Calling All Intercessors
Thanks for praying and fasting with us this Wednesday, January 12.
"Then Abraham said, '… suppose ten should be found there?' And God said, 'I will not destroy Sodom for the sake of ten righteous'" (Genesis 18:32; paraphrased).
Here’s the bottom line.
A nation is does not receive God's judgment because of the presence of much evil, but because of the absence of good.
God said He would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, as they were a completely evil people. But Abraham is bargaining with God, reminding Him that He should not slay the righteous with the wicked. He is appealing to God’s mercy. He is interceding for any few righteous in that ungodly nation to be spared. Sadly, they could not find even 10 righteous.
Isaiah 62:6-7 says intercessors and watchmen should give God no rest until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. James 2:13 says that mercy triumphs over judgment.
So, today you are needed as an intercessor...a watchman or watchwomen over America!
Let's pray for ourselves.
Dear Lord,
Any good within us is only because Your blessing and virtue have been imparted to us. We have no value outside of Your grace. Forgive us for being independent from Your great love. We humble ourselves again before You.
Let's pray for our city and country.
Dear Lord,
We, the righteous remnant, intercede for America. We are ashamed of our country's sinful rebellion against You. Please forgive us. Please spare our land, our families, our economy, our government, our legacies, and our heritage. Please bring Your mercy and revival upon us again. We repent for the sins of our families, our city, and our country. We acknowledge You as our Lord, our boss, our owner, and our love!
Let's pray for the global advance of the gospel.
Dear Lord,
Today we thank You for Your hand upon Oasis World Ministries, as You have allowed us the privilege of seeing one million people indicate a desire to follow You as their one true God. We thank You for our donors, our staff, our intercessors, and all our workers. We love You and pray these souls will go on to influence many more millions for Your glory. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
