Today Is the Anniversary

Today is the anniversary of the planting of the cross and dedication of our land to the Lord at Cape Henry. My friend, Steven Springer, informed me and others of a prayer assignment Holy Spirit has given him related to this event. I know it is very significant and am passing it on to you for agreement. Steven said:

“Since last summer, following a significant dream I had, I have felt the prompting of the Lord multiple times to go to Cape Henry, Virginia, the very place where Rev. Robert Hunt and a small group of devoted lovers of Jesus first landed on April 26, 1607. Just days later, on April 29th, they planted a cross on that shore and made a profound proclamation over this land before it was ever known as the United States of America.

“Now, 419 years later, in the 250th year of our nation’s independence, I sense strongly that this proclamation must be declared again this year, April 29, 2026. This is a moment to remind the land and the spiritual atmosphere over this nation that the word of the Lord does not return void, but is fulfilled with power. There is a sense of a double-portion promise, as the Lord God Almighty is ready to perform His Word.

“We invite you to stand with us in agreement on this assignment.

“Here is the decree we will make again! [From the original prayer and declaration by Hunt and those with him.]

“‘We do hereby dedicate this land, and ourselves, to reach the people within these shores with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this land, along with England, be evangelists to the world. May all who see this cross remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and this most noble work, that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled. From these very shores the gospel shall go forth, not only to this new world, but the entire world.’

(Then Steven declares the Scriptures below, quoted by Hunt and his team. We won’t read them now, but will in today’s prayer.)

“The United States of America will be saved, fulfilling Psalm 33:12 (AMP): ‘Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.’

“Psalm 22:27–28 (TPT): ‘From the four corners of the earth, the peoples of the world will remember and return to Yahweh. Every nation will come and worship Him. For Yahweh is King of all, who takes charge of all the nations.’

“Psalm 22:27–28 (MSG) declares: ‘From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God. Long-lost families are falling on their faces before Him. God has taken charge; from now on He has the last word.’”

Before we make this declaration with Steven - and Robert Hunt - I want to re-share a dream, also regarding Cape Henry, God gave my friend Clay Nash in 2020: 

“On the morning of September 9, 2020, I dreamed that Dutch issued a call for eight people to rally near Cape Henry. The team would fast, pray, and re-dedicate/consecrate themselves to the Lord, after which they would go to Cape Henry. As the team obeyed and sought God, dreams were received, revealing a wave of awakening being released, sweeping across the nation. 

“Dutch then said we were ready to set foot on the land, at the cross, and see the ‘Well of Oaths’ opened and freed, to flow across America. 

“Once we arrived at Cape Henry, some from the Cloud of Witnesses appeared, and Rees Howells stepped forth to pray over us. His prayer said, ‘Let those assigned to break up the fallow ground plow deep, in order that the soil of this nation be prepared for the seeds of righteousness to be sown. This will result in an abundant harvest.’

“Howells then took off his coat and placed it on Dutch’s shoulders, saying, ‘This is the coat I wore during World War II, and must be worn by the Ekklesia in order to see the Kingdom harvest at hand.’

“Rees then hugged Dutch - like a father would a son - and said, ‘The training is finished, it’s time to go to war...and you will see the turning of the war.’” End of dream. 

My Thoughts

Cape Henry, more than any other place in America, represents God’s Kingdom purpose for her. When Robert Hunt and company stepped ashore and planted the cross on that beach, he prayed and prophesied the words Stephen shared above.

There is no doubt that these settlers were entering into a covenant with God. And there is no doubt that God placed the desire in their hearts to do so. This was and is God’s plan and destiny for America, and it is being restored. There were eight of us in the dream; eight is the number for “new beginning” in Scripture.

The phrase “well of oaths” actually means “well of covenant.” Oath and covenant are used interchangeably in Scripture. This phrase is the literal meaning of the name Beersheba, where Abraham dug a well and planted a tamarisk evergreen tree, which symbolizes covenant, and called on the Everlasting God (Genesis 21:33).

After Abraham’s death, in an attempt to harm Isaac, various wells Abraham had dug were filled in by Philistines, including Beersheba, “the well of oaths/covenant” (Genesis 26:18). Isaac redug his father’s “well of oaths/covenant” connecting with yesterday, and unlocking what he needed for today and the future. 

In this dream, God was saying to us what Isaac demonstrated: “You must tap into your past, the covenant your fathers made with Me. In this ‘well of oaths/covenant’ you will find the life, revival, spiritual harvest, and restoration you need. 

