Introduction from Dutch Sheets: Our friend, Gina Gholston, was the recipient of the "America Shall Be Saved" dream in 2018. Recently, the Lord has been reminding her of this dream. Today's post is from her, and her title is "It's Time to Tip the Scale."
It's Time to Tip the Scales
By Gina Gholston
I recently watched the movie "A Great Awakening."(1) I enjoy learning about history, especially revival history, and for that reason, I found this film to be deeply compelling. However, as I sat in the theater, I became convinced that this was not just a movie about history; it is a prophetic wake-up call for the Church. The Lord is awakening His Ekklesia to recognize and reclaim the spiritual inheritance we have received as His heirs and representatives.
The movie depicts a critical moment in history, when the future of America was literally hanging in the balance. It was the impact of an unstoppable spiritual revolution that became the vital pivot point, launching this nation toward its prophetic destiny. That spiritual awakening resulted from the obedience of men and women who devoted themselves to the Lord. Their lives became vessels through which He released His power and the undeniable reality of Jesus, doing so with such evidence that it shifted the course of history.
This is a timely reminder for us today, for once again the future of this nation is hanging in the balance. Just as it was in those formative years, so it is now. The scales could tilt in either direction. The Ekklesia's response to God's calling will determine the direction of the tilt; we are the conduits through which His power and glory can be revealed in this critical hour.
This is an urgent moment when destiny and timing are meeting. Purpose, resources, wisdom, revelation, and divine encounters are being unlocked, having come into their right time. We must now take hold of and run with all that God has made available to us.
God's Glory Will Usher in the Verdict
For the past several weeks, the Lord has been reminding me of the "America Shall be Saved" dream He gave me a few years back. The dream pictured our times of prayer, our appeals to Heaven for His intervention. He assured us in the dream that He has heard our prayers. His verdict has been rendered; His intervention has been granted. But at the end of the dream, after the verdict was revealed, the glory of the Lord came to usher in the fulfillment of that verdict!
I believe God was showing us through this dream that the salvation He has determined for America would come through His manifested glory. And I believe this is now beginning. (Photo via Unsplash)
At the beginning of this year, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, "Here comes the glory!" This is the time! Everything is now aligned for another spiritual revolution, and Jesus is calling His Church off the sidelines and onto the frontlines to advance as carriers of His transforming glory. This will fulfill His determined verdict.
Upper Room Empowerment
Acts 4:27–30 gives a great illustration of this. The Church had experienced a life-changing encounter with God in the Upper Room. Now filled with His Spirit, He launched them with His power to release His glory. There was a great opportunity for advancement; there was also great resistance, but they were not deterred by the adversity. They realized it was a critical point on the timeline of God's plan, and that Yahweh had placed them in that specific time to make Jesus known.
Their response was NOT "God hide us from the resistance." It was "Lord, grant to us boldness to speak Your Word by stretching forth Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders would be done through the name of Your Son, Jesus" (see Acts 4:29–30). And through their devoted lives, Holy Spirit worked mightily, turning the world upside down with the demonstration of the glory of God!
This same determined conviction must be embraced by the Church today. Our faith in God must be more than just a "talked-about belief"; it has to be resilient and unshakable. We must be fully persuaded that Jesus is the answer to everything. Like the faith-filled men and women who have gone before us, we must be so devoted to God that His light in us shines with the evidence of His power, wisdom, and love. We must dispel the darkness that has covered people throughout the earth. This is our calling. This is our time.
God's Word to You in This Moment
Yahweh reminded me of a word He once spoke to me that is relevant to this moment. He said, "Watch, and do not resist Me. You have never lived in a time like this. I see beyond what you see. I think beyond what you can think or imagine. I know the way! I have the plan! Align with Me. Hear and co-operate with My Spirit as He leads you.
"I will show My strength and demonstrate My power in and through those whose hearts are fully dependent and focused on Me! Through you, the world will see and know that I am God. This is the time of the breaking forth of a new day. It will be produced by the light of My glory radiating through those who are completely Mine!" (Photo via Unsplash)
Boldly Engage as Christ's Ambassador!
In this pivotal moment, the Church must awaken and boldly engage as Christ's ambassadors. We must speak and move, not from the perspective and influence of our own emotions and limited understanding, but by the impartation of wisdom that comes by Holy Spirit revelation. As His governing Body, we must speak His Word boldly and confidently, with the authority of Yeshua.
It's time to tip the scales in God's direction, fulfilling His plan and purpose for our day. When our time here is finished and history records our story, may it be said of us, "They carried the mantle of revival, devoting themselves to Christ, and their lives became fuel for the flames of Yahweh! He turned the world upside down through them, demonstrating and revealing His undeniable power and glory."
Pray with me:
Father, what an honor to have been chosen by You to live in such a time as this! May we embrace the call to be reflections of Your glory, shining the light of Jesus to the world around us. Continue to work through us to dispel the darkness now shrouding our world. We trust and know that You are still mighty to save and to deliver. As You work to fulfill Your verdict for America, we offer ourselves as Your vessels. Through our surrendered lives, we ask that You work in and through us, revealing Your power and glory. Tilt the scales of history, bringing America and the nations into alignment with Your plan and intentions.
We believe this has been occurring, and that the upcoming gathering in Washington, D.C., on May 17 is part of the process. As we rededicate our nation to You, do as You did when Solomon dedicated the Temple: send Your glory! Do as You did at Sinai when the people of Israel dedicated themselves to You: send Your glory and shake the mountain of government. Shake out evil and corruption, return America to You and Your ways. We pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
Our decree:
As we fulfill our calling and speak God's Word with boldness, He will tilt the scales of history, fulfilling His determined verdict to save America and bring revival among the nations.
