Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
PRAYING FOR YOUR NATION ; WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CHRISTIANS' REFUSE TO PRÀY FOR THEIR NATIONS.
I exhort therefore, that, first of all,supplications, prayers, intercessions,and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

After the final service of our Campmeeting ’79, some of the speakers and others went up to Kenneth Hagin Jr.’s hotel suite for sandwiches. As we were talking about the things of God, the Spirit of God kept moving on me. (Actually, only three times in my life has the Spirit moved on me in such a measure.).
I said to the others, “Let’s pray. The Spirit of God keeps moving on me.”
We prayed. By the Spirit, I ministered to each one present. Then I was caught up in the spirit of prayer. For lack of a better term, I was “lost in the spirit.” I was not unconscious — but I was more conscious of spiritual things.
Spiritual things were more real than the natural.
I sat with my eyes shut, praying in tongues, for what proved to be several hours. (It was just after midnight when we started praying. When it was all over and I opened my eyes, it was after 4 a.m. Yet it seemed as if it had been only 10 or 15 minutes.).
The Lord spoke to me. Among other things, He gave me instructions concerning the Prayer and Healing School we are now holding every weekday on the RHEMA Bible Training Center campus.

And I saw something. I saw three things coming up out of the Atlantic Ocean. They looked like three giant black frogs as large as whales. One was in midair. The other two had just stuck their heads up out of the water from the east.
I had seen something similar nine years before.Jesus said to me, “You saw the same thing in 1970. I told you then exactly what they were, but you didn’t do what you should have done about it. I told you back in 1970 to pray for the leaders of the nation. What happened [Watergate and so forth] isn’t all the fault of the man who was than President.
I am going to hold the Christians of this nation responsible. You are the ones who allowed what happened to your nation. If you had prayed, it never would have happened. I showed you what was about to happen. Go back and check... .”
(Later, I went back and checked what the Lord had said to me in 1970 from tapes and manuscripts of a special meeting we held in October 1970.).

Jesus said to me, “Back in 1970, you saw three similar dark objects come up out of the Atlantic and leapfrog all the way across the land. If you and the Christians had done what you should have done, none of those things would have happened to your nation. You would not have had the riots. You would not have had the political disturbances. Your President would not have made the mistakes he made. In fact, I am holding the Church responsible for his mistakes.”
I began to weep and cry, “Oh, God!”
“Yes,” He said, “I am holding you and the Church responsible.”
Then He said, “When you tell that to some of the Christians, they will laugh. But when they stand before my judgment seat and they receive the condemnation rather than the man who was then President, they won’t laugh.
“If Christians had done what I told them to do in the Bible — if they had prayed for the leaders of their nation — they would have kept the evil spirits from operating.”
Then He continued, “Similar things — not the same things — but similar things are about to happen again. If you do not pray, they will happen. I am not going to hold the President responsible for the nation; I am going to hold the Christians of the nation responsible.”

Now let me explain something — you have to know how to interpret these things. I saw those three creatures come up out of the Atlantic Ocean. But that doesn’t mean they rise out of the ocean. From Genesis to Revelation, “seas” and “waters” refer to a multitude of people. Out of the multitude of people, these things will rise up. Sinners are dominated by the devil; they’re in his kingdom.Jesus said, “There will arise, unless the Christians pray — not for the same purpose that the other riots came — but there will be riots, tumults, and disturbances all across the nation.
“Second, something is about to happen to the President that should not happen — and will not happen if you will pray.
“Third, something is about to happen again that will bring further trouble in the economic scene, the financial structure.
“But you can stop all three. You can stop the upheaval in the social structure. You can stop the upheaval and the activity of the devil in the
political scene. You can stop the devil from disrupting the financial scene of your nation.
“You can change all three through intercessory prayer. That’s one of the main purposes for the classes you are going to start in the fall.”
