KINGDOM PRAYER FOR THE NATION 6

Crunch Time

“For son dishonors father, daughter rises against her mother, daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own household.” (Micah 7:6)

“Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” (Luke 12:51-53)

Micah’s warning about households being divided was echoed by Jesus Christ’s own words. These warnings were not about ordinary arguments and disagreements. God does not always call us together to Him as a family. Division will surely arise when some members are called and submit while others in the same family are either not called or refuse to answer that call, and that will divide families. That is inherent in the free choice that God has given us. When we are called, we must choose to submit to that call or ignore it. That is the crux of the first part of 2 Chronicles 7:14. In submitting to the will of God, we are in essence giving up all control of our lives to God. There can be no more humbling action for us. But that is exactly what is required of us. Submit and obey.

This time next week, Pat and I will have completed the first of two prayer times in that little chapel in Lebanon, Kansas. God has placed it on my heart to go there and pray for the healing of our nation. We invite each of you to join us in prayer on that day. Not for us but for the healing of our nation. Our prayer is for the healing of our land and the people. All people, not just our family and friends. Not just our close neighbors and church members. ALL people!

I know that I am not the only one awakened to God’s call for Revival. Let us join in one accord so that God “will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land,” as 2 Chronicles 7:14 states at the end.

Be Blessed!

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)
