Can you imagine …
In merely 40 days, mercy prayers effected a 27% crime drop within the most violent crime district of Orlando, Florida. Drug lords moved out and slum apartments were demolished. Injustice evacuated. Two years later, the Orlando Police Department reported a further 20% crime reduction. The police chief publicly acknowledged that the 2-year prayer campaign conducted in the heart of the crime district, was the change agent for justice. 1
Experiencing God’s changing power of mercy through prayer will skyrocket your faith and challenge you for deeper compassion toward those robbed by injustice.
Justice Wrapped in Mercy implores us to exercise our ambassador authority for the sake of the destitute. The destitute are those who exist outside of the heart of Jesus Christ, outside of life, joy and peace. We can unify together— prayer closet to prayer closet, prayer group to prayer group, city to city— and become a powerful force on earth that cries, “Be restored to God!” Together we can travail for freedom from wickedness, freedom from the old man, freedom from carnality, freedom from being lost, and watch the dead turn to life, to Jesus the Life-giver.

”Page after page, paragraph after paragraph I found my heart weeping because I realized I was guilty of not being a justice-bearer. Holy Spirit took sentence after sentence and convinced me that I have an ambassadorial appointment to bear – pray – war for the justice of the Lord in the midst of people’s lives.”
-- Diane Buker, Member, International Coalition of Apostles (C. Peter Wagner)
