About Court Session with the Lord:
'Court Session with the Lord' is the 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.

THE PLENARY SESSION WITH THE LORD IN HIS COURT TO MARK PASTOR SYMPERR'S BIRTHDAY
(FROM 11.00 P.M., FRIDAY, 19TH – 3.00 A.M., SATURDAY, 20TH AUGUST, 2011)
Venue: At your personal or family altar.
FROM PASTOR SYMPERR TO ALL ATTENDEES
My fellow attendees,
Greetings to you in the most precious name, Jesus Christ. I thank God for blessing you with His peace in Jesus' name.
I wish to use this medium to express my appreciation to those my Facebook and non-Facebook friends alike who sent their birthday wishes. It is my prayer that the good Lord who called me into His work will raise men and women that will rally round you on your day of joy. Thank you so very much.
When the Lord decided to use me for this awesome assignment, He spoke to me and I heard Him very clearly that The Lord's Court International (LCI) shall be a global ministry. As human, little did I understand what He meant and how He would bring this to pass. Today, I thank God for the good work He is doing through this ministry. He told me this is just the beginning. As partners in this assignment, our role is to simply follow Him and trust Him for direction and leading.
This session is a very special one. Special because it wasn't planned for. I was merely praying for all those who sent their birthday wishes to me on Sunday, 14th August when the Lord impressed it strongly in my heart to convene a plenary session with Him so as to bless my ministry partners. Therefore, I advise you to open your heart to receive tonight because the Lord is prepared to do a new thing in our lives.
Please, make sure you follow all the instructions in the Sitting Order for maximum results.
Once again, thank you and God bless.
Yours in the service of the King and His Kingdom,
Pastor R. F. Symperr,
International Co-ordinator.
