Genesis of Nations

By: Hannah S. Hunter

Matthew 28:19-20(PT) “Now go in my authority and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you, and never forget that I am with you every day even to the completion of this age.”

Three hundred thirty-six times the word nation/nations are mentioned in the bible. Some of the last words of Jesus were about nations. We are to disciple or train the nations how they should walk and live.

In this plague no nation is untouched nor left unscathed. Even the physical land is undulating. The earth is moving according to the prayers, words, and actions of the people. The earth is weary and crying with everything in it to be delivered.

Every nation began with a person. Within each of our souls and in our loins or wombs lies the potential to birth a nation. Someone had a vision that drove their very existence and they forsook every other pursuit to see it come to pass. Down through history nations constantly are evolving, borders either are expanding or shrinking, and leadership is changing hands.

No matter how iron clad a leader thinks his/her plan to rule nations is powers change in relatively short time spans from the view of eternity. Even Israel, whose boundaries were spelled out in the Torah, are transient in what they can call theirs. Some nations last longer than others. May factors determine the longevity and scope of rule.

Our understanding of our “nations” and our assignment to them is crucial in this hour like never before. Distraction by last season, last assignment, or even sentimentality can cause us to miss our place and stance in this season. The lock down has been the perfect opportunity to disengage and reengage with the Giver of the nations and marching orders.

With the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit about to be ushered in we need to be equipped, filled up, and know who is with us. It is imperative that in this moment we are preparing and are poised strategically.

I see when that Wind comes as it did on Pentecost with wind and flames, we need to be in the right place, with the right equipment, and our assigned unit surrounding us.

Jezebel, Religion, and Political spirits are in place and in force in every nation especially in the capital cities. Visionaries who birthed nations desired for themselves and their people to have a prosperous and happy life. These strongmen desire to control and destroy a people and a nation. They put on very pretty faces and their words drip with honey. When the masses do not follow without question, they threaten and at all cost drive fears into the very core of man.

One of the definitions of genesis is origin or coming into a new political movement. As the body of Christ and His leaders we must address what is happening from our pulpits. This was done as the USA was fighting for her freedom. The result was one of the greatest nations yet on the earth. Why do you think the spirit of corona is fighting so hard to keep us from our pulpits? To silence the voices of truth from speaking what is afoot.

Summoning my student to come right after breakfast I began to share with him some things God was showing me, and I assigned him some research. He asked me what a gulag was. One dictionary defines it as imprisonment for an indeterminate amount of time to silence a person’s public voice. It begs the question why are we being separated, not allowed to meet to worship/preach, and forcibly masked to hide our identity and muffle the voices?

Yet the scripture used here says teach…. What I command….. never forget I am with you every day until the completion of the age. Hallelujah! Soldier on my fellow warriors.
