Dutch Sheets Says Turnaround's Coming That Will Save Billions of Souls - CBN News Paul Strand

Dutch Sheets Says Turnaround's Coming That Will Save Billions of Souls

02-24-2018

CBN News Paul Strand

WASHINGTON—Internationally-known evangelist Dutch Sheets is bringing word to the nation’s capital that a turnaround is coming that will lead to a worldwide harvest of billions of souls.

“We are about to see the greatest influx of souls in history,” Sheets told CBN News in an exclusive interview.

Just before the February 22-24 Turnaround Conference began at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, Sheets explained what's led to such an audacious prediction.

10 Months of Turmoil, 3 Years of Turnaround

He said his frequent ministry partner Chuck Pierce prophesied back in April, “10 months of turmoil before breakthrough came.  And then it’d be three years of turnaround for America.”

These last 10 months certainly have seen all sorts of turmoil — political upheaval, hurricanes, fires, floods and more.   But Sheets said now’s the time for God’s people to push for the promised turnaround.

“There’s another level of intercession, prophetic declaration, kingly intercession, making decrees for Him that is going to now launch us into what we’ve been asking for for 25, 30 years: a Third Great Awakening in America, another great awakening around the world.   And I believe the greatest harvest in history begins now,” Sheets asserted.

Time to Fly the “Appeal To Heaven” Flag Again

He spoke about the need to reignite the Appeal to Heaven movement: a time when the Founding Fathers acknowledged they couldn’t break away from Britain and become a free nation without God’s aid.   So they flew flags saying “Appeal to Heaven” during the Revolutionary War.

Sheets explained, “Our founders knew there was no way they could defeat the British unless God intervened: ‘if He’s in this, we can win.  If He’s not, this is laughable.’  So they said ‘we’re going to appeal to heaven.’  They actually put the phrase in the Declaration at the end.  They laid out their case and said ’so we appeal to the Supreme Judge of the universe.’” 

And during the war, Sheets said, “They put this flag — ‘Appeal to Heaven’ — over the battlefields, over the ships.  People don’t know it, but our nation was born under a prayer movement — Appeal to Heaven.  And, of course, we prevailed by the grace of God.”

Sheets believes God is now saying to the nation, “'I need to use what I used to birth you to re-birth you.   Because America needs a re-birth.’  We have to have an awakening and a restoration.  And I think He’s saying to us, ‘What I used then is what I’ll use now: prayer.  If you’ll appeal to me, you can turn this nation around.”

Well-known Christian leader Cindy Jacobs prophesied to Sheets it should start on Washington ’s Birthday in the city named after him.

Sheets recalled Jacobs said to him, “Holy Spirit said, ‘tell Dutch re-launch on 2-22 in Washington D.C.’ And she said it will re-launch the worldwide prayer movement.”

‘We Are an Apostate Nation’

Many people believe America certainly needs a spiritual re-birth.

“The turnaround is a reversal of the turning away from God in this nation.     We are an apostate nation.  We have rejected Him,” Sheets asserted.  

He continued, “Something has to happen in the hearts of people to where they will say internally and outwardly ‘what does God think about this?’   It’s a return to Him, it’s a return to His Word, it’s a return to His ways.  That’s what I think is coming."

Such a turn in enough American hearts can lead to change that permeates all society.

How to Rejuvenate a Whole Country

“Scriptures say ‘righteousness exalts a nation,” Sheets explained.  “It’s the inevitable law of sowing and reaping.  If we sow seeds of righteousness, we receive the blessing of heaven.  That means physically and spiritually.  Marriages are healed.  Lives get put back together.   Drug addiction goes down.  Disease is eradicated.  To me, once you turn to God, blessing comes at every level."

The evangelist told CBN News this certainly isn’t political.

“To me, the turnaround is not just prosperity, it’s not just ‘the conservatives win.’  The turnaround is spiritual.  It’s not Democrat.  It’s not Republican.  It’s a heart issue.  It’s a turning back to God.  And I think that’s about to happen."

