us your suggestions for future prayer points. To sign

Revival in the Church:
Offer
thanksgiving for the recent court ruling permitting the public display of the
Ten Commandments in Everett, WA. Intercede that increased preaching and
positive media attention be given to the Ten Commandments. Intercede for a
restoration of this "moral backbone" and of biblical ethics in
America. Intercede for an increased outpouring of the Holy Spirit to
"convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment," and "to
guide us into all truth." (Jn 16:8-13). Source: Intercessors for America.
Reconciliation:
Praise God for the various
multi-church and city-wide events in our area such as the city-wide worship
event this month at OHOP in Ocoee July 25th at 7:00 p.m. Info: info@orlandohop.org or call
(407)877-5970.
Reformation of Society:
Pray that the
Orlando/Kissimmee al Qaeda "sleeper cell" and agents be exposed,
attacks thwarted and individuals arrested and brought to swift justice. Pray
that any local government corruption allowing terrorists to stay and operate
would also be exposed. Intercede that the Lord will prevent an overlap between
al Qaeda and U.S. drug dealers, street gangs and members.
Reaching the Lost:
Many denominational and
non-denominational youth conferences, camps and Christian music festivals are
convened each summer. Pray that all
youth attending are graced to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Pray
that the Lord look with mercy, salvation and deliverance upon all the youth of
your church and area. Pray they be
shielded and delivered from rebellion, promiscuity, addictions, alcoholism,
depression, despair and suicide. Pray
that all teens struggling with suicidal thoughts and feelings talk to someone,
and find counseling. Source: Intercessors
for America.
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 its 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.
