Who gave you the power to annul the Word of the Almighty?


Concerned about the candidates running for office. Concerned about our country, concerned about your future?

Saw this clip a number of weeks ago, and it's deserving of EVERYONE'S attention. EVERYONE'S.......NOW.

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn is addressing the Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC, a few weeks ago, with a wonderful Word for them/and us all.
It's a 14 minute clip, but by the time you finish it you will lhave your shout going on, and a song of victory.
YOU, WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.

You may access the clip by going HERE.

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.
II Chronicles 7:14

For those who may not have capability to run a video to view, I have it transcribed here:

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
National Day of Prayer 2016
Washington D. C.

Who gave you the power to annul the Word of the Almighty?


Let’s rise for a moment.
The sacred gatherings of Israel were heralded by the sounds of the shofar, and this is a sacred gathering.  Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, and call a solemn assembly.  Gather the people, assemble the elders, cry aloud, do not hold back, lift up your voice like a trumpet.
(Rabbi Cahn then put on his shawl over his head and blew the shofar)

This is the sound of God’s power, as we pray for America, Amen.
You may be seated.

Why are we here?  386 years ago, a ship called the “Arbella” journeyed across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. Aboard that ship was John Winthrop, who had penned the founding vision of the civilization to be known as America.  “If we would follow the ways of God,” he wrote, “then the Lord would be our God, and a light to dwell among us as His own people and command a blessing on us, on all our ways.  He shall make us praise and a glory, for we must consider that we shall be as a city on a hill. “

America was to be a city on a hill to which the eyes of all the people would look.  The vision would come true.  America would become the most blessed, powerful and prosperous nation the world has ever seen.  A city on a hill and a praise and a glory in the Earth.

In the history of the world only two civilizations came into existence on the solitary foundation of God’s calling and purposes.  The first was called Israel.  The second was called America.  In fact, the founding vision of America was based on the template of ancient Israel, but in the days of her blessing, Israel turned away from God and His ways, from the God of her blessings. They drove Him out of it’s government, out of it’s culture, out of it’s national life.  It celebrated the ways of godlessness and lifted up it’s children on the altars of Ba’al and Moloch, and called what was evil good and what was good evil. 

So too, America, in her blessing, has turned from the God of her blessings.  The city on the hill that was founded for the purposes of God, now drove God out of it’s government, it’s culture, it’s public squares.  The city on the hill that was dedicated to the glory of God now glorified ungodliness and call evil good and good evil.  The city on the hill that was consecrated to be a light to the nations, now lifted up it’s most innocent and helpless and slaughtered them on the altars of self-obsession and it’s collective hands are covered with the blood of millions.

The city on a hill has grown darkened, it has forgotten the God of it’s foundation. The temples of it’s culture have become expunged of His presence, and are now filled with idols in His place.  It’s forgotten the warning of it’s foundation, the warning embedded in the vision of the city on the hill, for it was also prophesied; if our hearts should turn away so that we will not obey, but shall be seduced to worship other gods, our pleasures, our prophets and serve them, we shall surely perish.

In other words, if we do so, we shall stand at the precipice of judgment. The city on the hill has also forgotten the warning given by it’s first president.  Prophetic warning given in his first speech, on America’s first day as a constituted nation, it was said:  “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the Eternal Rules of Order and Right, which Heaven itself has ordained.

In other words, if America ever disregarded the Eternal Rules of Order and Right, ordained by God, the blessings of God would be removed from the land.

Ten months ago, in this city named after the one who gave that warning, America disregarded the Eternal Rules of Order and Right that Heaven itself had ordained as it’s highest courts struck down the very order of God. And the day it did so was a Biblical day.  It was the 9th of Tamer, the ancient day of mourning that commemorates  the day that the nations hedge of protection was removed in the approach of judgment.  So it must be asked, this day, Supreme Court Justices, where did you get the authority to overrule the rulings of the Most Hight?  And by what authority did you strike down the laws of the Eternal? And who gave you the power to annul the Word of the Almighty and pass judgment on the Judge of all existence?  You are neither the highest court nor the final authority.  There is a Supreme Judge Who wields a Supreme Justice that will not sleep forever.  And Mr. President, did you not lay your hand on the Word of God to assume the oath of your presidency?  Then how did you take the same hand and inact words and laws that was against the very Word on which your swore your oath?  And you uttered the words, “So help me God.”  But on the day, that the order of God was struck down you issued the order to illuminate the White House in the colors of the rainbow to celebrate that striking down.  Mr. President, by what authority did you take the sacred colors of God’s covenant, colors of His throne, and the colors of His Mercy in the face of judgment and turn them against the purposes of God and the Word of God on which you swore your oath?  Does the president have the power to veto the ordinances of the Living God? 

America now stands at the crossroads, and we are now asked to choose between one who has said, “Deep seated religious beliefs must be changed” so that the killing of the unborn can be increased, and one who says he will make America great again. But America cannot be great without turning to the God of it’s greatness.  Without humility, repentance and revival, the ambition for greatness will end up as nothing more than a Tower of Babel. Kings may be a judgment on a nation that has turned away from it’s King.  There is a time to stand and a time to fall on our faces.  We must stand, but know the time has come to fall on our faces before God.

