This evening I listened to a disturbing message from a month ago preached to a conference of 600 pastors. In the message an evangelical scholar gave several compelling historical and sociological data points that more than suggest that we evangelical conservatives (that’s me) have already lost the “culture war” in our nation.
I agree – but for different reasons than what I hear him saying. If (as I maintain) we Christians have spent a generation fighting a culture war without bearing a cross, for whatever other little or big gains we may assume “our side” has been making, I think we need to now come to the real conclusion that we have left “the Lord’s side” – and thus have lost whatever struggle we thought we were engaged in. In short, we need to come to grips with the fact that we have been engaging our world in manner that has disconnected us from the heart of our Lord.
I believe this is where we are in America in 2022. I believe over the last two years we’ve brought ourselves to a point of no return. I believe many (both believers and unbelievers) “feel” the atmosphere of this critical impasse – even if we don’t quite know what we’re feeling.
After listening to the message I fell asleep and woke up this morning hearing the Lord querying: “What shall I do with a people whose zeal to save America has become a hinderance to My zeal to save Americans? And how shall I deal with sons and daughters whose love for their nation has become a dissuasion to their love for the Desire of the Nations?”

NOTE: If you don’t already have a copy of our book “Seek My Face“, I want you to have it. It was written out of 1700 hours of focused corporate prayer during the first 180 days of the COVID plague. Email me your email at xaris4u@yahoo.com and I’ll send you a PDF version today. Send me your mailing address, or the mailing address of your church, your pastor, your small group, or prayer group and I’ll ship you the print edition. Or download it from Amazon (It’ll cost 4.99 there). The hour for this message is now. This is a “word” that needs to go with us in between the porch and the altar. It’s that vital.
The Lord is in the process of convincing the American Church that we’re built upon unstable ground that will not be sufficient for what He’s about to do on the earth. We can either protest, demand our rights and insist that our ground is fundamentally sufficient like we always have, or we can let Him reduce us and level us and move us to new ground (this is called a paradigm shift) where He can build us in the only way that will enable us to stand: crucified.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build at all.” (Psalm 127:1)
99% of what should concern us Christians about the condition of the Church in America stems from the radical realization that we are a generation that has done headstands to build ourselves without the agency of a cross.
From the prophets’ books, conferences and teachings we champion, to the politics we engage in, to the altar calls we issue, it is abundantly clear that as a whole, we are a people who oblige a Church without a cross and a cross without a grave.
Once we realize that we’re a generation of church-goers who has utterly failed to practically apply the cross to our lives, what we’ve experienced over these last several years makes perfect sense::
Of course we have scores of “prophets” who are not being held accountable for falsely prophesying Trump’s landslide victory.
Of course millions of evangelical leaders are knitting fig leaves together in an attempt to divorce us from the horrific histories of our native and black families.
Of course we can storm the capital with militant cries like “Valkyrie” and then deny complicity when people are murdered and our god fails to act on our behalf.
Of course we vehemently believe that we could be raptured out of here at any moment, because our God would never make us suffer through tribulation.
Of course millions in our family attend cult political rallies that are filled with rancor, malice and Christian syncretism.
Of course when faced with a plague we rise up in loud, angry protest against our government rather than weep between the porch and the altar.
Of course we proffer conspiracy theories instead of seeking the naked truth about ourselves before the Holy gaze of the God of Daniel 9.
Of course we promote revival apart from the message of Jeremiah.
Of course our ministries, books, conferences and church events are auto-tuned to definitions of power and glory that look nothing like Jesus.
Of course we champion political and ecclesial leaders who promise us righteousness while exalting self.
Of course we sweep their sad, sordid stories under the rug when they collapse under moral failure after failure after failure…
There’s been no doubt about where we stand. We American evangelicals have spent a generation building a Church upon the unstable soil of the uncrucified self.
