PRAYER FOR AMERICA, PART 1
Sunday, September 16th, 2012
These are some of the darkest days, for the greatest country in the world to ever exist. America and Freedom, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, are under literal assault from the forces of hell worldwide. Now, almost hourly, we receive news of more violence against military personnel, embassies and while the corrupt American mainstream media will not publicize it – Christians are more in danger around the world than ever before.
So what are God’s people on this continent – in the US and Canada – to do? After we get riled up at the video on TV or the internet of the rioting, mayhem and more, we go to the Lord. Abba Father. We cry out to Jehovah Nissi, our Standard Bearer. A Standard Bearer goes before us in battle, carrying the flag (or banner or standard) and tells those who are our enemies, who we are. When God the Father, is your standard bearer, we have the added benefit of knowing WHOSE we are! Amen!
DON’T JUST PRAY FOR REVIVAL..ACT…An Exhortation by Deb Burton and Bernie Lutchman

Deb Burton
Revival is just a word…
I’ve prayed, and others have prayed…. “Send a revival Lord, please!!!”
But not a lot has happened, in terms of what revival means…
What does it mean?
There are three aspects:
1] Souls to be saved…
2] Sinners to change their hearts…
3] Saints to emerge… for the complacent, defeated, self focused to begin to turn their hearts and pray!
GOD IS ALWAYS WILLING TO SEND A REVIVAL!
Revival depends on us…
It depends on us praying the right prayer, with the right attitude, for the right length of time…
What is the right prayer?
I finally asked God! And I felt something, a deep yearning, crying inside to come out… And at a church, the word came to me – “Life!” Simple? Enormous!!!
So don’t just pray “send a revival Lord!”, unless you are praying and desiring for these things to take place in your life!
PRAY for SOULS!
PRAY for SINNERS!
PRAY for SAINTS!
Then you will have the revival your heart longs for…
And don’t forget to say -“Start it in me!”

Are you being Real?
Are you ready to Return to the Lord (Hosea 6:1-2)?
Are you ready to Renounce your sins (put away the old things)?
Are you ready to now RENEW your heart?
Are you ready for Repentance?
If you are all these things —-Restoration, Reconciliation and Rejoicing are YOURS!
Revival is not a rootin-tootin Tent meeting with fire and brimstone even though this is a great thing too! It’s great for a church and/or community to have these things as it fires up the body of Christ. However, TRUE revival, as you can see from the above “Are you….?” is about reviving your spirit and your love and passion for God. When each individual walks in this anointing, then an entire church or town can be in Revival mode!!!
None of what I have written conflicts with Deb’s inspirational exhortation above. What it does is seek to create the foundations of personal revival to go about the Kingdom business Deb talks about above. This is the business of preaching the Gospel, planting seeds and bringing many to a saving knowledge of Christ!! AMEN!
