“ASK, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE”
by Anonymous
(Oct. 31, 2015) — 2 Chronicles 7:14 is a contract offer from God:
“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
America is a land in peril. A recent poll determined 73% of Americans believe our nation is headed in the wrong direction, and it’s obvious, the other 23% are simply not paying attention.
America has become a house divided, built on shifting sand. Our Nation is under attack by determined enemies “both foreign and domestic,” and we have only one hope: to accept God’s offer.
But first, we have to understand what that entails.
1. We must set our personal and selfish interests aside, so we may
2. Join with others ‘who are called by His name’ and pray
3. With intimate understanding of the Lord, and repent from our sins.
Notice in these three conditions, there is no instruction to ‘find an excuse not to do this”.
If you call yourself a Christian, you are included. If you want to become a Christian, you are included. If you are not a Christian, but want to save our nation, please join us. God loves us all, and commits: “Ask, and you shall receive.”
40 Days 4 America is His people’s acceptance of God’s offer.
“But 40 days is a long time!”
Yes it is. But consider this: America has been occupied by Christians for more than 400 years, making 40 days a mere ‘blink of an eye.’
“But to pray every day! That’s going to take a lot of time.”
This is the prayer:
“Father in Heaven, I humble myself before you. I want to come to know you better as I repent my failings and shortcomings. I ask you to hear my prayers from Heaven, forgive my sin, and heal my land. In Jesus’ name, Amen,”
15 seconds x 40 days = 10 minutes.
To put into perspective; over our lifetimes, we spend:
1. 9.1 years watching TV
2. 2 years watching commercials.
3. 3 months in traffic, about 38 hours a year.
Can you put 15 seconds of your day to better use?
“But what if I do it, and no one else does?”
This is not about anyone else—it’s about you accepting God’s offer.
“But what if it doesn’t work?”
But what if it does? Besides, do you have a better offer? And has God ever gone back on His Word?
For those who do not wish to participate, any excuse will do. This is not about race, political party, denomination, or gender. It is for all of us who are truly committed to turning America in the right direction, these forty days will ‘fundamentally transform America’, but this time it will be for the Glory of God!
Set your alarm beginning at 9:11 AM, November 10th, and on each of the 39 days following, stop what you’re doing, wherever you may be, and repeat the prayer—verbatim, or in your own words. Stay right where you are or drop to your knees; raise your hand and shout it to the Heavens, or just close your eyes and repeat it in your heart. Allow the moment to interrupt whatever you are doing, or hold it until you are safe and comfortable. Whatever you feel is right.