Beloved. A cross must, and WILL be applied. There is no hope for a people in this hour that will not say “yes” to Jesus’ administration of the cross. A crossless woman will not become the Bride of the Lamb. The message of Revelation, if anything, should tell us that.
The act of taking God’s analysis of our situation seriously is called repentance. It entails more than modifying the plumbing, holding a housewarming party, or adorning the living room with new furniture. The type of shift the Lord is calling His people to make involves leveling ourselves to our foundations and scrutinizing everything we do and believe and assert through the lens of selflessly seeking the Lord. Life under the cross in this hour is that radical.
Is there grace for the conversation? Of course. But we almost dare not mention it for fear that we use it to our self-excusing advantage like we have for decades. Ours is a well-worn groove. It’s become a familiar spirit. Unless we press into the Holy Spirit’s Presence with great intentionality and fasting our 21c minds will warp and distort the message of the eternal – to our own destruction.
Unless we take up our cross we will not be worthy of Him. (Matthew 10:38)
“I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified…” (1 Corinthians 2:2)
One of the cultural dynamics that has tripped us American believers up for more than a generation is the soup we live in, day-in and day-out that tells us Christianity is all about us.
Beloved, (and we are) – it’s not about us. It’s not even mostly about us. It’s only by His grace that ANY of this is about us.
If we make the Christian life about us we, unlike, John, Paul or the disciples, will never give ourselves to (John 3:30) “He must increase…”. We’ll never see the wisdom of attaching our life to a cross that’s attached to a grave. We’ll never surrender our will to the glory of the Father. Our self (with a little help from the enemy of our souls) will always make sure that our religious experiences are about… our self.
The centrality of “me” is a great delusion, and it’s SO ubiquitous in our consumeristic Christian circles… The Kingdom is not about making my life work. Our part in the Kingdom is about enthroning His reign in our lives. (This is a big difference.) But the truth is, when we DON’T make it about ourselves our lives are filled with infinitely more satisfaction and fruit than we could achieve in our own effort.
The heart of the heart of the heart the Kingdom is about the Father’s promise He made to His Son; that He should rule the nations, and have an eternal partner, redeemed, purified and brought forth in first commandment love. This means that He WILL have a Bride, not necessarily that everyone WILL be a part of Her. It’s the invitation to joy. But it’s an invitation that must be traveled by dying to self. “Rejoice, but with trembling… lest you perish in the way.” (Psalm 2:11)
“Jesus is Lord! How are you responding to that reality?”
This is why I like the laconic proclamation of the gospel: “Jesus is Lord. How are you responding to that reality?” This is the gospel that Jesus brings. This is the gospel that the New Testament and the apostles died to proclaim: “Jesus is Lord! And He’s coming to reign. And you’ll want to be cleansed of your rebellion; receive His pardon; and be filled with the administration and authority of His government, because He intends to co-rule with a prepared people. Nothing! in hell or on earth will stop this King from receiving this promise from the Father. The best life we can know (and it IS unbelievably fulfilling and fruitful) is for us to make our peace with Him, enter into His terms of agreement, and surrender to His reign of love – while we can.”
This is the nexus of the separation that is being accomplished in the Church in this hour. Many will experience the tremors of His voice calling us to come out of the tyranny of our own self-focused-rule and either not see Him for Who He is, not understand His call or reject His authentic call because it doesn’t look like the call they’re used to hearing Christianity issue. Some will gloriously go through the baptism of fire that He is sending to the earth and abandon themselves to come forth “without spot, wrinkle or blemish”. (Ephesians 5:27)
I’m often asked what I believe about “revival” – particularly within the United States. As I have prayed for revival for well over 20 years there are four key words that generally come to mind:
PRESENCE 1. Revival is “the abiding manifest presence of God” (Psalm 132) among a community or culture of people within a tangible, geographical location. I pray for, and believe God wants to do (Psalm 132) more than we do – in this age – within America (and many other places on the earth).
