AzusaNow and UnitedCry - Unity and Healing of the
Nations! -TwoPrayer Events Held Last Weekend on Opposite Coasts in the U.S.
A Vision of: AZUSANOW and THE UNITY OF GOD'S
PEOPLE WORLDWIDE RELEASING HEALING TO THE NATIONS!
As I sat and watched AzusaNow on Livestream, I was
overwhelmed by the presence of God and what He was doing amongst His people and
for the nation of the USA and beyond. What a strategic, monumental moment in
history this event was.
I joined in with thousands of people in raising our
voices to Heaven in worship, crying out for the Lord to move powerfully in the
USA and the nations. All in ONE ACCORD, whether there or watching on livestream,
the Lord was doing a DEEP work.
In the middle of worship in one part of the day, I
felt His presence so close to me, and He leaned in, like a friend, to share His
heart and He spoke to me:
"You know Lana, today isn't as much about revival as
it is about UNITY!"
Native American, African American, Jewish, black,
White, Gentile, Catholics, Protestants, men, women, young and old, all the
countries and nations represented.
The Lord began to explain to me that the USA is in a
great awakening and that this is the time of revival, but the Lord was revealing
and birthing a KEY at Azusa Now... and that key was UNITY!!
He spoke to me about the PROPHETIC PICTURE that
AzusaNow was to the nations. A picture of the UNITY that He is bringing to His
Body that is releasing FIRE TO THE NATIONS!!!! He is birthing reconciliation,
redemption and revival FROM the place of UNITY.
Instantly I was taken into a vision, and I saw the
people of God in ALL the nations across the earth beginning to "join together"
in whatever form that takes, crying out to the Lord, moving forward in
repentance, being woven together by the love of God IN ONE ACCORD. The Lord is
birthing greater MOVEMENTS of PRAYER and UNITY all across the world and it is
increasing SIGNIFICANTLY in this season. From people meeting together in houses,
to stadiums and everything in between, the Lord is bringing UNITY.
The Holy Spirit is leading His people in this
season to really deal with past hurts, any divisions, and moving forward in
repentance and forgiveness that is being birthed from the place of encountering
His love.
"How truly wonderful, delightful, and beautiful to
see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! It is as precious as
the anointing oil flowing from the head of the High Priest, Aaron, dripping down
upon His beard, and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes.
This heavenly harmony can be compared to the dew dripping down from the skies
upon Mount Hermon, refreshing the mountain slopes of Israel. For FROM this realm
of sweet harmony, God will release His eternal blessing, the promise of life
forever!" (Psalm 133:1-3)
Healing of the Nations
As this movement of deep unity is happening across
the world in the Body of Christ, I saw the Lord commanding His angelic hosts to
the nations. They were flying towards the nations and they had LEAVES in their
hands. They landed in the nations and began to lay the leaves on the land and
the heart of the nations. As I watched it reminded me of putting Aloe Vera on a
sunburn. There was such a soothing, such a healing, such a comfort, such a
release that the Lord was releasing.
"On either side of the river was the tree of life,
bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of
the tree were for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22:2
In this great movement of unity that the Lord is
birthing (as we, the people of God, all across the world JOIN TOGETHER in unity
in our day to day lives and in corporate ways), as we cry out together in prayer
and move forward in repentance individually and corporately – revival and
awakening is taking place and with HEALING OF THE NATIONS!
As these angelic hosts laid the leaves upon the land
and heart of nations, the soothing and healing was beginning to take place, but
I also saw things LEAVING nations. There was great DELIVERANCE happening in the
USA and across the nations of the world.
AzusaNow was a monumental, history-making day for the
United States of America, praise Jesus! AzusaNow was not only a ground breaking
day in the Spirit for this beautiful nation, but a prophetic picture for the
Body of Christ across the world, in other nations. His heart manifested that day
what His heart is crying out for... UNITY that will see the greatest move of His
Spirit and revival released across the earth.
The Lord also showed me that AzusaNow also released a
MAJOR WORLDWIDE impartation to all there, all who watched, and those who WANT IT
across the world. An impartation of fire and divine DNA for UNITY to be awakened
across the nations.
I saw the Lord BREATHING and BLOWING INTO and THROUGH
the AzusaNow event that was awakening and birthing new and deeper movements of
prayer all across the nations. It was birthing new moves and adding increase,
fire, revelation and wisdom into those that are already established.
Whether you were there, whether you were able to
watch or not... ASK the Lord for the impartation of what He released to be given
to you. Then believe you have received it, and then get ready to birth!
It's time! It's time for the Church to UNITE! It's
not "coming", it is HERE!! We just need to keep saying YES and then watch and
see what He is going to do IN and THROUGH YOU!!
This is YOUR time!
