Pray for the Church and Pray for the Country

   A new blog to encourage us to be praying for the church in America, as well as for our country. Many things are going on behind the scenes. We as human beings have a real enemy out there who would like to steal our freedom and ruin the church. God's word gives us insight into what is going on in the spiritual realm and how to use the spiritual weapons that God has provided us with. It is not enough to know the facts about what is going on, but we must take action. The main thing we need to be doing is to pray for our country and the church, as well as for our local churches and pastors. Prayer is not a waste of time. It is our way to connect with God. We are at a time when we need God's intervention in our lives and in the church. Without God, we are going to fail as a nation, and our children and grandchildren are going to suffer. They will be enslaved by the philosophy of the world, because of our apathy. Remember, whatever is not important to us, will be optional for our children. We are in a battle, whether we like it or not, and we have to fight. We risk losing the freedoms that God has given us. If we become enslaved, we will not be able to help other nations who are enslaved. We will not be able to help those who are under persecution. We will be under persecution ourselves, and if we really cherish the church, we will have to go underground and take great risks as we gather together in His name. Let's pray for the tide to turn back, as we repent and grow together as a body of related believers. Let's work together in love and unity until the Lord comes back for His bride.
