The last time America had a move of God that was nationwide was over 150 years ago.  Since that time the growing darkness of secularism—founded in Americans gradually believing the lie that we are god, and that the life that has our name attached to it is ours—has brought more and more darkness to us.  It definitely looks like we’re going to destroy ourselves.

Is there any hope for our nation?  There definitely is!  And His Name is Jesus Christ!  But we’ll never make our nation a candidate for His deliverance, until we, as a majority of individuals in this land, surrender these lives completely to Him.  That would bring the awareness of His Presence to us in such a real way that we could hear His voice again.  That would let us work with Him in the revival he wants to give to us.  Perhaps you’re thinking:  “That can’t happen in these last days”, or, “Wrong is too much in control, we can’t turn it back now.”  These are Continue reading →

Jesus had been dead three days.  Some of the women who had followed Him came to His tomb early and had found the stone door rolled away and His body gone!  They had told His disciples, and Peter and John had come to the grave site and seen for themselves that His body was gone.  But now the others had left and only Mary Magdalene remained.  It is here we pick up the story from the book, Why God Birthed America:

“Mary did not want to leave.  She stood there a few steps from the entrance to the grave, trying to sort out all that had happened.  The angels had said He was alive.  Jesus Himself had told them He would come back to life.  But could that really be?

“She moved closer to the entrance.  Questions were flying through her mind.  Could He really be alive again?

“She didn’t know how long she stood there lost in thought.  But as she put her head on the doorway and wept, she was instantly blinded with light!  There they were again!  The two shining creatures they had seen earlier.

“They looked at her with compassion.  ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ they asked.  ‘Because they’ve taken away my Lord and I don’t know where they’ve put Him’, she wailed.

“She turned her head away, having no stamina which could stand up to the questions of celestial beings.  What had happened?  Where was His body?  Her mind was racing, exceeded only by the racing of her heart.

“Blinded by tears, she turned Continue reading →

Ladies and Gentlemen, we continue to see the crucifixion of Jesus as written in the book, Why God Birthed America:

“By now it was noon, and a strange thing begins to happen.  The sky begins to darken with an eerie blackness.  For a few brief moments, the air was so still it seemed to choke you as the darkness deepened.  Then the earth began to tremble.  Lightning bolts were exploding against the ground.

“Then, unexpectedly, the voice of Jesus pierces the darkness.  In a loud, wrenching voice Jesus cries out, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’ (Matthew 27:45-46)

“The level of emotional pain expressed by this outcry was incomprehensible.  All who heard it were arrested by its intensity.  While the light produced by the lightning bolts was short-lived, the pain in His face that they exposed was unforgettable.  His brow was deeply wrinkled.  The blood on his battered face was Continue reading →

Ladies and Gentlemen, we continue the story of Jesus’ death, taken largely from the book Why God Birthed America:

“But trying to ignore the feeling that these nails were going into an innocent Man’s hands, the Roman soldiers continued their bloody work.  Another powerful blow of the mallet forces the spike through Jesus’ crossed feet.  His body contorts and His quivering lips reveal the pain He’s absorbing—yet no sound is heard from His lips save the gasps for air.  His blood is now running onto the ground at a steady rate; the earth soaking up the blood of its Creator.

“Yet in all this word-defying scene of horrendous torture, there is an unmistakable presence of peace surrounding this middle cross.  Though unseen, it is undeniable.  This Man is like no other that has ever hung on a cross.  There is a Presence about Him.  In spite of the cruelty, the ghastly sight of blood, and the stark disregard for human life, dignity pervades this scene!  Something is happening here which defies description.  A transaction is taking place between heaven and earth that will profoundly affect all of history.

“Suddenly, as He looks to heaven, Jesus breaks Continue reading →