This is OUR time! Nations, it's YOUR time to see the
HEALING and RESTORATION of a GOOD GOD as God's people ARISE AND SHINE in
UNITY!!

"Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity..." (Psalm 133)
This
past Saturday, there were two major prayer-related events that were
vitally important to America: UnitedCry DC16 and AzusaNow2016. (Photo: Aimee Herd-BCN)
They
happened on opposite coasts and differing layouts, but were linked both
electronically—via the internet—and (most importantly) in heart.
That heart and spirit was one of unity; of coming together as the whole Body of Christ.
And
while I've noticed that some Christian family members (likely not
attendees of the events) seem quite content remaining fractured, they
should remember that it is God's own desire that we Believers become
one. (Photo: UnitedCry DC16 Facebook page)
Perhaps the motto that is the DNA of this country says it most succinctly; "E Pluribus Unum" (out of many, one).
Jesus prayed for this as He knew what lay ahead, not just for Himself
but also for His followers. Just before His arrest in John chapter 17,
Jesus prayed to His (and our) Father, first for His Disciples and then
for all who come to Him and believe:
"I
do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me
through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me,
and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may
believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given
them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me;
that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that
You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me." (John
17:20-23) (Screengrab via AzusaNow Livestream/YouTube)
This is the prayer of One who knew He was about to die. In that
circumstance, I'd say you're going to pray the thing that is most
important; you're going to say the words you really want your friends
and family to remember.
During
UnitedCry DC16, pastors and other Christian leaders from all
backgrounds gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in a solemn assembly of
unity, addressing and praying over the racial tensions throughout the
country, as well as issues like abortion, same-sex marriage and the
brokenness of families, according to a report by Christian Today. (Photo courtesy Alveda King)
UnitedCry DC16 was reportedly a precious and powerful time of
"repentance, sanctification and racial reconciliation" that even
included a footwashing between Christian leaders of various
races—including members of Dr. Martin Luther King's family; and a
"mantle passing ceremony."
One of the pastors taking part, Bishop Harry Jackson, commented, "We
are in a time where there is a desire by the forces of darkness to rip
asunder our unity, dignity and cause strife. We want to focus on
honoring the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and inspire others to
be bridges of hope."
At
the same time, some 3,000 miles away, AzusaNow was taking place in the
LA Coliseum, where many cultures, races, denominations, and generations
came together to pray for unity in the Body of Christ, and to worship
the Lord in that same spirit of family. (Photo: Aimee Herd-BCN)
I was not present at UnitedCry, but I imagine the atmosphere was the
same, as at AzusaNow—which I did attend—where the unity was palpable,
tangible, and every attendee-stranger and speaker with whom I came in
contact had the same expression of love.
Will
these events make a difference in America? They already are, evidenced
by the fact that a very secular, highly-esteemed magazine has taken
notice, putting Jesus on the cover of Newsweek! (Photo: Courtesy/via Charisma)
I've read many comments regarding these events from Believers who did
not attend, and who seem to feel their calling is to call into question
(or openly mock) almost every aspect of them—from the lighting and
intensity of the music, to the playing of cultural drums, to the fact
that there was a stage at all (though I'm not sure how anyone would be
able to see what was going on if there wasn't).
What
they all overlook is the incredible God-blessed unity in Jesus' name
that was present from coast-to-coast because of these events... if only
for a day. But it's a beginning. (Photo: Aimee Herd-BCN)
As a parent, I can say I am RADICALLY BLESSED AND HAPPY when I see my
two children getting along, and working together with one heart of love
toward themselves and others.
Doesn't
Father-God feel the same way? Can we not lay aside things that don't
matter in the scope of eternity for the things that do? (Screengrab via AzusaNow Livestream/YouTube)
I close with Jesus' words again, because who could say it better?
"O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I
have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have
declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with
which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them." (John 17:25-26)

Jennifer LeClaire is now sharing her reflections and revelations through Walking in the Spirit. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
The winds blew and the rains fell on TheCall Aszua Now, but that
didn't stop tens of thousands of people from weathering the storms at
the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the same venue where Billy Graham
preached the gospel to over 134,000 in 1963.
If anything, the
adversity intensified the determination of the masses to cry out to God
in what became for 15 hours an outdoor house of prayer in the heart of
California.
"William Seymour, the catalyst of that great revival,
prophesied in 1913 that in roughly 100 years another revival far
eclipsing Azusa would come," says Lou Engle, founder of TheCall. "The
fulfillment of Seymour's word is overdue ... or right on schedule. Let
us therefore "pray for the rain in the time of the latter rain." Who
knows? Maybe like those who were baptized in the Spirit in the original
Acts 2 upper room, we will say, "This is that which was spoken by
William Seymour the prophet!"
