Hey there. Thanks for listening to the Greg Laurie Podcast, a ministry supported by Harvest Partners. I'm Greg Laurie encouraging you.
If you want to find out more about Harvest Ministries and learn more about how to become a Harvest Partner, just go to harvest.org. Thank you, Greg. Oh, it's so good to see you.
Hi, y'all from Texas. And we love coming here. And thank you, Greg, for the invitation because I feel like just being here today that I'm stepping into something really wonderful, and that's revival. You know, there's an old saying that why not here? Why not now?
Why not us? And when I see what has happened over the years, of course, but even just most recently with the Crusade and the baptisms, I mean, folks, it's more than evangelism. I do believe that's revival in the hearts of God's people. And I'm, you could hear us cheering all the way from Texas, Yahoo, when we watched as well a quarter of a million people participating in the Crusade, those 5,000 decisions for Christ, 2,000 baptisms.
I love that. I told Greg I was going to steal that line, the happiest funeral you've ever been to because just the burial of baptism and raised to walk in newness of life. And of course, being a Baptist, I'm a Baptist guy, we like baptisms a whole lot. But truly, if any church knows the effect, the impact of revival, it is you. It is this wonderful church.
And so again, I feel like I'm stepping into something very wonderful. How many people have your Bibles here with you today? Let me see it.
All right. All right, those are real Bibles you're holding up there, not those fake Bibles on the phone. Now if you've got your phone, that's fine. I like a floppy Bible myself, but you know, it's a sign and I didn't question it because I was traveling here with someone who was just telling me today they used to go to a church and nobody brought their Bibles. And that's a bad sign when you're at a church and no one brings their Bible, but this person was saying, you know, I'm here at Harvest because Greg teaches God's Word and the other pastors and then of course people bring their Bibles. You came with your Bibles in your hands and, and your hearts as well. So I want you to take your Bibles and turn with me to Nehemiah chapter one. And as I was saying, if any church knows what revival is or has tasted it, has tasted it, it would be you.
And there's a song that I love, Lord do it again, do it again. And we need to pray at whatever level of revival we are experiencing either personally or as a church, at whatever revival we know that we would keep praying, Lord do it again and again and again and again. Revival of course is the deeper work of God in our lives. It's the clearer evidence of His presence and power within us. Revival affects the influence and the impact that a church has upon a community. It's a very powerful thing, this thing called revival.
I like what D. Martin Lloyd-Jones, a British preacher yesteryear said, he said, a revival awakens in our hearts an increased awareness of the presence of God, a new love for God, a new hatred for sin, and a hunger for His Word. And I certainly believe that is true. Because don't you believe that wherever you are in your Christian life, there is more. There's more. There's more for you, there's more for your family that God is able to do, to do exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or think according to the power that works in us. Yes, there is more, and there's more for you in this Christian life. Maybe you're a new Christian, maybe you're a part of the inflow of so many new believers here through the Harvest Ministries, and I'm here to say you're just getting started, but there's so much more. And you're going to grow in your faith and experience more and more of the presence of God. And here's the thing, God can do it again.
Sometimes we wonder, we look at our nation and we look at the world and we wonder, could it even happen again? Could the revivals we read about in the Scripture and revivals we've heard about in yesteryear, and even what's happening here among you in these days, or the Jesus revolution, which was, as Greg has so beautifully testified, was the last great American or spiritual awakening in America, we should say. And I was a young person in the middle of that back in Texas.
It took different forms over in Texas than it did over here on the west coast, but we were experiencing it as young people. And it was a great revival, and so many of us were called to preach the gospel or to go to mission fields or to serve the church as a result of that. And the fruit that Greg was talking about in your church, that has remained, and we're grateful for that. But can God do it again? Of course He can, because God is able when we are available, and that's the story of Nehemiah. Revival literally means to live again, revive, to live again. Someone described it as a new beginning of obedience to God. And God can and will do it again when we seek Him. He promises it. This is a promise of God.
It's a promise of His Word that He will bless those and pour out His Spirit upon those who seek Him and desire Him. Yes, God can do it again. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God hasn't changed. He is unchangeable and powerful.
I think some people think God's gotten older now and He can't do what He used to do. No, there's never been a better time for revival than right here, right now, with us today. How many of you love this country?
