READ EXODUS 32-34.

God bless America, land that I love, stand behind her and guide her with a light from above … THE LAND OF THE FREE, THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12).

As I travel the world, I am increasingly aware of the blessings that God has placed on my country. Many express their longings for a nation like ours where there is religious freedom for one and all. In America, a person is free to be a believer or is free to be a non-believer, even an atheist. I know that is true. God has blessed our nation.
As I listened, I did not want to believe what I was hearing. In responding to the Muslim’s Ramadan, President George W. Bush said that he believes “in an Almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God. That’s what I believe.” Then, in meeting with the Dalai Lama a month later, Bush called him “His holiness” and a great spiritual leader. Congress followed suit by awarding the Buddhist the Congressional Medal of Honor—the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a civilian.
Further, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pressured Israel to divide the city of Jerusalem in a “land for peace” deal. Then California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law bills designed to teach homosexuality as normal in his state’s public schools. A school board in Maine voted to give birth control pills to sixth graders.
After 9/11, President Bush bent over backwards to promote other gods at the expense of his own Christianity. I wish this troubling behavior were not true, but it is. Through its leadership, the United States is on a fast track in turning against God. It is time for the Christians to wake up and pray.
Daniel prayed for his nation in Daniel 10. He was reading Scripture (Jeremiah’s books) and believed what he read. As he reflected on why Israel was in bondage, he began to confess specific sins and ask for God’s mercy. He identified with the sins when he said “we” when he had done none of the things. We need God’s mercy. We need a spiritual awakening. We must ask Him.
I believe President Bush has been one of the most prayed for presidents in history. Continue to pray that his leadership will turn us toward God, not away from him. The hour is late.

​READ EXODUS 28-31. Why the prayer seminar ministry?


1. To encourage believers to know Jesus more clearly, to love Him more dearly, and to follow Him more nearly (from a Prayer by Richard of Chichester)
2. To awaken interest in His Word
3. To clarify how to walk in the Spirit
4. To ground the believer in Biblical teaching on prayer
5. To challenge believers to witness
6. To raise the banner of faithful stewardship in everything
7. To bring God glory, to magnify the Lord Jesus Christ, and to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading


Since 1980, I have been going up and down the land sharing insights and illumination the Lord has given to me in the crucible of experience in the area of the Christian life. Although we term the ministry as a prayer seminar, someone often comments that it is far more than a prayer seminar. In fact, some have encouraged me to change the name since the idea of teaching six hours on prayer turns people off. There is no doubt that this may be true. At this point, the Lord has not led me to change the title of the seminar. At the same time, a person will never become a prayer warrior who is not in the Word, who does not walk in the Spirit, who does not witness, and who does not conduct himself as a faithful steward of all that God has given him. Pray for each prayer seminar that our objectives will be met. Pray for the Lord to open doors!
I am eager to share as often and as widely as possible. One way to achieve this goal is to through prayer seminars and I am ready to do them. Further, extensive time has been invested in writing books that flesh out many of the points made in the prayer seminar. A few weeks ago, someone wrote asking if the prayer seminars are still available. For many years, we were able to keep thousands updated through the Reflector, which we no longer produce. Therefore, we need your help in telling churches, leaders, and pastors about the availability of the prayer seminars. Yes, pray for the Lord to open doors but TELL A FRIEND!


TESTIMONIES
This seminar has been a special blessing in my life. I have been taught how to pray in a more meaningful way. My life will never be the same.


I have learned to be humble and to serve in my Galilee (Jamaica), to be disciplined and meet the Lord daily during my appointment with Him. I have learned the value of having a place to pray that is free from interruptions as possible (my closet). I have learned to be disciplined in prayer.


During the prayer seminar, God has taught me that prayerlessness is a sin. He has brought it out more forcefully after many months of conviction. Because of laziness, I have not been praying as I ought to, and I am now more knowledgeable to pray for my unsaved loved ones.
