Psalm 11:3, David says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?” God’s people say, “We shall rebuild it!”

Today is day 1 of 5 which will answer your questions about joining us in building a prayer wall for America. We extend an invitation to people all across America. Construction kicked off on March 12th with a message from Pastor Chris Dodge.

Are you stirred by the recent events in our country?

Are you a believer and follower of Jesus Christ?  Me too.  How would He have us respond?  Let’s do what Jesus did.  He defeated the evil one’s plans and worked to usher in the kingdom of God.  Through His death and resurrection, Jesus has given us the authority and power to defeat the evil one’s plans and work, and to serve as His agents to help bring about God’s kingdom in our world now.  And specifically into our local settings.

What are we experiencing?

In our context today, we are seeing the evil one take ground that doesn’t belong to him – through division, hatred, misunderstandings, animosity, etc.  The evil one would have us fight each other rather than him.  God reminds us our enemy is NOT flesh and blood (each other), but the “rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Eph 6:12).  What an appropriate word for believers during this time in our history when America’s godly foundation now lays in ruins much like the wall around Jerusalem in Nehemiah’s day.

Is it time for a shift?

What if we took our national angst and applied it to a spiritual fight?  God encourages us to “stand firm, let nothing move you, always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).  While the enemy would have us be distracted or engrossed in earthly ambitions and squabbles, God is calling us do something significant to change the world!
