If the Holy Spirit so leads, please consider agreeing with me on the following prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,

May the Resurrection Power of GOD be evident throughout the entire Body of Christ on May 7th! May it be so undeniably present that it ignites a complete Holy Spirit filled turn around in the direction of our nation. May we immediately begin to operate as ONE NATION UNDER THE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE, and do so until the return of Christ Jesus. We plead the blood of Christ Jesus saturate our nation and everybody in it. Let all those who do not know You cry out to be saved, Jesus! Let us become workers found approved, rightly communicating the Holy Bible, Your Living Word. And, may salvation and sanctification become complete.

Dear LORD, What we are asking for is revival the likes of which has never been seen before on planet earth. Let this revival be sustained, Father. May Your Son, Christ Jesus be lifted high so that All can see Him and be saved.

In this year of Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus 2009--May YOU Arise, Oh GOD! May YOU get all the glory for what YOU alone can do through YOUR Church on behalf of our nation.

Let Your resurrection power ripple throughout the entire United States beginning right here on May 7th in Tidewater, Virginia! Let that same move of the Holy Spirit become contagious and spread throughout the world. This is our prayer in the matchless name of Jesus, the One Who Was, And Is, And Is to Come! Amen!

HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