Of course, Seymour wasn't there and
Graham wasn't there, but Christ for All Nations' Daniel Kolenda
preached the gospel and, instead of George Beverly Shea, a new breed of
worshippers—including Bethel Live, Eddie James and Roy Fields—lifted up
praises to Jesus. Although the final count isn't in and the stadium
wasn't full because of the miracle rain that drenched a city in drought,
some say there were between 60,000 and 75,000 people at this historic
event that aligned with the 110th anniversary of the Azusa Street
outpouring.
Cindy Jacobs, co-founder of Generals International,
released a prophesy that caused a roar from the stadium stands: "This is
that which the prophets foretold. I'm getting ready to open up the
greatest generation of young evangelists the world has ever known."
Dutch
Sheets, the founder of the Appeal to Heaven Movement, took the stage to
tell the world—multiplied thousands were watching the live stream on
GodTV—that God is not done with America. He told the story of how God
revealed a new strategy for prayer that is sweeping the nation. "Today's
15-hour gathering to worship and pray was epic. Lot of great moments
from Asuza Now gathering in Los Angeles."

Indeed,
social media were ablaze with the #azusanow hashtag as praying
believers found inspiration in gathering together to literally act out 2
Chronicles 7:14.
Sean Fuecht, founder of the 24/7 Burn movement, insists "history cannot ignore this sound."
"The
course of my life was changed at 16 while lying face down, weeping in
the grace on the Mall in D.C. during the first Call gathering. I've
joined with many others in this dramatic storyline ever since," he says.
"A movement was born in my heart that day. I believe the same happened
for countless thousands ... on the 110-year anniversary of Azusa. Let it
begin."
Jeff Jansen, founder of Global Fire Ministries, says he
believes Azusa Now was one of the most significant events of the past
few decades.
"As we were driving on Interstate 5 to the Azusa Now event on April 9, I saw a large, gold angel standing over LA," Jansen says.
"The Lord said, 'Just as the 1849 gold rush drew people to California
... So 4/9 2016 will mark a new gold rush of divine proportion that will
once again draw the nations into revival."
Joshua Mills, a recording artist, author and revivalist, says he
witnessed the ignition of a worldwide move of God. "I saw healing
miracles happening and lives being changed by simply the hand of God
resting on entire groups of people," Mills says. "I believe Azusa Now
was the beginning, and now it will continue to unfold for those who were
touched by that moment of glory."
So where do we go from here?
I'm declaring right now that awakening is here, and it's coming. Azusa
Now wasn't the only prayer event on April 9. United Cry gathered 30,000
pastors in Washington, D.C. There was an Azusa event in Houston and
thousands of people watching, praying and agreeing in churches, prayer
rooms and homes across America. Reset America will gather tens of
thousands on the Mall in D.C. to cry out to God again.
I believe
April 9 was a day of demarcation in America. It was a show of
desperation and unity in the church. Prophetically, it was a shot heard
around the world. Will we immediately see the impact of this historic,
or as many are calling it, "epic" event? Probably not, but something
shifted in the spirit in the City of Angels on Saturday. If you could
pull back the curtain on the realm of the spirit, I believe you would
have seen an intensified war in the heavens—and we're winning that war.
On April 21, 2007, the Lord woke me up at midnight, and I sensed Him offering this prophetic word:
There
is a great awakening coming to this nation. For I have heard your
cries, and I long to heal your land. I am a covenant God, and I will not
forget the covenant I made with your Founding Forefathers. Yes, there
will be a shaking, but the foundations will not crack, and they will not
crumble. Only those things which can be shaken will be shaken that the
sin in the land may be laid bare.
Repentance. I require
repentance from My people who have through the generations allowed the
enemy to take ground in this nation. I require repentance for the
abortions and for the prayerlessness. I require repentance for the
apathy and for the idolatry. You shall have no other gods before me. I
am indeed the God of America.
Yes, there is a great
awakening coming to this nation. I am the Author of it and I will bring
it to pass. Just turn from your wicked ways and humble yourselves. Stand
in the gap and make up the hedge. I am the Lord and I am a Warrior. I
will not leave or forsake this country. I will fight through you and
with you to regain what has been lost.
Be encouraged now,
because as you go forth boldly with My Word and My Spirit, there will be
the sound of truth and it will prevail in the land. Speak boldly and
clearly and watch as the mighty men arise to take their positions on the
wall and in the churches and in the marketplaces. For I am raising up
deliverers and reformers in this generation who will not shrink back at
the challenge that is coming in the days ahead.
Yes, it
will grow darker before My light shines brightly from this nation again.
But the light has not been extinguished and will not be extinguished.
The time to rise up is now. I am calling you to war. I am calling you to
repentance. I am calling you to My side. I am the captain of the hosts.
I am calling you to victory. I am calling you to destiny. Will you
answer?
On April 9, I believe we answered. And I believe we are standing at the door of transforming revival in America.
