Awaken US!

Day 19 of 21 days of prayer and fasting.  What will you commit to fast today so as to focus on crying out to God for the spiritual broken condition of our nation?  America needs a Spiritual Awakening.  The Great Awakening of the early 1700's led by the influence of men like Jonathan Edwards and the Second Great Awakening led by the influence of men like Charles Finney are nothing but history that we can read about.  We need a fresh heaven sent Holy Ghost awakening for this generation one that will turn us upside down and inside out.   An awakening that is produced by God with far reaching and long lasting effects.   We dont need an emotional frenzy stirred up by another false teacher who is interested in padding his pockects.  We need a awakening that sets both the pulpits and pews of America on fire!  Revive Us Oh God!  Awaken us by your Spirit!  Reveal sin and may we be willing to repent running to you seeking forgiveness, mercy and grace.  Strip away all the junk in our lives that gets in the way.  Dear God shake us, move us from our complacency and apathy.  Restore righteousness in us, our communities and our nation! 

Psalm 85:1-13
Lord , you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.  You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah  You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger.   Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!   Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations?  Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?  Show us your steadfast love, O Lord , and grant us your salvation.   Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.  Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.   Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.  Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.  Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.   Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way.
