America it’s time to pray as we have never prayed before!
Please join me in prayer seeking God’s grace and mercy
for America while the door for America’s salvation is still open.
The scriptures tell us that after Noah had done all that
the Lord commanded him to do and everything was in the Ark that God told him to
bring in. Then
the Lord shut him in.
After
the door was shut it was sealed by God and it was too late for those outside to
have their prayers heard. God’s grace was shut off Gods mercy was shut off and
the flood waters destroyed them all.
New
International Version (NIV)
11 Therefore this is what
the Lord says: ‘I will
bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cryout to
me, I will not listen to them.

International Version (NIV)
Daniel’s Prayer
9 In the first year of Darius son of
Xerxes (a Mede
by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom— 2 in
the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures,
according to the word of the Lord given
to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last
seventy years. 3 So
I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and
in sackcloth and ashes.
4 I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:
“Lord, the great and awesome God, who
keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his
commandments, 5 we
have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we
have turned away from your commands and laws. 6 We have not
listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our
kings, our princes and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land.
7 “Lord, you are
righteous, but this day we are covered with shame—the people of Judah and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the
countries where you have scattered us because of our
unfaithfulness to you. 8 We
and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against
you. 9 The
Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled
against him; 10 we
have not obeyed the Lord our
God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. 11 All Israel has
transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey you.
“Therefore the curses and sworn
judgments written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been
poured out on us, because we have sinned against you. 12 You have
fulfilled the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing
on us great disaster. Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done
like what has been done to Jerusalem. 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this
disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our
sins and giving attention to your truth. 14 The Lord did
not hesitate to bring the disaster on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in
everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him.
15 “Now, Lord our God, who
brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for
yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done
wrong. 16 Lord,
in keeping with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and
your wrath from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill. Our sins
and the iniquities of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an
object of scorn to all those around us.
17 “Now, our God, hear the
prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with
favor on your desolate sanctuary. 18 Give ear, our God, and hear; open your
eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do
not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great
mercy. 19 Lord,
listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do
not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”
