The Judas Kiss Revealed: A Deeper Dive into Betrayal and Power at Gethsemane

Why America is the Mission Field of Our Time According to Dutch Sheets

Update The Urgent Call for Revival in America In our journey through the spiritual landscape of America, the video "I Must Have America" serves as a clarion call for every believer invested in the future of this nation. The narrative highlights the extraordinary witness of Dutch Sheets, who recounts how God redirected his life from foreign missions to a greater mission field—America itself. It's a point of realization that many have yet to grasp: while we often look abroad to serve, our own homeland is in desperate need of intercession and revival.In "I Must Have America," the discussion dives into the urgent call for revival in the U.S., exploring key insights that encourage deeper reflection on our role within God's larger mission. A Shift in Perspective: America's Mission Field Think back to the time when missions were primarily viewed through the lens of traveling overseas to help those considered 'less fortunate.' Dutch Sheets emphasizes how, over time, it became apparent that America was spiraling spiritually, needing believers to focus on discipleship within its borders. This awakening realization is crucial as it transforms how we approach our faith and mission. Instead of viewing our nation as spiritually satiated, we recognize the deep famine for the true gospel and discipleship. Lessons from the Past: A Call to Action The historical movements of the 1980s and 1990s within Christianity, marked by vibrant revivals, inadvertently led many to assume success simply equated to growth in numbers without true conversion. This is what Sheets refers to when he mentions the false sense of success in mega-churches. Identifying this critical difference is vital in understanding the present-day state of the church and allows us to recalibrate our prayer and outreach efforts accordingly. Understanding Our Role in a Global Context As Sheets rightly points out, revival in America is intricately tied to the revival in the rest of the world. When we pray for America, we are directly contributing to a chain reaction that sends ripples across the globe. Our efforts here do not just benefit us; they strengthen our position as we aim to bless the nations. As Abraham was told, blessings are not merely for our enjoyment but for sharing with others. Why America Matters in the Kingdom's Agenda The call to pray for America speaks to more than just a national restoration; it invokes God’s desire for America to fulfill its destiny as a beacon to the world. Dutch Sheets affirms this when he echoes God’s longing for America, stating, "I must have America." This is not simply a rhetorical flourish but a profound truth about America’s role within God's broader plan of salvation for all nations. The Power of Prayer: Your Role in the Harvest As believers, prayer is our tool for initiating change. Sheets emphasizes that amid the trials America faces, the power of prayer remains unshakeable. Each prayer we lift serves as both a plea for intervention and an invitation for God to work miraculously. Whether through lifting up leaders, voting for righteousness, or engaging with our community, every believer has a role to play in this moment. Conclusion: The Call to Neighboring Nations Revival will not come merely by waiting but through active engagement and intercession. Whether you are a prophetic believer, an intercessor, or simply someone looking for hope in these trying times, let this message resonate in your heart. Revive America and you will start witnessing revival in other nations too! Join us daily in praying for America and our brothers and sisters worldwide, as we endeavor to engage in this noble calling. As Sheets articulates, “Keep praying; it is working!” Engage in the mission that is about more than any individual but encompasses the glory of God across the earth.