Rees Howells represents prayer. He was a powerful intercessor and founder of the Bible College of Wales. He and his students shouldered a great intercessory burden during World War II of supporting the Allied Forces and warring spiritually against the Nazis. Rees and his intercessors prayed for hours every day, no doubt helping save the world from Hitler’s demonic plans. 

Rees’ presence in the dream shows us that only the power released through prayer can reopen this well–America’s covenant with God. Howells wrapped his mantle around me - I represented the Ekklesia - and said it was what he wore during WWII, and that we must wear it now in order to win the spiritual war and produce the GREAT harvest God is bringing.

Rees ends his words by saying: “The training is finished, it’s time to go to war.” 

We have done so, and I believe that the war for the reopening of this covenantal well has turned in favor of God’s Kingdom. 

Pray with me:

Father, let the power of this well now flow to the nation, bringing revival, awakening, and reformation. And we pray and declare with Steven–and Robert Hunt:

“We do hereby dedicate this land, and ourselves, to reach the people within these shores with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this land, along with England, be evangelists to the world. May all who see this cross remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this covenant and this most noble work, that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled. From these very shores the gospel shall go forth, not only to this new world, but the entire world.”

The United States of America will be saved, fulfilling Psalm 33:12 (AMP): “Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.” 

Psalm 22:27–28 (TPT): “From the four corners of the earth, the peoples of the world will remember and return to Yahweh. Every nation will come and worship Him. For Yahweh is King of all, who takes charge of all the nations.”

Psalm 22:27–28 (MSG) declares: “From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God. Long-lost families are falling on their faces before Him. God has taken charge; from now on, He has the last word.”

Introduction

I felt that the following word from my brother, Tim Sheets, needed to be shared concurrently with Gina Gholston’s word in yesterday’s GH15. They are in sync, each confirming the other, and I am sharing them with you back-to-back. Tim’s title is:

No More Dismay, No More Delay

There are moments in history when God’s glory moves in such a way that it shifts entire seasons. We are in one of those moments now. To understand this, Holy Spirit has been emphasizing a simple but powerful instruction: Look to the precedents. Throughout Scripture, when God’s glory increased in the earth, it followed recognizable patterns. These weren’t isolated events; they were divine templates that reveal what happens when His presence intensifies among His people.

We are moving, as the Apostle Paul described, from one degree of glory to another (2 Corinthians 3:18). But this transition is not incremental as we often imagine. It is accelerating and compounding. It is the convergence of past glory eras merging into a present moment that will exceed them all.

What God has done before, He is now doing again, but at a far greater level. One of the clearest precedents is that when glory increases, promises are fulfilled. In every major move of God, there has been a mass activation of what was previously spoken.

We saw this in the Exodus. After generations of waiting, promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob suddenly moved from prophecy to fulfillment. We saw it again in Acts 2. Prophetic words were no longer distant hopes; they became living realities. As the Holy Spirit hovered over the 120 in the upper room, the church was birthed.

This is how the Spirit works. At creation, He hovered, brooding over what was formless, bringing life where there was none. He incubates what God has spoken until the moment it should be born. And the timing is not random, but divinely appointed.

Changing the Times

In Revelation 10, the Apostle John records a striking declaration. A mighty angel stands and swears an oath before Heaven that there will be “no more delay” (Revelation 10:6 TPT). This is not symbolic language. It is a legal decree from the Godhead. 

The word used for “delay” is the Greek word ‘chronos’ and refers to measured, sequential time.(1) The angel is announcing the end of a chronos season and the arrival of a ‘kairos,’ God’s appointed moment.(2) The “now” time. The due season. This is when what has been promised can become what is manifested.

There are seasons when God allows delay. During this time, growth is happening beneath the surface, as faith is being formed and endurance is being strengthened. But the moment comes when heaven intervenes and says, “Enough.” No more waiting. No more postponement. No more interruption. No more delay.

Satan’s Strategy

If satan cannot stop a promise, he will attempt to delay it (Daniel 7:25). And if he can delay it long enough, he hopes to produce something even more dangerous than opposition: Dismay.

Delay, repeated over time, wears on the soul. It weakens courage, erodes discipline, and dissolves resolve. Prolonged pressure without a visible breakthrough becomes exhausting.

This is how demoralization works. It is subtle. It rarely arrives in dramatic moments, but accumulates through unanswered prayers. Another postponed breakthrough. Another season of “almost.” Over time, expectations begin to fade. Faith becomes quieter, and hope becomes cautious. Eventually, the question emerges to why even try? This is not a failure of devotion. It is the result of sustained spiritual warfare.

