When Will The Church Pray?

When will the people of God's church pray?

When this once great nation is fallen?

When it's people are completely broken?

When war enters its land?

When all freedom is stripped away?

When all we have left is God and Him alone?

When will we pray for revival in our churches, cities, states and nation?

When we are no longer legally allowed to?

When our sons and daughters are exiled into slavery across the earth?

When we have so completely sold ourselves out to this world that there's nothing left to turn to?

When will GOD's people wake up and realize the time and generation that they live in?

When will God's people ARISE?

We must stand as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah did in their day and consecrate ourselves before the Lord, and ask for the ability to perceive and gain revelation and knowledge!  Perception is the rarest commodity of all - an understanding of the day and time in which one lives.  That is what we need in our day and time.

2008 is the "year of new beginnings."  Most people would agree that "new beginnings" is a good thing, when the Lord's people would return to their Lord and revival would be poured out in America.  But what if the Lord has a different plan?  What if "new beginnings" means that this nation must end and another must arise?  Don't think for one second that America is any different than any other great nation in history.  We are long overdue for a power-shift in the nations today, and America can fall in a single day from the judgements of God.  Israel saw it in her great day, and Jeremiah warned her for years during peace and prosperity.  When the people did not listen, everything shifted in a single day, and Babylon overtook her in the blink of an eye!  Only four people in all of Israel listened to Jeremiah, and did not bow to false gods when the King of Babylon told them to.

When Katrina came and wiped out New Orleans, America was nearly overwhelmed, and could not even come to that city's aid.  It was the church that sent laborers and workers to aid in the relief.  How much more will America suffer when earthquakes and tremors and violent storms shake this nation in every area everywhere?  California is 20 years overdue for a great earthquake that has shaken them every 40 years since as long as this nation remembers.  The thing with earthquakes is that they continually build up pressure until it's finally released - how much more when it's 20 years overdue?  There have been prophecies concerning this and many other natural disasters - a great earthquake in the midwest, floods and hurricanes and violent storms.  How much more will America suffer if she can't contain her own borders from the vengeance of God?  How much more open will she be to attacks from her countless enemies if she's busy attending to her own wounds?  I have heard from many numerous people that 2008 is our final call for revival, our final waiting for the outpouring of the Spirit.  If we do not consecrate ourselves with fasting and intercession, we may have as little as 5 months before these disasters start pouring out.  America could no longer be a world power by the end of this year.

Israel has America as its closest ally.  The trouble is, Israel is now bowing down to the gods of the western world (i.e. "sex, drugs and rock & roll").  Our God is a jealous God, and He will not share His Holy Temple with this idolatry.  If America is partially responsible for leading God's chosen people astray, how much more will His wrath be poured out upon us?  When will the people of this nation wake up and realize that we are in the FINAL HOUR?  We are in the most important time of our nation, that will literally decide our future.  If we don't stand now, who will?  When will the Jeremiahs start proclaiming in the streets for this nation to turn to the Lord?  When will the Daniels stand up and not make concessions with darkness?  When will the Davids seek after the heart of the Lord and call upon His name?  When will this nation pray to the God of Heaven and Earth, repent of its transgressions, and ask the Lord to send revival to this land?  It's time for us to pray.

The Lion and The Stream

"Are you not thirsty?" said the Lion
"I'm dying of thirst," said Jill.
"Then drink," said the Lion.
"May I—could I—would you mind going away while I do?,” said Jill.
The Lion answered this only by a look and a very low growl. And as Jill gazed at its motionless bulk, she realized that she might as well have asked the whole mountain to move aside for her convenience.
The delicious rippling noise of the stream was driving her nearly frantic.
“Will you promise not to—do anything to me, if I do come?,” said Jill.
“I make no promise,” said the Lion.
Jill was so thirsty now that, without noticing it, she had come a step nearer.
“Do you eat girls?,” she said
“I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms,” said the Lion. It didn’t say this as if it were boasting, nor as if it were sorry, nor as if it were angry. It just said it.
“I daren’t come and drink,” said Jill.
“Then you will die of thirst,” said the Lion.
“Oh dear!,” said Jill, coming another step nearer. “I suppose I must go and look for another stream then.”
“There is no other stream,” said the Lion.

The Mountain

"Here on the mountain I have spoken to you clearly: I will not often do so down in Narnia. Here on the mountain, the air is clear and your mind is clear; as you drop down into Narnia, the air will thicken. Take great care that it does not confuse your mind. And the signs which you have learned here will not look at all as you expect them to look, when you meet them there. That is why it is so important to know them by heart and pay no attention to appearances. Remember the signs and believe the signs. Nothing else matters."

The Silver Chair
Chapter 2

When it comes down to it, the only thing that matters is faith. Child-like faith. With faith you can move mountains. With faith you can walk through the grocery store, find someone with a blind eye, pray for them, and watch it heal before your own eyes. With faith, you can give someone a prophetic word from the Lord and watch their lives change instantly. With faith you can discern spirits and cast them out of people and free them from bondage. With faith you can discern the Spirit and communicate with the Lord. With child-like faith. Remember the signs and believe the signs. Nothing else matters.
