In the book of the prophet Daniel, chapter nine, we find the prophet\u2019s prayer for his people. This prayer was the result of a prophetic word that had already been fulfilled, for the seventy years of desolation spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah had come to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What is truly remarkable is that this prayer became the beginning of the great revival that led to Israel\u2019s return to their land, the rebuilding of their walls, and the joy of restoration:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAnd they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and children also rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard far away.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Nehemiah 12:43 (ESV)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The restoration of a nation always begins with the power of prayer and intercession.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is no secret that the world is being shaken by changes in government that produce tensions, economic instability, shifts in leadership, and ongoing news of war and violence. I believe that, just as in the days of the prophet Daniel, this is the moment when the church must understand that her role in the healing of the nations begins with prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some years ago, the Lord awakened my wife, Emma Claudia, to lead a global movement of intercession, where leaders from different nations join together in continual prayer. As a church, we have felt that this intercession has been our shield and our greatest strength in times of testing.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you would like to join this intercessory challenge, I want to give you a few tips for developing a more effective prayer life:<\/span><\/p>\n Prayer should always begin with gratitude. Complaints and resentment never open spiritual gates. Every nation is unique and precious. Those who watch and intercede over their country must bless it, thank God for its land, its resources, and the privilege of having received the gospel there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
