THE ROOT REVIVAL

NOTICE: To all Christians who are ready to fight for this nation.

“Revival begins when Christians go back to how they were when they first were born again. They were excited enough to tell their neighbors and family about Jesus,” proclaimed Charles G. Finney, a minister who has been called "The Father of Modern Revivalism"(1.) (1792-1875.) He also stated, "A revival may be expected when Christians have a spirit of prayer for a revival. That is, when they pray as if their hearts were set upon it."

THE FIRST LANDING

In 1607, after 4 months at sea, a small group of Christian believers landed at Cape Henry, which is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. They placed a large wooden cross on the beach and dedicated Virginia and America (the new world) to the Lord Jesus Christ. As British citizens, they also dedicated this new land to the King of England. This group did not settle at that location but sailed on up the James River a few miles and settled at Jamestown, Virginia. Cape Henry is located on the south entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and this location has always been prominent to our country and its freedom. In 1781, the final battle of the American Revolutionary War was won in nearby Yorktown when the French Navy came to the aide of General George Washington and defeated the British Navy. General Cornwallis, under siege and desperate for supplies, was eventually forced to surrender which ended the Revolutionary War. This navy battle took place in the mouth of the Chesapeake in front of Cape Henry.

ROOT REVIVAL

Sandee, my wife of 44 years, and I were in this area for the past 11 months. We visited the Jamestown settlement, the Yorktown battlefields, several Civil War Battle sites and major things pertaining to our heritage in Washington D.C. This winter we rented a house right on the ocean. We were able to spend much time in prayer over the last 4 months. As a result, the Lord has shown us much. One day as I walked and prayed I heard the Lord speak to me about revival of our nation.

I heard Him say, “Call it the “root revival” because it will start at the root of our nation where it all began and will sweep this nation for Jesus.“

On May 1, 2009, Sandee and I visited the site of the First Landing, which is now inside the confines of Fort Story. We climbed the old lighthouse, which was the first building ever built by the Federal Government of the United States. From the observation deck overlooking the cross and the beach, I prophesied the following:

“I declare Jesus Christ as Lord over this nation. I rebuke you Satan and all your forces of darkness and serve notice that we are driving you out with the Word of God and in the name of Jesus. I bind those demon forces and refuse their further penetration into our land. I command them to leave all areas of our nation, including government, politics, education, business, religion, homes; all areas! I close all portals of entry to spirits of darkness and post the ministering spirits (angels) to stand guard."

As Sandee and I stood praying, we observed a U.S. Navy battleship sitting a few hundred yards away as if guarding the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. I called upon God to send multitudes of angels to guard the entrance to this nation much like the battleship was doing. I further declared that as I set my foot on the beach below, it would trigger the “ROOT REVIVAL." I felt a definite anointing of the Holy Spirit as I spoke and prayed with Sandee. When my foot hit the sand I declared the “ROOT REVIVAL" had its' beginning, would now sweep this nation for Jesus and it would not cease until the harvest was complete.

NATION IN PERIL

Our nation is in great peril with attacks coming through numerous portals. Our president has prophesied an end to America as a Christian nation. Perverse sexual activists seem to have voices louder than the “church.” Anyone protesting abortion or professing Jesus is considered an extreme right-wing terrorist. Satan has tried to make American Christians look silly, obsolete, retarded, out of touch and people with mental glitches.

I believe that Christians everywhere are sensing something new and powerful is upon us. I am finding it easier than ever to witness to people. Everywhere we go Christians are open to prayer and encouragement. If you want us to pray for you, email us your situation.

TIME TO FIGHT

Sandee and I are full of fight. It is time to FIGHT. The Bible says we are laborers together with God. (1 Co 3: 9) On April 15, 2009 Sandee believes that there was a great release of the anointing on many Christians.

Lets go get’em and turn this nation around.
