CALLING ALL GOD'S SAINTS.... TO A DAY OF GLOBAL FASTING & PRAYER:
JUNE 1, beginning at Midnight, wherever you are... a day of fasting and prayer. Let those of us who are called by His Name humble ourselves and repent for our sins and those of our nation. Let us seek God's Face. Let us turn from our wicked ways (e.g. apathy about standing against evil and wickedness, according to God's Word). Let us do this all around the world -- SO PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE. It is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14: Then God will hear us, forgive our sins, and heal our land.
..... AND, at any time, but especially JUNE 1...
Please join me in saying Daniel's prayer regarding our country or your own country.
[Adapted from Daniel 9 CJB/Stern]
“Please, Adonai, great and fearsome God, who keeps His covenant and extends grace to those who love Him and observe His mitzvot! We have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled and turned away from Your mitzvot and rulings. We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our leaders, our ancestors and to all the people of the land.
“To You, Adonai, belongs righteousness; but to us today belongs shame — to us, the men of Y’hudah, the inhabitants of Yerushalayim and all Isra’el, [and the United States of America--OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE], including those nearby and those far away, throughout all the countries where You have driven them; because they broke faith with You. Yes, Adonai, shame falls on us, our kings, our leaders and our ancestors; because we sinned against You. It is for Adonai our God to show compassion and forgiveness, because we rebelled against Him. We didn’t listen to the voice of Adonai our God, so that we could live by His laws, which He presented to us through His servants the prophets. Yes, all Isra’el [and the United States of America] flouted Your Torah and turned away, unwilling to listen to Your voice. Therefore the curse and oath written in the Torah of Moshe the servant of God was poured out on us, because we sinned against Him. He carried out the threats He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us disaster so great that under all of heaven, nothing has been done like what has been done to Yerushalayim [ [and being done now in the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE]. As written in the Torah of Moshe, this whole disaster came upon us. Yet we did not appease Adonai our God by renouncing our wrongdoing and discerning Your truth. So Adonai watched for the right moment to bring this disaster upon us, for Adonai our God was just in everything He did, yet we didn’t listen when He spoke.
“Now, Adonai our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, thereby winning renown for Yourself, as is the case today — we sinned, we acted wickedly [especially here and now in the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE]. Adonai, in keeping with all Your justice, please allow Your anger and fury to be turned away from your city Yerushalayim, your holy mountain; [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE] because it is due to our sins and the wrongdoings of our ancestors that Yerushalayim and Your people [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE] have become objects of scorn among everyone around us. Therefore, our God, listen to the prayer and pleadings of Your servant; and cause Your face to shine on Your desolated sanctuary [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE], for Your own sake. My God, turn Your ear, and hear; open Your eyes and see how desolated we are, as well as the city which bears Your name [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE]. For we plead with You not because of our own righteousness, but because of Your compassion. Adonai, hear! Adonai, forgive! Adonai, pay attention, and don’t delay action — for Your own sake, my God, because Your city and Your people [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE] bear Your name!”
We beseech You, Father, in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua, to hear our cries and prayers, and especially for our children, including in the womb. May Your Name be a praise upon our lips and the harvest great, all to Your Glory. All praise, all glory, all honor are Yours, our most Holy God. May this prayer and its results be to Your Glory.
In the Name of our Beloved LORD MESSIAH JESUS. Amen.
Thank you, Joyce, for this post. It's a reminder and call to action for everyone, of every faith to pray for those fallen in defense of our country or another country in which we had no business defending with our
ReplyDeleteresources and our precious young men. May they rest in peace in the loving arms of Jesus.
Sister Joyce I will certainly be joining in this magnificent effort to pray for our world. It is no coincident that on my facebook timeline I have been teaching (maybe preaching in my own way, about the importance of real prayer and more attendance to the scriptures that many are reciting but not praying. 2 Chronicles 7:14. I keep saying, SAY IT AND PRAY IT! Thank you sister Joyce for sharing this!
