Reviving the Call to United Prayer: A Vision for the Body of Christ Part 3

In this powerful message, we dive deep into Zechariah 8:20-22, where God reveals a profound call for corporate, united prayer. After teaching on the importance of prayer, God gave me a vision rooted in this scripture, reminding us that there is power when believers come together to seek the Lord. Just as the people in Zechariah’s time were stirred to pray and seek God, I believe the same call is being revived today. Join us as we explore how God is reigniting this fire for prayer across the body of Christ, and learn why now, more than ever, we must come together in prayer. Don’t miss this timely word that can transform your prayer life and spark a movement of united faith!

0:00 You pray it and he can answer it. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it. Goes into the hearts of the people, doesn't return void, it produces results. Communicate to me. I expect that. And you're so right. There's times when people say, well, what was said in prayer, it's like out of tongues comes English. So I will pray with my understanding and I will pray with my spirit. And I can't even begin to tell unless I write it down. And I don't know about everybody else.

0:41 I'm not that gifted. I can't write and speak in the spirit at the same time. It just doesn't work. So I've got to take just a moment and reflect on it. And it'll come out in English differently. It's not pre-planned. It's praying out of that spiritual resource. And it takes time. There's been times where I've had to be speaking in the spirit for 30, 45 minutes an hour before things start to shift and change. Before I finally get my brain to shut up and begin to really focus on what Father is speaking, either to me or about different situations, I had to get myself out of the way. And sometimes it just takes that amount of time before that'll happen.

1:23 But that's really good. Spontaneous English. Can we say it that way? It just comes out by the spirit. It's different. It's different. It's not pre-planned. Well, like the Bible says, he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God. So when you're speaking in tongues, you're speaking unto God, your spirit by the Holy Spirit within you. And out of your spirit comes that word. You form the words when you pray in tongues. You form that English word. And it's a clue into the mystery of what you were praying. So the other thing I wanted to share is that in leading corporate prayer, I also learned that if you get a burden inside, that burden of intercession that you sometimes, sometimes get, I've learned you got to teach people to still stop praying.

2:18 And they'll look at me like, what is this? And I'll say to them, do you feel that on the inside? And they'll be like, yes. And I'll say, well, that's a burden from the Holy Spirit. It's a prayer burden. Let's pray that out. Kind of like a mother just leading their children. And that's really what people need right now. They need to learn, Lord, teach us to pray. Precept an example. Very good. Very, very, very good. Pastor Carolyn, are you on here? Yes, I am.

2:58 I want to remind you that you have two minutes, because I know you go, you get on a roll. But I know. Tracy, we're prayer. This is such an honor to hear people excited about the gathering and the gathering for prayer. Apostle Gary and Apostle Tracy is teaching us how to stir ourselves up before we gather in prayer. And that, to me, means get rid of all of the soul. Get rid of it and get your mind clear. Get your mind set and the focus upon the Lord and what He wants. And as we gather, then we gather that praying, every joint to supply.

3:44 We are one body. I love this. Every joint, that word is going to come into one word and releasing God's word upon the earth and His will upon the earth. And we need the corporate body to unite together in what? In Him and in His will and in the releasing. I love this. I pray this. I want to learn more. I want to walk in it. And I'm so thankful I'm where Apostle Gary and Apostle Tracy is teaching me how to do that. And I think the unction will come when God wants us to have unction in English. Power of the speaking in His language and the blessed prayer.

4:27 Thank you. Amen. Amen. It's such a blessing when you have a pastor in your midst that prays. And oh, my goodness, that woman prays. We're thankful for her. Lord Jesus. Apostle Cal. Sometimes when you're praying in tongues, it says first we pray in the spirit name. We sing in the spirit name. We sing with an understanding and pray. What happens while you're praying in tongues, God gives you intellect, an opportunity to join the meeting with purpose.

5:08 He gives purpose to your prayer by interpreting the tongues. And the words you say after that are basically the interpretation of the tongues that you were speaking. Many people don't know that. And so when they begin to articulate it in the semantic in which they're familiar with, it's actually what God is saying to them or saying for them to speak out representing the time they spend in tongues. Or it's just an opportunity to engage your soul with that because that message is for your soul to come in alignment with your spirit. And so sometimes the whole time you're speaking in tongues, God's realigning your spirit with your soul so that both of you can walk together in the spirit and not have that soul man dragging you and your soul ambitions and your hesitation to be used by God.

6:01 Your soul is saying, well, you already prayed too much. You already spent enough time praying. You don't need to go to another meeting. You already go into two meetings already. And that soul can become a drag or a weight against the journey in the spirit. And so while you're praying in tongues, the Spirit of God is lifting you up and praying for that particular thing that's a hindrance for you. He's praying that you get victory over that thing. So it's not just us praying in tongues. While we're praying in tongues, the Holy Spirit is ministering to the things he sees that hinder us from being a vessel used by him. I love the Holy Ghost because of that. I'm just praying away. And while I'm praying, he's fixing my broken parts and putting this stuff back together and making me whole again, just working on me while I'm working on his project.

