Believers, Let's Have a Tea Party!

by Jeannette Burleigh


In the recent months, we have seen the citizens of the United States organize in order to share their concerns about what is going on in our government. In honor of the Boston Tea Party during the American Revolution war, these meetings are labeled "tea parties". The people are uniting and demanding, on the authority of the constitution, that the politicians adhere to the principals set in the constitution.
I read Nehemiah today and saw how Nehemiah was grieved and concerned about what was happening to the people back in Jerusalem. He prayed and fasted for that city and the people. If you read the prayer you see it contains repentance of sin...
In my spirit, I think it is time that the body of Christ to have a spiritual "tea party". First, we need to repent to God for our sins as Nehemiah did. Then we need to unite and demand, with the authority of the name of Jesus, His precious blood, and His Word that the enemy, the devil, get his hands off our nation, finances, and families!

Nehemiah 1:5-11
O Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps his covenant of unfailing love with those who love him and obey his commands,
6 listen to my prayer! Look down and see me praying night and day for your people Israel. I confess that we have sinned against you. Yes, even my own family and I have sinned!
7 We have sinned terribly by not obeying the commands, decrees, and regulations that you gave us through your servant Moses.
8 “Please remember what you told your servant Moses: If you are unfaithful to me, I will scatter you among the nations.
9 But if you return to me and obey my commands and live by them, then even if you are exiled to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back to the place I have chosen for my name to be honored.
10 The people you rescued by your great power and strong hand are your servants.
11 O Lord, please hear my prayer! Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you. Please grant me success today by making the king favorable to me. Put it into his heart to be kind to me.
