One of the truly wonderful things that has happened as a result of living under perhaps the worst administration in the history of this nation, has been that God's people are praying as never before. At The Spoken Word Church we have had Friday Night prayer and morning prayer seven days a week for many years. Prayer and teaching and training believers to be bright lights in and to the world has always been our vision and calling. Many other churches are now doing similar things. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says this:
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. KJV
The word "humble" here is the Hebrew word "kana`", which means: to be under subjection. That simply means that we recognize the Sovereignty of God and submit to His authority. As New Covenant believers we know that when we confess our sin, He forgives us of that sin and then cleanses us from all unkown sin. When we stand in the gap for our nation and confess the sins of the nation, God has promised here to forgive us and to heal our land. Notice that He says "My people"! That doesn't involve every American, but every believer. If YOU belong to Him, then pray for the nation! When God's people pray, standing on His Word, then He confirms that Word with signs that the unbelievers can see! There will be NO mistake Who HE is in this! Psalm 101:1 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today says this:
1 I WILL sing of mercy and loving-kindness and justice; to You, O Lord, will I sing.
Once we have prayed, then SING! Praise Him for what He is doing all across this nation right now! Some people have been saying that this may all be in God's plan for the End Times. That is probably true, but OUR responsibility has never changed! We are still to be the ones to pray and God will reveal His will in His time! Until He does, just keep up the good work and walk in His abundant BLESSING! He LOVES you AND this nation! Amen! Here is "Like Incense/Sometimes By Step" by Hillsong:
Shalom in Him!
