AN ONGOING MOVEMENT, NOT A FLASH IN THE PAN MOMENT

In Christ, Mission Impossible Becomes Mission Difficult Becomes Mission Feasible Becomes Mission Possible Becomes Mission Accomplished!

Cross Walk America: Pray USA commenced in Sacramento, California on September 11, 2015, on the fourteenth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. On July 26, 2020, Albany, New York, the last of all 50 state capitals and states, was cross walked and prayed for!

And, although this segment of Cross Walk America: Pray USA to pray at each state capital has been accomplished in Christ, this national cross walk will continue as an ongoing mission until even America’s largest cities have been cross walked and prayed for as well!

Fifty states, 50 state capitals, 50 other American cities, as well as 155 California cities and towns later (since 2006), I have finally found the time to share how I pray at each state and state capital.

The divine purpose of bringing a ten-foot cross to each state and state capital and praying hard, loud and long was—and continues to be—fourfold:

(1) To make the name of Jesus the Messiah famous in America…again!

(2) To pray for and intercede on the behalf of our nation’s 330 million souls.

(3) To pray for our nation’s federal, state, county and local elected officials.

(4) To kickstart nationwide revival throughout our ravaged land.

A NATION THAT PRAYS TO THE ONE TRUE GOD TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER

Faith Doesn’t Make Sense. It Makes Miracles! And Combined Faith In The Living God Can Overcome All Of Life’s Opposing Obstacles.

From our nation’s West Coast beach cities to the East Coast’s early birthplace of American townships and colonies, throughout the North, East, West and South, and within Middle America’s teeming heartland, the one major characteristic I personally experienced that binds our nation together as one is the pure joy and and thanksgiving expressed on the faces and from the mouths of men, women and children when it comes to public prayer for the safety, protection and prosperity of their family, their city and their state!

Sure, there are atheists, agnostics, humanists and unbelievers who don’t believe in divine prayer in every state of our Union. But I have found that the overwhelming majority of Americans really do believe in the power of prayer.

No matter the region, the state or the city I have brought the large cross to and prayed long and hard for, the people of those towns and cities have always conveyed genuine appreciation that the living and loving one true God had brought an everyday street evangelist all the way from  Bakersfield, California to specifically lift up that city and state in combat prayer.

A NATION UNDER PATHOGENIC ASSAULT AND SECULAR HUMANISTIC ATTACK MUST KEEP ON PRAYING

We Must Pray For Personal And National Forgiveness. We Must Pray For Personal And National Restoration. And We Must Pray For personal And National Deliverance From The Evil One.

Even in spite of early 2020’s unleashing of a two-fold worldwide parasitic pathogen and national anti-God virus called Marxist communism across our nation, hope in God and in prayer remains both very alive—and active—in the hearts and minds of the majority of Americans.

December 31, 2019 looked so bright and promising to the majority of Americans. For most, 2020 was an upcoming year of new vision, new inspiration, new hope and new beginnings. But then it happened. A relentless foreign-engendered and domestic-bred two-prong assault on our way of life began systemically spreading sickness, death, fear and mayhem across our cities and our states.

Large group gatherings were banned and masks (actually mouth and nose coverings) were required, unless you were meeting together as protesters and rioters. The people of God were clearly caught off guard and by surprise and didn’t know what to do. Third day believers were kept from their houses of worship, and even told they could not sing to the LORD for risk of spreading the pathogen.

Questions arose as to why law breakers could destroy private property, break windows and steal from stores, commit mayhem and set fire to buildings and law enforcement vehicles without fear of consequences. A nation that once was led by the rule of law was now being guided by the rule of mob, as law enforcement officers were instructed by their mayors and council members to turn the other cheek and allow criminal activity to rule the night.

BUT THEN IT HAPPENED!

A measure of revival began to break out like a spiritual epidemic across our land! Only this divine epidemic was creating dynamic faith inside the spirits and hearts of a remnant of God’s Third Day Believers—those “heavenly woke” by the Spirit of the living God. In cities where mayhem, murder and tragedy had set off protests that quickly turned into riots and unchecked lawlessness, men and women “with a different spirit,” akin to that of two ancient mighty men of God, Caleb and Joshua (Joshua 13 and 14), rose up above the fear and the foe and shouted out for all to hear: “Let us go up at once  and take possession [of the besieged land] for we are well able to overcome it!” (see Joshua 13:27-33 and the conflict between God’s people).

GOD’S FAITH-FILLED, HEAVENLY WOKE REMNANT AND EZRA’S MEASURE OF REVIVAL

Revival is not enough. God must also repair the breech in our lives. And the LORD must also rebuild that which has been destroyed by the enemy. And then He must rewall our lives with His so great salvation to ensure powerful and lasting restoration.

Every 21st century believer can look to the ancient yet God-inspired books of Ezra and Nehemiah for comfort and motivation during this time of “the new normal,” which is actually “the new abnormal.” And though there is widespread fear that the sky has fallen for good and nothing will ever be the same again, one need only to look to the Word of God for comfort and for motivation to become part of the solution and not remain part of this current dual pathogenic and soul sickness problem facing our nation.

Before sharing how I pray at every state, state capital and American city I bring the large cross to, let’s take a look at a portion of the book of Ezra which outlines the four steps to divine Restoration. These four steps to divine restoration worked for the people of Israel in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, and they will also work for America’s third day believers and people of the Resurrection!

“I [Ezra] fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God and I said…Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been very guilty, and for our iniquities we, our kings and our priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to humiliation, as it is this day. And now for a little while grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg [literally, Messianic promise] in His holy place, that our God may enlighten [impart divine wokeness in] our eyes, and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. For we [are] slaves. Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage, but He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia to revive us, to repair the house of God [our personal temple], to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah [praise] and Jerusalem [peace].” —Ezra 9:5, NKJV, bold emphasis added
