Praying One Hour in Five-Minute Segments .. 21667A Call to the Wall Your Invitation to Join History s Greatest prayer Movement!As you read these words the greatest prayer movement in the history of the Church has begun rising up everywhere. It is Christ-centered and harvest focused. It involves not only powerful prayer but passionate worship. It is a movement of 24/7, day and night prayer and worship over the nations and peoples who are yet to experience the joy of knowing Jesus Christ as Savior.

7 It is a movement to mobilize Walls of prayer in cities, towns, and regions that consist of all 168 hours in any given week covered continuously with worshiping intercessors who will each take weekly set times (usually one hour each time) for prayer and worship. It is methodical and systematic. It requires leadership and dedication to be sure each wall is always filled with devoted intercessors. In some settings a Wall of prayer involves a center or prayer room to which intercessors can go physically day or night to pray. Most often, however, these Walls are made up of people who sign up for one or more hours per week in an organized manner until all the hours are covered in a given area or region.

8 A successful Wall of prayer has one or more coordinators who are responsible for signing up intercessors as well as feeding them specific prayer targets related to their community, nation, and the PrayerOne key characteristic of this movement of Walls of prayer is that participants in a specific Wall function in harmonious agreement over prayer assignments provided to them by the leadership of their specific Wall. The purpose of this 31-day GUIDE is to help strengthen this process by providing daily guidelines that are biblically based and 7culturally relevant.

9 One of Christ s greatest promises regarding prayer is found in Matthew 18:19. It concerns the power of agreement in prayer : I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you (NLT). The Message Bible paraphrases this as follows: When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. An Army in Agreement!If this promise of Christ applies to just two people praying in agreement, imagine what might happen if hundreds of people in a city or region are in daily agreement over issues close to the heart of God, like the harvest of lost souls.

10 At present, many thousands of copies of this GUIDE are being distributed monthly throughout the world for praying watchmen. Imagine what could happen if all those followers of Jesus were praying in daily agreement over the specific promises from God s Word on the pages that follow as they focus on critical needs of society today. This would indeed be an army in agreement that could change the world . The pages of this GUIDE include a systematic listing of such biblical focuses (promises from God) that each of those on a Wall of prayer can agree over each time he or she prays.
