The Prayer Motivator with Daniel Whyte III

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Psalm 116:2 which reads: "Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live." Our thought for today is that we can never pray enough. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from C.H. Spurgeon. He said, "Prayer can never be in excess." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled FIGHTING THE BATTLE OF SECULARISM IN OUR NATION THROUGH PRAYER from J. Gordon Henry: As a result of the work of secular humanists, few are left even in Christianity who firmly believe in the historicity of the first eleven chapters of Genesis and special creation as opposed to evolution. Those who do are looked upon as ignorant, backward people. I have in my possession the California school code that states that evolution is to be taught as scientific fact. Since evolution is the very heart of secular humanism, think of the implications of that requirement. Why is it that the humanistic ideas have free course in our schools and any reference to God is not acceptable? Too long have we Christians forfeited our right to equal treatment under the law. We will never win the war until we know where the battle is being fought. As born-again, Bible believers, we possess armaments and artillery that are supernatural. We will either use them or lose the war. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 tells us, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." Paul reminded the Christians in sinful Corinth that they possessed resources eclipsing anything the devil could muster. In Ephesians 6:12, he informed the Ephesian believers that "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Actually, this is a spiritual hierarchy of organization. Satan is not omniscient, omnipresent, or omnipotent---but he is organized. In order to do battle against him, Christians need to have on the whole armor of God which is described in Ephesians 6:10-17. After the armor is on, the first activity mentioned is prayer. The battle is fought in the place of prayer! + Plus, listen to the Katinas singing "Praying for You"

We Reach New Heights When We Get Down On Our Knees to Pray (Prayer Motivator Minute #41)

Fighting the Battle of Secularism in Our Nation (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #97)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Psalm 27:8 which reads: "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek." Our thought for today is that when we pray, our spirit, mind, and heart should be concentrating on communicating with God. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Johannes Gossner. He said, "Prayer is a spiritual law which cooperates with the mind of God. It has more in it than merely petition. It clothes itself in reality and power,with the force of God Himself. It is an attitude of spirit and mind. Language is secondary in true prayer." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled PRAY FOR GOD TO REBUKE SATAN THE DEVIL FROM USING SECULAR HUMANISM TO TAKE DOWN OUR NATION from J. Gordon Henry: There is a well-organized attack upon Biblical revelation and morality. Satan's tool is secular humanism that is promoted by a group known as the American Humanist Association. This movement is set against God and has permeated society with its spiritual poison. The humanists declare that belief in God is the highest form of self-deception. They think that the world would be better off without God. They believe that man is alone in this universe. Don't think that secular humanism is a figment of fearful imagination invented by extreme, far-right fundamentalists. Here are the facts. In modern times, two astonishing documents have been drawn-up, amply signed, publicly proclaimed, and then universally fulfilled --- Humanist Manifesto I and Humanist Manifesto II. The first was published in 1933 and the second was published in 1973. Both were printed in official publications of humanist organizaions. Both were signed by a small number of incredibly influential people holding significant positions in all areas of society---science, politics, the arts, literature, the media, religion, philosophy, and education. By reading through these documents, you will gain stunning insight into the source of what is wrong throughout our society. You will see that the thrust of the well-organized attack upon Biblical revelation and morality mentioned earlier is delineated in these documents. Truly, these Manifestos are an attack upon the very conception of God. Once you understand the war against God, you will be in a position to enter into the battle through prayer with understanding and insight. As you read your daily newspaper, you will be amazed at the examples of the spiritual warfare in attacks against those things you hold dear. This will move you to pray for our nation to be saved from secular humanism. + Plus, listen to Tobymac singing "City On Our Knees"

Pray for God to Rebuke Satan the Devil from Using Secular Humanism to Take Down Our Nation (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #96)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Job 8:5 and 7, which reads: "If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty...Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase." Our thought for today is that we should start our day with God. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from John Bunyan He said, "He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled PRAY FOR GOD TO BIND SATAN'S POWER FROM DESTROYING OUR NATION from J. Gordon Henry. Dr. Henry said....... PRAY FOR GOD TO BIND SATAN'S POWER FROM DESTROYING OUR NATION You can be sure that Satan is the force behind all that is happening to weaken and destroy America. He has mobilized his forces for the battle! If you have felt that everything biblical, Godly, pure and holy is under attack, that moral erosion is all about, that we seem to be losing a war but never really seeing the enemy, you are right! The principles and basis for our orderly society under God are indeed under systematic attack. It is evident in the schools, in the media, in literature, and in the arts. As Christians, we should pray for God to bind the forces of Satan from destroying our nation. + Plus, listen to Steven Curtis Chapman singing "Let Us Pray"

