God is calling His people to build lives, families, churches, and communities that are centered in prayer, worship, intimacy with God, and intercession.
A house of prayer is more than a building. It is a people who seek God, welcome His presence, pray His Word, stand in intercession, and partner with His heart for their families, churches, cities, and nations.
Intercessors Arise International provides prayer training, guided prayer resources, and practical encouragement to help believers grow in prayer and build a stronger culture of prayer wherever God has placed them.
✦ Begin with Your Own Life
A house of prayer begins in the heart.
Before prayer becomes a ministry, a meeting, or a movement, it begins with a person who says yes to God. He invites us to draw near, listen to His voice, pray His Word, and make room for His presence in daily life.
You can begin by:
Setting aside regular time with God
Praying Scripture
Growing in intimacy with Jesus
Worshiping in your home
Asking God to teach you to pray
Praying faithfully for those around you
✦ Build Prayer in Your Home
Your home can become a place where prayer is welcomed and practiced.
You do not need to begin with something complicated. Start with simple, faithful prayer. Pray with your spouse, children, family members, or a friend. Invite God’s presence into your home and ask Him to strengthen your family in faith, love, unity, and spiritual growth.
Simple ways to begin:
Pray before meals
Pray one Scripture together
Have a short weekly family prayer time
Pray blessing over your children
Worship together in your home
Pray for neighbors, schools, and your community
✦ Strengthen Prayer in Your Church
Churches become stronger when prayer becomes central.
Intercessors Arise International encourages churches, leaders, and prayer teams to cultivate a deeper life of prayer, worship, intercession, and spiritual readiness.
Prayer can strengthen:
Pastors and leaders
Church prayer meetings
Small groups
Worship teams
Intercessory prayer teams
Outreach and missions
Revival and awakening prayer
Unity in the Body of Christ
✦ Encourage Prayer Groups and Prayer Rooms
Prayer groups, prayer rooms, and worship-based prayer gatherings can help believers grow together in intercession.
Whether you are gathering with two or three people or helping build a more regular prayer expression, God can use simple, faithful prayer to strengthen many lives.
Begin with:
A clear prayer focus
A Scripture passage
A time of worship
Simple prayer prompts
Space to listen to God
Prayer for people, churches, cities, and nations
Encouragement for everyone to participate
✦ Pray for Your City and Nation
God cares about cities, communities, regions, and nations.
As you build a culture of prayer, ask God to give you His heart for the place where you live. Pray for your city, local churches, leaders, schools, families, ministries, and those who do not yet know Jesus.
You can also pray for nations, unreached people groups, missionaries, persecuted believers, and global spiritual awakening.
✦ Grow Through Prayer Training
Many believers want to pray, but they need encouragement, guidance, and practical training.
The Intercessors Arise International School of Prayer was created to help believers grow in intimacy with God, breakthrough prayer, intercession, revival prayer, worship-based prayer, watchman prayer, and prayer for the nations.
These resources can help you grow personally and equip others to pray.
✦ Build Step by Step
You do not have to build everything at once.
Start small. Pray faithfully. Invite others. Use Scripture. Worship. Ask God for His direction. Let Him grow the prayer burden over time.
A house of prayer can begin with:
One person seeking God
A family praying together
A small group gathering weekly
A church prayer meeting
A prayer room
A citywide prayer initiative
A regional burden for the nations
God can take simple obedience and grow it into a lasting culture of prayer.
