Revival in the Church and Reconciliation:

Ask the Lord to bring His Body in Central Florida into a deeper understanding of the book of Revelation and the End Times. May the possibility that the time is drawing near be another motivator to deepen our walk with the Lord and share our faith with the lost. Pray that differing streams of understanding would not cause division in the Body but instead would provoke all of us to study the subject more thoroughly and seek more revelation from the Spirit of God.

Reformation of Society:

Pray that Christian businesses and Christians on whatever jobs they work would face these uncertain times with integrity and faith. Pray against the temptation to cut corners or do anything illegal or unethical to make money. Pray that these difficult times would purify the hearts of Christian owners and workers causing them to honor God, depend upon God and glorify God more fully in their work. Pray that the “Peace that passes all understanding” would set them apart from those in the world and that they would set the standard for how to go through these times.

Reaching the Lost:

Florida is the top travel destination in the world. Pray for the existing outreaches to our visitors and that the Lord would raise up additional ones. Pray that every person who visits our area would be presented with the Gospel in some fashion. Pray for any outreach ministry you know of. If you need a suggestion, the Greater Orlando Baptist Association is a good one with a variety of outreaches in tourist areas.

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.
