AMERICA: A NATION IN CRISIS
The pillars of American culture are all under attack … Family, Church, Education, Business, Government, Media, and Arts/Entertainment. The state of our nation is one of unrest. Serious people are asking, “Will freedom be lost on our watch? If things are this bad today, what will the future be like for the nation, my children and grandchildren?”
WHAT DOES GOD SAY TO A NATION IN CRISIS?
There are 31,103 verses in the Holy Bible. But only ONE verse in all of Scripture tells a nation “how” they can be healed! That is 2 Chronicles 7:14. We should note it is God speaking. These are HIS terms...and... they are non-negotiable.
“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 I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Recognition
Know that because you are a child of God you are part of the solution! As we look to God, He effects His sovereign purposes in concert with our prayers.
Humility
We must understand the severity of our nation’s crisis was brought about by our willful sin. As God’s people, we must abandon our arrogance and pride and mourn the sins of America, confessing them as our own.
Seek God’s Face
We do not have to persuade a reluctant God to revive us in this generation. The Blood of Jesus still cleanses from ALL sin. God’s heart is full of mercy. Believe in God’s forgiveness and receive His pardon and peace.
Do A 180
We must model to the world turning from our wicked ways. Ask God to restore His blessing and believe with all your heart that He will hear your prayer to forgive our sin and heal our land.
OUR RESPONSE TO AMERICA’S CRISIS:
WE WILL MEET GOD ON HIS TERMS. WE WILL PRAY, FIRST!