Many in the body of Christ have endured this in recent years. Cultural pressure has increased. Opposition has intensified. Compromise has muddied clarity. Even within the church, criticism and division have added to the weight.

The result is people who still believe, but are tired; who still hope, but are battling dismay. Heaven is responding to break this cycle. Holy Spirit is not ignoring the condition; He is addressing it. His instruction is clear: Do not become demoralized.

This is encouragement and also correction. It is a call to realignment. At the very moment when many feel the most weary, Heaven is declaring a shift to “no more dismay and no more delay.”

When God declares the end of delay, He also releases the grace to overcome its effects. Strength returns, vision sharpens, and expectation rises again.

This must occur in order for us to step into a kairos moment. It requires action. When the delay ends, passivity must not remain. Holy Spirit is calling His people into something immediate and active. He is saying ‘Now’ to the body of Christ. Now hope. Now expectation. Now faith. Now declaration.

Faith is not something reserved for someday. It must be present, engaged, and vocal. It aligns with what Heaven is saying and echoes it into the earth. This is how transitions happen. Not just because God decrees them, but because His people agree with them. To decree “no more delay” is to come into agreement and alignment with the Godhead. 

Remember, every season has a purpose. There are times for sowing, times for cultivating, and times for waiting. But there is also a time for harvest. And one of the clearest indicators that a season has shifted is when our efforts begin to bear fruit.

The Lord is signaling that the season is changing. What has been plowed and sown is now ready to be reaped. What has been prayed is now ready to manifest. What has been promised is now ready to be fulfilled. This is why the call to align now is urgent. Not eventually, but now.

Dismay cannot survive in the presence of renewed glory. As the weight of God’s presence increases, it breaks the internal effects of prolonged delay. Courage is restored, discipline is rekindled, and resolve is strengthened. The church is not meant to remain in a state of exhaustion. It is meant to rise in strength. Demoralized people are becoming energized people. From hesitation to boldness. From passivity to action. From survival to advancement.

The promise is not uncertain. The Church will finish well, not barely and weakly, but in strength, clarity, and power. The decrees have been made. No more delay in revival. No more delay in harvest. No more delay in fulfilled promises. 

This is the moment to activate faith again–fully, boldly, without reservation. This is the moment to speak what Heaven is saying. This is the moment to expect what has long been hoped for.

Promises will not remain dormant. They will accelerate and come to fullness. The Spirit is still brooding in our day, still hovering and still birthing life. 

So the declaration stands, “no more dismay and no more delay.” Now is the time.  If we will activate our faith according to the Word of the Lord, delay will now be dealt with, and an acceleration will come to birth promises, prophetic words, visions, and prayers in this greater glory season.

Pray with me:

Father, we come into agreement with what You have decreed. You are the One who changes times and seasons, and we are discerning that a divine shift has been ordained by Heaven. In response, we lay down all dismay. Every place in our hearts where delay has weakened our courage, where waiting has worn down our hope, where discouragement has settled into our hearts, we give to You. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh strength into the church.

And Father, thank You for protecting President Trump, his team, and the attendees of the Correspondents’ Dinner this past Saturday night. You continue to foil the enemy’s plans to destroy this man, and we are grateful. A segment of our nation is now dominated and controlled by he who seeks to devour, steal, kill, and destroy (1 Peter 5:8; John 10:10). Remind intercessors daily that human efforts–our Secret Service and law enforcement agencies alone–CANNOT protect this man and our government leaders. We must have YOUR protection. Keep the watchmen engaged and focused.

And do what no person can do: transform and heal our land. In Yeshua’s name we pray these things. Amen.

Our decree: 

We declare the prophetic promise of Holy Spirit: no more dismay, no more delay. It is time for fulfillment.

Introduction

Our friend, Gina Gholston, was the recipient of the “America Shall Be Saved” dream in 2018. Recently, the Lord has been reminding her of this dream. Today’s post is from her, and her title is:

It’s Time to Tip the Scale

​​I recently watched the movie, “A Great Awakening.”(1) I enjoy learning about history, especially revival history, and for that reason, found this film to be deeply compelling. However, as I sat in the theatre, I became convinced that this was not just a movie about history; it is a prophetic wake-up call for the Church. The Lord is awakening His Ekklesia to recognize and reclaim the spiritual inheritance we have received as His heirs and representatives.

The movie depicts a critical moment in history, when the future of America was literally hanging in the balance. It was the impact of an unstoppable spiritual revolution that became the vital pivot point, launching this nation toward its prophetic destiny. That spiritual awakening resulted from the obedience of men and women who devoted themselves to the Lord. Their lives became vessels through which He released His power and the undeniable reality of Jesus, doing so with such evidence that it shifted the course of history.

