How many of you know we need a revival? Unless we have a revival in this nation, we won't have a nation. My father said way back in the 80s, that if America doesn't concentrate in prayer, they will pray in concentration camps. And I used to laugh, not outwardly, because I respected my father, but inwardly I thought, Dad, this is America.
The land of the free, the home of the brave, we have a constitution, we have a Bill of Rights, and so on and so forth, but I've learned that those things are fastly disappearing. And the church is being turned against, and we are the ones now that are the problem, if you like. We are the ones that speak out against homosexuality and all the other things that we know are wrong morally, and yet we are the ones that are mocked and laughed and so on, and we will be, I believe, within a number of years, driven underground.
It would surprise me that in my lifetime, there will be an underground church in America because of the persecution. And the only answer is revival. The Spirit of God coming and sweeping through this land.