I do. And we so appreciate with gratitude to God the freedom and the faith and the families that were birthed as a part of our nation, but we know, we know our nation is in trouble, big trouble. And the walls are down, and we're going to be talking about some walls today in the book of Nehemiah. And I'm not talking about a wall on the southern border, as important as that may be, but I'm talking about the spiritual walls of this nation that are on the ground, the walls morally and internationally and economically and spiritually and domestically. We've heard politicians say it that we, Donald Trump has said it openly, we are in a nation in decline.
And when you hear someone say it, you think, oh, we love America, we love our country, and we don't want to admit that we are a nation in decline, but we are. And particularly spiritually, Nehemiah is the story of rebuilding broken walls surrounding Jerusalem that took place five centuries before Christ. And so, you have to ask yourself, what does old walls crumbled around an ancient city in Jerusalem five centuries before Christ have to do with me?
Well, of course, the story is about you and me. It's the journal, the book of Nehemiah. It's the journal, I hope you journal, of how God used him to rebuild the broken walls of a city in ruins. And as a result, it was more than the rebuilding of walls, but it was revival in the people. And there's a great revival that takes place in the book of Nehemiah, but it all began in the heart of one man who was living far away from Jerusalem. He was living in exile in Persia, and he was a cup-bearer to the king. It shows us that God does extraordinary things through ordinary people.
And though he had a quite important job to be the cup-bearer of the king, he was still a slave, he was still a cup-bearer. And so in verse 1 of chapter 1 of Nehemiah, the words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah, now it happened in the month of Chislev in the 20th year as I was in Susa, the citadel, that Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, that is those who had escaped captivity and had gone back to Jerusalem, who had survived the exile and concerning Jerusalem. Ha, Jerusalem, the city of the great God, the city. And so he asks, he inquires and he says, you know, what's going on back in Jerusalem?
Why did he even care? Verse 3 says, they said to me, the remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. So many people today in trouble and living in shame. That's the work of Satan. And the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates are destroyed by fire. Now just quickly, just background, the walls of the city had to do with separation of course of the city from the countryside, but it was primarily there for protection and security of the nation. And though they had rebuilt the temple and they were worshiping and they had rebuilt to some degree the city, the walls were down and they were exposed to enemies who would attack them. And so the walls of security were down and protection were down and these walls in Jerusalem, they also signified and symbolized the glory of God. The walls of Jerusalem and they're on the ground. They're in ruins on the ground. So verse 4, as soon as I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
Maybe we should start with a question. What makes you weep? What kind of brokenness and pain that we see around us sends us to our knees? Someone said, when you're swept off your feet, get on your knees. So this man, Nehemiah, who was a patriot, sometimes we're told that Christians shouldn't be patriotic or patriots regarding their country, whatever country they may be in.
Well, you know, Nehemiah loved his country and he loved the people of his country and so he cared deeply. And I believe that we as Christians, we as Christians, as followers of Jesus, we also, I'm unapologetically patriotic regarding our country and I want to see America do well again. I want to see our country recover. We have children and grandchildren. When Greg and I first met all those 30 years ago, we didn't have grandchildren, and now we do. And we're looking at the future of our families and really when you look at the brokenness of this country, this message that I'm preaching to you today is an adaptation of one I did regarding the family back at our church in Dallas, because I was talking about how the family needs to come home to God. And we are seeing the breakdown of the family in America. The family is the essential center of culture and community in our society. And if we are going to restore America, it will start by rebuilding the home and the family. And at the center of a home, and homes and families look different, we know that. And so that's a disclaimer from what I'm about to say, but in God's Word, in God's culture of the family, there is a godly mom and a dad who are loving and praying for their children who confess Christ as the head of the home and are leading their children to know and love and follow God. This is the legacy that we live.
I'm not so much worried about leaving a legacy as living a legacy, because if you live a legacy, the leaving of it will take care of itself. We have the brokenness of our homes and our families, and so certainly Satan attacks the family. This breaks our hearts, doesn't it? As a pastor, you as a believer, you live in community, and you see perhaps in your own home with your own children the brokenness that is all around us. Our greatest enemy in this country is within. The enemy is in the gates, the moral depravity and the spiritual darkness. We see the crime and the violence and the immorality and the profanity and the homosexuality and the sexual perversion and the adultery and the divorce and the fornication, and we have to conclude that we have lost our way. We are a prodigal nation that needs to come home.
