Angel of Awakening in the United States of America
By Lana Vawser
On
Wednesday morning, I had a vision where I saw a huge angel: He stood so
tall and so wide, and I saw him leave the throne room of Heaven on the Lord's
command and head toward the earth. I saw this angel come toward the nation of
the United States of America. As I watched, I saw it land with one of its feet
on the west coast and the other foot on the east coast.
When it
landed, between the span of his legs and his wings, the entire nation of the
United States was covered. Instantly, I felt the atmosphere get thick and heavy
in the most glorious way; the presence of God was so tangible.
And
again, instantly, the atmosphere around me was full of a
"commissioning" from the Lord for this angel to act upon that which
the Lord had sent him to do. I then heard these words that boomed with such
authority it would have crumbled mountains: "Angel of Awakening, act
and awaken."
Act: anything done, being done, or to be done; deed; performance: a heroic
act; a formal decision (www.dictionary.com).
Awaken: to waken (www.dictionary.com).
Suddenly
the angel began to flap his wings, and I could see that it was flapping its
wings in unison with the heartbeat of God. As he did, I heard the Lord speak, "Winds
of awakening. Winds of awakening. Winds of awakening." Everywhere I
looked there were whirlwinds being created all across the nation. These
winds of awakening were bringing a great shaking all across the nation. These
winds were shaking things up, and bringing a shifting and sifting.
As I
looked closely at these whirlwinds, I saw them coming from the four corners of
the nation, and they were all heading in one direction. It was as if these
whirlwinds were alive and knew exactly where they were headed and what they
were to do. They were on assignment.
These
whirlwinds of awakening were headed toward the churches, toward the people of
God. One thing
that stood out to me was that these whirlwinds were coming from different
directions and they were flowing in unison and in one accord.
I was
then filled with the sense, as this angel of awakening landed in the United
States, that the awakening which the Lord is ushering in will be a greater move
of His Spirit to bring unity within His Bride and in the nation.
It's Time
for the Dividing Walls to Come Down
As these
whirlwinds of the Spirit of God began to move through churches and the nation,
I heard the Lord speak again: "It's time for dividing walls to come
down. It's time for the dividing walls to come down."
I saw
these whirlwinds moving from heart to heart of God's people, church to church,
movement to movement, home church to home church, prayer group to prayer group,
and these whirlwinds would land at the "doors" of these hearts and
places. They did not enter in, they just stood there swirling, when suddenly in
the midst of the whirlwinds, I saw Jesus, beautiful Jesus. He was standing in
the midst of the whirlwinds, and His arms were outstretched and eyes full of
invitation. I then realized that there was an invitation being released from
the heart of Jesus to "welcome and align" with the winds of His
awakening, whatever shaking and shifting they may bring.
The
beautiful thing about these whirlwinds of awakening was they were coming from
His heart, they were of Him and full of such love, and they were
coming to bring His people and the nation further into encounters with His
love. I watched all across the nation as God's people embraced these whirlwinds
of awakening because they saw Him in them and knew they were being sent
from His heart.
As the
people of God said, "Yes," to these whirlwinds, I saw a tidal wave
begin to build. It was building and building and building, and it was gaining
pressure on the east coast of the United States. As I was watching it
gain more and more pressure, the atmosphere around me was then filled with this
sense that it was "waiting" for something.
"I
Have Seen Him! I Have Seen Him!"
As the
people of God were embracing the awakening winds of His Spirit, they were being
awakened to new levels of intimacy with Jesus. At this point, suddenly, I was
taken back into a dream I had where I saw the Bride of Christ standing on the
edge of a cliff; with her back to the cliff and with arms outstretched, she
fell backward off the cliff into the loving hands of a gloriously good Father.
In the dream I was surrounded with this beautiful, deep invitation from the
heart of God to His people to lay down agendas, lay down offenses, lay down
control, lay down questions, lay down fear, and just fall into the arms of a
good Father, even when you cannot "see" what's before you.
There is a
new level of invitation in the heart of God to free-fall in trust into deeper
levels of glorious intimacy with Him. As they fell back into the loving arms of
a good Father, a new level of rest, they were going deeper in surrender to
Jesus; I saw them then rising up, standing up as burning Bride! A burning
Bride! a burning Bride! The Bride was on fire! Burning, burning, burning,
burning with the fire of God's love. Burning like she had never burned before.
Her eyes were full of fire, and her eyes spoke the words, "I have
seen Him, I have seen Him, I have seen Him!"
Everywhere
she went, the sparks of the impartation of His love were being spread – onto
streets, into coffee shops, into malls, into schools, into governments, into
cities – releasing impartation and the manifestation of encounters with
the heart of God and the fire of His love, which was bringing cleansing,
purging, purifying, restoration, recompense, healing, and freedom everywhere
(people and cities) the fire was released.
As the
people of God were having deep encounters with the heart of God and the fire of
His love like they had never had before, I saw them reaching out to each other
all across the Body of Christ. Hands of repentance being extended, hands of
forgiveness being extended, hands of love being extended, awakened
hands that God's heart is for His children to work together,
extended.
Walls
that divided, walls that divided God's people for so long, broken through and
melted away. Religion, offense, and political offenses were being broken in
significant ways. I saw a huge spirit of offense, that has had its hands
locked over the nation of America for so long, beginning to lose its grip. It
was screaming in agony and pain as it was losing its hold to love.
Awaken
America, Beautiful One!
Where the
very fingerprints and hold this huge spirit of offense had, I saw
angelic hosts being released to stand in that very place, and they were
singing, "Peace to the borders. He brings PEACE to the borders" (see
Psalm 147:14). They stood on the borders of the nation and sung,
"Awaken America, beautiful one! Awaken America, beautiful one."
