Nehemiah Prayer Vigil 2020
If you missed this prayer vigil, we encourage you to begin today and pray for 52 days!
We are encircling in PRAYER our families, churches, cities and our nation from Sept 1 - Oct 22, a total of 52 days, so that the Holy Spirit can come into our country and bring about Peace and Healing. This is much like Nehemiah did in 52 days to bring Peace and Healing to the Jews in Jerusalem 450 years before Christ. Please refresh yourself by reading again the book of Nehemiah, and asking the Lord to show you how to pray. Luke 24:45 says, "Jesus opened the minds of his disciples to an understanding of the scriptures." What HE did for them. HE does for us, if we ask. Please join us in prayer.

Our Four Prayer Points:
1. Repent - of injustice, inequality, hatred, violence and racism
2. Restore - peace, civility, compassion; spiritual, physical and mental health.
3. Revive - sense of being one people - "One nation under God."
4. Recommit - daily to our motto, asking the Lord, "What will you have me do?" and asking the Lord to give you strength and courage to follow HIS direction.

From the Book of Nehemiah
1. Nehemiah's Prayer: Chapter 1: "O Lord, I confess the sins we Israelites (USA), including myself and my father's house, have committed against You."
2. Nehemiah recruits families to do the work: Chapter 2: The people listened to Nehemiah, and they replied "Let us start rebuilding the walls." So they began the good work.
3. Nehemiah's confirmation of the work: Chapter 2: "The God of heaven will give us success. We will start rebuilding."
4. Nehemiah is helped to restore 9 gates around the broken walls: Chapter 6: "So the wall was completed in 52 days!"
5. Ezra opens the Book of the Law: Chapter 8: "All the people stood up and listened to the Word of God; all the people lifted their hands and shouted Amen! Amen! Then bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground."
6. Nehemiah encouraged the people to take a day of rest and celebration. Because the Lord was overjoyed with the worship of the people, Nehemiah said, "Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!"
7. The people agreed to obey the commands of the Lord. Chapter 10 "We will not neglect the house of our God."
Daughters, we are building walls of Prayer around our families, our churches, our cities, and our nation from September 1st - Oct 22nd, a total of 52 days, so that the Holy Spirit like Ezra can come into our country and bring about Peace and Healing! Please join us.
