Prayer, not money, moves the Hand of God in any country, it takes a humble heart to ask, seek, and knock before the throne of the King of kings, the God of the Universe, the Alpha and Omega. "Now this is what the Lord Almighty says:
Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but have never enough.
You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are never warm.
You earn wages, only to put them in purses with holes in it."
(Haggai 1:5-6)
Millions of tithes and offerings
Do not a revival make,
But it takes prayerful interceding
And faith to knock on heaven's gate.
Many wayward churches today
Wallow in money-focused preaching
Hoping to buy the souls astray
In the Mercedes Benz they're riding.
Buy the planes, so off they go
With Rolex watches and Ralph Laurens,
Win souls in style, so men will know
We're spending well to reach out men.
But God never needed our money
When He comes He will not ask "How much?"
For surely He will account the "How many?"
Not the lofty cathedrals, wealth and such!
He showed us all His work in Korea
Where Christians wail and pray in the mountains,
Crying to God for the souls' metanoia
And the outpouring of His Spirit once again.
The people there pray like their life's at stake,
And their churches' growth are phenomenal,
God shows us He answers prayers they spake
And the souls are won into life eternal.
Prayer breaks down evil strongholds
In government, towns, and in families,
It unleashes the Power that God holds-
It is the key to setting the captives free.
Pray and weep for the souls in your country!
For the battle is not of flesh and blood
Use this mighty weapon in your armory,
Fight the war on your knees where victory's had!
There is nothing that frightens Evil away
Than the sight of God's child crying in prayer!
He shudders in fear when you kneel down to pray
For he knows it is time for him to surrender!
"Metanoia" -genuine repentance for sins
"captives" - people imprisoned by hate, bitterness, unforgiveness, unbelief, racism, animosity, depression, and poverty, addiction, family conflicts
Prayers, sadly enough, is been used today for many to attain material things, nothing spiritual there. It's refreshing to know from time to time, that there are islands of God's true believers among the sea of false prophets.
He Keeps Me is a devotional journey of revelation and insight birthed out of prayer.Searching the Word of God revealed the many ways that He has kept me and continues to keep me. Each day is an opportunity to recognize that God is mindful of you, eve
