Mercy is Our New Currency


Back in 2021, my friend, Clay Nash, had a significant dream about America, which included a plumb bob, also known as a plummet. In the dream, I was holding a 5-sided, hollow, silver plumb bob over a map of America. Each of the five sides included a section of clear glass-like windows. It was filled with red liquid. As I held it over the U.S. map, a fine flow of this red liquid began to flow from the point of the plumb bomb. I stated, “This is blood from the Mercy Seat.”


There was more to the dream, but we’ll share that another time. 


Plumb bobs are used to ensure that constructions are “plumb” or perfectly vertical. They are also used for surveying, to mark an exact point for a boundary marker. Amos 7:7-9 speaks of God holding a plumbline over Israel. As God’s plumb bob was held over America, He no doubt saw us as bent over, crooked, leaning, and deserving of judgment. To use another analogy, “weighed in the balances and found wanting” (Daniel 5:27). However, there was mercy.


In Scripture, silver symbolizes redemption. And the plumb bob was filled with the blood of Jesus from the Mercy Seat of heaven. Without doubt, this was and is telling us that God’s mercy, brought to us through Christ’s blood sacrifice, was redeeming and saving America. This is occurring. 


God began speaking to me about His mercy for America in 2016. My friend, Pastor Landon Schott of Mercy Culture Church, recently reminded me of this. In February of 2016, I received two prophetic words that I was to go to D.C. and spend time praying for America. One was from Ceci, the other from Chuck Pierce. Chuck’s word added that while there, I was to re-stake claim to America. My friend, Ken Malone, and brother, Tim Sheets, accompanied me. It was a prayer journey that took on profound significance.


While praying in front of the White House, we had what could only have been an angelic visitation. We were about 50 yards away from other people so that we could pray privately and discreetly. We kept our eyes open, speaking our prayers in conversational tones while looking toward one another, all in order not to attract attention. No one, based on our actions and body language, would have known we were praying. After an hour or so, someone said, “Are we finished here?” We were going to pray next at the Supreme Court. 


After pausing, another said, “No. I think there is something else.”


“What is it, Lord?” We asked Him. “What do you want to say to us?”


At that moment, an older “gentleman,” somewhat bowed over, began walking toward us from 40 or 50 yards away.


He walked in front of us and, as he slowly passed by, never making eye contact, simply said, “Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy.” Six times. 


We were blown away and tried to get him to stop and talk to us, but he kept walking and vanished into a crowd. We knew he was an angel, and God was leading us to appeal for His mercy over America. 


A few weeks later, a seasoned and trusted intercessor shared a dream she had received from the Lord that included me. “In the dream,” she related, “we kept declaring, ‘I have tapped into a root of mercy.’” 


Then, two weeks before the 2016 presidential election, a pastor and friend, Kingsley Walker, had a vision while watching our Appeal to Heaven conference online. In his own words:


“As leaders from all over the nation were praying at the end of the service the first night, I had a vision of Dutch standing in a rainstorm. Instead of raindrops falling, it was raining coins. It was a downpour, and the level of coins rose until he was ankle-deep in them. Reaching for one of the coins, Dutch held it up; it had an eagle on it. Across the eagle was the word MERCY. He held up another coin with the head of George Washington. Below the head, across the bottom of the coin, was the word WASHINGTON. Above the head at the top was the word MERCY: Mercy over Washington!  Dutch looked at a third coin that had fallen into his hand, and it had a waving American flag on it which said, NEW GLORY; also emblazoned on this coin was the word MERCY. A nickname for our flag is ‘Old Glory.’ There is ‘NEW GLORY’ coming to ‘Old Glory.’ He reached down and began picking coins up by the handfuls, and on every coin was stamped, MERCY! Then, in my vision, Dutch turned around,  looked at me and said, “Mercy is our new currency.”(1)

 

“Mercy is our new currency!” became the rally cry for thousands as we raced toward Election Day, which culminated in the powerful halt of the disastrous Obama agenda and death spiral we were on as a nation.


Mercy is undeserved kindness. In Scripture, it is linked to covenant -- God’s covenantal faithfulness and kindness. We are told that His mercies are new each morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and they triumph over judgment (James 2:13).


God’s “mercy revival” is coming to America, bringing “New glory” to “Old Glory.” Our salvation can only be procured by His mercies. Our own works would “buy” us nothing but judgment. Our faithfulness to Him certainly hasn’t been adequate to “purchase” America’s new birth. When asked why I believe America will receive a Third Great Awakening, I have but one answer: “The blood of Jesus deposited on the Mercy Seat of heaven is our currency. HE purchased our salvation. This is the only exchange God will honor, but He loves to do so!”


