a window of grace
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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
As I stood at the National Mall on Oct.12, 2024, praying with millions of other believers, I was grieved by how far our nation had fallen. This America we now live in is not the place I grew up in. Sin has been allowed to run rampant, culture has been perverted and even many of our churches have been compromised. Not to say there was none of that in the 80s and 90s but it certainly wasn't as In Your Face as it is today. I was reminded of those who've gone before us. Those who raised their voice in opposition to what was culturally acceptable and shined a light in the dark places. Brave men and women like Dr. Martin Luther King, Reverend Billy Graham, Kathryn Kuhlman and Maria Woodworth-Etter. They chose not to be comfortable, complacent and conforming. They chose the path of sure resistance for what was right and true and holy. They paid high prices to be change makers but we have benefitted, as a nation, from their efforts.
As I gazed across the expanse of The Capital Mall I could see a mosaic of people from many tribes and tongues, young and old, male and female all united with one hearts cry. One purpose for gathering. We were crying out for the land we love. The land that was, at its inception, dedicated to God Almighty. We cry out for healing and mercy for the innocent blood that's been shed within our borders. We cry out against the injustice and demonic strongholds that have perverted our great country. We cry out for those enslaved and abused by wicked people to be set free and restored. We cry out for justice and a cleansing and purifying of our land. We cry out for a Great Awakening. We cry out for God's Will to be done.
There was a directive from the stage to gather in groups, hold hands and pray. When we did I had a vision of a Priest from Biblical times. He had a beard and was adorned with a priestly robe and a beautiful head covering. I immediately went to my knees. When I inquired of the Lord what He was showing me He said, "You have come to Me as priests and kings. You have entered the Holy of Holies. I have heard from Heaven. And I will heal you land." I knew in that moment it was His response to us taking Him at His Word in 2 Chronicles 7:14. We were called by His name and had humbled ourselves. Many of us had fasted. We were praying, seeking His face and not only turning from any wickedness in our own lives but repenting on behalf of the wickedness in our nation. His word says, "then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2Chron.7:14b)
He has heard & He Will Heal Our Land!!
If we do our part.... He will always do His. He will answer when we cry out. He watches over His Word to perform it according to Jeremiah 1:12. We must get our expectation up!!! We cannot get caught up looking around at how horrible things have become as if anything is too hard for our God.
The morning of Oct. 12th I was in-between awake and asleep all night so I'm not sure if it was a vision or a dream but I saw the Washington Monument go straight down into the ground and disappear. I didn't really know anything about that monument and simply took note of what I saw. But throughout the day I discovered that the Washington Monument is actually designed after an Egyptian obelisk which in Egyptian mythology represents the sun god ra. Very interesting. Especially since it stands directly across from the nations Capital building. Now I'm not positive if that statue will disappear like I saw in the vision/dream. But.... as I sat watching the polls come in, in the early hours after election night, I was reminded of what I saw. And I knew this was that. The Lord Himself was giving us a window of time. A window of grace before His soon return. That monument was representing the stronghold that had been put in place by demonic rulers and it was coming down in Jesus name!!
Over the next several hours and even days I was in awe as I saw the overwhelming response of the American people. We are a people that are fed up with the tyrannical rule of the enemy. We are fed up with the perversion and twistedness that's been forced upon us. God has heard the cries of His people and He, by His grace and mercy, is giving us a window.
Now is not the time to back down and get back to life per the norm. It's not time to get complacent and comfy in our homes. It's time to press in on our knees before the Holy One. It's time to tell our neighbors, coworkers and friends all about our gracious God. It's time to speak up in the face of injustice and evil and say NO MORE!!! Not on my watch!! Devil it is not your time yet!! You will have to wait! This is the hour of the church of God Almighty. In Jesus name you will wait!!
Jesus is coming back for a glorious Bride. One who's made herself ready. One without spot or wrinkle who's not fornicated with the world. Not a weak and wimpy bride that's just "holding on till Jesus comes". NO!!! A GLORIOUS BRIDE!
Now is the time to shine bright. To look different and talk different. To be Jesus in the flesh to all those around us. To allow HIM to rise up BIG on the inside of us. It's time to preach The Gospel, lay hands on the sick and bind up the broken hearted. It's time to BE THE CHURCH!!
The time is NOW!!
Will you take your place? Will you cast off anything that's hindering you?
Will you step through this window of grace
into the human race
and bring them JESUS?
They are crying out for Him and we must introduce them to our King.
May God be glorified from the White House, to the school house, to our house.
In Jesus Mighty name!
