Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15.

And the title of today's post is The Remnant Doesn't Give Up.

Matthew 21, 12 through 13, and Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those who were selling and buying on the temple grounds,

and he overturned the tables of the money changers and of the seats of those who were selling doves.

And he said to them, it is written, my house will be called a house of prayer.

You're making it a den of robbers. What do you think would occur in the spirit realm over America, followed by breakthroughs in the natural realm,

if even half of the churches in America obeyed Jesus's command to be a house of prayer.

Satan is nothing, if not a cunning strategist. He somehow motivated the church,

God's change agent on earth, to ignore Christ's words.

The context of which Christ's words, House of Prayer,

the context of which was one of the only two violent acts he performed.

Not coincidentally.

The other violent act was also a cleansing of the temple carried out at the beginning of his ministry.

I should add that Luke tells us this last one occurred immediately after Christ wept uncontrollably over Jerusalem and announced its destruction.

It seems logical that the two were related.

The blindness of Jerusalem and its destruction were caused by religious blindness.

This infuriated him.

How does he feel today?

I can assure you that in churches across America this weekend,

not even one or two minutes will be given to prayer for the lost,

for this collapsing nation, for salvation to the nations of the earth, or for anything else.

Most churches will have none.
