…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. James 5:16b

1

Do you want a more intimate relationship with God to advance His kingdom? Do you want to overcome the fear of praying publicly with others?

Do you want to clearly hear God’s voice, so your prayers hit the bullseye? Do you desire to get more results with prayer?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Eagles International Intercessory Prayer Institute (EIIPI) is for you. Instructed by Pastor Karen Gardner, EIIPI is a global, online course with two tracks – Year 1 and Year 2, designed to educate, equip and activate effective intercessors in the scriptural foundation and art of prayer. You will learn to hear God’s voice, so you hit the bull’s eye when you pray.

• Healing and deliverance in your own heart that enables you to hear God more clearly • Increased prayer accuracy because you understand the principles of prayer in the Bible • Increased confidence  when  you  pray  due  to  a  revelation  of  God’s  love  for  you • A passionate desire to pray because the compassion of God is quickened in your heart

This course will infuse you with knowledge about the power of prayer and with a fresh anointing to pray for others. As you remain focused, diligent and faithful, you will emerge a more confident, committed intercessor for the Lord. Please note a total of 50 students will be accepted in EIIPI Year 1 and EIIPI Year 2, so register today to reserve your spot. Register online at www.eaglesprayer.com until 11/10/15. EIIPI Year 1 will focus on all types of prayer, keys to prayer, secrets of prayer, the authority of the believer and weapons of spiritual warfare to help you hit the bullseye with prayer. You will receive Pastor Karen Gardner’s “Pray Now” Curriculum, including Pray Now: A Guide To A Richer Prayer Life hard copy and eBook and two MP3’s. You will also receive a second prayer book. In addition, each student will receive a Prayer Kit, consisting of a prayer shawl, anointing oil and prayer journal. International students will be responsible for additional shipping costs for curriculum.

• The prayer shawl or tallit can be worn to create a sense of personal space during prayer. The name comes from two Hebrew words: TAL meaning tent and ITH meaning little. It means “little tent”. Wrapping yourself in a tallit, or covering your head with it sharpens your prayer focus. The tallit represents your prayer closet, according to Matthew 6:6, “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

• The anointing oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit. Biblically, it is used for consecration, prayer, healing & worship. “Anoint” means to smear with oil. To be “anointed” is to be made sacred (consecrated); to be set apart and dedicated to serve God; to be endowed with enabling gifts and grace; to be divinely designated, inaugurated, or chosen for some purpose.

Monthly Teleconferences & Assignments Upon acceptance into EIIPI, you will receive the access code to the online learning portal to submit monthly assignments, prayer requests, receive updates and chat with your instructor and peers. EIIPI Year 1 We will meet the second Thursday of each month at 8:30pm CST beginning 11/12/15. EIIPI Year 2 We will meet the third Thursday of each month at 8:30pm CST beginning 11/19/15. Serving in humility and soaring in excellence is our motto for EIIPI. To promote excellence, you will receive a sample written assignment, including a cover sheet to show you how to organize and submit your assignments. You may use the sample template or create your own. Make sure your assignments are spell-checked, grammatically correct and professional. Have someone edit your papers for you if writing is not your strength. You must also maintain a prayer journal for this course to capture prophecies, dreams, visions, prayers, instructions and revelations from the Lord. Monthly Teleconferences, Monthly Assignments, Prayer Force & Prayer Partners Participation on the monthly teleconferences is very important. Why? You learn how to pray effectively when you pray with others. Also the teleconferences are the main way you receive interactive biblical instruction, impartation, encouragement, activation and fellowship. Again, participating on teleconferences is required to earn your certificate of completion. In order to earn your certificate of completion for EIIPI Year 1 or Year 2, you must meet or exceed the following requirements:

1) Attend  and  participate  in  9  of  11  monthly  teleconferences.  If  you  cannot  attend  a  scheduled  teleconference,  it  is  your  responsibility  to  listen  to  the  replay  and  submit  a  brief  summary  to  [email protected]  within  one  week.    

2) Submit  monthly  assignments  on  time.    

