Dutch Sheets, Bishop Harry Jackson and Anthony Turner: 'It's Time for a Conversation'Our brokenhearted nation is in labor until He shall make us one.
A Word from Bishop Harry Jackson [Our friend, Bishop Harry Jackson, has addressed this well for us today (transcribed excerpts below). His message was given on Mike and Cindy Jacobs' Prophetic Dateline 6/2/20 here.]
"I want to talk about a man named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 1960s civil rights movement. That was not meant to be an event. It was meant to lead us into a major awakening of Christianity in America and around the world. Today, men and women of every ethnicity are picking up that mantle. There's a social change component and a spiritual revival mandate in it. We need everyone engaged in this. It is time for all those in the Body of Christ to come together and, with one voice, become a witness and make changes. "We need structural change. That's going to take more than the efforts of one race. We can unify across all of these racial lines with the teachings of Christ. There is nothing else that can unify us. The political left and right can't unify us. Only the love of Christ can. I think we are at a kairos moment. Are we going to look at this now and see how we can become a united America as we move into our future, or are we on the eve of destruction?" –Bishop Harry Jackson "Have you ever heard of a woman who gave birth before she went into labor? Have you ever seen a woman who delivered a son without feeling a thing? Do you think it's possible for the land to go through labor in an instant, or to bear a nation, to be new and strong, in a single day?" (Isaiah 66:7-8a, The Voice) A Prayer You Can Pray [This is a paraphrased portion of a prayer by Anthony Turner of Colorado Springs, CO, released 6/2/20. We feel he expresses the heart of the Father in this intercession from his own heart as a leader in the Black community. You can hear his entire prayer here.]
"So, Father, we stand in a nation that is so full of hurt, pain, trauma, and rage. There are so many people that don't know what to do or where to go. There are so many things causing people to be divided. Even in the midst of that, we stand up today as the Ekklesia, as the Church. We come to the bow of the boat, as Jesus did, and we say, 'Peace, be still!' We come to the bow of the nation and we see the storms raging. They seem so insurmountable to us that they cause us to say, as the disciples did, 'Do You care that we perish?' We know, Father, that You do. "So, from a place of peace, we speak to the storms of anger, violence, rage, and decimation. We speak to the storms of injustice. We speak to the storms of fear. We speak to the storms and release the sound of shalom, and we say, 'Peace, be still.' We say to hearts that are hurting and hearts that are confused, 'We release the shalom of God, the peace of Jesus, into your lives and into these situations across this nation. We release a great calm over cities in this nation and over neighborhoods.' "We ask You, Lord, for an invasion of Your Holy fire, just like You invaded that upper room on the day of Pentecost. The 120 that were waiting for You came out differently than they went in. In the midst of all that is going on, we speak a word of shalom, and we say that we want to come out of this differently than we went in. "We speak to a nation that is in so much pain right now. We release Your love and Your healing balm. We ask You to bring us together now to be solutions to these problems that our nation is facing. We pray for a brokenhearted nation to receive Your love. We pray for those who don't know where to turn, to turn to You. Jesus, we turn to You. We pray for pastors and leaders, moms and dads, and children who are confused and scared. We say, Lord, in the midst of this, 'What the enemy has meant for evil, we decree that You are going to turn it for good.' "We are going to see a nation that has been divided find a way to look past all of the hurt and anger and rage and fear. We are going to see a nation come together. You said Your Son would be 'wonderful Counselor, the Prince of Peace, and the government would be on His shoulders.' So, we take the government of the United States and we rest it on the shoulders of Jesus. We take our national pain, our anger, our hurt, and we exchange it at the Cross for Your love and peace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Today's decree: Our brokenhearted nation is in labor until He shall make us one.
