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

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
