Australians Call for Fasting and Prayer for USA

[John81]

This Western Nation Is Calling for Urgent Prayer Over the United States

The team behind Australia's National Day of Prayer and Fasting with other prayer leaders are calling the nations of the world to prayer and fasting for seven days for USA. This period of prayer will take place from April 30—May 6, 2015. April 30 is America's National Day of Repentance (NDOR). May 7 is the 64th Annual National Day of Prayer (NDP).

Warwick Marsh, Australian coordinator, said, "30 April is the 226th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as a devout Christian president and the 152nd anniversary of Lincoln's Day of 'Humiliation, Prayer and Fasting' held during the devastating times of the Civil War. The theme for the USA National Day of Prayer on May 7, 2015, 'Lord Hear Our Cry,' is taken from 2 Kings 8:28:  'Give attention to your servant's prayer and his pleas for mercy, Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day.'" 

Alison Jessup from Australia said, "We in Australia believe it is our turn to bless the nation of America and pray for healing for the USA through prayer and fasting according to 2 Chronicles 7:14. We in Australia are grateful for the protection that America gave Australia and the nations of the free world during World War II. The 1942 Battle of the Coral Sea, led by the USA, was the turning point in the Second World War for Australia." 

Pastor Matt Prater from Australia said: "We are calling the nations of the world to join in prayer and fasting with our brothers and sisters in Christ in the USA. Last year we had people from over 40 nations join with us. This year we are believing for over 100 nations to join us in prayer and fasting for the USA." 

Lana Vawser from Australia said, "There is a fight for the destiny of the USA right now. The destiny of America hangs in the balance. The Lord is calling His people to arise and pray for the United States of America. It is time to contend."

I will have to find their website and thank them. We sure need prayer.

Tim Fellure and Victory Baptist Church (Victory Printers) in Milton, Fl has also called for a week of fasting and prayer. He sent it out with this month's newsletter

Whilst I would never discourage anyone from prayer,  I would warn people to be careful of associating with organisations such as this.

​Yep, I visited their website and sent them a thank you email for their prayers. (the email I used is a tertiary email address)

​Like here, these organizations go for the "big tent" approach when it comes to who they team up with and accept into their list of participants. There will be many praying who will not be heard, but I'm thankful for those true Christians who will be praying during this time.

It's also good to know that many true Christians who hear of these things will take the prompt to fast and pray without actually being a part of the organized effort.

Praise God for the prayers of His people here, there and around the world.
