The “Communion” Revival

There is absolutely no doubt that we are in the beginnings of revival in America, an outpouring of such proportions that it will be considered another Great Awakening. Many efforts have contributed to this: much prayer, worship gatherings, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and more. America has obviously not been fully cleansed and transformed – sin still abounds – but cleansing and transformation are the results of salvation and revival, not the causes. 

Small acts of obedience have been essential; grassroots efforts that are often unseen by the masses combine in the spirit realm to become great waves of anointing and momentum. Occasionally, however, the Lord leads individuals to convene larger gatherings of believers. Lou Engle and The Call come to mind, as does Washington for Jesus, A Million Women, and others. 

One of the more unique, larger gatherings Holy Spirit has orchestrated was Awaken the Dawn in October of 2017. Fifty-eight tents lined the Washington Mall, filled with 24/7 worship led by 1700 worship teams. Yes, I said 1700. Fifty thousand people attended, and 4,000,000 watched and participated online! Many people were saved, including government officials, many more were healed, and statewide movements of prayer and revival were birthed in every state. This event truly was used to help birth a new day. Since 2017, Awaken the Dawn has hosted 800 tent gatherings in capitals, campuses, and cities around the nation. 

Holy Spirit has sovereignly led David Bradshaw and Awaken the Dawn to host another gathering on the National Mall this upcoming October 9-12, called Communion America. Though David and his ministry are hosting the week, it is truly a collaboration of several ministries, including ours. The power of unity and agreement will contribute to the release of incredible breakthroughs for our nation. Fifty tents, one for each state, will be filled with 24/7 worship, culminating in partaking of the Lord’s Table together. The sacrifice of Christ will be honored as millions of people there and throughout the nation take Communion together. Without question, this will further open the heavens over America. I will be there – consider joining me. 

I realize many of you, due to jobs and other responsibilities, cannot attend every event of this nature. However, if it is possible, you should consider attending this gathering at least for a day. We are told in Scripture that three times a year, all men in Israel who could possibly do so were required to attend the major feasts in Jerusalem (Exodus 23:14-19). Joel 2:16 emphasizes gathering the nation to seek the Lord‘s restoration. These and other references emphasize the importance of God’s people coming together at times. The sacrifice and agreement that takes place accomplish things in the spirit that do not occur as we gather in our smaller gatherings.

I can safely say that God has used various visits to Washington, D.C., to accomplish as much or more in my heart than any other activity. There is something about taking a stand in our nation’s capital – as both a citizen of heaven and of America – that is incredibly significant. My emotions have run the gamut when doing so, from overwhelming travail accompanied by many tears to exultant, powerful decrees. If you have never made such a pilgrimage, this would be a great time to do so. During my visits, not only have I been used, I have been marked. Nothing has done as much to solidify the revelation that this is MY country as have these visits to pray in Washington, D.C. Holy Spirit has told me many times while there, “Take ownership of this nation – it belongs to you.”

Why Communion?

The Lord has informed numerous leaders over the past few years that Communion would play a significant role in what He’s about to do. This is not a new phenomenon, by the way. The great Cane Ridge revival of the 1800s was born out of Communion. That great revival rocked our nation and birthed the Second Great Awakening. It is no exaggeration to say that Communion birthed an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that saved our nation. 

Why would the Lord choose Communion to launch and be the focal point of an outpouring? The answer seems simple: nothing honors, calls attention to, and reminds us of the Lord‘s sacrifice and our salvation more than partaking of the Lord’s Table. Imagine the honor He will feel when millions of His family do it together in this gathering.

And imagine the terror hell must feel when we do so! Nothing overcomes the powers of hell like the blood of Jesus. God’s decree of freedom for the human race was written with the blood of Jesus. It covers the Mercy Seat of heaven and unlocks God‘s mercy on earth.

The book of Hebrews says that the blood of Christ “speaks!” (Hebrews 12:24). Indeed, it does. Loudly. I believe its message of freedom will reverberate in the heavens over our nation this October, as millions of us join together to honor its life-giving power. 

Please get behind this effort in any and every way possible: your prayers, participation, and by spreading the word. You can also help with financial support, as these events cost a couple of million dollars. Perhaps you can sow a gift into this. Ceci and I will certainly be doing so. Check out the link we are providing, which will explain the event more fully and tell you how you can support it.

Pray with me:

Father, we know You relate to people, not just as individuals, but as groups of people. Family units are blessed and cursed, as are cities and entire nations. Also nations, just like individuals, possess divine purposes and destinies. We know You raised up America to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the Earth. And though we have rejected You and turned from this calling, in Your mercy You are restoring us. We declare that we will experience a great harvest, and also be used to reap an incredible harvest in other nations.

Without a doubt, You have led David Bradshaw and Awaken the Dawn to host this Communion gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Now, we ask You to breathe Your life, favor, and blessing into it. Give it wind. Move upon the hearts of tens of thousands of people to attend, and millions more to participate online. We ask that through this event, Christ would take His rightful place in our nation. As we partake of the bread and wine that week, arise and scatter Your enemies. Give us great breakthrough in the heavens, shattering strongholds and lifting the veil of darkness off millions of people. Let the power released as we gather merge with the power released from millions of prayers and other significant events in our nation over the past 30+ years. Amalgamate and synchronize these into one huge explosive release of Your power. We ask for all the funds needed to accomplish this event.

And we continue to pray for our government leaders. Today, we focus on the judicial system of America. This branch of our government is out of order and out of control. Many of those in it release injustice, not justice. Many judges, including Supreme Court justices, oppose You, disrespect Your Word and ways, violate our Constitution, and reject common sense. We ask You to stop this somehow! Bring Your redemption into rebellious elements of this branch of our government. Remove those who oppose You and give us righteous and wise judges who honor You. 

Continue to give righteous leaders in the executive and legislative branches of our government wisdom and understanding, as they seek to transform America back to health. Pour out Your Spirit on our government – let history read that the government of America was impacted greatly by the Third Great Awakening. Change our government! Awaken it! Enlighten it! Return it to our righteous roots. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

Our decree: 

We decree that another great Communion revival has begun and will come to fullness in America.