Revival is being released because of God’s mercy through Jesus, and because we have humbly asked. Mercy will save America and also bring a billion soul revival around the world. Mercy has reopened the wells at Fulton Street, Red River Meeting House, Cane Ridge, Azusa Street, Topeka, Wales, Hebrides, Scotland, and more. Mercy is reopening Tennent’s Well, the Haystack Revival Well, the Voice of Healing Well, the Charismatic/Jesus People Well, the Brownsville Well, and every other well of revival that has ever occurred. 


Spend the mercy. Trade it in for souls, miracles, transformations. Buy the opportunity. The phrase “redeeming the time” (Ephesians 5:16) could be more literally translated, “buy the opportune time.” We must use our “mercy currency” and buy this opportune time for revival.


America shall be saved! Revival is coming to the planet! Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy.


Pray with me:


Father, thank You for Your great mercy. You keep covenant AND MERCY to a thousand generations. (Deuteronomy 7:9) Jesus, thank You for Your blood on deposit at the Mercy Seat. It is still speaking, even shouting that Your blood is the “surety,” the guarantee of a new and better covenant. (Hebrews 7:22; 12:24) We decree Your words, “America shall be saved!” We decree that “Nations will come to the brightness of your glory!” (Isaiah 60:1-3). We release Your words that carry revival fire into all the earth! We agree with Your angel, “Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! 

Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!”


And Father, it will require Your supernatural intervention to end the hatred and stop the violence in America. The words of Romans 3:13-18 (TPT) are appropriate for many politicians in our land:


“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes.”


Help us end this. Release righteous judgments against those who spew hatred. And send an awakening to undo their evil works. In Yeshua’s name we pray. Amen.


Our decree:


We decree that we are making a withdrawal of mercy from the Mercy Seat of heaven, deposited there by Jesus Christ.

Introduction


I want to share one more post today related to the Charlie Kirk assassination. My brother, Tim, shared a strong message this past Sunday regarding Charlie. In it, Tim shared a word the Lord had given him three days before Charlie was assassinated. Here is a portion of that message. I encourage you to visit his YouTube channel and listen to this message in its entirety. I’m titling today’s post:  


A Tipping Point Moment


There are many opportunities before the church of Jesus Christ that can be accomplished if we will pray and take action. While none of us fully understands all Holy Spirit is doing, we can be confident that His plans ultimately reveal Jesus. 

In the midst of verbal chaos, conflicting voices, and waves of sorrow, divine possibilities are emerging. Though evil has struck, God has a way of turning even the darkest moments into opportunities for His glory. 


Charlie Kirk’s life was marked by bold proclamation of the Gospel. He preached salvation without compromise on our college campuses, leading thousands of young men and women to Christ, carrying the message of Christ into the very heart of our nation’s future. 


Charlie was not only an evangelist; he was a cultural reformer. He understood that the church is not merely a religious institution, but Christ’s Ekklesia — a governing body called to bring biblical clarity into every sphere of life. He backed his convictions by founding Turning Point USA, raising up a company of Christians unashamed to stand for God’s Word, biblical marriage, family, and truth in education, science, business, and media. He taught and inspired thousands to use their voices with courage.


It was precisely this courage that hell sought to silence. Evil struck him down in front of the world in a desperate attempt to quench a movement of God. But this plan has failed miserably, becoming one of hell’s greatest defeats. Hope is rising from the crushing. Beauty will emerge from the ashes. Out of tragedy will come multiplied voices, as thousands of new leaders step forward in Charlie’s place.


Christ’s true Ekklesia will rise to declare the Gospel of the Kingdom with fresh fire. As Romans 8:28 reminds us, all things, even the darkest tragedies, can work together for good to those who love God. Darkness, in God’s hands, becomes an incubator of new creation. His voice speaks light into darkness, order into confusion, and life into death. John 1:5 (NIV) tells us, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.”


In the midst of grief and turmoil, heaven is releasing gifts. These gifts are flowing like rivers of light, cascading from the Father of lights onto His sons and daughters. Talents, abilities, communication skills, leadership callings, and spiritual authority are being poured out and overseen by Holy Spirit. This is not a trickle but a flood, cascading upon those in despair, flooding them with light, hope, and divine empowerment. Out of this moment of darkness will emerge gifted sons and daughters, filled and radiant, rising as rivers of light in the midst of the storm. One of the most gifted generations in the history of the Kingdom is about to emerge.


