Development of an Intercessor Devotional

Leila Dianne Scrivner is a New York-born, Texas transplant, who spent her early years pushing limits and crossing boundaries. After years of living the life of a prodigal, she encountered Jesus Christ and decided to follow Him. In 2015, her journey began with trusting the Lord with her fertility. Currently, Leila is the mother of four children. By profession, she holds a Master's of Science in Physical Therapy and is a certified lymphedema specialist. She has been married for twelve years and renewed in covenant for seven years to her husband, Joe Scrivner, a key person with their local NBA team.

Leila has lived by faith and obedience to the voice of the Lord since 2015, in which He has led her on an adventure that includes becoming a second place winner on the Wheel of Fortune, becoming a guitar player, a book author, a prophetic intercessor, and a worship leader in her local church. Leila enjoys cooking, fitness, family time, and travel. Leila is a member of E1A (a local foster and adoption ministry), Unity Queens (a local ministry focused on empowering, equipping, and encouraging teen girls), and I Am the Promise Ministries (a ministry that encourages believers not to give up on the promises of God). Leila has a cup full and running over, but she is passionately in love with Jesus Christ. Through this passionate love she has for Christ came the birth of this devotional. After initially learning the outline of prayer, Leila learned to pray with intention from the War Room movie. Then through a Facebook group the Lord led her to create in 2016, she was connected to a friend who taught her about warfare and intercession. Once Leila read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, she rejoiced, she gave thanks, and she was determined to pray without ceasing.

Presently, Leila is also a part of the House of Prayer Movement, in which she has led in intercession as well as in worship at local houses of prayer. Walking and talking with the One she loves is her life source. Praying in His authority has been a slow development that she desires to invite each reader to join her in, with the hope of, one by one, bringing forth His kingdom to Earth.