Salvation for Billions

And Sheets expects from a re-born America, God will change the world.

“This is all about what God wants to do around the world.  I believe we’ll see more people saved in the next 20 years than we have in the previous 2, 000,” Sheets predicted.  "I think it’ll be in the billions.  Not the ‘m,’ but the ‘b.’ The billions.   I think Asia is about to get hit with a tidal wave of revival.  And I think it’s going right into the Middle East.”

He concluded, “I believe it’s this incredible harvest that has been prophesied for so long, we’re moving into now.  The best days of the Church are not behind us.  They are ahead of us.”

If you think all of this has nothing to do with you, Sheets wants you to know, if you can pray and intercede for your nation and your world, you can have a part in this turnaround.

Billy Graham's Motorcade Procession Draws Thousands - BGEA

Billy Graham's body is moved in a processional to Charlotte, North Carolina. (BGEA)

Billy Graham's Motorcade Procession Draws Thousands

On Saturday morning, Billy Graham's casket left the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina, and made its way toward the Billy Graham Library in his hometown of Charlotte. The motorcade took about three-and-a-half hours to make the 130-mile journey from the mountains to the city, traveling along I-40 East, U.S.-321 South and I-85 North.

Crowds of people lined the streets as the motorcade passed through Black Mountain shortly after departing from The Cove. The hearse traveled up State Street between Craigmont Road and I-40. It passed Town Hardware, formerly Black Mountain Drugstore, a place Billy and Ruth Graham used to frequent. Billy Graham often rode his horse there from his home in Montreat just a couple of miles away.

 Just behind Town Hardware, Cherry Street dead-ends at the railroad tracks where the Black Mountain train station used to be. In the 1950s, Billy often boarded trains to Washington or New York at the Black Mountain train station, then flew out from one of those cities to preach internationally.

Billy Graham at the Black Mountain train station, which the motorcade passed on Saturday. He often took the train to bigger cities where he would then board a plane to make a preaching engagement.

Around 2:20 p.m., the motorcade arrived in Charlotte and went through uptown before reaching the Billy Graham Library.

The motorcade passed another notable site at the intersection of South Boulevard and West Boulevard. The vehicles paused briefly in front of Grace Covenant Church, formerly Chalmers Memorial Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, which was five miles from Billy Graham's childhood home. Billy Graham and his family were members of this church during his childhood and teen years. Church bells rang out as the hearse stopped there.

Other Memorial Events

Billy Graham will lie in repose at the Billy Graham Homeplace, on the grounds of the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 26-27. He will lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 28 and March 1.

A private funeral service will be held on Friday, March 2, in Charlotte. Billy Graham will be buried beside his wife, Ruth, in the Prayer Garden at the Billy Graham Library.

News of the resignation of Jacob Zuma as South Africa’s president comes as a great relief following allegations of corruption that have hung over the country like a dark shadow for far too long.

And it coincided with a literal downpour of heaven’s blessings as the drought-stricken land was drenched by an all-night cloudburst in the Northern Cape – I will explain more about that later.

Zuma’s longstanding refusal to budge from his position has further threatened the stability of an embattled nation already facing serious economic and social problems.

Cyril Ramaphosa, declaring himself “a servant of South Africa”, has been sworn in as his replacement, and I am hopeful of a brighter future for the ‘Rainbow nation’ that showed such promise following the success of its first-ever multi-racial elections in 1994. But the legacy of peace, prosperity and reconciliation left by Nelson Mandela was thrown to the winds of tribalism and strife that mirrored much of what has been going on in the rest of Africa.

The dawn of the New South Africa, you may recall, was preceded by a very worrying time when civil war looked a real possibility – and was widely predicted by the media – as the Zulu-led Inkhata Party threatened not to cooperate with the transition talks.