For years, the Spirit of God has been saying we are reaching a tipping point. A hinge of history. A turning point. How many times has this been declared across pulpits and prayer rooms? And here we are, standing in that very moment. The outcomes of tipping points are decided by who defines the moment. If the church remains silent, unbelievers in our society will be allowed to define it. We must not allow hell to set the narrative. We cannot allow confusion or compromise in our culture to determine what this moment means. This is the Ekklesia’s hour to rise and define the turning point.


Three days before Charlie’s assassination, Holy Spirit gave me a prophetic word which I declared in our church service. Here is a portion of that word.


“The new flow of Holy Spirit now pouring from Heaven will cause the expansion of My Kingdom in new ways. Indeed, says the Lord, the minds of men will be blown; it will be seen that I cannot be confined by reason, man’s wisdom, human laws, religion, and certainly not the language of fools. No power of earth or the universe can confine Me. I will break out against all confinement–the shattering of confinement has begun. My Ekklesia will see the breaking off of confinement and will function in new anointings. 


I am performing My Word released through the prophet Joel, pouring out My spirit on all flesh, the young and the old together. I have given visions to young men by the multiplied thousands. They will run with Me, sounding forth awakening and revival. I have put prophetic words in the heart of My handmaidens, as I did with Mary. They are highly favored and will prophesy. Prophetic declarations are in their hearts, and they will speak My words into the nations. I’m giving them new dreams and activating old dreams. I’m anointing their dreams to break forth from confinement. Zachariahs and Elizabeths will give birth to their dreams, and will sing with exuberance.


The Lord says to His righteous remnant, Do not fear cancel culture. The authority of My heirs cannot be canceled. Do not faint, do not turn back, and do not become passive. Advance with Me and My Kingdom. Advance under Holy Spirit’s anointings. Advance with My angel armies. Move forward in My name, and you cancel hell’s culture; cancel the assignment of demons and false doctrines; cancel the work of iniquitous thrones. My Church cannot be canceled. They will prevail. 


Holy Spirit will fill the voice of My Eklessia with power. Decrees of faith, “word missiles,” will strike demonic strongholds, destroying schemes of darkness. Words declared in My name will explode like bombs against evil, toppling thrones of hell’s kingdom. And the gospel of My Kingdom will grow and expand, activating revival. The world will see My glorious church arise, and hell will not prevail.” 


I believe we are on the brink of seeing the most gifted generation of young champions for Christ ever raised up. Their passion, unshakable faith, fiery boldness, and uncompromising love for Jesus Christ will shock the world. Holy Spirit is adding to the church young, passionate warriors who will pick up the mantles of those who have gone before them. Not only will they carry them, they will multiply them. Revival will now begin to surge. 


Pray with me:  


Lord, we know that You “so loved the world” that You gave Jesus. May Your love pour out upon our nation, tangibly and undeniably real. Out of that love, let the gospel go forth in power. May the message of salvation pierce the hearts of millions. We pray for prodigals, that they will hear Your voice even in the darkest places, and say, “I must go back to my Father’s house.”


We cry out for revival, awakening, and reformation, and we pray that this be accelerated. Father of Lights, shine Your light upon Your sons and daughters everywhere. Let this light flood and destroy the darkness.


We bind the influence of evil ideologies and declare that they will be overcome by truth. Move across every high school and college campus. Give visions and prophetic words to thousands of young men and women, calling them into Your Kingdom purposes. Let light shine in the darkness and Jesus be glorified. In Yeshua’s name. Amen. 


Our decree: 


We decree that revival will now begin to surge and accelerate as cascading light is poured out upon our sons and daughters.

Introduction

Our friend, Gina Gholston, sent the following word, which I believe is timely. Everyone can see that we have entered a new season. God is and will continue to define the season, not satan and his kingdom. Our part is to listen to Holy Spirit, and follow Him. The title of Gina’s post is:


Fearless Advancement 


For several months, the Lord has kept me focused on and speaking about the importance of understanding His timing. I feel the reason for this is that we have crossed a threshold into an appointed time on God’s timeline.

 

Timing is a key component of our journey with the Lord, very important to God and, therefore, to us. We see this all through Scripture. He operates according to the timeline and plan He has established. He knows the plans He has woven over us (Jeremiah 29:11), and He will fulfill all of His purposes in their right time.

 

Earlier this year, I had a dream in which God said we were entering a set time. He said, “I am giving you a moment in which to advance with My purposes…and that time is now.” We have now entered that “moment.” It’s an appointed, strategic, opportune time (kairos)(1) for things to change.


