God Stopped Time Tomorrow (October 11, 2025) will be a significant day in the U.S. as millions of Americans partake of the Lord’s Table together ( Communion America ). Many will do so onsite in Washington, D.C., and multitudes will join online  from around the world (some have been doing so since last night). Believers will be reminded and partake of Christ’s victory at Calvary - both for themselves and for the nation/s, and satan will be reminded of his crippling defeat at the hands of Yeshua.  The timing of this has been orchestrated by Holy Spirit. At the prayer banquet in D.C., for the Supreme Court, this past Monday night, Chuck Pierce spoke of God stopping time for Joshua and Israel. They needed more daylight to win a strategic battle, a battle being waged to honor their covenant with Gibeon (Joshua 10:1-14). Chuck shared that God had “stopped time” for us in America so that we, too, might win our current battle for the soul of America. He wasn’t speaking literally, of course, but figuratively, stating that God has altered the times and seasons (Daniel 2:20–21), giving us the time needed to shift and restore our nation. I shared after Chuck and changed my message to piggyback on the prophetic word God had given him. I spoke of the different words for “time” in Scripture and how knowing which “time” we are in determines our actions. I declared that we have entered “the right time“ ( horaios ) not only to shift the Supreme Court, but to see America revived and restored (I’ll explain this word momentarily). God does not pour out His Spirit simply when He “finally chooses or decides to.” As the eternal God who sees the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10), He does not have to “finally decide” whether or not He wants to do something. His works and ways are predicated on principles and truth, not His mood or emotions. Where revival is concerned, God must release it when hearts are hungry and ready to receive Him. He uses the desperation and needs of people to create this hunger, as well as using the prayers of His people in this process. He also prepares the church to work with Him in these outpourings of His Spirit. All of this is coordinated to converge at the appropriate timing.  Here is a short summary of the different times and seasons in the New Testament. First of all, there is the Greek word chronos . This is “general time, a season of time.” (1)  Our English word “chronology” originates from the Greek word. In the life of a farmer, this would be the season of plowing, sowing, tending to the growing crop, and the many other practical aspects of preparing a harvest.  Then there is kairos,  a word meaning the “strategic or opportune time.” (2)  Again, using the analogy of a farmer, this would be when the crop has ripened and is ready to be reaped. These two words can apply to many subjects, however, not just to farming.  We can see these phases in the lives of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham was told that they would have a son. Most of us would expect the child to come relatively soon after receiving the word. They certainly did. Instead, however, they entered into a 24-year chronos  season in which God was preparing them…and no doubt continuing to prepare the world regarding His redemptive plans. At the appropriate time, Yahweh appeared to them again—24 long years, lots of miles, and many struggles later—stating that it was time (Genesis 17:21). The Lord told them that Sarah would have a child within one year. They had shifted into a kairos  season: the “opportune time” had arrived.  But there is yet another stage of timing: “the right time” to act. In Acts chapter 3, Peter prayed for a man who had been born lame and was now over 40 years old. As a young boy, his family placed him at one of the prominent temple gates, a gate named “Beautiful,” where he daily begged for alms (Acts 3:2). Because of the gate’s location, Jesus had to have passed by this man dozens–if not hundreds–of times without healing him. Most other Israelites knew of him, having seen him while in Israel for the major feasts. Although Jesus had passed by him many times without healing him, on this day, just after Pentecost, Peter was led by Holy Spirit to do so. Interestingly, the Greek word translated as “Beautiful” in this verse does not mean beauty in the literal sense of attractiveness. The word, horaios, (3)  actually means “right time.” Occasionally, it is used figuratively to mean beautiful because when events and circumstances come together in the right way, at the right time, it creates something “beautiful.” The “Beautiful Gate” was “The Right Time” gate. Think about the incredible picture this gives us. Holy Spirit orchestrated the naming of this gate–“The Right Time”–years earlier. He made certain that the lame man’s family chose it as the place he would sit daily and beg (His chronos  season began). And He led Jesus NOT to perform the miracle (still the chronos  time). He was saving it for just “the right time.” Holy Spirit knew the early church would reach a kairos, an   opportune window of time when they would need this miracle, a sign and wonder of incredible proportions, to verify throughout Jerusalem and all of Israel that Jesus was truly the Messiah, and that He rose from the dead. Peter, shown that it was time to step through this right time “gate” ( horaios ), reached down and jerked the man to his feet. All of Israel, knowing of this crippled man and of the astounding miracle that had taken place in the name of Jesus, was certain that Jesus was the Messiah, and had risen from the dead.  America has come to a horaios  time, the time for her salvation and healing. God has adjusted time, creating “the right time” for our miraculous recovery. Isaac is not yet born, but Sarah is in labor . I concluded my message Monday night with a quote from my friend Clay Nash’s father; Holy Spirit reminded me of it earlier that day. When Clay and his dad worked on difficult projects and finally reached the potential for success, his dad would sometimes say: “We’re not finished, but we can get there from here.” On Monday, I heard Holy Spirit say, not only regarding the shifting of the Supreme Court but also regarding the restoration of America, “We are not finished, but we can get there from here.” Keep praying, friend. And join us as we exalt the Lord through Communion over our nation tomorrow.  Pray with me: Father, we are confident in Your wisdom and understanding. Your ways are always right. You never have to react to satan’s or man’s actions, hoping that You are making the right decisions. You have been planning and preparing for another great season of harvest around the world, and have been preparing Your people as instruments of this revival. We recognize the times and seasons, and can discern with our spiritual eyes that the harvest is ripe. As Your harvesters, we know we must be ready. Help us to do so, Holy Spirit. Sharpen our sickles. Fill our lamps. Fine-tune us to Your gifts and voice. Give us Your ideas and instructions on how to prepare. Awaken the watchmen to sound the alarm even more. Awaken Your leaders to the fact that we cannot conduct business as usual in this hour. We declare that America will participate in this harvest. We are being awakened, restored, and re-commissioned! Communion America  is part of this, both a statement and a release. Our statement is that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb on the Mercy Seat of Heaven. And through our partaking of the Lord’s Table together, we are releasing the power of Your shed blood to give America a great reset and restoration. All of this we pray and declare in the name of Jesus. Amen.  Our decree: We decree: it IS the right time for America’s restoration; and “we can get there from here.”  You can learn more about this weekend’s communion gathering on the Washington Mall at Communion America.

