The Power of Prayer

think the biggest thing we fight against in America is complacency.
My dictionary defines complacency this way, “self-satisfaction accompanied by unawareness of actual danger or deficiencies”.
satan wants us to be complacent.
We must take a stand for God! ... We have become complacent. ... Our nation does not do the Law of God.

I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. - Ezekiel 22:30

Right now, God is searching for people who will be an extension of Himself. He is looking for a people who are willing to stand in the gap before Him on behalf of the Nation.

We need people who are willing to give up their lives to intercede and pray. We must build up the wall of righteousness around this Nation and restore the things of God. God is calling out for His Church to become a house of prayer. We, as the people of God, must respond and devote our lives to intercession and prayer. We can no longer live for ourselves, and allow the house of God to lay in ruins as a result of our unfaithfulness and disinterest in the things of God.

Christianity has lost its power. We have become solely a people of morality. As great and necessary as morality is, it will not change the Nation. We need to become a people known for more than our morality; we need to become a people identified by the presence and power of God. We so desperately need to have God’s presence and power in our midst and in us. We must give the world what they do not have.

How do we get more of the presence and power of God? It is by prayer and intercession that God’s presence and power increases. It is vital that we, as believers, learn to pray and intercede for the Church, the Nation, and the overall increase of the power and presence of God.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14

God is still calling out for His people to pray and seek His face, and He remains faithful to His promise even now, if we choose to respond. Will you respond to the call to stand in the gap and bring healing to the Nation?
