While men record their skewed interpretations of history, God ultimately dictates its course. Nations crumble, and empires rise, paving the way for their successors through rivers of blood. A breach, if not repaired, can lead to catastrophic consequences. Despite the proliferation of Bibles, sermons, books, blogs, an abundance of money, podcasts, prayers, and conferences, we have not brought our nation any closer to God in over fifty years. There is a lack of power, as illustrated in the book of Acts, to stem the tide of sin in our beloved land.Many recognize this desperate need for such an intervention by God, yet a pervasive coldness and apathy grip the land. In 1 Kings 18, we witness God's supernatural response to Elijah's plea, 'Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.' However, this intervention was preceded by Elijah's critical action: 'he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.'Convinced that God will not intervene unless we repair the breach, this book humbly seeks to share the burden God has placed upon me about the deeper need of our day. It calls for removing hindrances, repairing the altar, and witnessing God's mighty power to save us. 'Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.'
