Revival in the Church:

Repent from prayerlessness in our own lives and in the Church. Jesus found His disciples sleeping while He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and told them “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matt 26:40,41)". May the Lord use these difficult financial times to shake us from our complacency and place within us a fierce dependence upon Him. May that heart of dependence compel us to spend extended times of prayer with the Lord. Now, spend some serious time praying!

Reconciliation:

The National Day of Prayer (NDP) is May 7^th and there are many city-wide prayer events taking place on that day. Pray that believers all across our Central Florida area would gather together and cry out to God in unity for our nation. Events and information can be found on www.ndptf.org or call Tomas at 321-604-1441.

Reformation of Society:

Ask the Lord to sir up prayer in the marketplace. Some companies have chaplains; many others have organized prayer meetings or informal prayer gatherings on special days such as the NDP. May the Lord so captivate these people’s hearts that it would bring revival to the marketplace. May the righteousness and holiness of God be raised up as the standard of conduct for business decisions. May everything, including work, be done for the glory of God.

Reaching the Lost:

May we see the marketplace as a mission field that we are sent into, not just as a means of making a living. Pray for a new boldness among Christians at work. Pray for an increased manifestation of the power of God and the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit in the marketplace.

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.
