Session A (Catch the Fire - Signs & Wonders 2006) Steve Long

Main summary

Key takeaways

Entertainment

Worship & Breakthrough Focus

The session begins with an extended worship set centered on turning eyes fully to Jesus. The worship leader guides the room into a “release of God’s presence” and teaches a chorus repeatedly:

“I fix my eyes on you”

The message emphasizes that real breakthrough comes from letting God be in control—not from self-effort.

As the atmosphere escalates, the worship becomes more intimate and prophetic in style. Participants are invited to be taken to a “secret place,” where God “wraps” people in His arms, assures them:

“I’ll never let you go”

Unconditional love is highlighted throughout.

Prophetic Intercession Highlight

A major emphasis is prophetic encouragement to intercede for others. The prayer leader invites people to sing:

“Take him/her to your secret place”

for specific loved ones who need God’s touch.

“One Another” Moment

After the worship segment, the program includes a humorous “one another” moment. Attendees are told to turn and tell someone—often a stranger—that God will:

“load you up with his fire this week”

Then everyone returns to their seats.

Announcements & Conference Orientation

The program shifts to announcements and conference orientation, led by the MC:

Mary Audrey Raycroft

She welcomes first-timers and celebrates the conference being the 13th one, tying it to Jericho and the walls coming down. She also notes that the weekend includes notable speakers and worship resources.

Practical housekeeping reminders include:

  • Parking instructions
  • No food in rooms
  • How prayer lines work

There’s also light humor about staying involved:

“You don’t get retired, you get re-fired.”

A notable reaction occurs when Tadd Bentley is mentioned as being unable to attend due to health strain.

Teaching: “What You Were Born to Do” (Signs & Wonders)

After worship, Steve Long speaks on what believers were born to do, framing the theme as signs & wonders. He also references the transition of naming for next year’s event.

His core teaching is that believers should expect miracles because:

  1. We have the same Holy Spirit Jesus had.
  2. We have the same Father Jesus depended on.
  3. We have more truth than the early church (Old + New Testament, plus Acts).
  4. Jesus prophesied believers would do equal or “greater” things after He went to the Father.

A recurring emphasis is that Jesus operated through the anointing of the Holy Spirit rather than using His divinity—Steve argues this makes healing “easier” to pray for.

Prayer Activation & Guided Declarations

Steve repeatedly uses guided prayer and “activate faith” moments. People pair up, close their eyes, and speak declarations such as:

  • “You were born for signs and wonders”
  • “Call the anointing to rise up”

Healing Demonstration (Highly Participatory)

The session becomes highly participatory with a large healing demonstration. People with pain/sickness stand and are assigned to ministry team members.

Prayer is given in phases, including:

  • “Come Holy Spirit”
  • “More”
  • If needed, addressing possible spiritual causes

The crowd is encouraged not to “work” for healing, but to receive it like salvation, then check physically for changes.

Reported Results

Many testimonies follow, including quick relief or full resolution of issues such as:

  • Back pain and chronic issues
  • Migraines
  • Shoulder pain after an injury
  • Ear pain
  • Throat/voice problems affecting worship
  • Asthma
  • Digestive problems (including indigestion/constipation)
  • Nerve/joint issues and numbness
  • Neck pain/limited motion (including a miracle-like expansion of movement)
  • Concerns such as hepatitis C (prayed over as part of the healing ministry)

“Advanced Prayer” Phase

An additional “advanced prayer” phase is introduced for possible spiritual oppression, described as:

  • demonic spirits
  • curses
  • footholds

Forgiveness is also emphasized, including:

  • forgiving others
  • breaking spoken self-curses (e.g., “I’ll always be sick”)

Afterward, the group checks again through body movement and quick physical tests.

Closing Momentum Toward Evening Ministry

The session ends building momentum for the evening. Worship continues, and the crowd is told tonight will include:

  • more ministry
  • stories
  • professional-level continuation

In particular, Bill Pranker(d) is referenced as coming for later sessions as a healing evangelist.

Standout Vibe

Overall, the standout vibe is a fast-moving combination of:

  • worship + teaching
  • repeated prayer activation
  • visible healing outcomes
  • joyful communal celebration
