The word ‘PNEUMA’ is the Greek word meaning ‘spirit’ and points to the epicenter and core source of the strength and life of City at the Cross. PNEUMA is the gathering of City at the Cross as ‘one man’ to engage in the life and power of the Holy Spirit through governmental prayer, worship, and the strategic sending of various components of City at the Cross into kingdom activity.

Governmental Prayer is the warfare expression of the apostolic. An apostolic church not only prays, petitions, and intercedes, but declares and decrees the governmental will of God in the earth as it is prophetically discerned in the heavens. Governmental Prayer is the prayer of command, decree, faith, and accuracy.

The Wall is another vital component of PNEUMA. The Wall is comprised of men and women who have committed to prayer for 30 minute time slots throughout the day. This ‘wall’ of prayer is designed to enable the City to be built in spite of attacks. The key verses upon which The Wall is established are:

Nehemiah 4.9: “But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.”

Isaiah 62.6-7: “On your walls O Jerusalem (CATC), I have appointed watchmen; all day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves; and give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem (CATC) a praise in the earth.”

At PNEUMA, specific Battle Lines are given to the watchmen on the wall for that month ranging from local issues of health to global issues of kingdom advance in the nations of the earth.

City Global Funding Initiative is another life-component of PNEUMA. Each month men and women who are committed to the governmental prayer expression of City at the Cross also give of their finances for the advancement of City Global Community

CGCFI Values

Value 1: The unhindered execution of God-ordained global vision through obedient provision

1 Corinthians 9.9-11: “For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing.” God is not concerned about oxen, is He? Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops. If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

Value 2: The heart connection of PNEUMA and The Wall to a specific provision of a global vision

Philippians 4.16-19: “For even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Value 3: Sacrificial giving which releases abundant blessing

Ecclesiastes 11.1: “Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it after many days.”
