I love America and thank God that while He could have put me anywhere on the planet, He chose America as my temporary earthly home. However, as I look across our nation and take note of the deception, division, violence, and sexual immorality, I’ve come to one conclusion. We desperately need another spiritual awakening in this nation! What the Scriptures call moral rot has filled this land. We need more than better policies and laws. It’s time for some unusual prayer. It’s time to become more intentional in leading people to salvation through Jesus. For the sake of people headed for the dungeons of the damned, an eternity in hell, we need revival. We, the Church, stand at a crossroads. What will we do? It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize our elected officials, the Church, and each other, but it will accomplish nothing. 

This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ – Jer. 6:16

The greatest danger for America is not a virus, climate change, cyberattacks, or the terrorists on the outside, but the moral rot and wickedness within the country—
pornography, adultery, violence, sexual perversion, greed, deception, prayerlessness, and hypocrisy. At the heart of every sin is a rejection of God’s authority. 

When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability. -Proverbs 28:2

The Church is the only one that has the cure to America’s most profound problems. Who else can set people free from years of bondage? Who else can offer eternal life? Who else can transform hearts and lives? As followers of Christ, this is our time to rise to the occasion. The hope for America starts with these words taken from 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people…” (that’s you and me)! It’s our time to pray and to represent the Kingdom of God on the earth every day! 

Will you join me in prayer on Wednesdays at 7:00pm? Together, let’s write a new future through our prayers for our lives, this region, and our nation. 

Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son. We pray for our leaders in America—our local, state, national leaders, judicial, legislative, and executive leaders. We plead the blood of Jesus over them and their families. We ask you to direct the hearts and minds of our leaders according to Proverbs 21:1 that says the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord, and you direct it like a stream of water. May they make decisions based on your will and your plans for this country. Surround our leaders with godly counselors that will agree with your Word. Lord, we ask you to remove from positions of authority those who stubbornly oppose righteousness. Replace them with men and women who will follow your plans for our schools, cities, states, and our nation. Your kingdom come, and your will be done! 

I love you, and thank God that we are in this together!
