humble, submitted to authority, and willing to be under authority to gain greater authority. Thank you for loving our nation. Together we will see breakthrough. Wrestling with the powers of darkness requires diligence, purity of heart, and willingness to be under authority to gain greater authority.
