Introduction
Our friend Gina Gholston has released a word that is very timely and encouraging. She reminds us to stay focused and keep what God has promised in the forefront of our thinking. He will keep His word. The title of her message is:
Promises Made, Promises Kept
Many within the Ekklesia are hearing the Lord say, “Don’t forget what I have said.” This is a powerful instruction for the Body of Christ. Some may look at the volatility in the atmosphere of our nation and world today and wrongly determine that things have fallen into irreversible chaos. The suggestions of those in the media and Hollywood paint a bleak picture, and the unfolding upheaval seems to validate their assessment. But God said that America shall be saved, and through prophetic words, dreams, and revelation, He has declared that we will experience another greater move of His Spirit in our times. We must believe and hold fast to what He has said. We cannot judge the validity of God’s Word and promises based on how things appear around us. What God has said is true. His verdict stands. He speaks with intent to perform His will in His time and in His way.
We must not allow ourselves to be rattled, influenced, or distracted by what hell is doing! We have to stay focused on the Lord and attentive to Holy Spirit. Be assured that God is NOT reacting to hell’s movements; hell is reacting to God’s movement! The chaos unfolding is not a sign that evil is prevailing; it is proof that God is moving, and hell is terrified!
As the Ekklesia, the Body of Christ, it is imperative that we remember and hold fast to what God has said! Trust Him. Remain focused on Him. Stay engaged in prayer and undaunted faith, and proceed with the mind of Christ, the wisdom of God, and Holy Spirit’s guidance and supervision!
God knows the end from the beginning. He is not operating from a modified script, writing it in response to the actions of people influenced by an evil agenda. God is working His plan of the ages that has been known and designed by Him from the foundation of the world. Though satan may rage, plan, plot, and scheme in an effort to overthrow and undo God’s plan, we are assured that victory belongs to Jesus! His victory has become our victory, and evil will not rewrite his-story. History is His-story.
A remnant company has remained obedient even in times of uncertainty and chaos. We have chosen to stay the course, believe in the Lord, hear and respond to His leading. Through it all, we have not been wasting time; we have been investing it. I heard the Lord say, “Your past obedience has led you to this moment and has created supply for your future. This is the time to go beyond. The glory on the path ahead is the fruit of past obedience now ready to be reaped. Past obedience has cast seeds ahead that have now blossomed into a harvest of supply. This will enable you to now advance with My purposes.”
Every act of obedience to Holy Spirit has mattered, creating access points for Him to enter our nation and appropriate His will. By His prompting and leading we anointed our borders and, in response, He anchored our nation to His original foreword. We buried arrowheads, and in response, He set things into motion to “spearhead another greater move” of His Spirit in our time. We prayed over our dams, power grids, and waterways, and in response, the Commander of the hosts of Heaven has sent angels on assignment, and they excel in strength to fulfill Yahweh’s purposes. We released a united shout, and in response, God is causing evil agendas to shatter and dismantle. Necessary actions have been and are being done. God’s plan is pushing forward. Our labor in the Lord has not been in vain.
Hell knows we are winning, though they try to convince us that we are falling behind. Through the voices of media personalities and others, evil narratives are desperately being propagated in an attempt to advance a deceptive version of America’s future. But the truth is that God’s original story remains, and He sees what is ahead. His plans for this nation – His Words and His promises – are forever settled.
On May 22, 2025, Holy Spirit dropped this statement into my spirit: “There’s a plot twist coming.” Though I understood what the words implied, I still did an online search to find a clear definition. I found this statement: “A plot twist is a surprising turn of events that changes the narrative’s trajectory, that can leave the audience in awe, questioning everything they thought they knew about the story.”(1) I asked the Lord for more understanding, and heard Him say, “There is a twist in the plot that is coming—a plot twist. The story is about to take an unexpected turn. It will be a change that many never saw coming. I am turning things. Some believe their version of the story is written and cannot be changed. They gloat in their misguided belief that their agenda is secured, but the twist is coming…. The plot is about to change.”
In a quick vision, I once saw a page in a book being turned to the beginning of a new chapter. The next page looked blank, but suddenly words began to appear. I then heard the Lord say, “There’s another part of the story I have written that you know not of. I know the story! I wrote the story, and now what I have determined will come into view.”
Hell is not writing the story; God wrote the story. He knows how everything will turn out. He knows what is coming next. He’s the Author, and He has also committed Himself to be the Finisher of the story! He is declaring to His Ekklesia, “I have not forgotten what I’ve said. I haven’t forgotten My promises. Don’t you forget what I said. Don’t you forget My promises. Trust Me. Not one word that I have spoken will fail!”
Pray with me:
Father, You sit in the heavens and laugh as nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing (Psalm 2). From the foundations of the world, You have known and established Your plan of the ages. You are the Author of the story, and You know the end from the beginning. Though some may gloat and believe that their perverted version of America’s future is written and cannot be changed, the next chapter of the story YOU have written and declared is coming into view. The plot twist is about to be revealed, and the trajectory of their misguided narrative will be turned as it is confronted by the undeniable revelation of Your truth. You have the final say!
As Your Ekklesia, Lord, we have obeyed and followed You into this “next chapter” of the story, and we continue to hold fast to Your covenantal promises. We look to You with confident expectation that all You have written and spoken will be fulfilled. Not one word You have spoken will fail, nor any promises be broken! You are the Author of the story, and will finish what You have started.
Strengthen the intercessors. You said those who wait on You will run and not grow weary, walk and not faint. You said they will rise like eagles above the storm (Isaiah 40:31). You said we would go from strength to strength (Psalm 84:7). We receive this supernatural strength now, and receive the grace and glory You also promised in this Psalm (Psalm 84:11). All of this we pray in Yeshua’s name. Amen.
Our decree:
We declare that God is the Author of the story, and not one word He has spoken will fail!

Awesome words of encouragement and updates. Thank you so much, Dutch, for leading us in thoughts, understanding, and prayer for the nation, and in turn, nations! I have come to understand more fully how important is prayer and speaking God's word. He is faithful to His Word and promises. You are a faithful man and servant of God and full of integrity. God bless you and Cece and your team! We appreciate you!
Just yesterday I was thinking of all the chaos being reported and how unstable life in America has become. But, as I was thinking those thoughts, Holy Spirit reminded me of the prayers and actions of obedience and faith that many of us prayed and decreed months ago. I was comforted by that reminder. And today's GH15 is such a blessing of confirmation what He was reminding me of yesterday!
I am confident that His plan is unfolding in ways we cannot imagine. America shall be saved and there is revival coming to all the nations...
Is it ok to write a bit more here? These thoughts that I posted elsewhere a half hour ago might be meaningful to some of you here, on the matter of what God has told us, and how He's bringing it to fulfillment - We seem to be getting very close to the fulfillment of several Biblical prophecies - of Zechariah 12, Ezekiel 38-39, and Isaiah 18 - all of which are likely showing us aspects of the same future event. Here are two pieces that feel like good descriptions of things that are happening right now:
Zechariah 12:6
In that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a burning torch among sheaves.…
Yes - I like this one. Pretty much the same place that my heart is resting this morning - in full confidence that God knows where each puzzle piece needs to go, and step by step is piecing them all together.
