Rekindle… Promised Messiah
The “paper trail” of the Hebrew Scriptures, written down over the centuries preceding the birth of Jesus, clearly point to Him as the promised Messiah, the one who had come to deliver us all!
Rekindle… Integrity
Integrity (or lack of it) shows itself in the way we live. The example of Daniel in the Bible show us how personal conduct should match true faith in God!

Rekindle… Joy
What is the difference between happiness and joy? Happiness depends on favorable circumstances, but true joy depends on the Lord and can be found in all circumstances!

A 40 Days of Prayer Closing Note from Pastor Dodge
Dear Friends,
Thank you for joining us during our 40 Days of Prayer for America and in praying heartfelt prayers for God to break through our country’s current rebellion and to bring forth revival.
Let us continue to seek God’s face in earnest, to come before Him in humility and to continue to pray for our country that we all dearly love. God loves it too and He loves all who live in it. He wants them all.
During these 40 focused days of prayer, we asked God to heal our land, turn hearts back to Himself, restore families, rebuild homes, remake marriages, restore communities, break down hostility between groups, and that He would bring revival to each of us, then the church and then to America. We prayed for a wave of revival to break out across America and beyond.
What did God do in your life during these past 40 days? In the lives of those around you? We’d love to hear your stories! Reach out to us at 612-545-5654 x3 and tell us what God has done, or is doing! Or email us at mail@awakeusnow.com with your story.
If you would like to chat with one of our staff or would like prayer, please reach out by calling Pastor Kevin at 612-545-5654 x4 or Care Minister Bob at 612-545-5654 x5 or staff member Ann at 612-545-5654 x6. Or simple text us at 612-545-5654. Or email us at prayer@awakeusnow.com.
In closing, let us continue to go forth into the world with the Light of Jesus shining. Let us testify to His love with everyone we interact with and let His Light shine forth in the darkness.
God’s abundant blessings,
Pastor Chris Dodge
Epilogue to Our 40 Days of Prayer for America
Bible Text
Romans 8:38-39 (KJV) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
These are the Last Days
In these last times, these last days, Jesus is calling us back to Himself. That isn’t accomplished through mindless religion, or through halfhearted faith, but through wholehearted commitment to Him. It’s about having a true relationship with Him! The times we live in can be pretty unsettling due to the unsure nature of events happening in the world around us. But as Paul said NOTHING can separate us from God’s love, not our hurts or pains, not what’s going on around us, NOTHING can separate us from the love that God has for us because of what the Savior did for us! That is a truth we can hang onto!
We all need a Savior and Jesus is that Savior. What He offers is not a little religious instruction and not merely a little spiritual knowledge. What Jesus offers is Himself and that changes EVERYTHING! It changes you, it changes me and it changes the world!
What is your relationship with God like? Is it personal or do you hold Him an arm’s length away? What qualities might one find in a relationship with God? Openness, honesty, unconditional love, forgiveness, communication, … (add to the list) Are those qualities evident in your relationship with God? How do others, those around you, view your relationship with God?
Prayer: Thank Jesus that because of what He did on the cross, nothing can separate you from the love God has for you. Talk to God about your relationship with Him…. Share and engage in your relationship with Him in a way that others will notice. Let them see His love in you and from there let God begin to change them, too.

Day 40 of 40 Days of Prayer for America
Bible Text 2 Chronicles 6:21
May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive.
A praying remnant can change everything. A remnant of believers has the ear of God, it’s just that simple. And I believe one of the reasons in these desperate days why God has restrained a hand of judgment upon our land is because of a remnant of pray-ers.
We need to understand how serious the times are. We need to understand that this is a serious and difficult day. We need to understand that the church has often fallen asleep, and we need to pray that God would turn the hearts of His people back to Him. Unless the hearts of His people return to Him the nation will never turn back to Him. The nation will not turn because we say, “You’re doing bad and terrible things.” The nation turns when the hearts of God’s people turn to Him in repentance and say, “Lord, have mercy on us.” A heart that is humble before God, is a heart that God can use to change and motivate the hearts of others.
Take Him seriously and understand the critical nature of this hour. Come before the Lord in constant prayer recognizing that politics will not change the future, but prayer turns the nation around. Prayer is heard by God who does incredible things. If the prayer of Elijah could turn Israel back from drought to fruitfulness, then the prayer of a remnant can change our land as well. Rather than spending our time moaning and groaning about what is happening, and what is going on with our morality, and what is taking place in our culture, I believe God is calling us to be on our knees before Him, and to understand when the enemy says, “Oh, one person can’t do anything about this,” that one person with God is a majority! One person with the living God is one who is equipped with power to change the future!
The Lord is calling us to take Him seriously and take prayer seriously. You can vote, you can express your opinions, you can display your flag, but in the end the prayers of God’s people alone can turn the land around, beginning with the church.
Prayer: Join with us as we get down on our knees today to pray for America.
