America Shall Be Saved!

Since the daily Give Him 15 posts must be written and recorded the day before their release, I am writing this on Election Day and obviously don’t yet know the outcomes. I’ll address the results in tomorrow’s post.

I stated several weeks ago that we will need a miracle to keep both branches of Congress in the hands of conservatives. Americans, almost without exception, vote against the party that won the previous presidential election. Only twice in the last 80 years has this been overcome. However, we have prayed, and many have worked very hard – especially President Trump. By the time you see or hear this, we will know the outcome.

Here is what I know for certain as I write this. My faith is in God and His plans for America, not a political party. Whether Americans stay the course and allow further positive change now, or put the party that wants to stop those changes in power, God’s plan will move forward. Whether that be with renewed momentum, or through God’s pre-planned audible, He will move us forward. The overriding factor in the saving of America is a Third Great Awakening. Having the right people in power doesn’t change this; it simply makes things easier for us. But either way, America shall be saved.

(I am not stating this because I feel conservatives will lose the House or Senate, by the way. I’m simply saying that I know God’s plans, and I know He has raised up a growing, praying remnant that will not waver in their faith regarding those plans, regardless of election results.)

The first time I recall hearing the phrase, “America shall be saved,” it was a quote from Reinhard Bonnke. Bonnke (1940-2019) was a German-American evangelist, principally known for his crusades throughout Africa. Millions of people came to Christ in his meetings, which were marked by great miracles. Later in his ministry, Bonnke became very burdened for America. In 2013, he made the following statement:

“God spoke to me that the time has come for a mighty wave of salvation to sweep the U.S. from city to city, from state to state, and from coast to coast. I’ve seen God shake whole nations in Africa — nations I thought God had given up on suddenly were in the grip of the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And then I came to the only conclusion one can come to: I have turned into an incurable believer that God can do the same in America that I’ve seen done in Africa. I’ve seen it. I’ve experienced it. I have witnesses by the millions that this is the truth. And I will not join the choir of the prophets of doom and gloom. This day is the day of salvation!”(1)

Then in February, Bonnke proclaimed at a two-day meeting in his then hometown of Vero Beach, FL, “America shall be saved!”(2)

Another great confirmation came to me in 2018. We hosted a prayer gathering in Washington, D.C. in February of that year. It was called The Turnaround. This was one of the most significant and powerful prayer gatherings I have ever participated in. Just before the conference ended, I was handed the following dream, given to Gina Gholston. We ended the gathering by sharing it:

“I dreamed that two friends (fellow intercessors), my Mom and Dad, and I were walking down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. I knew The Turnaround conference (at the Trump Hotel) was ending at that very moment.

“I turned and saw a courier angel coming out of the hotel’s doors. He was carrying a scroll, not a huge scroll, but fairly large. His face was set toward the U.S. Capitol building, and he immediately headed in that direction.

“We decided to follow him, and did so even as he went into the Capitol. We then entered the House Chambers. The scene was like that of a State of the Union address. All the lawmakers were in their seats, and many other people were in the gallery. It was a packed house.

“The courier angel with the scroll was standing at the double doors in the back, those through which the Presidents enter for the State of the Union address. As the angel stood there, he loudly announced, with authority and confidence, ‘ALL RISE!’ And just as had happened at the previous State of the Union Address (Trump’s first), some people stood, while others disrespectfully and snidely stayed seated.

“The angel then opened the scroll and said - very loudly and adamantly, ‘The verdict has been determined: AMERICA SHALL BE SAVED!’ Immediately, a ‘cloud,’ no doubt the glory of God, came from behind the angel and filled the room.

“Those who were standing crumpled to their knees, weeping, overcome by the reality of God’s presence. Some who had remained seated were now on their knees, shouting, ‘I'm sorry!!! I'm so sorry!!’ Others, with their hardened hearts, remained seated. I knew judgment was beginning, and God’s ruling authority was being established. Transformation and reformation were initiated; America’s new path had begun.” End of dream.

Since 2000, I have believed that America will be saved. In spite of the filth, apostasy in the church, lies, wicked people in government, the revising of our history, lying educators, corrupt media, overwhelming debt, and the disconnection from our spiritual roots, I have been confident that America shall be saved. And it shall!