Pray for God to Bind Satan's Power from Destroying Our Nation (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #95)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is 1 John 3:21-22, which reads: "Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight." Our thought for today is that when we pray to God, He is eager to help us and answer our prayers. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Martin Luther. He said, "Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled PRAY FOR GOD'S PEOPLE TO REPENT AND USHER IN A SPIRIT OF REVIVAL IN OUR NATION from J. Gordon Henry: The key to bringing healing to a nation is in the hands of God's people. Therefore, we should direct our prayers that spiritual awakening and renewal will come to believers. Pray for conviction to come --- which is the work of the Holy Spirit as He takes the Word of God and applies it. Pray that God's people will get into the Word and let God speak through His Word. One major barrier to spiritual awakening is that few believers pay attention to the Word of God; most grossly ignore the Word. Pray that God's people will repent (change their minds about sin) and confess their specific sins by agreeing with God and saying the same thing about them that He says. Pray that God's people will be clean before Him --- which will place them in a position of spiritual revival. GETTING BACK TO THE BIBLE IS A MUST FOR GOD'S PEOPLE! + Plus, listen to Andrae Crouch singing "Pray"

Pray for God's People to Repent and Usher in a Spirit of Revival in Our Nation (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #94)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is 1 John 5:14, which reads: "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us." Our thought for today is that praying to God is the most we can do in any situation. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from A.J. Gordon. He said, "You can do more than pray after you have prayed; but you can never do more than pray until you have prayed." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled THE SEVEN STAGES A NATION GOES THROUGH THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION BY GOD from J. Gordon Henry: In the book, "America: To Pray or Not to Pray", author David Barton has postulated seven stages a nation goes through leading to eventual destruction by God. In the first stage, God convicts His people of their sins. Second, He warns them of sins. Third, He applies remedial judgment of sins committed. In the fourth stage, God withdraws His presence. In the fifth stage, He takes away the wall of protection and allows disasters to come upon His people. In the sixth stage, He gives His people over to sin, failure, and depravity. In the seventh stage, He destroys His people. Barton, believes America is in the fifth stage. Decadence, crime, violence, the recent onslaught of natural disasters, and an ecological system that is failing are signs God has turned His back on America as a nation. There is abundant evidence that God removed His wall of protection away from America sometime around 1963 when our Supreme Court ruled that prayer and Bible reading have no place in the schools. What will turn the tide? II Chronicles 7:14 is the text that tells us. It is spoken to Christians --- "My people called by My Name" (which happened to believers at Antioch, Syria when they were called Christians first in Acts 11:26). There is an "If...Then" arrangement. God says to Christians "if" you do these things, "then" here is what I will do. Under "IF," He lists four things: (1) become humble which means dependence upon God--not ourselves or anyone else; (2) pray which means to ask in the sense of God's hand to move; (3) seek His face for worship; and (4) turn from sin. Under "THEN", He lists what He will do: (1) He will hear from Heaven---which is headquarters where all the resources that will ever be needed are in stock; (2) He will lift and remove the heavy load; and (3) He will heal the land. This is what will turn the tide for America or for any nation. Remember that INTERCESSORS are literally "go-betweens"---standing between God and someone else or some circumstance. We need INTERCESSORS for America. Many of you are already intercessors and others want to become intercessors for our land. The assumption is that you will be on praying ground by having all sin confessed and forsaken and you are yielded to the Holy Spirit with Him in control---which is what Spirit-filled means. No believer can help turn our nation back to God unless he is clean before God. I would encourage you to get on your knees and ask God to make you a person He can use. + Plus, listen to Dorothy Norwood singing "It's Praying Time"

The Seven Stages a Nation Goes Through That Leads to Destruction by God (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #93)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Psalm 10:17, which reads: "LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear." Our thought for today is that prayer should be a purposeful, meaningful matter in our lives. Our prayer motivator quote for today is from E.M. Bounds. He said, "It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled WITHOUT THE PRAYER WORK BEING DONE, EVANGELISM WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE from J. Gordon Henry: One very practical approach in praying for the lost is to choose five unsaved persons represented by the five fingers of your left hand and another five who will be represented by the fingers of your right hand. Pray for these every day following the ideas that we discussed in previous broadcasts. When one gets saved, replace that person with someone else. Know that it is the will of God that each of these persons be saved. Pray against Satan, to the Saviour, and for the saints. It is sad to note that there are saved people living with unsaved people under the same roof --- often members of the same family and no one is praying for those lost people. Remember that if you are not praying for your children and grandchildren, no one else is. If you have lost your burden because of the pressures all around you and the pull of this earth, take this matter directly to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. He will deal with it and make things different. The work most needed is prayer work. Unless the prayer work is done, evangelism will make little difference. In fact, it is safe to conclude that it is possible to contact face to face every individual in a county or city with a gospel witness and see nothing happen if the prayer work is not done. MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT CLEARLY TEACH EACH OF US THE NEEDED TRUTHS WHICH WILL RESULT IN OUR GIVING MUCH TIME TO PRAY FOR THE LOST! + Plus, listen to CeCe Winans singing "Anybody Wanna Pray?"