Revival in the ultimate sense is humanity responding appropriately to the One Who is returning to the our planet as Lord. Jesus isn’t coming to merely make our church experiences more stimulating or more popular. He’s returning to rule 195 nations on the earth. This is the One we encounter in revival – the One Who is filled with zeal to reign with perfect love.
Two great questions can help stir our hearts to authentically prepare for and engage His Presence: “What in me is this Man worth?” and “What do I want my heart to be filled with in the moment that I first meet our Bridegroom King?” Seeking answers to these questions will kindle a hunger for me run to God in purification and dedication, and not away from Him in shame or frustration.
REPENTANCE 2. Sincerely asking these two questions of ourselves will also engender a spirit of repentance in our hearts; a repentance that is fueled by the revelation of Him, what He’s worthy of, and a corresponding passion to submit any and everything in us – our sins, our unrighteous ways, our gifts, our resources, our dreams and our energy to His reign and the increase of His glory.
I believe the next (and last?) massive revival in our nation will entail a soul-rending, fervid, can’t-make-it-stop, everywhere-present, earthquake of repentance that dwarfs anything we have read about in previous revivals. Indeed, because of the nature of “what it is” I believe the next revival must be characterized by such an atmosphere of surrendered selflessness.
Having said this, I believe revival, “if” it is to happen in America before the Lord returns, will happen within a context that looks much more like the time of Jeremiah* than the time of Josiah. Repentance and “death to self” will be the stuff of revival; not liberated self-actualization within a re-glorified nation.
PRAYER 3. Psalm 132 revival will only come within a people who are plumb lined to foundational, corporate, contrite, Christ-focused, cross-bearing prayer. It will come no other way. This is one chief reason why (over the last 12 years) my wife and I have cultivated a lifestyle of 4 to 6 hours of prayer every day.
A. Prayer is where we see Jesus clearly and learn to love His singular exaltation in the same way the Father does.
B. Prayer is where we most clearly see what He is worth – and where we lay down our lives in abandoned submission to His increase.
C. These thousands of “deaths” will not happen “on the run”, or “automatically”. We consecrate ourselves to the King intentionally/daily in the focused Presence of His throne room.
D. Prayer is how the hearts of the lost are softened to the gospel and the chains of those shackled to darkness are unlocked.
CONFERRED AUTHORITY 4. At the end of Matthew 9 – leading into Matthew 10 Jesus speaks about revival from the context of His own presence and authority being manifest through His disiciples: “35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Ch. 10:1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.”
There is much we can say about the Bride of Christ operating in a mature lifestyle of conferred authority. In order to make ourselves ready for the revival that’s in His heart it is particularly important for us to understand that He confers this authority upon us within the place of prayer. True revival isn’t contained within a building or a venue. It’s imparted to a people who then carry it everywhere they go – into their homes, their workplaces, their city streets; into every aspect of their lives.
Prayer unto conferred authority is the engine of all revival. Let me say a little more about the power-connection between the two dynamics of prayer and conferred authority.
A. There is no conferred authority without prayer. We learn to confidently walk out His presence with His authority in the context of prayer-filled communion with the Lord.
B. Jesus commands us to pray for empowered “laborers” to be “thrust into” the fields for His harvest.
C. Laborers are commissioned and “sent” by the Lord. (It’s not something that we take upon ourselves – or indiscriminately thrust upon others…) Laborers are “sent” via their personal prayer-dialogue with the Lord.
D. One of the most significant aspects of being a laborer is giving one’s self to being “in labor” for the birth of God’s power and purposes within a group and/or community of people. Prayer is where the Lord “impregnates” us with His heart, His Word and His power for others.
E. If we don’t make the practical connection between much prayer and much harvest we will experience little of the Lord’s heart and power for it.
These four words describe the dynamics that must be in play in order for the people of God to experience Biblical revival.

