AMERICA - IN REVIVAL AND HEALED!
By Rev. Sharyn Culp

Tragedy has truly struck America! Thousands of people have lost their lives and been hurt as a result of terrorists' attacks upon the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon, here in New York City, here in the United States of America.

As I sought the Holy Spirit for understanding, direction and comfort, He gave me this message which I would like to share with you.

    "WHAT SHALL WE THEN SAY TO THESE THINGS? IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us .Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. NAY, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US. FOR I AM PERSUADED, THAT NEITHER DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS, NOR PRINCIPALITIES, NOR POWERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR THINGS TO COME, NOR HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH, NOR ANY OTHER CREATURE, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD." (Romans 8:31-39)

Isn't it a wonderful encouragement and comfort to know that God loves us and NOTHING can separate us from His love? NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING! We need to spend some time meditating on these scriptures knowing that the past, present and future circumstances do not change the truth of the Word of God. His Majesty loves America and NOTHING can separate us from His love! Alleluia! Praise God! Alleluia!

As Christians we need to understand the Word of God tells us in II Timothy 3:1 that in the last days perilous times shall come.

    "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come; For men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy; unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" (II Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV)

Let's take a look at these scriptures again except this time let's read them from the Living Bible (Paraphrased).

    "You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian.
    For people will love only themselves and their money; they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful to them, and thoroughly bad.
    They will be hardheaded and never give in to others; they will be constant liars and troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at those who try to be good.
    They will betray their friends; they will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God.
    They will go to church, yes, but they won't really believe anything they hear. Don't be taken in by people like that."
    (II Timothy 3:1-5 LB)

Did you identify some of the circumstances you have been seeing in America with what the Word of God says about these perilous times in the last days? Let's name a few of these circumstances we are seeing in America with what the Word of God says will be happening in the last days. I want you to understand, I am not writing any of these things I am writing judgmentally. I am writing them as having factually happened in America.

We have seen the sin of selfishness manifested with the motivational attitudes of what's in it for me being the reason for doing or saying something. The heart's question of if there is nothing in it for me, why would I want to put forth an effort or become involved is many times the first and foremost consideration given before participating or becoming involved in word or deed. The idolatry of making a dollar has significantly affected our homes and workplaces as well as our nation has it not? How about the gain of power and recognition? Sometimes, unfortunately I am sad to say, these sins have resulted in the cost of another person's life and perhaps the person's family and business. These attitudes are driven by selfishness and by the love of money . . . the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and pride of life.

    "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father but is of the world." (I John 2:15-16)

In America, we have seen the increase of abortions of our babies, the increase in drug use, many mothers have killed their children, many fathers and husbands have killed their wives and children, many young people and adults have been killed in school; many children have been found locked up and have been abused physically, emotionally, and sexually, institutions have been filled with mentally and emotionally anxiety-ridden and damaged people, the divorce rate has increased significantly and many children have increased in their rebellious actions towards their parents. Yes, this list could go on and on . . . however, what I have come to tell you is that I believe AMERICA has turned to a new page. I believe America is healed and is in revival, Friend, and as I am looking through the eyes of faith and with the spirit of faith, I am speaking to you and decreeing America is in REVIVAL AND HEALED! Amen! Amen! Amen!

You say you see America healed and in revival now in this time of disaster and tragedy? With thousands having lost their loves as a result of these terrorists' attacks? With all those in hospitals suffering from injuries received as a result of these attacks? With all the grieving, brokenhearted suffering over the loss of loved ones who have been injured and/or killed?

Yes, I still believe and say with the spirit of faith "AMERICA IS IN REVIVAL AND HEALED!!!"

Why am I saying America is in revival and healed? Because I believe with all my heart that blessing comes through obedience to the Word of God and I believe Americans are lining themselves and this country up with the Word of God for revival and healing.

Let me share with you some reasons I believe America is in revival and healed:

1) Prayer has become a priority in America! Alleluia! Americans are humbling themselves and praying and seeking God's face -America is returning to God! -- A reason I believe America is in revival and healed.

    "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (II Chronicles 7:14)

All across America and in many countries across the world this scripture is coming to pass as God's people are humbling themselves and praying and seeking His face. I believe God is hearing from heaven, forgiving our sin and healing our land.

2) People are not only humbling themselves, praying and seeking God's face, but I believe there is repentance in the hearts of Americans and in hearts in many parts of the world. I believe there has been repentance for the sins of America and a crying out to Almighty God for forgiveness and mercy upon us and upon our land. - Another reason I believe America is in revival and healed.

If you study about the great revivals prior to this time, men and women prayed and prayed and prayed and sought God day and night for many months and years and gave Him first place in their lives, repenting of evil. We are seeing men and women praying and praying and praying and seeking God day and night and giving Him first place in their lives, repenting of evil.

