LEADER:
Someone must act as the MC for the concert. This means he or she must remain at the platform area or at least near a microphone to coordinate the segments. Each division can be separated by a hymn or chorus appropriately chosen. Also, the MC needs to be time aware and ring a bell, lead a chorus, or announce between the segments to transition to the next.

MUSIC:
Music can be played softly on a CD in the background during prayers. This often enhances the prayer time and avoids uncomfortable silence. Keep it soft instrumental music. People should be encouraged to minister to the Lord as He leads. If a group senses a chorus arising in their hearts they should be free to lead out, others will join in as the Spirit leads or it may just enhance ongoing prayers.

SCRIPTURE:
God speaks! That is why we spend so much time in cultivating intimacy. Let God speak through his Word. An open Bible is a wonderful prayer tool whether with Psalms of praise, or admonishments and exhortations, or encouragement. Let it be Scripture read aloud so all can hear. Praying Scripture is has a powerful effect on all of us. It is God speaking to the pray-ers.

SPIRIT OF GOD:
Be sure to let the Spirit of God lead. If there is a segment that lends itself to more fervent prayers and tears, don't interrupt it just to keep on schedule. The schedule is a guide, but Jesus is Lord! If revival breaks out in times of confession or burden bearing you don't want to quench the Spirit. Go with God and you cannot go wrong.

TRIPLETS:
We encourage you to divide the congregation up into sets of three, called "triplets," for the purpose of focused group prayers. People should feel free at the beginning of the session to find their own group partners with whom they may be comfortable. Where triplets are not possible larger groups of up to six persons can be used.

PRAYER LOCATIONS:
During the Intercessory Prayer times the room should be divided up into six sections with a sign above indicating that location. As an alternative you could set up nearby rooms for the same purpose with each clearly identified. Groups should circulate at the prescribed time to the next room on the list in this order, Souls, Saints, Sick, Ministers, Missionaries, Magistrates. To begin the intercession either groups or triplets (depending on the size of the crowd) should be assigned a starting point. Try to keep these to no more than 10 per group.

PRAYER ROOMS:
Each room should provide promptings and instructions for praying for that area. For instance,

• Souls Room should have forms for "Top Ten List" on which to write targeted people with accompanying guide to prayer.
• Saints Room should include local church phone lists, or photo directories to pray over.
• Sick (Healing) Room should have anointing oil for the sick.
• Ministers Room should have photos of ministers, a District prayer list of pastors, or District photo directory.
• Missionary Room could have a world map and photos of missionaries.
• Magistrates Room should have several national newspapers to pray over the headlines, and/or lists of the President's Cabinet.

GUIDES, NOTEBOOKS AND PEN:
Prayer guides should be provided giving promptings for each segment of prayer. It would be well for each participant to have a journal or notebook in which to write promptings of the Holy Spirit and burdens for prayer given during these hours.

POSITIONS:
It is important that there be variety during the prayer sessions. Sitting IS NOT the preferred prayer position (though it is western man's cultural position). There are many other positions to pray in, standing, walking, pacing, laying prostrate, kneeling, bending, sitting on floor, hands raised to God, etc.