Revival is when we come home to Him, when we come back to Him. America is a great nation because God made her great. We were founded upon biblical principles and Christian principles and dependence upon Almighty God. Just read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
You can't rewrite history on this. We have fallen far away from the foundation. The walls are down. The walls of our national security, the walls of domestic tranquility, the walls of moral purity, all these walls are on the ground. But, what Nehemiah shows us is that God uses people who are willing to risk anything and everything to be a catalyst for renewal and revival in our communities. And it starts with our families. Again, most of the social ills today in America trace back to the destruction, the breakdown of the home and the family. Someone said, a family can survive without a nation, but a nation cannot survive without a family.
I believe that's true. We know that biblical marriage is under attack. Pastor Greg is going to take on these issues.
I'm so glad and I know you are glad that he is. He's gonna go where angels fear to tread at some point because it's not always popular to express the biblical worldview, but that's what we do. In our church we talk a lot about worldview.
Yes, there's liberalism, progressivism, and conservativism, and all those isms, but really it's what's going on in our country and in the world today is a war of worldviews and of spiritual battles. So, ultimately, what's going to happen in our nation? It's not a choice between Trump or Harris or whoever shows up next.
That's not the choice. I hope you're involved. I hope you vote.
I hope you participate. I hope you know the issues and listen as Pastor Greg instructs from God's Word on the issues and when we get there we'll vote our Bibles and we'll vote our worldview and our faith and all the rest. But ultimately, the choice is not between two political candidates, even for president, but the choice in America for the church today is revival or ruin.
Revival or retribution. Someone said that the problem in America is that the world is desperate and we're not. And you know, in my own life I've seen this and I've seen it in churches through the years that if we can live without revival, we will.
You hear what I'm saying? You know, we get to a place where the complacency takes over and the compromise takes over. And if we can live without it, if we think life is pretty good, my family's OK, if we can live without revival, we will. But we need to get to the place of Nehemiah when he heard about the brokenness, when he heard about the pain, when he saw the hurt of the city of the great God on the ground in ruins, that's what I'm talking about.
It's either revival or ruin and it ought to break our hearts. He wept and he mourned and he fasted. Again, he took some risks. He could have stayed right where he was and lived out his life and of course we would have never heard of him.
But because he made a difference in the world in his time, we're still talking about this man today. I'm looking forward to meeting Nehemiah in heaven. How about you? I hope you read his book. Don't be that guy when Nehemiah walks up to you and says, hey, what'd you think about my book?
You go, uh. No, read it. Read your Bible through and through. By the way, I have a thing that we've been doing the last several years called The Bible in a Year. It's on Pray.com and we've seen over 50 million people download The Bible in a Year and it's just a little application at the top and a close at the beginning right through the Scripture because, you know, a lot of people start reading the Bible and they want to get through it and then they get a case of Leviticus as they get going and stop. But we get you through Leviticus and all through the Bible and all the Bible is the story of Jesus. It's the story of redemption and salvation and so read your Bible.
But it's revival or ruin or rubble. If we do not come back home as a nation, this prodigal nation will face the judgment of God. We may already be experiencing the hand of God taken off our nation. Unlike any nation on earth, and I know we have people who are listening from all and watching from all over the world, and God loves every person and every nation in every country, but we love our nation here in America as Christians because we've seen God's hand of blessing and favor upon us and we are in danger.
Are you hearing me? We are in danger of losing it all if we do not awaken and revive our hearts in the presence of the Lord. So He seeks the Lord and asks for God's plan and provision during this time of prayer, this season of prayer. Prayer produces God's purpose and plans in our lives. So for three to four months He's praying. God gives Him a vision. When God guides, He provides and He's willing to go to the King and ask permission to go to leave His job and to go back to Jerusalem and to lead the nation in a revival in the rebuilding of the walls. So what happens?
How does that happen? Number one, recognize the power and presence of God. When you read His prayer in verses four and five, look at it again, it says, as soon as I heard these words, sat down, wept, mourned for days. And verse five says, here's what He prayed, O Lord God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments. So in His prayer, He begins with praise and worship to God. Psalm 34, one, I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise will continually be in my mouth. When you pray, don't start with the problem that you may be facing or the predicament that you may find yourself, but start with praise.
