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.
