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.

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).

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.

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.

(5) Pray for the Troops

 

From: TBachnik@aol.com

Date: Sat, 20 May 2006 10:47:06 EDT

Subject: Pray For The Troops

 

Dear Intercessors:

    Our prayer meeting was held in the 24/7 Prayer Room established a few weeks ago at the Porch in downtown Orlando by a diverse group of radical youth praying for revival.  There is fire in that room,  spiritual fire, a call to fire in our hearts, passion for Christ and His cause covers the walls.  It was a very good place to pray for the war. 

    I had just come from the John Mulinde conference called Set Apart.  It's focus was the call to be set apart for God as a requirement, the other essential ingredient along with desperate intercession that is necessary for revival, for transformation on any level.  The focus of our prayers always begins with protection of the troops and we prayed that way but the focus from my standpoint was for the heart of America.  At the conference John Mulinde said that the destiny of America has never changed.  Our redemptive purpose as a nation is all about spreading the Gospel, it's all about freedom to become the manifest sons of God.  We prayed & interceded for this country to fulfill its destiny.  We prayed for the Spirit of Intercession to rise in The Church for that purpose.  We prayed for the Spirit of Repentance as well.  That we as members of The Church would awaken to our true spiritual condition;  That we are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked and desperately in need of a savior.  That we have compromised with the world in every area of our lives and are indistinguishable from non believers.  And we carried this theme into the war.  We prayed again for the speaking into our nation a clear vision of the necessity of this war and the necessity that it be won.  We prayed for quantifiable evidence in the opinion polls of God answering this prayer.  That the minds of Americans would be persuaded that this war is critical.  That the war is an up welling into the natural of the war that is raging in the spirit world.   Lord, we call for a clear vision to come forth from pulpits and media across this nation that will impact the resolve of our nation.  And Your answer to be seen in opinion polls.  Lord let a clear voice be heard that will speak with wisdom and unimpeachable logic that America will hear.  We prayed that the casualty statistics would reflect the prayers of God's people believing Psalm 91, that The Lord is our refuge and fortress.  We prayed for a reduction in the statistics. And we prayed for zero casualties.  Mt 21:22  What can you believe for?

    Below is a link to a web site about the popularity of the war:

 

The Glittering Eye » Blog Archive » The popularity of the war in Iraq

 

    I pray that the Spirit of Intercession will spread through us into our world to transform it because after all, The Kingdom of God is at hand.  Blastings, Greg Bachnik 407-327-4422

RECENT NEWS STORY

'Dr. Phil' of prayer to hit national TV
Convict-turned-preacher expects 1 million viewers instantly 

By Joe Kovacs
WorldNetDaily.com

Bill Keller

He's been likened to Dr. Phil.

He's been in federal prison for insider trading.

A magazine said he could be "the Next Big Thing in mass-media religion."

 

And, now, he's about to hit the national scene with an interactive
program
trying to bring the message of God to the lost and downtrodden.

His name is Bill Keller, a businessman who has become a staple of
late-night television across
Florida, and, beginning in July, will
appear nationally
on the Pax TV network.

Keller is the founder of LivePrayer.com, an interactive website
utilizing
some 700 retired pastors to provide a 24-hour-a-day presence for those
seeking
help with spiritual matters. His PR firm calls it "the most successful
online Christian outreach in history."

In March 2003, the site launched an hour-long television program,
pulling
some 250,000 viewers per night in the Sunshine State alone. Keller is
expecting 1 million to tune in when the program is broadcast nationwide

and is
optimistic that will double to 2 million within a year, putting him in
the range
between "Larry King Live" on the low end and "The O'Reilly Factor" on
the high
end.

The television show already is viewable online by accessing
LivePrayer.com
when the program is aired from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. Eastern Time.

On Monday night's show, Keller acknowledged he's had to deal with plenty
of
prank callers and people who made fun of his live, biblical format.

"I've had literally dozens of e-mails over these last three years from
guys
who had e-mailed me that said they first started watching the program
because they just want to mock God, and they laughed and all that stuff.

Some told
me how they used to call with prank calls," he said. "[Since then], I've
had
dozens of e-mails from those people asking forgiveness, telling me how
one
night God got hold of their life, how they're Christians now ... that's
the way
it works, man."

"The very reason I'm on," he added, "is for exactly these people, 'cause
these people aren't going to church, they don't read the Bible, they're

not
believers. They're just out there lost and really hurting; and the fact
is by
watching this program, regardless of what they think, God is speaking to
their
hearts, and seeds are being planted."

The following night, Keller got a dramatic call from a viewer named
Trudy
in Palatka, Fla., who said she was caught in a war with the unseen
forces of
darkness.

Trudy: I need you to pray for me. I've been in the occult and I'm trying
to
change my life, and I want to do that, and the spirits are really
strong.

Bill Keller: You ready to turn your back on Satan and accept Jesus?

Trudy: Yes, but they won't let me.

Keller: Who won't let you?

Trudy: The spirits.