See you tomorrow.

Pray with me:

Father, we have determined to believe You, regardless of what we see. Whether by many or few, You are saving America (1 Samuel 14:6). If today’s election outcome is what we wanted, we believe YOU. If not, we believe YOU. Thank You for the words You have given regarding Your verdict over America. We refuse to transfer our faith to a manmade verdict. Elections matter, and we care about the results, but they don’t determine our faith.

Today, we continue to call forth the Third Great Awakening to America, and also a worldwide revival. We ask for this to sweep through our land with Your immeasurable power and strength. You have said that mercy is America’s new currency, meaning that the response You needed from believers, even though only a remnant, has occurred, allowing You to give us mercy. We ask for this now: send a mercy-driven revival! And we thank You for doing so! Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that America SHALL be saved.

Stay the Course (and Vote Today!)

What a whirlwind of activity these past few weeks - for some of us, the past few years. Today’s “Election Day” results won’t end the efforts; truth will march on, as the old hymn states, and deception will continue, as well. The leftists in America are so controlled by their lust for power and their demonically inspired fulfillment of Psalm 2 that they now mirror this Psalm’s description of them:

“Earth-leaders push for position, Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, the God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers: ‘Let’s get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!’” (Psalm 2:2-3 The Message)

When watching the arrogance and insanity of the Left, I sometimes think of Charles Dickens’ famous quote from the opening sentence of his 1859 historical novel, A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”(1) The full sentence reads:

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”(2)

Over the past few decades, we have watched the radical left attempt to redefine America. This progressed to redefinitions of spirituality, right and wrong, and the family unit. It continued its demonic distortion of truth by attempting to redefine life, babies, male and female, and marriage. As Dickens so poignantly described in 1859, their insanity led to “foolishness…incredulity…darkness…despair.” Sin and arrogance against God always do. Their wages are “death,” according to Scripture (Romans 6:23).

Bible-believing Christians are under no delusion that the evil will stop. We just know that it won’t win. God’s grace will “much more abound” (Romans 5:20), and His Kingdom influence will continue to increase here on earth (Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 7:14).

Below is a clear indication of the progress we’ve made over the last few years. It’s President Trump’s Reformation Day Statement, this past Saturday, October 31. For believers, that day isn’t Halloween, when ghosts and goblins are celebrated, but it is Reformation Day, the beginning of the Great Reformation in 1517. It’s the anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his “Ninety-Five Theses” to the door of the Castle Church in Germany, which included a declaration that “The just shall live by faith” (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17). Luther contended that salvation was by grace, through faith in Christ’s sacrifice, not by works, and the world has never been the same. For the first time in history, a U.S. president released a statement honoring this day. Since it received so little attention, I’ll share the complete statement:

“From the earliest days of our Republic, prayer and faith in Almighty God have stood as the foundation of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness. This Reformation Day, I send my best wishes to the countless Christians across our country commemorating the Protestant Reformation and its enduring message of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

“Five hundred years ago, William Tyndale – inspired by the work of Martin Luther -- advanced the Protestant Reformation’s devotion to Holy Scripture through the publication of the first New Testament printed in English, shaping the language of the Bibles that would fortify the faith and resolve of America’s founding generation. The Sacred Scriptures helped form the religious convictions that formed our young Nation’s founding ideals of God-given rights and individual liberty, a spiritual inheritance we honor as we continue to reflect on 250 glorious years of American Independence. The Bible remains a cornerstone of our Nation’s character and upholds our steadfast devotion to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

“Guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, my Administration is working to restore the moral and religious foundations that have sustained our Republic for generations. As President, I will always support citizens of faith and defend their place in the public square, honoring the enduring role of our churches in strengthening families, serving communities, and preserving the core values that have anchored us across the centuries.

“As Christians across our country unite in faith and fellowship this Reformation Day, I send my heartfelt prayers for a meaningful celebration and encourage each of you to draw renewed strength from God’s Word as we carry forward the blessings of faith and freedom throughout our beloved Nation.”(3)

Let this statement encourage you today, Election Day. We have made great progress in turning our nation around. No wonder our president is so hated by the Left. While being accused of destroying our freedoms, he is actually restoring them. They hate the fact that his tenacious efforts have stalled and begun reversing their progress. We know, of course, that all progress has been fueled by prayer and a turning back to God. But He must find those through whom He can work. Thank you, President Trump.