____________________ JSB • March, 2022
* The time of Jeremiah was not unlike the time of the 1c Church. Within this mix of godless dominant culture, staunch religious fervor and hostile nationalism “the Way” of the Lord thrived.
Acts 5 12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed…
Acts 6 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them. 7 Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
Acts 8 4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.
The Spirit is telling the Church worldwide: “It’s time.” The Bride needs to know how to be conformed to Christlikeness through the time of trouble. The Bride needs to prepare herself for the reign of the Son.
“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17)
The judgments of the Lord are essential if we are to do this. The judgments of the Lord are vehicles by which our King gives the depth of Himself to us. Without these judgments we never have the conversations with Him that take us to the next level of strength He wants for us – and we NEED from Him.
This is the strength that Jesus wanted to speak into the lives of the churches in Revelation 2 and 3.
Right now our 1st century sisters and brothers in Christ from Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea are all crying out to the Church in America: “Pay attention to the judgments of the Lord! Do not assume you possess the mind of the Lord based upon your theological persuasion, your favorite teacher or prophet, your reputation in the community, your own internal-analysis, or your particular evangelical peer-group. Lay hold of the One Who’s walking among your lamp stand. Talk to HIM for yourself!Get yourself on the threshing floor and ‘Seek HIS Face’!”
All seven of these churches were born-again, Bible-believing, Spirit-filled, congregations. 100%. Jesus wouldn’t have called them “the church at…” if they weren’t.
The Church in America urgently needs leaders with Holy Spirit boldness and conviction to call the body of Christ to say YES to the courageous, deep, and disciplined work of consecrating ourselves before the coming of the Lord and His purifying judgments.
Urgently.
The season is passing… we will not want steep learning curves into learning the Lord’s ways of righteousness in the tribulation that’s dawning around us.
We desperately need thousands of pastors, teachers, prophets and mothers and fathers in the faith who will lead the body of Christ into deep repentance of our unrighteous ways; the unrighteous ways that have plagued the people of God throughout the scriptures, and the history of the Church: godless humanism, racial insensitivity, nationalism, political idolatry, contra-Sermon on the Mount insurrection, and prideful self-determination.
How shall we do this? Paul’s prayer for the Church in Thessalonica points us into this way.
“Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good.Abstain from every form of evil. NOW MAY THE GOD OF PEACE HIMSELF SANCTIFY YOU COMPLETELY; AND MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY BE PRESERVED BLAMELESS AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL. HE WILL DO IT!” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24)
Paul’s prayer here is SO confidence-producing! Consider what we learn about praying for the Church from this prayer for these ancient believers:
1 • The GOD of peace HIMSELF wants to intimately do the sanctifying work in the hearts of His people. It isn’t something that He is willing to delegate to an emissary, or to a rule book. He yearns to be in the center of the center of the purification process! The truth is, it’s in letting Jesus personally engage us that we gain the courage to let go of our insufficient and unrighteous ways in order embrace Him and His righteous ways.
2 • We can pray for COMPLETE SANCTIFICATION for a whole group of believers; AND our whole beings – SPIRITS, SOULS and BODIES CAN be made mature and beautiful in righteousness – together!
3 • We can become a Church, IN THIS AGE, that is magnificently Christ-like. We can “make ourselves ready” (Revelation 19:11) for our Bridegroom. If the Father fully released what Paul was praying for in the Thessalonians what would Jesus have said re: them had they been one of the seven Churches of Revelation? The One Who walks among the lamp stands (Revelation 1:13) can have NOTHING corrective to say about us. (Imagine!) It is feasible for us to be BLAMELESS in His eyes!
4 • Jesus, the One Who called us to Himself in the first place, is entirely FAITHFUL! He has GREAT DESIRE and ABILITY to bring whole believing communities to PERFECT CHRISTLIKE tenderness, humility, brilliant in witness, love, holiness, supernatural power, zeal and endurance. (Wowzers! Imagine what that’d look like in your city!)