We’ve come here today because our trust is not in man or woman.  We’ve come here today to seek the power of God. 

Thirty six years ago, America stood at a precipice.  It’s economy was in shambles, it was crippled by an energy crisis and embargo.  It’s standing around the world was at dangerously low levels, it’s enemies were advancing, it’s citizens were being held hostage in Iran, and every day it’s television sets were filled with images of masses chanting “Death to America.  Death to America.”  Then our nations military sent a rescue mission that collapsed in the desert, and now the dead bodies of American soldiers were put on display in Iran.  It looked as if the sun had set on the American age. 

However, at that same time in history, Believers from around the nation were led to gather in Washington D.C. to pray, to repent and seek the mercy of God on this nation.  They came because of one Scripture, the promise God gave to Israel “If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from Heaven, I will forgive their sins and I will heal their land.”  So they gathered on the Washington Mall and declared that Scripture, “My people who are called by My name,” over and over and over again, and they lifted up two prayers above all; that where America’s power had failed, the power of God would release the hostages. Then lifting up their hands to the Western side of the Capital Building, they prayed that God would bring into power those of His choosing.  It was Spring, as it is now, before a Presidential election, that November there was a revolution at the polls and those who ran on a platform of returning God to it’s Biblical foundation, were swept into power and namely a new president, Ronald Reagan, who spoke of a need of a Spiritual Revial and of America as a city on a hill.  That January was the inauguration, and the president elect switched the site of the inauguration from where it had been for over a century to the Western terrace of the Capital.  So he was now standing on the very place to which the Believers had pointed their arms and prayed to God to bring power to those who He will.  He was now facing outward to the Washington Mall, where the Believers had prayed, and lifted their hands from where they prayed to free the hostages.  And then, as he was sworn into presidency, that very hour, the hostages were released.  The two prayers answered in the very same moment,and from that moment came a massive change in world history and a national resurgence.  America’s economic power began to rebuild as did the military power and it’s standing in the world.  It’s archenemy, the Soviet Union began to collapse. America would emerge as the worlds only super power, it would be called “Morning in America.”  But that altering, that transforming of world history began with the prayers of God’s people, and that Scripture, “If My people who are called by My name…”  And the moment that that transformation began was when the new president put his hand on the Bible and took the oath of presidency. But what was it on which he placed his hand, and on which history changed?  He placed his hand on the Scripture, the history of the world changed on a Scripture. And what was that Scripture? It is this:  “If My people who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from Heaven, I will forgive their sins and I will heal their land.”

That is why we are gathered here today, because God is real, His Word is true, and the prayers of His people are stronger than nations, stronger than super powers and stronger than history itself.  And therein is our hope and the choice in the end is not between one candidate and another, it is between God and Ba’al.  We stand here at this critical hour between two altars and two gods, and the voice of the Lord cries out, “Choose you this day whom you will serve.” 

Seventy years ago the chaplain of the U.S. Senate cried out to America and said, “If the Lord is God then serve Him, if Ba’al then serve him and go to hell.”  That word and that warning is all the more critical today.  So we have come to Washington D.C. not to seek the agency of government, but to seek the agency of the Holy Spirit. Not to lobby those who occupy high office, but to plead with Him who occupies the office of the Most High and not to call the abilities of men, but to invoke the power of the Almighty for revival, for there is no other way but revival. So we commit ourselves now to pray for that revival and not only to pray for that revival but by the power of God to walk in that revival.  We have come here because our trust and our hope is not in man, but in God.  Specifically, our trust and hope is in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Moses and the God of Elisha, the God of the Red Sea, and the God of the resurrection.  The God of the impossible. We have come to the throne of the sovereign, Almighty Living God of Israel and we cry out from this place, HAVE MERCY,  HAVE MERCY, HAVE MERCY ON THIS LAND.  Lift up again Your eyes on this city on the hill and HAVE MERCY, that Your power be seen again in this nation.  Let it fall on the heartland.  Let it fall on the coastland, let it fall on the cities, let it fall on this Capital. Let there be revival in this land.  Let the lost be saved, let the saved be revived, no matter what it takes.  Let there be revival in the land. For some trust in chariots, some trust in princes, some trust in supreme courts, some trust in White Houses, some trust in candidates, and some trust in idols, but we will trust in the Name of the Lord our God. The Name above all names. Above all kings, above all power.  We will trust in the only Name given by which we must be saved. We will trust in the Name of Yeshua Ha-Mashiach, Jesus the Messiah, the King of all kings, the Lord of all lords, the Judge of all judges, the Might of all the world, the glory of Israel, the foundation stone upon which this nation came into existence.  And the only answer, the only chance, the only hope that America has, that it might once again become a city on a hill to shine with the Light of the presence of the Glory of the Living God and be again a praise and a glory in this Earth.
So help us God.
Amen
