What is America For Jesus?
A solemn assembly to summon together the whole body of Christ to pray for the church and our nation. Based on the text in 2 Kings 2:19-22, we believe God is calling His people to bring "the salt" which is the church to the head of the waters where the foundation of our American liberty was birthed in Philadelphia and to intercede for God to heal the land.
2 Kings 2:19-22: And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. 20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. 22So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
When is America For Jesus?
September 28th & 29th 2012
Where is A America For Jesus?
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is where the Declaration of Independence was signed. This is the location where the Constitution of the United States was debated and then ratified after much prayer. Additionally, this spot hosted the writing of the Bill of Rights. All of these concepts were harvested from a seed planted by William Penn, a Quaker, who founded Pennsylvania's government on principles of Freedom & Equality. In 1751 the Pennsylvania General Assembly commissioned a foundry in England to forge a bell in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of William Penn's Constitution for
Pennsylvania, the Charter of Privileges. On the bell is inscribed Leviticus 25:10 which says, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto the inhabitants thereof."
Why America For Jesus?
America is in a state of emergency evidenced by the symptoms of widespread moral depravity and economic meltdown. Education, government, and man's wisdom cannot solve this problem. There is only one remedy that truly can "heal the Land"-
2 Chronicles 7:14 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. God required four things of His people before he would hear them. 1) humility 2) prayer 3) seek the Lord & 4) repentance.
One Nation Under God, Inc.
One Nation Under God was birthed by a vision the late John Gimenez had in October of 1978 when he was preaching at a conference in Oakland, CA. During his message he referenced I Samuel 17:29 where David asked the question, "Is there not a cause?" That day God spoke to John that indeed there was a cause and a present day Goliath seeking to destroy the very foundation of our
country. A foundation that has always been based on the Word of God. From that point on, John believed he had a mandate from God to gather a solemn assembly focused on turning America back to God in prayer.
On April 29, 1980 over 700,000 people gathered from across the nation to pray for God to move in America. This historic march in our nation's capital ultimately affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of believers and launched a vision for a new America built on Godly values and the word of God.
The organization is a coalition of ministries who unite to organize national calls to prayer for the sake of the church and the nation. Since its inception, One Nation Under God has sponsored several solemn assemblies focused on prayer, repentance, and change.
