Prayer at Oasis has three prayer branches.

  • Altar Prayer Team consisting of trained, mature believers who will be available during worship services to minister to those coming forward for salvation, healing, intercession or any other spiritual need. Altar Team members will act as the core Prayer Team Committee and meet monthly for a brief time to prayer needs, focus and management of the threefold Prayer Ministry Team.

  • Intercessory Prayer Team consisting of anyone who will commit to a daily time of prayer for others. Their prayer time may be short or long and at any time of day. They will receive weekly prayer focus guides and are encouraged to pray also as the Spirit of God leads. Everyone willing to commit is invited to join.

  •Pre-Service Prayer Team whose members will come together before worship services to pray over the facilities in a prayer walk and/or meet as a prayer group to pray over the ministry and all those who help Oasis operate. This team is also asked to be in daily private prayer for our church body, ministry and facilities. Everyone is invited to join.

Even the “strongest” believers face trials. Faith is no guarantee of a trouble-free life, but we will weather the storm in joy and peace through a faith made strong by a balanced “diet” of these four “Spiritual Food Groups”:

• Meeting together regularly for worship - at least once a week
• Frequent fellowship with other believers - we need God and each other 
• Daily study time in God’s Word - to know Him is to love Him
• Prayer - every human relationship grows cold without communication

Scriptures on Prayer

"... pray without ceasing." I thes 5:17
No relationship can grow without communication, we need to make prayer a priority in every situation. We need to be in such close contact that in "telling Him all about it," our first response in all situations to praise, petition and pour out our hearts in prayer.

There is Great Power in Your Prayers!
“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:16 

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."  Cor 10:4-5

"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:13-14   Note: “...in my name” implies in His will, for to be identified with His name is to be identified with Him, Jesus Himself and His complete will.

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him." 1 John 5:14-15

We know we have what we asked for when we pray in God’s will, (and we should always qualify our prayers by asking that HIS will supersede ours) and it matters not how pretty our words, nor whether we are in church or in the car, etc. There is no ritualistic requirement other than sincere faith, simple trust and a longing for HIS will to prevail.

Notice the last two quotes have the condition of praying in the Lord’s will. We must use caution when citing any Bible reference because for the meaning to be valid, it must be considered with and tempered by what the whole Word says about the subject within the confines of the Old or New Testament, ie: Under Law or under Grace.

Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Peace is promised if we stop worrying and trust God with the outcome. Hard to do! BUT we can ask (pray) that the Lord Himself - the author and finisher of our faith - will enable us in this.
