Seventeen Months to Revive America?
I recently shared on the National Day of Prayer and spiritual awakening in America. That day President Trump held an event with faith leaders and announced confidently, “We’re bringing religion back to our country.” He then signed an executive order establishing a Religious Liberty Commission that will run until July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
Seven days after the NDP, the largest single day of baptisms in U.S. history took place in Huntington Beach, California, where 30,000 gathered from 500 churches and over 7,700 people were baptized.
God is on the move.
In this generation, might we have 17 months to revive America?

I recently attended a local pastors meeting to share a burden on my heart. I wanted the leaders to be inspired by God’s current work in our nation/world and get involved.
I specifically encouraged them to promote the Baptism Revival in our area. A “Summer of Baptisms” is exploding throughout the USA in answer to prayer. So far, the largest expression (possibly in history) took place a month ago in Southern California when 14,000 people gave their lives to Jesus and were baptized in the ocean.
The water’s too cold in the Northwest for that, but I told the pastors that lakes, pools, and hot tubs would work fine.
I wanted them to experience the current move of God’s Spirit.
The Baptism Revival
In the closing chapter of my autobiography, One Small Life, I analyze the messages of Israel’s greatest prophets–Isaiah and Jeremiah.
Jeremiah prophesied during a time of terminal judgment. He focused on the negative–the sins of a “falling nation.” Isaiah preached repentance also, but in the the second half of his book he gloried in the positive–God’s revival power and Eternal Kingdom.
Both prophets remind me of the parable of the wheat and the weeds (tares). Jesus said both evil and revival would grow simultaneously during the last days. I write often about growing evil to incite us to prayer and action. But let’s focus today on the positive (wheat).
