There have been several times recently, that what I’m going to write about today has come to my mind. Especially when I’m praying for our country. We’re familiar with Chronicles 7:14 where God says, “If My people…” God’s people have a lot to do with how things play out in our world. But are we asleep? God told Isaiah to go tell King Hezekiah who was sick, “This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.” (2 Kings 20:5). God told Moses, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.” (Exodus 3:7). Are we crying out? This applies to us today: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” (Jeremiah 29:11-12). Are we praying? I think you get the idea God has repeatedly shown me; a lot of what God wants to do in America depends on His people.
The following prayer is what God has spoken to me several times recently: “Lord, SHAKE us, WAKE us, BREAK us, MAKE us, then TAKE us to the battle front.” I feel so many Christians are saved but are asleep or idle concerning the mission God has for them. So, I pray, and for myself too, God SHAKE us. When someone is asleep and you want them to wake up, and they don’t respond to your voice, you have to SHAKE them. And, when you shake them, they will WAKE up. If they are not ready to go to battle, sometimes they have to be broken, God has to BREAK them into original pieces and put them back together, to MAKE them into what He intended for them from the beginning. Then, after all this has been accomplished, they are ready and prepared for God’s plan and He can then TAKE them to the battle front. Of course, even after we have been shaken and awakened, we have to be willing to be broken and remade. It’s our choice. God wants and needs His people to be willing to fight, to stand up for goodness, to be a mighty army for Him.
There is a remnant of God’s people who are ready. I pray that each of us will pray to be a part of it. “The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” (Deuteronomy 31:8). Let’s go!
