Can Jesus Redeem the USA? featuring Joseph Manoharan

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,920
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to the Strang Report.

2
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,760
Today we're going to talk about one of the most important topics ever, and that's the

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:25,840
subject of revival and the fact that we need revival in America and indeed around the world.

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:34,240
I'm going to talk to a new friend who's written a book called Lord Send a Revival and Let It Begin

5
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:42,080
in Me. I certainly believe that and when I found out about the book and the tour that's going to

6
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:49,360
happen, I said I want that on my podcast. So I'm going to be talking today to Joseph Manoharan,

7
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,640
who is the president of Jesus Redeems USA. And I want to first of all welcome you and thank you

8
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,800
for fitting in this podcast. And I'm just so glad to invite you because I think it's wonderful

9
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,920
and I'll explain to my viewers that in a way you're a missionary from the country of India

10
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,320
to America. Amen. And you've written a book which I want to talk about, but I also want to talk about

11
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:23,200
this tour that you're doing to 21 cities called America Belongs to Jesus with brother Mohan

12
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,960
Lazarus. It's going to start a couple days after Easter. Yes. Go all the way through the month of

13
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:37,920
April until the 23rd and we can talk about it more specifically. But what prompted this America

14
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,680
Belongs to Jesus tour and what do you hope to accomplish? Brother Stephen, thank you so much

15
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:50,000
for having me on your podcast. I've been following you for the last almost 30 years without knowing

16
00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:00,000
you. You're making me feel old. Yeah. I met you in one of the Benny Henskerset years ago and I'm one

17
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,440
of the violent readers of Charisma magazine, print magazine. Now it's digital. So it's my joy and

18
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:14,640
privilege to do this podcast with you. Thank you so much. You raised a very good question. Why

19
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:23,360
we need this 21 day, 21 city prayer tour. So I want to give a small glimpse of the person who is

20
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:30,400
going to lead this prayer initiative. So when brother Mohan Lazarus, the founder of Jesus

21
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,440
Reduce ministry in India that comes in the southern part of India, he got saved when he was 14 and God

22
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,360
called him to fund this particular organization. He's raising prayer warriors and I will say he's

23
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,320
a prayer revivalist and has been going to 45 countries to our country. US alone is coming for

24
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:56,880
25 years. And last year, this is the crux of the story. Last year when we had a three day fasting

25
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:04,320
prayer in Dallas on July 12th, so 11th night, we after dinner, we went to bed around 12 o'clock.

26
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:11,200
God woke him up and asked him to pray for the country. When he was praying, he saw the throne

27
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:19,040
of God is coming down on the map of America. Then immediately he saw a vision. The devil is threatening

28
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:26,560
him. You are Indian, you are a Tamilian and you have no right to come and pray for this country.

29
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,680
You cannot cry, you cannot pray, you cannot shed tears. You don't belong to America. You go back

30
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:43,120
to India. Then God gave him the revelation. He responded, he's Satan. God and the earth and the

31
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,920
fullness thereof belongs to God. God is my daddy. I'm his son. Whatever God is, is mine. So I will

32
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:56,080
come to US. I'll come to pray. I'll come to shed the tears until I see the revival. So the next day

33
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:04,320
morning, I was showing a video clip by CBN. They put the birth of the country where the flag was,

34
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,880
cross was planted in Jameson, Virginia. And they declared the country saying America belongs to

35
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,160
Jesus. America is dedicated for the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. When he mentioned

36
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,400
America belongs to Jesus, he caught on the word. Joseph, this devil was telling me it belongs to

37
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:30,160
him. But our forefathers said, skip this country. It belongs to Jesus. So we missed. So we need to

38
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,520
claim this country back to Jesus. So God immediately impressed upon his heart to cancel all his program

39
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:47,120
and come to US in the month of April from 3rd to 23, 21 cities, 21 days. We are starting from

40
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,040
April, Jameson, Virginia on 3rd, coming all the way across the country, you know, the, the,

41
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,960
the Boston, New Jersey, New Jersey, New York, DC, Florida. We are coming to Tampa, Florida.

42
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:10,880
And we may get to see you there. Then Texas, California, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Seattle.

43
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:17,360
It's just interesting. I mentioned it a moment ago, but America, uh, since very early in its

44
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,160
founding has sent missionaries around the world. Not the only country, of course, or number of

45
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,840
European countries that have sent missionaries. And now in more recent years, we see, uh,

46
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:34,160
South Korea sent a lot of missionaries, Brazil, um, places like the Bahamas, believe it or not.

