We Are The People

Ps. 20:5 We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

Good evening and welcome to the Sunday Night Edition of “We are the People” Prayer for America. Every Sunday we bring together the hearts of intercessors that choose to invest a minimum of 15 minutes in prayers of agreement between the hours of 6:00p.m. and 9:00p.m. using the three focus points listed below as a guide. May God bless you for your concern for America.

This is Flag Day. Most people don’t even acknowledge it but it is special to many who love this country. We count old glory as something near and dear to our heart.

But there is a banner that I cherish more than the Red, White and Blue. That is the banner that God Himself places over His own.
Song of Solomon 2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.

The Apostle Paul tells us that love is the greatest of all things and it never fails. Jesus taught to love God and man fulfills all that the law and the prophets taught. With this in mind let us pray in agreement over the following prayer points:

Prayer Focus #1 In the Song of Solomon 6:10 in typology the Bride of Christ, the church, is seen as being “awesome as an army with banners.” Pray today that the church in America will see itself as who she really is. We are those who bring the awesome presence of God into a world darkened by sin and ravaged in its aftermath.

Prayer Focus #2 Pray tonight that the banner of love will be the ultimate proof of who we belong to as Jesus taught us in John 13:35.
Love is not simply a branding, it is an action. Pray that we live 1 Corinthians 13 and read it frequently to remind yourself of how to conduct ourselves in a sometimes confusing culture and without true spiritual guidelines and guard rails.

Prayer Focus #3 Song of Solomon 2:4 tells us that God’s flag that sets the standard for life is love. Isaiah 13:2 tells us that our banner is to be lifted high upon the mountain. Let us pray that we will “do love” the best we possibly can and that those around us will see and experience that greatest of all things God has given to man – His love.