3) We are praying for our leaders in obedience to the Word of God - Another reason I believe America is in revival and healed.

    "I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
    or kings, and for all that are in authority; that we lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
    For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior."
    (I Timothy 2:1-3)

    "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
    and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him."
    (I John 5:14-15)

We KNOW we are praying correctly according to God's will, which is His Word, because the Word of God has instructed us to pray for our leaders.

Praise God for a Christian President and others in positions of leadership in America who are Christians!

God has heard and is hearing our prayers!!! Alleluia! Praise God! Alleluia!

4) Americans are unifying -Another reason I believe America is in revival and healed.

    "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1)

    "Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:3)

    "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." (Ephesians 4:13)

How it blesses the heart of His Majesty to see Americans unified as well as those around the world who have joined us. How His Majesty longs to give America His most bountiful blessings He has reserved for us when we walk in unity.

In the past few days we have seen many denominational walls as well as racial walls come down here in America. Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! People of many faiths have prayed and sought God in America and on America's behalf. Praise God!

5) Americans are forgiving God, each other and themselves. - Another reason I believe America is in revival and healed.

Yes, I understand there are still many who are harboring grudges and anger because of these attacks. Some are mad at God, some are mad at the terrorists, some are just hurt and angry. These persons may not have all their emotions sorted as to why they feel the way they do right now. Let's be patient with these people and give them time to heal and work through their pain. We must understand the real ENEMY behind these attacks is SATAN himself and we as Christians need to remind others and ourselves of this fact at the right times.

    "Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
    Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
    Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
    Love never fails."
    (I Corinthians 13:4-8a)

It is our responsibility as Christians to keep planting seeds of love in word and deed to those we come into contact with as well as our family members. Give prayer time to work. These things take time. We need to keep the thermometer of love at an all time high to diffuse Satan's plans against America. Amen! The Lord is healing America! He will not fail us!

    "He healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3)

    "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15)

God knows right where each and every one of us is in our healing process. There is nothing that we can feel that Jesus Christ has not already felt the pain of and died for. Give His Majesty your unforgiveness, give His Majesty your anger, give His Majesty your pain.

6) Americans are reaching out in love to one another with emotional support, financial support, shelter, food, medical aid, as well as other necessary daily needs.-Another reason I believe America is in revival and healed!

    "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
    Naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
    then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? Or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
    When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
    Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
    And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
    (Matthew 25:35-40)

As Americans reach out to one another helping OTHERS in their time of need they themselves will find healing. Have you noticed when you do something for someone else you feel better? God gave us to one another as a GIFT. It is in loving and giving to others that we forget about ourselves and our own hurts and needs. We receive healing in the giving process. After all God created every American and every resource in America. Let's find someone to help today! Praise God! Alleluia!

7) Americans are putting their eyes on God and putting their faith and trust in Him - Knowing He and He alone is America's hope. -- Another reason I believe America is in revival and healed.

    "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
    My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
    He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
    Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
    The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
    the sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
    the Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
    The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore."
    (Psalm 121:1)

Praise God! Alleluia!

Christian, did you know your citizenship is really in heaven? Do you know that you are really a traveler just passing through earth's journey?

    "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God." (Ephesians 2:19)

As a child of the Most High God, a King's Kid, you are really seated with Christ in the heavenlies as far as your permanent home.

    "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ;" (Ephesians 1:3)

Do you know you have an Intercessor? Did you know that Someone is praying for you and taking your needs to the throne room of God? Its true, you do have an Intercessor and He is taking your needs to the throne room of God.

    "Wherefore he (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25)

Did you know that one day soon Jesus is going to come and rapture the church from the earth? . . . in other words, we are going to be out of here! Did you know that there is going to be a great meeting in the air? Jesus IS coming and Jesus is going to rapture the church!

    "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
    For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
    For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
    For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
    then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
    Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
    (I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

Right now, I decree I am believing God for the salvation of every American and every person reading this message. I am believing for you, my friend, to make this great meeting in the air with HIS MAJESTY and with us.

Friend, if you have never made the all important decision to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, we would like to give you that opportunity now. His Majesty would like for you to spend eternity with Him. Would you pray this prayer as we pray with you? "Lord Jesus, I know you love me. I am a sinner and I need a Savior. I repent of my sins and ask you to forgive me and come into my heart as my Savior and Lord. I confess with my mouth you are Lord, Jesus and believe in my heart God has raised you from the dead. Thank you for shedding your blood for me at Calvary and saving me. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen."

Rejoice now! You are a child of His Majesty and you have a new start in life! Welcome to the family of God!

I decree on behalf of His Majesty's kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven, America is in revival and healed through the Word of God and the personality of the Holy Spirit and remind you His Majesty loves AMERICA and YOU!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!
