In this spiritual bat- tle, may our prayers be the launching of mis- siles, missiles of “truth and righteousness.”
a “spiritual nuclear bomb” spreading “spir- itual radioactivity” coast to coast, infiltrat- ing every city and every town, every church and every home in our nation, leaving no space or parcel unaf- fected. And as a result, the Church once again be- comes a “light in the darkness” in this dark world, and corrupt and compromised pastors are removed from their pulpits and filled with obedient and coura- geous pastors who are willing to stand boldly on God’s Word, His alone, never wavering. God is the Source of all that is good and righteous. Our return to Him is our only hope. Let’s get praying!

As World War II ap- proached mid-summer of 1945, it had already claimed between 21 - 25 million lives all to- gether, including over 400,000 U.S. soldiers. By this same time, mid-summer of 1945, we had already devel- oped, tested and had available to us our “greatest weapon,” the “atomic bomb!” However, its use would bring about unimaginable death and destruction, the likes we had never seen before. But after much discussion it was surmised that fail- ure to use our greatest weapon would bring about even greater loss of life to American sol- diers, our allies and the Japanese. So, on the mornings of August 6th, 1945 and August 9th 1945, atomic bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Na- gasaki, killing tens of thousands. A mere five days later on August 14, 1945, the Japan- ese government offi- cially surrendered. The use of those atomic bombs, our “greatest weapons,” brought about a swift and deci- sive end to World War II. As Christians in this spiritual war we are fighting, we fail to use our “greatest weapon,” our most powerful weapon which is PRAYER! Most church services today are 99.9% pro- duction and presenta- tion, and 0.01% or less prayer. Research shows that only some 13% of Christians read their Bibles daily. What do you believe is the percentage of Christians that pray on a daily basis, failing to make use of the great- est weapon available to them? JESUS PRAYED ABOUT EVERYTHING! Jesus prayed before all His earthly crises. He prayed before choosing the 12 disci- ples; before His Ser-
when He fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fishes and when He went to the cross. Jesus set our example regarding prayer. If the Bible in 1st Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to “Pray with- out ceasing,” why is there so little prayer in the American Church today? Why does the Church fail to use its greatest weapon against the evil in this spiritual battle? • God’s creation of male and female is being mocked, and yet we still don’t pray! • Politicians have sold out our country, and yet we still don’t pray! • Pastors have sold out the Church, and yet we still don’t pray! • Entire generations are being lost to the enemy, and yet we still don’t pray! • We are losing this spiritual battle we are in, and yet we still don’t pray! • We have lost our moral compass in this country, and yet we still don’t pray! • Evil has infiltrated the church, and yet we still don’t pray! • Pastors have con- formed to the way of the world, and yet we still don’t pray! • The Church is ab- sorbing more darkness from the world than it is giving off light, and
tell the difference from the Church and the evil culture outside its doors, and yet we still don’t pray! • God’s design of mar- riage is being re- jected, and yet we still don’t pray! • Churches are em- bracing the LGBTQ+ ideology over Biblical truth, and yet we still don't pray! • We live in a society where abortion is pro- moted and praised and the selling of baby body parts is condoned, and yet we still don’t pray! • Evil is taking more ground from the Church, and yet we still don’t pray! • The world, our country, are growing darker and more vio- lent by the day, and yet we still don’t pray! As a nation, we need to fall on our knees and repent for our turning away from God and His Holy Word. As Christians in this spiritual bat- tle, we need to make better use of our most powerful weapon available to us, which is PRAYER! It is going to take a miracle to turn our country around and back to the Lord, but we can’t expect a mir- acle by doing nothing! Let’s put the power of prayer into action.
May our prayers be that of the dropping of
