America is falling. This is not because of the election a few days ago. This is because the Lord has been justifiably withdrawing His favor from America. This land was consecrated to the Glory of the Lord 418 years ago. America was the Light to the world. America represented goodness and freedom to the world. America, at one time, sent forth more Christian missionaries than any other nation.

I have thought for a long time about the reason for the failure of our nation, and have concluded it is because of usurpation. Satan is the great usurper (Isaiah 14:12-14) and our leaders, both spiritual and political have been led by him, knowingly or unknowingly. So, the dimming of the Light of America has come because of usurpation.

The leadership of the Church, the body of Christ, has also been usurped by men who proclaim that there are errors in the Word of God, it is not true and correct, that the Lord Jesus did not perform the miracles recorded in the Word of God, and that the moral standards presented in the Word no longer apply to our society. These falsehoods have been perpetuated by Bible college professors, priests and pastors. The Church has lost its place as a standard of morality and a Light to the world.

The Constitution of the United States is our guide to freedom, but our political leaders have declared it to be a right-wing document that oppresses. These leaders have declared that the Freedom of Speech is a danger to democracy. The Constitution is being usurped. The First Amendment of the Constitution declares the Freedom of Speech. Please be warned. If that freedom is usurped, so also is the “free exercise of religion,” the first of the five guarantees of the First Amendment. This is just an example of political usurpers.

We are in trouble. The nation and the Church have been subject to usurpers for many decades. This is not a new development.

The prayer of the Prophet Daniel is a wonderful model of a prayer for a fallen nation. It is found in the Book of Daniel, chapter nine. Daniel was praying for Israel and Jerusalem, both of which were fallen. America is falling. Below, I have paraphrased the prayer of Daniel for the Church and America. This prayer meshes perfectly with II Chronicles 7:14.

Please bring this petition before the Lord for America. He is Holy and Righteous, but also is merciful and gracious. Please pray.

O LORD, the great and awesome God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love Him, and to them that keep His commandments. We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and from your judgments. Neither have we listened to your servants the prophets which spoke in your name to our leaders, and our fathers, and to all the people of America, as recorded in your Word. O LORD, righteousness belongs unto you, but we are covered with shame, to this day. O LORD, we deserve to be covered with shame, and our leaders and our fathers, because we have sinned against you. To the LORD our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets. Yea, all America has transgressed your law and turned away, refusing to obey your voice.

Therefore the curse and the judgments that are written in the your Holy Bible are poured upon us because we have sinned against you. And the LORD has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us, and against our leaders that led us, by bringing upon us great evil. For under the whole heaven there has not been a nation as blessed as America. As it is written in your Holy Bible, all this evil is come upon us, yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand your truth. Therefore has the LORD looked upon our sin, and is bringing disaster upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all His works which He does, for we obeyed not His voice.

And now, O LORD our God, that has blessed America with a mighty hand, and has gotten renown for Himself as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly. O LORD, according to all your righteousness, I beseech you, let your anger and your fury be turned away from America. Because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, America and your people are become a reproach to all the world.

Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine upon America that is becoming desolate, for the LORD’s sake. O my God, incline your ear, and hear. Open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the land that was a Light to the world. For we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercies. O LORD, hear. O LORD, forgive. O LORD, listen and act. Defer not, for your own sake, O my God, for this great land and for your people that are called by your name.

In the name of Jesus,
Amen