47
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:41,120
But it's just interesting that India, I mean, I know many missionaries to India. In fact,

48
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:49,280
my parents in their retirement years were missionaries for one year at the Southern Asia

49
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:55,120
Bible college in Bangalore, but they were training young people for ministry. That's missionary of

50
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:04,880
a type. But here Indians, real Indians, not our American Indians are coming back to America.

51
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,200
Really probably is it should be accepted. It also indicates the spiritual climate in America that

52
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,400
we need missionaries from other countries. Talk to me about it because you dealt with that, uh,

53
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:24,080
in your book, Lord sent a revival and begin it with me. Yes. So the, the purpose of this 21 day

54
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:31,760
tour, the, I just want to complete it. Um, the purpose is the sons of the soil. You know, we are,

55
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,920
when we have the meeting for more than Lazarus in, in, in us, in DC, California, and Texas,

56
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:44,560
we have a hundred coming. There is no problem, but this time we want the sons of the soil who claim

57
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,840
we are born and brought up in this place. The sons of the soils, the daughters of the America,

58
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:56,240
they have to come together and proclaim together America belongs to Jesus. So that's one of the

59
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:04,800
purpose. And you mentioned about the, the book revival, what you're talking about the, the, um,

60
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,440
large center revival and let it be in it. So the, every revival, it has to start from the bottom up,

61
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:18,800
not top down. And this particular book, I took 20 years to research and wrote this book. It was

62
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:25,600
published about two years ago and by God's grace, we sold about 8,000 copies. And the purpose of

63
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:32,160
this book is to bring back the restoration. Our God is a God of revival, but beyond that, our God

64
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,480
is a God of restoration. The purpose of restoration will come through the revival and the revival will

65
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:45,280
come only through prayer. So it is a clarion call for the believers to know their rights and

66
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:52,160
privileges to stand in the gap, fulfilling Ezekiel 20 to 30. If when we call on God, he will come

67
00:07:52,160 --> 00:08:00,400
down and also fulfilling second Chronicles 7, 14. When we seek his face, when we pray, when we humble

68
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:06,960
and we forsake all our wicked ways, he will come and heal this land, not only the physical land,

69
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,960
but heal the people and restore to himself. One of the interesting things I found in the book was

70
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:20,560
you explained the difference between revival and restoration. And so explain that to my viewers.

71
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Excellent. That's my favorite part of the book. So I want to comment on these particular words,

72
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:40,800
you know, restore, redeem, rebuild. So whenever you have a root word, if you had a re-r-e,

73
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,880
that means you're going back to your original position. So there was a building, it was destroyed.

74
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,480
When we say rebuild, we are bringing the building back to the original position.

75
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,000
The same way like a restructure, there was a big structure, monument structure, it was destroyed

76
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,160
by bomb or anything. When we say restructure, we are bringing back to the original position.

77
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:10,240
In the same way, redeem. Redeem means to have it. Somebody is, you know, in the pawn shop,

78
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:18,240
gold shop, they put the jewelry as a pawn, as a pledge, and they are not able to take it back.

79
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,600
So invariably the interest overtakes the principal amount, they lose the jewelry.

80
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,880
So another person comes, he paid fully and he redeems and bring back to the person. That means

81
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,800
the original position is restored. So in the same context, if we read the word

82
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:46,800
revive, that means why in Latin is called life. So once God has given us a life, we lost the life.

83
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:54,400
When we say revive, our spirit is revived back to the original position. So this is what

84
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:03,120
our church body is missing to know. Revival means it has to happen individually. When I am revived,

85
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,960
then my family is revived. When as a family, I come to the church, the church is revived.

86
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,040
When the church is revived, the community is revived. When the community is revived,

87
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,520
the nation is revived. So the revival is bottom up, not top down. And the revival,

88
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:25,920
in the revival, the condition of the hearts of the people completely change. The condition of the

89
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,120
heart of people will turn towards God like what we read in Malachi chapter four, the hearts of

90
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,840
the children will be turned back to the heart of the father. So that's what will happen in the

91
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:44,240
revival. So in the revival is a means to get the restoration. To restore things as they should be

92
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:54,800
as biblical order, which has been lost because of sin and all kinds of other things.