You start with God when you're in a situation, if you've got broken walls around you or brokenness in your own life, you start with recognizing the power and presence of God. That's what He does because praise in prayer puts us in the position to hear from God. And He says, God, you are a great and awesome God. God, you are greater and bigger. You keep your promises.
You are awesome. You are always working, as the Psalm says, even when we can't see it, even when we can't feel it. God is still working. And I, I just like to say, you know, there is no person too hard for God to save. There is no sin too great for God to forgive. There's no mountain too great for God to crush. There is no brokenness too great for God to heal. There is no despair too great for God to repair. There is nothing our God cannot do. That's where we start when we pray. And that's where Nehemiah started because in his brokenness, in his tears, in his pain, he needed to know that God was greater than anything.
God's grace is greater, God's power is greater than anything that we face. And then the second thing that he did that we should do, if we want revival, I like that little saying that says revival is God's finger pointed at me. So if you want personal revival as well as revival around you, you know, you start with praying to a God who is greater than anything that you're facing, greater than your sin, grace greater than your sin, but then repent of personal and public sin. Read again verses six and seven in chapter one, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to the ear of your prayer of your prayer of your servant. And by the way, he calls himself a servant of God eight times in this passage. I am your servant.
And a lot of people want to lead, but they're not willing to serve. He wasn't looking for a leadership position, he wanted to serve God. And so he said, your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we, includes himself, have sinned against you. Even my Father's house have sinned and we've acted corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments and the statutes and the rules that you have commanded your servant, Moses.
So what's he doing here? In his prayer, after he praises God and worshiped Him, he realized in the presence of God, like Isaiah saw the Lord high lifted up and he said, I'm a man of unclean lips in the midst of a generation of unclean lips. He saw himself in the white hot holiness and purity and the righteousness of God. And he knows the sin of the people and he knows his own sin and he's repentant. That's often a missing word, even in the pulpits of our country. Repentance, talk about where angels fear to tread, many preachers fear to preach repentance. But Jesus came after John the Baptist as well, preaching repentance, which means to turn around, let God change your life and forgive your sins, to repent. And that's what He's saying. Because if we're going to experience revival in our lives, then God needs to do a work of grace in us to forgive us and change us.
We can't go on in our disobedience, in the lie, in the stealing, in the cheating, in the lusting, all the things. I love the story. There was a preacher long ago by the name of Norman Vincent Peale and when he was a little boy, he said he was walking down a pathway and he found the remains of a half of a cigar. He was just a little boy, eight or nine years old. And so he decided he wanted to smoke the rest of that cigar, knowing that his dad would forbid him for doing that. But he did it anyway and he picked up this cigar and he began to smoke it. And about that time he heard his father coming around the corner. So he knew he only had really one choice and that was to hide the cigar and to distract his father. So when his father turned around, or turned the corner, he said, oh father, father. He said, there's a circus in town.
Let's go to the circus. To which his father replied, Norman, never make a plea for grace when you are hiding a smoldering disobedience behind your back. We can't hide our sins behind our back because we can't hide our rebellion and our disobedience to God from Him.
He knows. And that's why we say revival is God's finger pointed at me and so for revival to happen in us and through us then, then we have to be willing to ask God to search our hearts and to cleanse us from unrighteousness. God is looking for obedience and dependence upon Him. You know, obedience to God is trusting God with your circumstances and conditions and believing God to do what only He can do to obey Him. Is there some area in your life where you need to come clean with God?
If we confess our sins, 1 John 1.9, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is revival, isn't it? It's the renewal, it's the cleansing of our souls. And when revival comes, it's when Christians get right with God.
It's when we fall on our faces before God and ask Him to change our hearts. You know, the problems in America, as I was saying, will not be resolved in the next election or changing administrations as Washington or at any level of government, as important as these things are. Things could get worse. Our cities could become more violent.
The family could disintegrate more and more and evil would prevail over good. But the brokenness of our country might seem so strange to so many people because Christians are just kind of living in the middle of it without repentance, without change. I mean, you've heard all these statistics.