6:50 He's working on his project, which is me working in me to willing to do of his good pleasure. So that's speaking in tongues is essential, Prophet Margie. The church has forgotten that. And now they speak more Hebrew and more Greek than they do in tongues. I didn't say that, did I? Oh, Lord. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Oh, no. You just did it. And the mute was gone. Pastor Cal, I'm glad you brought that up because I really believe in 1 Corinthians 12, where it shows that what God has said in the church. And one of the things it says, tongues and interpretation.

7:31 And I know we believe someone could speak in tongues. Somebody could come up and get the interpretation. But I believe that has more to do with prayer. Because if you notice in that whole passage of scriptures it doesn't talk about prayer because that is the prayer. The tongues and the interpretation where we pray by the Spirit. And then we interpret what the Spirit is saying to us in prayer, hallelujah, amen. And I really believe that is set in the church. And if that's set in the church as all the other guests we focus on. But we don't focus on tongues and interpretation. And we need to focus on tongues and interpretation because I believe that's the prayer of us praying in the Spirit. And then praying forth in English, hallelujah, what the Spirit is saying to the church.

8:20 Prophet Margie, do you, oh, I'm sorry. Did you want to say something? Oh, OK. Prophet Margie, do you want to add to that anything or say anything there? I just think I agree. Tongues and interpretation can operate in your prayer life for sure. Yes. I've had it happen. I've gotten words of knowledge, words of wisdom by interpreting my tongues. Yeah. When it comes to Spirit, wills. You can't, as he wills. I don't know which one was first. Was it Joel or Eric?

9:00 I don't remember. I think it was Eric. Eric? Eric. Both of them are handsome, so I don't know which one to go. What you're going to do? I don't know. Oh, man. Full question here. Margie, you've given me a lot to think about. But I wanted to get your thoughts, Apostle Cal, Eddie, whomever wants to speak on the following. So Margie, just to catch you up, I live in Rexburg, Idaho. 40,000 people live here. Most are part of the Mormon Church.

9:41 And there's about 100 Protestants that make up two small local churches. The one I have been attending claims to be a continuationist church. Yet none of it is ever talked about, thought, practice, demonstrated in any way. And the prayer events, what few prayer events that we had a year and a half ago when I first arrived in Rexburg are now gone. So there's your typical traditional type prayers, Lord, heal so and so, if it's your will, et cetera, et cetera.

10:27 They're offered in the Sunday assembly. Now, aside from me praying in the Spirit and me praying for the leaders, because I know, Apostle Cal, you were talking about the leaders earlier and setting an example. Would you even attempt to lovingly address the lack of prayer with the leaders? And if so, how, given what I've just said? Any thoughts on that? Yeah, I do, because what's happened, Eddie mentioned it already. We've gotten out of the order. Had we had fathers, had we had the order set, the first prerequisite for the leaders is to be in prayer.

11:12 And so we would have marshaled everybody in. And then we interview and we always say, how you doing? We go before the Lord. And I tell my leaders if they're saying, how am I doing, Father? Am I doing OK? Am I being what you called me to do here in this church? And so we do assessments. We can't measure the people unless we've been measured. So we measure ourselves. We judge ourselves to make sure that I don't cheat the people by being inadequate or not equipped to equip them. If I haven't been with God, how can I lead you somewhere I've never been? So it's imperative that the system go back to the Ascension Gift Ministry so we can get the fathers back in place so they can, because even some of the five-fold ministry are our sons.

11:57 It's just not the saints. It's leaders too have to be sons too. And we need, amen. And I had a father, but he didn't know what to do with me. He called me these spiritual gifts, but he never taught me one thing about it. He said, man, you a prophet. I said, oh my God. What does that mean, my God? And I had to go out and find out. I found out the hard way after getting kicked out several organizations. I found out what it meant. Amen. And so but that, but I learned good. And so now I know, but the issue is the systems call for the men of God to be busy.

12:39 The systems call for the men of God to be a people that cut your grass, always there, do all the hospital business, don't have anybody that they've developed to do that for them. They still waiting at the widow's tables, and they're still doing all this stuff that they're supposed to be set apart from to do the word and prayer. See, that's the first prerequisites of apostolic leadership, word and prayer. Every leader, word and prayer. Study, word, prayer. But it's not. It's go help the saints. Go visit the hospital. Go do this. Go do that. Then I'm too tired for the word and to pray. And I think that's what's happened to us.

