The message calls for a deep groan of despair for the nation to turn back to God, emphasizing the need for prayer and trust in God's intervention.

Only what God could work out. I don't know how many phone calls were made to South Africa to try to arrange this, but their communication, their phone systems are not like in America here. A lot to be desired. And I heard since we finally did get a hold of him, that for six weeks his phone, his fax, his email, everything was was out of whack. And he had a stack of letters of people that finally thought, well, they'll try, you know, snail mail as a last resort. And they did get a hold of him that way. So we're really grateful to have him here. And like I said, he travels most of his life. I think he, when did you start preaching? When he was 22 years old. And then you got married at when? About 30? At 32. And has a lovely wife, at least from the sound on the phone. I've never met her. But, and she really sacrifices a lot to have him gone so much. And just grateful to have you here, Keith. And the rest of the evening's yours. Thank you. Thank you for the privilege of being here. I'm very grateful to God. And I have come to love America, to love American people. I don't think I would love America if I hadn't had the privilege of coming to the Godliest of the Godliest of the Godliest across your land. I've been very privileged to meet many, many Godly people. And I'm very grateful for the Godly people I've met here. And I thank John and Lynette and their lovely family, and Phil and his dear family. I'm very, very grateful for that too. If our light switch isn't working, you're not going to see anything but lip sign. Where is the brother that's making the mistake so we can make him feel bad? I don't know. Well, something's going wrong. Yes, it is. That's right. We may have to resort to that. Oh, it's fine now. Perhaps you put it too loud there, brother, and it just conked out a bit in the echo. So not too loud. I do know how to make people feel bad, brother, so don't, don't worry, OK? And I don't mean to do it. That's why everyone forgives me. I am very grateful to be here. And also, not only to John and Lynette and her lovely family, but also to Phil and his dear wife and family, and to everyone else of you that I have had the privilege of having fellowship with, I do thank you that I could be brought back here. And I sat in the bachelor's corner tonight with four men whose wives haven't forsaken them, but they're not here with them. And they've come from Indiana. And I had a lovely time fellowshipping with them and thank them very much for the richness of the conversation and the way I could sense their love of Christ with all their hearts. I was saying I do love America, and I honestly think I would never have wanted to come back to America if I hadn't come and met all the godly. I have just loved this land for the godly of your land. The devil might get the headlines in the newspaper of all he's doing and all his people, but God is doing great things also. And God has his people in this land. And on your knees, you can bring America back to God. God waits for his people, though. Don't doubt that. But I sense there's coming a groan in the hearts of the godly. And when you hear a groan, that's when God starts moving. And I'm beginning to hear it with those I've been privileged to pray with across your land. A groan of despair for this land to come back to God. And I long, I long to see your country coming back to God and for my country. Thank you to every one of you for coming here tonight, and thank you sincerely for giving me the privilege of preaching here tonight. I wonder if we could bow in a moment of prayer, if we could just bow before our God and quieten our hearts and just trust him to visit us here tonight, each one. Our wonderful Father, we thank thee that we could have had this lovely time of fellowship and joy of sharing with each other our love for Christ and all the things Christ has done for us. We thank thee for Jesus. Oh, Father, there is nothing we can thank thee for more than thy Son. We bless thee for thy love to mankind in giving thine only begotten Son. And we thank thee for his blood that was shed for us. We thank thee that by the blood of Jesus we were saved, not only from hell and damnation and condemnation, but saved from a life of self. We could live for Christ and a purpose that's eternal, but only what's done for Christ will last. And so we bless thee for Jesus, that there's something to live for, there's something to fight for, there's something to die for, because Christ has saved our souls. Oh, God, come now in thy mercy upon us and keep us under the blood of Jesus, safe from all the powers of darkness. Rebuke thou the devil thyself, Lord, rebuke thou him away. Take his hands off this building, off this people, any influence he has on any life. Rip his hands off God, put him to flight. All the powers and principalities of darkness put to flight by the risen, resurrected power of Christ. Come and put our enemy away, Lord, from this place. Keep us sheltered under the blood of Jesus. Surround us and this whole area with the angels of God, standing with swords drawn to do battle against the powers of darkness. And come thou, render heavens, and come by thy Spirit, Lord. Move upon us, visit us. Take me, Lord, in mercy. Wash me in the blood, the holy blood of Jesus Christ. I have nothing but the blood to show thee, God. There is nothing I can commend myself, there is nothing, no reason I can bring to thee as to why thou shouldst come and bless through this weak man. Other than the blood of Christ I have nothing, God. Come, wash me in that blood, now, God, through and through and through, that I may have the right to preach the holy word of God. Come, fill me with the Spirit of God anew. Anoint my lips and my mind, my heart, my very being. Come, stand beside me in the pulpit of God. Come, take every heart. Take away prejudice, take away unbelief, take away anger, take away hardness, take away blindness. By the blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, take away everything that would hinder everyone sitting here tonight, from hearing God's voice, from seeking God with the whole heart. Come, honor and bless this service for thy glory, Lord. We all ask these things in the name of Jesus the Christ, God, Saviour and Friend. In the name of Jesus the Christ, please answer this prayer. And for his sake, Amen.
