The USAGC 2026 Prayer and Vision



The USAGC 2026 Prayer is that the Great Commission is fulfilled in the United States of America on or by 31 December 2026. It's that all people accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and believe in John 3:16.

It's also for revival and for the Great Commission to be fulfilled in the world.

Any time you see 'USAGC 2026', that is what it means.

Why USAGC 2026?: Part 2



When I bought the book, "The Circle Maker," I had no idea it would be by far the best $11 I have spent in a long time. It will be a book I read over and over again--probably at least once a year. I cannot recommend it enough, needless to say. As a matter of fact, I think that if anyone ever decides to join me in this prayer campaign, I will make it suggested reading (I can't very well force anyone to read it, otherwise I would call it Required Reading.).

By the way, if you want to start reading the book, have a highlighter and your journal ready! Trust me. You will need them!

Oh! Here is one other layer. I keep up with the Christian publishing world and had not seen this book. When I bought the book, I somehow missed how 13 December 2011 was its release date. Now that I know that, I find this even more interesting. It adds to the story here and what God is doing in my life.

Then, God woke me up in the middle of the night Tuesday night. That was after I only got 4 hours of sleep the night before. Monday night, I tossed and turned and ended up reading for a while. I did not realize then that God was stirring. then, Tuesday night, I knew precisely what was going on--when I decided to read the book and see if it might help me go back to sleep. Not because it's a boring book (NO!!!), but because I have my body trained that if I am in bed reading, to get sleepy and go to sleep. Hah. It kept me up journaling for 3 hours. The sentence God opened with was:

What if I want you to stop writing?

Whoa! 

What? 

Then, yesterday, after lots of prayer and reading the book, God got through to me. He told me about USAGC 2026. Now, here I am...

I hope you hear how this is so unlike me! It's quite terrifying. It goes against everything I am and have done for 18 years. It doesn't make sense on the surface (but, oh how it does underneath!). God can surely use millions of people far more qualified for this than me. I'm just Stacy. That's it. Nothing fancy. Just me. 

So, there is part of the background. There is more. Some of which is quite personal. In 6 months or less, I will tell you to come back to this blog post and will tell you more of what is going on in my life. Let me just say that God is working in some amazing, remarkable, befuddling ways. I can't help but chuckle and say, "'Kay."

There. Now you have it. That's the story of USAGC 2046.

WHY THE YEAR 2026?
God wants a commitment from me that stretches me in ways that are terrifying and dumbfounding. He wants a commitment from me that seems impossible. Then, he can show that he is God! 2026 is 25 years from now. 

Can the Great Commission be fulfilled in the USA in 25 years? Well, the Bible doesn't mention anything like that. Let's be real here. But, does that mean it won't? God can do anything--and I mean anything. I know how much of a miracle it would be, but yes. It's possible.

However... That being said... If only one person accepts Christ as their Lord and Savior in the next 25 years because of my prayers, it will have been worthwhile. More than. 

Nevertheless, I am going to pray now with everything I've got that the Great Commission will be brought to fruition in the United States of America by or on 31 December 2026. 

If that doesn't happen, I will then commit to 2051. If not then, I will commit to 2076--if I live that long! That's how much God wants me to get serious about his people... his lost sheep. 

And, how about you? Have you done anything crazy lately?

Why USAGC 2026? How did it come about in the process?: The Back-Story: Part 1


(Please forgive me for writing a book here, but it is needed.)

I do not know about you, but I always like to know the back-story. I love to peek behind the curtain and see what happens behind the scenes. Consequently, in case you are like me, I wanted to let you know how USAGC 2026 came about and why. (Never mind how I thought anyone might find my story interesting so that you can see how God is at work in USAGC 2026--in spite of me.)

I hope this story might help you to decide to make a deeper, long-term commitment with the world that is life-changing and join me in this prayer campaign.

The back-story is like an onion. There are so many layers I could peel back. There are years worth, as a matter of fact. However, I will spare you most of the details. Some of them are necessary, though.

When I was 19, I made a commitment to following the Lord and his Word far deeper than I ever had before. Prayer was my passion. Almost two decades later, not much has changed. On 01 November 2011, the Lord called me again to the deeper, more intimate life in the Word and in Jesus Christ.

I made a commitment to start writing books back in 2001, but have known since I was 10 years old that was what I wanted to do. Then, in May 2009, I made a full-time commitment to write. (Thank God for my husband!)

But, let me back up again in the story and peel off a couple more layers of the onion of my faith life. In Omaha, I had 20 close friends. We saw each other a few times EACH week. I was in two small group Bible weekly studies. Then, my husband and I moved to Virginia back in July 2011. I can count on one hand how many friends we have here. In fact, I don't even need all my fingers. I am not in a Bible study. I am in a different season at the moment. So, in Omaha, I did not write as much as I preferred. While here, I have more time than imaginable to write, do personal Bible studies, and pray. 

