He’s Taking Out the Trash

In Tim Sheets / Rachel Shafer’s new book Glory River, Tim recounts a powerful vision from 2021 concerning a spiritual tsunami, a landscape-changing move of God impacting America. Here is a portion of the vision and Tim’s comments:

The Sound of the Lion King’s Roar

I began to hear, in the Spirit realm, the deep-throated roar of a lion king. When a lion king roars, the sound vibrates through the ground. We’re told the roar can be heard up to two miles away. He roars to gather his pride (family group), and he roars to answer an enemy’s intrusion. If another lion king comes into his territory, he will roar. In the mornings, especially, and also late into the evening, he will also roar. Why? Because he’s declaring ownership of his territory.

I knew in this vision that our lion king, King Jesus, was roaring in proclamation, “This is My world. This is My territory. I will answer the intrusion. I will gather My pride. I will gather My Ekklesia. I will gather My willing ones for battle. America is My nation. It’s Mine, it’s Mine, it’s Mine. I birthed it, and I made covenant with it. I will not lose it, and I will not back down. I will battle for this nation. I will anoint My Ekklesia for new battles, and I’m going to anoint them to win the old battles. I will not lose this.”

The Spirit’s Decree

At that point in the vision, I said, “Holy Spirit, give me a decree concerning this roar.” Most often, when I hear something like this, I form a faith decree and begin to decree it myself. But for whatever reason, I didn’t this time.

I said, “Holy Spirit, You make the decree, and I’ll just recite it. You decree something.” Well, He did decree, and it went all through me. I heard Him decree, “HELL DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE!” I believe that and had it printed on hundreds of wristbands for us to wear as a reminder. I mean, wow! Hell doesn’t have a chance!

We need to move forward with the understanding that our God is big enough to handle whatever comes next. Whether it’s an antichrist government, or liberal progressive woke-ism seeking to displace our God—whatever it is, it doesn’t matter, and it doesn’t have a chance.

The Cleansing Wave

It was at this point in the vision that I saw the wave: a huge wave, building in intensity, far out in the ocean. I was on the shoreline, looking out, and could see that something was building offshore. The beach I was standing on was not a pristine beach you might see. It was a garbage dump, trashed with junk and debris everywhere!

I looked out over the shoreline again and saw the rising water moving our way. It kept coming and coming, growing and growing, building and building. This continued until, finally, it became a gigantic wave that accelerated and crashed the shoreline. As it then receded, it dragged all the debris, trash piles, and garbage back out in the undertow.

What was left behind was now an immaculate beach, clean and beautiful. And I knew a huge wave of the Holy Spirit was building, and, at this point, few would even notice. It’s so far off, and they aren’t paying attention. But it’s been building and building, and like a train that comes over the side of a mountain and starts downhill, it’s gaining momentum and will not stop.

It will crash upon abominations, demonic debris, and defilement in our land. The undertow of this huge wave will drag the demonic debris to sea, destroying it. The King is rising through His church and declares that HELL DOESN’T HAVE A CHANCE! Nothing is going to stop this tsunami wave. It’s going to cause worldwide reformation and reset. Hell will not prevail.

I then began to see, as if in a panoramic view, a zooming in on this vision of what was happening. I saw that the enemy had built his strongholds on sand. Well, of course they were. In the eyes of our God, the forever loser has built sand castles. They look good. They look impressive until the waves come, but then the fall will be great.

I knew that a powerful wave of Holy Spirit was building a tidal wave of glory, power, miracles, and angel armies, rising like a Holy Spirit tsunami that will not be stopped.

It was at that point Holy Spirit reminded me of a word I’ve released before, and it is one of the boldest things that He has ever spoken to me. I know this word is in its moment. He said, with a passion that stirs me to this day, “I will not be God emeritus to this nation.” He meant it then, and He means it now. He continued:

“I will not be God emeritus. Don’t be shaken, but I won’t be God emeritus. I will not be America’s retired God. I will not be an honorary God. I won’t be just a figurehead God. I will not be a bystander.”

Hell is hoping God will be a bystander, but He said in Hebrews 12:28 (NLT), “Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping Him with holy fear and awe.”

