Father, in the name of Jesus, we have received Your power—ability, efficiency, and might—because the Holy Spirit has come upon us; and we are Your witnesses in __________ and to the ends—the very bounds—of the earth.
We fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in good time for every need—appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we in the city of __________ need it.
Father, thank You for sending forth Your commandments to the earth; Your Word runs very swiftly throughout __________. Your Word continues to grow and spread.
Father, we seek—inquire for, require, and request—the peace and welfare of __________, in which You have caused us to live. We pray to You for the welfare of this city and do our part by getting involved in it. We will not let [false] prophets and diviners who are in our midst deceive us; we pay no attention and attach no significance to our dreams that we dream or to theirs. Destroy [their schemes], O Lord; confuse their tongues, for we have seen violence and strife in the city.
Holy Spirit, we ask You to visit our city and open the eyes of the people, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in Jesus.
Father, we pray for deliverance and salvation for those who are following the course and fashion of this world—who are under the sway of the tendency of this present age—following the prince of the power of the air.
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Father, You see the regional and cultural strongholds that would hinder the Gospel. You have told us to declare Your works. So we say boldly that the prince of the power of the air, the god of this world who blinds the unbelievers—minds (that they should not discern the truth), is a defeated foe.
We declare on the authority of Your Word that You have disarmed the powers and authorities; You made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the Cross. Thank You, Father, for the spreading of the Gospel.
Thank You, Father, for the guardian angels assigned to this place who war for us in the heavenlies.
In the name of Jesus, we stand victorious over the principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places over __________.
We ask the Holy Spirit to sweep through the gates of our city and convince the people and bring demonstration to them about sin and about righteousness—uprightness of heart and right standing with God—and about judgment.
Father, You said, “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you…thoughts and plans for welfare and peace, and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome” (Jer. 29:11 AMP). By the blessing of the influence of the upright and God’s favor [because of them], the city of __________ is exalted. Amen.

Germaine empowers God’s agents of prayer to approach the Throne of God confidently and fearlessly. She has a passion to see believers become intimately acquainted with the Father-God, the Creator of the universe, praying that His will might be done on earth as it is in heaven. They are equipped with the necessary prayer armor learning to wage a spiritual warfare for the reclaiming of communities and nations for Kingdom purposes. Business, government, the arts, media, education, religion, and family are societal areas where God wants to reflect His glory. Germaine provides coaching and prayer counseling, calling on every member of the Body of Christ to take their place in the Global Company of Intercessors. Her teaching helps the listeners solidify their identities, enables them to “repair the defenses of the city, to take a stand for God and stand in the gap to protect this land so He won’t have to destroy it.” (Ezekiel 22:30 MSG).
In the 1980’s Germaine served as Associate Pastor of Word of Life Church in Smyrna, Georgia, before serving as Senior Pastor for 5 years. She travels nationally and internationally conducting prayer schools, speaking at churches, conferences, and other groups.
Germaine organizes prayer teams for the purpose of spiritual and social transformation in the nations where they pray on location. These teams receive training in the art of prayer that releases the will of God into the atmosphere of the regions. She has led teams to the Cayman Islands and to North African countries where they have spread the love of God to unbelievers and strengthened followers of Jesus who are living in the various countries. Her books and teaching help others discover how to grow in grace and knowledge and live with new power, strength and victory as God promises.
