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.
Quote from Cindy Jacob's recent intercessor's appeal before the event and also on a blog link that is very anti Christian after the event
And it got me thinking how as Christians we think the world will view us. I know this one is an extreme event but I think so often because we know what we mean then we expect the rest of the world to see things the same way. So we go off and do some major amazing prophetic symbolic praying and the world goes "what weirdos!".
I think too we do this with especially evangelism. We tell people the story from a church point of view and expect them to get it. And I know that if we heal people in Jesus name and interpret their dreams in Jesus name a few will come to know Jesus, but not everyone.
A friend of mine said that it is the way we view Jesus that empowers how we view mission and so empowers how we do church, but actually we do things the other way round and it is the way we view church that engineers how we do mission and in turns engineers how we see Jesus. Jesus comes at the bottom of the pile. (Quote from a Michael Frost book)
Now I don't say we stop doing what we do but I do think we need to be doing it because Jesus is the first place in all things.
