He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. ~ Colossians 4:12b
"Good morning. Before we begin our staff business meeting I wish to ask John to give us the intercessors' report regarding the direction of our new business development program."
"Our intercessors have been prayerfully reviewing the action plan I gave them. We believe the Lord is directing us in this way. However, our intercessors believe we may need to adjust our direction on this."
Does this sound like a far-fetched illustration of a modern-day company? If we are truly going to remove the separation of what we perceive as holy versus unholy, then we must make some paradigm shifts in our thinking.
The Lord has called you and me to be ministers of the gospel in and through the workplace. This means we must fight our battles, grow our companies, and minister to our employees and vendors through the power of the Holy Spirit. Intercessory prayer is the secret weapon of Spirit-led activity. Imagine having intercessors who are part of your team, committed to helping you make decisions in your business life "that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured." It is a comforting feeling to know the decisions you and I make during the course of a business day are in the will of God.
Some time ago the Lord showed me that I needed to find intercessors for my business. I needed to use intercessors in the daily decision process for my business. This has transformed the way I conduct business. No major decisions are made without prayerful review with my intercessory team. Intercessors are the front-line warriors raised up to do battle for the saints. Ask God to rise up intercessors who can support you as you go forth in the battlefield of the workplace.

God, today, I want to make time to pray for all the people I see on a regular basis: my co-warriors , my family , my friends , my neighbors , my church leaders, my family at annointed.net. You know every need they have. I pray that You would give encouragement to the discouraged, good health to the unhealthy, money for the financially needy, peace to the restless, guidance to the lost or searching, and that You would meet any special needs that each of of these people may have right now. God, I pray for their spiritual as well as physical needs. Work through me as You see fit to accomplish Your plan and meet these needs. Please give me wisdom and guidance to know Your will and help me to realize where there is a need to which I can minister. For those who may feel bitterness towards me for any reason, whether I have wronged them directly or indirectly, I ask that you soften their hearts and let me know so I may work towards mending any hurts that I may have caused. For anyone who is speaking ill of those who serve you, I ask that you bind their tongues so that no curses may be spoken (and please bind any curses thought as well.) I thank You God, for hearing this prayer and for Your answers. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

MM this is good. This sounds almost verbatim of the revival taking place in Argentina. Ed Silvoso has been implementing Christ in the marketplace throughout this country beginning shortly after the almost collapse of the national economy there.
Companies are being converted, haveing bible studies and daily prayer, etc. The bible says that the Lord will heal the land, and I think that this means restore the economy.
Thank you for this testimony. I pray that more companies, would follow suit. i have even heard it said that one of Ed's companies, there is a chair (empty) so that Christ can have a seat on the board of directors. God bless!
