In South Korea there are millions of Pentecostals and more rising....Does this tell us the Holy Spirit is giving up mostly on America and going elsewhere?
America needs to be on her knees crying out to God to get us in the Holy place he has called us to.

I'm not sure the rise of Pentecostals in South Korea is a tell-tale sign the Spirit has given up on America but your point is still well taken. We are not the Christian nation we once were. Somewhere we confused freedom OF religion with freedom FROM religion. And while forced religion actually goes against Christianity, the complete removal of religion from our society that some are seeking will eventually bring about the downfall of the entire country.

Because God is active in one place, does not indicate He is inactive somewhere else. We should pray that those people be saved, and get their theology straight.
It is unfortunate, but there are many fraudulent teachers, even there in Korea among the pentecostalish types.
As far as America, there are some churches left, obviously. But liberal theology has weakened much, and the seduction of the church has been going on for some time now. Seduced away by the things of the world, by what society has said, and how society has defined things.

I wouldn't worry too much about competition from South Korea. I know many Koreans, and while it's true that a great many were converted by Pentecostals in the years following the Korean War, the younger generation is beginning to realize how insane fundamentalism is, and is slowly returning to rationality.

Hardly any cause for concern, given that the Pentecostals do not own the Holy Spirit. Indeed, the antics of Pentecostals might not be inspired by the Holy Spirit at all.

It tells us nothing. Should you, as a Pentecostal, not rejoice over all the saved lives that are now going to heaven with you? Or do you sincerely think only Americans can go to heaven?

The Holy Spirit does no Give up on us so easily.
Yes, America does need to be on it's knees to God, But these Atheist Secularist are hardening their hearts against God. You know, I truley believe that when God shows Himself to be a Fact, these Hard Hearted Atheist will Shake their fist at God spitting and screaming as if to say "How dare you prove you exist !!!! How dare you !!! even as they are being thrown into Hell .
Sad isn't it ?

There are plenty of different denominations in S Korea, don't worry.
The spirit dwells with people who invite it.

"America needs to be on her knees crying out to God to get us in the Holy place he has called us to."
Why don't you just move to South Korea?
America doesn't need to be "on her knees" to anyone, especially to delusional churches. If you can't put your nation ahead of your church, leave America alone.

Based on what?
You're simply making this up, with no evidence whatsoever.
Your childish behavior isn't helping your religion at all. One doesn't have to be "hard hearted" to reject the mindless hatred you're pushing, kid. We reject you because you don't have the strength of character needed to behave yourself properly.

We butcher 3,836 pre-born children a day in the US, someone and it is us, will answer for that. Then throw in the points of 'gay marriage' condoms in school, while God is banned, Yeah God is turning his face away from us.

There is no limit to the extent of space as far as the holy spirit is concerned.
