September 26, 2009: A day to remember. The start of a momentum. Crossing over many denominational, generational, and racial boundaries, the bride of Christ came together as one with this prayer on their hearts, “Lord, awaken PA to our destiny and may all the words that You have spoken over this state come into fruition so that the nations will know that you are Lord”.
After realizing the desires of William Penn, the founder of PA, and the many prophetic words spoken, PA Awake! was started to call God’s people to cry out for the purposes of God to be done. With the motto “Not just a moment, it’s a momentum”, this launching event on September 26, was filled with much worship and high praise. Throughout the day, we were also led in prayer by spiritual and governmental leaders like Lou Engle (Kansas City, MO), Senator Stewart Greenleaf, and many others. As our worship and prayer ascended on high the flood gates of heaven opened up and the rain and winds came. Definitely a picture of what God was doing in the spiritual realm, watering the seed of revival in our hearts so that it may grow. So with ponchos out and umbrellas raised high we continued to cry out for revival in our land. We believe that the Lord heard every prayer that we prayed even though the event was cut short because of the weather.
So the call goes out to all of us to awaken from our slumber so that we can pray and be a part of the revival that God wants to send to Pennsylvania. To learn more about upcoming events or the history log on to www.paawake.org. You can help bring Pennsylvania into all the purposes that God has.
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land”

PA Awake!October 2, 2009
Angie, I didn’t know you were there! I was there with some of my sons. The rain may have cut short the day, but we prayed until after 4 pm despite it – took it as a token of God’s favor.
I wanted to post here that I had a vision that the pastor of the sponsoring church in Harrisburg allowed me to share. It happened during the first pre-event worship time a Monday evening at their church, two weeks before the event. I saw the heart of the Father come down into the Body of those worshippers who would receive it. From those receiving this living, beating heart, with tendrils projecting from it, the arteries spread out to the larger Body of Christ (in this case, pertaining to those crying out for revival in the churches and righteous government in Pennsylvania). The blood (covenant) that pumped through that heart was what called to life even the dry bones lying on the ground.
I mention it because at the PA Awake event, the vision kept returning as we worshipped and interceded that the Lord was using His heart (through those who would receive it) to awaken sleeping members. Like when your arm of leg “goes to sleep” because it has been inactive, sitting too long, etc., the blood must get into circulation again to awaken the limbs.
Wow! I am from Villanova University and last semester we started a prayer group on campus and God told us to name it “AWAKE”!!!
Dear Mr. LeRoy Whitman,
Today 5/10/2010, I heard a radio ad for the gateway house of prayer in Ephrata and heard its web site. When I checked it out, I was drawn to the blog link PA AWAKE!
I played the link to the introduction video of PA Awake. After this I read your response.I felt that I should contact you. It has been awhile and I have gotten end stage renal disease and must be on dialysis in order to life. I have really been robbed of my energy by this so I have severly pulled back on my Christian activities.
Back in August of 2004, I was given a vision in response to my prayer for the Lord to show or tell me when and where the revival of America would start. The vision was of a typographical map of PA hanging on a wall. An arrow hit it and then from that arrows tip a flame started and spread out in all four directions. I was very observant of where the tip hit in pennsylvania. It was near Middletown. I asked where specifically and He said at the Life Center in Harrisburg. I asked when ? He said I will tell you when the time is to release the Pensacola Blessing there. Finally in August 2006 He told me to release it there in Sept. 2006.
I told Pastor Bryan Leech about it. I release it there on the third week of Sept. 2006.
But nothing visible or spiritual wise was seen for a year and I asked the Lord what was wrong. He said that most of the people of not only PA, but of the whole nation were not willing to receive revival bcause they were more happy with material pursuits. Revival will come to those who want and seek it, but not to the others.
I was also at that time given the strong sense that they were like asleep.I’m pleased to see that the Lord has spoken to others and the action that PA Awake is taking. Like: joining together as one in prayer to pray God’s dream for PA into reality, the govt. of PA is destined to serve as a holy example to nations, God will not forget His dream declared through William Penn, and revival will come to the hearts of those who will receive it.(I am having great trouble typing these words with proper punctuation. Something in the software is refusing to put some words and phrases where I want them to be.So you will know when you see some evidence of this.). I thought maybe you might want to share that with others to enhance confirmation from someone that has been out of circulation due to weakness and illness.
Sincerely,
Gery Huffman
