“The nation who (first) put a man on the moon needs a Church (Called-out, Holy People/Fellowship of Sold-out Believers/Followers of Jesus) that can soar into the Heavens. Our Country and world (desperately) need another (Great) Awakening. Perhaps we can “remember our way” into what could be a Rebirth of that “Shining City” (or “City Upon a Hill” that Christ shared originally…and many pastors and politicians have quoted since, starting purportedly with John Winthrop).” Ken Gurley, The Book on Prayer, pg. 304.

Happy Hunger
Happiness comes in the Hunger (for God/Righteousness/being in right standing or relationship with Him and others).
The Grief of Unbelief.
NO MORE ‘grief by unbelief’ prayers but, instead, ‘intercession confessions’ in faith…and praises to our All-powerful/knowing LORD God, Jesus Christ! “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” And “the just shall LIVE by faith” and, “without faith, it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.”
a STRONG song
“LORD, I sing a new song: I have a Strong City; Salvation is appointed for walls and bulwarks (Isaiah 26:1).”
When GOD Weeps
“When the city came into view, He wept over it. ‘If you had only recognized this day, and everything that was good for you! But now it’s too late. In the days ahead, your enemies are going to bring up their heavy artillery and surround you, pressing in from every side. They’ll smash you and your babies on the pavement. Not one stone will be left intact. All this because you didn’t recognize and welcome (but instead refused) God’s personal visit’ (Me).” Jesus, weeping over Jerusalem (and us), Luke 19:41-44, MSG Bible. (Words in parenthesis and italics added by me, dkb.)
Right Makes Might (not vice-versa)!
“Being able to speak to a mountain and have it move means that you are in right standing with God.” Prayers that Release Heaven & Move Mountains, Book 2, pg. 52, by John Eckhardt
