Sunday August 20, 2023     “Preserve Our Birthright”

Genesis 25:34   And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

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 focus point listed below as a guide. May God bless you for your concern for America’s future expressed in prayer tonight.  We encourage you to join us in prayer daily and invite others to join us.

Esau kept his word to give the birthright to his brother Jacob, but the ramifications were great.  Tonight let us pray that America will never give up her birthright as a nation under God and His word and that as individuals we will value our birthright as the people of God.

Prayer Focus #1  Esau gave away his birthright which would have given him much blessing and a double inheritance of his father’s inheritance for a bowl of stew. Pray that those in America who possess an Esau spirit – ones willing to give up our place as the leaders in righteousness among the nations for the ways of man that only last for a season will have a change of heart concerning this land of the free and home of the brave.

Prayer Focus #2  Pray that those willing to compromise our spiritual identity as Christians will have their eyes open to truth and not despise their birthright to ensure our social acceptance among our ever growing spiritually diverse population.

Prayer Focus #3  Pray that God’s people in America will not desire the things of the flesh as Esau did.  In these last days let us keep our hearts fixed upon spiritual blessings, not material things. Maranatha! The Lord cometh soon!