Now, having given that background, you need to know something. The Great Commission has always intimidated me. Go into ALL the world. Preach the gospel... It seemed like too much commitment to me. My heart has never personally been in full-time missions. I support them, but the USA is my home... There isn't a calling for missions. Nor is my calling to walk up to people on the street and ask them if they know Jesus. Yikes. Just the thought terrifies me. What would I say? 

So, did you read the previous blog post at: http://usagc2026.blogspot.com/2011/12/announcement-and-news.html? I ask that you read it at this time if you have not read it so you can get more of the layers and story here. Please do not read any more until you do. 

Welcome back. Now, do you hear how much of a 360 I've been asked to do? This is HUGE. This is so not me it's unreal. 

Are you tearing up? I am peeling back more layers once again. 

On Tuesday, 13 December 2011, I sat here at my desk. I was minding my own business and writing when I got an interesting email. Here is the link for it: http://www.salememail.net/amdhfp/ViewMessage.do?s=ojfrzmtlrfrtqlvkgncsctmqjggqfwtczzv&r=nrydyftdwkwt&a=view&m=yscbgbflfc. Again, please go there before you read any further. It is another layer. (Please humor me.) And, yes. Some advertising and sales works. This is proof. 

Huh! I thought the book listed at that link, "The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears" by Mark Batterson sounded quite captivating. So, I went to this link (only go there if you want more information on the book or if you want to buy it.): http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Maker-Praying-Greatest-ebook/dp/B005EGK0MI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1323972009&sr=1-1

I was sold in about 30 seconds. I immediately purchased the book for my Amazon Kindle Fire (another God-sent which has completely transformed my faith. I am not kidding. I carry my Bibles, prayer journal, and Bible studies with me 24/7/365 now and am without excuse for not reading the Word, praying, prayer journaling, etc. But, I digress.) Then, I started to read it. 

The link that is the sale email states how "The Circle Maker" will give your prayer life a 360 is not a joke. It's not over-promising. The book delivers on that promise. The kicker... I will confess something to you. I am only 40% of the way through the book and my faith and life has been totally changed. I cannot underscore this enough. 

Please see Part 2 for the rest of the story. It's the next blog post.

It's time to get serious about prayer and the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20

Our 'mediocre, hit and miss, fast-food, when we feel like it, short-cutting, will get to sometime type' faith just isn't working.

Something is missing in our lives.

Our faith is dull at times.

Fewer and fewer Christians are reading the Bible--let alone yearly.

We aren't praying without ceasing or stopping (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

We are not meditating and pondering the Word of God morning, noon, and night (Psalm 1:2). 

And then we wonder why the United States is becoming less and less of a Christian nation. The unbelievers are partly to blame... but, the Church as a whole in the USA is to blame. We are missing the mark. 

We are not living what Jesus told the disciples in Matthew 28:19-20. 

So... It's time to get serious about our faith, about prayer, about the Bible, and fulfilling the Great Commission here in the United States. 

It's my goal that in the next 25 years (between now and 31 December 2026), if not sooner, for ALL of the United States to believe in John 3:16 (hence, for everyone to become Christian) and that we will be living an active, intentional, on-fire, immersed in the Word of God 24/7/365 life as a country. The only way this will happen is through radically committed hearts, minds, and lives--of prayer warriors (current and future) to pray for revival and the Great Commission on the United States of America. 

Would you like to join me in this prayer campaign? If so, please let me know. Either add a comment to this blog or send me an email to: aloyalfaith@gmail.com

USAGC 2026 starts today--15 December 2011 at 9:10 a.m. (Eastern Time).

Why the USAGC 2026 and What is the USAGC 2026?



This is a prayer campaign for all of the USA to:
* Believe John 3:16
* Be in revival.
* Live the Word of God.
* Live an intentional, on-fire faith.
* Fulfill the Great Commission for our nation on or by 31 December 2026.

Welcome to USAGC 2026



Welcome to USAGC 2026.

25 years from 31 December 2011, it's the goal of USAGC to pray for the United States of America to have more Christians than ever--and more than any country. Of course, the prayer will be for all of the USA to believe in Jesus Christ and the Word of God. 

Do you want to join me in this massive prayer campaign? It will take a long-term commitment.

May the USA become a Christian nation, on fire for Jesus Christ and the Bible.

You can email me at aloyalfaith@gmail.com or add a comment to any of these blog posts and let me know if you would like to join me in this prayer campaign.

Blessings,

Stacy Duplease
