If our nation will once again return to God in a bold and powerful way, remorseful, repentant, and professing our love for Him, then He will circumcise our hearts so that we will be able to not only love him minimally, but with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength… even to our children. He does this so that we can love Him as His greatest commandment spoke of, and so that we might have eternal life.

When Jesus taught us to pray, the first thing He told us to pray for was that God’s kingdom would come, and then that His will be done on earth, just as it is in Heaven. We say these words when we pray the Lord’s Prayer, but do we really understand them, or truly want those words to be realized right now? Most Christians are perfectly happy to live out their lives here on earth with God answering a prayer here, and there, to make their lives bearable. They would even like to see His will be done so long as they can remain happily in the world, but is that what we should want, and pray for, or should we pray earnestly for Jesus to return NOW?
