Jane Hamon: Who is Discipling Your Nation? (Matthew 28:19-20)
Jane speaks at Vision Church at Christian International on January 24, 2021. Quotes: “Jesus says there are nations out there that we've got to change, that we've got to teach, and that we've got to make disciples. That word disciple actually means to bring them into a schooling and teach them. I just want you to know, our nation is being discipled. The question is not, "Is our nation being discipled?" The question is, "Who is discipling our nation?" Because I would propose to you that mainstream media is discipling our nation. That Hollywood is discipling our nation, entertainers are discipling our nation. When God actually said to the church, It is your job to disciple nations. It is your job to set culture. It is your job to begin to steer the way that a nation goes.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

But let me just ask you something. Can something be God's will and not come to pass? It says in the scripture that it is God's will for all men to be saved - but are all men saved? Do you know that the scripture says it is God's will for everybody to be healed? But how many know not everybody is healed? Do we understand that? No, we don't. We are going to be talking a little bit this morning about how we move forward when we feel like we've known something was God's will but we are faced with a different reality in the world that we are living with.

I believe that God is looking for people that know how to contend for His will to come to pass in the earth. See, I believe that America shall be saved. I believe God has not changed His mind about the fact that God has His hand on America. God has not lifted His hand off America. Jesus taught us to pray this way. He said, learn to pray, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done here on earth as it is in heaven." 

This is not going to be a political message. This is going to be about how we pray, how we move forward, and how we understand God's purpose in this? Some people might wonder why we spend time praying for our nation? Why do we spend time praying for the nations around the world? Why do we spend time praying over elections and policies? 

I mean, after all, God says that we're not even citizens of this world. Do you know that our citizenship is in heaven? We have got to keep the perspective of understanding that our eternal citizenship is in heaven. But understanding God is about the nations that are in the earth. I want to take a few minutes and talk about how that nations are important to God If nations are important to God, they need to be important to us. There are some people that are of the mindset not to mix our spiritual journey of faith with the corruption of the world. 

I just think that is not what the Bible teaches at all. Let me help you understand where that teaching comes from. It comes from back in the first century from a group called the Gnostics who believed that the church needed to separate itself from the evils of the world and focus on everything spiritual but nothing natural. How many know that Jesus had a lot to say about natural things? Jesus had a lot to say about the natural world in which we live. 

We call this the great commission because Jesus was commissioning His church 2,000 years ago to go out and touch the nations. We need to understand that that commission hasn't changed, that mandate hasn't changed, that He's actually continuing to speak to us. It is very important for the church to understand that we are not just going to be introspective about what goes on inside our four walls. 

Jesus says there are nations out there that we've got to change, that we've got to teach, and that we've got to make disciples. That word disciple actually means to bring them into a schooling and teach them. I just want you to know, our nation is being discipled. The question is not, "Is our nation being discipled?" The question is, "Who is discipling our nation?" Because I would propose to you that mainstream media is discipling our nation. That Hollywood is discipling our nation, entertainers are discipling our nation. 

When God actually said to the church, It is your job to disciple nations. It is your job to set culture. It is your job to begin to steer the way that a nation goes. So when Jesus is talking about nations, I think it's very interesting if you go to the next slide to see what this word nations means. It is the word ethnos which is where we get the word ethnic or ethnicity and we often think that that means people of different races.