93
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:02,720
Exactly. And so your tour is both to, can I say like a Billy Graham crusade where the gospel will

94
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:11,760
be preached and many people will be stirred in their spirits and accept Christ. But even more

95
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:17,360
than that to remind Christians that we need to humble ourselves and pray. That's why the fasting,

96
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,520
you talked at one point, I saw some of your materials, a 12 hour fast, some other three

97
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,560
hour fast, some other meetings, probably no fast at all. In fact, talk to me about what people can

98
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:34,080
expect at this tour. And of course I want people to be able to go to your website and find out,

99
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,160
we're going to be showing some pictures and different things to give people an idea, but

100
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:45,920
some will be in churches, some in stadiums, some of the outdoors. What can people expect if they

101
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:54,160
come to one of your meetings? Yeah. So when it comes to restoration, restoring our time,

102
00:11:54,160 --> 00:12:00,880
restoring our health, restoring our honor, restoring our position, restoring all that was lost. So

103
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:08,240
that's the whole purpose of this meeting. So we have a three day, three hours meetings on most of

104
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:14,720
the days. And there are three Saturdays coming in the month of April. In those three Saturdays,

105
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:22,240
we have 12 hours fasting prayer from morning nine o'clock to evening nine PM. So there's a full fast,

106
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,000
people will come. Those who cannot have the full fast, they're also welcome. And in the 12 hours

107
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:35,200
period, there'll be a song and worship. There'll be teaching on prayer of commitment. And we are

108
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,400
going to go through the thanksgiving prayer, the prayer of repentance, the prayer of confession,

109
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:46,480
the prayer of the intercession and strong and the spiritual warfare prayer. That's where

110
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,360
George Wattis Jr., when he came to one of our meetings, he was blown away.

111
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Joseph, I teach on prayer. I conduct this, but I've never seen people who do this on a practical

112
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:06,560
way. He was totally spellbound when Brother Mohan C was leading on this three hours spiritual

113
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:14,720
warfare prayer. Individually, what is putting this country in slavery mentality, different aspects,

114
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,200
different mountains, you know, seven mountains concept, you may be very familiar. So the church,

115
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:28,480
the family, the education, the government, the media, the economy, arts and culture,

116
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:34,240
all the seven mountains, we'll call forth each and every seven mountain, what is holding in bondage.

117
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,920
And we are going to pray against these principalities. We are going to specifically stand

118
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:46,400
in Ephesians 6, 10 to 12, you know, all the rulings and the authorities, the powers of darkness

119
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,360
and the wicked spirits in the heavenly realm. We're going to fight against those strong men

120
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,840
binding this country. And we are going to pray for the prayer of blessing over this nation,

121
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:01,920
blessing in every, every state of the society, the people's and the peace, the joy and the

122
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:08,080
righteousness to be restored. And also believe for the Acts 9.31, the calmness and quietness,

123
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,360
the people lived in peace. So those are the things going to happen from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

124
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,400
And for three hours meetings, people are encouraged to fast those who can offer.

125
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:25,120
If not, they can come, it is not a mandatory, they can come and participate. In that, a shortened

126
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,400
version of the 12 hours prayer will happen, thanksgiving prayer and the prayer of intercession,

127
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:37,280
the supplication and asking forgiveness of God. We allowed this country to go to this level

128
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,440
for the abortion, the transgender, the sins of omission, the commission. All this will be

129
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:49,760
dealt, there will be teaching and leading the people in prayer. So one of the great things

130
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:56,480
happens in our meetings, Brother Stephen, is we don't expect the people to listen to the prayer.

131
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,040
We will make them to pray together. Bible never said, listen to the prayer, pray together. So we

132
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,920
will make that everybody will be collectively praying together, corporate prayer. That's why

133
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,480
we are trying to accomplish. And Brother Mohan C has been telling me in the last two, three weeks,

134
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:19,360
God is impressing in his heart so powerfully, there will be a clear cut marked difference

135
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:25,120
in the spiritual atmosphere after these 21 days prayer tour in this April 24.

136
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,400
So we are excited, we are believing God will do mighty things through these meetings.

137
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Outstanding. You know, a lot of new people will be watching this because you're sending this out to

138
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:43,120
your email list. We'll be putting it on our own platforms here at Charisma Media, on my own

139
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:50,640
platforms. So people who have not yet subscribed to my podcast, The Strang Report, it helps us

Tuesday and Thursdays, 4pm Eastern Daylight Time. I just wanted to put that in there.