“Prodigal America” Is Running Back to Father’s House I mentioned in earlier posts that I was in Washington, D.C., this week for some prayer assignments. I also spoke for a prayer banquet regarding the Supreme Court. All of the events were successful. I am a bit weary but persevering. When in D.C., I always find myself reminiscing over the past 35-40 years. Though the journey has been long, it seems to have flown by, as the years have a way of doing so. I admit that when it comes to patriotism, I am incorrigible. This hasn’t always been the case. I usually tried to sit in the back of my American history and civics classes so I could catnap—or at least doodle—without being caught. My patriotism did not develop until God began to grip my heart with His purposes for America.  It wasn’t that I ever bought into the anti-American movement of the ‘60s or ‘70s; I always saw through that and had a general respect for my country, as we all should. But there was no passionate love of America. Actually, when Ceci and I graduated from Bible college, our plan and desire were to go to another country to do missionary work. It came as a complete shock to us when the Lord began showing us that He wanted us to stay right here and minister in America.  For the first several years of our ministry, I continued to struggle somewhat with this. The charismatic and Jesus people movements had waned, and the church was on a subtle and relatively unperceived slippery slope toward apathy, complacency, compromise, personal aggrandizement and success, rather than purity and a passion for Christ’s cause. I gradually became somewhat disillusioned with the American church, and watched as some fruit of those two revivals began to wither.  It was in the last half of the 1980s that I began to feel this could change, that America could experience another revival and awakening, first in the church, then in the nation as a whole. God had awakened my heart to the power of prayer, and began showing me His unfolding plan to transform the church through prayer and worship. These two forces would release transformative revelation and restoration, and I watched as this began to unfold.  Then Holy Spirit began to impart His heart for America to me. It wasn’t a delusional belief that America was loved by God more so than other nations, or that we were somehow superior. He loves all people in every nation. To the contrary, the love He began placing in my heart was linked to His passionate love for ALL people everywhere. He began showing me the destiny, the purpose for which He had raised up America: to take the gospel of His Kingdom to the ends of the earth. This culminated in an encounter with God in 2000, when I wept–I believe along with Him– for 3 1/2 hours over “Prodigal America.”  The word “prodigal,” by the way, doesn’t mean what most people normally think of when using the term–rebellious, running away, or backsliden. The word actually means to waste or squander. The young man in Scripture was wasting and squandering his inheritance, as well as his destiny, identity, and purpose in life. The riches were only part of his losses. Restoration meant not only having his needs met once again, but having his signet ring of sonship and authority restored.  America’s rebellion against God has cost us many things. But the greatest tragedy has been squandering our partnership with Him, the unspeakable privilege of partnering with God in the recapturing of His dream, His family on earth. On that occasion in 2000, I wept with the Father over our prodigal nation for 3 1/2 hours; at one point, He said, “I MUST have America for what I am going to do throughout the world in this hour.”  This was the sealing of His call on my life: helping bring our prodigal nation home to Father.  As I reflect on all of this, I realize that the entire decade of the 1990s for me was God’s preparation for this calling. Slowly, methodically, and incrementally, He was giving me the understanding of prayer that I needed, as well as a revelation of His heart that I would also need. When He finished, I knew what He wanted for America, why it mattered so much, and how He would eventually accomplish this.  And after that night, I knew I would never be the same.  I always reminisce about these things when I go to D.C., and can feel afresh God’s heart for America. I’m not enamored with the fancy buildings, the political figures, and the seats of power. None of these means anything to me. Nothing. I’ve never once asked to meet a government official. I care about one thing and one thing only: a Third Great Awakening that will save millions of people and turn this prodigal nation back to the Father…and back to its calling and destiny. This calling will then contribute to the greatest worldwide harvest of souls in earth’s history.  We are approaching this harvest; we’re actually in the initial stage. This is a hinge year of history, and the door of worldwide harvest is swinging open wide. Revival is coming to America and the world, and will not be stopped. That’s what I was focused on while in D.C., earlier this week, and it’s what I’ll be focused on when I return for Communion America  later this week. [Although it begins Thursday night, I won’t be there until Saturday.] Join us as we celebrate the Cross and Resurrection of Christ, His victory over death, hell, and the grave. Join us in calling forth the return of prodigal America through the Third Great Awakening. And join us in calling forth the great worldwide harvest in which the Lord Jesus will receive the reward of His suffering. Pray with me: Father, we humans sure made a mess of Your plans for us. We defiled not only ourselves, but brought curses upon the earth You gave us. But in Your foreknowledge, You had a plan for our redemption and restoration before our fall ever occurred: Your Son, the “Lamb” that would be slain for the sins of the world. Our new creation in Christ was declared in heaven before our first creation in Adam even occurred. You determined to have a family, whatever the cost.  This week, we will celebrate the victory of the Cross and Resurrection. We’ll celebrate the inevitability of everything You promised being fulfilled. We will celebrate Your greatness and Your love. And we will celebrate our calling, our commission to help grow Your family. We declare that our once prodigal nation, which You said You must have, is now running back to Father. We declare that this weekend, the power of the blood of Jesus on the mercy seat of heaven will be released once again over America and throughout the earth. We declare that we will go through the door You have opened, moving into this opportune time for revival and restoration. We will go through it and reap this great harvest, releasing Your Kingdom authority throughout the earth. In Christ’s name we will do so. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that what was once “prodigal America,” is on a sprint back to Father’s house. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

