The American theologian Walter Wink said:
“History belongs to the intercessors, who believe the future into being. If this is so, then intercession, far from being an escape from action is a means of focusing for action and of creating action.”

NOW is the time for action. NOW is the time to pray. NOW is the time for intercessors to be front and centre.
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a drastic global impact. With the continuing shut down of society, space has been created. Space that can be filled by either good or evil.
There is the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to move in powerful ways and for the church to rise up and boldly proclaim the saving name of Jesus Christ, who does heal disease and who brings peace in the midst of a storm.
But there is also a great potential for evil. The enemy is seeking to capitalize upon the fear, anxiety and mayhem, and form strongholds that will try to hinder and block the kingdom of God and bring even greater chaos, destruction and death to our world.
As intercessors, NOW is the time, led by the Holy Spirit to PRAY IN the things the Lord wants to do during this time and to PRAY OUT the plans and schemes of the enemy. The Holy Spirit empowers and equips intercessors to pray the prayers that shape the future.
To cooperate with the Lord in praying in what he is doing during this time we are taking time Monday through Friday at 12:00 pm (Eastern Time -Adjust for your time zone) to pray.
We shall be praying for God’s shalom in this time of crisis.

Part of the greater work of Prayer at the Community of the Cross
While the Prayer House at the Community of the Cross is not yet completely built the work of prayer which will be taking place in the building has already begun and will continue to grow.
As we join together in prayer, we do so in what is effectively a virtual prayer room an extension of the Prayer House.
We sit in the midst of a global pandemic and it is easy to feel helpless and powerless. But we know that the Lord hears and answers our prayers. For that reason as a ministry, we prioritize prayer.
So we are coming to the Lord in intercession to lift up our world and to pray for a global shalom.
