America is in desperate need to wake up from the sins that are plaguing it.
In a recent livestream, Isaiah Saldivar discussed the reality that the modern-day Christians in America must share their faith boldly and earnestly while running further away from sin and the grave.
“The call that God has for you, America, for His church, for this nation, is so much better than the plan that we have,” Saldivar says.
Saldivar points out that one of the things the American church is in desperate need of at the moment is an alarm, a call to start preaching the gospel instead of running away from it. Instead of embracing sin, we are living in a moment and time when God has strategically placed us so here in this day and age so we can tell the message of Christ to a lost and broken world.

“We need a wakeup call in America. We need revival in America. We need a wakeup call in the American church,” Saldivar says.
“It’s not okay for us not to be sharing our faith with friends and family and co-workers,” he continues. “There’s a problem and it’s silent Christians. It’s Christians that don’t share their faith, that don’t stand up for God, that don’t proclaim the gospel, that don’t walk in the fire of God.”

Saldivar points out that what people need is not the message that God doesn’t care, heal or exist. Instead, they need the true, powerful message of the gospel to keep transform their lives.
“Jesus came in power and authority and moved in signs and wonders,” Saldivar says. “[He] still heals and still restores and still saves people by the power of His Holy Spirit. God wants to change people. God wants to be real to people.”
God does not desire for us to be lukewarm. Instead, it is His desire to see us radically on fire for the message of the gospel.
“Who said Christians could not be radical?” Saldivar asks. “All the disciples were bold. All so bold that all of them were killed for their faith. All of them were martyred for their faith. John, they couldn’t even kill. They put him on the island of Patmos and he died on the island.”
Instead of falling into the acceptance of sin of the world and embracing it like Sodom and Gomorrah, this is the time for Christians to leave behind fear and embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
