by 19 Comments

Thousands of believers gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Saturday to repent and pray for revival and national healing. Too many good things happened to fit into a blog. Below are some highlights from Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s keynote address which begins at 2:53 on the Saturday Part one recording.

Historic Markings

The gathering on September 26, 2020 marked the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower. The anniversary of the signing of the Mayflower compact falls on 11/11/2020—election day.

The Pilgrims established this country for the glory of God. Puritan lawyer John Winthrop said, “We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us.” He also warned that if this city fell away from the God of Israel, then the destruction that fell on Israel would fall on it.Continue Reading

Are You Ready to Walk in Faith?

How do we learn to walk in faith? Many of us can point to a fork in the road where we had to choose between faith, fear, or some other option. Horace Williams faced that fork as a young adult when a stroke took away the life he’d taken for granted. Like many who choose faith, he can now look back on that tragedy and see God’s mercy. I know you will enjoy and be challenged by his message today as we celebrate the release of his new book The Furnace of Affliction!

Are You Ready and Willing to Walk in Faith?

Do you remember the last time you were afraid?   I mean, a time when you were truly terrified. I’m not referring to the last horror movie you watched. (I don’t watch them myself because I don’t enjoy the idea of scaring myself to death!) No, I’m more interested in the time when you let fear paralyze you from doing something you were called to do—a moment when you allowed fear to interfere with your walk in faith.Continue Reading

A Surprising Gift From an Untimely Death

I called my friend Nikki anticipating her lively voice and was shaken to hear sobbing. “Debbie, we just found out our son died.”

I’d called in response to an earlier text. That was not why she’d texted me. But God had timed my call perfectly. Even though I couldn’t take away my friend’s pain, I could share in those initial moments of shock and grief.

Nikki felt the need to contact Justin’s birth mother. The woman was devastated. She’d never be able to meet her son on earth. She wanted to fly across the country for the service. With Nikki’s permission I share what she wrote about their meeting.Continue Reading

How to Really Love Your Child

One look at my son and I knew it had been a terrible day. At lunch, he’d tried to open his ketchup packet and some had squirted across the table startling a fellow kindergartener. She yelled at him drawing all eyes onto my self-conscious child. He’d turned aside so no one could see his unbidden emotions.

We’d just moved to our fourth state in four years. Our children slept on floor mattresses as we waited for our house to be finished and the rest of our belongings to arrive. My son’s distress wrenched my heart. I wanted to protect him from pain, but I couldn’t tag along to school.Continue Reading
