Fountain Gate

The Fountain Gate represents the baptism of Holy Spirit and subsequent infillings of His power.  The Fountain Gate speaks to us of the living waters of the Holy Spirit that cleanses our lives and empowers us for our Christian life! We need a fresh baptism from Holy Spirit.

1^st Prayer Point: Pray for the Lord to search our hearts and reveal anything that we need to lay at His feet. 

Psalms 139:23-24 (NKJV)

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Ezekiel 36:25-27 (HCSB) I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will place My Spirit within you and cause you to follow My statutes and carefully observe My ordinances.

• Pray that we will allow Holy Spirit to cleanse us of anything that would keep us from knowing the Father in a deeper way.
• Pray for the Lord to search our hearts and reveal any hidden sin or offense. We repent of these sins, Lord, and ask you to help us to turn away from them.
• Pray for the Holy Spirit to come and soften our hearts to receive His love completely. 

2^nd Prayer Point: Pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit for those who have never received it and for a refilling for everyone who has.

John 7: 37-38 (HCSB) On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink! 38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”

• Pray for everyone at The Crossing who has received Christ as their Savior to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
• Pray for a fresh infilling of Holy Spirit in us individually and for our family.
• Pray that we will desire to be in His presence more than anything else. Lord, create a new thirst for more of you.
• Pray Luke 3:16, that we will be baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire. Baptize us Lord with a fire that will consume all our worldly desires and cause us to move in power.

3^rd Prayer Point: Pray specifically for the different ministries at The Crossing. 

Ephesians 3:16-19 (HCSB) [I pray] that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. [I pray that] you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth [of God’s love], 19 and to know the Messiah’s love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

• Lord, help us to be Spirit-led in every ministry. 
• Build us in the fear of the Lord, that we will know the power of the Holy Spirit as we grow in grace and mature in the faith.
• Pray that our leaders at every level will make prayer and intercession a top priority. Help us to saturate every ministry here at The Crossing with prayer. Romans 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
• Holy Spirit come and refill every pastor, director, coach, leader, and team member here at The Crossing Church. We want more of You!

4^th Prayer Point: Pray that we will go into our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and our communities with a new power and boldness to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.

Acts 1:8 (HCSB) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

• Pray that we will overflow with hope into our communities by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13(HCSB) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Pray that we will be fountains of refreshment to those around us.
• Pray that we will operate in all His spiritual gifts so we can impact our communities with power. 1 Cor 12: 4-10 (HCSB) There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
