Advancing a Strategy of Prayer for America

Did you know that on Monday and Tuesday, October 29-30, at Cross Church in Rogers, Arkansas, the task force of the National Day of Prayer is having a conference for the purpose of engaging anyone interested in advancing a strategy of prayer for America?

This fast-paced and energetic conference will equip and empower you to advance a strategy of prayer for your America, meaning where you live specifically, and for our America, the nation we have the privilege to call our earthly home. We will be talking about your local community, your region, your state, and all of America. We need you, and it is not too late to join us. Register here.

I Will Reveal the Theme For the 2019 National Day of Prayer

On the final morning of our one and one-half day conference, I will reveal the theme for the 2019 National Day of Prayer. This is another reason to join us. This theme will be forwarded from October 30 all the way through and beyond our 2019 National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, 2019.

Through sharing with others, praying together, and a special 21-day personal time of fasting and prayer, God has confirmed this biblical and relevant theme for America.

This powerful and compelling theme could be embraced and forwarded through an estimated 200 denominations and just under 400,000 churches in America, the leaders in each of our 19,510 incorporated places in the United States including cities, towns, and villages, as well as through each of the 3,142 counties across America. When you hear and see it, I think you will agree. I believe it is a theme that any person from any walk of life will be able to embrace.

Advancing Prayer Through Every Town, Every City, and Every County in America on Thursday, May 2, 2019

Every town, city, and county in America needs to have a prayer observance for our nation on the upcoming National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, 2019. This is a compelling vision to imagine! While thousands upon thousands of prayer observances happen each year on the National Day of Prayer, they are not happening in every town, every city, and every county in America.

This is what we must ensure. This is what we must advance. This is what we must strategize toward. This is much bigger than any of us, including our present task force.

This is why we need you!

That is right! You can help. You can lead. You can attend. Get your calendar out and mark the day now: Thursday, May 2, 2019.

I believe there is a way that every school, university, business, church, ministry, denomination, and anything existent in America that involves people can have a prayer observance for America on the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, 2019.

Our country needs prayer. Our country needs you. Plan now to make this happen wherever you live and wherever you are on Thursday, May 2, 2019.

Now is the Time to Lead,

Ronnie W. Floyd

Answered Prayer Celebrated in the White House

America, Prayer

I was not present this past Saturday afternoon when answered prayer was celebrated in the White House. However, because of live television, I watched Pastor Andrew Brunson, in the presence of the President of the United States, openly and unashamedly proclaim that his freedom from Turkish imprisonment of two years is the result of answered prayer. Members of the cabinet, United States Senate, and United States House of Representatives celebrated the power of answered prayer before the world via television.

This open celebration resulted in Pastor Brunson and his wife both praying for President Donald Trump before the entire world. The power of Jesus Christ was lifted up, the name of Jesus was proclaimed, and expressions of Christ and His message were proclaimed across the world from America.

Dear Friends, let’s not shy away from this moment, but celebrate it. Let’s see this great moment as a major victory for international religious freedom and as a moment to bring our nation together. This is not about political parties in this moment of history, but the people of the world being able to worship God without the threat of abuse or persecution.

Let’s not shy away from this moment, but celebrate it.

However, we cannot ignore this reality: We are in this moment because President Trump and his administration have stood strong for religious freedom internationally. Their words have made great advances to specific actions that reaped results for the benefit of the world. For this, I am grateful.

From 1,183 miles away from the White House in Washington, DC, sitting in our home in Springdale, Arkansas, we celebrated this great moment for religious freedom. We believe God answers prayer.

When God answers prayer, we celebrate. I celebrate personally as a Christian. As a pastor of a local church, I celebrate with my Cross Church family publicly. And as the President of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, I celebrate nationally and internationally with all Christians across the entire world.

When God answers prayer, we celebrate.

Therefore, we say to the pastor we have never had the pleasure to meet but have regularly prayed for both privately and publicly…

Welcome home, Pastor Brunson.