This is a timely reminder for us today. For once again, the future of this nation is hanging in the balance; just as it was in those formative years, so it is now. The scales could tilt in either direction. The Ekklesia’s response to God’s calling will determine the direction of the tilt; we are the conduits through which His power and glory can be revealed in this critical hour.

This is an urgent moment when destiny and timing are meeting. Purpose, resources, wisdom, revelation, and divine encounters are being unlocked, having come into their right time. We must now take hold of and run with all that God has made available to us.

For the past several weeks, the Lord has been reminding me of the “America Shall be Saved” dream He gave me a few years back. The dream pictured our times of prayer, our appeals to heaven for His intervention. He assured us in the dream that He has heard our prayers. His verdict has been rendered, His intervention has been granted. But at the end of the dream, after the verdict was revealed, the glory of the Lord came to usher in the fulfillment of that verdict! 

I believe God was showing us through this dream that the salvation He has determined for America would come through His manifested glory. And I believe this is now beginning. At the beginning of this year, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “Here comes the glory!” This is the time! Everything is now aligned for another spiritual revolution, and Jesus is calling His Church off the sidelines and onto the frontlines to advance as carriers of His transforming glory. This will fulfill His determined verdict.

Acts 4:27-30 gives a great illustration of this. The Church had experienced a life-changing encounter with God in the Upper Room. Now filled with His Spirit, He launched them with His power, to release His glory. There was a great opportunity for advancement; there was also great resistance, but they were not deterred by the adversity. They realized it was a critical point on the timeline of God’s plan, and that Yahweh had placed them in that specific time to make Jesus known. Their response was NOT, “God hide us from the resistance.” It was, “Lord, grant to us boldness to speak Your Word by stretching forth Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders be done through the name of Your Son, Jesus” (Acts 4:29-30). And through their devoted lives, Holy Spirit worked mightily, turning the world upside down with the demonstration of the glory of God!

This same determined conviction must be embraced by the church today. Our faith in God must be more than just a “talked-about belief”; it has to be resilient and unshakable. We must be fully persuaded that Jesus is the answer to everything. Like the faith-filled men and women who have gone before us, we must be so devoted to God that His light in us shines with the evidence of His power, wisdom, and love. We must dispel the darkness that has covered people throughout the earth. This is our calling. This is our time.

Yahweh reminded me of a word He once spoke to me that is relevant to this moment. He said:

“Watch, and do not resist Me. You have never lived in a time like this. I see beyond what you see. I think beyond what you can think or imagine. I know the way! I have the plan! Align with Me. Hear and co-operate with My Spirit as He leads you.

“I will show My strength and demonstrate My power in and through those whose hearts are fully dependent and focused on Me! Through you, the world will see and know that I Am God. This is the time of the breaking forth of a new day. It will be produced by the light of My glory radiating through those who are completely Mine!”

In this pivotal moment, the church must awaken and boldly engage as Christ’s ambassadors. We must speak and move, not from the perspective and influence of our own emotions and limited understanding, but by the impartation of wisdom that comes by Holy Spirit revelation. As His governing Body, we must speak His Word boldly and confidently, with the authority of Yeshua. It’s time to tip the scale in God’s direction, fulfilling His plan and purpose for our day.

When our time here is finished, and history records our story, may it be said of us, “They carried the mantle of revival, devoting themselves to Christ, and their lives became fuel for the flames of Yahweh! He turned the world upside down through them, demonstrating and revealing His undeniable power and glory.”

Pray with me:

Father, what an honor to have been chosen by You to live in such a time as this! May we embrace the call to be reflections of Your glory, shining the Light of Jesus to the world around us. Continue to work through us to dispel the darkness now shrouding our world.  We trust and know that You are still mighty to save and to deliver. As You work to fulfill Your verdict for America, we offer ourselves as Your vessels. Through our surrendered lives, we ask that You work in and through us, revealing Your power and glory. Tilt the scales of history, bringing America and the nations into alignment with Your plan and intentions. 

We believe this has been occurring, and that the upcoming gathering in Washington, D.C., on May 17 is part of the process. As we rededicate our nation to You, do as You did when Solomon dedicated the Temple: send Your glory! Do as You did at Sinai when the people of Israel dedicated themselves to You: send Your glory and shake the mountain of government. Shake out evil and corruption, return America to You and Your ways. We pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our decree:

As we fulfill our calling and speak God’s Word with boldness, He will tilt the scales of history, fulfilling His determined verdict to save America and bring revival among the nations.
