Role & State of the Church?
The Situation • 2010: A Defining Year • America A Decision to Make • Why? • Why Judgment? • State of America • Role & State of the Church • Days of Wonder & Dread Ahead

The Situation is Critical. See WHY here.
How did America get to this point?
To understand that, lets take a brief look at today’s Church.

THE CHURCH
The condition of our Nation we believe is a direct reflection of the Church.

Why has today's Church not truly influenced the Culture and brought Reformation?
We believe there are two main reasons.

1. The Influence of the World on the Church. The culture has influenced and infiltrated the Church, more than the Church has influenced the culture.The Church is supposed to be Salt and Light. We are called to influence the world, not them influence us!

2. Sin & Disobedience. The Pulpits & the Pews.
Looking at the Biblical accounts throughout God’s Word we see when God's people experienced defeat and became prey to the enemy, it was almost always linked to unrepentant sin, compromise and disobedience. You will see many examples and accounts of this in God's Word. Whenever the priests were in sin, it caused the whole lump (all of Israel - a type and shadow of the Church) to be defiled and suffer punishment at the hands of their enemies.

It Must Begin with the Church Leaders
This is why we believe it is critical to follow God's plans and instructions to first to call the leaders in His house first to a place of repentance and consecration. We cannot move forward with God's power and blessings to take our land (America) unless this is done. This will be a time of internal investigation in His House by the Holy Spirit.

Repentance in leadership and in the pulpits is a key element of this plan. See 3 keys for change.

We Must Clean & Reform OUR House First!
We can pray for our Nation to change all day long, but if the leaders in God’s House, God’s people, are living in unrepentant sin, we will not be able to change the Nation. We need to clean and reform our own house first!, Judgment must begin first in the house of God. Then we can be salt and light, and we can influence our culture, rather than the culture influencing us. See Charles Finney’s message,  the “Pulpits Are Responsible.”

State & Condition of The Church
Yes, there are a Remnant of Churches, where people are hungry for God, living pure before Him, and pursuing Him, but, if we are honest, overall the Church is in desperate need of a Great Awakening. If you look at the Church, many are in a backslidden and complacent state, with sin and compromise abounding at every level, from the Pulpit, to the Pew.

• Backslidden State & Complacent
• Sin & Compromise abounds
• Exchanged Her Glory for a Lie
• Lost Her Identity & Confused (forgotten who She is and why She's here)
• Weak, defeated, & prey to the enemy
• Lovers of Pleasures more than lovers of God
• Stained, Defiled, & being Mocked by the world.

Glorious Church – Shining Bright!
God is preparing to visit His house with the fire of His Spirit, to cleanse, purify, and make His Church ready to Stand Up Victorious and Glorious in the Earth, shining bright! See The Great Visitation.

Days of Wonder, Days of Dread... The stage is being set in the earth, for the Church to Rise up and be Glorious! “Days of Wonder and Days of Dread, these are the days that lie ahead...” as the prophecy unfolded, God communicated the importance of His Church being ready to Rise Up – that in the midst of the darkness She is going to be a great light. This lines up with Isaiah 60 – “Arise Shine...” which I believe is the Call to the Church right now. “Arise, shine! For your light has come. for the glory of the LORD is risen upon you! Darkness shall cover the earth...Gross darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1-2 Darkness, Calamity and Chaos are coming on the Earth, and this will be time for the Church to Rise Up Glorious and Shine brightly!

HOW?
How can the Church become Glorious and Shine Bright?
How can America avoid severe judgment and begin the restoration process?

Repentance & Prayer is the only way.
Repentance Must Begin...
It must begin with the Church (2 Chronicles 7:14)
1. The Leaders, the Shepherds (the Pulpits), they affect the Whole Church.
2, The Church, the Sheep (the Pews).
We need to help Lead this Nation!
We need to be God’s Voice to this Nation!
3. The Nation (the Multitudes)

A National Call for Repentance – from the Pulpits, to the Pew, and then to the Multitudes!

Window of Opportunity
Right now God has given the Church and America a Window of Opportunity.
A short span of time – 2010.

What can the Church do?
How can America hear God’s Voice?
How can we turn America back to Him?
Where do we start?

We believe God has a Plan and a Strategy for America to hear God’s cry, and to turn back to Him.
We call it “PRAY, AMERICA! PRAY!”

“I believe we are facing a window of opportunity for repentance...Unless the pastors wake up to avert judgment, there will be judgment on America. If we don’t respond we are going to lose this nation.” – Pastor Larry Stockstill (early 2008 after a vision)

 

 

 

Genuine Repentance: From the Pulpit... To the Pew... Then to the Multitudes "He who covers his sins will not prosper: but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13
