Restoring America Back to God
Isaiah 26:2-5
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter, The one that remains faithful. 3 The steadfast (resolutely, unwavering, faithful) of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. 4 Trust in the LORD forever, For in GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock (Rock of Ages). 5 For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
In 1620, the Mayflower arrived in Plymouth, Mass. This sail ship carried 102 pilgrims that had left England and Holland to sail to a new land called America where they could begin a new life free of the religious and political tyranny that was in England and in the rest of Europe. They loved God and their Savior Jesus Christ. These Pilgrims made peace with the Native Americans that were for peace and the nation thrived. Because America honored God, she was raised above the nations. She endured hardship, a revolutionary war, and a civil war but came on top because of the reverence towards God. She was not perfect but believed in God. And God was good to her. Deuteronomy 4:7 (Complete Jewish Bible) 7 For what great nation is there that has God as close to them as ADONAI our God is, whenever we call on him?
Even when many backslid, God would raise up revivalists like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield in the 1700’s and Charles Finney in the 1800’s. And let’s not forget the Azusa Street Revival of the early 1900’s led by William Seymour. God was good and still is good.
What about today? All we can say is that we need another Great American Revival because the people of America, especially the Church, lack spiritual depth. There is a lack of intimacy with God. There needs to be a return to the first love. People get fired up about a football game, a basketball game, about cars, money, boats, pets, and hobbies but not about God. Materialism and idolatry have set in well in the hearts and minds of the people of the western civilization, especially America. These sins open the door to other sins.
Consider these facts:
Look at Isaiah 26:5 again
The word in Isaiah 60:2 came to me then, darkness comes upon the land, thick darkness upon the people. In 2001, the hedge of protection for America fell because of all the legalized sin. Islamic terror demons now prey on weak minds and many commit mass shootings.
When 9-11 occurred, People went to church for 2 weeks and then went back to materialism and idolatry. The result was more legalized sins.
Ancient Israel had done the same thing and went into captivity. Most of the Church and America is in a spiritual captivity. The politicians blame each other, and each blame the other side. Big pharma and the medical world praise vaccines as the answer for now and for the future. Religion just goes along with everything because it does not want to rock the boat and lose its 501c3 tax exemption status. And we want God to bless America!
God will not bless America until she repents and gets rid of legalized sin.
The healing of America is not found in politics, not in religion and not in medicine and vaccines, it is found in an intimate relationship with the person of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the only way to Father God, Creator of Heaven, and earth and all you see (Genesis 1:1). The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. My God and your God.
Isaiah 26, verse 3 says, he will keep you in perfect peace. Only Christ can. America and all its inhabitants must return to righteousness (Isaiah 26, verse 2).
It is time for the Healing of America!
God cares about you and I in this present darkness. Whether you are a believer or not, He cares. He made you in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26). He is your Creator. He cares more than you will ever know. The One who understands darkness, understands your darkness for He was in the darkness. Matthew 27:45-47 reads; 45 Now from the sixth hour (noon) there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.). 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, “ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” that is, “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?” 47
For the first time in their relationship, God separated Himself from His Son Jesus Christ! It had to happen because at the cross Jesus took the sin of the world upon himself. He who knew no sin became sin for us, now that’s darkness! God could not co-inhabit with sin. This was very agonizing for Jesus and very painful for Father God. Jesus was in thick darkness when the Father retrieved because there is no light without Father God. Jesus became an orphan for the very first time! It was also heartbreaking and painful for Father God as He watched His Son go through that agony. It was the hour of darkness. It had to be that way so Christ could die, resurrect, and save you and I from the darkness of sin and the separation from Father God. What price was paid! And America has trampled the blood of Jesus under her feet. God is in deep sadness about this. Therefore, the American
Church must come to a place of deep repentance. Because of legalized sin in America, the Church cannot say the USA is a Christian nation. It can say that America is a nation with many Christians. America must come back and become the beacon on a hill. Even though it is still the world power and leader, if it does not repent and return to God, it shall lose its place of power. It has been raised above the nations, but it can be taken down like all other nations.
One thing for sure the Remnant Church will prevail and complete its mission on the Earth. The healing of America begins with repentance in the Church. Repentance for allowing the nation to go in the direction of legalized sin. Repentance from materialism and idolatry. Repentance for its many sins. II Chronicles 7:14 14 and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
There is still time! Come back to Him! Trust in Him forever, the Rock of Ages.
Acts 15: 16-18 16 ‘AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TENT OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN; I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS,AND I WILL RESTORE IT, 17 SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES UPON WHOM MY NAME HAS BEEN INVOKED,’ 18 SAYS THE LORD, WHO HAS BEEN MAKING THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM LONG AGO.
He wants deep intimacy with you and I. He has ordained not a spear against you but an outpouring of blessings and revival as you are positioned at His side.
Repent and receive His forgiveness, restoration, and revival!

Consider these facts:
- Hard liquor has been always legal except between 1919-1933
- There has been an ever-increasing desire for materialism since the late 1800’s (industrial revolution), which has led to idolatry.
- Divorce rate in USA was 5% in the 1800’s, today it is 50% in first marriage, 60% in second and 73% in third.
- Prayer was taken out of public school in 1962
- Pornography was legalized in 1969 with prostitution being legal in parts of Nevada.
- Abortion was legalized in 1973, the same year the World Trade Towers opened.

- In 1986 WICCA (Witchcraft) was recognized in the USA as a religion.• Legalized Gay Marriage
- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear appeals from that circuit's decision. On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all state bans on same-sex marriage, legalized it in all fifty states, and required states to honor out-of-state same-sex marriage licenses. This was one of the open doors for an epidemic of illness.
- In 2016 the Satanic Temple established its headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts.
Witchcraft, Occultism and Satanism are officially recognized as faith-based religions in the USA.
Illinois erects a satanic monument next to the menorah and the nativity scene in the capital building as sign of recognition in December of 2018. The ultimate in legalized sin. - In early 2020 the Covid-19 Pandemic (4 years after gay marriage was legalized in America) occurs.
- In 2021 six states mandated public schools to teach LGTBQ education. California (since 2011), Nevada, New Jersey, Colorado, Illinois, and Oregon have the mandates.
