While this is the darkest time in our nation’s history, the light is beginning to rise. I consistently meet people who are praying with others for revival in this land, and who assure me they are also praying in their own “prayer closet” for revival. This is encouraging because, as one great man of God stated it:
“When God intends great mercy for His people, the first thing He does is set them a-praying.”
(Matthew Henry, as quoted by Miles Bennet at http://www.liftupusa.com/pquotes.htm)
After many years in the ministry, it seems to me that the greatest “grace-ometer” (as C.H. Spurgeon said it) of the church is its prayer meeting. You can tell what God is up to in a church by how many people are fervently praying for Him to settle among them and do whatever He wants to do.
So, with the growing darkness in our land, how should we be praying? While it would be usurping the Holy Spirit’s leadership to, in detail, tell someone how to pray about a specific thing, there is Continue reading
In 1857-58 God came in revival in this nation in a remarkable way. A businessman named Jeremiah Lanphier started a noonday prayer meeting in New York City.

The left-wing looters have now burned our American Flag; and even WORSE, they have burned Bibles along with it!! To any citizen who believes in any semblance of decency, it has to be obvious that these rioters are simply Communist pawns who are out to destroy this Republic and replace it with dictatorial government. A government that is a true republic has to be based on the moral law of the Bible, which is summed up in the Ten Commandments. A Communist-type government hates that law, because God’s law insists that we treat our neighbor as one who is created in the image of God. Hence our Declaration of Independence states,
With more disrespect being shown to our flag, even within our own borders, it would do us well to revisit our heritage! Fort McHenry (where in 1812 a battle raged which inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star Spangled Banner) was named after a man who served as a medical soldier in George Washington’s army, and later signed the U.S. Constitution. His name was James McHenry. While unknown to us today, James McHenry was one of those men who laid such a firm foundation for America that during the 1800s it would grow to become the greatest nation on earth. James McHenry got
