Suggestions and Tips for your preparation
1. Make sure there is nothing standing in the way for the anointing to flow, whether it be among the team members and their spouses, their disciples and yourself. This will give them the authority needed for them to have the anointing required.
2. Make a final account of who is ministering or helping and do not allow any one to come to minister just because you need one more person and be sure everyone was able to attend the incubation; this is very important. It is better to be short a person than to bring some one who is not ready.
3. Once the preparation has been done the best way possible, loosen the team to minister the best way they know how and tell them not to worry about making mistakes or about the results. It is good that they are aware of the seriousness and importance of the need and the desired results; but now it is time to concentrate on doing it and not to worry about results.
As you do the ministering freely and allow the anointing to come the results will follow, this will be The Holy Spirit’s responsibility. This is crucial specially during the time the encounter is taking place, if the team does not see apparent results they might loose heart and start to get impatience and up tight; Thus frustrating themselves and then minister in the flesh not in the Spirit.
4. Make sure the team is in the Spirit at all times and instruct them that when they are not imparting they are still part of the team and thus they should:
a) Be intrinsically involved, watching like eagles to see to it “that no foul bird” may come and steal the word and the work of the Holy Spirit that is being impart during that time.
b) Support one another in every way and at all times minister together as a team and do not allow the enemy to come between you and distract the team.
Please be aware the enemy will come to try to disrupt the encounter and it will not be by the attendees but by trying to come through the team and through false finding and accusations, so please be aware and do not allow the enemy to have his way.
Make it clear to the team that there will be no discussion of any failure at the encounter and that concerns of that kind if any, will be addressed after. Give the team your full support and express to them that you will not second-guess them, but that they are responsible before God for what they impart as coming from Him.
5. It is important that every team member is in total submission to authority or the enemy will find out and will use it against the entire team.
6. The beginning session will set the tone for the rest of the encounter, so it is important that you arrest the will of the people, get the people’ permission to minister to them and their commitment to the encounter, stressing the benefits if they do and then making it clear as to who is in charge there, The Holy Spirit and His representatives there, meaning the team. Ask the people what goal they have for the encounter and if they do not have one give them one.
7. Give the people a real choice that if any one wants to leave let them go, this in turn will give the team the authority to go into the people’s life and the enemy’s territory and take back the souls of the people attending. Nevertheless do not make that offer to generous or open.
8. Very important. Communicate to the encounter attendees all of you are their friends not just their leaders and that you are there to really help them in any possible way, It does not mean in terms of getting them more comfortable but in terms of looking out for them and being there for them.
Last but not least, go for it; you will have good successes because God is with you, this is your time in God’s timing.

I. INCUBATION
Suggestions for a better breakdown and use of time during preparation:
1. THE PRIVILEGE OF THE CALLING.
The coordinator must share prophetic words for the encounter to the team of guides.
Coordinate fasting and prayer to include all the team members.
“Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your
country, From your family And from your father’s
house, To a land that I will show you. I will make
you a great nation; I will bless you And make
your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will
bless those who bless you, And I will curse him
who curses you; And in you all the families of the
earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3)
Verse to memorize
“And I will make you a great nation; and I will bless
you, and make your name great; and you shall
be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
GOALS:
To make the guides understand the importance of their responsibility, so that they are successful in their task.
INTRODUCTORY QUESTIONS
Are you sure of your calling?
A calling is a gift from God for each one of His children. Abraham was not seeking a call, but it pleased God to reveal Himself to him and to call him.
RESPONDING TO THE CALL
Though the call to Abraham came directly from God, it was up to him to believe it, obey it and respond to it.
1. We find some interesting aspects in Abraham’s life about how he responded to the call.
2. Immediate obedience. He did not wait for weeks or months, but he immediately responded to the divine call.
3. Total obedience. Abraham obeyed every word that the Lord revealed to him.
4. Genuine faith. The faith of Abraham was as pure as a child’s, he never doubted any of the words God gave him.
5. Perseverance. Abraham did not look at the circumstances, but believed that God would be faithful in what He had promised to do.
BENEFITS OF RESPONDING TO THE CALL
It pleases God. God was so pleased with Abraham’s response to each one of the tests that He put him through, that He decided to establish an intimate relationship with him.
It made the promise of God real in life.
Abraham became a friend of God. God established His covenant with him, and all his descendants. He then received the anointing for multiplication.
(Genesis 17:1-6)
CONCLUSION
Just as Abraham believed Jehovah and it was counted to him for righteousness so every guide should believe God, be sure of his calling and respond faithfully to it.
APPLICATION
Minister to the guides, leading them through every point explained above and to value and take their calling to lead the people of God.
2. PRESENT THE TEAM FOR TESTIMONY TO THE GUIDES.
3. KEEPING IN COMPLETE HOLINESS.
The guides share the word from God for that encounter.
Define specific objectives.
Prayer and spiritual warfare for the encounter.
“To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.” (Luke 1:74-75)
GOALS
To teach every guide to value holiness and to remain holy as a key to seeing God’s power in their lives.
INTRODUCTORY
What benefits does a holy life bring?
To be holy is to have been chosen and set apart by God before the foundation of the world. God chose us for His service and He does not share us with anything or anyone.
The benefit that a holy life brings is that God will be able to use you. In Judges 13:25 God sanctified Samson that he would be full of the Spirit of God enabling him to deliver the people of Israel.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A LEADER
1. Chosen by God in times of crisis
2. Is given supernatural strength
3. Boundaries are set to maintain his integrity
4. Is given the task to bring freedom to the people of Israel.
WHAT CAN TAKE AWAY OUR HOLINESS?