God is Giving Us A New Start I am back home today…preparing to go back to Washington, D.C. for Communion America! What a week this is. In today’s post, I want to share a dream with you that I shared a while back on Give Him 15. I’m doing so because it is very applicable to the communion gathering taking place in D.C. this week, and it is very encouraging. On April 7, 2020, our friend Gina Gholston had this significant dream. At the time, many who read and heard the dream assumed it was referring to the 2020 presidential election, as it clearly shows President Trump returning to the White House. Several other prophets also received words from the Lord, including dreams, visions, and prophecies, which indicated that Trump would be re-elected, and most of them assumed it would be in 2020. It turns out, the Lord was speaking of 2024.  This was a strong lesson for the body of Christ regarding the interpretation of words from the Lord. The timing can sometimes be difficult to discern, and we must always be cautious not to make assumptions. It is also a strong lesson for those who criticized the prophets, some of whom went so far as to label them “false prophets.” However, many prophets obviously DID hear accurately regarding Trump’s reelection; it was the timing that was wrong. Here is Gina’s dream: “On April 7, 2020, I dreamed that President Donald J. Trump was walking on the bank of a small river. At first, it seemed he was pacing back and forth, but then I realized he was actually looking for something. He said, ‘I was told something had been left here for me and I came to find it, but I’m not seeing it.’ He continued to search, but finding nothing, turned to walk away. “Just as he turned, a wooden crate, measuring about three feet wide, a foot in height, and two feet from front to back, came bobbing up in the water. I could see down in the water, and several people were lying on the bottom of the river. They had been holding the box, but had lost their grip on it, and it rushed to the surface with a splash. President Trump turned to see what caused the splash. When he saw the wooden crate, he reached out, pulled it to the bank, took a knife from his pocket, and used it to open the lid. “Inside, he found an old Bible, an Appeal to Heaven flag, and communion elements (bread and wine). He immediately took the Appeal to Heaven flag, draped it over his shoulders, and knelt with his right knee on the ground. He placed the Bible under his arm, held the cup of wine in his left hand, and the bread in his right. Then, with tears flowing, he began to pray. With the Appeal to Heaven flag still draped over his shoulders, he looked down at the Bible and communion elements with great admiration and said, ‘This is it! This is what I came to find!’ “Suddenly, a huge slingshot appeared, and President Trump stood and positioned himself in it. A hand came into view and pulled him back into the slingshot, launching him from that place. He still carried all of the items he had found in the wooden crate. Just as the President was launched from the slingshot, the ‘bottom feeders’ who had been in the river holding down the wooden crate came out of the river and tried to grab him. It was too late, however; he was already airborne, and they couldn’t stop him. “I then saw Trump land perfectly, on his feet, like someone finishing a parachute jump. He landed on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., where he was about to give his second inaugural address. This speech was anything but normal! He wrapped the Appeal to Heaven flag around his shoulders and held the old Bible in his hands. I then realized this was one of the Bibles he used when he was sworn in at his first Inauguration Ceremony, a gift his mother had given him, who had connections to the great Hebrides Revival. “Through tears, President Trump said, ‘God is taking us back, and He’s giving us a new start. Now, we are rightly focused. We’re getting back on track.’ He led the nation in a prayer of sincere repentance. Then he took the communion elements he had found in the wooden crate and led the nation in Communion.” (End of dream.) Takeaways From the Dream I believe that as America’s President, Trump finding the Bible (representing God’s Word AND revival), the Appeal to Heaven flag (which represents prayer), and communion elements (symbolizing covenant relationship with God through Christ) speak of both him AND America rediscovering these things. He actually says in his speech, “He’s taking us back, giving us a new start, we’re rightly focused.” Though satan and Trump’s enemies have tried to stop God’s purposes, they failed, and will continue to fail.  President Trump led the nation in a prayer of repentance. I know revival is coming to America (and other nations) and that this is associated with national-level repentance. I also feel God has – and will continue to draw President Trump to Himself, and fill him with the Holy Spirit. In the dream, when he found the Bible, the Appeal to Heaven flag, and the communion elements, President Trump fell to his knees and, through tears, said, “This is it! This is what I came to find!” We must pray that our President has “God-encounters,” continually “finding” this close connection to the Lord.  As you participate with Communion America this week, know that this is “rightly focusing” us and “getting us back on track,” as the dream states. Give thanks to our great God for all He has done, especially for His mercy. Pray with me: Father, You have done an amazing thing. What is impossible to man is possible to You. Thanks for putting the person You chose to lead America at this time back in the White House. Satan and people tried EVERYTHING to stop it: assassination, lawfare, corrupt judges, censorship, lies, and betrayal. But You had other plans.  We ask You to use President Trump greatly. Fill him with Your Spirit, give him a passion to know You, and impart great wisdom to him. Cause him to walk in humility, being confident in You alone. At the same time, give him great zeal as You did Jehu when he purged Baal worship from Israel, and as Jesus demonstrated when He cleansed the Temple. And although we are asking You to use Donald Trump, we declare that we are NOT looking to him as our Savior. Unless YOU build the house, we labor in vain (Psalm 127). We ask YOU to save America, just as You have promised.  Protect those in D.C. this week, the thousands gathered there to celebrate Your mercy and salvation over America. We bind every work of darkness, every plan to bring harm, and ask for Your protection. Keep everyone under Your shadow, Your wings, and Your angelic hosts. And lead in all that is said and done. Be glorified in our land! All of this we ask in Yeshua’s name. Amen.  Our decree: We decree that an outpouring of Holy Spirit is coming to America, a Communion revival, bringing back a love for God’s Word, passionate prayer, and covenantal intimacy with Christ.

