Dear Praying Elijah List Subscriber,
Our country is at war. Our people are divided, isolated, and polarized.
You and I are watching our very own government enacting draconian restrictions limiting how many people can gather in our own homes for the holidays. They're shutting down our churches. And they're closing our schools.
It's going to take thousands of prayer warriors like you and me to change the course of our nation.
That's why I'm asking you to sign the Prayer Pledge pleading with God to HEAL OUR LAND.
It certainly doesn't feel like the political landscape is going to miraculously heal or that our country will be in better hands in a Joe Biden America...
But I want to share a little story with you today.
It takes place in a country where the government established a 30-day restrictive ordinance on its people. A violation of the order would result in jail time and even potentially death.
Under this order, any citizen who practiced his faith, prayed to any God other than the nation's king, and didn't bow to the government would be punished.
You may feel like America could be headed in that direction...
...because when I see how the government is silencing free speech...arresting Christians for attending outdoor church services...and electing corrupt politicians and rulers...
I certainly wonder where the America I grew up in went? And how are we to fight to preserve those sacred American values of family, faith, and freedom?
Well, we have an example in one of the men who lived under the oppressive ruler I was telling you about earlier.
After the 30-day restriction had been signed, a brave man named Daniel went to his home, got on his knees – and prayed to God.
Just like he had always done...even before it was outlawed (Daniel 6:10-28).
So when I ask myself, how are we going to protect our nation from growing increasingly oppressive, I'm reminded that our first defense must to be to pray.
Will you do that with me today and sign the Prayer Pledge for God to HEAL OUR LAND?
I want millions of American Christians to know they're not alone...that you're praying too.
Let me step back and introduce myself—I'm David Kubal and I'm blessed to be the President and CEO of an army of prayer warriors called Intercessors for America (IFA).
Our mission at IFA is to inform, connect and mobilize intercessors to pray for our nation and our leaders.
Specifically, we desire to reach Christians nationwide with information and tools to unite them in effective prayer.
Our nation needs that today more than ever before in my lifetime.
That's exactly why I've written to you today.
And it's also the reason I've included this link to the Prayer Pledge pleading God to HEAL OUR LAND.
You see, 2020 in the United States of America isn't the first time the people of God have had to call on Him to heal their land.
Moses interceded with prayer for the nation of Israel in Exodus.
And the miracle is that Moses' prayers mattered—they worked. He cried out for mercy for the corrupt leaders and God answered.
You and I have that opportunity today.
Proverbs 29:2 says when the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
Well, Believers today are groaning for the same reasons believers groaned thousands of years ago:
- Corruption by their nation's leaders
- Over taxation
- Immorality in private and public life
But the beautiful truth is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
Will you humble yourself and seek God's face by signing the HEAL OUR LAND Prayer Pledge today?
We are comforted that it is our God who "changes times and seasons" and "deposes kings and raises up others" (Daniel 2:21).
It is not political parties, corrupt politicians, or the news media who wield the final power in our nation, it is God and praying Believers like you and me.
I'm not asking you to be sentenced to a lion's den like Daniel was in the Bible for his prayers.
I'm just asking you to enjoy the blessing we already have now to pray freely for our country.
Can I count on you to sign the HEAL OUR LAND Prayer Pledge today?
We need to reach as many believers as possible and get millions of Americans praying again for our nation.
But we can't do that without you.
