IMPORTANT WORD FROM CINDY JACOBS!

From Stephen Strang’s column in the November 2008 issue of Charisma, quoting Cindy Jacobs, co-founder of Generals International:

“And the Lord says: ‘I am answering your prayers and have begun the cleansing of Wall Street, exposing the wickedness and greed in high places. Pray now, and I will begin to give the leaders of the nation wisdom on how to revamp and reverse the debtor system currently in place. This is a course correction. If you do not pray at this time, you will miss your day of visitation and the economy will collapse, causing a ripple effect that will sweep the nations with a major tsunami wave.
‘This wave will begin to touch the ground, as even the harvests of the world will be affected. Food shortages, hyperinflation, and other sorrows, especially affecting the poor, will take place.
“However,’ the Lord says, “if my people respond and fall on their face and cry out at this time with a mighty cry, I will hear them and heal their lands.
“Hear, O nations of the earth! Respond with weeping and travail and pray for the stock markets and economic systems. Pray for your leaders as well, for the earth is in the throes of a deep shaking at this moment, for the systems of the earth must be reformed.
“Do not despair and think that I cannot heal — that I will not hear your crying to Me from My throne in heaven. My ear is carefully listening for your sound so I will reverse the curse and bring a blessing upon your lands.”

Day 3 – Tuesday

Scripture Reading: Ez 37:11-14
Prayer Focus: Prodigals Return – the word prodigal comes from the words drive away & squander. I think it is significant in our prayers for the the prodigals to return to acknowledge that much of the reason that the prodigals have left the Father’s table is due to the fact they feel driven away. We need to pray and make sure our hearts are aligned with the Father’s heart and not the elder brothers. Let’s pray for these three aspect in the return of prodigal sons and daughters.
• Healing of the brokenness – Prodigals experience brokenness and disconnect from God as they wander away. Let’s pray for the Lord to move in a sovereign way in bringing healing to old wounds. Let’s pray for encounters of Love that would soften hearts. That even in the midst of riotous living, God would being to come and reveal Himself and heal hearts.
• Clarity of Vision – Let’s pray for “pigpen encounters”, where prodigals realize the emptiness that living apart from the Father brings. Let’s pray for the ears of prodigals to hear the call of the Father to come home.
• Celebration in the Church – Pray and repent on behalf of the church for allowing prodigals to feel unwanted and undeserving of a place in the Father’s house. We must stand against judgment and a religious spirit, and celebrate with the Father at the return of each and every prodigal.
