The Vision: Part I

    "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak and it will not lie, though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Habakkuk 2:2,3

    Habakkuk saw the world in his time to be evil, perverted and filled with wickedness in need of a revival! Injustice and evil gain abounded as well as bloodshed and lawlessness as it does today in our modern-day society who have gone stark raving mad, filled with darkness and depravity!

    America, once a revival center and possessor of the gospel of Christ to the world has become an ungodly nation filled with every kind of evil and perversion! Where lawlessness abounds and all sorts of perversion is counted as normal! Homosexuals, pedophiles as well as transgenders who once hid in darkness are now in the light of day and welcomed into society!

    Millions of innocent unborn children have been murdered on our watch making America worse than Hitler's regime. Ripping their little arms and legs off, crushing their little heads or poisoning them is so much worse than anything we would subject a condemned criminal to. These murderers now demand to kill a child after he is born if they decide they don't want him! To be Pro-life in this country is now becoming dangerous with the government accusing us of being terrorists!

    I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart and watch to see what He will say to me. Habakkuk 2:1

SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD!

    For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:18

    Although God is love, filled with mercy, grace and forgiveness, He is also the same God who created eternal damnation in Hell! Eternal punishment was never meant for mankind but for the devil and his angels, but man rebelled against God just as Satan did and was destined to end up in the Lake of Fire!

    Jonathan Edwards, a fiery young evangelist preached the Message, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" in the 1700's that brought about a deep conviction and repentance to those who heard it! His Message was based on Deuteronomy 32:35 Their foot shall slide in due time, meaning that walking in sin would cause them to slide into Hell!

    The Message brought such anxiousness and conviction of heart that people would grab the supports that held the roof for fear of sliding into Hell! The awesome fear of God broughtabout a great revival where many were saved and this is what America needs, to be convicted of their sins and repent of their evil deeds!

    "And then the Lord Jesus will say to those on His left hand, "Depart from Me you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels." Matthew 25:41

REVIVE YOUR WORK O LORD

    O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O Lord revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2

    America has not had any substantial revivals in the past twenty years, and it is dry and dusty in the land with a lack of spiritual activity! When was the last time you saw someone gloriously saved and transformed into a new creation?

    Many churches, instead of preaching the gospel have turned to musical events, drama and even comedy trying to keep their sanctuaries full of tithers to pay their overhead. In 42 years, I have only experienced two revivals, one in Indiana where the power of God saved, healed and delivered many and Florida where many signs and wonders took place, but both have since faded into mediocrity.

    The body of Christ desperately needs to be revived, lying in state on Sunday in their beautiful stained-glass mausoleums, gasping for the breath of the Holy Spirit to descendupon them and raise them up! Unless God's people begin to pray and ask for Him to revive them and repent for this land to be restored, I am afraid it will be too late!

    For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite (repentant) and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15
