'Court Session with the Lord' is the weekly non-denominational intercessory program initiative of The Lord's Court International (LCI), a non-denominational intercessory ministry called by God to return His people to their knees in personal prayers and intercession for a one-on-one communion with God
LCI is an unusual ministry with an unusual mandate as contained in Joel 2:14-17 (CEV): "I am the Lord your God. Perhaps I will change my mind and treat you with mercy. Then, you will be blessed with enough grain and wine for offering sacrifices to me.
Sound the trumpet in Zion! Call the people together. Show your sorrow by going without food. Make sure that everyone is fit to worship me. Bring adults, children, babies, and even bring newlyweds from their festivities.
Tell my servants, the priests, to cry inside the temple and to offer this prayer near the altar: "Save your people, Lord God! Don't let foreign nations make jokes about us. Don't let them laugh and ask, 'Where is your God?'"
A global ministry with members from all the continents of the world with the specific instruction from God to bring all the challenges of God's people that have led held them bound before Him in His court for adjudication and intervention, it is founded by Pastor Ray Festus Symperr, an intercessor by calling cum a television producer, publisher and information technologist by training.
Dress Code:
Unlike the conventional prayer vigils which a sizeable proportion of people attend dressed in rags and untidy clothes, 'Court Session with the Lord' is not just one of those vigils, but the Lord's Judgement Valley where the Lord judges all the terrible enemies and surrounding nations of all serious-minded attendees (Psalm 9:11; Joel 3:12; and Amos 5:18-20).
As you come to plead your cause, therefore, it is highly required that you dress responsibly while attending this event in your chosen venue as an indication that you are on the offensive position as the winner against your accusers. And by this singular attitude, your victory is guaranteed (Amos 5:18-20; and Obadiah verse 15).

THE INTERNATIONAL CO-ORDINATOR'S GOODWILL MESSAGE
Dear Attendees,
Precious greetings in the most wonderful name, Jesus Christ on whose behalf I express my profound appreciation for chosing to attend this session.
My beloved, let me categorically state that satan and his cohorts have been working hard to stop us using so many intrigues. But I thank the Lord for His faithfulness. He has, indeed, been helping us all through the woods. Glory be to His holy name.
Tonight, for the first time since the inception of this weekly session in particular and The Lord's Court International (LCI) in general, we are not able to upload the Order of Sitting for this session for you to download or print out for use at the event following myriads of technical and other related challenges. Very importantly, the leadership of The Lord's Court International (LCI) needs your consistent prayers. Scores of challenges abound but the Lord is able to see us through.
Let me quickly encourage all the attendees to, please, co-operate with the Holy Spirit tonight for direction because He has promised to help and comfort us. I advise you to listen to Him for prayer direction tonight. And as you do so, I assure you that you will have a wonderful session with the Lord in His court. You will surely return triumphantly in Jesus' name.
I welcome you to The 20th Session with the Lord in His Court.'
Together, we shall testify!
Yours in the service of the King
& His Kingdom,
Pastor R. F. Symperr.
