First and foremost, Immanuel Prayer\u2026 is prayer. It\u2019s that simple. That means it\u2019s not primarily counseling ministry, deliverance ministry, or prophetic ministry.<\/p>\n
The primary goal in an Immanuel Prayer session is to connect with God and enjoy being with Him. This intimate connection with God often leads to healing, counsel, and deliverance, which are secondary benefits to being with God in His presence. Connecting with Him in a tangible way comes before anything else. Intimacy with Jesus is the goal.<\/p>\n
Immanuel Prayer is developed on the reliability of God\u2019s nature as Immanuel, which in Hebrew means \u201cGod with us\u201d (Isaiah 7:14<\/a>). By His very character, He is always everywhere, personally present. That means God was with us before we were Christians and even during our worst moments. It means that God is with us now, wherever we are, and will always be with us.<\/p>\n So the goal in Immanuel Prayer is to help people connect personally \u2014 not just theoretically \u2014 with the God who is present in an interactive way. And ultimately, He leads the prayer time with what is important to Him. God Immanuel is always present. He is presently there to guide, direct, attune, encourage, correct, heal and deliver. He is also there to cascade out His love and reveal Himself to us<\/p>\n .
