Scriptrues

Talk through these scriptures:-

The whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
Luke 6:19

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body
Philippians 3:20-21

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
Revelation 21:4

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
John 14:12

Words of Knowledge

Ask if there are any words of knowledge, and ask if anyone sensed that a word of knowledge was for them.

Prayer Discussion

  1. Be prepared for someone who may want to give their life to Christ.
  2. Explain that we respect if you don’t want prayer… this is all optional.
  3. State -> “Alpha courses never used to pray for anyone to be healed and nobody got healed. Then, Alpha courses started praying for everyone to be healed, and now, sometimes people get healed. That’s a much better percentage.”
  4. Encourage guests that healing comes in many ways and is not always immediate.
    When we pray we pray in faith, but we trust God to do what He wills, whenever and however He chooses.

Prayer

  1. Ask if anyone wants prayer for healing or a specific issue. The most receptive person should be prayed for first.

End

Close in prayer, asking, ‘if there is anything anyone wants prayer for’, allowing others to pray if they want to. Host to finish in a final prayer.

Invite them to the Church sessions on offer, and remind them that last week is the last Alpha, but this will continue with DOC Nights. Next week the last video will be:- “What About The Church?”

Finish on time 8:30 pm.
