Decades ago, when God called us to move to a nation where Christians are persecuted and share the good news with the lost, powerful prayer warriors joined us on that journey. Many were elderly. They couldn’t work, but they had been through the fire and they could pray!
They prayed day and night. And God moved powerfully because of their faithful prayers.
They fought for the lost, and many were saved. They built a shield of protection around us so we didn’t fall in battle. They prayed us to safety when we had to flee. An unreached people group now has heard the good news and has His Word in their language because they prayed.
What would happen if each of us glancing at this post rose up today, right now, to say, “Yes, Lord. I will fight! I will pray for this nation and pray for the world. I will put down my distractions, lay down my idols, bow at Your feet and pray for Your kingdom to come….” ?
Lord, where are the prayer warriors? Where are the ones who fervently pray for the things of Your heart? We have been so easily distracted by busyness, social media, work and the things of this world. Raise up Your army of prayer warriors to fight for this nation. May we cry out to You day and night to lift every cloud of darkness over our government, our cities, our families, our schools, our homes, our minds and our hearts. Invade. Now. Every corner. Every circumstance. Every home. Every office. Every heart. Every dream. Every thought. Push out the darkness with Your light. Open our eyes to see You as You truly are and surrender wholeheartedly to You.
We need Jesus. We need freedom. We need Truth. We need You, God, to overthrow the enemy, and overflow us with Your Spirit. To fill us with the fullness of Love. To give us compassion for those who are hurting. To give us courage to stand up and fight. And the way we fight is with our prayers. Our prayers DO matter. We can’t see what’s happening in the heavenly realms, but we know that You, God, are calling us now to pray. To stand up and cry out to the God that we love, the One who created us and brought this nation into being for the very purpose of having freedom to worship God.
We cry out to the One who built this nation on faith to now bring back that faith. Whatever hope has been lost, renew it now, Lord. Wherever faith has drowned in the midst of fear and violence and hatred and tragedy, renew our faith now, Lord. We need You. Rise up, O God, and show yourself Strong. Bring forth miracles and signs and wonders from Your hand. Do not hide Your power and glory from us. Pour out Your love like a flood, overflowing this whole nation and world, pushing out evil and cleansing every heart, setting us free to worship the One we were created for. For we have lost ourselves in the midst of the mess. We have lost our purpose. We have forgotten the God we love. Remind us, Lord, quickly. Now. Revive Your church. Save the lost. Bring forth a great Awakening in this country, with millions surrendering to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
