He is Not Finished! God said, “It is finished,” not “I am finished.” He said He finished redemption on the cross, but He didn’t say He is done. He is not done with His Church. He will finish building His Church. It will be glorious. It will be without spot and wrinkle. It will reign in His Name! It will not be intimidated, scared, bewildered, confused, tepid or spineless! He is not done! He is not near done! He is going to finish what He said He would finish! (Dr. Tim Sheets)1 “That He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.” (Ephesians 5:27; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Worship the Lord for He is still at work on His Church and you are a part of it! Thank Him that He is not done with us, His Church, yet! Pray Ephesians 5:27 over the body of Christ. Now, pray it over yourself. Put your name in place of “the Church”. Let His Word transform you from limited to limitless, unable to able, intimidated to fearless! A prayer you can pray: God, I believe that You are not done! You are not done with Your Church. You are not done with me. I believe that You have a work to accomplish and You are transforming us into the image of Your Son! Lord, make us glorious! I pray Ephesians 5:27 over the Church and over my life. Do Your work in us, Lord! As we are transformed, this nation will be, too. Amen.

Lord and Savior When we get saved, we invite Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of our life. The “Savior” part is pretty simple—and amazing. The “Lord” part can be a bit more complicated. Making Jesus your Lord means giving Him total control of your life, every day and in every way. Just as Jesus followed the leading of the Father, so the disciples and apostles in the New Testament followed Jesus as Lord. They rocked their world! They show us a life that can truly impact a nation for God. (Hannah Sheets)1 “And how blessed are those in whom you live, whose lives become roads you travel… God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain, and at the last turn—Zion! God in full view!” (Psalm 84: 5,7; MSG) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: If there are areas in your life where you haven’t allowed God to have full control, repent and give those to Him. Renew your commitment to having Jesus be the Lord of your life. Ask God to use your life to show others who Jesus really is. Believe that all of His children following Him completely can transform this nation. A prayer you can pray: Jesus, thank you for being my Savior. Today I once again ask You to be Lord of my life. I surrender my life freshly to You, all of me and holding nothing back, and ask You to lead me. Make my life a vessel You can use to reveal Jesus to others. Help those of us in the body of Christ to follow You as Lord of our lives, so you might transform the nation we live in! Amen. Today’s decree: Jesus, I acknowledge You as Lord of my life and Lord over America! 1 Hannah Sheets is a passionate lover of Jesus who has been focused on the pursuit of God and His pursuit of a generation.

Cultivate Faithfulness The verse, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart,” is known by many (Psalms 37:4). However, the verse before this is often overlooked; and in it is a key phrase for unlocking this promise—“cultivate faithfulness.” Faithfulness isn’t something talked about very much in the American church, but it is a Fruit of the Spirit and should be pursued by every Believer. As we seek out the promises of Psalm 37:4, let’s not forget to cultivate faithfulness. Do the “little things” each day and watch how God makes the desires of your heart and the desires of His heart one and the same. (Hannah Sheets)1 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” (Matthew 24:25; NKJV) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Ask the Lord to help you become more faithful in your walk with Him—in the big and small things. Ask the Lord to make the desires of His heart and the desires of your heart the same thing. If you have a big dream, ask the Lord what small steps you can be faithful in today that will lead to the fulfillment of that dream. God has a plan for America. Continue to be faithful to pray daily for this nation, until God’s dream is a reality! A prayer you can pray: Lord, I want faithfulness to be a fruit that is evident in my life. Help me to not overlook the little things or the simple things in my walk with You. Cultivate faithfulness in my life and show me things I can do to be more faithful. Share Your heart for our nation with me, Lord, and prompt me to pray daily until Your dream is a reality! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Today’s decree: I desire to be faithful in my walk with You, Lord! 1 Hannah Sheets is a passionate lover of Jesus who has been focused on the pursuit of God and His pursuit of a generation.

Our Anxiety is Not God’s Anxiety We get anxious about so many things. Most of us are worried about the direction our nation is going. Our minds imagine all sorts of negative scenarios, but God is not falling off His throne! Do you really think you can change anything by worrying or by scheming and trying to figure out what will bring about the best outcome? He invites us to pray and enter His rest, because there He can calm our hearts and show us how much He cares. Then, He can give us His directions and surprise us with His answers! (Timmerle Kelly)1 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7; NASB) Give Him 15 minutes in prayer: Confess to God the things that make you feel anxious and even fearful. Repent of any doubt and unbelief, so that He can really deal with these matters. Thank Him for caring about these things more than you do! Thank Him for His intervention and the answers that are coming. Now, filled with refreshed faith and peace, ask Him again to intervene in the affairs of man. Be specific in your requests. A prayer you can pray: Dear Lord, forgive me for being fearful about (be specific). Forgive me for not really believing that You care as much about these things as I do. This thought pattern makes me think You won’t answer my prayers and makes me feel anxious and even hopeless. Help me to see that You care far more about these things than I do! Thank You so much for exchanging my anxiety with Your peace! I believe You hear my prayers. Amen. Today’s decree: The Lord cares about my concerns more than I do, therefore I throw my anxiety on Him! 1 Timmerle Kelly is the Managing Editor for GiveHim15.
