What can we do???

Spiritually Speaking...we, as a nation appear to be at a "Crossroads".  Some TV Ministries are saying that we are in or at least approaching, what is called,  "the end times",  and God is judging America for our sins.  Surely, as a nation, we have drifted away from the moral foundations of our Founding Fathers!

I don't think that God is judging individual believers in Christ Jesus, because Christ Jesus has already been judged for our sins.  We have been bought and paid for by the Blood of Jesus shed on the cross.  However, there is something called the law of sowing and reaping.  There are consequences for things we do, as individuals and, also as nations.  

Recently, Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has been on various TV programs promoting his new book.  A very compelling book entitled,  "The Harbinger".  He writes about the parallels between things happening in America and things that happened to ancient Israel.  Israel, before its destruction as a nation,  received nine harbingers, prophetic omens of warning. The same nine  harbingers are now manifesting in America—with immediate ramifications for end-time prophecy......

Taking these things into consideration, along with the National Presidential Debates....the state of our economy and those in authority over us.....WHAT can we do?

My husband taught a Bible Study last year and became very interested in "End Times". He has studied extensively the books of Daniel, Revelation, the Prophets, chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew and books by leading Christian authors concerning the "Last Days".

Recently, his heart has been drawn, back to Daniel, especially chapter 9, where Daniel, while in captivity prays for his people.  As he was wondering, "What can we do to keep God's favor and protection, because we have certainly gone astray from God's precepts?"  He felt led by the Holy Spirit to write a prayer for our Nation based on the prayer of Daniel.

If you would like to join us in prayer for our Country, please pray this prayer with us:

Prayer for the United States

O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him and who abide in Him, we as a nation, the people of the United States of America, have sinned and have committed iniquity against You.  We have turned from You and have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts, and by not heeding Your commands – that we love You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and that we love each other as we love ourselves.

O Lord, all righteousness belongs to You, but to us as a nation, shame of face for turning from Your precepts and Your commands.  We have failed to obey Your voice.

You have endowed to this nation since its inception a multitude of blessings, which include:  prosperity, freedom to speak our mind, and freedom to practice our faith.  But, we have strayed from You and forgotten that You are the source of all these blessings.  We have ignored Your protective hand upon us and have become, in our own hearts, self-reliant and self-important.  We have elected leaders who, in their hearts, do not consider Your counsel or command, and have no recognition of Your divine provision of these blessings upon us.

Yes, the United States as a nation has transgressed against You and has departed so as to not obey Your voice.  Therefore, the hedge of protection You have provided for us is in danger of being removed.  You have sent us harbingers to warn us to turn back to You and to heed Your commands, in recognition of our iniquities as a nation.  We have departed from You and have forgotten Your truth – that You are God, and that You rule in the kingdom of men and give to whom You will.

And now, O Lord God, who created our nation and has blessed us, we come to You this day and acknowledge that we as a nation have sinned against You by not obeying You, or considering You in our hearts.  We ask that You forgive our nation for its iniquities and help us to turn again toward You.  We ask that You raise up Godly men and women to rule our nation, who will not forget You and who will seek Your counsel in leading our nation to greatness once again.  We do not ask these things because of our own self-righteousness, but because of Your great love and mercy.

O Lord, hear us.  O Lord, forgive us.  O Lord, act and do not delay for Your own sake on behalf of this nation which You created to obey your voice, and to be blessed and be great, and to be a friend of Israel.  We, your people whom You have called, ask these things of You, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen.
