Prayer Points: Please pray
for the following on the day your church or ministry has selected. Please also send
us your suggestions for future prayer points. To sign
up, e-mail George at praycf@juno.com.
Revival in the Church:
Pray for new beginnings in
people’s lives, especially relating to spiritual disciplines such as prayer,
bible study, fasting and waiting on the Lord. May we have a greater willingness
to pay the price to position ourselves to experience more of God this year.
Reconciliation:
Pray blessings on one or more
churches or ministries on the same week as yours. You may not know them, but
since they are fellow laborers on the Wall they must love Jesus, have a heart
for prayer and have a desire to advance God’s Kingdom. That makes them pretty
much like you!
Reformation of Society:
Sanctity
of Life Sunday is January 21st this year. This is always the Sunday
nearest the anniversary of Roe v Wade. There were 11,568 abortions in Greater
Orlando in 2005. First let us confess, on behalf of the Body of Christ, the sins
of apathy and laziness towards abortion. May God forgive us for allowing this
shedding of innocent blood in our city. Let us cry out to Him to withhold the
judgment we deserve as a city and nation. Pray that killing babies would soon
be illegal again in our city and nation. Thank God for Sanctuary Ministries and
others who go to the abortion mills and save babies who are moments away from
being dismembered. Pray for many more laborers to man these posts for the
laborers are very few.
Reaching the Lost:
Pray that those who got saved or returned to the Lord
this past Christmas season would be led to churches that would effectively
disciple them and quip them to lead their friends to the Lord.
Ask the Lord if there
is anything else He wants to put on your heart to pray for Central Florida.
Pray for your local
church and it’s leaders in the time remaining.
About The Central Florida Prayer Wall
What would God do in Central Florida if
every hour of every day He could find someone praying for our area? What if,
throughout the month, those prayers were in agreement with the prayers of
hundreds of others across denominational and racial lines? The answer is
nothing less than a total transformation of our city by the power of God! That
is the goal of the Central Florida Prayer Wall.
The Lord gave an initial vision for the
Prayer Wall which you can review on our web site (www.christiansnet.com/praycf/praycf.htm).
Within the framework of that vision we seek to serve the needs and visions of
participating organizations to mobilize prayer for the city.
Participating churches and ministries have
committed to cover the prayer points in some fashion on the day(s) they signed
up for. What form does that take? Some groups use the prayer themes as a
general framework for a prayer meeting, adding additional prayer points as the
Lord leads for that meeting. Others have a Prayer Wall segment of their
meeting. Each group is also encouraged to expand the vision and move toward 24
hour prayer on their day. This prayer calendar is copied and distributed to
people who pray individually for the prayer points. If 24 people each take a
different hour then the whole day is covered. If a group is moving toward 24
hour coverage a corporate meeting is not required but the synergy between
individuals praying then coming together to pray for the same topics in a
unified group is very powerful. Participating groups are encouraged to submit
suggestions for prayer topics and any other aspect of the Wall. Please do so,
it makes the Wall stronger!
About The ongoing prayer themes
Revival – we are not seeking any specific
outward experience or type of meeting but an inward change of heart among the
Christians here in Central Florida. However God wants to accomplish it, we are
asking for a lot more love, commitment, compassion, joy, etc. to be seen in the
lives of believers.
Reconciliation – we know we are one in Christ, but do we
demonstrate that with our actions and attitudes? Let’s pray for a real
reconciliation whereby walls come down between denominations, races, cultures,
generations and economic class. Jesus prayed in John 17:23, “That they may be perfected in unity, so that the world
may know that You sent Me, and loved them…”. Reconciliation leading to unity
blesses the heart of God but also witnesses of a living and loving God to the
lost. It takes the whole Church to reach the whole city.
Reformation (or Transformation) – the face
and heart of our city must be transformed for us to be the city God wants us to
be, to fulfill God’s redemptive purposes for our city. As the Church is being
revived and reconciled we must not hide behind the walls of our churches and
homes. We must become influences for good at all levels of society, taking both
God’s love and His holiness with us.
Reaching the Lost
- We need to keep at the forefront of our minds one of the main reasons for
revival, reconciliation and reformation of society. It is not just so we can
all get along or have more people who think like us. When God is moving IN the
Church He usually moves the Church OUT to bring IN the harvest. Jesus gave us the ministry of reconciliation in 2 Cor.
5: 18,19 - “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was
in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses
against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation”. We need
to support in prayer the city-wide evangelism initiatives the Lord raises up to
bring in the harvest in our area.
How to take your place on the Wall
The Living Stones are taking their
places on the wall – churches and ministries have signed up for most of the
days of the month so far with some days claimed by multiple groups. That’s
fine, the primary objective is not to fill a calendar but to raise up much
prayer for Central Florida. The Central
Florida Prayer Wall is coordinated by Pray Central Florida. For more information
or to sign up please call George Kern at
407-245-1132
or E-mail at praycf@juno.com.
