prayer & holy spirit ministries
come, holy spirit …
Sometimes the simplest prayers are the best prayers. One prayer that has been prayed by the church in many forms over the past 2,000 years has become very important to us … it is the prayer: “Come, Holy Spirit.”
Partnering with the Holy Spirit in all aspects of prayer and ministry — whether inside the church or out in the world — is one of our core values. Jesus said he would send “power from on high” to equip his Church. We are the Church — everyday Christians taking Jesus at his word, listening to his voice as we create space for the Holy Spirit to move and work in the lives of those we meet, no matter where we are. (Vineyard USA)
“Because the Holy Spirit is active in speaking to His people ... our job as Christians is to give the Holy Spirit permission to move in our lives and gatherings.”
AFTER ALL SUNDAY SERVICES
prayer ministry
Jesus said: “Just as the Father sent me, I am sending you.” We believe that what he meant is that we can learn how to do the same things he did — that we can learn to pray effectively for the sick, deliver people from spiritual oppression, speak God’s heart directly to people through prophecy and words of knowledge, and help bring people into a fuller experience of God’s love. The primary way we do all of these things at the North Jersey Vineyard is through Prayer Ministry.
Our trained Prayer Ministry Team is available after each of our Sunday services.
healing rooms
Throughout the year, we open up the church to anyone who is seeking extended prayer for any situation in their life. Sometimes for more effective results, we need to spend more time praying with people than the few minutes after a weekend worship service. People come to our Healing Rooms with a variety of needs: physical, spiritual, emotional. Our Healing Rooms give us an opportunity to “soak” people in prayer for up to 30 minutes. Our trained Prayer Ministry Team are on hand at these important and life-giving gatherings.
Our next Healing Rooms date will be posted when scheduled.
EVERY SUNDAY | 8am & 10:45am
intercessory prayer
Do you have a heart for praying for others? Do you often find yourself listening to God and praying for people and/or situations? Do you desire to see God move through prayer so lives and circumstances will change?
Intercessory Prayer is simply praying on behalf of others and/or for specific situations and circumstances. Often referred to as “standing in the gap,” Intercessory Prayer is a way to build bridges between God and the people for whom we are praying. The Bible says that both Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercede for us (Romans 8:27), so we then are able and called upon to intercede on behalf of others.
Consider joining our Intercessory Prayer Team as we gather together every Sunday morning before the second service to seek God’s heart for our pastors, our leaders, our church, and our community and watch God move through the power of prayer.
