Another Christmas Prayer for the USA

May the USA learn about the Savior and Messiah this year and believe John 3:16.

Lord, convict hearts that we long for you alone. You are what is missing in our lives, along with your Word, the Holy Bible.

Help us to seek you and your Word more this year and may we offer you prayers without ceasing. May we also meditate on your Word morning, noon, and night.

We pray that all of the United States of America accepts John 3:16, has a revival, and becomes disciples between now and 31 December 2026.

James 5:16 and a Model of Prayer

James 5:16 is a model of/for prayer. May we learn to apply it to all of our prayers.

What can we learn and model from James 5:16 regarding prayer in general and in particular for the USAGC 2026 Prayer? We can learn the following:
a Confess your sins.
b Don't just confess them. Confess your sins to another.
c Pray for each other and for healing.
d The prayers of a righteous person work well. They are powerful. So, pray.

Now, think of the USAGC 2026 prayer. If we took this into consideration, I bet the praying for the fulfillment of the Great Commission in the United States of America on or by 31 December 2026 would be far more likely.

USAGC 2026 Prayer

Presidential Elections Prayer

This is a touchy subject.... Politics and all... And what I am about to say could step on some toes. But, this is a wake-up call for all of us (me included).

What is it about the shower? I do not know about you, but that's when God seems to really speak to me. Today, he spoke to me quite sternly in an effort to get my attention and get me to think with my head and not with my heart. Once he caught my attention, he told me to share the message with you.

It does not matter who any of us likes or wants to be elected. Read that repeatedly until it sinks in. It does NOT matter. It does not MATTER.

So, what does matter? I am glad you asked, because I asked the Lord that same question.

What matters is who GOD wants to be the next President of the United States.

We tend to elect people, and vote for people, because of all the WRONG reasons. ALL of the wrong reasons.

Who we vote for does not matter.

It is WHAT we vote for that matters. We need to vote for who God wants and the individual who does NOT do anything in office for their own agenda--or anyone else's. So, we need to pray for a selfless person for the office.

The individual MUST obey God and obey God's Word. Period. End of story. Again, re-read that repeatedly until it sinks in.

It does NOT matter if we like the person or not. What matters is that they are president--based on biblical principles alone. They are a servant of God then and that is who should, and must, be president. If we vote for anyone else, then WE ARE LIVING IN SIN. If we do not vote for a man or woman of God, who will live the Word regardless of what anyone (or any group) wants or prefers, then we are actively and intentionally disobeying the Lord and the Bible. Period.

If we do not vote, we are not right. We are in the wrong. We are to vote the person who will stand on biblical principles and not stand by as someone is elected who fails to do so.

Forget the people who are campaigning. What they stand for is what matters. It does not matter how they look. It does not matter how they speak. It does not matter if we like them. It does not matter if they say catchy phrases. It does not matter. What matters is what they stand on. Do they stand on self and/or agendas? Or do they stand on the Word of God?

Look at these elections in a way you NEVER have before. Look at them ONLY through the lens of the Bible. Forget everything else. Who stands the most with biblical principles? Who does God want? Nothing else matters.

This is the wake-up, foot to my pants insight I needed. How about you?

I think it's critical we spend EXTENDED time in prayer as the primary season is starting--and until the elections. May this be our focal prayer of determination. Pray without ceasing. This is critical. There is too much at stake.

What is wrong with the USA? We are. We have forgotten it's not about us or what we would prefer. It's about God.

Prayer

Lord, you are Immanuel. You are God with us. You are our Father, our Abba.

Help us to get to know you more each and every day. We want more of you and your Word in our life by the day--and much less of us and self.

Teach us how to pray. Show us how to pray for the fulfillment of the Great Commission in the USA on or by 31 December 2026. That's the USAGC 2026 Prayer. Also, help us to take it much more seriously than what we do. Souls are at stake. We tend to forget this. Hence, teach us how to pray continually the USAGC Prayer.

Help us to understand what you want us to do regarding the prayer of USAGC 2026. How do you want us to pray? When? How long? Who specifically do you want us to pray for, Lord?

Help our unbelief.

Lord, we want to bring you maximum glory in our lives. This includes through the USAGC 2026 prayer campaign.

May the Great Commission be fulfilled in the United States of America on or by 31 December 2026.

Use us, Lord.

We love you.

Thank you for all you have done, are doing, and will do because each of our prayers. To you be the glory!

Is God Calling You?

Is God calling you?

Does he want you to live a life of prayer?

Does he want you to live a life of determined and bold prayer?

Does God want you to have a deeper and more loyal faith?

Does he want you to help fulfill the Great Commission?

If your answer is 'yes' to any of the above, please consider joining me and praying for the Great Commission to be fulfilled in the United States of America on or by 31 December 2026.

Please either send me an email to the address below. Or, add a comment to any of these blog posts and let me know.

A Christmastime Prayer

Prayer:

Lord, it's that time of year again.

Help us remember that every day is Christmas. We are to live for Christ every day and remember why he lived. It was so that he could die. Why did he die? For the forgiveness of all of our sins. What does that mean for us? We will have everlasting life. We will live forever with the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe--with the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls--with the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Help us to remember it's not about what we do at Christmas. It's not about gifts. It's about time and remembrance. It's the time we remember what Jesus and his birth means for us.

Lord, help us draw forever closer to you and help us to stop settling for a life of mediocrity. We want to live a life of excellence in you and in your Word. For us to live any other way is to forget and overlook why Jesus was born.

Help us to take our faith seriously.

Help us to read the Word and pray it every day.

Help us not to forget the blessings and gifts you have given us this past year while we prepare for a new year of worshipping and serving you.