“New Glory” Coming to America I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I was in Washington, D.C. for some on-site prayer; I’m still there today. Last night I spoke at a prayer banquet regarding the Supreme Court, then participated in a private prayer endeavor with a few other individuals. This private prayer time was actually linked to the assignment Ken Malone, my brother, Tim, and I carried out in February of 2016. I spoke of this 2016 prayer excursion in a post a couple of weeks back ( link ). It was on this trip that God began speaking to us that He was releasing His mercy over America. As a reminder here is a brief portion of the post: “In February of 2016, I received two prophetic words that I was to go to D.C. and spend time praying for America, one from Ceci and one from Chuck Pierce. I and those going with me were told to place a symbolic pin in the ground and declare that we were ‘re-staking claim to America.’ “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 to not 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 telling us to appeal for His mercy over America… “A few weeks later, a seasoned and trusted intercessor, knowing nothing of this encounter, shared a dream she had received from the Lord that included me. ‘In the dream,’ she related, ‘you 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 profound 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, along with the words, 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…”  Another Assignment When speaking for Chuck Pierce a couple of weeks ago at his Rosh Hashanah conference, I re-told these stories from 2016, and stated that we were entering a new phase of God’s “MERCY” revival and restoration. Holy Spirit moved upon Chuck and he prophesied to me again. Knowing that I would be in D.C. this week, Chuck said, “While there you are to do another symbolic act of placing a pin in the soil of Washington, D.C., and decee over the nation. It is time for My authority to be fully reestablished in America. I will drop a plumb line from heaven, and realign the harvest fields of America. I will draw harvest lines across America and they will connect. I will establish harvest centers in this nation. As you drive the stake into D.C. and declare My words, they will pierce the head of the serpent and the authority of My Kingdom will begin rising up in a new way. So the Lord says when you obey Me in D.C., I will start defining and ordering  and aligning  this from heaven.” A strong team of leaders fulfilled this assignment last night. To be clear, we are fully aware that the prayers and actions we released were not based on our own power or personal authority. The authority and power flow from God’s Mercy Seat, and are the fruit of decades of prayers by millions of people. Moses’ declaration for the Lord, “Let My people go!” and the subsequent miraculous works of God in the Exodus were not based on Moses’ or the Israelites’ goodness, power or desires. Moses was simply a voice for the Lord at God’s fullness of time, declaring the release of a plan that went back centuries! He was a flesh-and-blood mortal man, but spoke the words of our immortal, all-powerful God.  Last night in Washington, D.C., we declared the words and plans of Almighty God, and they will accomplish what He intends. Please agree with us, declaring that “satan’s plans and control over America have had a stake driven through them. His works have been overcome by the blood of Jesus that covers the Mercy Seat of Heaven. Harvest centers are now being raised up across our land, and the authority of God‘s Kingdom is arising in a new way. God is defining, ordering, and aligning this from heaven.” This is MERCY! Be encouraged - God is moving in our land.  Today’s prayer and decree: Today, let’s release the above decree together as our prayer and declaration: Satan’s plans and control over America have had a stake driven through them. His works have been overcome by the blood of Jesus that covers the Mercy Seat of Heaven. Harvest centers are now being raised up across our land, and the authority of God’s Kingdom is arising in a new way. God is defining , ordering, and aligning  this from heaven. We declare this in Jesus’ name, He who owns all the earth, including Washington, D.C. Click on the link below to watch the full video. mercycoin.com

Back At The Court A despot is a king or other ruler with absolute, unlimited power. Despotism, then, is absolute power or control, or tyranny. With these definitions in mind, consider the following statement from Thomas Jefferson, who said on September 28, 1820, in a letter to Diplomat William Jarvis: “You seem...to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the DESPOTISM of an oligarchy… “Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so...and their power (is) the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control…The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become DESPOTS” (Stated in a letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820). (1) Jefferson once said, “The great object of my fear is the Federal Judiciary” (Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, 1821). (2) In a letter to Abigail Adams, September 11, 1804, “prophet” Jefferson warned of giving judges too much control: “Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . . The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” (3) In a letter to Judge Roane dated September 6, 1819, Jefferson restated his concerns regarding the judiciary, contending that the Constitution did not give them control over the other two branches. Had it done so, Jefferson contended that: “The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” (4) America should have listened, and at the risk of boring you with Jeffersonian wisdom, eloquence, and accurate predictions, here is one more statement referencing the judiciary as the “most dangerous” branch of our government: “At the establishment of our constitution, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent…” (Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823). (5) Unfortunately, Jefferson’s warnings proved to be all too accurate. Sixty-plus years ago, the progressive, liberal left in America decided that the best way–possibly the only way–to impose their will on the American people was not at the ballot box or through Congress; it was through the Supreme Court. The inappropriate belief that the Supreme Court had supreme power over all would allow only five unelected people on the bench to impose and enforce their will over 300,000,000 Americans. Five people. Only five out of nine individuals were needed to remove God and His principles from American schools, government, and the public square. They could trample on constitutional rights, make the right to murder babies the law of the land, and overrule the will of the people in 30 states, who agreed with God that marriage was between one man and one woman. No entity or group has allowed more evil into America than the Supreme Court. Despotism, indeed. On June 26, 2015, five unelected Justices, in one of the most arrogant defiances of God in history, decided they had the right to redefine this 6,000-year-old covenant of marriage. Just let that sink in: five people (two of whom had participated in gay wedding ceremonies, yet refused to recuse themselves), arrogantly granted themselves the “authority” to overrule God…and the American people. The deception and arrogance of this is mind-numbing. (The names of the five are Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.) Regarding this evil ruling, Justice Alito said: “Today’s decision usurps the constitutional right of the people to decide whether to keep or alter the traditional understanding of marriage...All Americans, whatever they’re thinking on that issue, should worry about what the majority’s claim of power portend s.” (6) The late, great Justice Scalia said: “I write separately to call attention to this Court's threat to American democracy... Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court... “This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776 - the freedom to govern themselves…To allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation .” (7) Praying for the Supreme Court On my first visit to the Supreme Court 30 years ago, I heard Holy Spirit say, as clearly as I have ever heard Him speak to me, “Now I am going to show you where the strong man over America lives.” The words “strong man” were taken from the passage of Scripture in Matthew 12:29 and Mark 3:27. This did not mean that all of the Justices were evil, or that the institution itself was evil. It meant that satan had established a stronghold there from which to implement his plans and control our nation. Part of my assignment since that day has been to see the stronghold broken. I’m back in Washington, D.C. today, praying for the Supreme Court. We are making headway in expelling this “strong man” and restoring the Court to God and its purpose. The Dobbs decision on June 24, 2022, overturning Roe vs Wade, is but one indicator. Please agree with us today as we stand in the Capital and appeal to heaven for the completion of this shift. Let’s pray now. Pray with me: Father, we know that righteousness and justice are the foundations of Your throne. We also know that these foundations are based on truth, which is found in You and Your Word. And we believe that as our Framers sought You for wisdom, You answered their prayers as they wrote our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Leftists and despots continuously rebel against and twist this wisdom and Your truth. We ask for Your supernatural help in stopping their efforts. We ask that You give President Trump’s team and righteous members of Congress understanding and wisdom as they work against attempts to turn our nation away from the Judeo-Christian principles upon which America was founded. Release Your sovereign and all-powerful hand to dismantle evil structures and systems created by those who resist truth in America. Break off from us the tyranny of evil and dishonest judges.  Help us rebuild a strong America that can serve Your purposes throughout the world. Give us wisdom to mend our flaws, building back an even stronger and more righteous nation. Shake out evil and do a deep work of cleansing. Revive and restore us. In the name of Jesus, we pray, amen. Our decree: We decree that righteousness will prevail in the courts of America.  Click on the link below to watch the full video. https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/03-16-02-0234   http://www.robgagnon.net/JeffersonOnJudicialTyranny.htm Ibid.

The “Watchman” Saved Our Lives The Bible speaks of “watching” in prayer. “Watchmen intercession” is one of the most vital aspects of prayer; I am often asked to teach on it. Our calling and responsibility as intercessors includes being alert for and praying against satan’s schemes and plans, as Holy Spirit reveals them to us. Ephesians 6:18 says,  “With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.”  The King James version uses the word “watching” for the phrase “be on the alert.” First Peter 5:8, in warning us about our enemy, says,  “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”  Again, other translations use the word “watchful.” The context of both verses is spiritual warfare. Each mentions our adversary and challenges us to alertness and watchfulness, both for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Another related verse is 2 Corinthians 2:11:  “In order that no advantage be taken of us by satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.”  A good amplification of this verse, based upon the Greek text, would be:  “To the degree that we are ignorant of the way our adversary thinks and operates – of his plans, plots, schemes and devices – to that degree he will make gains on us, prey on us, defraud us of what is ours and have or hold the greater portion.” Not good! Here are four conclusions we can draw from the above three verses - Ephesians 6:18, 1 Peter 5:8, and 2 Corinthians 2:11: Protection from demonic or satanic attacks - including for believers - is not automatic; we have a part to play. Though God is sovereign, this does not mean He is in control of everything that happens on earth. Satan is still allowed access to our world, and God has given much freedom and responsibility to humankind. If He were going to protect or safeguard believers from satan’s attacks, regardless of what we did, these verses would be totally irrelevant for Christians. Why be alert for satan’s attacks and pray against them, if simply being a believer automatically prohibits him from impacting us? Since God says to be aware of satan’s tactics, He is obviously willing to reveal them to us. He wouldn’t ask us to do something that He wasn’t enabling us to accomplish. We must remain alert, watchful, or we won’t pick up on God’s attempts to warn us of satan’s attacks and plans. If the devil’s attacks were always going to be obvious, alertness wouldn’t be necessary. Isaiah 56:10 speaks of blind watchmen. What a picture! I’m afraid it has been a fairly good description of many of us at times in our watching roles. We’re often like the disciples of old: We have eyes, but we do not see (see Mark 8:18). It’s time we do more than casually glance;  we must watch alertly! The final conclusion is that if we are not alert and watchful, if we are ignorant of satan’s schemes, he will take advantage of us. Contrary to popular belief, we can indeed be destroyed due to ignorance (see Hosea 4:6).  