1. Excessive confidence in the flesh
2. Playing with temptation
3. Excessive self confidence
4. Being unequally yoked with an unbeliever
5. Giving in to pressure from other people see judges 15 and 16.
CONSEQUENCES OF LOSING ONE’S HOLINESS
· You become a slave of your enemies
· You completely lose the vision of God
· You are mocked and ridiculed
· You suffer slander and are treated badly
· You die
HOW IS HOLINESS RESTORED?
1. Genuine repentance
2. Plead for God’s favor
3. Ask for the renewal of the anointing
4. Commit to accomplish your task faithfully.
CONCLUSION
Samson, though he was the strongest man in the world, did not care about his relationship with God, and this brought his destruction. Every believer, no matter how strong spiritually, exposes himself to the same potential disaster as Samson if he is not careful to continually walk with God.
APPLICATION
During the ministry time we should lead the guides to examine themselves, recognise their failures and in a simple way ask the Lord to forgive, restore and renew their relationship with Him.
4. WHAT IS IT TO BE A GUIDE?
Delegate responsibilities.
Assign guides for the encounter and delegate their responsibilities.
“The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray”
(Proverbs 12:26).
Verse to memorize
“For as many as led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14).
GOALS
To motivate the guide to carry out his task with all the diligence that the work of God demands.
INTRODUCTORY
What does it mean to be a guide?
“However, when He, the spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”
(John 16:13)
To be a guide is to be a representative of Jesus on earth. It is to communicate faithfully the message that has been assigned, to be a watchman and warn concerning the future. To be a person under authority. As Romans 13:1 says: “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”
IMPORTANCE OF THE PREPARATION
A guide should be well balanced and properly prepared.
On a spiritual level he should know the Bible and study it in depth. He should have a strong relationship with God through prayer and fasting.
On a personal level he should excel in everything he does and promote unity within the team.
THE GUIDE’S ATTITUDE
· The correct attitude always comes as a result of being in God’s presence.
· Has a humble and serving attitude.
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
· Allows God to take and mould his life.
· Has authority because of the transparency of his ways.
· Treats everyone equally, with no preferences.
· Identifies himself with the suffering of other people.
CONCLUSION
The guide’s work should be done with excellence and discipline, as it will help the spiritual growth of those who attend the Encounter.
APPLICATION
During the ministry time lead the guides to reflect on every aspect of this teaching and lead them into a radical commitment to serve with excellence.
5. HAVING A HEART FULL OF LOVE AND COMPASSION.
Prayer of intercession for specific areas.
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
(John 15:13).
Verse to memorize
“And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick”
(Matthew 14:14)
GOALS
To make the guide understand the importance of knowing the desire of God’s heart, which is to save the lost because of His great love and compassion.
INTRODUCTORY QUESTION
What is love with compassion?
INTRODUCTION
Jesus gave us the example of real love by giving, His life in our place, showing God’s love for humanity through the cross.
God gives all His love without reservation. According to Matthew 14:14 Jesus had compassion on the multitude, He understood their needs and made every effort to meet them.
Compassion makes us like Jesus who has compassion for people and meet their needs.
WHY SHOULD WE HAVE LOVE AND COMPASSION?
It is the desire of God’s heart.
“So I sought for a man among them that should make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one”
(Ezekiel 22:30).
It is a commandment.
“These things I command you, that you love one another”
(John 15:17).
HOW DO WE EXPRESS LOVE AND COMPASSION?
· Understanding man’s condition without God.
· Putting ourselves in someone else’s place.
· Feeling a burden for the needs of another.
· Crying out with all our heart for mercy.
As the prophet Daniel did – In chapter 9 – when he turned to God in prayer and supplication, identifying with the sins of the people, as if he had sinned, and then confessing them before God, and pleading for forgiveness, the favour and divine mercy.
CONCLUSION
Jesus gave us the example of the greatest love and compassion. These were the reasons why He came into the world. In the same way, we should make every effort to follow Him and fulfill His commandments.
APPLICATION
During the ministry time, acknowledge the hardness in our hearts to the needs of others and ask for real love and divine compassion.
6. DEPENDING ON THE HOLY SPIRIT.
“Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophecy with them and be turned into another man.”
(1 Samuel 10:6)
GOALS
To teach every guide to depend completely on the Holy Spirit for every task that is assigned to them.
INTRODUCTORY QUESTION
What does it mean to depend on the Holy Spirit?
To depend on the Holy Spirit means:
1. To trust and be dependent totally on him
2. Complete surrender of our life
3. Be sensitive to His voice
4. Immediate obedience
HOW TO DEPEND ON THE HOLY SPIRIT
“I, the Lord, search the heart, I try the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” (Jeremiah 17:10)
We can see in this verse four aspects that would help us to be lead by the Holy Spirit.
1. Let Him search your mind through His Word
2. Stay firm in the midst of trials
3. Remain in the right path without deviating.
4. Permanently bear fruit in the ministry allotted to us.
CONCLUSION
If we want complete success in everything we do, we should depend totally on the Holy Spirit. As the Lord told us through the prophet Zechariah: “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6)
APPLICATION
Let there be a complete surrender of our lives to the Holy Spirit, renouncing any blockage – whether fears, insecurities, complexes, traumas or sins – let the Holy Spirit fill every area of our lives.

I give up all my rebellion and independence, my pride and self-centeredness, my harbouring of rejection and inferiority, and my bitterness and unforgiveness. I give up all my sin and submit myself to You.
I confess all my sins before You and ask for Your forgiveness. Release me now from the power of the enemy of my soul.
By a decision of my will, I forgive all who have harmed me or wronged me, just as I want You to forgive me. In particular, I forgive…
Lord Jesus, I believe that on the cross You paid the price for me to have a life of victory and freedom. I receive Your gift of deliverance now.
