1Co 11:31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged.
Oh Father, We hate the sin we see about us. But within, we allow sin to stay, whether intentionally or not. Help us to judge our own hearts now. Your Word says judgement begins at the house of the Lord. Cleanse us and cleanse this land from fearful and hideous sin. Turn our hearts.
1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lord we know you only wait for the return of the sinner.
Luk 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.
Luk 15:19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants."'
Luk 15:20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
I feel overwhelmed when I think of the wickedness and the lies which mount up to heaven. Help us Lord and send your Holy Spirit to revive this nation and silence the enemy...
Dear Precious People,
So here's the thing.......
It would be easy to get behind a political solution to Godless liberalism in this country, but I don't think that a political party is directly the answer. (I am not advocating abandoning civic and political activity)
In Jesus' day, the Jews were looking for a Messiah who would be a political solution to the Roman occupation and they missed Him in their very midst.
Even now, our country has missed Jesus for a large part, and so I think that we need to ask the Lord to do a NEW thing in this land to return us to the good old way......Alexis deToqueville said in 1839 that America was great because America was good...(which overlooks the ugly blight of slavery at that time)...we're talking OLD. They were not, as a nation, ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ at that time.
My heart is prostrate because of this matter.
I am glad we are all praying together. We mustn't give up, or wear out.
Jer 6:16 Thus says the LORD: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'
If 9/11 wasn't enough to make a lasting impression, we must pray hard that the Lord won't need to apply stronger chastening.
Let it be this way, Lord....
Act 2:36 Let all the house of Israel (here substitute America) therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
Act 2:37 Now when they heard this they were CUT TO THE HEART, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
In Jesus' Name
