SYNOPSIS
The purpose of prayer in Christian development and church support is to draw upon the proven leadership, provision, and values of those who have a track record in this field. These individuals have followed close promptings and have a valid prayer vision that demonstrates God's love and life. Although it may be risky to highlight their experience, they do so in order to establish their authority with God and maintain a pure honor for the things of God.

Prayer is an essential ministry of Christ that serves as evidence of His priestly authority and power with God. It allows him to address the deepest hurts, wounds, and discouragements within the hearts of his people. In a similar vein, the Spirit of God superimposes Christ's value and worth upon believers, representing them in heavenly places as blameless and under no condemnation of fear. This produces a desire to initiate prayers that become divine appointments and bring about miraculous power. Christ never turned anyone away when they were imperfect or struggling. Instead, he used prayer with strong fasting habits, anointing, and discernment to crush the plans of the enemy and break down the most impossible strongholds. These strongholds may be embedded by the lies of the enemy, hidden sin, or places of defeat where individuals view themselves as unworthy, nonredeemable, or unloved. The purpose of real prayer is to help people overcome these challenges and find healing, restoration, and hope in Christ.

CHARACTER AND ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IN PRAYER:

I. Introduction

The speaker has traveled to many places and has observed the characteristics of effective shepherds (i.e. leaders in the church)

II. Characteristics of effective shepherds

Fear God: have a deep reverence and respect for God

Don't gossip: refrain from spreading rumors or information that is not true or meant to be shared

 "Engaging in casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people's private lives"

Act with humility: do not think of themselves as superior to others based on their degrees or positions
 "Not acting head above shoulders: behaving in a haughty or arrogant manner"

Do not manipulate church service: do not use the church for personal gain or to advance a personal agenda
          "Using methods or tactics in a deceptive or unfair way to achieve a desired outcome"

Have a prayer backbone: prioritize prayer and rely on it as a source of strength and guidance
         "Demonstrating a strong foundation and commitment to prayer in their walk with God just as equivocal and on par with the ministry of Christ."

Walk the walk: demonstrate their faith through their actions and behavior

Do not allow compromise: do not allow deviation from or modification of their beliefs or values, particularly in regards to doctrine, spirituality: Ethical practice, financial stewardship and are in the same requirement of biblical prayer.
               "a weakening or degradation of one's principles or standards"

III. Conclusion

Finding shepherds with these characteristics is the greatest value for powerful prayer, as they are able to lead and guide the church in a way that is faithful to God and His Word.

                "The founder of CDCS RESEARCH values good shepherds who fear God, do not engage in harmful behaviors, and maintain strong foundations in prayer and their walk with God, as they are essential for powerful prayer in the church.

Additionally, 

The speaker takes prayer just as seriously as Christ did during His time on earth and values the power and strength that can be found through prayer in a New Covenant understanding of Christ. We are asking God to bear witness, associate and demonstrate a qualified response to something He has deemed holy and set-apart in Christ as assistance to our mission in the earth. Lightly esteeming or acting on prayer with a limited or contrary view than what is stated here is not the ministry of Christ. Prayer is an infallible genuine heart reaction to being in the presence of God and we consider as consecrated and biblically inspired as the Words of Christ revealed in our personal times meeting with God. How we connect and engage can't be a determination of our own intellect or choosing, but in accordance with Church ordinance, effective witness and a tool of completeness of those who appropriate the promises of God in places of prayer. If it is qualified, it is complete. if it is fulfilled, it means it is right before God and He will stand by with firm obligation to empower what you commit to Him as an act of faith, and a faithful commitment by His spirit to conform the results and outflow of genuine prayer to Christ's person and sacrifice on the cross. He will be there in the midst:

"Prayer without the presence of God then is not a biblical foundation and is an evidence of a religious spirit of iniquity!"

II. The Importance of Prayer as a ministry we take to heart  The Transformative Power of Prayer

The most critical value is placed on the life, longevity, patience, and internal victory found through prayer.

Entering the holy of holies, the place of God's Covenant Rest, and boldly commanding things in the fear of God is made possible through a covenant relationship with God.
"Therefore, God places the most critical value on the life, longevity, patience, and internal victory we find in places of prayer"

III. Overcoming Struggles Through Prayer

• Struggles such as unbelief, torment, fear, guilt, limitations, feeling disconnected from God, anxiety, depression, discouragement, blind spots, and weakness in living out one's faith can be overcome through the power of prayer.
• False teaching, unverified practices, and compromise in one's understanding of the Word can also be addressed through prayer.

