Hello Vineyard Church,
We wanted to inform everyone that starting this Monday July 6th at 7pm, we will begin to intercede for The 7 Mountains of Influence. I believe some of us feel a natural call to intercede for at least one of these areas of influence. I would encourage you to read through the prayer points below and see of you feel a strong desire to lift up at lease one of these areas on Monday nights.
To intercede or intercession is the act of praying to God on behalf of some (one, situation), in a difficult position by pleading or petitioning. Therefore, as intercessors, we are coming to God and praying for The 7 Mountains to be influenced by Godly people, so that His laws would govern the influence of the mountains for our society.
To join us on Zoom send an email request to the-vineyard@thevineyardfw.org
