The Reformation Prayer Network and the The Global Day of Prayer in the United States will be joining us in this prayer initiative. Please rally your prayer groups to set themselves upon the wall on October 29, 2008 to intercede for the economic systems of our nation and the nations of the world. To facilitate unified global intercession on this day, a prayer guide has been provided below.

Day of Prayer for the World's Economies - October 29, 2008

"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 29, 2008. Why the 29th of October? The stock market of the United States collapsed on that day in 1929, 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 Street. This would spread until there were food shortages. In fact, we heard that 2009 would be worse 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 the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank and its 12 principal branches around the U.S. on October 29, 2008. We are also going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift 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 in other nations, but do not assume this is so; make sure that the one in your nation is covered in prayer. Also intercede for the banks and financial institutions in your area.

Urgent Prayer Points

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. Ask God to give a strategy both to you, personally, and to your country to heal your economies.

4. Repent for a lack of love for the poor. Ask God to forgive any way in which you and your nation have not addressed the needs of the poor, either in the workforce or through racism.

5. Cry out to God for mercy for your nation. Plead with Him according to 2 Chronicles 7:14 and pray that your nation will turn from any 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, putting the lid back on the box as shown in the dream given.

8. Begin to intercede and 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 raise 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. Pray that God will begin to give wisdom in the midst of the shaking - to shift the wealth of nations into the hands of the righteous.
