The message below came after reading, studying, and explicating Isaiah 58 with much prayer and fasting. The initial reading and studying began on Wednesday, 2 July; then I was called back to the passage on Thursday, 3 July and began a deeper study to explicate the message as it spoke to our times. Finally, on Friday, 4 July, God gave me the message below which has been confirmed by many people and situations. Praise be to God! Our nation is at a turning point, a cross roads. If we will read, ingest, and act upon God’s message, we may again be called One Nation Under God; we may once again look at our neighborhoods as God’s stopping grounds.
You are my watchman to cry out my message. Show them the rebellion and sin against God. The nation is no longer submitting under God’s precepts. One Nation Under God? They have now become one nation, so far under the standards God has set; one nation woefully under God’s plumb line.
God is calling for His people to fast, but not a fast from food; a fast from yourself. Die to yourself and let God live through you. It is not in your natural strength and power you will do these, by yourself you are too weak; it is through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. He desires not a fast of food, you need your body strong, so you will be able to do God’s will. In fasting from yourself, you must not only recognize these, but you must allow the Holy Spirit to move you to personally do something about these; the hungry, the homeless, the naked; you must not turn and hide from your neighbor, you must fulfill the whole law in this one word, love your neighbor as yourself.
If you will do this, I will shine My light on you, I will give you a strong and healthy body, I will extend your righteousness before you to give you favor with those you have yet to meet, I will be glorified through you, when you look to Me you will find Me, I will be there even before you call me in your earliest angst, I will give you detailed clarity, I will guide you, I will be your sustenance when there is lack, I will provide all your needs, I will make you fruitful, I will make you a welcomed and refreshing presence without end.
And you will not be alone. I will draw together all those that have this mind (*as many flames burning each in their place spreading out until they meet as one), and through them will the bankruptcy of your nation be turned around back to the great foundations of your past generations. I will give you a new name, Rebuilder of My Shield and the Restorer of My Neighborhood.
