Hi, my name is David Ravenhill, I'm here to let you know we have just republished my father's book, America is too young to die. This book was written over 30 years ago and yet I believe its message is for today. This book was written because my father had a burden, a burden to see this nation live.
He saw the handwriting on the wall, he saw this nation falling apart morally, economically, politically, but most of all spiritually. He said if Americans don't concentrate in prayer, they will pray in concentration camps. I believe that day is very close.
Only God can save our nation. The White House does not have the answer, Congress doesn't have the answer, no man has the answer. God has given us the answer.
He said if my people, which are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, turn from their wicked ways and seek my face, I will heal their land. We need God's people to pray. This is a call to pray, a call to action, a call to get into our closet and begin to pray like never before.
My father used to say God doesn't answer prayer, he only answers desperate prayer. It's going to take desperate praying to save our nation. We need God to rend the heavens and come down.
God and God alone has the answer. We need to pray. I'm urging you, challenging you, to begin to pray like you've never ever prayed and ask God to heal our land.
God bless you. Thank you.
