Day 6 – Heal Our Nation

Who’s Vision are you praying for?

Vision is a difficult word for us mere humans.  We think of vision as being able to see a thing, then recognize the thing, and finally, we believe in it. This is not vision, this is living and walking by sight.  There is no requirement of faith in God, his commands, or his word in that kind of vision.   

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

Our Nation is in trouble and we do need to pray for our land to be healed.  Do we pray in Spirit and truth and believe it just because God says so (Jude 1:17-20)? Or do our prayers asking God to change things in a way that looks more to our liking? Would you be OK if President Biden is president for 8 more years? Would you be OK if President Trump returns to office in 2024? Supposed congress never does vote the way you want them to, or the US does become a socialist democrat nation. Would you still believe God has a plan for us, a plan for our hope and our future, a plan to does not harm us but rather prospers us (Jeremiah 29:11)?

You know when Jeremiah heard what is in Jeremiah29:11 from God, things were not to his liking. Jerusalem was to be captured and burned to the ground; the temple at which he worshipped would be desecrated and his people killed, captured, and disgraced. Jeremiah knew all of this and continued to warn folks to return to God. For his trouble, he was often made fun of, beaten, and put to public ridicule. Read Chapter 20. And yet in the midst of this personal trouble he confesses that he must speak the truth that comes from God because it burns in his bone and he cannot keep it bottled up (Jeremiah 20:9).

So when you pray for the healing of our nation, I want to encourage all of you to:

  1. Hear what God is saying to you. Be careful to hear him and not your own voice.
  2. Write it down in a prayer journal
  3. Look for confirmation of what you are hearing in the Bible. Not the news or Facebook.
  4. Speak your prayers out loud. Let Satan know you have decided to speak THE Truth, not a truth.

Be blessed my friends

Chris attended Indiana University where he met and married Gay. He graduated with a BS in Elementary Education in 1980. In 1999 Chris and his wife Gay co-founded Genesis 2-24 Ministries in Seymour, Indiana where they currently live. Genesis 2:24 Ministries is a marriage ministry whose mission is to "Restore Marriage to the Honorable Place described in God’s Word". They do this through individual pre-marital and marital guidance, small group education and community events. Since the inception of the ministry they have seen God do miraculous things in the lives of the couples. We have noticed that few couples actually want to be divorced, they simply do not know how to live happily ever after. We want to provide ideas and tactics straight from the Bible that if applied will lead to marital bliss. We want nothing more than to see the Word "divorce" be taken out of our language.
