           A Word For the United States Of America

America, America, oh how I desire to bless you!  There was a time when 
you, as a nation, bore My name and honored Me in all you did.  But the 
enemy has come in with much corruption and deception and has turned many 
from the paths of righteousness.  He has risen up against you with cries 
of judgment and condemnation.  He stands before My throne, at times, 
crying out to Me that I destroy you as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

It is not My heart to destroy you; no, it is not.  My heart is to restore 
you -- but you must be willing and you must cooperate with Me in the 
process. You must turn to Me and yield to My Spirit as I begin to sweep 
through your nation once again.  I am not calling to the unrighteous 
at this time, but to those who call themselves by My name.  Children, 
respond to Me.  Humble yourselves before Me and lay aside the great 
knowledge that you claim you have -- and learn of Me. Learn My ways and 
walk in them.  Learn what it is to be in intimacy with Me, to give Me a 
priority of your time.  Learn what it is to walk in holiness and purity.  
Learn what it is to speak words of life and blessing instead of words of 
grumbling or complaining or cursing.

It is My heart and My desire to restore this nation to once again be a
nation that is called by My name and that brings glory to Me.  I desire
to unleash great power and great authority in My church. I desire that
My people lay aside the snares of the world and wholeheartedly embrace 
My ways.  I desire that My people become a healing balm for their nation.
It is not My heart and My desire that so many die of AIDS and of cancer.
I want to raise up a church that walks in My power and love, that this
church might bring healing to their nation.  I want to release such
supernatural power and healing that those who are sick will flock to My 
people to be healed.  I want to release a righteous freedom and liberty, 
that will break off the bondages and oppressions of the enemy over those 
who do not yet know Me.  I want to turn the lost within your borders to 
Myself and release great revival in your midst.  

I am calling the lost to Myself within your nation.  Already you have seen
My Spirit stirring among them, startling even the secular news media with
their desire to return to family values.  Do you not recognize what that
is? That is My Spirit moving on the people of this nation, stirring their
hearts and causing them to yearn for My righteousness.  I have already
stirred Myself on your behalf.  Now, My people, I ask you to rise up
in response to what My Spirit is doing.  Join Me, My children, in reaching
your nation.  

Cleanse your garments and rend your hearts and respond to Me.  As you run
to Me, I will not turn you away and I will not reject you.  No child, I 
will respond to you and draw you even closer. It is time to put aside the
distractions that keep you from Me.  Seek Me and you will surely find Me -- 
and not only you My children, but your whole nation.  For if My people who 
are called by My name will seek Me with their whole heart then I will 
restore their nation. I will cause holiness and godly values to rise up in 
all sectors of your land, even among the lost.  And I will cause the 
healing flow of My love to come forth from My own as a sweet fragrance 
that will reach those who do not yet know Me.

No, America, I do not speak words of death over you at this time. I speak
words of life and release, words of healing and restoration.  Respond to 
Me, America, that I might do what I desire in your midst.  I desire to
once again cover you with My wings and place My protection back over you.
I desire to cause you to rise up as a great nation in Me.  You have written 
on your currency "In God We Trust" -- and I desire to restore that trust.
I desire to restore faith in your land.  I desire to do great things in 
your midst. I desire to heal your economy and I desire to bring My glory 
to your shores.  I desire to make you great in Me, that you might bring 
glory to My name.

And America, I will do all these things for you if only My people will
seek Me with their whole hearts, commit to obey Me and walk in My ways.
Turn back to Me, My children of this nation, with your whole heart. Then
I will turn to you with My whole heart and rise up on behalf of your
nation to restore it, to heal its people and to bring life and revival
to your land.  

So respond to Me now, My children, and honor Me in all you do.  My plans
for you are good and they are life.  So turn from your own ways and
embrace them.  Then I will bless you as a people and I will bless your
nation for your sake. And I will bring My glory once again to your land.
