Rules that must be followed tarrying with souls

When entering the space to tarry with a seeker, the right frame of mind is essential. Therefore, it is required that a person pray for at least fifteen (15) minutes before tarrying with a Seeker.

If two persons are tarrying with a seeker, only one of them should be tallying, offering words of encouragement. It should be done in a low tone of voice, never shouting in the ear of the seeker. The second person should be praying, never talking to the seeker unless the first person has ceased to encourage the seeker.

Here is an expression of encouragement, “Jesus is giving you the holy Spirit today (tonight), just believe!” When a seeker feels the Spirit and it is evident to those tarrying with him, it is important that you don‘t get excited and begin to shout at the seeker .

Keep encouraging him by saying “the holy Spirit is coming in just yield to it, don’t be afraid, just relax and let the Holy Spirit have it’s way . “ Others in the Room should not rush to the seeker who is receiving the holy Spirit and shout words of encouragement.

It is too many voices and will be confusing to the seeker. Let everyone stay where they are and let the persons tarrying with than seeker remain with that seeker until he is filled.

Anyone with an offensive odor of the body or mouth should not tarry with seekers but sit in the room and pray .

No one should lay hands on a seeker but a minister.

When a seeker is praising the Lord by saying hallelujah or thank you Jesus and is in the spirit, do not change their praise.

No one should run, from one seeker to another unless If there is no change in a Seeker which has been tarrying for an hour or an hour and a half on their knees they should be encouraged to sit up.

If there is no change in a Seeker which has been tarrying for an hour or an hour and a half on their knees they should be encouraged to sit up.

The space for seeking is not for teaching doctrine or for long testimonies, but for people to receive the holy Spirit. All exhortation should be short and encouraging to the seeker. It should encourage the seeker to receive the holy Spirit, tell the seeker to believe, how to have faith and release that faith.

Singing helps the seeker. After tarrying for an hour the saints should sing while the seekers tarry. That would be a blessing.

You should sing blood songs, faith songs, or songs of praise.
