ReignDown USA brought an evening of worship, prayer and repentance to Riverside Park in New Bedford, MA on August 21, 2010. New Bedford was once known as the City of Lights but more recently the area has become very depressed, much like the inner city projects, and surrounded in darkness. We prayed for the light to shine into the darkness and that repentance would fall. God showed himself as His light shone through the storm clouds that evening. We believe that God showed us that this gathering was for the children and they would be leading their parents to Christ and that they would be the ones bringing revival to the area. Pastor Bjorn Pedersen also prayed over many people a special anointing as spiritual warriors.
ReignDown USA brought an evening of worship, prayer and repentance to Elliot Park in Minneapolis on September 29, 2009. We also helped lead a Chapel service at North Central University. We were called in to break the stronghold of Satan over that area. We were called in to break forth a cry of repentance. And when we left that evening we could feel the presence of God—we could feel the shift take place. We believe that revival, true revival from the Lord, cannot happen without repentance. Our call is to bring forth repentance so that God can move and revival can happen. That evening we saw God manifest Himself and deliver many people of the chains that were binding them. We also saw God move during Chapel. We believe that what happened that morning during Chapel was only a precursor of what is to come. Check out just a few of the photos from our time there.
The Bible promises, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what GOD has prepared for those who love Him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). This was especially true on April 26, 2008 on the Capitol grounds in Washington D.C., in your home, in your town, all over America, and all over the world. The following is just a glimpse of what we never could have imagined God would do for us:
A massive storm with life-threatening tornadoes, heavy rain and winds, and lightning was heading straight towards where we were set up at the Mall in D.C. The National Park Service issued one warning to us saying that after three warnings—or the first bolt of lightning—they were going to pull the plug and ReignDown USA would not happen. Realizing it was beyond our control, with less than an hour until the event was to start, we got on our knees and cried out for God to divert the storm to the North and the South. We called upon the power of the Holy Spirit for the winds to shift from the West to the East and blow the storm away from us. As we cried out on our knees and begged God to move… He did! The wind shifted! The Park Service, watching the weather radar, said that somehow the storm cell was shifting its course and heading to the North. Remembering the power of God in that moment brings tears to our eyes.
Though the call was extended to the President of the United States, he was unable to attend. But God, in order to fulfill His vision, sent a man of authority from the Capitol—with a tender heart for the Lord—to stand in the President’s place. Congressman Trent Franks would come not only to read a proclamation that the President made at the request of ReignDown USA; he would fall to his knees as tears streamed down his cheeks, repenting, putting the final brush strokes on the picture of God’s vision. Not only did Congressman Franks do this, he participated the entire evening. He knelt down in his suit to pray with children and spoke with many.
People from all over the world stood with us on that day and participated at their computers and televisions. Coverage was provided by both a Christian and a secular network. People sent e-mails from all over the world as they watched in tears, saying that the power of the Holy Spirit was filling them, and they could only weep, fall to their knees, and repent.
