Munday Martin: We Are Being Awakened


The following is a word by Munday Martin. Munday is a powerful evangelist who moves in complete humility. I share this word because he describes much of what I have been seeing and sensing but he does in such an articulate way. I encourage all of you to read this and to pray it forth during your times of intercession.

We are in the midst of a major shift in the United States of America.
Acts 2 promises when God pours out His Spirit, "young men shall see visions." I know this is true, because 12 years ago, I was one of those young men in Nashville, Tennessee, lost in despair. God gave me a vision of Heaven and Hell that caused me to repent from my backsliding and come to Christ with a radical evangelical calling. God is about to release these types of encounters on mass scale to the lost sheep of America. Church, begin to decree them. It is time, as sons and daughters of God, to, "Decree a thing and it will be established" (Job 22:28).
Believers, knowing their seat of authority, are being awakened. We are entering into the time of the Greatest Awakening that America has ever seen. I am ready for it! No matter what is happening in the economy, the political world, or the educational system...light is about to shine the brightest when times are getting the darkest.
We as American Believers often hear about how God is mightily moving in other nations. Thereafter, there seems to linger in our minds a stigma that God moves more in other nations than He does in America. However, I can honestly say that some of the greatest miracles I have ever witnessed have been right here in the United States of America. I believe this is the hour where America is going to begin to see many more people raised from the dead, spiritually and physically. As I pondered on this, the Lord told me, "Sleeping beauty is about to awaken in America at this hour."
God's love is going to so awaken culture around us that even many of the stars are going to be swept into the Kingdom in Hollywood!
At this hour, competition in the Church will have to end because it simply cannot bear fruit that will remain. A culture of honor will have to be implemented instead in churches all over this great nation. No ministry will be able to showcase the miracles that happened yesterday, because so many miracles will be happening today in a generation that the Lord is raising up quickly in the glory.
Paradigm shifts of how we view ministry are changing. It will not just be people in full-time vocational ministries leading this awakening, it will be people in every sphere of influence in the marketplace, and all the margins of society will feel the vibrations. Many lost in the mires of deep sin in the media and social networking world are going to hear the Gospel and become new creations after hearing the Good News, turning from their sins and submitting their lives to Jesus Christ. Resources are coming to the Body of Christ in Jesus' name to make this happen!
"The American Church Is Simply Getting Back Something That Rightfully Belongs To Us"
What was the previous state of America during the first Great Awakening? This paragraph taken from Wake Forest University's website states, "The Great Awakening was a watershed event in the life of the American people. Before it was over, it had swept the colonies of the Eastern seaboard, transforming the social and religious life of land. Although the name is slightly misleading – the Great Awakening was not one continuous revival, rather it was several revivals in a variety of locations – it says a great deal about the state of religion in the colonies. For the simple reality is that one cannot be awakened unless you have fallen asleep."
God is going to shed light on anything that has distracted us from seeing world evangelism spread like wild fire. The Church is about to get back to the basics. It is time to go make fishers of men, not just keepers of the aquarium. To put it plainly, the American Church is simply getting back something that rightfully belongs to us. The Gospel of power is winning the lost to Christ much like what the disciples carried at the day of Pentecost.
Healing, miracles, signs, wonders, and salvations will follow the preaching of the Gospel! Just as in the days of The Great Awakening, it will not be limited to one region or city. It will be cities all over! It will be a restoration of the day of Pentecost where in one day 3,000 believed in Jesus; so shall these "one day occurrences" happen again. We are getting ready to see in one day many ministries reporting, "In one day, we saw thousands of salvations!"
The Bible says, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38).
Now we know this about Christ, and we love it! But do we know we can have it too? Much of the Body does not realize that Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father" (John 14:12).
The greater works are now here. He is getting us ready for global harvest glory. It is for reaching the lost! It will sweep the arts, and it will sweep through entertainment! We are getting ready to see stadiums filled again as in the days of Billy Graham's early ministry. There will be altar calls for salvation, as well as baptisms of fire and the Holy Spirit. It will be tongues of fire, shakings, healings, signs, wonders, and miracles pouring out on young and old! Music will be a major key in this awakening. Songs will be written that will cause Believers to make history, causing a Jesus revolution.
Just as in the days of John the Baptist, John was a forerunner preparing the way of the Lord. God said, "Watch the Scripture; as John the Baptist said, "I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh...He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire" (Luke 3:16).
God says, "The forerunners have FAITHFULLY done their job, and the changing of the guard is upon us. I am raising up an emerging army of youth filled with grace and truth. There will come at this time the 'mighty ones,' and He (the Lord Jesus Christ) will baptize this nation of America, in stadiums, with the Holy Ghost and fire! America, a media revival is upon you...and THE STADIUMS WILL BE FILLED AGAIN...this time, with fire!"
Watch Where There Is Drought Upon the Land, For That Is Where You Will See Wild Fires in the Spirit
Drought upon the land: Watch, even the places where drought has been ravaging the land; it is there that you will see this baptism of God's fire pour out and the wild fires will break out in the Spirit!
We all know that California's economy has suffered tremendously from forest fire damage in the past decade, and from water drought, but God says He is purging this state and getting ready to ignite the State of California again in a dry and thirsty land! It will be again! Even in the same city where the Azusa Street Revival occurred, there will be another Revival of Los Angeles. Many in the sphere of Hollywood will see a new movement in media! They will see their actor friends come to the Lord. They will see producers of films turn to Christ, musicians of bands, and even a subculture of body pierced and tattooed lost boys and girls will all begin to call upon the name of the Lord. Homosexuals will be delivered and turn to Christ. Gangster rappers! Country stars! In this time, many will come to the knowledge of Jesus. There is a Greater Awakening upon us, there is a greater Jesus movement on the horizon!
I see parking lots of concert venues being filled with young people leading a new healing revival in the streets. I see people flocking to California again as in the summer of love, but this time not for drugs, not for new age, but because they hear JESUS IS MOVING IN CALIFORNIA, San Francisco, Redding, Los Angeles, Orange County, Palm Springs, Anaheim and surrounding cities! This time they will come not to find drugs but to find out how to be free from them; not to find perversion, but how to be free from it; not to find a lover, but to find the Lover of their souls – the Lord Jesus Christ!
"The western U.S. is getting ready for a great move of My Spirit," says the Lord.
Nevada it is your time! Arizona it is your time!
There will come mighty ones, and HE (The Lord Jesus Christ) will baptize people publicly all over America in the stadiums, and in a Media Revival, with the Holy Ghost and with fire.
We say YES to it, Jesus, in Your precious name.