13:21 And I think God is trying to bring back his governmental system. And I think that will cause the pastors to have a revival and cause the leaders to have revival back to prayer. Amen. And I try to be an example. In my house, I don't miss any prayer meetings. I don't miss any meetings. If we're having a meeting, I'm there. Nobody has to come tell me how the meeting went. I'm in the meeting. Especially prayer meeting. I'm going to be in the prayer meeting. Amen. And so I think that's what I think we have to. And we have to be patient because it was the system that we adopted that caused the problems that we are facing right now.

14:04 And I think that every city or region that is in that kind of condition, God has somebody in that area on their knees praying. I guarantee you. There is somebody there making intercession for that region. That's right. And the only way that region is going to change is because of prayer. That people's hearts begin to be drawn to prayer. And through the power of prayer, it begins to shift the atmosphere. And it begins to allow a funnel of heaven to begin to be poured out in that territory, in that region again. And it causes people to come back to order, come back to alignment, and most of all, come back under the influence of the Holy Spirit instead of under the influence of legalism and religion and intellectualism and philosophies and all the stuff that happens in churches.

14:54 But it always starts with prayer. Somebody's praying. Like they used to always tell me somebody was praying for Eddie because Eddie would have never changed if somebody wasn't praying for him. And somebody was praying for me. And I believe God's going to raise up people in this hour just to be praying. And some of these people that have prayed for our cities and regions will never even know about them. We'll never even know about them. But they're praying right now. And they're interceding. Hallelujah. And through that prayer, God's going to raise up a shift, a change, and cause people to come back to God where they have lost their direction for God.

15:36 Amen. So no place is hopeless. Can I make a statement about something Margie said? She said, I believe that the children are going to have to come to prayer too. Now, that's what I believe with all my heart. Well, can you imagine your children's prevailing? Oh. Oh, can you imagine they get a burden for their mother and their father? Oh, man. Oh, my good Margie, when you said that, I know I'm not pregnant. But my baby did leave. My God. I mean, goodness gracious. Anyway, let me be quiet.

16:17 Thank you. Sorry, Joe. I didn't mean to buddy him. Oh, no. It's all one, right? Hey, Joe. So when we go back to the beginning of what you said of people not wanting to come to prayer, one of the things that I've been interceding for is too many people have lost hope in prayer because they've prayed for things. And they didn't get their prayers answered. So they think that this work, this soulish thing that they've done in the past means that it will never work.

16:58 And we have to break through that area of the cares of this life and pray not for things, right? Because those things will just be added unto you. But that revelation has not hit even anybody on this screen. We're still being developed into that area. We're talking on a level right now that there's many on the screen right now that don't have a clue what's being talked about because they've been caught up in the hopelessness of their prayers not being answered. So I think we've got to minister to that not only in prayer, but also in teaching and encouragement, showing them how to pray as a kingdom prays, not as they have been taught through their soulishness and religion.

17:59 Does that make sense? OK. Right. Would you care to respond to that, Margie? I mean, I agree. You have to teach people. The Bible says, man ought to always pray, not faint. Plus, people need to understand that there's different kinds of prayer. And there's different rules that govern different kinds of prayer. If you're believing God for a car, you're not going to say, Lord, if it be your will, I need a car. You're going to pray for a thank you. You said that you would supply all my needs according to your riches and glory.

18:40 And you stand in faith. You believe you receive it. And then after you pray the prayer once, you just thank him for it and worship him. But people just think they're praying wrong and they don't know it. And it's gently teaching them how to pray. Amen. Amen. Very good, very good. Anybody else? We're getting down to the end here. Anybody else? See your hand if you got it. Maybe just a comment. Maybe something said here has provoked a comment in you. Or maybe you have a question that you'd like to see answered or hear answered. Anybody at all?

19:21 Waiting, waiting. Nobody? OK, we're going to go through our comments and what we need to be saying here at the end of the Zoom. And then, Prophet Margie, when we get done, if you don't mind, please, do you mind praying, praying us out by praying for the West Coast, Southwest, and for the nation in general, but specifically for the West Coast and Southwest, and for everybody here, just offer some intercession over that as we close out.

20:05 Would you mind doing that in just a bit? Sure. OK. So right now, there's a lot of things that is on our plate. And we're going to go ahead and bring those out. OK. He does so well at it. I just went, let's go. Listen, we got the convergence coming up here very soon in Louisiana. And we're really excited about it. Oh my gosh, that's our first time in being able to be there, fellowship, and be with people, break bread. It's just a tremendous time to be together. If you have not gotten your hotel reservations, please do so.

20:48 I believe there's still room available. Is that correct, Apostle Eddie? No, it's already the cutoff date for the hotel. But they still have rooms there. You would just have to call and negotiate yourself. OK. OK. So there is that. And get your plane tickets. And it's never too late. Come on, you can do it. It's a matter of hunger. It's like prayer. It's a matter of hunger. Also, listen, Love and Unity is an amazing place for prayer. I saw someone come on earlier asking for prayer. This is a praying people. So it's also a place that is really, really. And I mean this. People say these things.

