As We Pray, So Goes the Nation

October 2008

Many eyes in the world are focused on the USA as we determine who will become our 44th President.  This nation was founded on the principles of God's Word.  As I have traveled to over 60 countries, I have met many who dream of visiting the USA.  I am bombarded with questions about this country which they have heard about, read about or seen in the movies, but most of them know that there is something different about this God blessed country.

Before sin entered the world, God gave Adam the authority to name all the animals which He had just created.  After sin, Adam lost that authority.  In our own lives and families, we have the decision to be free and take the authority God ordained or live a life where we do not allow God to be in control.

As a people of the USA, we must get on our knees and repent as individuals, families, churches, organizations and take back the authority which God gave us when He created man.  Yes, economics are tough and there is tension in the air.  Yet God has placed in our hands the choice to access His peace, joy, resources and presence through prayer and His Word.  As our family prays each morning around the kitchen table, it sets the tone in our household for the day.  We acknowledge God's authority in our home.

After just completing my second 40 day fast, I learned again how very big our God is.  Prayers were answered which only God could possibly do, marriages were restored, resources were provided for Kingdom building goals, and much more.

"Father, heal the brokenness in our nation and our world. Return us to a people who know and experience the authority which You ordained during creation.  Thank You for a group of people who make it possible for this ministry to reach hundreds of lost people for You every day.  Thank You for the JESUS Film teams around the world making Your earth more like You created it by telling the story of JESUS.  Amen."

As we pray for the USA during this election, may we pray for the world to see and know JESUS.

Blessings,

P.S. GLORY BE TO GOD!!  In August and September we requested that you consider a donation for a projected $300,000 budget shortfall this fiscal year. God worked through letters, emails, and phone calls. This prompted many regular gifts to be given in September as well as the shortfall gifts. A year ago, September income was $199,000.  This past month, our income was over $433,000!!!  This means that we will be closing this fiscal year’s books with $16,000 MORE income than was budgeted!!  We PRAISE GOD for this and we thank you for your faithfulness.
