“‘HEART OF AMERICA”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 494

September 29, 2020///

I want to share with you today some thoughts on the Heart of this Nation.

On Saturday I witnessed tens of thousands of people in Washington D.C. at      “Prayer March 2020”!   If you have not seen this, I urge you to take the time to watch the recording of it at the prayermarch2020.com website. It is two hours and thirty minutes long but well worth the time.

As I sat and watched people from all over America of every race and creed, come together to call on God I was filled with the knowledge that in spite of all the bad news and chaos and ugliness we see portrayed in the news media, this was the Heart of America in action.

Through the vison of Franklin Graham who is no stranger to Americans, this prayer march started at the Lincoln Memorial and ended at the Capital.  In between were stops to pray at the: World War Two Memorial, Washington Monument, White House, Museum of African America & History, and the National Archives.

At each prayer stop various parts of our nation was lifted.  In action we saw carried out the words to a song that was sung by John Rick called “Earth to God”!  It will bless you to listen to that song.  

As I shared a couple of weeks ago, God is the only answer to this country’s problems and yes those of the entire world.

James 5:16 (KJV)
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Ephesians 6:18 (KJV)
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

As I watch with tears and faith and hope arising in my heart, I knew that in houses, apartments, and other places all over this great nation people were viewing and like I was joining is praying for the people and situations in the Greatest Nation on earth.

My heart was so full of understanding that what I was seeing and experiencing is indeed the “Heart of this Nation”. 

God’s precious people may not be as vocal as those who want to spread evil and discord but are powerful as they call on the one who created it all.  In our homes, places of business, shopping, and churches, we are mighty when we recognize from whom all blessings flow and who has the answers.

We may feel sometimes that we are a lone voice for God in a world gone crazy, but may I assure you that just as God assured Elijah that he had many who had not bowed to the enemy, God has many multitudes in this nation who are trusting and lifting up every faze of this Nation to Him.

Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Today, whether you are home bound, or out among many people or anywhere in between, know that you have power when you call on Father God, through the Lord Jesus Christ!

Are you discouraged by all you see? Lift up your head and understand that the people who do know their God will do great exploits! By connecting through prayer, being obedient to the direction they are given and understanding that they are created on purpose, for a purpose, these people can change our world.

All of us are called to pray and intercede. This is what will bring the Kingdom of God to this earth just as He desires.  What if our prayers and intercession, or lack thereof is what is standing between God’s will prevailing or evil prevailing in our world?

Are we like Peter, James and John who fell asleep in the garden, before the crucifixion, when Jesus had asked them to watch and pray?

Maybe it is not sleep but being busy, wrong priorities and any other number of things that keep us from praying.  Maybe we think our little prayers will not change anything.  Think of your prayer as a snowflake, by itself it is not refreshing, nor does it cover the ground with beautiful white purity, but joined with other snowflakes it becomes a purity that whitens the earth and brings joy to many.

As our prayers reach the throne room of heaven and are joined with prayers from all over the world, we will see change in people’s hearts and actions.

I understand that I wrote on prayer a couple of weeks ago but at this point in our nation we cannot stress or participate in prayer enough.  God will hear and God will answer.  May your heart be filled with the presence of hope as you understand that the heart of the United States of America is Faith in Almighty God and prayer.

As we wake up and stand in the gap, God will hear!!!

Father, thank you for the privilege of prayer. May we as your people take advantage of the advantage we have in prayer.  Nothing will affect our nation and our world like prayer.  Fill each person who reads this full of that knowledge. In Jesus Name I pray.

PRAY!!! Love, MeMaw
