The Real Battle 

     No. 3 of 3

      Pastor Hibbs quotes Isaiah 62:6, "I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace, day or night." 

     He writes, "God is still looking for watchmen, for men and women who will stand guard in prayer and speak boldly in public. It's time for the church to rise, to be alert, vocal and unashamed. Like Nehemiah's workers who built the wall with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other, we must be people who both pray and contend."

     "Hope and engage," he says. "Too many Christians are standing on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to speak up, to lead, to fight. But the responsibility to pray and to stand belongs to every believer." 

     "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven... 2 Chronicles 7:14. "

     "God's answer to America's problems is found among his own people, the church. We must humble ourselves and seek his face."

     "The call is clear: Pray fervently. Stand courageously. Our hope isn't found in a party, a policy or a politician. Our hope is in Jesus Christ. And when the church prays and stands, God moves through us to bless those around us."

  Thank you, Pastor Jack Hibbs   

PS. God used people from Abraham to John to accomplish his written history. Since then, he has used numerous men and women to spread the Word and save souls. He can use you and I as well, as we pray.
