Return to God: How Christians Can Intercede For America

The headlines are depressing. The information we need to make sound decisions or choose political leaders or even understand the weather is often biased and peppered with propaganda. Our institutions have failed. Families are under attack from every angle, and children are offered up on the altar of narcissism and woke culture. Our country is being invaded at the southern border. Americans are dying from suicide, drugs, man-made viruses, and lawlessness while lying, and censorship has invaded the public discourse needed to address these fatalities.

America has seen better days. Hope for a return to sanity is fading fast.

Only God can save America.

Every American has an interest in the health and welfare of our country, but Christians are called to a higher standard than self-interest. Christians are called to respond to darkness with God’s truth, prayer, and loving actions. Disciples of Jesus are commanded to love God and love others, and in keeping with this command, Christians have a duty to intercede for America.

Is it too late to ask God to heal America? Do we know how to return to God? Will God hear us? How do we know what to do when many “woke” churches have joined the enemy?

This ministry is about returning to God so he will return to us (Malachi 3:7). It was established after years of praying and fasting for insight into the divine prescription for a terminally ill nation. If you want to follow Jesus’s example, and if you are tired of watching evil win, then it is time to return to God in the way he prescribes. Based on the three actions of Revelation 1:3—reading, hearing, and heeding—we offer a map for Christians called to partner with God during this time of growing apostasy.

Unapologetically calling out sin and rebellion, we offer you a book with step-by-step guidance for reclaiming your Christian life and helping your family, church, and nation the way God directed it centuries ago. This book is both a scriptural-based commentary and a Bible study to guide individuals, families, study groups, and churches in petitioning God to save a dying country.

Our Beliefs

The Bible is Authoritative

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, true, and authoritative Word of God. We believe that Jesus’ teachings and example fulfilled, explained, and conformed with God’s inspired Word.

Jesus is the Messiah

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, and the only way of salvation. He was crucified and died to atone for our sin. He was resurrected, and he ascended into heaven. He will come again in power to rule the world.

United in Christ

We believe that true Christians everywhere are united in Jesus.

God is Supreme

We believe that there is no higher power, intelligence or love than that found in the creator and sustainer of all life-Father God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Fight for Good

We believe that American Christians, who have been blessed with religious freedom, should repent of all sin, work together in unity to spread the gospel and to lessen the suffering of others, and engage in Acts of Faithfulness.

Jesus Loves Us

We believe that Jesus loves us and has a plan for humanity.

One God

We believe that there is one God. We believe that God is eternal and present in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Know Him

The purpose of life is to grow in our knowledge of God under the Holy Spirit’s guidance and work, to grow into the likeness of Jesus, and to attain eternal life through Jesus’ atoning sacrifice.

Biblical Help for Troubled Times

We must not ignore the lessons adversity teaches. God allows adversity to open our eyes to the truth. We must not respond the way King Ahaz did when confronted with the adversity that could have forced him back to God. Verse 22 of 2 Chronicles 28 tells us, “In the time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the Lord.” He went after the gods of his enemies, closed the temple, and pushed false worship in “every street corner in Jerusalem.”

What about our leaders? Except for a few, most of our leaders will continue to take a similar path, doubling down in prideful rebellion and trusting in riches and technology. Many citizens have forsaken God and engage in drug use, endless shopping, pornography, and the occult, and they spend hours narcissistically presenting themselves to the world through social media. What about Christians? Either they participate in these things without remorse, or they make the mistake of thinking that if they do not participate and if they do not violate God’s law, they are protected from the world and will soon be raptured out of the madness. All this thinking is out of line with true Christianity. We are called to listen to God’s word and to put it into practice until the end. Our participation in a renewal cleanup for America requires us to accept adversity as our wake-up call for change. We are not to hide or ignore the warnings.

Repentance is an individual endeavor and then a corporate one. We can pray for each other and our nation as a church body or Bible study group, but the group is made up of individuals who are either right before God or not. In the Bible, we find a famous account of repentance from the city of Nineveh. Here Jonah proclaims God’s warning message to the city, and then each person repents. We know this because the text says, “And all of them, from the greatest to the least, put-on sackcloth.” The King also proclaimed by decree a fast and ordered every person to repent. We see each person returning to God, and we also see the citizens of Nineveh repenting together.

Repenting means that we never want to sin again! It is a commitment to live an aware and intentional life relying on God’s spirit to protect us from sin and convict us quickly when we fail. We accept God’s view of sin and his definition of sin, and we rely on his great love for us.  Jesus made repentance a core theme of his ministry.

Only humble, repentant hearts can truly intercede for others before God.

God has the right to decide our fate as individuals and as nations, to judge us and to condemn or forgive.  God, in his mercy, sent Jesus to save us and to bring us back to him.

God is calling us back now.  Don’t miss the call!

Time is short. The message is urgent! Jesus warned us that he would return when we least expected him.  The consequence of a wrong decision is fatal.  

Here are the words of God spoken through the prophet Isaiah, chapter 55:6–7 (NASB):

 

Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

And let him return to the Lord,

And He will have compassion on him,

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.

 

God lovingly shares his prescription for healing a terminally ill nation in the Bible.  Learn more about this in our book/study guide Return to God: How Christians can Intercede for America.
