I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and

peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

(2 Timothy 2:1-4)

There is a solution to every problem in the earth and our nation. Jesus Christ is still upon His Throne of Glory and empowers His people to rule and reign on this earth. Jesus Christ is coming back for His glorious, victorious church! This does not mean the church will not experience tribulation, but we are always victorious in Christ.

You see and hear the news of violence, murder, robbery, destruction of properties and civil disobedience to the laws of our land. If Christians were praying, like we should, things would not be as they are in our nation. You already know all this upheaval is disguised as protesting. The moment laws are violated, it is a crime, not protesting.

Dad Hagin’s Vision We can learn from

Dad Hagin’s vision and know exactly what to do about the civil unrest in our nation. He had two similar visions where Jesus Christ taught Him what to do about things like we are dealing with today.

Dad Hagin said, “I had two very similar and unusual spiritual experiences, one in 1970 and the other in 1979, that showed me how real our responsibility is to pray for our nation and for the world. In both visions I saw three huge, black, frog-like creatures coming up out of the Atlantic Ocean. They looked like huge frogs except they were much larger—about the size of whales.

In the first vision in 1970, I saw these dark beings come up out of the Atlantic, and they seemed to leap all the way across the land. In the second vision in 1979, I again saw three frog-like creatures, and one of those creatures came up out of the water and looked like it was about to land on our shores.

You need to know how to interpret spiritual visions. Because these creatures came out of the ocean doesn't mean they came up out of a literal ocean.

From Genesis to Revelation, "seas" or "waters" often symbolizes a multitude of people. In the first vision, I knew that the three frog-like creatures leaping across our country meant that three strategies of the devil would arise out of the multitude of peoples against our nation. The first strategy of Satan would be riots and disturbances. The second, would be political upheaval (Watergate, as it turned out). And the third, problems in the economic sector of our nation.

These evil strategies from the enemy don't arise from the Christian population; they come from the masses of those walking in darkness because sinners are held bondage and dominated by the devil in the kingdom of darkness.

In the second vision in 1979, Jesus said to me, "If the Christians of this nation had done what I told them to do in My Word and had prayed for the leaders of their country, they could have kept those evil spirits you saw in 1970 from operating in this nation. None of those upheavals would have occurred in your nation. You would not have had the political, social, and economic disturbances in this nation, and the President never would have made the mistakes he made. In fact, I'm holding the Church responsible for the President's mistakes." When I heard Jesus say that, I cried out, "My God!" and began to weep. Jesus continued, "Yes, the Church is responsible before God Almighty.”

Jesus went on to say, “I know when you tell that to some Christians, they will laugh. But you wait until they stand before My Judgment Seat and see if they laugh when they are the ones who will receive the judgment."

Jesus said, unless Christians pray, there will arise another time of riots and tumults and disturbances all across the nation, coming from different causes than the disturbances of the early 1970s.

Jesus concluded, "Once again, Christians can stop all three of these strategies of the devil against this nation. They can stop the upheaval t h ro u g h r i o t s , t u m u l t s , a n d disturbances in the social structure. They can stop the upheaval and the activity of the devil in the political scene of their nation. And they can stop the devil from disrupting the financial scene of their nation."

The Church Is Responsible Jesus Christ revealed the answer to the problems of our nation going on today, about fifty years ago. It seems the church fails to accept the responsibility for the evil in our nation. We do hear it is time for the Antichrist and the mark of the beast, and the end times are here so these things are supposed to happen. This places the blame on something else besides the church not praying. What we are experiencing now is not as bad as what our nation has been through. Our nation has had much evil.

Problems Not New To USA Our American Civil War occurred from 1861 until 1865. Over 618,000 men died in the Civil War and there were 1.5 million casualties, on top of that, according to history. In the 1930s, the economy collapsed and money was worthless.

There have been so many riots and civil disobedience in our nation, since its founding, that it would take several newsletters the size of this one just to list them all. Some were more violent and far reaching than others, but in most all of them, people were hurt, killed and property destroyed.

I was led, by the Lord, to look into these things. There have been about thirty-five major riots and civil unrest, in our nation since 2010 until the present day. They were for different reasons. I point this out b e c a u s e l a w l e s s n e s s , r i o t i n g , violence, mayhem and destruction have been on an increase for the last ten years. The church decreased.

Will Prayer Bring Change According to what Jesus told Dad Hagin, in the vision, the church is going to be held accountable for this. We have not prayed and held back these evil spirits as we should. In fact, many in the church don’t believe there are demons, much less that they have authority over them. If you think upheaval is supposed to be happening like this in the world and our nation, why pray? You can’t stop it anyway. That is what the devil wants us to believe.

