If we want change, then stop shouting. Get in your closets and pray harder for this nation

This is what the enemy fears the most - when more Christians start waking up and instead of rallying and protesting in public forums, get on their knees in prayer - this is when change really happens.

Pray for our nation and this world and ask God for forgiveness.

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. - Matthew 6:5-6

How about pray AND take action? or just take action?

Sometimes, God delivers you from evil. Other times, God delivers you the power to do it yourself.

We are firmly in the latter situation. If you think just kneeling in prayer is going to fix anything now, you’re wrong.

No, I firmly believe you're wrong.

A spiritual illness has afflicted our nation. You, as a mere human, do not have the power to battle these principalities.

In the same manner that we do not have the capacity to turn men's hearts from the world to the Lord, that is the working of the Holy Spirit.

The battle belongs to the Lord and the Lord alone.

This does NOT mean that we should compromise our values and beliefs as Christians and waver in the midst of societal pressure, instead we should stand firm and not be ashamed of the Gospel. However, I DO mean it is fallacious to think that somehow our physical actions can enact true change in the hearts of men.

I love this verse because my interpretation is that prayer becomes efficacious from within via the Holy Spirit. Not from outside virtue signaling.

I don't fear Christians praying in their closet. It's when they come out of the closet that I get nervous.

This is the mentality that got us into this mess. We can't sit back and pray that someone else will fix things. Only action will change things. Pray before and after but stay the hell out of the closet and get out in the streets.

"The Saving Remnant" will be on their knees, ts, to God for mercy as the "change" happens, and to our 'Government' overlords for access to their System that we might feed and care for our beloved ("buy and sell").

This Nation has become the proverbial "Babylon the Great", as it moves further away from a real Vision of Truth and Love...and serves the false/fake version. Consumerism ("idolatry"), Narcissism (vanity) and perversion of all kind has become our civilizational ethos. Though many struggle to hold love in their hearts in their familial and friend circles. The Devil's Angels will appear as "angels of light", and they will slay the Lord's Own believing "that they do God a favor". "By their fruits ye shall know them". The actions of those who gain power by lying and cheating speak more than the professions of good intentions toward the 'Cause' they proport to serve. The 'leadership' in DC and the National Base that supports them are delusional and corrupt to the core.

IMO, the prophetic "end time" scenario is at hand. Digital Currency will replace the inflated and soon to crash USD, with the "Great Reset" taking the stage.

This said, I do believe that Humanity must all get on the same page, and Jesus' mandate to "care for the least of our brethren" must happen in order to avoid competition for and the high tech wars that would come therein. I do believe that a 'One World Government' should and will become the civilizational model for the next paradigm, but such will not be successfully implemented via lies, deception, manipulation and 'herding cats'. Such will only come when Vision ('Second Coming) 'comes down' and what is left of Humanity embraces Jesus' Principle of Love, Mercy and Leadership. Good intentions won't cut it; we'll need Divine help as the appointed Shepherd of Humanity steps in to save us from ourselves and assumes the "chief cornerstone" of the next and utopian age of Human evolution. That I will pray for.

I haven't seen that.

But I do respect Tony Evans and appreciate his sermons.

Prayer doesn't work - just makes you feel more relevant.

Turning the other cheek hasn't worked so far, so sure, triple down on silence.
