We believe that America must have a Spiritual Awakening – it is our only HOPE! Almighty God’s intervention into our lives through PRAYER is the answer, and not governments’ rules and regulations. The greatest sign of this awakening is genuine repentance. A turning away from those lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes and the selfish pride of our lives. This is our choice as a nation, trust God or trust in our own way of doing things.

Heavenly Father, we as a nation have sinned against You. We have disregarded Your Commandments. We have abused Your Creation and we have taken for granted Your Provision in our lives. We have legalized things in our country that other nations in the past have been judge for doing as not God’s Way. Lord God, have MERCY upon us!  Pardon and Deliver us we pray. Restore a sense of Your Righteousness and Your Holiness to everyone  that agrees with this prayer. We simply ask that Your Lord God Almighty, would HEAL OUR LAND!   Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is  Act 8:17-23

When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them {Peter and John} money and said, "Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."

Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. For I see that you are full of bitterness and held captive {strangled by debt} to sin."

Ladies and Gentlemen, the command of the Lord to REPENT is just as important to the believer as it is to the non-believer. Two things that the Lord our God requires – Love God with all of your heart, soul, and strength AND love your neighbor as you would love yourself.  Whoever owes a debt is a slave to that debt. Whoever commits a sin is a slave to that sin.

The Apostle John tells us in his book of Revelations that People of God:

I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested by those who say they are apostles and they are not, and you have found them to be liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My Name's sake and have not become weary in doing the right things. Nevertheless I have this charge against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lamp stand from its place--unless you repent {turn around and stop doing the lusts of the flesh, lust of eyes and the pride of your life}.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God."   Rev 2:2-7

Amen and Amen!