Two Greek New Testament words are used for “watching” or “being on the alert”: gregoreuo (1)  and agrupneo . (2)  Both mean essentially to stay awake, in the sense that a sentry must refrain from sleep. Below are a few verses where they’re used; every believer should familiarize themselves with them:  “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.” (Colossians 4:2) And He said to them,  “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.... Keep watching and praying, that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”  (Mark 14:34, 38) “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) “Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13) “With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints” ( Ephesians 6:18.) “But keep on the alert at all times, praying in order that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”  (Luke 21:36) The last two verses combine the words  agrupneo  and kairos (3) – strategic time – challenging us to be on the alert and pray accordingly. Perhaps the most remarkable example in my life of kairos -timed intercession happened on one of my journeys to Guatemala. I was one of 40 to 45 individuals traveling to a remote location on the Passión River in the Petén Jungle. Our mission was to build a combination clinic and missions outreach station on the river. We would help construct two buildings, as well as preach in nearby villages. Prior to leaving for the jungle, we spent our first night (Friday) in Guatemala City. Months earlier, we had arranged for the Guatemalan airline to fly us into the jungle on the following day. Upon our arrival at the airport on Saturday afternoon, however, we were informed that our flight would be delayed until the next day. Feeling an urgency to proceed as scheduled, due to the limited time we had to accomplish our mission, our leaders pressed the airline for three hours,  asking them to honor their original agreement. “No,” the manager said in his broken English, “we take you tomorrow.” “But you agreed months ago to take us today,” we argued. “We have no pilot available,” he countered. “Find one,” we pleaded. “What is your hurry? Enjoy the city,” he encouraged us. And so it went for three hours,  in and out of offices, meeting with one airline official, then another. Our leaders wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. Finally, in exasperation, one of the airline officials threw up his hands and said, “Okay, we take you now!” And they did.  That night, a horrible earthquake occurred in Guatemala City and killed 30,000 people in 34 seconds! By God’s grace, we were already 250 miles away in the jungle. Had we stayed in the city one more night – as the airlines wanted us to–some of our team would have been killed and others injured. We know this for certain because, upon our return to the city a week later, we saw the building where we had stayed the night before the earthquake — and would have been staying again had we not left on Saturday — with huge beams lying across the beds. When we were finally able to call home, we discovered that an intercessor from our home church in Ohio had received a strong burden to pray for us on the day of our scheduled flight to the jungle.  For three hours,  she was in intense intercession – yes, the same three hours that our leaders had negotiated with and pressed the airline officials. We didn’t realize that our lives were in jeopardy, nor did this intercessor. But God did. This “watchman” only knew that, for some reason, she had a strong urgency to pray for us. She was alert, as Ephesians 6:18 instructs, discerned the kairos time, and prayed until she felt released by the Holy Spirit. That, my friend, is watchman intercession! Pray with me: Father, thank You for our Helper, the Holy Spirit, who leads us, guides us, and gives us discernment. We know that as we stay alert spiritually, He will show us how and when to pray, making us effective watchmen, protecting our family and nation. Remind us to be alert and heighten our spiritual senses to hear and see.   We pray for our leaders in Congress and for President Trump’s team as they negotiate America’s financial future. We know our nation has been very irresponsible. As the negotiations have stalled and we now have a government shutdown, give wisdom to these leaders as they navigate turbulent waters. Give them discipline and determination not to compromise and spend money inappropriately. For our fellow Americans who struggle financially because of this shutdown, please give them the help they need.  And we pray against the violence in our land. We stand in agreement that this will stop, and for the exposure of those who propagate and fund it. Dry up their finances, destroy their organizations. Give our leaders wisdom as they find and stop these evildoers; give our law enforcement agencies and National Guard success as they find and remove criminals, and please protect them. All of this, we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.  We decree:  We declare that we are watching and praying as commanded, and will be faithful to listen to Holy Spirit’s alerts.  Today’s post was adapted from my book, Intercessory Prayer , (4)  published by Baker Books.

Communion in D.C. There is absolutely no doubt that we are in the beginnings of revival in America, an outpouring of such proportions that it will be considered another Great Awakening. Many efforts have contributed to this: much prayer, worship gatherings, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and more. Small acts of obedience have been essential; grassroots efforts that are often unseen by the masses combine in the spirit realm to become great waves of anointing and momentum. Occasionally, however, the Lord leads individuals to convene larger gatherings of believers. Lou Engle and The Call  come to mind, as does Washington for Jesus , A Million Women , and others.  One of the more unique and larger gatherings that Holy Spirit has orchestrated was Awaken the Dawn   in October 2017. Fifty-eight tents lined the Washington Mall, filled with 24/7 worship led by 1700 worship teams. Yes, I said 1700. Fifty thousand people attended, and 4,000,000 participated online! Many people were saved, including government officials, and many more were healed. Also, statewide movements of prayer and revival were birthed in EVERY state. This event truly was used to help birth a new day. And the fruit didn’t end that day–since 2017, Awaken the Dawn  has hosted 800 tent gatherings in capitals, campuses, and cities around the nation…EIGHT HUNDRED!  Holy Spirit has led David Bradshaw and Awaken the Dawn  to host another gathering on the National Mall called Communion America .  It will take place next week, October 9-12. Although he and his ministry are taking point, this is a collaboration of several ministries, including ours. Fifty tents, one for each state, will be filled with 24/7 worship, prayer, and communion, culminating in partaking of the Lord’s Table together on Saturday, the 11th. The sacrifice of Christ will be honored as millions of people there and throughout the nation take Communion as one. Without question, this will further open the heavens over America. I can’t wait! I realize that many of you, due to jobs and other responsibilities, cannot attend every event of this nature, and there is also a short time to plan. However, if possible, consider attending this gathering for at least a day. We are told in Scripture that three times a year, all men in Israel who could possibly do so were required to attend the major feasts in Jerusalem (Exodus 23:14-19). Joel 2:16 emphasizes gathering the nation to seek the Lord’s restoration. These and other references emphasize the importance of God’s people coming together in mass at times. When we do, the agreement taking place accomplishes things in the spirit realm that cannot occur as we gather in our smaller gatherings. Also, there is something incredibly transformative about praying at seats of power–not only for the nation, but for the individual. I can safely say that God has used visits to Washington, D.C., to