142
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,600
But I want to do a deep dive on your book. You said this was 20 years in the making,

143
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,400
and people right now can get it on your website. So start by telling, in case people don't stay all

144
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,960
the way to the end, how they can get the book and find out more about your ministry and also find

145
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:27,600
out more about America Belongs to Jesus, you know, the brochure that I have here that lists all the

146
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:34,160
cities. There's a QR code. We'll try to edit this in so that the viewers have it. Starting in

147
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:41,040
Jamestown, Virginia, where the flag was, where the cross was first planted, as you said, all the way

148
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:47,840
through Florida, right in the middle, and then Las Vegas, Nevada, and finally in Los Angeles on the

149
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:56,640
22nd and 23rd. So how can people get your book? And then, you know, the book probably takes a

150
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:04,720
couple hours to read. And so we can only hit the high spots. You've already talked a little bit

151
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,720
about what you said was the most important point, the difference between revival and restoration,

152
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,240
which I think is something we need. And also the fact that each of us has a responsibility. This is

153
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:21,440
not something for other people to do, but we need to fast and pray. And I, for one, believe that God

154
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:29,840
is not done with America. America still has a role in the world. You know, the book of Revelation

155
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:36,480
talks about a lot of things happening, but there's things that still are yet to come. Jesus Himself

156
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:43,040
said that no man knows the day or the hour that He's going to return. And then the great

157
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:48,720
tribulation and all those other things that are happening. But regardless of what happens, which

158
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:58,560
we have no control over, we need people to accept Jesus, or else they will spend eternity

159
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:06,560
away from God in what we call hell. And so it's extremely important. It's not just to make America

160
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:14,880
a nicer place to live without a lot of the craziness that we see all around us, especially in

161
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:21,760
the news media and entertainment and so forth. If there is true repentance, one by one from the

162
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:29,600
bottom up instead of the top down, we will see changes in those things. And

163
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:37,280
I want my viewers to hear you, but I will make this comment. We hear stories. I remember stories

164
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:44,880
from the Welsh revival where the miners who were mining coal, which at the time was pulled by

165
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:51,760
donkeys because mechanization was just coming in, the donkeys didn't know what to do because the

166
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:58,160
miners were getting saved and they weren't swearing at them anymore. And that a lot of the bars and

167
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,880
so forth were actually shut down for lack of customers. And so we don't see that happen very

168
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,160
often, but that is an element of changing our culture. I realized that there is a culture war,

169
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:17,920
there are cultural warriors who want the culture changed really without repentance and restoration,

170
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:25,200
but as Christians, we know that that's the only answer. So that's my part. I want you to sort of

171
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:32,720
teach the book and mainly tell my viewers how they can get it. Okay. So about this book,

172
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:42,400
as Stephen mentioned, it took about 20 years to read different books on the revival and about

173
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:50,640
watching many hours of videos and seeking God, what to write, what to commit. And it was 600

174
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:57,920
page books, Stephen, and the publisher said it won't fly 600, let's make it to 272. And there

175
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:09,040
are so many historical nuggets. I literally had the harvest of those things and many of them I

176
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,880
listed. This is the only book you can find the spectrum of revival is covered from beginning to

177
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,840
the end. Normally we see in the world books, they'll take one particular Welsh revival or,

178
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:27,920
or Azusa's revival or even Pensacola revival, they will take and highlight the big points.

179
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:34,800
But this is the place where you'll find why we need a revival, the reason why we need a revival,

180
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:41,120
the purpose of revival, what are the circumstances that will go before a real revival happens.

181
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:49,280
By the way, I want to tell all the audience of a strong report from your side. There is a

182
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,160
hope for America. This is not the first time the history has seen this kind of problem.

183
00:20:54,160 --> 00:21:01,360
The history has gone through much more difficult times than this. But now we have remnant contending

184
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:06,480
for the revival. This country shall see the revival. That's for sure. That's a hope we have.

185
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:14,000
And if you really, if the viewers are reading the Bible now in Ezekiel 22, chapter 22,

186
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,720
we normally go straight to the verse. God is looking for one man who will stand in the gap

187
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:29,440
and intercede and God will not destroy the land. So, the destruction of the land is in my hands if

188
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:37,360
I don't pray. And the blessing of this land is in my hands if I obey and pray. So, God is not going

189
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:44,960
to go through our emotions. God is going to fulfill his blessings only through the obedience.

190
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:52,720
So, when we read 20 to 30, he is looking for one man. The circumstances before that

191
00:21:54,080 --> 00:22:02,800
is about seven circumstances strong. It will be surprising. In the same chapter, 22 verse to 29,

192
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:09,280
it talks about the false prophets. It talks about the false teachers. It talks about the wars.

