Prayer Bootcamp Week 5
Prayer Bootcamp Week 5
What we did in the session this week 10/29/24:
We focused our final session of prayer bootcamp on praise and worship in song. We read Psalms 149 and 150 in small group and then heard a fantastic testimony from Linda and spent time worshipping the Lord as Reggie led us in praise.
We also watched a short portion of Alpha on praise -- from around 13:30 min (though 11:45 starts with the preacher to the pope, so you might want to start there - 17:32...or feel free to watch the whole thing)!

In the media you will find most of the class time besides the worship. Linda's incredible and inspiring testimony starts at 10Min
Extras! Check out a talk from Fr. Alex on Praise and Worship and Christian Unity & a Talk From Peggy on our design to be worshippers and where we find this in the Bible (throw back to Burning Ones days)

Continuing asking the Lord questions and listening for answers, seeking to hear His voice.

1) Start with two worship songs / ACTS prayer
2)Ask the Lord questions and journal your answers
3) Read and meditate on scripture (go back to past classes, if you have not yet done all those home-works, for suggestions, or choose your own program of reading) and dialogue with God about the passage/do a lectio divina. journal the revelation Holy Spirit gives you

EXTRA on Hearing God's Voice -- 8 minutes from Mark Virkler -- a great teacher who from his own disappointments and experience learned over time how to hear God's voice and teach others to do so (much of the method we learn/Fr. Alex teaches in Mass comes from him)
