Day 11 -- SEAL America (PM)

Dateline: Lansing, MI

Today, history was made: The Lansing, Michigan State Capitol was sealed by the Blood of Jesus. Two-hundred and twenty believing-believers, and twenty pastors, gathered outside the State House, lifted the Cup of Blessing on behalf of themselves, their elected representatives, and their public servants. Then something shifted in the heavenlies.

The solemn assembly, gathered under the overcast January sky, hearkened to former age -- as if we were in the time of John Wesley or Charles Finney. After being in so many canned, planned, slammed gospel events; it was refreshing to be part of a simple, sincere, service for God. Ther were no speeches, no screeches, no hype. You would have loved it.

We lifted our voices in unison and sang, There's Power in the Blood, and the words rang through the streets. Wow! The Blood has not lost its power. Some songs are sung best when they're sung outdoors. America the Beautiful is more poignant when sung, as we sang it, under the open heavens, from our hearts -- not as a part of a program, but for love of God and love of Country. They were more than mere songs, they were prayers. We sang, not just for ourselves, but for you, and all who could not be present on this special day.

We held hands as we sang, and the sun came out, and instantly it became a warm, beautiful day. At that moment we, we were neither Baptists, nor Methodists, nor Charismatics. We were one bread and one body, and we were Americans. You should have been there.

Tody the pastors stood as true men of God. You would have been proud of them. They stood tall, and they spoke for what is right, and good, and true, and they told us, in different ways, There's only one solution for America -- it's in the blood of Jesus. They spoke with wisdom, and conviction, and faith. You should have heard them.

I've never seen men stand taller than I saw them today, as they humbled themselves before God, and led us in open, public Holy Communion. It was transforming. I'm glad I was there.

Today as we made history. We made an indelible mark. The Blood of Jesus has been applied to the Statehouse, and it cannot be removed. Today we set the pecking order straight: God was lifted up, and demons were cast down. Today we applied the Blood of the Lamb to the doorpost of Michigan, and there's no place for the destroyer to land!

Prayers were prayed, declarations were made, and holy hands were laid upon the granite stones of the temple of man. Oh yes, we covered the highest house in the state. Now the blood flows to the lowest valley.

In a special moment, our sons and daughters came forward, onto the steps, and we surrounded them with faith and love. Then we apologized to them for having allowed America to sink in a morass. Then the elders prayed for the younger, and hope sprang anew. Afterwards, one stalwart youth said to me, "Thank you Dr. Hugins for apologizing to my generation. It means so much to us. We are the generation that's going to take back America, I promise."

Young poeple are getting it -- SEAL America is their Campaign. It's their opportunity to be part of the solution. Pockets of young people are popping up all over. They are pumping up the volume and publishing the word -- waking up a new generation of Americans

SEAL America is for all of us. It's for you and your kin, and your community, and your country -- not just for a week -- for the long haul. If you're not in the move, get in the move!

Tell everyone you know, and watch it grow, until all America knows! Remember, life goes where the blood flows. There's life flowing in the SEAL America Campaign. Let's keep it flowing without restriction, and without interruption. Week after week, it will circulate through the arterries and the vessels of the USA, until the sleeping giant awakens, and shakes herself again.

Friends, this our opportunity to make a difference. God is giving America another chance. It may be our best chance (it may be our only chance). Tell me: If not us, then who? If not now, then when?

Let's keep lifting up the cup of blessing, all year -- in your church, in your home, and in concert with the move. When we partake of communion from state house to state house, you partake in your house, and the blood Jesus will SEAL America, and guarentee our posterity.

Now the Holy Spirit has pointed our faces towards Indianapolis, Indiana. I know He will draw believing-believers together in Indianapolisis; I've seen Him do it in Madison and Lansing.

Yes, please stand with us in Indianapolis or Columbus, if you can. If you can't travel, then get connected in prayer, or team up with us by investing in the blessing. We are in this together.
