The powers of darkness do not like the Appeal to Heaven flag, which is not surprising since it is a call to prayer. This flag, commissioned by George Washington and proudly flown by our Founding Fathers, generated prayer that birthed America. And the following vision, given to Gina Gholston, reminds us that God is not finished with this important banner. The vision and its meaning will encourage you. The title of her vision and comments is:

Two Flags Becoming One

America recently celebrated her 249th birthday. I firmly believe it is by God’s sovereignty and for His purposes that our nation exists. It’s not with haughty pride that we believe and state this, but with sincere desire to honor Him and ensure that His original intentions for America are fulfilled. We have been entrusted with this prophetic destiny; we must humbly and intently take our place as His representatives in order to see it fulfilled. 

On this past July 4th, I was reminded of a significant vision the Lord gave me in 2020. Though Dutch shared this vision with you a few years back, I felt the Holy Spirit wanted us to revisit it. 

On May 28, 2020, I received a vision of an American flag being wadded up in someone’s hands. It was then spread out once again, and had become wrinkled, thin, and weak. Then, the flag began to “bleed,” becoming saturated with blue and red stains, which completely covered it. In this stained, wrinkled and weakened state, it looked as if the flag would simply fall apart. 

Then, I saw an Appeal to Heaven flag float downward. It was laid over the top of the stained and limp American Flag, completely covering it. However, the Appeal to Heaven flag not only covered the American flag - it actually penetrated it! As it did, the stains from the bleeding began to disappear and the stars and stripes began appearing again. The American flag was being revived and re-formed. 

When finished, the two flags had not only been united, but were also forged into one solid piece of steel. The Appeal to Heaven flag had been infused into the American flag, and was now part of it, though the appearance of the combined flags was that of the Stars and Stripes. And the Appeal to Heaven flag had solidified the American flag.

Then I heard the Lord say: “This is what I Am doing! I Am forging together the church and the nation. This will strengthen the nation again. America will revive, heal, rise up and reform as the nation I birthed it to be.”

God’s Original Plan

Our roots as a nation are not in our flawed history; they’re in Almighty God, for it was He Who birthed America to be a radiant light of His love and salvation to the world. Imagine the pilgrims who first came to this land, standing on the shoreline of their destiny, breathing a deep sigh of relief that they had survived the voyage. Imagine them falling to their knees under the overwhelming awareness that what was unfolding in the days ahead was about God’s plan of the ages. These pilgrims were not just carving out a new life for themselves; they were taking their place on the timeline of history, building their part of God’s plan. I cannot imagine the mix of emotions within them as they felt the sands of the New World beneath their feet, and gazed upon this beautiful land. Their initial thoughts were definitely toward God, for they planted a cross, prayed and declared, “From these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World, but the entire world.”

The wrinkles of a not-so-perfect history cause some to believe that the prophetic destiny of America is weak, irrelevant, and forever lost. Or perhaps even that no such destiny ever existed. But it did, and America shall be saved, her righteous history and destiny restored.

In this vision of 2020, the Appeal to Heaven flag was representative of the prayer movement in our nation. Our sincere return to God, along with our fervent, righteous prayers have become a force that is strengthening the nation. Because of this, America will revive, heal, rise up, and reform as the nation God birthed it to be.

The Church has been awakened, at least in part. There is a remnant that has been aroused from their slumber and remembered their divine heritage. The destiny of God in us has met up with the timing of God for us, and caused a vicious passion for God’s Kingdom purposes to be restored. We see the distress that we are in, yet we believe and know that transformation is coming! We hear the voice of the Lord echoing through time: “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).

We are not given to despair; we are given to fervent prayer. And God will heal our land. His words to Israel are fitting for the church and for America: “Fear not, for I Am with you; be not dismayed, for I Am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

America is NOT defeated. She may be battered and bruised, but she will not die. We will live and declare the works of the Lord! We are one nation under God! The verdict has been determined: “America shall be saved!” 

Pray with me:

Father, we, Your church, have been built up and strengthened to advance Your Kingdom in America and the world. You have empowered us to release Your life, awaken hope and send Your light into the earth to dispel the darkness. We will utilize our spiritual weapons to pull down every stronghold and stop hell‘s attempts to overthrow Your original purposes for America. We know that life and hope are being restored. An awakening has begun that will surge across the land and awaken the conscience of our nation. Holy Spirit’s wind is blowing, hope is rising, darkness is retreating, and You are strengthening America!

As we declare our faith in what You are doing to restore America, we also continue to pray for those affected by the floods in Texas, New Mexico, and North Carolina. Please bring comfort to those impacted, as they deal with loss and devastation. We ask for Your help and protection to the rescue teams as they continue to search for victims. And we ask for grace to those ministering to hurting people.

We also continue asking that supernatural wisdom be given to government officials as they work to “flesh out” the restoration beginning in our nation. We pray for President Trump, Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Thune, and those working with them. We also ask for Your protection and wisdom over our leaders at the state and local levels. And we pray for Your protection over those in ICE and other law enforcement agencies. Please help us end violence and bring peace to our land. In Jesus’ name we pray all of these things, amen.

Our decree:

We declare that America will revive, heal, arise and reform, becoming the nation Yahweh birthed her to be.