God continued to speak to me: “I will not be a bystander, holding a title position with no active role. I will not be supplanted by Baal, acknowledged as present, but irrelevant…not listened to…no ruling capacity. I will not stand down from my position.”

God is about to take out the garbage. He’s going to take out the trash. A God tsunami is coming. For some it will be painful. It has to be a deep cleansing because the iniquity is entrenched. But what seems bitter will become sweet. That’s His promise. His tsunami will clear the way for revival waves and the river of God.

Pray with me:

Father, when we hear prophetic words and visions, we do not treat them as bystanders. They are not spiritual entertainment; they are marching orders, our marching orders. They are prayer assignments.

So we ask that Your tsunami-wave continues to cleanse and beautify this nation. Release the sound, the roar of the Lion King that causes the powers of darkness in the nation to become dislodged. Advance Your unshakable Kingdom and release Your Glory River, bringing life and healing wherever it flows.

And Lord, we declare that You will not be treated as a distant deity, as God-emeritus of America. You are Lord. You are King. You are the life-giving Ruler of heaven and earth, and this nation will once again trust in You. In Your name we pray, amen.

Our decree: 

We decree that God is pouring out His unstoppable, ever-increasing, ever-intensifying Glory River… and hell doesn’t stand a chance.

Seismic Significance

On Monday, I gave a brief report regarding this past Friday night’s prayer gathering, but today is my first complete post since the event. I was totally exhausted from the weeks leading up to it and the lengthy service that night. I’m sure I wasn’t functioning at 100% while praying for people personally at the end, but my dear friends Rodney and Stephanie Lord joined me and, without a doubt, carried the load. Thanks to the two of them! (And if I prayed for you and it seemed I was not quite myself, please forgive me; I was beyond tired.)

I can honestly say that the evening was unlike anything I have been blessed to participate in. In two weeks’ time, Holy Spirit sovereignly orchestrated an international gathering of the praying church, the ekklesia, with hundreds of thousands participating around the world.

The team’s unity was tremendous and remained unbroken throughout, with no personal agendas entering the meeting, and Holy Spirit led the prayers, which were very Scripture based. We petitioned the Lord, asking for His intervention and breakthrough, and declared His Word with authority and strength as Holy Spirit led us.

Those in attendance were also completely engaged and in full agreement with the prayers released publicly. I have every confidence that the same thing could be said of the over 1000 churches that joined us. The reports have been absolutely wonderful. In the words of my spiritual father, Jim Hodges, whom I have quoted several times of late, “I believe the event had seismic significance for the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom and a lasting impact on the Body of Christ. It was so powerful that the global church won’t go back to business as usual!”

If you couldn’t join us, or would like to listen and pray again, you can do so at OasisWiredOnline YouTube.

Many people are saying, “Please do more gatherings of this nature so that the corporate ekklesia can do what we are called to do.” We hear you, feel the same stirring in our hearts, and are praying about it. Without question, Christ has built an ekklesia in our day that has reached levels of maturity none of us have witnessed before. We dare not waste it.

Obviously, none of us on a frequent basis can sustain the kind of energy output, or the expenditure of time and money we did for this gathering. But we can continue to pray daily in our private times and with other groups we are part of. And we must. The enemy suffered a huge blow Friday night. And though the analogy is not perfect, any athlete knows that when you have the opponent “on his heels” or “on the ropes,” you don’t let up. You unleash a flurry, and we should do the same now.

We should declare daily the Lord’s victory over the terrorist regime in Iran, and His great revival there and in the Middle East. We should ask for wise strategy and pinpoint accuracy for our national leaders as they strategize on how to approach the situation; the head of the serpent must be removed. God wants to free and bless the people of the Middle East, not see them oppressed, and He wants to release the love of Christ to each one of them. He does not want a rogue nation forcing its oppressive and cruel ideology on others. Nor does He want a nuclear-weaponized Iran. And He certainly wants to send a great harvest. We should have zero doubt that when we pray these things, we are praying according to His will; and we know that when we pray according to His will, we have the requests we ask of Him (1 John 5:14-15).

We can also be assured that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18-20); and that He has been given all the nations or ethnic peoples of the earth as His inheritance (Psalm 2:7-8). The harvest in Iran and the Middle East is ripe and now is the time to reap. Join God’s great company of harvesters through your prayers!

