January 1


Thankfulness is such a critical aspect of our intercession and an expression of our reliance on our Almighty God.  A thankful heart releases us from the constant barrage of negative news and the depressing reality that life brings. 

Psalm 100:4 says, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” This is to be our beginning posture.  We must begin our intercession by thanking God for all that He does for us, and then moving…

The Wall and “A Matter of Inches”


Many times as I’m traveling on airplanes I marvel at the difference a few inches can make. Relaxing in a comfortable chair in a comfortable climate, I look out the window and realize that the temperature just inches away is below zero, the winds are 400+ MPH, and air is so thin that I would instantly plummet to my death gasping for oxygen. It’s only a matter of a few inches.

The Israelites understood this matter of inches. They went to great lengths to surround Jerusalem and other…

Setting the Standard


“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” —1 Corinthians 3:11

John Quincy Adams wrote that standards “may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society … the knowledge of them … is among the first elements of education.”

In our newly formed country, various colonies began with different standards of weights and measures. Imagine the economic chaos and strained business relationships in a…

God, Our Refuge and Fortress


“I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.’”  —Psalm 91:2-3

Dictators overthrown. Political turmoil. Earthquakes. Unexpected nuclear disaster. All eyes linger on Japan’s nuclear crisis as both sides of the Pacific…

The Lord’s Promises


“So the LORD gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.... Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.” —Joshua 21:43-45

As Joshua was finalizing all of the details of Israel’s conquest of Canaan, we find a remarkable verse: “Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled” (Joshua 21:45). Every promise the Lord…

A Call To Stand Watch


“I have set watchmen on your walls…. They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest … till He makes Jerusalem a praise
in the earth.”
—Isaiah 62:6-7 NKJ

Our founding fathers set out to make this nation the greatest nation. They understood how critical it was for them to seek “Divine Providence” in order for this to occur. At a critical moment in the forming of our Constitution even Ben…

A Touch from the LORD


“But I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth. Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD’s prophets.... And now you say, ‘Go, tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’ He will kill me!” Then Elijah said, “As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today.” —1 Kings 18:12b-15

It was a moment of great victory. Elijah had just stood on Mount Carmel…

“Father, the time has come…”


“Is there anybody else praying?” This question came from an incredible prayer warrior who called the office recently, admitting that she felt dejected and alone. Telling her about the thousands who intercede for the nation, our staff had the privilege to spend the next 30 minutes encouraging this dear lady in the Lord. When the phone call ended, she knew the assurance of unity and joy.

This is exactly what Jesus prayed for the disciples in John 17. He realized that God’s…

A Season for Real Change


Today’s Americans are not the first to cry out for change, or to welcomea radical shift in focus. Discontentment is at our core, currentlywoven into the very fabric of who we are as a nation, and echoing thesentiments that first brought pilgrims to these shores. Ourdisenchantment with the abuse of power, and our restlessness withcultural decadence are simply symptoms of national discontent—a desirefor something more; a longing for higher standards and true meaning.

This is nothing…

Rebuilding Hope for Today


Rebuilding Hope for TodayOctober 28th, 2010 by Dave KubalSee if these sound familiar:* “America will not recover.”* “By such-and-such date there will be another economic meltdown.”* “You don’t find the U.S. in End-Times scriptures, so surely we will not survive.”* “This is the beginning of the end.”Prophetic half-truths abound these days, and lack a full presentation of the scriptures. God’s immutable Word clearly states that we join him in shaping history. “If my people…” (2 Chr. 7:14), “If…
