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.
