FACING THE RAPIDS!

When we consider the state of our world today, we may at times find ourselves discouraged or distressed. As I prayed for our nation, in particular, the political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual turmoil we face struck me as a rushing river. America drifted and listed on turbulent waters, severed from her foundational anchors, without even a protruding branch to grasp for stability.

In prayer, as I “gazed at the banks” searching for something to hold onto, the Lord impressed me with this thought:

"The stream is in my hand."

A wave of peace swept in, and my swirling concerns were displaced by the presence of God. I actually laughed out loud. First, for the sheer delight in knowing that God cares enough to meet a solitary person who takes the time to sit with Him. And second, because the message He impressed upon me is so true. The stream is in His hand.

From the beginning of time, God established a plan, and then, in the palm of His hand, He measured the oceans. Nothing is outside of His control. No matter how challenging our times, our God is mighty to save. He works all things for His good purposes.

Yes, as His people, we should pray for righteous leadership and fulfill our duties as conscientious citizens. Ultimately, however, we entrust every outcome to God. There is no safer place to be than in God's hands.

Renewal of Faith

“And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth” (Luke 18:7-8)?

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). 

Our ability to receive the promises of God are directly connected to our faith in Him. The confidence we have put in our bank accounts, retirement, medical plans, and insurance have undermined the faith we have had to put in God. Not that these things are wrong in and of itself, but our security cannot be tied to what we have on this earth. We are “facing” perilous and uncertain times, it is vital that our faith be a testimony to the world in this desperate hour.

PRAY:

• For a hunger for God’s Word. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).
• For a purification through heartfelt repentance. “… purifying their hearts by faith” (Acts 15:9).
• For separation from this world and sanctification for God’s purpose. “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” (Act 26:18). 
• For righteousness to be revealed to the world. “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). 
• For faith to produce the fruits of the spirit in our lives. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:1-2).  
• For the Church to stand in the power of God. “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God” (I Corinthians 2:5).
• That our faith would not fail. “But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not” (Luke 22:32):

The World Network of Prayer Presents 

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

As of January 1, 2023, WNOP has continued the 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide. It has been such a great success in 2022 that it was requested again. 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.

Many people throughout the world have signed up by committing in their hearts unto God that they will consistently join together in united 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!”
