Greetings in the name of the Lord. If you missed the Set Apart for God Retreat with John Mulinde in May you can order the set of 8 audio CD’s online at www.wtmamerica.com. The Global Day of Prayer is June 4th, and check out our current prayer events section on page 2 for some interesting offerings.

 

Global Day of Prayer – June 4

Be part of an amazing movement of prayer around the globe. We will be “gathered together in one accord” in Orlando from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at “The Porch”, 720 N. Orange Avenue, Orlando, just North of 50 and Orange. E-mail Maureen at maureen@ruii.org for details or just come out and join us. A televised (via satellite) North American prayer broadcast with Bob Bakke, TD Jakes, Luis Palau and others will be from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. EST. For prayer calendars and resources go to www.gdopusa.com, www.globaldayofprayer.com and www.waymakers.org.  Last year more than 200 million Christians in 156 nations united in a day of repentance and prayer for the world. Christians came together in large stadiums, open fields, market squares, churches and other public venues to pray. It was broadcast by hundreds of radio and TV stations around the world. According to some this year’s observance will be greatest Prayer gathering ever in the history of mankind.

Federal Marriage Protection Amendment

On June 7th the U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on the constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Many Christian ministries are mobilizing people to call their Senators to urge them to vote for the amendment. Senator Martinez is a co-sponsor. Senator Nelson has voted against it in the past, call him at 202-224-5274 (Washington) or 407-872-7161 (local office). 

 

Orlando Prayer Strike - June 16 and June 30 – 7:00 p.m.

The following is from the Florida Strategic Prayer Network. During the Jacksonville "Awakening a Warrior's Heart" conference, several prophetic words came from Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets concerning our state and nation. One prophecy from Chuck was about the Python spirit which is coiled around the Orlando region and that it is keeping Florida's destiny offshore. He gave us a word to deal with this before July, so we have prayer strikes planned for June. LOCATION: Orlando Worship Center, 4700 Goddard Ave., Orlando. Warning: This is not a seeker friendly event, but one of intense warfare that will change your state and nation. Ken & Cheryl Malone, Florida U.S. Strategic Prayer Network -  www.transformationflorida.com.

We long for the day when God chooses to acknowledge Orlando as His Dwelling Place; we rearrange our lives and seek His favor until it comes: “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, or go up to the comfort of my bed; I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob” (Ps. 132:2-5).

May God’s beauty be magnified throughout the city. May His Church be dressed in His beauty: “Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Oh worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth” (Ps. 96:6,9).

We pray for the fear of the Lord to return, and for righteous justice to be released. When His judgments are in the earth, nations will know God (Is. 26:9d).

(2) Global Day of Prayer – Sunday June 4th

Subject: UPDATED info on Orlando GDOP.doc

 

This is the latest info on the GDOP / the plans for the Orlando event. Please consider being at the PORCH during the day Sunday, June 4th between 9 AM and 9 PM. Blessings! Maureen

 

  Orlando will take part in the world's largest prayer gathering

The Global Day of Prayer - Pentecost Sunday -  June 4, 2006 

                      

The Global Day of Prayer is about the global adoration of GOD...with prayer and praise going up from around  the world...from the rising of the sun to the going down on Pentecost Sunday. As authentic worship comes forth, a symphony of praise will ascend from cities, regions, nations, cultures, streams, denominations. Corporate praise will permeate the Earth's atmosphere and flow profusely before HIS THRONE in Heaven, filling HIS nostrils with delight! What an offering!

 

The world is crying out for transformation, and this type of corporate prayer and praise are critical to achieving it!   To date, there are 178 nations participating, and the United States has 103 events registered in 34 States. Florida has three of these observances scheduled...in Jacksonville, Bradenton and Orlando! 

 

The Body of Christ - the "Church of Orlando" will take its place in the worshipping throng...and allow its beautiful facets to be revealed and sparkling before the Lord!

 

From the "microcosm to the macrocosm", Central Florida to the nations, we’ll join in praying that "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,

 as the waters cover the sea."  Habakkuk 2:14 

 

As we come together that day, we'll model "The Changing Face of Intercession".  Pastors and 

Intercessors will flow together in prayer, worshippers will share instruments and microphones as they praise, generations will dance and rejoice together, and the marginalized, orphaned, handicapped, imprisoned, lost, addicted and disenfranchised will be lifted up in prayer.   