I've heard Greg give some of these. Ninety-four percent of Americans say they believe in God. Eighty-four percent of Americans believe that Jesus is God.
Sixty-six percent, according to one thing that I read, say that they've made a personal commitment to follow Jesus. Three-fourths say they believe the Bible. And yet a biblical worldview, a biblical worldview, what is that? That's seeing the world through the lens of Scripture. Not interpreting the Bible through the lens of culture, but interpreting the culture through the lens of the Bible. That's a worldview. And so, yet so many Christians say it's between six and ten percent of so-called Christians in America have a biblical worldview. No wonder we've got some churches that are flying flags right out of the devil's closet. Because we're not teaching the Bible. Thank God that you have a pastor who loves you enough and cares for the work of this church enough that he's going to deal with the great issues that we're now facing as a country and as a nation.
So, enter Nehemiah. He prays, we praise to God who is awesome and great. He repents of His sin and the sin of people around Him. Can we pray for other people to repent? Of course we can, and of course we should. Revival is for Christians.
You know that. Unbelievers don't need revival. They need salvation in Jesus Christ. They need a new life and a new birth. Those who have no spiritual life can't be revived. And people without Jesus are dead in their trespasses and sin. But the question for us today as believers and followers of Jesus, if you are, are you a believer who needs revival? Does your family need a spiritual renewal and a new beginning of obedience to God? When revival happens, I promise you, lots of people will get saved. People in your own family will come to Christ when you are revived. Christians who are lukewarm and lazy in their faith accomplish very little.
The thing about Nehemiah is he had this passion and compassion for people. My prayer for our church back in Dallas is that we would give 100% to Jesus Christ. That we would all be all in.
And as the world grows darker, that we would grow brighter. Let us as the church of Jesus Christ love, be a people who love God. Men and women who love and serve their, men who serve their wives and wives who are godly, devoted servants of their families. Children who grow up and honor in a church that is vibrant and healthy and creative.
Like harvest. Get your children in this church. Make sure your grandchildren are one like it. In America, this is not a time to despair in my view, but it is a time to repair. To rebuild the broken walls, the rebuilding of our families. Just as God rebuilt and repaired the broken city of Jerusalem through Nehemiah and the team that worked with him, the people were revived, restored. There was a revival at a place called Watergate, imagine that.
They had revival at Watergate. And, and the Word of God was open. But we desperately need Jesus. Take responsibility for your own life, your own spiritual walk, and own it. And if you need to pray, God I'm wrong and I need to get right with you, no more excuses, no more rationalizations, no more justification. Repent of anything in your life that deviates from the Word of God. And then thirdly, agree with God's promises. Verses 8 and 9, I love this. It says, remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying if you are unfaithful I will scatter you among the peoples. But, if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them through, though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place that I have chosen to make my name dwell there.
What's he saying? Remember God's Word. And not just remember it, but agree with it. Agree with what God has said and align your life with the Word of God, which will produce the will of God in your life. Plead the promises of God. When you come across a promise in God's Word, that's what he's saying here.
I remembered your Word. How many times have we been in a situation in our lives when we were in trouble, or our family was in trouble, or something was going on around us and we remembered what God said? That's why it's so important there are thousands of promises in God's Word.
That's why we need to know them. So read and rehearse the promises of God, remember them, and dare I say, when you come up to a situation in your life when you don't know what to do or where to go or how to respond, you just point to God's Word and say, God you said. This is why we pray the Scripture.
God, you said this. And I am claiming your promise. I am choosing to believe your Word, which is inerrant, infallible, and eternal. It's the Word of God. I've got a book coming out this fall, I call it the Jesus book. And yes, it's the Bible, it's God's book, it's the Bible of God, it's the Word of God, but I'm calling it the Jesus book because it's so full of Jesus from beginning to end. All the way through, as I said earlier, it's the story of salvation, it's the story of how God loves us and how God sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross from our sins and to rise again on the third day. This is the message of the Bible and chalked through and through His Word are these wonderful promises.
Claim them, choose them, underline your Bibles, memorize it, take notes, personalize it, pray it in, live it out. This is what He's doing. God, I remember Your Word. One of these days, a country preacher by the name of Vance Havner once said, one of these days somebody's going to pick up this book, read it, believe it, and do it, and the rest of us are going to be ashamed of ourselves. Let's believe God's Word for all it is worth.
