The Day Of Repentance

 

When I first saw Jonathan Cahn's eight minute video titled "the Return" several months ago I was deeply touched because on it he was asking God's people to repent for the sins of this nation, hoping that God would have mercy on this wicked and evil nation. Immediately I had a vision of myself on my knees at the National Mall in D.C. weeping before God and repenting for this country. That is the last thing I want to do because the USA has gone too far and has told God He is not wanted here anymore. I want His judgment to fall on this evil nation. I feel like Jonah felt when he was told to go warn Nineveh. He didn't want to because he thought that God would have mercy on Nineveh and he wanted God's judgment to fall on that city because of their sins. But a prophet doesn't have a choice in the matter, as Jonah found out, we just do what the Spirit of the Lord orders us to do regardless of whether we like it or not. 

Over the past few months I've been hoping that God would not make me do it.  But on Friday Aug. 21 the Holy Spirit told me that I would be driving to D.C., leaving on Sept. 25 and arriving there on the night of the 26th or morning of the 27th. I will go directly to the steps of the Capitol Bldg., get on my knees and with tears and great emotion will repent for the sins of this country. I was even given explicit instructions that I would not be wearing my usual travel shorts and topsiders when in D.C. but would be dressed in a nice shirt, nice slacks and good shoes because this is a very serious occasion. When I'm finished in five or twenty-five minutes I will leave D.C. and my job will be done. That is how God does things.

Last week I received an email from Jonathan Cahn requesting that we fast for the ten days preceding the meeting at the National Mall on the 26th. At 74 I can't fast but one meal a day, but that will be enough. Yes, his hopefully large group will meet at the National Mall on the 26th for a day of prayer and repentance for the USA. Franklin Graham will also be having a large group of people there at the same time praying  for this country. This is from his website:

Want to do something to help our hurting nation? On September 26, join Franklin Graham for a prayer march in Washington, D.C.—from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol.“Our communities are hurting, our people are divided and there’s fear and uncertainty all around us,” said Franklin Graham. “Let’s join together and do the most important thing, and that is to pray. We’re going to pray that God will intervene and save this nation.”

But I was specifically told not to participate in those gatherings, but to be there the day after they leave. The day I will be there is Sept. 27, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Please keep both groups in your fervent prayers during that time. If you can, please fast that day and during the preceding ten days.  If at all possible please come to  D.C. on the 26th and participate with either or both groups. And please keep me in your prayers also during my drive up there as well as on the 27th.  May God bless all of you and may God bless America -  if we repent.
