The Awakening of America, Part 2

The Awakening of America

          I keep hearing more and more about how bad America is and how it is doomed to be judged and destroyed.  I find that in the Book of Jonah, a city by the name of Nineveh was on God’s hit list for their wickedness.  God did not want to judge or destroy the city, but He needed someone to announce the impending judgment and to pray.  Jonah, like the church today, didn’t want to do what God wanted done.   To make a long story short, Jonah went.  The city repented and was saved (for a time).

           I don’t believe that God wants to judge America, but He needs some Jonah people to “blow the trumpet in Zion” and awaken the people.  I believe that America’s best days are still to come if we will “humble ourselves and pray”.  I don’t believe we will go on forever or return to the covenant “Constitution” that God set up for us here, but I do believe we have one more great revival left before Jesus comes back.  God has always looked for intercessors to stand in the gap and I believe that is you and me.

          James 5:16-17 (AMP)

Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored (to a spiritual tone of mind and heart).  The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working).  (Remember that you are that righteous man because of Jesus  II Cor 5:17-21)

          James 5:17-18

Elijah prayed and stopped the rain for 3½ years.  He prayed again and the rain came and the land produced crops.

          I truly believe that if we stand in the gap and pray for an awakening, that the Father will grant it.  We need an end time revival to awaken the sleeping giant which is the Body of Christ.

          The most powerful thing in this planet is the Spirit-filled church of the Living God, not bombs, military or nations, but the church with prayer in their hearts and on their lips.

          Once again, James 5:16, the prayers of a righteous man are dynamic in their workings.  Pray for an awakening and be ready to minister to the multitudes that the Father will bring into the church.
