God has called us to take a stand and appeal to Him on behalf of our country. And as we courageously fight the battle for the soul of our country on our knees, we must remember that He continues to rule over the affairs of this nation and will hear us when we humble ourselves, turn from our sins, and seek His face.
May God unify our hearts and answer our cries for the spiritual well-being of the United States of America. And may our great nation return to the Lord, honoring Him from sea to shining sea.

I hope God still wants to help America. We sure don’t deserve his help anymore.
I know this was offered by Intouch Ministries in 2010, but it all seems even more pertinent, if that is possible, to the political and spiritual climate of 2014. We have a very monumental midterm election in November of 2014 and I want to undertake the 140 days of intercession for America as was done in 2010. I have a large number of Christian brothers and sisters who are as concerned as I about the erosion of liberties and freedom in this nation that would like to take part in this as well.
Prayer request from Sean in CA, USA — salvation and healing for many.
Please pray for the Lord’s mercy, grace, presence and favor, full household salvation, complete healing, good health and prosperity, peace and rest, relief from all pain and anxiety, protection, and all that’s good from God above for all of:
me and all my family, relatives, friends, and loved ones; the USA; Israel and Jerusalem; the Body / Church of Christ (all who belong to the Lord in fullness); all whom I’ve prayer for; and for all of mankind as the Lord wills.
Also, please pray for the Lord’s quick physical healing, protection, and pain / anxiety relief for me and my family, and my neighbors – Walter, John Jr., Judy A. and Judy T., Amen, thank you.
P.S. – I’m in the middle of some serious spiritual warfare. I feel pinned down and attacked. Please pray for the quick Lord’s aid, rescue / deliverance, help, and relief from on high for me.
Please join millions of Americans who are praying everyday that God will bring revival to our nation.
Thank you, David @ Mission Venture Ministries

America a nation founded upon prayer and the Bible.
Ben Franklin was the most respected man in the world, by the way, greatly admired around the globe. And he asked to speak and he got up and he said, “I am an old man.
But one thing that I have learned is that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall without his notice, it is not possible that a free nation can rise without God’s guidance and power?”
He said, “We’ve been instructed in the sacred writings, ‘Except the Lord built the house they labor in vain that build it.”
He said, “We cannot be successful in the building of a free and stable nation without God’s guidance, wisdom and power.” And then he mentions other things in the struggle with Great Britain.
And the next 116 days they wrote the Constitution of the United States of America, creating the oldest and freest government on the planet.
The men wanted to build the strongest, most moral and most peaceful nation possible. Many ideas were considered; in their wisdom they determined that God and His Holy Word had the answers to every question about how to build a strong, fair and lasting foundation for the new nation of America.
Ben Franklin stated; “When we needed guidance on different questions and aspects of an honest and lasting government, we would immediately open the Bible and pray for God to reveal His wisdom and His plan for governing a nation that would honor Him and withstand the assaults of hell and the evil tyrants that would try to destroy America.
Benjamin Franklin recalled: “We had daily prayer in this room for God’s guidance. Our prayers were heard and they were graciously answered.
“At the beginning of each session we would first call upon God the source of all wisdom for counsel, we always begin each session with prayer.”
And so they voted, they agreed, they recessed for the weekend to spend time in prayer and searching the Bible for God’s guidance; we met back the following Monday morning for three hours of prayer on our knees.
How do we bring America back to freedom and integrity? People who call themselves Christians must make Christ the absolute Lord of our lives, desire to live a life of holiness, be faithful stewards of the money, time and resources that God has given us to reach the lost.
We must invest God’s money on reaching the lost. The most patriotic thing that any true patriot and Christian can do for America is to lead someone to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
2 Chronicles 7:13 “If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people, 14 and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
The bad news is only 2% of young parents today actually have a Biblical worldview, so what are they passing along to their kids? America is under God’s judgment.
God is looking for his children to stand before him on behalf of the land in which they live. The question is who will take up this challenge? Who will care enough for the land to stand in that gap, for the lost?
The Bible says in Ezekiel 22 v 30 “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none “. There is power in prayer. Mary Queen of Scots once said “ I fear the prayers of John Knox, more than the armies of France
(Rev. 2:;21 “And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.” —–“I fear for my country when I reflect that God is just and His justice cannot sleep forever”—-Thomas Jefferson
