Dr. Jim Denison's 2013 collection of Lenten devotionals is entitled, "If My People..." and comes at a time that he believes "a Fifth Great Awakening is sweeping the nations, as more people are coming to Christ than ever before in Christian history. How can you join this great movement of God's Spirit?" He goes on to write, "in this year's Lenten devotional guide, we will walk each day with King Solomon as he leads his nation into God's presence and glory. We will commit ourselves to our Father's purpose and experience his transforming power. And we will claim his promise: 'If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land' (2 Chronicles 7:14). 'If My People ...' is more than a Lenten guide - it is God's invitation to intimacy with him. Please join us on this joyous journey."

Is God waiting on you?
On April 6, 1966, Time magazine published a cover with three words: "Is God Dead?" A reporter asked Billy Graham to respond. He smiled and said, "I can assure you that God is not dead. I spoke with him this morning."
Our Scripture continues: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven . . ." "Hear" translates a Hebrew word which means to "listen, give attention to, understand." God hears every prayer for spiritual awakening we offer to him.
His word paints a wonderful picture of this reality: "Another angel . . . was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand" (Revelation 8:3-4).
Is God waiting to receive the incense of your intercession today?