You are Immanuel. You are with us--always.

Lord, please fulfill the Great Commission through us in the United States of America on or by 31 December 2026.

Thank you for all you do. You are truly the God who Provides--Jehovah Jireh.

Christmas is a time to worship you. Help us not to forget to do so.

The Easy Way, Short-Cut and Prayer

Most of the time, the short-cuts and easy way are the worst ways to go. There is too much you miss if you go for the easy way or the short-cut.

I used to like to make sure that my prayers were measurable and could be answered by God. I helped him out that way. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be disappointed. I was impatient and wanted answers now, thank you very much.

I now realize how shallow that is.

The USAGC 2026 prayer could be seen as a pipe or an impossible dream. The Bible mentions nothing about it, so obviously that will never come true... Right?

Wrong.

The Bible doesn't mention the internet, satellites, tanks, cell phones, abortion, presidential elections, etc. Does that make them any less true or real?

The USAGC 2026 prayer is very possible. It will take more prayer... more intentional prayer... than I can even begin to fathom. But, I am going after it. I am giving it my all. No short-cuts. No easy ways. Just dropping to my knees and getting to the down and dirty. I am praying to the point of callouses on my knees--and holes in my jeans where my knees are. I will pray like this every day for the next 25 years--and then beyond. I am tried of little, short-term, easy, short-cut prayer. I want to the meat and potatoes of my faith--not just the milk.

Again... Wanna join me? Let me know if you do. Send an email of attach a comment to a blog post, please.

Book News

I now have two books based off of this blog. They are both free. You can get them at the link below (in this blog post) that is for Smashwords.

They are free for now and will be until there is enough material for an entire book. Hence, please note that they are ROUGH DRAFT copies and need to be corrected. They are based off of posts from this blog.

In time, both books will be available for $5.00 each. But, that's months from now.

If you want this blog in book version, you might want to download the free book at Smashwords. It's easier to use and you can have it at your fingertips. Also, I am re-downloading each book once a week or so. Whenever there is a new copy available to download, I will notify you with a blog post.

How is Your Prayer Life?

This is another prayer journaling opportunity, by the way.

So, how is your prayer life?

How is it since you started to read this blog? (To Him be the glory, by the way.)

The reason why I ask these questions is because I started this blog on 14 December. Here it is 6 days later and my prayer life has been dramatically transformed. It has nothing to do with what I've written. It has to do with how God has worked in my life.

Has he worked in your prayer life as well? How?

What has worked in your prayer life over the last week? The last year?

What hasn't worked very well?

What answers have you received for your prayers this week? This year?

My prayer for you: Lord, open his/her heart and mind to praying for you in a whole new, active, personal, and more intimate way. May he/she learn how limiting his/her prayers have been in the past because it wasn't fully realized, or remembered, how every prayer--no matter how little or how much it has to do with the now--impacts generations upon generations. The reverse is true. Help him/her to remember how generations are impacted by the lack of prayer. Abba, help him/her with the Prayers of Determination and teach them, how to pray in the way you desire. Help him/her to know how you want them to pray for USAGC 2026 and the fulfilling of the Great Commission on or by 31 December 2026. To you be all glory, honor, and praise, forever and ever. You are holy, holy, holy.

Be Still

It's critical at points in our lives for us to be still. After all, we often get so busy that we miss hearing what God is saying to us, we miss opportunities, and we don't always notice God's blessings. Busyness tends to cloud things in our lives and get us sidetracked from the that which is most important in our lives.

That's why it is so important for us to have times of stillness, rest, and rejuvenation. We need to be still at least one entire day per week and actually take a Sabbath day.

You know all of this. I bet you struggle with the same thing I do. It's the application component. Consequently, I am about to suggest something you might think odd and impossible at the moment. But...

Christmas is in 5 days.

Be as still as you can possibly be between now and then. Don't miss the time with the Lord and your loved ones because of busyness. You don't have to do it all. It will not make Christmas any less. In fact, through the years, I've learned the less I do for Christmas, the more enjoyable Christmas is because I can actually sit back and make memories--vs. worry about perfection. You can't force memories and good times. But, they can sure happen when you give them the opportunity.

And, during your periods of stillness or busyness, don't forget to pray USAGC 2026 and all your other Prayers of Determination. Those are the things that will be long remembered. Generations upon generations will be impacted by them.

Take time. Be still. Enjoy.

Perpetual Prayers of Determination (Determined Prayers)

What are the Perpetual Prayers of Determination?

Determined Prayer is a prayer we pray over and over until a certain target date or until the day we die.

These are the prayers we wrestle with God about and A-S-K (Matthew 7:7) over and over until we receive our answer.

USAGC 2026 is one of these.

There are several determined prayers within the USAGC 2026 that we should pray repeatedly and without ceasing for and they are:

~ Each of the 50 states

~ The Weekly Great Commission Fulfillment List

~ The Monthly Great Commission Fulfillment List

These are the prayers you can pray, and should pray, 24/7/365. these are serious prayers. They are prayers that will allow God to work in a way He hasn't been able to work before. They are so big and important that we need to make sure to be very intentional about them and make sure to keep a record so we do not forget what we've prayed, or what God has answered so far. These are the prayers of the heart that change our lives--and the lives of everyone in our lives, the lives of everyone we come across, and the lives of those we are praying for.

These are the circle prayers Mark Batterson talks about in his book: "The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears." (See http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Maker-Praying-Greatest-ebook/dp/B005EGK0MI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1324319680&sr=1-1)

Keep praying these prayers. Get determined. Make sure to give lots of daily attention to each of your Perpetual Prayers of Determination (Determined Prayers).
