When the Soul is Laid Bare Before God

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:45:00 -0400

What does it really mean to pour out your heart before the Lord? This episode traces that question through Scripture, from Hannah’s cry to Hezekiah spreading his burden before God, and shows that real prayer is not built on perfect wording but on sincerity before God’s face. Listen to America Pray Now Leader, Josiah Alway, as he shares on pouring out the soul before God.

Sighing & Crying for Hidden Sin that Hinders Awakening

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 05:45:00 -0400

What if the greatest barrier to an awakening is not outside the church, but within it? In Ezekiel’s vision, those marked by God and sparred from judgment were those who sighed and cried over the sin in His Sanctuary. In this episode, America Pray Now Director, Hanna Alway, calls believers to honest examination, repentance, and a deeper kind of intercession—one that stands in the gap, grieving over the sin within the Church, preparing the way for His presence to return.

The Dangerous Breach No One Sees

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:45:00 -0400

America’s greatest danger may not be what is happening around us, but what has been allowed within. Drawing from the warnings of Ezekiel and the testimony of past revivals, this episode explores the spiritual breaches caused by compromise, idolatry, and hidden sin within the church.

In ancient cities, a single gap in the wall left everything vulnerable to the enemy. In the same way, tolerated sin and spiritual indifference have created unseen openings in the body of Christ today—often without grief or resistance.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, America Pray Now Director, Hanna Alway, calls believers to examine their own hearts and to take their place as intercessors—those who sigh and cry over the condition of the church and the nation, standing in the gap for repentance, mercy, and restoration.

Will we recognize the breach… and respond?

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 05:45:00 -0400

In this episode, America Pray Now Director, Hanna Alway, explores how spiritual awakening often begins in humble, united intercession, and why that pattern matters now more than ever. As America nears its 250th anniversary, there is a call for believers to repent, to stand in the gap for their nation, and to seek God for renewal that begins in the church and can touch the entire Nation.

Guarding against Breaches in the Wall of Prayer

Fri, 30 May 2025 09:00:00 -0400

When a rebuilding begins—of anything that has been broken down or destroyed by the powers of darkness—the enemy does not sit idly by. Ezra and Nehemiah experienced relentless opposition when they began rebuilding what their enemies had destroyed, but God equipped them with powerful weapons, which enabled them to complete the work.

In this episode, we explore what those weapons were and how they are still weapons for us today as we work to rebuild through prayer what the enemy has destroyed. If we use these weapons, we will not have any breaches in the wall of God’s protection. The battle is real—but so is the breakthrough.

Is every answered Prayer God's perfect Will?

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0400

After the Lord told King Hezekiah, through the Prophet Isaiah, to set his house in order because he was going to die from his sickness, Hezekiah prayed that he would not die, and the Lord granted his request.

Not Unto Us, O Lord

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Why do we pray for America? Is it because we want America to be great again or because like Moses we care about God’s reputation?

America has been known as a Christian nation and has been blessed by God. If He removes His mercy and blessing what will the heathen say?

When God was ready to destroy Israel, Moses feared that God's reputation would be ruined—that He would be seen as unable to fulfill His promise to bring them into the land. Are you willing to stand in the gap for America, for the sake of God's name? May our hearts be like the heart of Moses, who cared more for God's honor than his own. "Not unto us, O Lord, but for Your name’s sake."
