FLOW PRAYER MEETING WITH DAG HEWARD-MILLS| S13 • E16 | FRI 2ND OCT2026

Key wellness / self-care / productivity takeaways from the Flow Prayer Meeting

• Use praise/thanksgiving to shift your state and invite God’s presence

  • “God inhabits” praise
  • Approach prayer with gratitude (e.g., “enter His gates with thanksgiving”)

• Pray with intentional spiritual “boundary setting”

  • Repeated declarations of protection “by the blood of the Lamb” and “in the name of Jesus”
  • The language emphasizes:
    • blocking access/infiltration
    • lifting a standard
    • fire/warnings/paralyzing attacks (spiritual protection imagery)

• Confess and resist shame/accusation

  • Bind/silence “the accuser of shame, disgrace, embarrassment”
  • “Bind every deception and lies” in your life
  • Intended outcome: restore identity and confidence

• Make a “covenant” with God as a discipline (commitment + accountability)

  • Deeper spiritual growth is framed as requiring an agreement/covenant, not casual faith
  • “Covenant” described as: God does X, you do Y—with seriousness
  • Examples mentioned:
    • “God will be my God… nothing else will be my God”
    • Make “God’s house” your special worship place
    • Offer a portion (Jacob example: 10%)
  • Practical advice:
    • Write your covenant down (pen/paper/phone)
    • Keep it seriously; don’t make promises you won’t keep
    • Keep the number of covenants manageable (the speaker suggests one is enough; more can be risky)

• Use “sacrifice” to deepen commitment

  • Covenant depth is linked with sacrificial giving
  • Encourage offerings/seeds as part of that commitment

• Pay vows/pledges (keep promises to reduce spiritual “leakage”)

  • Strong teaching: if you take an envelope/commit, pay it
  • Promised outcomes tied to vows and calling on God “in the day of trouble” include:
    • deliverance
    • glorification
    • breakthroughs

• End sessions with thanksgiving

  • Closing focus on Psalm 50:14 (“Offer unto God thanksgiving”)
  • Encouraged reflection: remember what God has done and actively thank Him

• Healing + blessing practices during communion and prayer

  • Communion time used to pray for:
    • healing (including things “developing” but not yet diagnosed)
    • protection by the blood of Jesus
    • family/household coverage
    • open doors/access
    • good news, laughter, and restored fortunes
  • Also included prayer for nations (e.g., Malawi, Zimbabwe)
