               Cities of America -- My Grace is Upon You


" It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His 
compassions fail not..." (Lamentations 3:22).

Cities of America My grace is upon you. I have seen your torment and I have 
seen your pain. I have seen the smoke of your suffering and as a remembrance 
it has come up before Me. For the measure of pain that you have endured, I 
will pour out blessing. Your crops shall prosper and your water supply will 
not run dry. I will increase your territory and your land will bring forth 
its fruit. I will put to shame the prophets of doom who only see the evil in 
the land and not the good. They are like the ones in the wilderness who 
complained and murmured. They are never satisfied though I feed the well. 
They see images of judgment and wrath, when I have shown them a way of 
escape. I will make a way of escape says the Lord, I will make a way of 
escape.

I say to you cities of America. My light will be seen upon you. I will 
extend your influence into the nations. Many will come to you for salvation. 
Where sin has abounded, My grace will much more abound in this hour. To 
those forgiven little they love little. I will show you America the height 
and the width, the depth and length of My love. I will sound out the deep of 
My love for you in this hour. Let no man despise your youth. I will renew 
your strength America. I will renew your strength and you will rise up on 
wings like an eagle. You will run and not be weary, walk and not faint. I 
will show you My face. When others prophesy your demise, around your borders 
the glory of the Lord shall arise. Psalm 91 will be your song in the night 
America. Psalm 91 shall be your song.

" It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His 
compassions fail not..." (Lamentations 3:22).

Cities of America the hour of your greatest grace is upon you. You will see 
My face in the storm clouds that are over you. You will hear My voice in the 
waves that surround you. You will see Me walking on the waters. In the 
shadow of death I will be there. Though you pass under My shepherd's rod I 
will comfort you. In the presence of your enemies I will sit with you. I 
will calm the storm and lead you beside still waters. And I would say to you 
cities of America:

CHICAGO
-------

I say to you Chicago, you will burn with My holy fire. You will be a city 
upon a hill that cannot be hid. I will impact your underground and your 
mafia families. I will take the orphans of the streets and make them 
citizens of Heaven. The seeds D.L. Moody planted deep in your heart Chicago, 
will now spring forth into revival fruit. Their labor was not in vain. I 
will protect your borders and strengthen your tent stakes. I will bring the 
former and latter rain.

ST. LOUIS
---------

St. Louis I will loose My Spirit upon you. A great wealth will be 
distributed to you for outreach and charity. Many ministries and churches 
shall prosper within your borders. You shall become a base of operation 
for world missions. From the fertile ground of your soil will come revival 
to the uttermost parts of the earth. You will be a model of inter-racial 
unity.  From that position I will command a blessing. I will command a 
blessing.

NEW ORLEANS
-----------

City of the South, in this hour I will excavate the gold of revival in you. 
I will find the treasures hidden in the fields of your city and draw them 
out of darkness. New Orleans you will be My crown in this hour. The jewels 
that will adorn it will be the souls of your children. I say this to you New 
Orleans, come together as one, lay down your agendas for the Son, so this 
great work can be done. So My great work can be done.

PORTLAND
--------

I will pour out My power on Portland. She will taste the goodness of the 
Lord in this hour. You will be a crossroads of revival. Many will come from 
the four corners of the earth to you. They will feed from the banquet table 
of revival that I will set in your midst. I will set a table for you in the 
midst of your enemies and many shall be converted. Many shall be converted.

SEATTLE
-------

A season is changing in Seattle. You have had your winter, summer will now 
come upon you. A time of great harvest and reaping. I will touch your 
business sector with My glory. I will turn the hearts of the wealthy to the 
heart of the Father. Like the kings at the manger they will come with their 
gold and lay it at My feet. They will seek first the Kingdom of God and I 
will set them free.

MIAMI
-----

Miami, there is a fire in you. What if it is already kindled? I am blowing 
on your borders, I am blowing on your borders. I am stoking the coals of 
revival in you. It will start on your streets, your housing projects and 
poverty stricken areas. Watch and see Miami, watch and see.

WASHINGTON D.C.
---------------

The barriers between black and white are being pulled down in this hour. The 
walls of prejudice between North and South are coming down. I will give you 
a united front Washington D.C. As you look to Me I will set your captives 
free. I will give you the grace to continue in My liberty. From you will 
echo the sounds of revival. From you laws and legislation shall reflect 
righteousness and My heart says the Lord. From you the oil of unity will 
flow. The oil of unity will flow. Psalm 133 Washington D.C., Psalm 133.

SAN FRANCISCO
-------------

I will blow upon San Francisco. Until every soul knows, I am Lord. I am 
moving upon Polk Street. I will draw the deceived to Me. I will open their 
hearts like I opened the grave of Lazarus. And though they stink in their 
sin, I will bring them in, to sit at My feet. They will wash my feet with 
their tears, and dry it with their hair. Your time is near San Francisco. 
The time of your visitation is near.

