Jesus Come Revive America

Dr. Debra J. Dean

Description

Are you going to heaven or hell when you die? Are Americans doomed to go to hell for living in such an evil and adulterous nation? Jesus Come Revive America prepares Americans for the next Great Awakening. It is essential that we know the truth, be willing to boldly and courageously speak the truth, prepare and pray for revival, and commit to living in the world but not of the world.
Jesus Come Revive America answers the question, “Where are all the Christians” and moves beyond the apparent decline of morality in the country to a call of action for Christians to emerge with boldness, courage, and prayer for awakening.
The author also emphasizes that the most important decision a person will make in their entire life is to follow Jesus. That one decision determines their future. That one decision will determine if they spend eternity in heaven or in hell.
She considers questions such as:
• Are we living in a world of wickedness that is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah?
• Why has there been such a decline in common sense and morality over the past decade?
• Is there one sin worse than all other sins that will prohibit a person from going to heaven?
This book is a user-friendly approach to reading the Bible, understanding historical events, and practically implementing the Bible’s teachings in today’s world. It incorporates archeology, anthropology, geography, history, philosophy, sociology, and theology to help Americans prepare for the next Great Awakening. The author wrote the book with much prayer for divine wisdom to emerge on the pages for each reader.
Dr. Debra J. Dean, a faithful follower of Jesus, expands on the lives of regular people like Esther and Gideon, along with the Apostle Paul and Jesus Christ, to highlight how they were bold and courageous. In doing so, she reveals how we can apply the same zeal for God today as we prepare for revival and learn to live a holy lifestyle.
The author is also a co-founder of His Kingdom Matters ministry, whose vision is that we will unite as a community of believers to support and equip one another while fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and the Greatest Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40). In doing so, a spiritual revival will spread like wildfire across the globe like never before seen as souls are saved and lives are touched by Kingdom members in practical and miraculous ways.

PRAISES FOR JESUS COME REVIVE AMERICA
Frank Sinclair, Chief Encouragement Officer at Dream Again, LLC, says:
Dr. Debra J. Dean’s new book will rip our hearts out in a good way. Jesus Come Revive America is yes a treatise on the enormity of the falling away America has experienced but also a remedy for our ills. I sat with bated breath as the unveiling of my own heart took place and I had to ask, “forgive me for I have sinned.” I have known Dr. Debra for a number of years now and she genuinely longs for revival. She is no arm chair quarterback or ivory tower referee who sits and makes judgments. She has gone through the fire of life and is a testament of resilience and faithfulness. She will stand for truth even if it means standing alone. I am honored to call her friend. Read this wonderful book, then reread it and deal vulnerably with your own heart in this matter and join Dr. Dean in her mission to see America revived.
Dr. Charles Olmeda, the Lead Pastor at Transformation Church, says:
Dr. Debra Dean unequivocally and unapologetically pierces through the moral - or immoral - minutia of political and cultural instability juxtaposed against Biblical orthodoxy. At the onset, one would think her lens stems from some sort of radical conservative individual frustrated about how things were, are, and ought to be. That is furthest from the truth! Truth is, that her academic acumen, well-researched data, sound Biblical perspective, and personal journey speaks otherwise.
This book will prompt you to think critically about the condition of America and the pulse of Christianity. More importantly, it begs the question, “what role do I play in the vibrancy of a Christ-centered, Bible-based, Spirit-filled, Kingdom-minded lifestyle that will usher in an end-time revival?”
Joshua Henson, Pastor, Professor, Coach, and Consultant, says:
Dr. Debra Dean’s book Jesus Come Revive America: Forgive Us for We Have Sinned provides an insightful, challenging, and compelling argument for the need for true revival in American society. From chapter to chapter, Dr. Dean interweaves personal stories, current and historical events, and biblical principles to express what I believe is the heart of God for His children. As I read through the book, some moments stopped me in my tracks. I could feel my heart break for America’s sons and daughters as Dr. Dean communicated—often through her own experiences—the perils of a society that has turned away from God. Amid all the sin and chaos, Dr. Dean reminds her readers of the answer: “Father, forgive us for we have sinned.” I encourage you to read this book and invest in your spiritual development as God uses Dr. Dean’s words to speak into your life.
Dr. Jasmine Baker, Senior Program Manager, U.S. Navy, says:
This book will refresh so many who are thirsty for God’s presence. I am so glad you finished it…it also taught me some essential historical data that helps me be more fully equipped to continue teaching the gospel.

