AWAKE and ARISE!

Praying for America in this Endtime



“The Fourth of July” is fast-approaching, and many people in America will be celebrating this federal holiday commemorating the Declaration of Independence. It is so important to pray for America. At times, a WNOP prayer team and others have converged on our nation’s capital in Washington DC to bombard heaven in prayer for a great spiritual awakening, revival, and harvest in America. Past missions have been successfully accomplished, yet there are other present and future battles and missions to undertake. However, in the end, we know that God will have the final say and the ultimate victory in winning the war!

There is a loud clarion call to awaken and to arise to fervent prayer more than ever before. There is a shaking! “...the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain” (Hebrews 12:27). In general though, is Christendom asleep? (Psalm 44:23) Are many of our voices silent in prayer and Christian advocacy? Are some of us depending more on the government than on God to meet our needs in life? (Luke 12:22-32, 16:13; Philippians 4:19) We are on the precipice of one of the greatest revivals and harvests in the history of humanity, and it is high time to awake! (Romans 13:11; I Corinthians 15:34; Ephesians 5:14; Psalm 7:6) 

God wants to magnify our voices in prayer and through taking a peaceful, godly stand for principles of His Word! He wants us to arise and be advocates of righteousness and truth, as ambassadors of Christ! (Nehemiah 2:20; Isaiah 60:1-3; Micah 4:13; II Corinthians 5:20) If we, as Christians, don't represent the kingdom of God, then who will? If we don't pray with urgency and take a Christian stand for righteousness, then who will? How can we? Engage in fervent intercession regarding current religious and global affairs! Become involved in support of endorsed Christian causes, under the submission/direction of God and your pastor/church leadership!

It is time to repent as a Church body for any ungodliness that has crept into our churches. (Ezekiel 15:49) Then, we should also stand in the gap and repent for our nation for all unbiblical choices and for the sins in the land. (II Chronicles 7:14; I Timothy 2:1-4; Acts 10:35; Proverbs 14:34) Christians will face greater persecution, including other areas of opposition that are on the horizon. Be ready! The one-world government is coming fast. The spirit of the antichrist is at work. (I John 2:18, 4:3; II John 1:7; Matthew 24:3-42). Yet, great restoration, revival and HARVEST also are imminent!

I Peter 4:7 says, “But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” Are you up? Will you stand up? "Awake" and "Arise" in this endtime! Pray and Proclaim, for the coming of the Lord is upon us, and He indeed is saying, “Awake” and “Arise!”

A Godly Nation!

America was founded on the principles found in God’s word. However, we, as a nation, have strayed away from liberty and justice for all. There is no justice for the unborn and the weak among us. Because of the shedding of innocent blood, the door has been opened for the enemy to bring the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah into our nation. God has been merciful to us and allowed a pandemic to awaken and revive His Church to intercessory prayer. 

It is time for Christians to take a stand. We must form a united front against the adversary, attacking his lies and deception at the root. The root of injustice is disregard for the Biblical truth and scientific fact, that all mankind are created equal, and made in the image of God. And that is what Satan and his antichrist hate. The enemy is using the past to incite anger and violence, which is not a new tactic for him, but many are buying into the lie. We cannot deny past wrongs, but we also must not disregard what is good and praiseworthy. We cannot allow divisions in the body of Christ. We must come together as a united force to defeat the enemy in battle. In Christ there is no ethnicity, gender, servant, or master. We must fight the good fight of faith for a godly nation. 

We do not have the power to change the past. We do not have the power to stop the climate from changing. We do not have the power to change who God created male or female into whatever we desire. We are not God. This mindset comes from the one who desires to sit on the throne of God, calling himself God. America’s critics, who would like to rewrite the past, placing themselves in the position of God, are following the antichrist. It is not his time. It is time for America to be that One Nation Under God, with liberty and justice for all. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance” (Psalm 33:12). 

The following excepts are criteria quoted by General Superintendent David K. Bernard for officials who were elected in the past. Let’s pray for the following, and that we would have righteous leaders, giving thanks, and making intercession for them. 

Pray for:

• Respect for human life: including the vulnerable, unborn, seniors, poor, minorities, immigrants, support for families, defense against terrorism and state aggression, and Israel’s right to exist.
• Justice: civil rights, equal justice under law, and rule of law (including official accountability).
• Freedom: conscience, religion, speech, press, peaceful assembly, and the protection of religious institutions and judges who uphold the constitution. 
• Economic freedom and opportunity: limited government, limited regulations, local self-determination, education, health, and environment.

The World Network of Prayer Presents

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2022, WNOP launched an annual 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide in coordination with our existing “Year of Prayer.” Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also weekly, a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer. We encourage your participation by joining in prayer.

Will you commit and join with others throughout the world in united prayer and fasting? Sign up by committing in your heart unto God that you will consistently set aside a day each week to do some prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering over the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”