The end is not yet, even though it is on the horizon of time. Yes, the devil is stirred, but granny said the same britches he got mad in, he might as well get glad in. The church has total authority over every devil, demon and evil spirit.

There have been those who have had dreams and visions of destruction in the United States. I am not saying that what they have seen is not true. I am saying it can be averted and stopped if the church will pray. It can be held back by the church. I know the Lord said to me, “If the church does not turn to me, in prayer, during t h i s v i r u s , r i o t s a n d c i v i l disobedience, you have not seen anything like the devil has planned for this nation.” I knew the Lord was telling me all these things can be stopped by taking our authority in prayer.

Without Law

The church started on a journey to become lawless and the nation followed. Those in the church who did this set the course for problems in the church and nation. The church threw the ten commandments out, then schools threw them out, then they were ripped off of courthouse walls and plaques. Now, the nation has thrown them out and rebellion, defiance and mutiny against any laws abounds in our society. This happens while many who are supposed to enforce the law give their approval of lawlessness.

To borrow an expression from Dad Hagin, “The church sits around wondering what is going on today like a toady frog setting around batting his eyes in a west Texas hail storm.” Most of the church paved the way for all this mayhem and was so far away from God they didn’t even know it. There is complaining about people falling away from the church. The people fell away from the church because they first fell away from the Lord Jesus while sitting in many churches.

None of these negative things happening in the church and nation is a mystery to those who know the Holy Ghost. They saw it coming and tried to warn anyone who would listen, to no avail. They were pushed aside and declared old heads, out of touch and not relevant in the modern church. The way out, is for the church to repent and turn to God with tears and sorrow for their disobedience.

September 2, 1950 Vision Rev. Kenneth Erwin Hagin was visited by Jesus Christ and given a vision about the USA in 1950. Jesus appeared to him many times in his life and gave him revelations for the church also. In fact, Dad Hagin was sent to the church like Moses was sent to Israel. Moses knew the Lord, face to face and Dad Hagin did too. Many who used to listen to Dad Hagin now reject the things that Jesus told him to tell us. He taught obedience, reverence and respect to God.

In Dad Hagin’s vision, he was given a scroll to read and then he would see what he read.

He said,“First I read about thousands upon thousands of men in uniform. Then I looked and saw these men marching, wave after wave of soldiers marching as to war. I looked in the direction they were going, and as far as I could see there were thousands of men marching.

I turned to read the scroll again, and then looked and saw what I had just read about. I saw many women — old women with snowy white hair, middle-aged women, young women, and teenagers. Some of the younger ones held babies in their arms. All of the women were bowed together in sorrow and were weeping profusely. Those who did not carry babies held their hands on their stomachs as they bowed over and wept. Tears flowed from their eyes like water.

I looked at the scroll again, and again I looked to see what I had read about. I saw the skyline of a large city. Looking closer, I saw the skyscrapers were burned-out hulls. Portions of the city lay in ruins. It was not written that just one city would be destroyed, burned, and in ruins, but that there would be many such cities destroyed.

I read,"America is receiving her last call. Some nations already have received their last call and never will receive another.” Then in larger print it said, “The time of the end of all things is at hand.”

This statement was repeated four or five times. Jesus also said this was the last great revival. “Today, I am speaking and giving America her last warning and call to repentance, and the time that is left is comparable to the last seven days o f N o a h ' s t i m e . Wa r n t h i s generation, as did Noah his generation, for judgment is about to fall. And these sayings shall be fulfilled shortly, for I am coming soon." Jesus repeated, "This is the last revival. I am preparing My people for My coming. Judgment is coming, but I will call My people away, even unto Myself, before the worst shall come. But be thou faithful; watch and pray, for the time of the end of all things is at hand.”

Noah preached righteousness for 120 years and not one person took heed to what he said. Only his immediate family was saved in the Ark when the flood came. I’ll keep preaching like Noah did in his day.

I did not give the entire account of the vision for lack of space. What I want to point out is two things Jesus Christ said in the vision. Judgment is coming and a call to repentance. Most of the modern church does not believe in judgment or repentance and that is exactly what Jesus called for. Most preach against judgment and repentance. That reveals to us that they do not know the Holy Ghost or the Lord Jesus Christ. The modern church is responsible for the problems in our nation and world because of this.

I do believe this vision will come to pass, if the nation fails to repent. He will call His people away before the worst shall come as He promised. It is not time yet for these things to happen so you do not have to fear.

The remnant church will arise in the Glory of the Lord and His will shall come to pass in this earth! Glory be to God forever and ever!
