Paul was a praying man. In many of his letters,
he would shift into prayer from teaching.
"Pray without ceasing," he wrote. Here is
insight into prayer for fathers and leaders and
what they father out of the heart of The
Father.
Skip to slide 31 to just pray the prayer ……….
This lesson will take you through an organized prayer for
fathers/leaders while helping you visualize the vision of the
Center 4 Father/Leader. After going through the first time you
can come back and just skip to the slides for prayer.

The Heart of The Father
Fathering is at the deepest heart of God. Jesus taught us
to pray, "Our Father." Jesus said, "..., if you have seen
Me, you have seen the Father." John the Baptist was
to be one in the Spirit of Elijah to turn the heart of the
fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to
the fathers. This was the opening of the new
covenant. 400 years earlier, Malachi closed the old
covenant. His last words told us the spirit of Elijah
must come to turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children and the hearts of the children to the fathers
for cursing to leave the land.

This word, translated fathers or families in the
letter to the Ephesians, literally means
"fathered groups." Our prayer and activity is
for the fathers and leaders, the ones who
bring life to and protect over and build.

Father, it impresses me that you are
the Father from which all families get
their name and call to greatness.

The Reason
Ephesians 3:14-21 According to this very reason
and cause for our calling, I submit my entire
self by bowing at the knee to the eternal
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Creator and
Sustainer of the spiritual and physical universe
of whom all fatherhood expressed in groups
and families and cultures in the heavens and
on earth is named and identified,

STRENGTH TO ENDURE
that He would grant all of our men,
families, cultures, and like-hearted
groups that expose the variety of His
nature divinely in a normal world
• Every father/leader reaches points of weakness and loss of
strength to go forward. At these moments they need boost
and endurance to stay faithful to the task ahead and the
responsibilities entrusted.

life-filling with nothing holding back,

Spirit in the most inward parts,

FAITH TO GAIN
that the Anointed One may take up permanent
residence and continually dwell in our hearts
by faith;
Each family or group or business or community needs resources that
have to be brought into existence. A father/leader must see into the
vastness of need and obtain by faith those resources. He/she must
see ahead of the need and believe and lead.

Out of the Abundance….
Proverbial Wisdoms From Solomon
• A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.
• The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear
of the wise seeks knowledge
• Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, But a man of
understanding will draw it out.
• Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD
weighs the hearts.
• Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it
spring the issues of life.

LOVE TO MOTIVATE
• that all of us being rooted deeply and broadly
and set on an extensively firm foundation for
our temples in love,
• may be capable of fully attaining and grasping
mentally with all the saints, all expressions of
His body, His love
Love must be the prime motivator. Anything else will lead in the
wrong direction. Love is huge. Love will keep us moving when all
other motivations are gone. Love will endure, bear up, hope, believe
and sustain the right direction.

LOVE TO MOTIVATE
• may be capable of fully attaining and grasping
mentally what is the breadth, and length and
depth and height and every possible
dimension of His love
• and to know in experience and real living
knowledge useful for daily situations, the love
of the Anointed One, which takes excelling
knowledge beyond the norm

Why Do We Do This?
•The United States leads the world in
fatherlessness with over 40% of our children going
to bed without a father present.
•Fatherlessness is not just physical. It is
emotional, social, relational, and spiritual.
•The active presence of a supportive father
brings home and community health. Studies
prove that children with this advantage perform
better in education, become more caring
people, and avoid destructive behaviors.

Empowered Living
Why Do We Do This?
•Our fatherlessness is not just fathers. This
situation is reflective of the health of our
leadership in community, congregation, and
home.
•Good leaders and good fathers are
nurturing, committed, caring, alert, aware,
involved, protective providers.
•Good leaders and good fathers are
supported and covered in caring community.

PRESENCE TO ENERGIZE
that we might be filled to overflowing with all
the fullness of God.
Enthusiasm is a Greek compound word. En mean inside. Theos
means God. God Inside Us. Energy that comes from God inside us
bubbles up under all need. When a father/leader is tired he/she
makes mistakes that can destroy futures. Energy keeps action on
behalf of those being led.

PRESENCE TO ENERGIZE
Now, unto Him that is able and positioned to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or think according to that
self-same power that works in us and charges us up with
energy from His involvement even like the energy that
raised the Anointed One from the dead, this power that is
both actively and effectively working in us, unto Him be
glory in the called out saints of every fatherhood, family,
group, and culture throughout all ages and generations
now and continuing. AMEN

We Believe
By reaching the hearts of leaders
through effective scriptural based
wisdoms and genuine care and
concern in Christ, the decisions they
make move closer and closer to God’s
ultimate heart.