Keller: Well, let me tell you something. The Spirit of the Living God
says
to turn from Satan right now and get on your knees and accept Jesus. ...
Are
you ready to cast Satan out of your life and accept Jesus? ... Pray with
me
right now, will you?

Trudy: I can't.

Trudy's phone line mysteriously went dead, and Keller immediately prayed
for God to help the woman in turmoil.

"The Bible tells us that our battle is not with flesh and blood, but
it's a
spiritual battle. You just heard the real-life manifestation of that
battle," Keller explained to his viewers. "There's a battle going on

right now for
Trudy's soul. Satan is holding on and doing everything he can to keep
her from
making that commitment to Christ. ... You don't usually hear that battle
going on in real life. What you normally hear is people that have just

given in
to sin."

Keller was raised in the United Methodist Church, and though he felt a
call
to serve God at an early age, he got sidetracked into business, and was
arrested in 1989 on charges of insider trading on the stock market.

He was convicted and spent two and a half years at a federal prison he
calls "Club Fed" in
Pensacola.

Keller spent his time behind bars studying Scripture and worked his way
to
a degree in biblical studies from Jerry Falwell's Liberty University in
Lynchburg, Va. He became a minister upon his release from prison in
1992.

Keller began his interactive prayer site in 1999 and says with the help
of
his volunteer pastors, the page has responded to over 60 million
requests for
prayer worldwide.

(7) Iranian church leaders call for prayer and fasting

 

IRANIAN CHURCH LEADERS CALL FOR PRAYER AND FASTING
Prayer campaign set up to support 40 days of prayer for Iran


(ANS) While the United State and Iran play a game of brinkmanship over the latter's pursuit of nuclear technology, more than 120 Iranian church leaders have pledged to 40 days of prayer and fasting for the salvation of Iran. This campaign will begin on Ascension Day, May 25, 2006 -- the day in biblical history that Jesus asked His disciples to wait for God's visitation. Participants will fast for different lengths of time and at different periods during the 40 days.

"Iranian Christians have issued a call to the global Church to join in praying for the strategic country of
Iran. Together they are working to see that millions of Christians around the world will join this campaign. Many church leaders and prayer groups around the world have already begun to put their weight behind this campaign," said Sam Yeghnazar, Executive Director of Elam Ministries.

In answering the question, "Why pray and fast for
Iran?" Yeghnazar replies: "Because critical times demand dramatic action." Yeghnazar says Iran has long played a leading role in the Islamic world. "These days it is at the center of a global crisis that could easily lead to war, deep political turmoil and economic chaos. We need to fall on our knees and pray that God, in His mercy, will intervene." He adds: "Also, the small but rapidly growing Iranian church is on the brink of unprecedented growth.

Despite the prospect of persecution, men and women, young and old are putting their faith in Jesus Christ -- many as a result of dreams and visions. We need to thank God for the open hearts and we want to cry out for a great revival. A strong church in
Iran will impact the entire region."

Christians around the world are being asked to pray for the persecuted Church in
Iran; "The Church has experienced severe persecution and restrictions since the 1979 revolution," Yeghnazar said. "In the last year, this intimidation of Christians has intensified. We will pray for protection, wisdom and boldness for our brothers and sisters in Iran."

"Most of Iran's 70 million people have never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel. We want to pray that every Iranian will hear and understand the Gospel and that millions will repent and be saved. "

He is also suggesting Christians pray for God to intervene in the political situation. "We will pray that God will give
Iran righteous and humble leaders who will act justly and love mercy," he said.

A prayer website -
www.prayforiran.com - will provide the global church with all the information and prayer requests needed to be able to intercede.

 (8) The real cause of high gas prices

 

"If Congress is looking for someone to investigate over high energy

prices, it should start with itself. Republicans in Congress

should immediately review the last 40 years of government

restrictions on energy production. What they'll find is that

government regulations are why not a single new oil refinery

has not been built in the United States since 1976. Government

regulations enacted by Congress stand in the way of exploration

for oil and gas in much of America, including Alaska's Arctic

National Wildlife Refuge. Government regulations require

different gasoline formulas in different regions of the country,

forcing higher prices and decreased production. And government

regulations---pushed by leftwing environmental hysterics---have

blocked the development of safe, non-polluting sources of nuclear

energy. We could have lower gas prices if Congress didn't make

exploration and production so expensive. And we would have more

energy independence if government didn't stand in the way of

tapping domestic sources of energy. So the next time you hear a

politician complain about who's responsible for the high price of

gas, tell him: 'Congressman, investigate thyself'."---Newt Gingrich

(9) Release of the New Breed

 "The Release of the New Breed--Birthing Powerful Demonstrations of the Supernatural"

May 15, 2006    Jeff Jansen    Global Fire Ministries   www.globalfireministries.com


Birthing Signs of the Overcomer

It must have been a sight to see! The children of Israel could only watch with amazement, as Moses brought the terms of their release to Pharaoh from God--backed up with powerful displays of the supernatural. They had never seen the power of God like this before, and now He was demonstrating it on their behalf. The very same thing happened with Jesus as we read in Matthew 4:16, "The people who sat in darkness, saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shades of death, light hath arisen." Jesus shows up demonstrating the supernatural power of God in a new model of what was to come.

