Is There Hope For America
Contributed by Duane Boehm on Nov 10, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: Today we long for revival in our land. I’m convinced it must begin in the house of God.
IS THERE HOPE FOR AMERICA
Psalm 33:12
2 Chron.7:14
intro:
Today as we reflect upon Veterans day. We reflect upon the many who gave of there life for our Freedom.
Today many will be honoured for their service in our Great country. Today aswell many are giving of themselves for Our country. Many of you have families fighting
For us, as we think of the Sept. 11, 2001 event
(2 months ago to the day)
With all this we ask is there hope? I believe the
Answer is yes according to the word
Of God.
Where and how do we get the hope, with that lets
Look at our text.
Solomon prayer in 2 Chron.6
God’s answer in chapter 7
Revival is needed today
I) REVIVAL NEEDED IN AMERICA
A) America
*50 % + divorce rate
* 50% accept homosexual life style
* God kicked out of schools
* Increasing Crimes
* Abortion increasing (some cities report 50+ wkly)
* all would agree we need revival
B) Sept. 11, 2001
* the N.Y. and capital attack
* many have come to God and yet many still need to
* God may be using the church for such a time as this
What will it take for revival?
II) REVIVAL IN THE CHURCH
God said it will happen in the following way
1. If my peple called by my name….
Christians
The church
Revival in America must begin in the house of God
2. Humble Themselves…..
Micah 6:8
Get rid of pride—churches all full of it
God gave the example –John 13
Christians are usually far from humility
3. Pray and seek my face…..
Seeking God’s face and ways
More than praying God bless America
But what can I do to help change things to His ways
Show me God and I will do it
4. Turn from their wicked ways….
Repent
Change
Church for long time has done it own things
Now time to do It His way
Church has to long been silent
The sin in America and the church must go
III) THEN THE BLESSING WILL COME
God said He’d
· hear
· forgive
· heal
Do you believe it?
Do you want it?
God told us how, do our part , then He will do His
We reflect upon those who have and are serving their country
They have and are paying the price
Will the church of America pay the price for Revival in our land?
CONCLUSION:
I John 1:9