And while we pray for the Middle East and other regions of the world, we must not forget America. Despite what some believe, a weakened America means a more volatile world, and a weaker church in America hinders God’s worldwide purposes. The light in “the city on the hill” must not grow dim; it must be bright. This is why we must have the Third Great Awakening; it is not an option. We must pray against the ideologies of Marxism, progressivism, Islam, and every other belief system that wants to erode America’s Christian faith and influence. God owns every square inch of America (Psalm 24:1), established it as a nation for His purposes, and those purposes are coming to their greatest significance. Please pray daily for this great awakening and pray for our national leaders.

Elijah prayed for rain until it came (1 Kings 18:41-45). Daniel prayed until Michael defeated the principalities operating around him (Daniel 10). The New Testament tells us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Don’t stop now, church; we are making great headway.

I conclude with the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 16:9: “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” Paul was not blind to the opposition, which he referenced as “many,” but he chose to pursue the great opportunity. “Great” is the Greek word megas, from which we get our English word mega. This wasn’t just any door. It was a mega door of great opportunity. If there was ever a time when we could say we are experiencing mega opportunities, even though we’re opposed by great opposition, it is now. But “if God is for us, who can be successful against us?” (Romans 8:31; AMP).

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10).

Pray with me:

Father, thank You for so sovereignly orchestrating last Friday night. No one else could possibly take credit for it. Thank You also for leading us so strategically. And thank You for raising up such a great, unselfish company of believers determined to do Your will. I know You were pleased.

Give us the stamina and endurance to stay the course. Give strength to Your praying army around the world. Give them a greater level of spiritual hearing and discernment; we need great revelation. Show each individual, prayer group, local assembly, and ministry their role to play. Give them a heightened sense of urgency at this time. Help them to see the mega door open for the church throughout the world, and give them the boldness to go through it. Awaken! Awaken! Awaken!

And we pray for our national leaders, especially President Trump and his team. Keep them from making any wrong alliances or agreements. Give them Your wisdom and understanding, and cause it to override everything else. Make all deception abundantly clear. Make all compromise abundantly clear. May he and his staff remain determined not to “kick the can” to the next generation. Give them the wisdom and determination they need to cut the head off of this serpent in the Middle East once and for all.

We ask all of this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that the praying church around the world will not regress, but will go to the next level of authority, discernment, determination, and fervency.

Introduction

Our friend, Gina Gholston, sent this wonderful testimony to encourage us as we believe God for miracles in our lives. It’s a great follow-up to this past Friday night. The title of her post is:

PawPaw’s Miracle

Recently, the Oasis Church in Middletown, Ohio, hosted the Ekklesia Prayer Coalition and Healing Summit. Powerful prayers and declarations were made as intercessors joined in faith and agreement for God to move powerfully in our world and in the lives of people who need His intervention. Multitudes of people were no doubt touched, healed, delivered, and helped as Holy Spirit worked through our collective prayers, leaving a trail of undeniable testimonies. It is so important that those testimonies do not fade away. We must share them with others so they can know the reality of Jesus and His willingness and ability to work supernaturally on our behalf. The Lord kept pressing this on my heart, so I thought I would share a testimony with you today to help build your faith in our incomparable and almighty Father, God!

When I was around age seven, my cousins and I were riding our bicycles down our grandparents’ driveway. At the end of the drive was a slight curve that led to the main road where we would turn around and make our way back up the hill to the shade tree where we would stop and rest as though we had been on a long journey.

We had made this trip many times, but for some reason, I didn’t want to go around the curve that day, so I stopped and waited while my cousins went ahead. It was only a matter of maybe a minute that they came running back up the driveway without their bicycles, crying and screaming, “PAWPAW IS ON FIRE!”

Grandpa had been working on a car that had stalled at the end of the driveway. To get the car to start, he primed the carburetor by pouring gasoline into it, and during this process, the engine backfired. The gasoline ignited, leaving my grandpa with severe burns on his face and body.

As my cousins ran to the house, I arrived in time to see Grandpa removing his shirt to snuff out the flames. His hair was singed, and portions of his hands, arms, and face were severely burned.

