Unleashing the Power of Informed Intercessionby George Otis, Jr.
George Otis, Jr. coined the term “spiritual mapping” to show how careful research can uncover the historical roots of darkness in one’s community, enabling Christians to see the spiritual forces that are in opposition to the Gospel. This enables informed intercession and strategic spiritual warfare to remove blindfolds that keep people from understanding the good news of Jesus Christ. The goal is to see your community transformed by the power of God. In this set of five audio CDs, George Otis Jr. teaches the principles that are in his book, Informed Intercession.
Preparing for a Spiritual Awakeningby George Otis, Jr
Session 1 - Recovering Our Roots in a Spiritually Homesick Age: Religious programming cannot fulfill our longing for identity and purpose. Only encountering the presence of God will satisfy.

Session 3 - Preparing for a Spiritual Awakening: Transforming revival is triggered when our appetite for God’s presence trumps all other hungers in our life. Learn to identify genuine revival & necessary precursors to prepare the way for Him. Before we can be agents of change, we must become changed agents.

Understanding the Territorial Aspects of Commitmentby George Otis, Jr.

Stewardship of the Land, Parts 1 & 2, and Healing of the Landby Alistair Petrie
Land is mentioned 1,717 times in the Bible, and is a picture of God’s love for His people. Alistair explains how man’s sin establishes strongholds in the church and in the city, and causes people to be blinded to the Gospel. As stewards of the land, we need to remove the impediments to healing and transformation. These messages are filled with information and insights on God’s desire to see entire cities saved and what His purposes are for us as individuals and as a church. Alistair shares many principles from Scripture along with current examples—some quite humorous!
Lynch Documentary & Teaching Set
It's Only Cookie Dough: Lynch, Kentucky — where 10,000 coal miners from around the world set world mining records, fueling wartime steel production. In the war on coal, thousands lost their jobs. As the town was dying, a handful of desperate prayer warriors would not let go, and the town was transformed. It all started with faith, and a little cookie dough.

Individual Messages
Transformational Prayerby George Otis, Jr.
A timeless message, even more relevant now than when George gave this teaching. He answers many questions people have after viewing a documentary of a transformed community. How many people need to pray - and for how long - in order to see their community transformed? How do we know if God is listening to us, and if our prayers are being answered? What are the elements of transformational or prevailing prayer? And, after so many coordinated efforts of people praying, why do so many serious problems persist in our own country and around the world - corruption, violence, human trafficking? George gives clear answers, with powerful illustrations from Scripture and recent transforming revivals.
Spiritual Homesicknessby George Otis, Jr.
As we welcome the presence of God into a city, the character and identity of the city will change.
Abandonment With Expectationby George Otis, Jr.
Our own strength and resources are not close to being adequate to transform our community. Community transformation requires invasive, supernatural power. We need to push the pause button on our lives and religious agendas and say, “God, speak. Invade my space with your presence. Bring a fresh word and revelation to me about what I need to do and we need to do now."
The Nature & Process of Community Transformationby George Otis, Jr.
Thorough teaching, including the difference between transformation and reformation, and between transformation and city reaching/ church growth.
Hindrances to Revivalby Colin Peckham
We can be far from God, even though we are using the right language in prayer meetings. If we have lost intimacy with God, and our heart is hard and cold, we need to ask God to restore that first love where God comes and speaks to our soul. It costs to enter into the presence of God and bare our soul open before Him so He can have dealings with us. It is agony, but it is glory! Colin discusses the problems that prevent revival and how we can deal with the problems.
Obeying the Heavenly Visionby C. Peter Wagner
In this introduction for a conference on Spiritual Mapping, C. Peter Wagner explains the historical progress the Church has made in fulfilling the Great Commission and evaluates the powerful tools God has given us to finish the task. A very informative address delivered with humor.
Loyalty, Offenses, & Betrayalby Campbell McAlpine
In John 17:21, Jesus prayed concerning His followers, “that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.” [NASB] Campbell McAlpine shows the relationship between offenses, disloyalty, and betrayal — each of which hinders our unity with other Christians and destroys the one thing that Jesus said would convince the world that God sent the Father.
Roll Away the Stoneby Campbell McAlpine
Campbell gives a number of examples from Scripture of people needing to roll away a stone. We need to ask ourselves if there is a problem in our lives that is preventing the outflowing of the life of God. As we expose this so God can deal with it, then the world can see through the church the delivering power of God.
Contemporary Revival: God’s Strategy for the Hourby Winkie Pratney
Sin fractured & dislocated the beauty & order God had created, damaging the land as well as people. As we bring the Gospel to a nation, we are saving the life of the nation and restoring its culture to normal. The ultimate end of revival is not just forgiveness of sin, but also, literally healing the land. Winkie gives a thorough biblical exposition of how sin has damaged the land and how God desires to heal it.
Healing the Land: Lessons from Fijiby Vuniani Nakauyaca

Prepare the Way for the Coming of the Lord!by Vuniani Nakauyaca

The Destiny of Nationsby John Mulinde
Every nation has a God-given destiny. The whole world is besieged by powers of darkness, seeking to thwart God’s purposes in each nation. When people seek after God and find Him, God heals & blesses the nation. That nation becomes a blessing to other nations, and God can use them in the redemption of mankind worldwide. Jesus’ desire is to make all nations ministers of the Gospel. John gives powerful examples of how God transformed Uganda, as desperate people travailed in prayer.
What Are His Requirements for Revival?by John Mulinde
God is faithful to bring revival when we fulfill the conditions in 2 Chron. 7:14. God is not arbitrary. John powerfully refutes faith-destroying false ideas - e.g., God only brings revival every 50 or 100 years, and we can do nothing to bring revival if this is not God’s time; or, if we pray for revival, we may not see it, but perhaps our children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren will.
Contending for the Landby John Mulinde
All creation has been corrupted and defiled, and is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. We are crying out to God to transform our communities. But are we also crying desperately to God to mold us into the vessels He can use to open the gates and allow His glory to come through?John explains we need to ask God to teach us how to surrender and to yield everything to Him so that we can fulfill the original purposes He had for man to rule over His creation.

Preparing For Revival (Part 1)by Lonnie Riley
For everything God did in the Bible, He always had some point person who was so committed & so sold out to Him that everything functioned according to God’s design through that leader or through that person. Lonnie explains and illustrates what changes God requires in us so we can know His heart and plans for our lives and see Him do the impossible in our situations.
Realization of the Lord's Presence (Part 2)by Lonnie Riley
Lonnie & Belinda came to impoverished Lynch, Kentucky to help people and to share Jesus. In obedience to God’s specific directions, they have pioneered many ministries, and a third of the county has come to know Jesus. As Lonnie learned to hear a Word from God and believe it, God has answered every prayer. He shares many amazing and miraculous ways God has met needs and transformed the community.
How God Sustains the Work Long Term (Part 3)by Lonnie Riley
If we do not see God doing any mighty works, we need to get on our face before God and pray, “God, show Yourself strong on behalf of Your people so that we can tell the praiseworthy deeds of our God to the next generation so they will understand God is exactly who He says He is.” Lonnie is convinced that what God has done in Lynch, He can do in any community.