"We faithfully resist the enemy in a spirit of resurrection power that we don't work up in our flesh... so the Spirit can take over and accomplish the Will of God in us and for others."

Why is prayer such a essential focus for the mission of the church- well, ask yourself what you are willing to tolerate in the divisions, delusions and contrary influences in the church when you don't value the quality of genuine prayer as Christ did?

IV. III. The Importance of the Mind of Christ and a Ministry of Prayer in Power, Love, and a Sound Mind

• The Mind of Christ refers to having the same perspective and mindset as Christ, as well as being guided by His thoughts and attitudes.
• A ministry of prayer in power, love, and a sound mind involves using the authority and strength given to us through prayer to serve others in a loving and rational way.

We ask,
Struggling in Unbelief,
Torment,
Fear,
Guilt,
And limitations?
Stuck In Dry times of not knowing the Voice of God, or feeling away from God?
Anxiety, Depression, Or Discouragements plaguing you?
Blind spots, weak points of connecting aspects of your faith To Living them Out in a Biblical reality like Christ?
The inner voice of accusations attacking your function, gifting, and worth in Christ?
Been a victim of false teaching, value systems against the Bible or deception of unverified practices that have brought darkness and compromise in your vision of the Word?
Have you been getting red flags, checks In your spirit that a doctrine or presentation at your church seems off?"

What would our response to prayer, and the result of real prayer in a biblical reality look like involving these issues?

                       Struggling with a Lack of Closeness with God 
Our leadership acknowledges people can struggle with feeling distant or isolated from God at times, and offers prayer as a means of strengthening their relationship with Him. The source or basis of why that distance seems to exist is not unfamiliar with consistent challenges we need to address with New Covenant identity and understanding of why we have felt these things about our walk.

                       Blind Spots and Weak Points in Faith

                     Our leadership acknowledges that they may struggle with blind spots and weak points in their faith at times, and                                 offers prayer as a means of strengthening their understanding and living out their faith in a biblical reality.

False Teaching and Deception

Our leadership acknowledges people may struggle with false teaching and deception at times, and offers prayer as a means of finding truth and avoiding compromise.

                       Red Flags and Checks in the Spirit
Our leadership also  acknowledges people may struggle with red flags and checks in their spirit at times, indicating that something may be off in their church or with a particular doctrine. They offer prayer as a means of discerning the truth and finding guidance.

IV. Conclusion

We encourage those who are experiencing struggles or red flags in their faith to turn to prayer for guidance, strength, and restoration.

FORWARD,
We don't treat, diagnose or prescribe any clinical solutions. We are highlighting a topic outline of the varying levels you should look for and expect in prayer if you encounter these struggles or battles. If you feel our platform is requiring a more beyond traumatic Intensive, in-depth sources do exist to tailor on an advanced medical level that we don't offer here. You have can make that determination outside of church what is important for your development in the design God has given you as a restored human being that lives and operates in a healed identity in Christ. We are offering what we have encountered in our training and as individuals, having received breakthroughs in areas we identified as spiritual struggles handled incorrectly.

We don't claim to hold any keys of knowledge or spiritual authority no one else has; we have nothing to offer or present in our platform except Christ. but we do believe 'Victims of spiritual deception, brokenness in families will continue creating the same effect unless we enter into a relationship with God through New Covenant promises to create in us a new, living and powerful expression of Christ's healing He has won for us at Calvary. Why dysfunction and unrest is a general indicator of spiritual striving, and trap of self-defeat where God is asking us, "Who says you are a victim? And why are you thinking that way if God doesn't hold that opinion of you- what then is the source of that struggle and discouragement? " The Spirit of God wants to take over and accomplish the will of God in us, and through us in the healing process if we will get into His presence with a thankful heart, and give him the baggage effecting our ability, reasoning and approach under our own destructive identities we create to solve and fix our own problems without God. The problem may be defined in various alterations in the world's view, but in God's eyes, it has to do with our unbelief and disagreement with the person of Christ, and how we choose to react to the problem of the flesh over our experiences in life!"


We can only uphold our position on spiritual matters, how we observe and handle these matters in prayer with great results within our vision for the church.
