Prayer Topic, "Outcomes"


Join Us in Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of Concern for the week of 4/24/15 - 4/30/15

 

 

Outcomes

Millennials, the generation born between 1980 and 2000, have been accused of being lazy – but what generation hasn’t? By nature and through readily accessible technology, Millennials expect “efficiency of effort for maximum impact”…in other words, the best outcome with the least work.

No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
I Corinthians 12:3

Robert A. Heinlein’s story, “The Man Who Was Too Lazy to Fail,” tells of an enterprising hero charged with milking cows. He didn’t enjoy being up at dawn, but he’d been told it was the time of day cows required milking. This Millennial-thinking guy soon discovered cows didn’t actually care about the time of day; they cared only about frequency and results. Ultimately, he had the cows’ schedule and a successful business on his terms.

Coming generations will have to overcome a cultivated tendency to do things in their own way to understand God’s plan for their salvation – because there is no other way to know God than through His risen Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, pray that Holy Spirit will move upon America’s future leaders so they will be open to welcoming God’s way to know Him, submitting their lives and the nation they will lead to the power of the risen Lord…the very best outcome of all.

Prayer Topic, "When is Soon?"


Join Us in Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of Concern for the week of 4/17/15 - 4/23/15

 

 

 When is Soon?

Christian author Tim LaHaye wrote in a recent book, “Christ could come today, and no prophecy of the end times necessary for His coming would go unfulfilled.” In His discourse at the Mount of Olives, Jesus outlined many of the essentials that would precede His return – and He cautioned that the time would be soon. For over 2,000 years, believers have been asking, “How soon is soon?” and the answer the Lord gives today is the same as it was then: “Stay awake!”

Therefore, stay awake.
Matthew 24:42

A rehashing of the signs of the end times isn’t necessary – you are living it! Ready, on the other hand, does not seem to be an apt description of what was gloriously once called “Christian America.” Readiness first requires repentance and faith…acknowledgment and sorrow for sin and belief that Jesus died and rose again to save sinners. Only then is a person positioned to go about the business of sharing the message of God’s love.

Don’t be an asleep-in-your-comforts Christian. Stay watchful so as not to be deceived or robbed of your faith. But don’t be in a panic, either. Live out your salvation by pursuing the power of prayer for your family, friends, community, and national leaders…while “soon” still delays.

Prayer Topic, "Astonishing Abandonment "


Join Us in Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of Concern for the week of 4/10/15 - 4/16/15

 

 

Astonishing Abandonment

The Romans were known for their brutality to those they conquered, but they also imposed harsh penalties upon miscreants in their own ranks. Topping the list was “fustuarium,” a particular method of capital punishment reserved for soldiers who deserted their units. This was administered by the deserter’s own legion; they would fall upon the man and beat him to death with a cudgel.

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ.
Galatians 1:6

This savagery was no doubt on the mind of the apostle Paul when he wrote with astonishment that the Galatian Christians were blithely deserting the faith for false gospels. Unlike the Romans, whose justice was meted out with unwavering ruthlessness, Christ offered grace and mercy to all. But Paul cautioned that forsaking the true gospel was no small matter, and that those who preached deceit would be cursed.

Today in America, “false gospels” are epidemic – and producing great clouds of confusion and tumult. But today, pray that you may be an example and testimony to the love of the One, the Only, Jesus to those who need to trust Him as Lord. This is your duty as a soldier of Christ!

Prayer Topic, "From Foe to Friend" and "Choices Have Consequences"


Join Us in Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of Concern for the week of 4/3/15 - 4/9/15

 

 

From Foe to Friend

“For sheer verbal savagery,” writes biographer Ron Chernow, the presidential contest between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams “may have surpassed anything seen today.” In the 1800 campaign, Jefferson claimed Adams was a “hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.” Adams responded that Jefferson was a “mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father.”

And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted…and the angels were ministering to him.
Mark 1:13

Both eventually became president, and years later they began a warm correspondence and became best friends. How could this happen? In a word – empathy. Each suffered the rigors of the presidency and had survived to become part of a small, exclusive club.

However you may be tempted or tested today, Jesus understands. He has been there. He is ready, with His angels, to minister to you. And when you emerge from the wilderness of adversity, you will be equipped to befriend and serve others. As you pray today, ask God how you might be used to draw others in America to Him so that they will trust Him as Lord.

Choices Have Consequences

Perhaps no other people on the face of the Earth have had as many opportunities to hear the truth about Jesus than Americans. There are over 450,000 churches in the U.S., 600 religious radio stations, and all manner of Christian publishing, music recording and even billboards. But how many Americans can genuinely say they’ve had the all-important salvation-giving encounter with the Lord of the universe?

Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done.
Matthew 11:20

Some of the people in the six cities that Jesus decried in Matthew 11 probably thought of themselves as good, charitable, decent people – but they were the same in their spiritually darkened hearts. Too many Americans are in the same boat as the people in Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum…cold toward God. Jesus Himself gave a stern warning: choices always have consequences.

Please pray today for Americans to return to the nation’s spiritual roots, to the claims of the risen Christ on their lives, and to choose repentance over their rebellious hearts. Heed the message yourself, and warn others of the serious results awaiting those who reject Jesus. Be sure to include the leaders of the country in your intercession.