Changes will happen now that couldn’t have happened before. Prophetic promises and unfulfilled destinies that have been hovering over us, over our regions, and over this nation, have now intersected the moment of their intended fulfillment. God once spoke to me, saying, “It’s time, and I am culminating the years, events, words, dreams, visions, obedience, and the steps you have taken. I am pulling things together, and soon you will see My purpose in it all!” While we may not have understood everything we’ve done, seen, and heard in the previous seasons, all of those things were pieces to a much bigger picture. Now the pieces are coming together in the right moment to reveal the big picture. This will not only validate our past obedience, but it will also prophecy into the future now unfolding.

 

In this appointed time, things will begin to unfold very quickly. We are already seeing it happen! And it’s SO much bigger and more far-reaching than we could ever have imagined! It is imperative that we stay alert and stand in readiness to hear and run with what Holy Spirit imparts to us concerning our times. We must rely on His guidance as He instructs us in the way to go.

 

The book of Acts is a model for today’s Ekklesia. The faith and devotion of those in the early Church gave the Lord access to work through them, appropriating His will and purposes in amazing ways. How were common, ordinary people able to have such an impact on the world around them? Acts 4:33 says, “And great grace was upon them all.” One meaning of grace is “divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in the life(2). The church in the book of Acts took its place in the plan of God for its season. God led them with great grace, and they followed. They gave heed to and obeyed His outpouring of “divine influence,” and the evidence of that influence was demonstrated through them with undeniable power.

 

In this critical moment, the Lord is once again extending to the Ekklesia “great grace.” Holy Spirit is releasing strategy and revelation to instruct us in this time. Being influenced by what He releases, we find confident faith to obey His leading, and He will work through us to demonstrate His power and reality.

 

A few days ago, I had an instructive dream, relevant to this time. The dream revealed that a door is now open for us, and the Lord is calling His Body to engage with Him as He works through us to fulfill His purposes.

 

In the dream, I stood before a large, intricately carved, wooden door. Suddenly, the door began to pulsate with what seemed to be an electrical current. I could hear a humming sound as the power pulsated. Then the door opened.

 

Suddenly, an angel appeared beside me and said, “You can enter the door.”

 

But I was afraid because of the “current” of power. So I asked, “Is it safe to go through that?”

 

The angel said, “You can only enter the door with the right garment.”

 

He then showed me a beautiful, robe-like garment, and held it in position for me to put my arms into the sleeves. When the garment was on me, all fear left, and I joyfully leaped through the door. I entered a room filled with brilliant light, pulsating with the same “power current” as the door.

 

In the center of the room, I saw two wooden folding chairs facing each other, like those that had been used in the old tent revivals from years-gone-by. Although I didn’t clearly see His face, I knew Jesus was sitting in the chair on the right! His presence was the reason for the brilliant light and the pulsating power! He motioned for me to sit in the other chair, facing Him.

 

I sat down in the chair, weeping, overcome by the power of His presence!

 

He said to me, “In the days to come, whatever I ask you to do, you must remember this and hear Me asking you four questions. How you answer will determine whether or not you obey My leading.”

 

Then He asked me the four questions, with each question followed by an assurance from Him.

 

“Are you afraid? Don’t be!

“Are you devoted to Me? I am devoted to you.

“Are you resolved? I am!

“Will you go for Me? I will go with you!”

 

He then placed His right hand on my head and said, “It’s time.”

 

I said, “Lord, we’ve been hearing this phrase, but what is it time for?”

 

Without any pause, He answered, “Fearless advancement, possession of promises, and the fulfillment of purposes I have set for this time. You shall lift your head, I will capture your ear, and you will hear My voice as I order your steps.”

 

What a dream! What a moment! In this appointed time, may the Ekklesia rise, fully devoted and unflinchingly resolved to follow Jesus, without fear and hesitation, as He advances us into the fulfillment of His purposes.

 

Pray with me:


Father, as we step into this turning point moment, may we realize the urgency and necessity of taking our place on the timeline of Your plan. Your timing has changed everything. Help us not to misinterpret what we are feeling and seeing, and what we will see in the days to come. Give us wisdom and understanding. Grant us “great grace” that impacts our thoughts and actions, enabling us to align with You and follow You forward. May we advance without fear or hesitation, fully devoted to You, as You work through us to fulfill Your intended purposes for this time. We lift our heads! Lord, “capture our ears” so that we hear Your voice as You order our steps. We are resolved. We go, knowing that You are going with us. You make us brave! Amen!

 

Our decree:


The Ekklesia is arising with unshakable devotion and unflinching resolve, enabling us to follow Jesus without fear or hesitation. We will now advance into the fulfillment of His intended purposes.