5 • Paul, the one who is standing in the gap on behalf of these beloved sisters and brothers, doesn’t believe this is some hyped ideal. He actually BELIEVES GOD WILL DO THIS on account of his prayers.
This is the privilege of what we get to press into and pray for the Church in our region! Glorious!
I appreciate the sentiment of this meme, but I actually believe the Bible suggests otherwise.
The depth of humanity’s depravity is much greater than something that can be fixed with mere knowledge of reality. It requires submission; the kind of submission that Jesus called for when He invited individuals into His Kingdom: “Deny yourself; take up your cross daily, and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23)
The truth is, simply knowing Who Jesus is isn’t enough – it helps – but our eternal destiny requires more. Specifically, it requires our despairing of our own way, and our submission to Him and His way.
Truth be told, there will be many who believe they know the right things about Jesus who will be gravely undone on the day they meet Him face to face. Many will recognize and acknowledge Him on that day as “Lord”. But Jesus warns us, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven—only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
The fact of the matter is, our human heart is so corrupt and bent on doing things our own way, that even should we say we know Who Jesus is, we would still vehemently resist submitting to Him. We would still not want to love our enemies; not want to stop coveting; we would still want to hold grudges; we would still want unfettered freedom to determine our own way; we would resent His input into our lives; we’d want to spurn His redirection of our hearts.
In the end, when Jesus returns, the whole unbelieving world will still be opposed to Him and His way (Psalm 2:1-3). They will not hate homosexuality any more than they do now. They will not despise their nationalism anymore than they do today. They will not love the poor any more than they did while they feasted through their lives (ala. the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31) They will not think any higher about wanting to give Him love and praise. And when consigned to their tragic eternal destiny, they will remain in that accursed, angry, defiant state forever. (That indeed is hell…)
This is how bent our soul is under the curse. This is how prevalent its power is over our hearts. This is how badly we need a cross in Christianity. The Lord calls us into His Kingdom! And in order for us to live there we need to apply a cross to our own.
Isaiah 26 is the Word of the Lord for people who are experiencing the judgments of the Lord.
When the judgments of the Lord are on the earth they shift the dialogue that humanity has with God and with others. The chaos, social pressures, lifestyle changes and emotional turbulence that comes with the judgments constrain our hearts into conversations about the issues that the Lord wants to discuss with us. When His judgments are on the earth what we talk about, why we talk about it and how we talk about things – changes.
Sometimes the hardships bolster previously held belief patterns and lifestyle choices. Sometimes the new trouble confronts us with inadequate aspects of our world-view so that our hearts become open to see things through a new paradigm. Having conversations that lead us to embrace God’s perspective is THE point to every judgment of the Lord. The Lord calls this “learning righteousness”.
“When Your judgments are on the earth, the inhabitants of the word learn righteousness.” (Isaiah 26:12)
Whether we’re redeemed or unredeemed, righteous thinking doesn’t come automatically, or naturally to us. It’s a gift that comes from conversing with God about what’s in our heart. What we believe determines whether we’re embracing righteousness or unrighteousness.
It was in conversation with God that Abraham determined to believe God. Romans tells us that when Abraham embraced what God was saying and promising, “it was accounted to him for righteousness” (Romans 4:3). In other words, Abraham “learned righteousness” (or allowed himself to be embraced by God’s righteous order) when he believed what God was telling him about his life-situation.
Again, this is where all the judgments of the Lord are designed to take us.
For example, in March of 2020, a plague touched all 195 nations at the same time. Within a week the whole planet was talking about COVID; where it came from; how to protect ourselves; and how to respond to the civil and economic pressure it was imposing upon us etc. The Lord was forcing 7.4 billion souls into conversations about how vulnerable we were, and where we could find authentic stability and security.
