This is a tremendous story that I'm going to tell you. The very first gathering we ever had, before I went down to be with the people in the Gathering, in the hall where we were holding it, I was upstairs and was given a vision. In this vision, I saw a mother laying on the operating table. I saw surgeons all around her. I saw them cut her little tummy open and take out the baby and the womb that was holding the baby, and cut it open. They took the baby out, connected the baby to a life support system and began to cut the baby's little chest open and operate on the heart. This baby was very young and very small but had a bad heart. Had they not done what they did, the baby would not have survived birth. When the surgery on the heart was over, they sewed up the wound, put the baby back in the womb, and so forth, and continued to sew up the tummy. They were so excited.

Now, I have a friend who is a baby doctor, and she told me what the name of that surgery was, if it happens. I said, "What do you mean if it happens? I want to show you a picture. It has just happened." And she said, "Really?!" She always used to say that. And I said, "Yes! Look, here is a picture of it. This baby is the first baby to ever receive that kind of surgery." She said, "They have been talking about this surgery for a long time. They call it in utero surgery." This baby survived that surgery. But when I had the vision, about a week before, the Lord spoke to me after the surgery was completely over and said to me, "There, now just as this baby will never know what it was saved from through this surgery, America will never, never know what it has been saved from. Because you've answered the call, gathering the intercessors, having the Gatherings for the healing of this nation, America will never know what you have saved it from."

Here we are, 22 years later. I think, really and truly, for the first time it is hitting me with such a magnitude. We're really, essentially at the end of the road of this part of the work of the Gatherings. The Gatherings will continue, but this part was the birthing part of the promise. We've gone through the surgery. We've watched the baby we were bringing birth to be healed and about to be born. It's going to be born, I believe with all of my heart, with those babies who were saved from abortion; we're all going to be born together. God will save these babies from that tragedy because you prayed, because you came, because it mattered to you. You kept praying.

Some might have said, “We've prayed for over 20 years. What makes you think that God's really going to intervene?” We just have to say it’s because God has maintained the burden in His heart for this reality. If it wasn't going to happen, the burden would have been lifted. But it is going to happen; it will happen and will be a major part in the overall promises that He is opening up to us, the heart of this nation, to heal it. He's opening the heart of the Church, the intercessors in particular, to heal it.

When you see come to pass all the things we've been praying over for the last 20-some years, and you see this come to pass, and that come to pass, and that come to pass—my dear friends, every time you see President Trump climb into a vehicle of some sort and go to the place from which he is going to perform the Presidential duties, you're going to remember this was part of God's promise the first time, and now the second time. His continued faithfulness to keep fighting for this nation, for him to put together a Republican Party that is not perverted, that is not everything we wish it weren't, to overcome the Democratic Party, it is living proof before our very eyes that God is answering our prayers. Had we not prayed, none of this would have happened. America would have been lost through the gate of the Democratic Party, right into communism. I'm telling you that as one who knows and as one who has seen.

You have saved your nation, Church. Those of you who have stood in the gap through thick and thin, you have saved your nation through your prayers and your faithfulness. Thank you for who you are. Thank you for what you've given. Thank you for believing and continuing to believe. Thank you for holding on to the hand of God and walking with Him down this long, narrow path to the unbelievable, unmistakable beauty of what He is birthing. We love you very much.

In Him,
