It is time that we pray for our nation, and even the world. We must pray and stay close to God in order to prosper in these hard times. The future is somewhat unpredictable especially for the people on an individual level. One thing stands true during all of this - Gods Word. While the future may seem hopeless for our country, keep your eyes on the future that is coming and do not stray from your path. While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV
With the downfall of America's economic standing money is becoming the issue most talked about. Business's are going out of business or being forced to cut corners with the quality of their good or service. There is not enough money to even pay back what we owe and cover our greediness. Remember Hebrews 13:5, Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Praise God for all He has given you and if you have a need, trust in the Lord to fulfill that need. Keep God's Word in your heart always. Listen to it everyday and truly believe what He says and that you have received his blessing and you shall have it. Pour all your heart and all your trust in God, NOT the government.
Remember right now, the government is broke. God is not broke, never has been broke and never will be. If you are not a believer of Jesus Christ and you are standing on the power of money I want you to re-examine your faith in the "money god" right now. The value of the American dollar is decreasing in value and will eventually be just paper of no value whatsoever. When this happens where will you turn when you can't buy food? Know that God supplies all needs to those who love him and obey his commands. To love him, means to worship him. You can't worship him and money. Mathew 6:24 says "... You cannot serve both God and Money." I am not telling you to go burn all your cash right now, because I fully agree that money is a necessity in our modern life but, how far you take that idea is what matters. God is a provider to all his children. He will provide even for our financial needs because He knows our needs, even before we ask Him. (He just wants you to trust Him to provide for you, so ask Him first.) Does the government know your individual needs much less care about them? I would like to pray for all of you who are still in denial about this "money god".
"Lord, God of mercy, God of giving and everlasting life, I pray now for everyone around the world that is being deceived, and has a distorted view of this age. God I pray that you will send your angels down to blow the clouds from their skies and show them your great power. I pray that they will come to realize it is you who provides for their needs, and it doesn't come in the form of a plastic card or piece of paper. Comfort is within you Lord and the only way to prosperity during our hardships is with you leading us. God I pray for these people that they have a change in mind and want to change their lives. I pray that the greediness and love of money turns to passionate love for our one and only Savior. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ."
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MY MESSAGE THE WRONG WAY! I AM NOT SAYING MONEY IS NOT USEFUL. I AM SIMPLY SAYING "IT ISN'T EVERYTHING" Wealth doesn't always come in the form of money. I count wealth as having a wonderful family and being so close to God. I do not ever desire to be rich of money. I desire to be rich with love. I pray all of you come to that feeling as well. Remember when you are in need, even a financial need God will provide for his children as long as you have faith that he will.
Don't forget to pray for the other nations around the world. We should pray for the unbelievers to have a change in heart and come to Christ as well as pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isaiah 62:6-7 NKJV. Israel is close to God's heart and is linked with the second coming of Christ. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south. Zechariah 14:4 NKJV
Pray for president Obama that he will ask God for wisdom to run this country. That he will change his mind on where he stands on the abortion debate, and not approve it. We need every child we can in heaven. Pray that he get's guided by the Holy Spirit and keeps in mind the needs of the people that have elected him. Pray that he doesn't get prideful and think he is above all else. Pray that he is humble when making decisions. Even if you didn't vote for President Obama, we are still told to support our leaders, and the way we can do this is by praying for them. Today would be a good day to start if you haven't already.
We need to bring about a world-wide prayer movement. There is power in prayer and with the masses praying, mountains will move!!!
