Listening Prayer Ministry Facilitator’s Binder
Training Introduction
The goal of this ministry is to facilitate others in enjoying intimacy with God. So, before jumping into the training material it is critical that we grasp the fact that we must first enjoy encountering God ourselves if we are to help others encounter Him.
Therefore we suggest that as each aspect of the training unfolds, you go to God and ask Him if there is anything He has to say to you personally about it. In time we intend to insert listening and journaling questions to help you in receiving what He has for you in each major area.
Secondly, this ministry is not intended to provide tools for you to fix anybody! It is all too easy for us to think we know what someone needs and attempt to manipulate or control the direction of the dialogue with the Father. Instead, we must surrender any preconceptions or agendas and recognize and yield to the reality that He alone knows what the person needs so that we remain utterly dependent and responsive to His leading.
Lastly, as described in the Facilitator’s Binder’s Internship Process page, this material does not equip you to minister as a Listening Prayer Ministry (LPM) Facilitator! Ideally, you should receive ministry, observe others receiving ministry and then have a mentor oversee while you learn to facilitate.
