The New Mexico Prayer Movement came into being out of the recent “Love New Mexico Prayer Summit” that united Christian leaders and intercessors from different spheres of society and churches to pray for our state. We want to call brothers and sisters in Christ from all denominations and traditions to pray for our state so we can see together the hand of the Lord bringing His transformation to every institution and sector of our society. Every month we plan to send out several key prayer concerns that we hope you will pray for and share with others. Gradually, we believe that the Spirit of God will unite His people and we will see the impact of our united praying across our beautiful but needy state. The Seven Mountains of Influence in Culture are partially the basis of this prayer movement. The Seven Mountains are Arts and Entertainment, Business, Education, Family, Government, Media, and Religion.
As our nation enters this season of Thanksgiving and we begin this prayer network, would you please join us in giving thanks to God for each of these “mountains” or spheres within New Mexico? As you thank the Lord, also pray for those things that need His touch of healing and transformation.
1. Thank God for the beauty of our Christian Art and Christian Entertainment. Our churches are exalted by religious art and our airwaves continue to carry religious programming.
2. We are the most prosperous nation the world has ever known. We live in warmth in the winter and cool in the summer. Thank God for our Business community that has made possible our prosperity, comfort and innovation.
3. Education in this country was established so that everyone could read the Bible. From the onset colleges were established to educate pastors. Thank God for our schools that continue to produce a literate society.
4. Thank God for our Families. Everyone came from one father and one mother. Let’s thank God for our families.
5. We still live in a democracy. Thank God for the foresight of our country’s founders in establishing a system of Government that has stood the test of time.
6. Our Media continues to be freely accessible by everyone. The Word of the Lord continues to be proclaimed to all through our Christian media.
7. Thank God for the Christian church in America and the freedom of Religion we continue to enjoy in this country.
Thank you for your prayers and participation. May God richly bless you and the New Mexico Prayer Movement. Please pray with us that this movement will be guided and empowered by the Spirit and will be able to connect believers in Christ across the state in every community. May we see His prayer fulfilled- that we may be one as He and the Father are one so the world may believe!
