On September 11, 2001, I was sitting in Jefferson, Iowa. Carol and I were in the process of moving from Virginia Beach to Southern California. As I checked emails, Uncle Phil said, “Larry, look at the television.”
What I saw stunned me: New York’s Twin Towers being hit by two airplanes. Even as I watched I couldn’t grasp what was going on. How could this happen to America? I thought.
The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart later that day: “America is at war!”
After seventeen years, I now realize that the war I thought was just against terrorism and Al-Qaeda is far greater than that. Every part of America is under attack. Our culture. Our political system. Our faith. Our future. Everything.
And sadly, America doesn’t realize who is behind all of this.
For thus says the LORD of hosts: “Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,” says the LORD of hosts. (Haggai 2:6)
My prayer today:
Lord, open our eyes and move on our spirits so that we turn to You with all of our hearts, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. So that we rip our hearts apart in grief for our sins rather than just going through some more religious motions. Help us, O Lord, to return to You, believing You are gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great understanding, and desire to offer us a reprieve. (Based on Joel 2:12-13)
What do you think and has the Lord spoken to you today?
Join with me to fast and pray for America.

I remember that time well also! The night of the 9th, morning of the 10th, I had a dream of an airplane flying through the sky and then it turn in a way to where it was flying straight up and it changed into a cross! I can’t quite remember if you called Rick or Rick called you, but you told us to turn on the TV! What a shock that was! I remember we were making plans to help you to move Carol’s mother to Jefferson that day!
Thank you , Mr. Larry , for your prayers and heart for God and that we would turn always to Him. Blessings!
