2 Chronicles 7:14 – 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, I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land. – thank you Jesus for your forgiveness.

Wow. Thank you for speaking to me last night in song, Lord, that was such a gift. You are so kind and loving. Please continue to work in our leaders. Please continue to make them crave you and honor you in all they do. Please protect them against the enemy’s attacks. Please help us be great employees. I feel like the last 4 years have been a great job interview. Has the persecution ignited a passion for you, Jesus? Apparently it has – for actions are greater than words. We were hired. Now that we are hired, the work is just beginning. Will we remain faithful? Now that YOU showed up for us, will we remain faithful – or fall back into sin like the Israelites? No, Lord, the work is just beginning. We must remain on our knees in prayer for revival in our country. We must pray for protection for our representatives, our church leaders, our families that we would be protected from the attacks of the enemy. For our battle is not of this world, but of the principalities and the powers and the spirits in the air. Evil is not happy with this decision – with this Godly display of faithfulness that has swept our nation – from the mouths of babies – two young men, who were used by you LORD, you used young men, who were bold and willing to be persecuted to declare that YOU alone are KING, YOU alone are worthy of all glory and honor and praise. YOU will not be blasphemed – we LOVE you Jesus!

Yes, Lord, we need your help to remain faithful. Help our unbelief, help us remain on our knees and help us do the next right thing for you. Thank you for being so merciful and kind to us – we have been terrible children who deserved all the pain and suffering we have received for the last 4 years. You have chased us and taught us that You are our only answer. We surrender our lives to you and we are thankful to have found YOU once again. May joy spread across the nation. Even to those who blasphemed you Lord. Please give them eyes that can see, ears that can hear and help them seek you. May your people be humble, kind and so full of humility. May we reach out to those who feel lost and terrified today. May we show them your light and your love. You are the answer to their fears, you are the reason for joy and kindness. Cover this nation with comfort today Lord, like only you can. You are to be glorified today Lord, we praise you and rejoice in your name alone! Thank you for protecting your children, your babies, the innocent lives that have suffered. Please put a bubble of protection around them now Lord, please make that the mission – to heal what has been broken, to unite families and draw people closer and closer to you Jesus. We love you with a brand new passion – because of YOU. El Shaddai
