I see a miracle in America

I see revival in America!

I see everyone become a Christian. I see Sunday morning church services so overflowing with people that tents are set up on the lawn with loudspeakers carrying the message of God's love and forgiveness to hungry listeners. I see people stand with uplifted arms in silent adoration and surrender. I see people on their knees. I hear exuberant loud praise and heart-cleansing weeping of repentance.

I see services that last all day and into the night because no one wants to quit worshipping Jesus. I hear preaching that lasts for hours while everyone raptly listens as the Word of God is proclaimed. I listen as one eager person after another testifies of the miracles of God in his life.

I see churches so crowded on Sundays that the Show Me Center, Arena Building, Osage Community Centre, Academic Auditorium, Rose Theatre and every public building gets turned into a house of worship. I see people gathering in their lawn chairs on the riverfront and in parks to discuss the Bible with one another.

I see Christian television that proclaims the mercy and power of God and not the works of man. I see humility in church leaders. I see religious leaders as godly role models worth emulating.

I see people come to church every night to pray and praise the savior.

I see workers gather during lunch to hold Bible studies.

I see people pray for one another in the aisles of grocery stores.

I see Saturday March for Jesus parades throughout the nation.

I see restaurants use their big screens to pay homage to our big God.

I see city pools, backyard pools and bird baths become baptismal pools and fonts.

I see elected officials sincerely, humbly, unselfishly and prayerfully work together to make laws that bless America's people. I see crosses erected on courthouse lawns and banners strung across city streets to declare the love of God. I see Ten Commandment signs in every yard and Christian flags flown above the American flag on every flagpole in the land. (Yes, we'd change the Constitution.)

I see people of all colors and cultures embrace. I see the death of racism, hatred and violence. I see ex-druggies become solid citizens, prostitutes become faithful wives and mothers, and the sanctity of marriage restored. I see dope dealers going broke and getting saved. I see jails and prisons empty as former inmates become model citizens. I see respect for law and order, parents, authority and government.

I see the death of abortion as respect for self and life are restored. I see people who treat their bodies as temples of the holy spirit.

I see welfare programs dissolve as everyone develops an unselfish, hard-work attitude, and neighbors, family, friends and church organizations care for those who are unable to work.

I see sporting events begin with prayer spoken in the name of Jesus Christ and halftime shows that magnify God. I see clean television shows and movies that inspire, encourage, support and uplift viewers. I hear clean jokes and laughter and compassion in people's voices.

I see children and teachers pray and study God's word together.

I see husbands and wives live together in lifelong commitment, love, harmony and one accord. I see fathers and mothers love, discipline and teach their children about Jesus.

I see people who look at themselves through God's eyes so they know they have worth and purpose. I see obesity and anorexia disappear as people eat and live as God wills. I see people become mentally and physically healthy as they understand and live as God designed them to live.

I see freedom -- freedom from the devil, fear, greed, self-pride and low self-esteem. I see evil end and God's will prevail.

I see a miracle in America.

Yes, I see revival!
