Let's Talk About Prayer (1)

I received this e-mail from a brother, Don Hendrickson. I have not checked the historical, via Snopes or Urban Legends, etc., because my focus on the idea that is proposed about us unifying in prayer. I would like to refrain from any comments today, because I have several, but I would like to bathe them in prayer a bit more, and will begin posting a multi-part series concerning several of the ideas contained herein beginning tomorrow. I assume I will have internet connection in Curitiba, but (a) not having a guarantee that I will, and (b) not knowing what my schedule for ministry there will or will not permit, please understand that if there is a hiatus of a few days (I will not be able to post Monday, June 30 or July 1, while returning to the U.S.) I will be faithful to pursue and to share these insights. If you would like to participate with me in this process, please feel free to e-mail me at rep46017@aol.com. Thank you, and God Bless!

THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCELLENT IDEA. ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT Received from a friend and it is true, this is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees. Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America . The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever !!! If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the up-coming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the U.S. If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Thank You. Please pass this on to anyone who you think will want to join us. God Bless You!!!