 

We will be "gathered together in one accord" in Orlando

 June 4th - Pentecost Sunday

throughout the day from  

9 AM - 9 PM  

at

THE PORCH

   720 North Orange Avenue  Orlando, FL 32801

(at the corner of Orange Ave. and Colonial Dr. (Hwy 50) - downtown)

 

If you want to take part in the Orlando GDOP, please contact  maureen@ruii.org  

      

Please tell others about it...We are ONE BODY IN CHRIST... we do not stand alone!  

 

With deepest gratitude to all who will stand together!

FOR THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM!

The Global Day of Prayer - Pentecost Sunday, June 4, 2006 

 

On Pentecost, more than 200 million Christians from almost every country will unite in prayer for Christ's glory and the transformation of the nations. A live broadcast and thousands of public venue gatherings are being planned in large stadiums, churches, small auditoriums or homes around the globe!

(4) United States Marriage Protection Amendment

 

THE MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMENDMENT
At stake: The future stability of the family and of this nation


(Excerpted from “Same-Sex Marriage Update”, 5/15/06, Charles Colson, Breakpoint/Prison Fellowship, www.pfm.org) As a Christian, you already know that homosexuality goes against the clear teachings of the Scripture. As a concerned citizen, you should know that redefining marriage undermines the institution of marriage as a whole, and puts vulnerable children at risk.

Because the battle has been playing out on the state level across the country, you may wonder why it is so vital to see this battle won at the national level.

Let us not forget that the states were working independently on abortion laws when the Supreme Court came along (Roe v Wade) and snatched the unborn’s right to life away.

It is not a question of if a case like this will reach the Supreme Court, it is a question of how soon. With a stroke of a pen, the 19 states that have already passed state constitutional amendments, and the 25 others that have passed statutes to protect traditional marriage, can have their work, and the will of the people there, undone.

Unfortunately, we must act now to protect marriage through a constitutional amendment,
the Marriage Protection Amendment.

It is not gay-bashing or homophobic to call for such an amendment. We love all people, as each is created in the image of God – even while we disapprove of what we regard as immoral behavior. Tolerance does not mean we should encourage or enable a lifestyle that is destructive. Our conscience is not free as a nation to sanction and normalize those self-destructive behaviors by protecting them in our laws.

Let us consider children. If same-sex marriage were adopted on a national level, homosexual couples would have unrestricted rights to adoption. Even liberal social scientists in
America are in agreement that children are vulnerable if we don’t protect the natural family structure.

Dr. Stanley Kurtz, a research fellow at Stanford University-based Hoover Institution has studied what happened in countries like
Scandinavia, Denmark and Sweden where same-sex couples with children are two to three times more likely to break-up than are married parents. This trend clearly puts children in danger. Same-sex partnerships reinforce the view that marriage is unrelated to parenthood. And when a society drives a wedge between marriage and parenthood, children are the victims.

As Dr. Kurtz puts it: “Children are dependent on adults. That means they’re dependent on their parents and they’re also dependent on society to support institutions that will keep those children under stable and safe care.”

It would be grossly irresponsible to leave the door open to what could easily be another Roe vs. Wade. We have a short window of opportunity. We dare not let ourselves go slack during these summer months.

 

 

"Because marriage is a sacred institution and the foundation of society, it should not be
re-defined by activist judges. For the good of families, children, and society,
I support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage."
- George W. Bush, 2005 State of the Union Address


NOW IS THE TIME TO PRAY AND ACT

Call your senators and representatives to make your voice heard on this issue and let them know their constituents deeply care about protecting marriage in this country through a constitutional amendment. It has been observed that calls to a lawmaker’s state office are more effective than contacting their Washington, DC office.

REFERENCE SITES: For more understanding on this issue, visit these IFA web postings:

A Federal Marriage Amendment Is Needed
www.ifapray.org/Newsletter


As you take action on this important issue, don’t forget to act through prayer:

“Marriage should be honored by all --” – Hebrews 13:4

Pray that the Lord would return the state of marriage to a place of honor in our country; that marriage would be protected and strengthened.

Offer thanksgiving for sturdy marriages that model His commitment to the Church.

Pray that hope and healing come to those marriages that are strained and breaking.

Intercede on behalf of those who make public policy in
America; that the Lord would bring the Word of God to bear on their hearts and minds. (Psalm 19:7- 11; John 8:31,32)

Ask the Lord to grant opportunity for a Biblical world view and principles into the public discourse. (Ephesians 3:10)

 

 

NOW IS THE TIME TO PRAY AND ACT
There is a vote scheduled on the Marriage Protection Amendment
in the Senate on June 5th, with another vote in the House after the 4th of July.
