John 3:17, The Message Bible Translation “God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.”

The Prayer Storm is a Movement. A team of thousands committed to praying for professional athletes, entertainers and world leaders, that they would become great influencers for the Kingdom of God. As stated in the Scripture above, we, like Jesus Christ do not come pointing an accusing finger, The Prayer Storm has come to help and uplift.

For the next couple of weeks, The Prayer Storm is moving over the heads of T.I. and Ryan Seacrest.

As we focus on the stated prayer points, we believe a great awakening can occur in the lives of many!

We welcome your feedback, insights and burdens for others we need to cover. The Prayer Storm is rising!!!

T.I.

The world calls him T.I......

BUT, His family and close friends know him as Clifford Joseph Harris Jr.

His publicist has built T.I. as a brand in the marketplace......

BUT, behind the brand is a man, a husband and a father of 6 children.

As a Grammy-award winner, reality show host and world renowned rapper, T.I.’s career almost completely ended when he recently faced up to 20 years in prison for illegally possessing machine guns and silencers. However, by performing community service as a part of his plea agreement, his sentence was reduced to a year and a day.

God is at work in this young man’s life! Join us in praying the following for Clifford J. Harris, Jr. (T.I.):

PRAYER FOCUS!

(Matthew 18:19) Again I say to you that if two of you shall agree on earth as regarding anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in Heaven.

That T.I would have a genuine encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ while serving his sentence.
That he would surrender his gifts and talents to the Lordship of Christ.
That he would be voice for good in the Kingdom of God.
That he would raise his children in righteousness according to the word of God.
That he would 100% recognize the goodness of God that has allowed him to meet his goals.
That he would be protected from all false religions and continued idol worship. Even self worship.
Let’s agree that true followers of Christ would surround him to display the Lord’s love and power before his very eyes.

Confession: Father, we thank You for sparing the life of Clifford J. Harris, Jr. (T.I.). We ask You in Jesus name to speak to him out of Your mercy. We call him and his family before You in the name of the Lord. May he have the strength to walk with You in the face of temptation. May he have the guts to be a servant of the Most High God as the world watches.

We thank You for his life and we appreciate You hearing us. All of us. In Jesus’ mighty name! -Amen

Ryan Seacrest

The host of America’s most popular reality show, FOX Network’s American Idol, Ryan Seacrest is also a son and brother from Dunwoody, Georgia.

Although he has publicly denied rumors of being gay, still the media has coined Seacrest as the poster boy for "metrosexuality." Has American media made Seacrest an “Idol” before this generation? God forbid!

The dilemma is that many individuals in Seacrest’s position see themselves as the standard for the “All American” image. The ambition to be perfect before people, instead of a desire to be holy before God rarely, if ever enters the minds of many media-made idols. Pride and self-worship are at the root of this flawed way of thinking.

His prideful heart was revealed when Ryan Seacrest criticized a young 19 year old American Idol contestant for having Christian values. Seacrest went further by referring to the young contestant as a “boy” rather than a “man” for choosing to abstain from sex until marriage, As those that know God, we understand that Seacrest is without knowledge of the ways of God.

As the Body of Christ, we must not stand idly by and allow this level of deception to keep Seacrest and many like him from looking upward and discovering the saving, loving touch of the Lord Jesus. Let’s pray that the light of truth would illuminate his heart, and that he would be dedicated to making Jesus the only worthy idol of his life forever.

Prophetic Prayer Focus:

Pray that Seacrest would see himself as a sinner in need of a wonderful savior whose arms are open towards him.
Pray that he would have a visitation in the night that would give him a great awakening towards the things of God.
Pray that he would be a voice for God after his conversion.
Pray that he would influence many for good to become genuine followers of Christ because of the radical testimony of his conversion.
Pray that he would have a God encounter with authentic followers of Christ this very week!

Confession: Father, we thank You for touching the mind of Ryan Seacrest. We thank You for releasing the convicting power of the Holy Spirit upon his soul this very day! We pray for the love of God to permeate his heart and that the people around him would speak to him concerning You, even on this very day. We thank You for Your mercy over his life and we thank You for your grace. Lord, deliver this man from himself and may he see Jesus and become a force for good to this generation of youth and young adults. In Jesus’ Name!
