Pastor Chris Dodge has been preaching a series entitled, “Foreshadowings: Remarkable Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament.”On the Third Day, the sixth in the series, shows how God uses even a seemingly inconsequential phrase to foreshadow the saving work of Christ.
Romans 8 reveals that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave, lives in us! Listen as Pastor Kevin Schuessler, in a Call to Action, encourages us to “Ask the Holy Spirit to resurrect new thinking in our minds.”
Today is the launch of Building a Prayer Wall for America. We are inviting people from all around the country to build a “Wall of Prayer” for America: Followers of Jesus in every state committed to daily prayer to God for a spiritual Awakening in our nation.
What could the future of America look like if God’s people came together in prayer for her? We invite you to join us and others from across this great nation in rebuilding the foundation on which America was established. Let us commit to praying for an awakening, for revival, for healing. One nation, under God, built and rebuilt on Jesus the Foundation.
BUILD A WALL OF PRAYER! By Pastor Chris Dodge
Our nation, dearly loved by all, needs our prayers.
These are critical times. It has nothing to do with partisan politics or political parties. It has everything to do with turning the hearts of people back to God. God desires that His people look to Him and that people everywhere come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Savior. Only that can renew a nation and only that can change the future. So we invite you to join us in prayer for our country for the next 52 weeks.
WHAT IS A PRAYER WALL? By Pastor Kevin Schuessler
A prayer wall is a spiritual wall that is a barricade to evil and holds people inside its walls together! It is doing by prayer what Nehemiah did physically. Nehemiah and God’s people were in a broken-down state. The city wall around Jerusalem was in shambles, allowing Israel’s enemies the ability to keep its citizens in a defeated state.
Be part of praying for America. Join us and others from across America in praying for revival, a Great Awakening, for the people, for the church, for our nation and our nation’s leaders. Join us today in building a prayer wall for America.

What difference could the Prayer Wall make?
The Prayer Wall protects us from easy access of the evil one into our lives and shuts down his plan to “kill, steal and destroy.” (John 10:10) Through prayer we seek to ask God for what he has already promised and desires for us – that we may have “life and have it to the full.” (John 10:10) This is what Jesus, our Good Shepherd promised to those who follow him. Let’s ask for God’s fullness for our people and our country, through Jesus Christ. Later in John 10, Jesus promised that “my sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27 NLT) What if because of the Wall of Prayer offered up by God’s people, we see this kind of response to God’s goodness – people listening to Jesus and following Him in their daily lives? Let’s believe and pray!
God listens and answers people’s prayers.
Nehemiah’s prayer was no small request. He was planning to ask his king for help, which could have gotten him killed! This is what he prayed to God before meeting with the king. “The people you rescued by your great power and strong hand are your servants. O Lord, please hear my prayer! Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you. Please grant me success today by making the king favorable to me. Put it into his heart to be kind to me.” (Nehemiah 1:10-11 NLT) God SO answered Nehemiah’s prayer! The king asked Nehemiah what his trouble was, and also what he could do! The king could have executed Nehemiah. (It was illegal to have a “bad day” around the king!) Instead, God answered Nehemiah’s prayer by causing the king to feel favorable towards Nehemiah and to be willing to help him. This same God who answered Nehemiah’s audacious prayer, answers ours! So let’s pray. Let’s ask specifically, audaciously, boldly for our country, for our people. Ask and pray as boldly as the Holy Spirit leads. And watch what God does!