Stay the course, and keep praying. Even today, as people vote, ask God to turn hearts toward righteousness and truth. And thank Him for what He has done.

Pray with me:

Father, as our Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, often quotes from John Quincy Adams, “Duty is ours; results are God’s.”(4) We are giving it our all to see this nation turn back to You, and we believe You are working to make those efforts fruitful. It is not by our might or power, but Yours. Our faith and obedience simply allow the partnership You want and require.

Today, again we ask for Your Spirit and angelic company to be present at polling locations throughout our country. Move upon the hearts of people to vote for truth and righteousness. Expose and stop all fraud. Give us leaders who honor You, the Constitution You inspired, and the freedoms You gave us.

And cause another Great Reformation to continue taking place in our nation and throughout the world. Bring forth the rule of Your Son, the declared King and Redeemer You spoke of in Psalm 2. We pledge our allegiance to Him forever, and declare that America will serve His purposes in our generation (Acts 13:36). And it’s in His name we pray, amen.

Our decree:

We declare that the redeeming and reforming power of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in America and throughout the world.

Historical Prayers and Proclamations, Part 4

Having had an extraordinarily busy schedule throughout October, and an even busier final week, I’m not able to write a post for each day of this week. Today is the final day I’ll be reading from an incredibly powerful and inspiring compilation of prayers released by the White House. Yes, the White House! It is entitled: Prayers and Proclamations Throughout American History. You’re gonna love them!

Taken from The White House Introduction

“From the birth of our nation, America has been strengthened and sustained by people of prayer. From battlefield chaplains at Valley Forge to hymns sung in slave cabins and prayers in pioneer homes, Americans have turned time and again to the “moral Ruler of the universe” in times of triumph and travail. This document gathers such moments, and in doing so, it affirms that the strength of the American spirit lies not exclusively in her ideas, but in the faith that undergirds them.

“These 17 moments of prayer and faith offer compelling evidence of the enduring presence and formative role of faith within the fabric of American public life. Far from being peripheral or incidental, these events underscore how belief in divine providence, the words of Scripture, and the practice of public prayer have shaped the character of American institutions, guided moments of national crisis, and informed the moral imagination of the American people.”

From Number 16

“When Billy Graham stepped to the podium to deliver the invocation at Richard Nixon’s 1969 inauguration, he did so as a fixture of American public life, whose spiritual counsel was sought by presidents of both parties. Beginning with his attendance at President Eisenhower’s inauguration in 1953, Reverend Graham’s continued participation in the inauguration ceremony confirmed a tradition in which divine aid is humbly invoked on behalf of the republic and its new stewards.

“This particular prayer, uttered at the height of cultural upheaval in the late 1960s, functioned as something of a petition and a prophetic warning. In a time when many Americans feared the foundation may be cracking, Graham hearkened back to the bedrock of repentance, righteousness, and redemption.

Billy Graham Prays At The 1969 Presidential Inauguration

“‘Our Father and our God, Thou hast said, ‘Blessed is that nation whose God is the Lord.’ We recognize on this historic occasion that we are ‘a nation under God.’ We thank Thee for this torch of faith handed to us by our forefathers. May we never let it be extinguished. Thou alone hast given us our prosperity, our freedom and our power. This faith in God is our heritage and our foundation!

‘...Thou hast warned us in the Scriptures, ‘If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?’ As George Washington reminded us in his farewell address, morality and faith are the pillars of our society.

‘...Too long we have neglected Thy word and ignored Thy laws. Too long we have tried to solve our problems without reference to Thee. Too long we have tried to live by bread alone.

‘...And now with the wages of our sins staring us in the face, we remember Thy words, ‘If my people who 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.’

‘Help us this day to turn from our sins and to turn by simple faith to the One who said, ‘Ye must be born again.’

‘So we pray, O God, as we enter a new era, that we as a nation may experience a moral and spiritual restoration.

‘We pray this humbly in the name of the Prince of Peace, who shed his blood on the Cross that men might have eternal life. Amen.”’(1)
