Prophecy about America - WHO WILL WEEP FOR AMERICA?

Prophecy about America

The following is a prophecy that was given in Australia several years ago during a YWAM meeting. It was submitted to us by Jay Bennet who is currently serving with YWAM.

WHO WILL WEEP FOR AMERICA?
“My heart is broken for America, says the Lord of hosts. Who will weep for the pleasant land, the pleasant land which I built with My own hands? For it was I who built her and I will tear her down. I built her mountains and forests. I built her fruitful fields. I built her pleasant streams and waterways. It was I, even I, who built the factories and mills. It was I who built her pleasant cities with schools and courts and parks. It was I who filled the land with churches that America might know My ways. Yes, it was I who built the pleasant land to be a blessing to the whole earth.
I built America to be a mighty instrument in My hand to harvest the nations, that every tribe, tongue, people and nation might know My Son. I filled America with every resource needed to reach the ends of the earth with My salvation, but my people have become hardened to My Spirit and have squandered the resources on their own vain pursuits. Therefore, I will call for a drought on the mountain forests, and the fields will languish, your water will be scarce, your minerals will be few, your factories will go silent and your mills will close. My heart is broken for America, the pleasant land which I built. I have removed My blessing from you cities, they will be a blight to the land, your schools will become a terror and your courts a mockery.
Will you weep for America for her ruin is at hand? Yet you will say to Me, ‘But Lord, we have been involved in missions.’ But I will say to you, America is like a son whose father told him to plow a field which he plowed in a day. At the end of the day the father returned to find only a tenth of the field plowed. The father said, ‘Son, why have you disobeyed Me?’ The son replied, “I haven’t disobeyed you. Look I have been plowing.’ But the father said, “Son, this field could have been plowed in a day. You have disobeyed me and you must be disciplined....”
Therefore, America, hear the word of the Lord; I have given you much leisure time, but you haven’t used that time to cry to Me for the lost. You have simply ignored them and used the time for your own pleasure. Therefore, I am taking away your leisure time. I have given you much wealth. But you haven’t used that wealth to extend My kingdom to those perishing in darkness; therefore, I will take away your wealth. I have given you many sons and daughters, but you do not release them to My kingdom’s work; therefore you will lose your sons and daughters to the world. I have given you peace in your cities that you might do the work of My kingdom unhindered, but you have used the peace only to deepen your slumber; therefore, I am removing the peace.
Oh, America, that you would change your ways and obey Me. My heart is broken over the destruction of the pleasant land which I have built. I long to bless you, but day to day you increase My anger with the utterly selfish way you use the resources I have blessed you with. The more I give you, the more you spend on yourselves, and when you give, it is only out of your abundance. Bring Me no more sacrifices that cost you nothing.
America, I call you to change your ways quickly. Lest I tear this land to pieces and there be no one to deliver you. Cry no more to Me about revival. Do you actually think I will bless your selfish way of living? Does no one understand My word and My ways?
Does not My word say that I give the Holy Spirit to those who obey Me? Does not My word say that those who know Me will be a people zealous for good deeds? Bring forth deeds that are suitable for real repentance. Does not My word say that whoever has the world’s goods and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, that My love does not abide in him? DO you not see that the world is overflowing with people that I love who are filled with anguish, and hunger, spiritual darkness, sickness, despair, hellish oppressions? And you sit in your living rooms night after night watching garbage on television as millions perish-- and you are so unconcerned.
Am I not rightly angry at this selfish nation? And will I continue to bless thee? ‘I will Not”, says the Lord of hosts. But My blessing will go to those nations who will obey Me. And as I live, says the Lord, This pleasant land will become a desolate wasteland.
Yet even now, says the Lord, ‘If this land will repent and let your hearts be broken for the lost in your own city and around the world, if you will live as My Son showed you, giving your life and your time and your goods to reach those in need, if you will obey My command to go make disciples of all nations, then I will pour out a blessing on this land again such as the world has not seen.
Oh, if My people would obey Me, I would use them to finish My great commission, I would fill them and guided them, I would delight in them and prosper them if they will diligently do my work. Oh, that My people would obey me, says the Lord.”