accomplish much in my heart. There is something about taking a stand in our nation’s capital – as both a citizen of heaven and of America – that is incredibly significant. My emotions have run the gamut when doing so, from overwhelming travail to exultant, powerful decrees. If you have never made such a pilgrimage, this would be a great time to do so. During my visits, not only have I been used by God, I have been marked . Nothing has caused me to “take ownership” of our country more than my visits to pray in Washington, D.C. Holy Spirit has reminded me many times while there, “Take ownership of this nation – it belongs to you.” Why Communion? The Lord has informed numerous leaders over the past few years that Communion would play a significant role in the coming revival. This is not a new phenomenon, by the way. The great Red River Meeting House and Cane Ridge revivals of the 1800s were born out of Communion. Those revivals rocked our nation and were used to birth the Second Great Awakening. It is no exaggeration to say that Communion birthed an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that saved our nation.  Why would the Lord choose Communion to launch and be the focal point of revival? The answer seems simple: nothing honors, calls attention to, and reminds us of Christ’s sacrifice and our salvation more than partaking of the Lord’s Table. Imagine the honor He will feel when millions of His family do so together while appealing to Him for our nation. And imagine the terror hell will feel when we do so! Nothing overcomes the powers of darkness like the blood of Jesus. God’s decree of freedom for the human race was written with His blood. It covers the Mercy Seat of heaven and unlocks God’s mercy on earth. The book of Hebrews says that the blood of Christ “speaks!” (Hebrews 12:24). Indeed, it does. Loudly. I believe its message of freedom will reverberate in the heavens over our nation next week, October 9-12, as millions of us join together to honor and call upon its life-giving power.  Join us, either in person or online. And get behind this effort with your prayers and by spreading the word. You can also help with financial support; this event is costing a couple of million dollars. Ask the Lord if He would have you sow a gift. Ceci and I have done so. Please check out the link  we are providing, which provides a more detailed explanation of the event and how to support it. Pray with me: Father, we know You relate to people, not just as individuals, but as groups of people. Family units are blessed and cursed, as are cities and entire nations. Nations also possess divine purposes and destinies. We know You raised up America to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the Earth. And though we have rejected You and turned from this calling, in Your mercy, You are restoring us. You have said we will experience a great harvest and be used, along with others, to reap an incredible harvest throughout the earth. Thank You for leading David Bradshaw and Awaken the Dawn  to host this Communion gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Now, we ask You to breathe Your life, favor, and blessing into it. Give it wind. Move upon the hearts of many to attend, and millions more to participate online. We ask that through this event, Christ would take His rightful place in our nation. As we partake of the bread and wine next week in D.C. on the grounds of the Washington Mall, arise and scatter Your enemies. Give us great breakthrough in the heavens, shattering strongholds and lifting the veil of darkness off millions of people. Let the power released as we gather merge with the power released from millions of prayers and other significant events in our nation over the past 30+ years. Amalgamate and synchronize the prayers into one explosive release of Your power. We ask for all necessary funds to cover the costs of this event. Give us more righteous leaders in our three branches of government and impart to them wisdom and understanding, as they seek to transform and reset America back to health. Pour out Your Spirit on our government – let history read that the government of America was transformed by a Third Great Awakening. Awaken it! Enlighten it! Return it to our righteous roots. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen. Our decree:  We decree that another great revival has begun in America, and will increase through the power of Christ’s blood sacrifice.

The Reset Has Begun Like many people, we have a nice upright steamer that we use to touch up our clothing (Ceci no longer likes to use the ironing board). I recall several years ago, I turned on the steamer and was waiting for it to heat up. I became distracted by something in another room and walked away for “a few seconds.” Whatever had distracted me then completely captured my attention, and I forgot about the steamer; the seconds turned into an hour or so.  When I remembered turning on the steamer, I ran to check on it, thinking I had either burnt up its motor, or perhaps even caught something on fire. Fortunately, there was no fire, but the water tank was empty, and the steamer would no longer operate. I refilled the tank, toggled the on/off switch several times, but I couldn’t get it to work. I had burned up the motor. This was a nice steamer, somewhat expensive, and I was really frustrated about ruining it. Several thoughts went through my mind: Do I take it somewhere and try to have it repaired? Do I tinker with it and try to fix it? Or do I just throw it away and buy a new one?  Then I noticed a small button on the bottom edge of the steamer, almost hidden underneath it, that I had never seen before. Could it be?  I wondered. Does this steamer have an automatic shut-off and a reset button/feature? I pressed the button, and a few seconds later could hear the water heating up. In a minute or two, I had steam. Saved by the reset!! Reset features are wonderful, saving a lot of time and preserving many items from the junk pile—if we know they’re there, that is.  Currently, Congress, the Supreme Court, and especially the Trump administration are pushing the reset button on many areas of American governance. The borders were on overload, but Trump pushed the reset button. Spending was, and still is to a great degree, out of control, but Trump and Congress are pushing the reset button. The trade deficit was out of balance, but Trump pushed the reset button. Some federal judges were way out of control, but the Supreme Court has and continues to push reset buttons. Crime had gotten way out of control, but Trump and the National Guard are pushing the reset button.  Yesterday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told America’s military officers that he was pushing the reset button. Our military would exist for war, not politics and social experiments. He outlined a 10-point plan to reset the military. “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate-change worship. No more division, distractions, and gender delusions. No more debris…we are done with that (expletive),” Hegseth declared. (1)  Reset! God resets things: individuals’ lives (2 Corinthians 5:17), times and seasons (Daniel 2:21), nations (Jeremiah 1:10; Job 12:23), careers (Acts 13:2-3), and more. One of the New Testament words that has the connotation of a reset is apokatistasis , which is used in Acts 3:21. (2)  Translated as “restoration” in most versions of Scripture, it basically means to “restore something to its original condition.” Some lexicons use the word “reconstitute” to define this word. Constitution refers to an entity’s construction - how it is made - and/or how it functions. Obviously, reconstitute, restore, reset, and even reformation would be synonyms of one another.  