As a people we need to be united and stand together. What I propose is that we all fast breakfast and pray tomorrow at Either 6 AM or 7 AM (no matter where you are). We will pray for the following: -God to intervene and the government to rest upon God. -That God will change the hearts of the leaders and remove those who are against God and want to destroy our freedoms. -Pledge that this country will return to God, QUICKLY!
Who's in? Stop complaining and take action NOW!
I’m in...
Ok but let’s remember prayer is not supposed to make us feel good about doing nothing.
True...Remember, this is much bigger than all of us and as God did with Moses, at some point he will say “Put down your staff, stop praying and do as I said...”
I have ALREADY been praying to GOD for this very reason. I will also join in tomorrow at 6 am!
If not enough pray for divine intervention, God cannot inspire souls to take action.
I’m reminded what CS Lewis said, prayer doesn’t change God, it changes you. Jesus didn’t pray away the money changers in the temple. Prayer is important, but it isn’t a replacement for activism.
Added this note to my FB page and pinged all my Christian friends.
Thanks....God will make it clear what to do and what will happen.
Does mentally screaming “Oh G_d please help us!” all day count?
Yes....I know how you feel. I too am typically “act first, pray later”, but this is way too big for us and we need to seek God then go from there...Got it?
I feel so thoroughly beaten down lately that mentally screaming “Oh G_d please help us!” all day is just about all I can string together at this point.
We must first understand what went wrong the past eight years when God was supposed to have intervened.
Make no mistake, the nation is in darkness and we are the light of the world. But if the salt loses its saltiness, it’s no good.
So, pray tell, what went wrong?
Too many people compromised. Read the Old Testament and see (especially Hosea) that God is waiting for his people to turn to him. We choose, God or what we want. Pray we will and be united in God.
A complacent Christian....How does that help? Too many Christians have sat idly by counting their money and thinking other people will handle it. I have experienced that first hand in a case dealing with homosexuals infiltrating our schools. I was told to leave it alone it’s too big and just let it go!! This was Christians saying this. You know what me and my wife did....we prayed, prayed and prayed!
You know what happened, out of 1000 schools this was shown in, our district was the first to “shelf” this video. What’s even more amazing is we were one of the largest districts in their program in a state with the strongest teacher’s union! Coincidence or God? It was God....no doubt!
So, I for one, believe in the power of prayer. Say what you will...I am PRAYING and fasting because I believe God will take care of this!
