Several times recently the picture you see to your left has been forwarded to me by different friends. Each time my eyes see this photo taken in New York City it pierces my spirit as I see the dedication of the Muslims towards Allah and wonder how many of God's people across this land are willing to humble themselves, go to their knees before our HOLY Father, and pray on behalf of our nation and its leaders. When I see the willingness of the Muslim to regularly bow to their god, Allah, I think of Believers standing in services across our land observing the very few who bend their knees in prayer to our God, crying out to Him for His mercy upon this nation. I so wonder what would happen if the entire congregation bowed to our God from their seats in the congregation, not just the few at the altar. What would it be like if we bowed regularly and only a few are left standing, rather than vice versa? I can only imagine ... oh, Lord, touch the hearts of your people.
I ask, "Father, what will it take to cause your people to bow to you and cry out for your hand to move across this land and turn the hearts of our country back to you? Lord, must it take devastation to awaken us to the reality that the Muslim people seem more dedicated to worshipping their god than what the Church is to YOU ... the ONE AND ONLY GOD!! Father, awaken your Church to repent from their sins of omission and move upon them to cry out to you!! Move in the hearts of your children across this land to go to their secret places where there is no public recognition for their lip service to you. Move on your children to recognize that you are simply wanting to turn our nation back to YOU and away from our self-promotion, self-gratification, our greed, and perverted morals and lifestyles. I ask you, Father, to release the spirit of Elijah who proved to the prophets of Baal whose God is the REAL GOD as FIRE came down and consumed their sacrifice. May the CONSUMING FIRE of HEAVEN move upon the altars of all of our hearts as we sacrifice our PRAISE AND WORSHIP OF THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD!!"
I pray for the day when those who we see bowing to Allah will see with their eyes and hearts the power of our God demonstrated as He shows Himself faithful to those who do humble themselves before Him!
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."
Matthew 6:5
"If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
II Chronicles 7:14
