Rise up, O Lord….and tell us about Your birthright.
Here we are, Ephraim, holding Your birthright….the right of the firstborn….and we don’t know:
we don’t know we are Ephraim;
we don’t know we have a birthright;
we don’t know what a birthright is;
we don’t know about its anointing.
Yet Jacob crossed his hands and blessed the second born of Joseph…Ephraim…with the birthright blessing.
Manasseh would be a great people.
But you, Ephraim, would surpass Manasseh and become a greater people still.
Your offspring would become a multitude of nations.
Yes, England is Manasseh and is a great people.
But you, United States of America, have become a greater people still.
Just look at you:
you have a profound history and calling in God;
you have a huge territory and many resources;
you have wealth and power;
you have liberty and freedom.
Yes, you are Ephraim…the holder of the birthright.
And what does the birthright-holder do?
He uses his inheritance to bless and strengthen the family.
He is the priest and builds the house of God.
He provides for his younger siblings.
He enables prosperity to flow into the family.
He leads his people into the Truth and blessing of God.
The power of the office of birthright-holder cannot be overstated.
Just look at Yeshua, the First-Born, Only Begotten Son of the Most High God….
look at what He did with His birthright!
He has inherited everything from the Father.
And He is providing for us as joint-heirs of His Kingdom!
So, O God….rise up and show us our birthright.
Show us the tremendous blessing You have placed on us as a nation.
Show us how to take our places in this blessing and to enable its truth and power to flow.
Rise up, O God and bring the teaching of Your birthright to the pulpits of America .
Holy Spirit, reveal this truth to Your people.
Then the fighting and the wrangling and the bloodthirsty battles around the world
will have some meaning:
The evil one is after the birthright.
Yes, the devil wants it.
All of his demons want it.
Esau wants it….even though he despised it.
And Jacob won’t give it up!
The contenders think their only answer is to kill the birthright-holder
and then the treasure will be theirs.
Haven’t they seen what happened when they tried that with Yeshua?
Haven’t they figured it out yet?
You cannot strive against God and win.
His Kingdom is here and growing and it cannot be stopped.
You have given our nation a giant turn-around and a clarion call:
Rise up, America, and stand in the place of the birthright holder.
Rise up, America, and regain your righteousness before God.
Rise up, America, and understand your holy history.
Rise up, America, and read the beginning of the Book.
Rise up, O Lord, and scatter your enemies before You….and all who hate You flee in all directions.
For You have seen fit to grant this nation Your birthright.
Forgive us for despising this great blessing.
This is our call and our privilege and honor.
We are Your kids….Your birthright-holders.
Wake us up to our anointing and our destiny in You.
Help us to see the race before us and the finish line just ahead.
In Your strength, and for Your glory, we will run this race to the end.
HalleluYah!
