Word of the Lord, Thursday, October 25, 2012
Prophetic Insight: Father has released some powerful words over the United States through varying, anointed vessels over the past decade far and wide. What He has spoken have been powerful warnings and blessings to the Body and to the nation, each one released in expectation of awakening His Body and this nation to the reality that Christ, Yeshua is our Lord, and causing us to repent, turn away from our sin and show forth His Glory in the earth.
In my spirit, Father revealed that we have not only hit a critical, altering “point of decision” in this nation; but also within the church. We stand in a place of accepting a socially acceptable version of our faith (as my pastor calls it) vs. the true gospel as it was represented by the foundational teachings of Yeshua and the disciples that set forth examples for the early Church (the congregation of the Lord).
The Gospel reminds us that if a nation is to be healed, healing must come to congregation. This can be seen in many places in scripture but what stands out to me now is the book of Revelation and the chapters in which the Apostle John is shown the seven congregations of the Lord. It is also expressed in 2 Chr-onic-les 7. In fact the verses 12-14 states:
12 ADONAI appeared to Shlomo (Solomon) by night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up the sky, so that there is no rain; or if I order locusts to devour the land; or if I send an epidemic of sickness among my people;
14 then, if my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.
As a people, we hold the keys to the Kingdom. Even in the midst of the political unheaval and the continued turning away of this nation from the presence of God; we – the Church – have an inward call to reconciliation that will manifest an outward Glory and produce a harvest. No matter what, this call will never change. Nor will Father every give up on bringing His bride, His true remnant into spiritual beauty. No matter what we see with the natural eye, Father’s hear to see ALL MEN come to know Him will never change. He loves this world, He loves this nation and sent His son to redeem it. This prophetic word is a reminder of Father’s heart for us in “the now” and our call to unify for the healing of the nations. It is a cry of mourning and lamenting of those things that grieve the spirit; and an awakening for our hearts to earnestly “desire” Father’s reconciliation for all those souls who will receive it. You see, the healing of a land or a nation is about the Spirit pulling people from their destruction.
This Word is Father revealing to us, once again, about the kind of power we can have when are hearts are focused on His will alone. It is a cry to put away the superficial and pickup the supernatural — individually and corporately. This place of “healing” is not referring to a government reconciled, but a nation of God-directed people who are committed to ushering in the will of the Lord. It is about blowing the trumpet as often as necessary so that those who have an ear to hear might be saved. It is about you and I – the sons of God — remembering that ABOVE ALL THINGS Father is looking for a people that will worship Him in spirit and in truth, a people desiring reconciliation.

THE WORD OF THE LORD
Psalm 107:15-20 CJB:
“Let them give thanks to ADONAI for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity! For he shattered bronze doors and cut through iron bars.
There were foolish people who suffered affliction because of their crimes and sins; they couldn’t stand to eat anything; they were near the gates of death. In their trouble they cried to ADONAI, and he rescued them from their distress; he SENT HIS WORD and HEALED them, he DELIVERED THEM from DESTRUCTION.”
“I love this nation of people – the United States of America,” says the Spirit of the Lord. “Have I released my vial of judgment? Yes. Have I brought continuous chastisement and continue to do so? Yes. Even now, I am continuing to pour my fire upon it in great measure in hope of awakening a dry and weary land from its sleep. I am not a God who warns a hopeless nation. But I come, that my people may repent and return to me. Beloved, if there is one soul that can be lifted from a valley of dry bones I will do what is required to lift that soul.
“This nation is yet near the gates of death, just as many nations have been at this gate in centuries past because of their crimes and their sins, says the Lord. Yet, I have never grown weary in the pursuit of loving them. I have never given up on that which I created and called good. It is and always will be my desire to CALL MY PEOPLE back to me for surely, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Yes, beloved, this is the world that I have loved, even this nation. This is the world that I have delivered and saved through my Son’s sacrifice.
“And it is written, every knee will bend before me, and every tongue will publicly acknowledge that I AM God.