Right now the inhabitants of the earth are having conversations about Russia and Ukraine and NATO. The Lord is allowing the international threat to confront our hearts with questions like, “Why is God allowing this to happen?”“Where can we find justice in a world filled with dangerous and evil intent?”. Every time we ask the Lord, “How do You want me to pray for Ukaraine?” We’re declaring, “We want to learn righteousness!” This is the dead-center, focused objective of all judgment: to bring our naturally wayward hearts and minds into agreement with His Son’s righteous ways. He wants us to think and pray and behave the way His Son does.
God’s righteousness learning process, however, presents humanity with a three-fold problem:
A. In order to learn how Jesus feels about a situation we must enter into conversation with Him. And when He’s brought an issue up, and the whole world is (knowingly or unknowingly) buzzing about the issues that He wants to talk about – well… no one wants to admit that they do not know something about something the whole world is talking about. This is especially true for Christian leaders and teachers. Admitting we don’t know is like saying, “I’ve not sought the Lord’s heart about this matter.” What prophet/pastor/teacher wants to admit that? Consequently, apart from having a humble, ardent, ground-breaking dialogue with the Lord we will and do default to carnal ways of thinking. This is the natural order of the world.
B. Secondly, when the enemy sees that we are not seeking the Lord, he will lead us by the nose with pride and introduce us to false and destructive lies about the circumstances. The Bible calls these false and destructive narratives “conspiracies” (2 Samuel 15:12; 2 Kings 15:15 & 30; Isaiah 8:12; Jeremiah 11:9: Ezekiel 22:25; Acts 23:13). Our pursuit of these figments and evil reports keep us angry, suspicious, malicious, self-justified and disconnected from the heart to heart conversations that the Lord wants to have with us. Bingo. This is the enemy’s goal.
Isaiah specifically warns us from letting conspiracies have this effect upon us: “Indeed this is what the Lord told me quite forcefully. He warned me not to act like these people: ‘Do not say, ‘Conspiracy,’ every time these people say the word. Don’t be afraid of what scares them; don’t be terrified. You must recognize the authority of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. He is the one you must respect; He is the one you must fear (in the time of judgment) He will become a sanctuary. But (He will also be) a stone that makes a person trip and a rock that makes one stumble.” (Isaiah 8:11-14)
C. If our primary response to the calamity that’s on the earth involves our hearts being bound up in conspiracies about rigged elections, globalists, deep state, race, healthcare collusion, church closures etc. etc. etc… we must understand – we’re being distracted from the main event! The Lord is returning to the earth, (Isaiah 40:3-5) and He is actively drawing His Bride to BE WITH HIM WHERE HE IS – in spirit and in truth. The Lord wants to talk to us about the real-time attitudes that are keeping us from leaning upon Him (Song of Songs 8:5). Instead, we’re preoccupied with digging up more dirt about sinister forces that are attached to unsubstantiated storylines. The conspiracies keep us independently eating from “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” (Genesis 3:22) and we never cultivate intimate dependence upon the Lord and what and why He, the Prime Mover, is actually doing on the earth.
What’s the solution?
One. Simple. Activity: PRAYER
“Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment.” (Isaiah 26:20)
Prayer is THE ONLY SOLUTION to the judgments of the Lord. As the famous revivalist SD Gordon once observed: “You can do more than pray after you pray; but you can do no more than pray until you pray.”
Prayer. Prayer, where we linger long before the glory of the Lord; where we receive revelation upon revelation of His perfect ability to lead weak people. Prayer, where we learn the importance of being silent before the revealed glory of the Lord. Prayer, where humility and repentance becomes our posture before the Eternal One. Prayer, where we learn the heart and ways and power of our King.
Prayer is where our deep convictions and narratives are forged. If we’re not praying we WILL miss the Lord’s point AND His plan for the judgments that are on the earth.
Millions of Bible-believing Christians will miss the purposes of the Lord during this hour – and perhaps even forfeit the righteous reign of the Lord, for one very simple reason – they never gave themselves to prayer.
SPIRIT WORD & CROSS