PHOENIX
-------

Phoenix you will rise from the desert in this hour. The day of your 
deliverance is at hand. I will cause your children to stand. I will empower 
you to possess the land. You will be My South-West base of revival 
operations says the Lord, from your camp will come My orders and commands. 
An apostolic headquarters and command post.

ALBUQUERQUE
-----------

You will be a place of strategy and war counsel. I will open your eyes to 
the greater host that surrounds this country. More are with you than against 
you America. More are with you than against you. There is prophetic river in 
Albuquerque, it will bring life to the deserted places and fill the valleys 
with My glory. You will see Me Albuquerque. You will see Me.

MINNEAPOLIS
-----------

Minneapolis is my Northern command post and base of revival operations. From 
this place they will network and inter-connect My church. They will move in 
a creative flow that produces wealth for My kingdom. They will be called 
enablers and a repairer says the Lord, enablers and repairers of the breach.

ATLANTA
-------

You are at a crossroads Atlanta. Now is the time you must cast your nets on 
the other side. You must begin to take risks with that which I have given 
you. If you dare to stand with your brother in this hour you will take in a 
great catch. You will take in a great catch.

BOISE
-----

I will breath upon the dry bones of Boise. In this treasure valley are many 
bones. The ashes of past defeats. But from these ashes an army will rise to 
their feet. A prophetic song will come from Boise that will shake the 
nations. From this place a great light will shine. A great light will shine. 
Boise you are Mine.

SALT LAKE CITY
--------------

I am about to surprise Salt Lake. The wide valley of decision will fill up 
with My glory. Millions in the valley of decision says the Lord, millions in 
the valley of decisions. Now many will begin to decide. They will choose 
this day to serve the Lord. Many will be on the Lord’s side, many will be on 
the Lord’s side.

ANCHORAGE
---------

My anchor of hope is in Alaska. In this hour the country will look to you 
four solace and supply. You will be a bright light in the midnight sky. Many 
will come to your borders to feed, many will come to your city to sit at My 
feet. The ancient prophecies over you are about to come to pass, they are 
about to come to pass.

DENVER
------

You have tasted tragedy, now you will taste My glory. I will pour out My 
Spirit upon your sons and daughters and they will prophecy. From your 
borders will come a song of deliverance. Many will see it and be glad. My 
authority will shift to you in this hour. My government authority shall rest 
upon you.

NEW YORK CITY
-------------

A great light has been seen. A great light of intercession. New York you 
will become the intercession capitol of the world. From you the greatest 
move of intercession the earth has ever witnessed will come. Not just for a 
moment, but for years to come. The light of your intercession will open the 
doors of salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth. From your borders an 
army of intercessors shall march. An army of intercessors shall march.

PITTSBURGH
----------

The historical cry of revival in you will be sounded out again. The healing 
waters will flow from you in this hour. The rivers of living water will 
begin to flood the land. The icebergs of indifference that have immobilized 
you I will now melt. The curses of poverty I will break and the My blessings 
shall overtake you. My blessings will overtake you.

PHILADELPHIA
-------------

"I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man 
can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and 
hast not denied my name. (Rev 3:8). I will pour out My strength to you in 
this hour. You will be able to do all things in My strength. I will 
strengthen your commerce and trade. I will restore what the locusts have 
devoured. I will remove the plague of unemployment and your people shall 
prosper. Your people shall prosper.

DETROIT
-------

I have led you with a pillar of fire by night and of smoke by day. I have 
given you a prophetic voice to the nations. I will give the heathen as an 
inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth as a possession. I am 
building a bridge of intercession from you Detroit to the nations of the 
earth. They will see it and be glad, they will see it and be glad.

MEMPHIS
-------

I will open up the fountains of the deep of creativity in you. A prophetic 
river will flow from you that will influence a generation. The darkened 
faces of the youth will shine when they hear the song that comes from you. 
The mountains and the trees will clap their hands. The fields will be glad. 
I will outshine the glory of Elvis and raise up a thousand more that will 
offer up their bodies as a living sacrifice.

ORLANDO
-------

I have heard the cries of your children, I have seen the oppression of those 
left for dead. Many have crossed to the other side of the way and left you 
there to lay. But I have heard the cries of your children from the streets. 
There is where you and I will meet. Not in the pillared places and terraced 
temples, but in the streets. From the lowest place I will pour out My grace. 
The low places high and the high places low. From those places will My glory 
flow. From the low places will my glory flow Orlando.

