Father, send Your Holy Spirit upon us and all those who will be attending the Life in the Spirit Seminar. Give us all a deeper understanding of Your Love for us and help us to turn away from sin and turn back to You. Prepare our hearts to recommit our lives to Jesus and accept His Gifts of Salvation and New Life.

Lord Jesus, baptize us all with Your Holy Spirit and fill us with all His Gifts, empower us to be Your witnesses and build Your Kingdom on earth.

Holy Spirit, anoint all the speakers, team members, leaders, and assistant leaders, that they may be Your instruments of love, healing, and unity. May You be glorified, Father and through the power of Your Holy Spirit, may Jesus Christ be proclaimed to the entire world. Amen!

Heavenly Father, I come to You through your Son, Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. I thank you for calling me to this ministry. It is a privilege to come into the Lord's presence in the Blessed Sacrament. I know that you have placed the desire in my heart to respond positively to Your call to pray and intercede for the seminar.

Father, we ask that all who are present at this seminar experience a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit. Because You are our loving Father, we trust that You will meet all of Your people's needs. May this gathering be a source of conversion, healing, deliverance and Baptism in the Holy Spirit. May the participants' lives be transformed and recommitted to You as they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Touch the participants' hearts and open their minds to receive and respond to your messages. Bless the participants with the spirit of praise and worship that Jesus may be exalted! Lord, fill the whole building with Your Light! It is our hearts' desire that in all ministries and areas of the seminar, God's Glory will be revealed.

We ask You Jesus, to cover each and every one of us with Your most precious Blood, grant safety to all those traveling to and from the seminar.

Lord, we ask that You anoint every speaker at the seminar. May they be sensitive to the voice of Your Spirit, that Your Word be spoken through them. Guard their hearts, that their main concern is to give You all the Glory!

May all who labor for the success of this seminar work in unity, love, and harmony with each other. May the team members, leaders and assistant leaders be a source of conversion to others by radiating Jesus' love in their lives. We pray that they all possess an attitude of service to others. Give them the Grace to be sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Bless each of them with spiritual and physical well being; give them strength and rest. May Jesus be lifted up, NOT them.

We ask You to anoint the music ministry that they may lead us into true worship. Lord, let there be a fresh out-pouring of your Holy Spirit upon all those involved in the music ministry. We ask You to take control of all the musical instruments and equipment including the sound system, that all these things will operate smoothly and properly to proclaim Your Word.

Father, we pray that this seminar will be a means of a spiritual awakening in Holy Spirit Parish and all of Fairfield, Suisun, Vacaville, and adjacent cities. Let your people come with expectant hearts and experience openness to the Holy Spirit. May all go forth encouraged and empowered. We also ask You to bless the prayer warriors and raise up many more who will pray and intercede for the seminar, anoint each individual involved to make a solid commitment to pray.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through You to the pulling down of strongholds, fears, doubts, unbelief, deceit, and failure. We lead every thought and purpose captive into the obedience of Jesus, the Messiah, and the Anointed One. We cancel the devil's assignment over the lives of each individual You have called to this gathering, in the mighty Name of Jesus, buy the Power of His most Precious Blood, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, though the intercession of our Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints and angels, and by the Power of the Cross, Resurrection, and Ascension. AMEN!

In Your Name dearest Jesus, may Your Kingdom come and may we all recognize You as our Way, our Truth, and our Life. May we become one flock under one Shepherd consecrated to You, our Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And may we all love one another as You love us. AMEN!


O Lord, thank you for the Holy Spirit that you have sent to help us in all things. May he guide us in everything that we do during bible study and as we fellowship together. Holy Spirit, guide us in the way that we should go, and open up scripture in a more profound way that we may see Jesus Christ in every verse that we read. Prepare our hearts so that our hearts are fertile ground for the message that the guest speaker is going to share with us today. When we leave this place, continue guiding us in all that we do and teach us how to apply what we have learned to our lives. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
