This week the nation remembers the anniversary of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.
We have been praying through the 40 day Jewish season of repentance, Teshuvah, which ends on Yom Kipper. As we move through the prayer journey we want to share a prophecy given in 1998 which warned us of the 9/11 catastrophe and launched the Teshuvah Prayer Initiative.
In the summer of 1998 a well-known prophet, Chuck Pierce, warned the Church to cleanse itself during a 40 day period corresponding to the Hebrew repentance season of Teshuvah, which ran from August 22, 1998 to September 30, 1998. He warned the Church of the coming rise of the Islamic spirit and the Spirit of Lawlessness in the U.S. He also warned that, if the Church did not repent and find God’s plan, it would be unable to stop the disaster which would come at the end three years.
On September 11, 1998 the special prosecutor appointed to review to the scandals of President Bill Clinton announced that the President had committed perjury about an affair with an intern, and committed other abuses of power. Instead of removing the President, as the Republicans had done when Nixon was caught lying, the Democrats lined up behind him. By doing so, they endorsed his lawlessness and released the Spirit of Lawlessness on the country. And the Church, divided by politics, made no effective response.
Exactly three years after the announcement by the special prosecutor, just as the prophet had said, a catastrophe hit the United States. The Islamic Spirit warned of in the prophecy rose up and killed 3000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Few understood the judgment that had fallen on America. Many politicians made a show of defiance by quoting from a scripture, Isaiah 9:10, about rebuilding bigger and better. What they failed to understand in their ignorance was that Isaiah 9:10 scripture was a condemnation of their attitude of defiance against God.
The 9/11 Prophecy came to our attention as we prepared to pray for repentance, unity, and healing the land during the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017, and the following days of the Teshuvah season.

It has been 21 years since the 9/11 Prophecy was given, but the threats of Islamic Extremism, American Lawlessness, and a rudderless church remain. We defeated an evil regime in Iraq only to see it replaced by ISIS terrorists, we are still at war with the Taliban after 18 years, and Iran is still exporting terror and trying to build a nuclear bomb. The Spirit of Lawlessness has manifested itself from the lowest street gang violence to the pinnacle of government power, with our drug laws, immigration laws, privacy laws, marriage laws, and constitutional rights openly disregarded. And the Church has not yet repented of following its own plans and not God’s as it was instructed to do in the 9/11 prophecy.
Many Christians thought that the election of Donald Trump would solve our problems, and we have seen some success against the Islamic Extremists and the lawless elements in our society and government. But he has only bought us time to find the real solutions. The real work of cleansing society and restoration of our foundations can only be done by the Church.
We have seen much damage to our country because we did not heed the 9/11 Prophesy. However, it is not too late to seek God for His plan for the Church in this hour.
Let us pray that it will be said of us that we “Will be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in” (Isaiah 58:12)
