God says, "America, You are Mine"
A Vision of Revival for the Nations

"In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the
Lord" (Is. 59:19).
This year's elections in the U. S. were nothing short of astonishing; like a series of electric shocks. I speak of the corruption in voting, picketing political headquarters, the manipulation
and out-right slander of political as well as non-political figures by the media as it fit their purpose and a brooding anger of the general public toward anyone who did not agree. I could feel the love of many growing colder
due to the increase of wickedness (Mt. 24:12).
The attitude of many during these elections broke God's heart and wearied Him. It seems to many that God and His decrees have become irrelevant. They say, "Where is
the God of justice?" as if they are unsure if He exists. Or they choose to shape a God to their own liking saying, "all who do evil are good in the Lord's sight, and He is please with them" (Malachi 2:17).
It seems evil has become the new good and good the new evil. Little by little they make God in their image, structured by what they see as truth, expecting Him to abide by their definition of Him.
In the face of this growing evil, I began to sense in my spirit millions of Christians across the globe seeking God at this very serious moment. Removing themselves from the chaos of life and the voices around them, they
are drawing closer to Him than ever before. Literally, they are hiding away with Him to find His heart again and seek Him - to find refuge in His arms. I felt them in the secret place, still and quiet, not speaking, but
listening to their Father and finding strength and perfect peace. "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." (Is. 26:3).
These dear saints weren't crying out for an issue or a candidate now, but for God's presence. They were crying for REVIVAL. In the spirit realm, I saw rivers and streams that had begun to run dry slowly start to fill up, and clarity of mind brought peace and resolute faith.
Vision: Revival for the Nations
In a vision, I saw a titanic wave come rushing toward the White House it was unforgiving and relentless. This wave was not made of water, but of people. They were evil
people who came with destructive agendas. With unbelievable force, the wave crashed against the White House. I saw President Obama picked up and carried away by this powerful force.
I heard the Lord speak, and speaking of Obama He said, "He will go where he does not wish to go and do what he does not want to do." I was unnerved at seeing him thrown about by a force he could not control.
However, the Lord showed me that if we would pray for him, He would captivate his heart and bring him to humble desperation for more of God. I felt instantly, that though he would enter his presidency a man who thought he knew himself and had very definite convictions, he would indeed find himself to be a very different man with a very different heart.
I then saw President Obama on his knees in the White House begging God to help him. This was done, not out of formality, but out of genuine desperation. I felt strongly that he knew his only hope was God. What I
sensed in him at this time was real - a true and genuine, desperate longing to know God.
Then, I saw all over the globe men and women crying out to God with the same genuine desperation. Fear gripped the hearts of
people who did not know God, forcing even proud men and women to their knees in humble resignation of their need of Him. Their cries brought God.
Our Father desires to bring revival to the nations; it is His will
for us. Not just a revival for the Church, but of the nations. Not just a revival of healings and tingly feelings, but to draw men to deep, long-lasting repentance. He desires to bring a revival to His beloved creation and
allow His supernatural power to humble them and bring them to repentance of their sins, causing them to turn to Him. He longs for them to come to Him and He will reach out to Him with a powerful torrential flood of His glory.
"In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the Lord" (Is. 59:19).
Whether you
supported Barack Obama's bid for the presidency or not, we have no choice but to support him now.
We must pray for our young president now more than ever. We must support him with our prayers and use our faith in God to
help him. He needs us. We need to be very careful with the words we speak about him - to use them as messages from heaven not the accusations of hell. Not that we live in an unrealistic lala land, not that we don't stand firm
in the issues, but to submit our thoughts and words about our new president to the obedience of Christ.
If we bless him, he will become a blessing to this nation and to the world. If we curse him, he will become a
curse. He, indeed, will become what we declare him to be - words have power. Our words can bring life or death. We can affect the future of this presidency. This is a very grave season in the nations of the world, but instead of fearing the future, we must face it boldly in the authority we have in Jesus Christ.
No matter who the president is, God is in control. He alone will decide the direction of this nation. We must ask Him to give us time to win the lost. In God alone will we trust. And only in Him will we put our
faith for our future. He is our ROCK. He is our STRENGTH. He is our FORTRESS. And because He leads us, we will not fear. AMERICA BELONGS TO GOD!!!!
Seek God; in Him alone will you find peace. Renew your faith in
Him and resolutely let your light shine for men to see the way to their Savior, Jesus Christ. "For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory
of the Lord rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance" (Is.60:1-3).
Will you agree with me in prayer for the following prayer points?
1. President-elect Obama
2. Vice President-elect Biden
3. The new chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel
4. Our nations media outlets
5. The U. S. House and Senate
