Awaken, Align and Advance

In January, Chris Cartwright (Elim’s national leader) shared a New Year message based on three words stirring in his Spirit for the Elim movement: Awaken, Align, Advance. These three words were then included in the Elim National Day of Prayer in January to lead us in prayer.

Watch the clips below and join us in prayer!

Awaken

 

Align

 

Advance

 

Get Up, Get Ready, Get Going

These themes became our community prayer focus in March for ‘Get up, Get Ready and Get Going’ which followed on from this using Isaiah 60:1-3 as a key scripture.

  • Get Up - Arise, Shine, Light, Risen.
  • Get Ready - Behold, State Around Us, Lord arising on us, Glory on us.
  • Get Going - Gentiles (all of us), Come to Light (outreach), People of influence coming to light, Brightness of Jesus seen in us.
     

Let's continue to pray for our communities and nation, using these themes and our prayer resources to guide you.
