AMERICA, WAKE UP AND PRAY

2 Chronicles 7:12-14 “The Lord appeared to

him at night and said: ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this

place for myself as a temple for sacrifices. When I shut up the

heavens so that there is no rain, or command

locusts to devour the land or send a plague

among my people, 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 will

I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin

and will heal their land.’”

GOD SENDS PESTILENCE UPON HIS REBELLIOUS

PEOPLE.

In order to bring His people to their senses, God sends difficulties

into their lives as a nation.

How could we expect God not to judge

America?

And hasn’t He gotten our attention?

Financially

Oil Supply

War.

Terrorism.

Liberalism.

Socialism.

Bureaucracy.

And who is going to get us out of this?

WHO?

GOD’S PEOPLE MUST RETURN TO HIM.

If we are to save our nation, then the people of

God have to slay four enemies of revival:

We have to slay PRIDE.

We have to slay PRAYERLESSNESS

and SELFISH PRAYING.

James 4:2-3: “You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask,

you do not receive,

because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get

on your pleasures.”

We have to slay BAD PRIORITIES.

We have to slay PRESUMING ON GOD’S GRACE.

Charles Finney, a great evangelist, defined

revival as “Nothing else than a new beginning of

obedience to God.”

GOD’S PEOPLE MUST PRAY FOR THEIR

COUNTRY.

James 5:16- “The prayer of a righteous man is

powerful and effective.”
