Presidential Prayer Team; J.K. – Which Will It Be?

Business tycoon and billionaire Howard Hughes came from a long line of preachers, but you would never have known it at the end of his life. It took one generation for him to separate himself from the religious identity of his family and become entwined with the world’s pleasures. It cost him his mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

Tell the next generation that this is God, our God forever and ever.

Psalm 48:13-14

One generation believing that they can do what is right in their own eyes, or one generation that will grab on to a faith in Christ that cannot be shaken. Which will it be for today? Blogger Jayne Fossett wrote, “We must embed the gospel so deep within our conscience that it transforms the way we think, which, in turn, will transform the way we live.”

Talk of your faith to your children and your friends by celebrating all that God has done for you. Tell them of His goodness, His grace…and the freedom you have in obeying and trusting Him. Encourage this generation to see God’s hand in their lives, making Him the firm foundation that is forever. Then intercede for the leaders of this land…that they may seek the God of their fathers.

Presidential Prayer Team; G.C. – Outcomes

Millennials, the generation born between 1980 and 2000, have been accused of being lazy – but what generation hasn’t? By nature and through readily accessible technology, Millennials expect “efficiency of effort for maximum impact”…in other words, the best outcome with the least work.

No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.

I Corinthians 12:3

Robert A. Heinlein’s story, “The Man Who Was Too Lazy to Fail,” tells of an enterprising hero charged with milking cows. He didn’t enjoy being up at dawn, but he’d been told it was the time of day cows required milking. This Millennial-thinking guy soon discovered cows didn’t actually care about the time of day; they cared only about frequency and results. Ultimately, he had the cows’ schedule and a successful business on his terms.

Coming generations will have to overcome a cultivated tendency to do things in their own way to understand God’s plan for their salvation – because there is no other way to know God than through His risen Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, pray that Holy Spirit will move upon America’s future leaders so they will be open to welcoming God’s way to know Him, submitting their lives and the nation they will lead to the power of the risen Lord…the very best outcome of all.
