Over the past 15 years of engaging in marketplace intercession, I have continually received revelation from the Holy Spirit on the significant role that marketplace leaders play in the grand narrative God is writing.
It is a tremendous privilege to partner in prayer with God's influential leaders who are shaping the planet through their decisions and interactions. This partnership is not just about praying for their success for success's sake — it's about standing in the gap with them and for them, interceding for their spiritual growth, integrity, and the advancement of God's Kingdom through their influence.
Jeremiah 27:18 "If they are prophets, and the word of the Lord is with them, then let them make intercession for the Lord of hosts."
I want to give you an insider's view of how I actually pray with and for our CEO partners.
How Co·Reign Prays for Marketplace Leaders
Step 1 — Sanctified Imagination
One of the most profound aspects of intercessory prayer is the ability to use our sanctified imagination to agree with Heaven. I often ask God, "What does Christ-like transformation look like in this particular sphere of influence?"
Every incredible technology and thriving business model we depend on in our society began in someone's imagination. We were made in the image of God — the root word of imagination is "image." God created the cosmos with His imagination, and with that same heart and mind, I pray the Father's heart connected to my spirit.
This is not fantasy or make-believe. It is truly inspired, Holy Spirit-sanctified prophetic possibility — envisioning what God can do through a yielded leader.
Step 2 — Praying for the Company, Team, and Family
I begin by declaring and decreeing what comes into my mind and spirit as I pray for the CEO's organization. Then I intercede for their marriage and children, asking God to release the ingenuity and strategies of Heaven over them.
Step 3 — Discerning What Jesus Is Praying
Once I have prayed for their company, team, and families, I inquire of the Lord about the prayers He is praying over them. I discern what Jesus — our great high priest and intercessor — is praying, and I repeat it out loud.
Hebrews 7:25 Jesus always lives to intercede — and the Holy Spirit will reveal to us what He is praying.
Step 4 — Spiritual Warfare
I ask the Lord to post angelic watchmen to protect every area of the CEO's life, family, and team. I pray for warring angels to push back darkness and the temptations and cares of this world.
Step 5 — Thanksgiving and Agreement
I end my time of prayer by thanking God for the breakthroughs He is releasing and agreeing with the Father's heart on how the Kingdom is being extended through this person and their organization.
Why This Partnership Is Crucial
The leaders on the cutting edge of Kingdom expansion are on the frontlines. They need prayer partnership in an incredible way. By standing in the gap and lifting them up in prayer, we partner with God to bring about cultural reformation in every sphere of society.
Revelation 11:15 "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
The only way we will know how this happens is by proximity to the Father's heart — through long, loving times of intimate friendship with the Godhead. If you'd like to experience this kind of dedicated intercessory covering over your organization, a Kingdom Alignment Call is where that conversation begins.(https://coreign.net/call)
One of the most powerful and impactful areas of missional outreach is the marketplace. Everyone works somewhere. And it is in these environments that the Kingdom of God is advancing — one covered leader at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly happens during a Co·Reign intercession session for a CEO partner?
A typical Co·Reign intercession session includes: entering God's presence through worship, using sanctified imagination to envision God's purposes for the organization, praying and declaring over the CEO's company, team, and family, discerning the prayers Jesus is already praying and agreeing with them, engaging in spiritual warfare for protection, and closing with thanksgiving. The session results in a written ADVISE Report delivered to the leader.
What is a sanctified imagination and how is it used in intercession?
Sanctified imagination is the Spirit-led ability to envision what God's will looks like in a specific situation — not wishful thinking, but prophetic alignment with Heaven's purposes. In intercession, it means asking God, "What do you see for this organization?" and declaring what the Holy Spirit reveals. Since we are made in the image of God and the root word of imagination is "image," our Spirit-led imagination is one of the primary channels through which God communicates His strategies.
How does Co·Reign deliver insights from their intercession to marketplace leaders?
Co·Reign delivers a written ADVISE Report to each partner — a structured prophetic document that includes Scripture-anchored insights, declarations, and specific prayer focuses for the leader's current season. Reports are organized for the pace of a busy executive and are designed to confirm what God is already speaking to the leader rather than introduce something foreign.
