Jesus looked at the Word believers in His day – the Pharisees – and said, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red;’ and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.” (Matthew 16:2-3)
Looking at the riots that happened in Ferguson, the uproar from the religious freedom law passed in Indiana, and the general lack of character displayed by America’s political leaders, shouldn’t we understand something by now? God is not working like He did in past times because, for the most part, He is not using government leaders to deliver us from our problems.
We need to hear a new word from heaven now!
Today, I prayed:
Lord, forgive us American believers for holding onto our traditions and old ways, hoping to breathe life into dead bones that will never be raised from their graves. Help us to hear what the Spirit is saying to the American churches for today. (Based in part on Revelation 2:7)
What do you think and has the Lord spoken to you?
Join with me on Thursdays to fast and pray for America.

Thank you, Mr. Larry, for helping us see that we need to hear a new word from God. Praying with you! I prayed from Exodus 2:23, where the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage. Praying that God shows us what we are in bondage to, so we can cry out and be delivered. God bless you and speak to you this day.
Debbie,
Thanks. Great prayer. I agree with you because most of us do not even know we’re in bondage. God bless you.
