Yesterday was the beginning of something God has been showing me for 6 years now. Starting in 2001 the Lord began showing me stadiums of young people coming together to honor the name of Jesus. This vision has been shared by many others who have felt and seen the same thing by the Holy Spirit. In Nashville, TN yesterday over 50,000 people gathered together in a solemn assembly to pray for our nation. This 12 hour marathon of prayer and intercession was like no other event I have been to in my 28 years on earth. There was a sense that we were truly wrestling for the soul of our great country.
The focus was divorcing baal after 40 years of serving him and coming back into marriage covenant with our Lord Jesus. In 67 the “summer of love” began a pagan release in our nation. The twin sins of sexual immorality and baby murder have accompanied the spirit of baal and caused our nation to be placed in position of judgment before Almighty God. We had times of repentance for these sins and in one powerful segment an abortion doctor who has now been saved came to the platform and repented for the sin of abortion in our nation. How powerful!
The grand scope of this event was a true blessing to me and encouraged me on in the quest set before me to bring national revolution to this generation. The stage of yesterday was a reminder to me that God can raise a remnant of people who have not bowed their knee to baal. Elijah thought he was the only one who had not bowed and God said to him you are not the only one I have 7000 others who have not bowed their knees!
I had the privilege of leading in prayer for about a minute or 2 concerning revival in the high schools and junior highs. It was an honor. Many wondered why my part was not more but yesterday was not about me. My time to lead will come but yesterday was a day for prayer and not preaching, fasting and not celebration.
God is on the move and I feel in my spirit that He is calling on me and other leaders to rise up in this day and stand for righteousness. To call the church back to her knees and the world to repentance. This task rises before me and my heart leaps at the challenge. Great will be the battle! Great shall be the harvest! Great shall be the reward!
In due time God will honor you for all your doing in this nation, I truly believe you are a dynamite that wiil trigger a revolution in America! Be encouraged for your labour will not be in vain! Love ya, praying for you and Amy for continual healing in the RIVER!
Brother Joel,
His reward will be great! May there be stadiums full of young people that are alive in worship, focused in prayer and contending for the faith. Thanks for your leadership. It was an honor to connect with you at the Call.
Brother Joel,
God is so awesome in you both! Please know that our prayers are with you for strength, courage and and a steadfast hope that is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and His righteousness. May you both stand complete in Christ and postured in praise in the season of deliverance, healing and promotion! We believe great is your reward for the impact you both have in the lives of our Youth and Leaders! Heaven smiles upon you and we rejoice to know you! You’re both God’s chosen vessels and we love you.
