A prophetic message for America

When I was preparing myself for a ministry in the USA, the Holy Spirit inspired me to write a prophetic message to the churches in the USA through a real incident that took place in the USA on 14th August, 2003.

On 14th August, 2003, a power black-out took place in America that engulfed most of the states in America and Canada in darkness. The impact of this power black-out was felt in the entire nation with the communication and transport systems, water-supply system, etc, coming to a halt. It lasted for a day and nobody could know what was wrong with the power generation and transmission system of America. It led to a shut-down of 100 power plants all over the nation. The governor of a state even declared emergency. People wondered that it could be the handiwork of some terrorists. It took the whole world by surprise.

Since I am working for a power transmission company in India, which is one of the ten top transmission companies of the world, we started analyzing the newspaper reports. The Northern American Electric Reliability Council reported the causes for the power failure on 19-11-2003 as follows: "A generating plant in the Cleveland, Ohio area went off-line amid high electrical demand and strained high voltage power lines later went out of service when they came in contact with overgrown trees" Just a single generating plant in the above place went out of function, derailing the entire power system of America.

As you may be aware, power produced cannot be stored. It has to be transmitted and consumed. If the power produced in a power generating plant is not transmitted to the end-users, the entire system of generation will collapse. Similarly, if a transmission net-work develops a snag and thus goes out of function, it will affect the power generating plant concerned. Demand of power has to match with supply of power. If more power is consumed than what is produced, the entire power system will collapse. In our nation, we have adopted the state-of-the art transmission net-work so that, if any particular generating plant or any particular transmission line goes out of function, the faulty plant or the faulty transmission line concerned gets isolated from the main system and the grid system is saved. What is the lesson the Holy Spirit wants to teach to us through this incident? The power of God cannot be stored. It has to be transmitted through the length and breadth of the nation. When the Holy Spirit comes on us, we receive His power from above. The churches in the America did receive the power of God through the Pentecostal churches there. But the power of God was not used in evangelizing the whole nation. The people of God did not take upon themselves the work of evangelism but wanted to enjoy the power of God for themselves by way of miracle and healing ministries. If a thermal power plant produces 1000 Megawatt of power in a day, it requires only 10 Megawatt of power for running its turbines, cooling towers, etc. It has to transmit the bulk of 990 Megawatt of power to the other utilities.

The Pentecostal churches in the America can be likened to this thermal power plant. They have been receiving enormous amount of power of God through the Holy Spirit. But they have not been using the same in the work of evangelism with the result that most of the Pentecostal churches in the USA have plunged into the spiritual darkness. If some false doctrines are preached in one particular church or by some particular servants of God, the apostles and prophets are supposed to deal with the same. That particular church should be isolated from the other churches and the propagation of such false doctrines should not be allowed to spread like wild fire to the other churches in the same manner as the power plant or the transmission station at fault is being isolated from the main system. "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump" (Gal.5:9).