The words
then surrounded me from His heart: "The winds of awakening releasing
deeper radical encounters with the fire of My love being released in My Bride in
the United States of America is birthing and ushering in the greatest revival
of unity that has ever been seen before, but My winds of
awakening must be embraced. My winds of awakening must be
embraced. The greatest revival of unity and love is upon you.
Unity! Unity! Unity!"
Awakening
of Unity!
I then
noticed that every time the Lord spoke the word "unity,"
I saw the heart of the nation of the United States of America light up
and the words written across its heart "one nation under God."
I then realized that the Lord was highlighting that the unity of Believers
in the United States of America was affecting the heart. So, likewise,
the disunity of Believers in the United States of America was affecting
the heart. The unity of Believers in this nation was key to
bringing life and awakening destiny back into the heart of
the United States. (Photo via Flickr)
The
interesting thing was, as I watched this "reaching out" and letting
go of offenses on many levels (personal, political, and theological were
happening), I saw chains attached to many in the Body of Christ specifically
keeping them from their destiny that were suddenly breaking and a
catapulting was taking place and releasing them into their God-given destiny
that was orchestrated from the beginning of time.
As this
"reaching out of unity" was happening across the Body of Christ in
America, I was taken back to the tidal wave on the east coast, and it was
gaining more and more pressure and acceleration, when suddenly it burst
forth. This tidal wave spread right across the nation, from the east coast
to the west coast, and covered the entire nation.
"Be
Washed and Awakened"
I heard
the Lord speak again, "Be washed and awakened in My love. Be
washed and awakened in My love." The Lord was bringing a
deep cleansing, a deep purifying, a deep alignment, a deep awakening across
the entire nation of the United States as His people moved forward in
unity. Unity was a key to seeing a great move of God
across the nation.
As I
watched the tidal wave of His love being released across the nation, I saw Hosea
3:5 flowing in the waters:
"Afterward
the sons of Israel will return and seek the Lord their God and David their
king; and they will come trembling to the Lord and to His goodness in the last
days."
The sense
surrounded me that the greatest move of God, the greatest awakening, was right
before this nation, despite the darkness already surrounding it or to come in
the nation of the United States. The Lord was about to make His goodness known louder
and brighter than ever, and this was a strategic moment that the
people of God needed to decide once and for all whether they were going to take
their place, or continue to go "to and fro."
I was
then taken back to the heart of the nation, and I heard it crying again like I
did in a previous encounter I had, and I realized it was
crying out for the sons and daughters to rise up in unity and in love across
the nation, because as that happened, it was bringing life back to the heart,
and bringing a healing to the land.
Outstretch
Your Hands and Heal the Land
Where
there was an embracing of the winds of awakening and an outstretching of
"hands for unity," I heard the words, "Outstretch your hands
and heal the land."
I then
had this sense that the Lord was wanting to heal the land in two ways:
1.
Intercession, repentance, blessing of the land ("If My people, which are
called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and
turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14).
2. The
"stretching out of hands" to other brothers and sisters in Christ, no
more offense, and to pioneer and work together in love.
The key
to #2 was embracing the winds of awakening being released right now. The
people of God would move deeper into John 15:1-11:
"I
am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that
does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit He
prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word
that I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you
abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in
him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
If anyone
does not abide in Me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the
branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in Me,
and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My
disciples. As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide in My love.
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My
Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you,
that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."
And
from that place of awakening in intimacy with Him happening right across
the nation, John 15:12 was going to manifest in greater ways:
"This
is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love
has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are
My friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for
the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you
friends, for all that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. You
did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and
bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the
Father in My name, He may give it to you. These things I command you, so that
you will love one another."
Ancient
Gates, Wells, and Doorways
Ancient
gates, wells, and doorways that have been locked because of a spirit of
offense that has come into the Body of Christ in the nation of the United
States for generations were beginning to be swung open, redug, and broken open
by the awakening of love that was happening amongst them and repentance taking
place on an individual and corporate level across the nation. As these ancient
gates, wells, and doorways were being unlocked, a healing move of God was
released through the Church and into the nation in ways that had never been
seen before. (Photo by Robert Bartow "Open the Gates" via elijahshopper.com)
A Kathryn
Kuhlman type anointing was being released across the Body of Christ and into
the nation. A huge revival amongst God's people and into the nation birthed
from intimacy with Him, signs and wonders exploding all around, bringing
transformation to the nation.
I then
heard words booming from His heart:
"United
States of America, the one I love, the one marked by love and for love, you are
Mine!"
America,
you are a nation that is about to be marked by the love of God in ways you have
never imagined as the people of God embrace all that He is doing. United States
of America, your destiny is to know His love and be a great representation
of His love to other nations. You will represent His love to other
nations as the Body of Christ rises up in alignment with all He
is saying and doing amongst you.
A great
awakening is upon the nation of the United States of America, and it is going
to come through the people of God, as they say "yes" to
Him.
Shocked
Back to Life by the Love and Goodness of God
As these
winds of awakening are being embraced by the people of God in this beautiful
nation, I saw lightning bolt strikes being sent into the heart of the nation.
The heart of the nation being shocked back to life by the love
and goodness of God! God loves the United States! God is not done
with the United States of America!
Church of
America, a great awakening is upon you! The greatest awakening! The awakening
of the fire of His love and goodness all across the nation. It's
time to take your place! Do whatever business you have to do with God and with
others, get in your rightful place, for you have a part to play: You are a
key in what God wants to do in this nation.
Not only
are these whirlwinds of awakening going to awaken you to an intimacy with Him
you have never known before, the fire of His love, but they will activate and
awaken your destiny in whole new ways. It's time for the United States to be
set on fire by the fire of His love and goodness. Don't be discouraged by the
darkness; fire burns bright in darkness.
This
is your time! It is time!