FOREWARD
Dear Dr. Debra J. Dean,
Congratulations on not only completing the first year of “His Kingdom Matters” monthly educational programs but on seizing the full story in your book Jesus Come Revive America: Forgive Us for We Have Sinned. As your sister-In-Christ, I am humbled and overjoyed to review your work of faith.
After reading your book, I avow that being an “outcast” in a sinner’s world is good. Your work is a necessary reminder of God’s intentions for humanity and His loving kindness. You are bold and courageous like the founding woman and men of this nation, and a believer, as I am, that the United States of America can be a haven for the world to grow in consciousness once again and to live for Christ. Your raw, gut-wrenching honesty and vulnerability show us that “Jesus is with me, always .”
Your book is a commitment to love, not condemnation, “to lift us up and align our thoughts and actions with scripture in pursuit of living a life for Christ” and to sin-less. For Christians (backslidden and closeted) and non-Christians, it instigates a re-emergence of faith and family values for oneself or with your neighbors for the good of all. It teaches us how to increase consciousness and biblical knowledge, connecting to others and with Christ with specific prayers, acts of encouragement, and suggestions for biblical readings and other approaches.
This book has a casual, down-to-earth, yet thought-provoking style mixing well-researched history, geography, biblical scriptures, and your prayers, hopes, and experiences. Your vulnerable testimony encourages readers not to “wait and see” but to choose Christ daily.
Have we disobeyed and abandoned God? Yes. But can we repent and revive? Yes. There is hope, not to revise but to learn our history and to act now to avoid disappearing in the rubble soon… maybe even tomorrow. Through sanctification (moving from a state of sin) to glorification (a state of holiness), our faith is truly active. This is clear from your intense and authentic wake-up call.
In Christ’s Love,
Dr. Elaine C. Long , Christ-Follower, researcher, professor, and writer of “Faith at Work: People, Places, Practices, and Tools”
PREFACE
This book has been a long time coming and has involved much prayer from the author, her prayer team, ministry members of His Kingdom Matters, and many more people that have a heart to share the gospel with all people and the desire to save the soul of this once great nation. The three main events that have made this book a reality are (1) completing a doctoral degree at Regent University, (2) personal experiences of religious persecution, and (3) a conversation with a member of the White House Faith and Opportunities Initiative.
Dr. Dean had no idea what a doctoral degree from Regent University would do to her personally. At the beginning of her search for a school, she was primarily concerned with one that would allow her to complete the degree online and would not require her to take time away from her family and work for residency. Soon after acceptance into the program in 2013, she realized that it was a conservative Christian program that would likely result in spiritual warfare as she sought to have more of God in her life than in previous years. One of the best pieces of advice that she received was from the head of the program, who advised her to prioritize her responsibilities: (a) God first, (b) family second, (c) work third, and (d) school. Anything extra should be put on hold while pursuing the degree because there would not be time. That advice was essential to finishing the doctoral degree on Valentine’s Day 2017 with her dissertation titled, Religion and Spirituality in the Workplace: A quantitative evaluation of job satisfaction and organizational commitment . This degree radically changed her life. Perhaps it was the timing of the events in her workplace and the world around her, but this degree truly seems like it was a gift from God at the right time and at the right place.
As Dr. Dean learned more about integrating scripture into her daily life, she began to feel like she didn’t belong in the world. She became guarded with the television programs she watched, the music she listened to, and the books she read. She was careful to guard herself to stay sensitive to the things of this world that would be important for Jesus to pay attention to. In other words, when watching worldly television, listening to worldly music, and immersing oneself in a worldly lifestyle, it seems as if the ways of the world are normal and acceptable. One will become desensitized if always immersed in the sin of the world. Dr. Dean did not want that for hersel