Please turn all assignments in on time. If your assignment is late, you will receive one grade lower. For example, an “A” will become a “B”. You have two weeks to turn in a late assignment. 3) Participate in 70% of Prayer Force midnight watches. This is a prayer watch that takes place midnight each Wednesday in your respective time zone. It is set at midnight, so you learn how to command the day and to cancel the prayers of witches and warlocks. Prayer Force will teach you to discipline yourself to watch and pray like Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion. You will pray together with a rotating prayer leader. Everyone will get a chance to prepare and lead a prayer watch. It’s mandatory for each prayer captain to man his or her watch since you’re responsible for watching over God’s people at the scheduled time, collecting and organizing prayer requests and leading the call. You will be given instructions to record the prayer watch. If you cannot man your watch, it’s your responsibility to find a team member to cover for you. Prayer requests will be posted in Edmodo, the online learning portal. Unless your work schedule or an emergency prohibits you, each student is expected to be on the call with your team. You’ll receive a Prayer Force calendar. If Prayer Force times conflict with your work schedule, let Pastor Karen Gardner know, so that she can find an alternate time for you to pray. Students must accomplish the following to earn their certificate of completion. Pastor Karen Gardner will do spot checks on Prayer Force line to assess your prayer style. Fear not! EIIPI is a safe place to learn how to pray more effectively.

Prayer Force is important because you get real world experience preparing and leading a prayer watch via phone. You also learn how to pray from the more seasoned intercessors.

4) Prayer Partners – You will be assigned prayer partners on a rotational basis throughout the course to pray together at least twice a month. You will determine the schedule that works best for you and your prayer partner. Being a prayer partner is not about you as much as it is about meeting the needs of the other person. While email is fine for communicating facts, it’s not as effective as face-to-face, the phone, Google Hangout or SKYPE or when it comes to praying together. Be creative in meeting with your prayer partner. Honor them by treating them as you would like to be treated when you set a prayer time. Praying with a partner releases agreement and unity in Holy Spirit, compelling the ministering spirits to go to work on delivering your request. One can chase a 1,000, but two can chase 10,000. 5) Attend a Prophetic Intercessory Prayer Conference with an emphasis on prayer and intercession. Write a 1,000-word paper about what you learned and how it has impacted your prayer life. Final Exam – Year 1 Your final exam will consist of an oral and written exam, and an on-site meeting at the Gathering of Eagles International Worship Summit.

1. The oral prayer exam will be given on the last teleconference call in September. I will ask you to pray a specific type of prayer, which will be covered during the course.

2. The written exam will be emailed to you after oral final exam. You will

receive a study packet to prepare for the written exam if you have turned in all assignments. If you study the packet, you will pass the test. The final exam will be posted in the learning portal or emailed to you.

Final Project – Year 2 You will be given a final project that will be due in September.

Teleconference Schedule EIIPI Year 1 will meet the 2nd Thursday of each month at 8:30pm CST. EIIPI Year 2 will meet the 3rd Thursday of each month at 8:30pm CST.

Breaking Curses, Releasing Blessings Encourage Yourself in the Lord You Shall Decree A Thing Be Made Whole Destroying the Roots of Sickness & Disease Worship Intercession Power of Thanksgiving, Praise & Worship Watch of the Lord Spiritual Mapping: Take Your Territory Prayer Secrets Writing a Family Prayer eBook *Curriculum subject to change Final Word Can your prayers of intercession snatch a soul from hell or save a nation? Yes. And learning the power of prayer is an excellent reason to take this course. God is looking for faithful intercessors to stand in the gap for His people, so that He can extend His arm of mercy and nullify the strategies of the enemy. God cannot release answers from heaven on earth until His intercessors open up their mouths and decree a thing using their God-ordained spiritual authority and dominion. Would you like to write history with God through prayer in these end-times? Then join me on this exciting prayer journey. Once you enroll in the course, distractions will come to discourage you from finishing strong. But don’t be dismayed and fear not, for the Lord your God is with you. What He has begun in you, He will complete as long as you walk by faith. You will emerge from this course as a bold intercessor that God can count on to hit the bull’s eye when you pray because you hear His voice and you have His heart for people.