MILWAUKEE
---------

Milwaukee I have not forgotten you. I remember the promises I made to you in 
your youth. I remember those days of your beginnings. We were in love, we 
walked together as friends. I have not forgotten the covenant that we made. 
Now is the time of redemption for you, restoration and reconciliation. I 
will restore what has been devoured and revive that which is dead. The dry 
bones of hope deferred will have life again. They will stand, they will 
stand.

HOUSTON
-------

I hear a wind in Houston, a rushing mighty wind. In the desert a river is 
coming. A river of life where all the creatures of the earth dwell. I will 
redeem the faded gold and restore the glory of old. I will remember the 
waste places and make whole the broken bones. I will repair the breach and 
pour out My glory in your streets. I will give sight to your blind and set 
the captives free. A shaking is coming Houston, first in the natural and 
then the spiritual. Boldness shall shake My church and salvation your city.

INDIANAPOLIS
------------

You will be a focal point of revival, an epi-center of My glory. Many will 
tell the story of what I have done in you. You will be place of racial 
reconciliation. I have given you power to pray for those in authority and 
high places. Pray for governments and those in high standing. You will see 
them saved. You will see them saved.

CINCINNATI
----------

Harvest in the heartland says the Lord. Harvest in the heartland. I will 
pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophecy 
Cincinnati. From your youth will come a well of life. From your city a river 
will flow. I bring to light the things that are hidden. I will reveal the 
dark secrets of the wise. Witty inventions and innovations will come from 
you. Your businesses will be blessed.

CLEVELAND
---------

I have created a clean heart in you Cleveland. I have renewed a right spirit 
within you. I have restored to you the joy of your salvation. Though you 
have seen darkness My glory will arise and shine upon you. Kings will come 
to the brightness of your rising and the lost to My glory shining. They will 
see it from afar off and come. They will see it from afar off and come. 
Medical breakthroughs will come through you. An anointing for healing will 
be your crown.

BOSTON
------

I am unearthing the foundational stones of revival in you. The prayers of 
your forefathers have come up as a remembrance before Me. My fire is about 
to be poured out on you as in the day of Pentecost. This fire will be 
kindled in you and sweep the nation in revival. I have seen the faces of 
your enemies and I laughed. I laugh at your enemies says the Lord. I laugh 
at your enemies. I will break their teeth and bind them in fetters. I will 
arrest them with My justice and capture them with My judgment.

BALTIMORE
---------

You have run with footmen, now you will run with the horses. I will give you 
hind’s feet to go even higher. Revelations 4:1 is what I say to you 
Baltimore. “A door was opened in Heaven and the first voice which I heard as 
it was a trumpet taking to me which said, COME UP HERE, AND I WILL SHOW YOU 
THINGS WHICH MUST SOON COME TO PASS.”

SAN DIEGO
---------

San Diego, you are the southern point of defense for My church. You are a 
gatekeeper and a doorkeeper. I have set you on a high place. You will view 
the nations and pray. You will look to the South and intercede. You will 
look to the North and stand in the gap. The heavens are opened to you, I 
will give My angels charge over you to keep you in your coming and going. 
For I am able to keep you from falling.

LITTLE ROCK
-----------

Upon this rock I will build My church and the gates of hell will not 
prevail against it. I have seen your bedrock Little Rock and I said, "It 
is good." I will begin now to redeem what the wolves have devoured, wolves 
in sheep's clothing. I will give you eyes to see the angel's of light. I 
will give you the grace to fight the good fight. You will stand in My power 
and might.  From the ashes of controversy you will arise. You will arise.

NASHVILLE
---------

You are My prodigal son Nashville. You took your inheritance and ran. But I 
have waited for you Nashville, the day of your returning is here. The day of 
your return has come. I have for you a coat of many colors, colors of 
creativity and longevity. Colors of passion and harvest. I have for you 
Nashville a ring of My authority. My signet ring and glory. I will give you 
shoes for you feet. Shoes of preparation for the gospel. How beautiful 
Nashville are the feet of those preach the gospel.

TACOMA
------

The seeds of revival that have laid dormant are about to spring up. You have 
tasted the first rain, but now you will see the former and latter together. 
No longer will it be a sound of an abundance, but a torrent of My glory will 
come upon you. The rich man will stand beside the homeless man in this 
revival. They will have all things common. My people will have things 
common.

MANCHESTER
----------

New England, I have new orders for you. It has been a time of waiting and 
anticipating, but now I am going to fulfill the very things you have only 
dreamed. You have been like Joseph in the pit seeing these things from afar 
off. Now they will be within reach. Lift you your eyes New England! The 
harvest is white and the fruit is ripe, it is time to reap! It is time to 
reap! I am re-digging the wells of revival in this ancient area. I am 
re-digging the wells.

"For the Lord will not cast off for ever: But though he cause grief, yet 
will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he 
doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men..." (Lamentations 
3:31-33)
