National Prayer Center Update

I recently returned from a week in Washington, D.C. and would like to report to you on my trip. A strong team of interns from City Church in Kirkland, WA was at the Prayer Center for over a week. We had powerful times of prayer and intercession strategically covering our nation and leaders. Bob and Char Grove are settling into life back in D.C. and at the Prayer Center. They send their love and greetings back to everyone here at Capital Christian.

Despite the tumultuous season our nation is in, I am greatly encouraged by the movement of the Holy Spirit in our capital city. This is a time for the believers all across our land to pray like never before that God’s plan and purpose for our nation will be fulfilled. Many things hang in the balance and I believe the tipping point for good to come to our nation is the strategic prayer of the saints continually bombarding the heavenlies over our nation and specifically Washington D.C.

The role of the National Prayer Center is needed now more than ever. Our nation is on the precipice of change and many of the changes are not good. The National Prayer Center is in a unique position to bring the realities of God and the power of prayer directly to the corridors of power in our nation by personally ministering to our elected leaders. For example, this past week as we were in a very important hearing with Christian Congressmen who were standing up on a critical righteous issue our team was in the room supporting and encouraging them as they battled. At the end of the hearing the lead congressman immediately came over hugged me and expressed his deep appreciation for our prayers and our standing with them in this critical issue. We are also joining with other Christian groups coordinating a concerted prayer effort among believers and churches nationally. The hour is at hand, the task is monumental, the needs in our nation are great but as the Body of Christ draws together to blanket Washington D.C. with fervent intercession and strategic prayer we know that there will be a turning of our nation and it’s people back to God and the biblical truths that it was founded upon.

I want to thank you personally for partnering with the efforts of the National Prayer Center both in prayer and financially in these historic times we live in. With your continued support we will together partner on the front lines of the battle to see the Kingdom of God come and His will being accomplished in our land.

You can send all contributions to P.O. Box 23768 Washington, D.C. 20036 or give it at church in the offering or send it to the church office. Thank you again for partnering with us both financially and in prayer.

It is a great joy to serve with all of you in helping to make America a more spiritually active nation. Thank you for your prayers and your continued interest in the NPC and all that we are doing. We simply represent you and consider it a great privilege to join with you in prayer for our nation. May you and you family be blessed in every way in 2009!

Partnering in Prayer for the Kingdom,

Pastor Ken Wilde

Seeking God for our City (Day 36)

Seeking God to be honored by the ending of wars.

⁸ Come, see the glorious works of the Lord:
See how he brings destruction upon the world.
⁹ He causes wars to end throughout the earth.
He breaks the bow and snaps the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.

¹⁰ “Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.” -Psalm 46:8-10

PRAY:

that Christians in our city would be known for their brokenness and humility.
that the fear of the Lord would melt the hardened pride of people’s hearts.
for Christ to be honored by the reconciliation of longstanding feuds in our city.

Seeking God for our City (Day 23)

Seeking God to grant repentance from our violent ways.

“People and animals alike must wear garments of mourning, and everyone must pray earnestly to God. They must turn from their evil ways and stop all their violence. ⁹ Who can tell? Perhaps even yet God will change his mind and hold back his fierce anger from destroying us.” -Jonah 3:8-9

“And one of them struck at the high priest’s slave, slashing off his right ear.⁵¹ But Jesus said, “No more of this.” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.” _Luke 22:50-51

PRAY:

for Christ to speak to us, as He did to Peter, forbidding us to defend the cause of Christ with violence.
for Jesus to touch and heal people wounded by the words or hostilities of Christians.

Seek God for our City (Day 22)

Seeking God to intervene for what is true and right.

¹⁴ Our courts oppose the righteous,
and justice is nowhere to be found.
Truth stumbles in the streets,
and honesty has been outlawed.
¹⁵ Yes, truth is gone,
and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.

The Lord looked and was displeased
to find there was no justice.
¹⁶ He was amazed to see that no one intervened
to help the oppressed.
So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm,
and his justice sustained him. -Isaiah 59:14-16

PRAY:

for God to save lost neighbors, family members and friends.
for God to save His people from lies, delusion and selfishness.
for Jesus to restore that which has been lost in our cities.

Seeking God for our City (Day 8)

Seeking God to renew our passion to worship.

“But may all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be exalted!” - Psalm 70:4

PRAY:

for Christians to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to worship with joy.
for believers who struggle with depression to be renewed with the joy that filled Jesus.
for God to be acknowledged and honored by government and market leaders.

After thoughts

After two years of constant news about the candidates running for President, we are now free from the incessant sound bites. What do we do now? We go on living our lives as we always should—loving God, loving our family, loving our nation. As believers we should always seek first the kingdom of God. How do we do that? By participating in all the spiritual disciplines of normal Christianity. Let’s make Christianity attractive by returning to a passionate relationship with Christ. Far too many Christians just live a dutiful, apathetic, boring life and don’t ever fully realize that we are here as agents of God to bring the life and hope of God to the earth. Read more and check out video updates from the Phillipines.

Continue to Pray

Thanks to all of you who have pressed into prayer during this urgent hour in our nation’s history! We are going to continue this prayer movement with prayer watches Monday through Friday at 6am, Noon, and 6pm. I ask that you commit to come to as many prayer watches as you can, and believe for God to continue to move in our nation!

Also, I ask that you pray for me as I leave for the Philippines this Thursday, as I go to lead pastors in how to pray for their country and how to establish a prayer center in their nation. Here is a list of things you can pray for:

Pray for health and travel protection.
Pray for the anointing of God to be present everywhere we go and in everything we do.
Pray for divine favor and connection with the leaders in the Philippines.
Pray a covering of protection and health over my family as I step out into the plan of God.

Blessings,

Pastor Ken Wilde

Day After

One day after the election and everyone has an opinion and everyone has a reaction. My response is first of all—when I got up this morning God was still in charge; the kingdom of God is still intact; the church is still the instrument of God to be salt and light to the world. We tend to put too much emotion and energy into the results of political decisions. Every four years we get the privilege of choosing our president and as I have said before that is one of the most sacred things that our founding fathers left to us. We should work with all of our heart to get those elected who represent our biblical world-view. But once they are elected they are our leaders and must respected as such. Our role as believers never changes. We are still to be actively involved in our primary responsibility, which is the Great Commission. No matter who becomes president our role still remains the same…more