193
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:19,200
It talks about the priest literally looting the church. The prophets telling people as if they

194
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:25,440
hear from God. God says, I never told you, but you told them. And the condition was conducive for the

195
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:33,920
destruction of God because the lawlessness was completely in full shape. So, the righteous God

196
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:41,680
wanted to destroy the land. But the loving side of God is telling, no, this is a generation I created.

197
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:48,000
There is a restoration. But I cannot give this restoration until somebody is asking me to intervene.

198
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:54,560
So, the book of Daniel says, God is interested in the affairs of the men on the earth.

199
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:00,720
So, God is telling, I'm looking for one person. I'm not looking for hundreds and thousands of

200
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,560
people. Every revival started with only one man and surrounded by the obedient people with the vision

201
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:13,760
and its spread. He talks about any revival in the history. The Reveals revival in Jeremiah Lansbury,

202
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:20,800
in New York, in a praying revival in Pensacola, Florida, John, Kilpatrick and Stephen Hill.

203
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:26,080
Your name is Stephen Hill. Stephen was there. They're both friends of mine and I was there

204
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,360
many times. So, it was a wonderful move of God. Wonderful move of God. I was there for seven days.

205
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:37,600
I was soaked in the presence of God. I remember Daniel Colanda was saved in that meeting. Now,

206
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:44,400
he's a part of Reynald Banke's ministry. He talked about Reynald Banke who did so many things in

207
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:51,360
Africa. Talk about John G Lake. One person went to Africa, paved the way for the revival to come.

208
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:56,160
John G Lake and we are talking about Jonathan Edwards. So, it all started with one man being

209
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:02,640
obedient to the voice of God. So, God is even now looking for one man who will obey his voice.

210
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:12,480
Another important thing, I think our viewers have to put in their mind. I believe Saint Augustine

211
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:22,640
told one time, without God, man cannot do anything on the earth and without man, God will not do

212
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:28,400
anything on the earth. This is the pivotal statement we had to take hold of as a believer.

213
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:36,000
Nothing on the earth in all the sovereignty of God, God will not do anything on the earth without

214
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:43,680
we invite him. Miles Monroe, I know, you know, brother Miles Monroe, he tells, his prayer is a

215
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:49,280
permission we give to God to come and intervene in our affairs. Even the very last prayer is

216
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:56,880
asking God to do what is happening in heaven to invade the earth. So, that happens only when I

217
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,920
specifically ask God. That's what the revival means. I repent for the sins,

218
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:11,040
truthfully, not lip service. Sometimes we ask, sorry, not with the real meaning,

219
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:17,360
you know, like lip service, but the true repented heart. I think in the words of George

220
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:25,360
Wattis Jr. he said, the true repentance, the humility is a concept of the revival. So,

221
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:31,440
that's what we are expecting will come when the people start reading the book. So, when as they

222
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,520
read it... Well, we have less than two minutes and you haven't told us yet your website. We'll try to

223
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:43,680
put it on the screen because I think it's important that people are able to find out more about this

224
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:49,920
America Belongs to Jesus Tour, but also get this important book that you've written. So, why does

225
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:56,480
your website, how could people connect and how can people pray for these important meetings?

226
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:04,400
Sure. So, the website is, I came up with a new website, kingdomexpressionministries.com.

227
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:11,760
Kingdomexpressionministries.com. You'll find at the back of the book, you know,

228
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:18,720
kingdomexpressionministries.com. And expression ends in an N with no S. So, it's expression,

229
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:27,360
not expressions. People should ministries.com. And people could also Google your name and find it

230
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:33,120
that way. Absolutely. And the name of the book is Lord Send a Revival and Let it Begin in Me. So,

231
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:38,240
as we wrap up, I want to give you the last word. I want to encourage people to share this with

232
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,840
friends who are interested in revival, praying for revival, people who want to support this ministry.

233
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,440
And then I'll give you the last word. Thank you, Brother Stephen, for having me on your podcast.

234
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:56,080
It's such a blessing again. And I want the viewers to pray for us as we travel across the country for

235
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,200
our health, for the anointing, for the unity of the believers when they come and join,

236
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:07,360
and the individual locations where the meetings are happening, the people will be flocking to pray

237
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:14,160
on the intercede for this nation. Believing and trusting we can bring Jesus back into the country,

238
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:20,640
declaring and proclaiming America belongs to Jesus. That is our heart. I want all the viewers and the

239
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:26,880
prayer warriors all over the country, whoever is going to listen to this, and please pray for all

240
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:33,840
these things that God will bring the restoration to America again. Well, thank you. And thank you,

241
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,760
and thank you, Joseph Manoharan, for being my guest today, for writing this important book.

242
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:45,120