That's what He's doing here. That's how revival comes. When you just sort of draw a little circle around your own life and stay there till He revives your own heart, open God's Word. Sometimes the Word of God will run you through like a sword, like a scaffold, and reveal the healing that you need. But get into the Word of God. Agree with God's promises. Get in obedience to Him. And then lastly, cry out for God's favor and blessings. Verses 10 and 11 said, they are your servants and your people whom you have redeemed by your great power. Do you know who you are? You're a servant of God.
You've been redeemed by the great power of God at the cross and the resurrection. Oh Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name. What's missing in our country is the fear of God. But of all people we as Christians should fear Him and that means to love Him and honor Him and respect Him. To fear God, to believe and trust in Him and give success to your servant today and grant Him mercy in the sight of this man, that man being the king.
And he would go to the king and get letters and permission and even financial provision to go back to Jerusalem and to change the world. Revival is when we pray that God would be honored and that His mercy would move. So be faithful to Him. Be it in the fellowship of your church faithfully.
Get in a Bible study. Be in worship every week. Why wouldn't we be here every Sunday? Why wouldn't you worship with God and His people every week? Let me close with the consummate passage on revival in the Scriptures.
II Chronicles 7, 14, for if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and turn, sometimes we hear this quoted and it's left out, turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their lands. Let's pray together. Lord, why not here? Why not now?
Why not us? And God, we are seeing so much of your hand moving among the people of Harvest and through them in these days. To the wonderful pastor of this church and the pastoral team and all the volunteers and those who serve, I know this is a church praying for revival and participating in your work on earth.
So Lord, do it again and again and again. Lord, bring your church together across this nation. May your people cry out to you as a great and awesome God. May we turn from our sin and trust in you and you only.
May we honor you in all our ways and fear you from our hearts. And we pray that as a result Lord, not only will our lives be changed but our children and our grandchildren, that we would invest in not only today but in tomorrows and the generations that are to come. If you do not come in our generation, nor we do look forward to your appearance, we pray, oh Lord Jesus, even as John prayed, even so come Lord Jesus in this so much we would just say, Lord just come on and get us. But until then, Lord, may we be true and trustworthy and prayerful and passionate and make a difference in our world through Jesus Christ our Lord. And now with heads still bowed and eyes still closed and those of you watching online as well, if you don't know Christ as your Savior, all of this talk about revival that you've heard. Did you hear me say, if you don't have Jesus in your life, you don't need revival, you need life, you need salvation. Jesus died so that you could live. God demonstrated His love toward us and while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. And if you will confess your sin and believe and trust in Christ, He will save you. Which means, what does you say, what does that even mean? It means that all your sins can be forgiven and will be forgiven.
All of them, past, present and future. It means that you are forgiven. What a beautiful message. You can be forgiven and then not only does it mean that all of our sins are forgiven but Christ lives in us. Lives in us.
It's just not behavior modification and changing our ways or getting religion. Jesus lives in us. He is alive in us and the power of His resurrection works in us. And it also means, praise God, when you're saved that you know, that you know that you're going to heaven.
Do you know that? If not, pray this prayer. Lord Jesus, I believe and trust in you that you died for me and for my sins on the cross. I believe you rose again that you live, that you are Lord. And so right now, I trust you as my Savior and I will follow you as my Lord. Come into my life.
Change my heart, oh God. Make me a new person by the power of your salvation. And then if you have and are praying that prayer, then say Lord, I will obey you for the rest of my days. I will be baptized because I want others to know what you've done in my life.
I will begin praying and living for Christ and studying my Bible and growing in my faith because Lord, I love you and I want others to love you back. So Lord, I pray that during this time of decision that your Holy Spirit will work in every heart and every life, revive your people, save the lost, change our country by the power of your Spirit. We pray for spiritual awakening by your grace and power. Let us be like Nehemiah on our knees, on our faces before you, for our families and for the future of our children.
For we pray in Jesus' name, Amen and Amen. Hey everybody, thanks for listening to this podcast. To learn more about Harvest Ministries, follow this show and consider supporting it. Just go to harvest.org. And to find out how to know God personally, go to harvest.org and click on Know God.