Thankfully, South Africa’s many Christians flooded sports stadiums to pray for a resolution, and Christian leaders like Michael Cassidy were used by God to broker peace. The nation was pulled back from the brink as a result, relatively little blood was spilt, and a wonderful new era dawned.

Tragically, in recent years, lack of leadership with integrity, along with non-cooperation with all parties of goodwill, has left a trail of destruction in its wake – violence, especially in rural areas, is rampant, along with corruption, unemployment and disease. And with the ruling African National Congress party strongly influenced by Marxism, South Africa has inevitably climbed onto the bandwagon of political correctness where anything goes except good, honest living according to God’s standards. Part of the government’s PC dogma is a thoroughly nonsensical accusation that Israel is now practising the ‘apartheid’ that so blighted South Africa, and they are using this as an excuse to downgrade diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.

The irony of the earlier threat to peace posed by Inkhata is that Zuma is a Zulu. But I don’t wish to taint the rest of his people – the country’s largest ethnic group – with his alleged corruption. They are a wonderful tribe; I was virtually brought up by a lovely Zulu woman, Agnes Nzimande. Indeed, they were once great warriors, who even defeated the British at the Battle of Isandhlwana in 1879, and their present King, Goodwill Zwelithini, is reputedly a believing Christian who has bravely challenged the government over their anti-Semitic stance against Israel, urging them against loosening ties.

Wrong relationships have caused all these problems; politicians have allowed themselves to be influenced by the wrong people, leading to division and corruption. But we worship a God who is, above all, a God of relationships. He himself is not alone, but acts in harmony with the Son and the Holy Spirit, and he calls us into a relationship with him. And when this happens, we also come into a right relationship with others. The greatest commandment, according to Jesus, is to love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind; and to love our neighbour as ourselves. (Matthew 22.37-40)

But there is now another rainbow of hope on the horizon. Before I had even heard the news of Zuma’s fall, my wife and I were still in bed having a WhatsApp conversation with friends in South Africa who were touring the Northern Cape encouraging farmers to keep trusting God through these difficult times, especially the long-running drought that has blighted the country for so long. Not surprisingly, there has been much prayer for rain.

Our friends – Julian and Trish Southey (Julian was my best friend from boarding school days over 50 years ago) – were escorting another couple on a ministry tour of the region, and were travelling to a distant farm to hold a Bible Study on the eve of Valentine’s Day. On arrival, they could see a black cloud heading their way, and during the evening there was an almighty downpour. The heavens opened and the farmers were ecstatic. They rushed outside to measure it, and reported that they hadn’t seen that much rain in ten years.

But much more was to come! Our friends left the farmhouse at 10.45pm, but due to the downpour, and their planned route being rendered impassable, they had to make a 100-mile detour over very rough roads to return to base.

It took them all night. Their truck got stuck in deep mud, and it must have been a frightening experience watching a river of floodwater rushing past as they prayed for help, which eventually came complete with a tow-bar to extricate them from the mire.

Their ordeal was matched with much joy, of course, because these god-fearing farmers have been faithfully praying for an end to the drought for a long time. The picture above was taken next morning – a rainbow (promise of God’s faithfulness) of hope now hangs over the land, no longer parched but drenched by the goodness of God. And it stands as a reminder that South Africa’s only long-term hope is to put their trust in the only One who can supply the rain, while at the same time putting their relationships right – first with God, and also with one another.

Quotes

Steps to nonviolent conflict resolution:

1. You gather your facts, not fake news.
2. Once you get real facts, then you begin to educate your audiences.
3. Then you examine yourself to see if you’re in the faith. If your motives are right. If your heart is right before God.
4. Then you go to the negotiating table.
5. If that doesn’t work you protest peacefully and nonviolently in Christian love.
6. And then, step six, you should begin to come together.

-Alveda King

We need to just be right with God because these final days are going to be the harvest time. It’s going to be the greatest hour the church has ever known. -Pastor Jim Bakker
