Dear Friend,
As Christians, we need to ask ourselves a couple of questions. Are we going to sit and watch our culture fall apart? Are we going to sit and watch our families disintegrate? Or are we going to do something to turn America to God?
The future of our culture is in the hands of Christians because the cause of our cultural demise is innately spiritual. And if a problem is spiritual, its cure must be spiritual as well. If we Christians are going to turn our nation to God, we’ve got to fall on our knees and our faces before God and pray. We need to not only talk about prayer, but pray. Not only agree on the importance of prayer, but pray. Not only preach on the power of prayer, but pray.
The promise of God found in 2 Chronicles 7:14 is an awesome promise. It reads, “ … and (if) My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
In this hallmark passage, God calls a nation to pray.
Prayer is earthly request for heavenly intervention. It is the tool and strategy that we have been given in order to pull something down out of the invisible and into the visible. Prayer enacts God’s hand in history like nothing else.
In the face of his nation’s ongoing cultural demise, Nehemiah didn’t sit down and write out a “Great Society” program for Jerusalem. He didn’t propose a Jerusalem “New Deal.” He fasted and prayed and sought God, and – in doing so – God revealed His strategy. God was able to reverse years of deterioration in just fifty-two days. This is because prayer saves time.
So let me ask you this: If you see something in our nation that is broken, is prayer the first thing you do, or the last thing you do? If it’s the last thing you do, more than likely, you will have wasted your time on anything else. If prayer comes last, then so will the solution to the problem.
God does not like being last.
If the church is going to help restore America, we can’t afford to keep putting Him last. Some other things are going to have to wait if we are going to turn our communities and nation around. Congregations are going to have to come together in a unified national solemn assembly (Joel 1:14) to repent and to throw ourselves before the face of Almighty God.
It is time to set our personal agendas, brands and voices aside and join together in a national solemn assembly to seek God’s heart and His hand on behalf of our land. If not now, when?
Will you join with us in praying for our nation – that God will raise up a band of believers to come together and seek His face in a national solemn assembly? To help you on this path, we want to send you a copy of my brand new book: America: Turning a Nation to God for your gift of any amount to the ministry. This book sets forth a clarion call for national revival and I want you to have a copy of it today! With your gift today, we will get it in your hands right away.
It’s time that we came together and sought God’s hand on behalf of America like never before!
For His kingdom,
Testimony Time
