50% Trust Government More than Church!


Be AWARE!

How does this affect The Church? Where is the outrage as Chinese House Churches are under attack and Christian persecution advances in Nigeria, Iran, Afghanistan, Uganda and Egypt at historic levels?

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands you sinners and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” James 4: 7-8


Jesus we come to our Father through You with awe and wonder of the courts of heaven.  Here we submit to You our God. Help us Abba recognize and resist our enemy and be free of his tactics.  We approach You and linger, listening, awaiting Your presence. We repent seeking purity and single minded hearts through the shed blood of Jesus. Lord here we devote ourselves to You again. AMEN

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. There we will not fear though the earth give way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.” Psalm 46:1-3 

 

Gracious Almighty God our Father, we declare You are everlasting, that no thing on earth surprises You.  We call upon Your very present help in our days of trouble on the land and with the people. You are never anxious, always alert to what is coming and presently upon 

us.  Days of hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes, droughts and any form of intense weather or human ungodliness You are fully aware.  We ask Your active intervention for the saving of lives as Joseph believed in Genesis.  More so, beloved LORD we ask for saving of souls, that intense activities draw souls to You for salvation.  Jesus our Advocate and Mediator we ask in Your Name. AMEN

Look to Jesus in the Face of Christian Nationalism

  

 

As the media continues to marginalize and persecute Christian beliefs by weaponizing the label “CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM” CHRISTIANS ARE LOOKING TO THE FACE OF JESUS!

 

"Christian Nationalism" is a new label used against believers in Christ by being involved in public areas like the government. education and media. God does not separate out our walk with Him in the church walls nor in  all other facets of life. Christians must take their faith and knowledge of God to all parts of life. May the LORD give us great courage, valor with His virtues in these appointed days to represent Him in the earth.

 

 

“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.” 

2 Corinthians 2: 14-15

 

Let’s PRAY for those around us:

  • With a pure heart

  • Humbly

  • With a repentant heart 

  • Extending, Mercy, Grace & His love

 

 

Help us our Father to keep our eyes focused on you, with strength and boldness!! We pray that as we serve others, that we reflect YOUR love, mercy and grace given to us and extended to those around us who are suffering through this horrible devastating Hurricane IAN, without hope. Dear Lord Jesus, allow us to be that sweet aroma to the many who are perishing, as we all reach up and out as we ourselves spend time DAILY in your presence.


Become a ReadyChristian to stand for the Hope of Christ in the midst of persecution.


Rev Lois Blei

CEN National Prayer Deputy