21:29 And we always pray it's true. You just do by faith. But I'm telling you, Tracy and I have found Love and Unity Movement to be a faithful place, a good place, a rich place to invest financially. Financial. You're going to see something come out of this that is different. Talking about asking prophet Margie if she has seen any changes in the way that we pray as opposed to before. There's a lot of shifting taking place and a lot of things. Prayer being certainly one of them. But finances. We're approaching all of us finances differently.

22:09 Look for good ground, not just any ground. Look for good ground. And we're telling you, Love and Unity is really for real. We speak from personal experience. It's good ground. You can give to Zelle or through Cash App or PayPal. You can also email at loveunity50 at gmail.com. That's also, I believe, the same email address. If you want to get a hold of Apostle Eddie for Kingdom First Television Network, that's an emerging network that is just wild. I mean, it's incredible what's happening here. It's being pioneered in a significant and powerful way.

22:50 It's a kingdom message. It's the kingdom message. So if you believe that Father has spoken to you with a kingdom message to get on television and become a broadcaster, get a hold of Apostle Eddie, and let him know, that can be taken care of easily. I think presently, they're right up around a monthly average of about 7 million people. I think by the end of the year, they're looking towards 10 million or more. Hallelujah, right? So it's very, very good. It's an excellent opportunity to be able to present whatever message that you believe Father has placed on your heart.

23:34 Also, quickly, before we turn it over to Prophet Margie, there is an outreach. This is amazing. Nationally, we're doing very well in expanding, but this is internationally. They're moving into Canada and the Philippines. And presently, the Philippines' outreach is needing some financial support. If you can help there, I think the budget's running right around $4,000. You've got to be kidding. That's not that much. That's really easy to obtain. So if you feel led by a Holy Spirit to give into that, please do so. And again, yes? Let me say a little bit on that. Right now, in the Philippines, there's a good move going on.

24:18 There's a gathering of ministers that are pulling together. They want love and unity to really come into the Philippines and begin to establish the same thing we've established here in America. And we have a few of our people from love and unity. Andrew's going to lead it. They're going to go in there, meet with these individuals, hold some meetings, and prepare the ground for us to go in there and to implement the whole mission, the whole strategy of love and unity into the Philippines. So this is an opportunity to really flourish in the Philippines. So we're asking for help financially to cover the costs. It's going to cost us about $4,000 to go in there and do this, hallelujah.

25:03 But this is part of mission giving. Now, we used to all give admissions. I didn't even know where the money was going most of the time. But this is a mission that's going to help establish the kingdom of God in the Philippines. You'd be surprised they don't have any understanding of kingdom over there. And we're taking the gospel of the kingdom to the Philippines, hallelujah, and building proper church pattern and taking in there the fivefold and taking in there the ecclesia, teaching them on their sonship identity. So this needs to happen in the Philippines. We ask you to pray and ask God what he wants you to do. If you're going to send in an offering on one of our ways of giving, just put on there for the Philippines, please, so we can know that money goes directed to the mission work that we're doing right now in the Philippines.

25:57 Thank you very much, hallelujah. Thank you. Thank you, Apostle Eddie. Again, this is expanding very rapidly. It's all good ground. So by all means, please, and take it for the Philippines, indeed. Prophet Margie, would you like to take us out in prayer? I know that's probably hard, but. Thank you. Father God, we just come before the throne of grace, and we come on the behalf of the West Coast of the United States and the Southwest Coast of the United States. Father, we just pray in Jesus' name that among the leaders that reside there, that there would be a revelation of who you are, a revelation of your word, a revelation of the power of God and the Holy Spirit.

26:47 We pray, Father God, that you would awaken the believers that are there with your presence, with your power, in Jesus' name. We pray, Father God, that you would have your way amongst the leadership. We pray for boldness of speech. We pray for open doors. We pray, Father God, that you would provide and supply every need that they have according to your riches and glory. And we just speak of a blessing on the West Coast and the Southwest. We just speak a blessing. And we ask that you would open up the windows of heaven and pour out your spirit on this region in Jesus' name.

27:30 Amen. Amen, amen, amen. Thank you, prophet Margie, for sharing such a powerful word. Our blessing, everybody's blessings to serve. OK, everybody. Have an incredibly rich, I almost said weekend, but we're doing these on Mondays now. So have an incredibly rich week, all week. Pray. Pray like your life depended on it because it does. Pray, pray, pray. We love you all so very much. Have a blessed week. Love you all. God bless you all. Thank you, Margie. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye, everybody.

28:11 Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast. It has been such a joy sharing this time with you. For more inspiration and resources on today's topic, please visit our website at margieflaron.org. Thank you.