For the Israelites, the process of just getting to the place of entering their land, was long and difficult. A whole generation had passed away, because they did not possess the character or the faith required for taking the Promised Land. Another great change was now coming upon the reality of their existence. In the wilderness, everything had been provided for them; food, water, even the shoes on their feet did not wear out for 40 years. Now, with Joshua, they would have to fight for their own inheritance. The obstacles that stood in their way simply looked impossible.

The New Reality of No Limits

Joshua and Caleb were of another spirit and were granted access into the Promised Land, because they followed the Lord fully (Numbers
14:24 and 14:30), and possessed the "Spirit of the Overcomer." Today, like Joshua and Caleb, an emerging company is rising that is hearing the "yes" of Heaven and will follow the Lord fully. This company may be difficult for many to welcome and accept, but we need to get ready for them for they will display the "NEW REALITY of NO LIMITS!"

Several generations ago, A. W. Tozer said, "The fact is that, we are not producing saints. We are making converts to an effete type of Christianity, that bears little resemblance to that of the New Testament. The average so-called Bible Christian of our times is but a shallow display of true sainthood. Yet, we put millions of dollars behind "movements" to perpetuate this lower form of religion and attack the man who dares to challenge the wisdom of it."

Every generation has had its revivals and revivalists that would stir the so-called "pot" and the religious order of the day. The leaders would have to scramble to do "damage control" to try to bring the people back into their so-called normal lives. But, tell me, what really is normal?

An Emerging Ezekiel's Company

Rick Joyner recently wrote that we are coming into times when passive Christianity and passive Christians will cease to exist. There is a maturity, a discipline, and a divine militancy coming upon the people of God. Those who have succumbed to humanistic and idealistic theologies, may have a hard time with this, but we must understand that God is a military God. The title that He uses 10 times more than any other in Scripture is, "The Lord of Hosts" or "Lord of Armies." There is a martial aspect to His character that we must understand and embrace for the times and the job to which are now coming.

There are strong signs of an emerging church that knows no limits in God. This emerging army is an "EZEKIEL'S COMPANY," that has the very breath and life force of God blowing through them. Their sole identity and purpose is found in the power, the presence, and the person of Jesus Christ. They have a radical faith and bold disposition that keeps most people off balance--watching with amazement-- and, when the situation demands it, they know how to execute and operate in the power of God, to do the humanly impossible. We are no longer standing on the outside of the Kingdom looking in. We are smack-dab in the middle of it and are quickly becoming the "Greater works than these shall you do," generation! (John 14:12.)

The Return of the Glory of the Lord

We have crossed the threshold of a new door and have entered into a new room, of seeing the return of the glory of the Lord. It is a new season, a new cycle, a fresh place with the Lord, where the body of Christ is beginning to move past its present experience and self-induced limitations, into new streams of the glory presence of God. People are soaking themselves free in the Golden Glory River of God, only to find themselves in a brand new place, on a brand new shore, bearing fruit.

Out from this Golden River, this new breed of believer is emerging with all of Heaven's DNA (Divine Nature Applied), and is being thrust into cities, regions, and the nations, as "glory dispensers," with astounding signs, wonders, miracles, and powerful displays of the supernatural. God has put His "Governmental stamp of approval" on them, as a fresh sign to the body of Christ of seed promised by His Holy Spirit. They will reveal realms of the glory, yet to be seen.

The New Breed of Saints

This new breed of saints understands, that the anointing is released through compassion and the affections of their heart. The only language they understand, is what comes by waiting in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Meekness and humility are their trademark. The favor of God envelopes them, because of the fatness of the anointing that rests on their lives. As harvesting machines, they understand that the great harvest that is to come into the church, will not come in by conventional means, but will come in supernaturally, by lovesick lovers releasing the realm of the Kingdom of God, in power, everywhere they go.

In order for us to see the supernatural power and glory of the Kingdom of God flow, we need to be radically transformed in the way we see and understand God--who He is, and how He operates. The Lord is looking for those whose hearts are completely His; those who will wait on Him and allow Heaven to fill them, so they can understand by experience, what it looks like when He invades our world. What does He look like? How can we detect Him? This new breed of disciple, is humble and teachable, and they walk completely dependent upon the leading of the Spirit. They are constantly being stirred and transformed in the inner man, in order to detect even the slightest heart impulse that comes from the heart of the Father. They have come to know the secret of abiding power, and that breakthrough comes from the friendly counsel of God in His presence, as they wait and are clothed with power from On High.

Prayer:  Lord, we ask You for a new breakthrough into the secret place of Your presence. We ask You for a fresh understanding of who we are as sons and daughters of the Kingdom, and for the revelation that will bring us into an experience of this place. Holy Spirit, begin to stir deep hunger in us. We want to be part of this emerging EZEKIEL'S COMPANY, filled with Heaven's breath. Wipe shame from us now, so we can again radiate with fresh love and confidence that comes from Your presence. Build us up in Your grace and strengthen us with experience, as we step out from all that we know as common, and into newness of life with You!
