"Day of Prayer" is asking for prayer

for the World’s Economies

on 29 October 2008

Dear Friends

On Wednesday, 29 October 2008, intercessors from around the Globe will be going to their respective Stock Exchanges, government buildings etc to intercede on behalf of the nations for the current economic turmoil. Many will be praying in Churches and Prayer groups, as all around the world the effect of the economic chaos on poverty, crime, despair and hopelessness is felt.

Please join us as we take hands worldwide in prayer.

Below please find a few guidelines on what to pray for sent to us by Cindy Jacobs on behalf of the US Reformation Prayer Network. Adapt these prayer points as you see fit for your nations’ needs.

For thus says the Lord of hosts: “Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple (house) with glory, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of Hosts”.
Haggai 2:6-8

We are calling for prayer for the stock markets, banks, and financial institutions of the world on October 29th, 2008. Why the 29th of October? The stock market of the United States collapsed on that day and a great economic depression ensued.

At the beginning of the 2008, intercessors began to hear from the Lord that without divine intervention, a major shaking was coming to Wall St. This would spread until there were food shortages. In fact, we heard that 2009 would be worst than 2008! Of course, it goes without saying that this would affect markets around the world.

During the same time period, a dream was given that showed 50 boxes of iniquity representing the economic systems in all 50 states. The lid was off and the stench was terrible. God gave an instruction in that dream that we were to “put the lid back on the boxes” until a biblical economic structure could be built in its place. Of course, this could be said of economies around the world as well.

For this reason, we are meeting with intercessors at Wall St., having prayer at the Federal Reserve Bank and its 12 branches around the U.S. on October 29th, 2008. We are also going to intercede on site of the statue of the bull on Wall St. to ask God to begin to change from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the “Lion’s Market” or God’s control over the economic systems. While we do not have the full revelation of all this will entail, we do know that without intercession, economies will crumble.

Please gather with your prayer groups and networks at financial institutions around the globe. Intercessors are already going to some of the stock exchanges, but do not assume this is so and make sure that the one in your nation is covered in prayer. Also intercede for the banks and financial institutions in your area.

Here are a few suggested prayer points for the day:

1. Repent for any personal greed. Ask God to show you any personal connection that you have with mammon.

2. Repent for the economic sins of your nation. Ask God to forgive the greed, avarice, participation in mammon, etc., that has taken place in your nation’s economic system.

3. Repent for any excessive participation in debt and the use of credit. Ask God to give a strategy both personally to you, and nationally to your country to heal your economies.

4. Repent for a lack of love for the poor. Ask God to forgive any way your nation has not seen to the needs of the poor either in the work force or through racism.

5. Cry out to God for mercy for your nation. Plead with Him according to 2 Chronicles 7:14 and tell the Lord that you will turn from your wicked ways.

6. Pray for wisdom for the leaders of your nation on how to deal with the current financial crisis.

7. Ask God to stabilize the nation’s economy. (This is the putting the lid back on the box shown to the intercessor in the dream.

8. Begin to intercede to ask God to establish righteousness in the stock exchange, expose corruption and bring to justice those who have sinned against God and the nation. Ask God to heal the economy.

9. Pray that God will rise up an economy based upon biblical principles.

10. Intercede that a great revival will break out in the marketplace as a result of the shaking and God will begin to give wisdom in the midst of the shaking to shift the wealth of nations in to the hands of the righteous.
