"I see conflict in the church in America between Ishmael and Isaac. Many churches and congregations in this land being birthed in the flesh. Others receiving a make over into the realm of the flesh. Led by managers and motivational speakers instead of messengers. Speaking to the flesh of their constituents instead of their spirit. They have permitted the fire to go out on the altar and have turned off the lights in the prayer room. Raising up a generation that does not know the Lord. A generation of converts who have rose up to play while the enemy lurks at the door ready to devour us. A generation of people who have become addicted to pleasures and entertainment. A drunken generation with itching ears, going from church to church, looking for something new and looking for someone who motivates them and entertains them and not mention their sin. While the church, the hope of this nation slumbers and sleeps, the enemy lurks at the door, ready to devour.
I see an Ishmael church that has lost its voice of authority in this nation, becoming comfort creatures and submitting to the affluence of this land, no longer looking for the coming of the Lord, while the leaders of this land are making deals in the back rooms which will take us into captivity.
The lights have gone out on the altar in the prayer room because they feel its no longer necessary to seek the Lord.
Meanwhile, I see an army of intercessors in this land who are crying out day and night for Isaac. A Spirit led church. I hear a cry from the Holy Place. Intercessors groaning and travailing for Isaac to come and replace Ishmael, the churches that are operating according to the flesh. That are operating according to the dictates of their own heart and mind. A generation of Christian leaders who have become more tuned with the wishes of their congregation rather than hearing the Voice of The Lord. Consumed with busyness and their own agendas.
I see great persecution coming to the church in America, turning the hearts of the Christians back to Jehovah God. Resulting in city wide prayer gatherings, sometimes praying all night for their city and nation. As a result I see entire cities and communities turning back to Christ with revival starting in the streets of our nations, spilling over into churches until there is standing room only. Revival resulting in city fathers overturning city ordinances that will permit churches to have free access into every nook and cranny in the city or community. I see local local school boards permitting preaching and praying in the classrooms. I see Isaac being welcomed into many cities and communities in this nation. I see a major migration in America, with many people moving from cities of darkness and running to safe cities of light because of the violence in many geographical locations in America.
I see prophets who are watching on the wall being interviewed on many networks concerning future events. I see prophetic teachers being sought after because so many new converts are passionate to know more about coming events in this nation and nations of the world.
I see an army of young preachers coming out of obscurity to speak to their generation. I see this army of young preachers being mentored by spiritual fathers and grand fathers; being mentored in the morning and standing to preach in the evening.
I see a new wave of revival coming to America, led by spanish speaking people, women and young adults.
I see desegregation taking place in the church with young and old meeting together in the sanctuary to worship and hear the word accompanied by interpreters."