I ran to his side, crying. He calmly said, “Let’s go to the house.” And that’s what we did. We entered the house to find Grandma crying. Fear had already made its entrance into her heart just from hearing what had happened. Seeing Grandpa in this horrible condition exacerbated the intensity of it.

“What are we going to do?” she frantically cried.

Grandpa’s words to her were more of a statement of faith than a response. He said, “We can pray!” And pray they did! The peace of God filled the room as Grandpa’s faith gave Yahweh access to enter and intervene.

Some family members took Grandpa to the emergency room at a local hospital. Doctors debrided all of the many severe burns. They gave him a prescription for pain medications and told him to get it filled. His response to that was, “I won’t need it.” They replied, “Oh, you will definitely need it.”

But he didn’t.

Grandpa was a simple man with a strong faith in God. He didn’t just believe God exists; he believed God was, is, and always will be Almighty, and that He would always be faithful to keep His Word. Past experience had taught him that. Born in 1906, he had witnessed his share of hard times. His father had died from an influenza outbreak when Grandpa was a teenager, so he had to grow up very quickly. He began working as a coal miner and eventually became a farmer. Grandpa didn’t have an education. He couldn’t read and could barely write enough to sign his own name. However, he asked God to help him learn to read the Bible, and the Lord answered. He loved the Word of God, and He loved the God of the Word. He modeled a life that exemplified his trust in the Lord. Everyone who knew Grandpa knew about Jesus—he made sure of it!

So, in the face of this horrific incident, when given the choice to be afraid or to trust God, He chose to trust God. And why would he not? Yahweh’s track record had proven Him to be faithful time and time again!

To everyone’s amazement, those burns completely healed. Miraculously, he never even had a scar. If he had pain, we never knew about it. God supernaturally kept him and healed him. What was a horrible accident that could have led to debilitation or even death was turned into a testimony of the power of faith in God. Everyone knew it had to be God. There was no other explanation.

That miracle profoundly impacted my life. I had witnessed God’s power at work in and through my grandpa. I saw faith in action, and that moment is forever embedded in my memory and has served as a constant reminder that God was real and a Healer. He was faithful and trustworthy!

We may not always understand what happens in our lives, but through it all, we can trust God to lead us. He is a faithful Father, and our decision to trust and follow Him gives Him access into our lives to work according to His will for His glory and for our good.

I am not saying everyone’s experience will be exactly the same as my grandpa’s. God leads people in various ways to bring healing and help. In some situations, God may use a doctor’s hands to bring healing. Sometimes healing is instant, and other times it is a process. God works in different ways. But what I am saying is that when we follow Him, however He leads, He will work in and through our lives, giving evidence of His love and power. In turn, our experiences with the Lord create testimonies, stories that can be told to impact others on their journey. Just as my grandpa’s decision to trust God opened the way for him to encounter the Lord in a very powerful way, the testimony born from that experience touched many other lives, including mine... and now, even yours.

The greatest gift we can give those influenced by our lives is to let Jesus be seen in us as He works for us and through us. As we experience His fullness, we become a light that illuminates a path that will lead others to Him.

Pray with me:

Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You for the price that He paid for our healing. The brokenness of His body brought healing to ours; by His stripes we are healed. Thank You for Your willingness to step into our situations as a very present help in our times of need. You are mighty to save, deliver, provide, protect, and heal. Your power has not changed. We may not always understand Your ways, but we trust You. You are always right, just, faithful, and sovereign. We believe the love You have for us, and by faith, we receive the fullness of all that You desire to impart. As we receive from You, give us wisdom and courage to then share our testimonies with others. May our testimonies bear witness to the reality of Jesus, allowing His light to shine into their lives.

And Father, thank You again for allowing us to partner with You on Friday night [August 14, 2026]. People came from all over the country and watched in many parts of the world. It was truly an international prayer meeting - to You be all the glory. We fan the flames of our intercession today by declaring that not one word fell to the ground (1 Samuel 3:19), and You are working mightily to bring Your power to bear in the Middle East. Transform, move mightily, and save millions. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Our decree:

The light of Christ is shining through our lives, and as we release our testimonies, that light is illuminating a path that leads others to Him.