“I am calling my body in this hour to continue to rise to the occasion in which they have been called – beyond what they see with the natural or hear with the natural ear. My people, my people… my people – those who have risen up – know how great my mercy is toward them. They know how great my grace has been toward them. Be reminded of where I have brought YOU from, says the Lord. Remember the patience I have had with you? Remember what I have done in your life and continue to do?
“As you remember, please know that I am doing the same in this nation and every nation – even in the midst of their sin. It is for this reason that I have called you forth as change agents in the United States. Your prayers, your love, your compassion and your obedience to pray will save souls… as I move through this nation. More than anything, it is my desire to see MY PEOPLE come together for the healing of this nation. I am calling my Body together in this hour… as you are the catalysts of impact, change and HEALING. Healing, beloved… begins with you.
“In the midst of every judgment I have ever brought forth there has been a time of repentance. In the midst of every judgment there has been a glorious hope and future. I have always provided instruction how to bring this vision for hope forth. The key in this hour is that you, beloved, do all that I command you to do – each body part performing its function.
“Again, I have not forsaken the United States of America! Have I brought judgment? Again, I say Yes. Has this nation seen the visitation of my wrath? Again I say, Yes. And still it is a “protected” nation among nations. With each wave of awakening I am yet following my ancient, established patterns, plans and purposes to bring this nation to its expected end. I am still pouring oil upon it and rescuing my people. (Deuteronomy 31:6; Hebrews 13:5; John 10:28) Those who are mine will never be forsaken.
“In the midst of all that men see, I have placed before you a surging stream of HEALING WATERS. I am calling you to enter in, says the Lord. Truly the harvest is plentiful in this nation and I desire to show myself in the midst of this critical season. Remember the work of the ministry. (Isaiah 61; Matthew 28:18-20) Do not forsake THIS work. I have set you apart for a continuous flow of HEALING and I have drawn you out to usher in my shalom.
“I desire the congregation in the United States of America to be healed inside out…. that I may fully be glorified in the earth. Have I not caused my congregation, my bride in this country to set the stage for other nations? Have I not thrust you into the forefront? There is an opportunity before you NOW to show forth my Glory and to continue to unite in the Spirit from city to city, coast to coast. Haven’t I promised you that I will show you what you are to do? Get your house in order. Listen and obey all that I command of you.
“Healing for this nation, my beloved, is resting in the hands of my congregation. As my Body heals, this nation will heal. I am stretching the spiritual eyes of my Bride wide! I am shifting your eyesight and your focus deeper into my Word. I am sending forth HEAVENLY strategies for unity that you may connect SOLELY for my purposes. (1 John 4:7-10) I am reminding you to love what I love as I first loved you.
“Surely, this is the land that I have given you! This nation is where you have been planted. Go. Possess it. (Deut. 1:8) Surely, everything that I send forth… goes forth to reconcile or strengthen.
“You, beloved, have been chosen to walk with me in the GLORIOUS DEATH of THIS NATION …. so that many might rise to ETERNAL LIFE in me.
“It is in death that I have drawn you out of the world (Psalm 51:5; Romans 5:12) and it is in LIFE ETERNAL that I have called EVERY SOUL into accountability. Did I not declare: See now that I, yes, I, am he; and there is no god beside me. I put to death, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal…” (Deut. 32:39) – In Jesus Name
Acts 4:29-31 CJB, “So now, Lord, take note of their threats; and enable your slaves to speak your message with boldness! Stretch out your hand to heal and to do signs and miracles through the name of your holy servant Yeshua!” While they were still praying, the place where they were gathered was shaken. They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, and they spoke God’s message with boldness.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 CJB, “…then, if my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”
1 John 5:14-16 CJB says, “This is the confidence we have in his presence: if we ask anything that accords with his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – then we know that we have what we have asked from him.”
Luke 4:17-19 CJB says, “…and he was given the scroll of the prophet Yesha`yahu. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of ADONAI is upon me; therefore he has anointed me to announce Good News to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the imprisoned and renewed sight for the blind, to release those who have been crushed, to proclaim a year of the favor of ADONAI.”