Acts 3:21 speaks of “ seasons  of restoration” - periods in which God is reconstituting situations on earth back to the way they’re supposed to be. The word “seasons” is a clear indication that historical resets of nations don’t happen instantly - there is no reset button for this. Nevertheless, the reconstitution occurs, restoring things to the way they are supposed to be. The margin of the Passion Translation states that here in Acts is the only time in the New Testament this form of the word is used, and that it is actually a medical term meaning “restoration of perfect health.” God is restoring America to health and to His original purpose for her. He is reconstituting us. Unlike my steamer, it will take some time. But like my steamer, we have not been destroyed. God’s mercy, made possible through prayer and repentance, shut down the power flow of spiritual darkness that was attempting to destroy us. And He is resetting our nation. Pray for our leaders as they continue to do their part - we have a long way to go. And also continue to pray for revival. Revivals enable the resetting of nations much more quickly, radically altering the mindset of millions of people. It is the closest thing to a cultural reset button. God has engaged it for us, and the water is heating. Feed this radical shift and reconstitution with your prayers as it unfolds and intensifies.  Pray with me: Father, thank You for restoration, for reconstituting and resetting people and nations. It is Your grace and mercy, received by faith, that restores us. You have said You are restoring our nation. We can certainly see this beginning and, by Your grace, we will see it through to completion. We ask that You reset our government, our families, our churches, and our schools. Reconstitute us to Your ways and to the purpose for which You created our nation.  As revival continues to build momentum, we ask that it would touch all ages, races, and segments of society. We ask for powerful waves of revival to come into our inner cities, radically transforming them. Remove gangs and violence, and break the spirit of poverty from them. Raise up strong churches in these inner cities and wise leaders to spearhead revival and reformation. Deliver, heal, save, and transform. We also ask these things for the rural communities of our nation. Let no one escape the wave of revival as it sweeps across our nation. And cause the transformation in our government to continue. Expose the corruption in the Deep State, the courts, Congress, and anywhere in the Executive branch of our government. Restore a God-honoring, God-fearing, Bible-believing government in our nation, just as it was in our nation’s beginning. All of these things we ask in Yeshua’s name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the reconstitution of our nation has begun and will continue!

We Will Not Fear; We Will Not Back Down Another church was viciously attacked over the weekend, a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. On Sunday, at least four people were killed and eight others wounded in the shooting attack, then the shooter set the church ablaze, with many people inside. At the time of this writing, it was feared they may find more casualties in the rubble of the burned building.  Spirits of violence, hatred, and murder have been unleashed in our nation. This has been happening for some time, but now seems to be escalating. I don’t want to overspiritualize what is occurring – there are obviously multiple reasons and causes – but one of them is most certainly a spiritual door of violence and murder opened in America by the shedding of innocent blood through abortion. We are told very clearly in Scripture that this releases a curse on the land (Numbers 35:33; see also Proverbs 6:17).  We are also instructed to  “give no place to the devil”  (Ephesians 4:27). “Place” comes from the Greek word topos, (1)  from which we get the English word topography. This word is used not only to literally speak of lands or places, but also figuratively, as it is here, in reference to giving or providing a “ place  of opportunity” or a “ place  of power.” In this same sense, topos  is the word for a scabbard, a place in which to carry a sword or gun. “Don’t give satan ground or territory upon which he has a legal right, spiritually speaking, to implement his weapons or his control.” Paul used the term “topos”  in Acts 25:16, referencing his “license” (KJV) or legal right in Roman law to defend himself against the charges brought against him. The point of these references is that sin can provide a legal right to satan, giving him a “place” from which to release his stealing, killing, and destroying (John 10:10). These sins can actually defile and bring curses to the very land upon which we live, according to the above verse in Numbers, as well as others.  America’s sins, especially abortion, have given satan access to our land. Another sin that has opened the door to satan’s activities is the sin of rebellion. America rebelled against God, His Word, and His Lordship. Rebellion, we are told in Scripture, is the equivalent of witchcraft (1Samuel 15:23), opening the door to demonic activity and control. It cost Saul his position as king of Israel.  Idolatry could also be listed as a sin that defiles the land and brings curses upon people and nations. We could certainly list others, but it is not my purpose to offer a list of America’s sins. I am simply pointing out that as a nation, we are still reaping the results of giving place to satan, one of those results being the violence and murder we are experiencing. (I am not suggesting that those affected are experiencing the violence because they personally sinned. But rather that in a general sense, it is taking place.) And yet, there is “good news,” which is the meaning of the word “gospel.” The good news/gospel is that we can be forgiven – both individually and corporately – through the blood of Jesus, which was shed for our sins and is now on deposit, sprinkled on the Mercy Seat in heaven (Hebrews 9). The good news is also that God loves  to redeem, not judge, and that His mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13).  Americans have been unlocking this corporate forgiveness and cleansing, removing satan’s legal right to release death and violence, through repentance, the reversal of Roe vs Wade, and the enactment of righteous laws. The cleansing is not yet complete, however. One of the reasons is that the shedding of innocent blood is ongoing, as is rebellion and other forms of sin. But the cleansing IS occurring!  Do not underestimate the power of our prayers. And don’t underestimate the power released when our national government reverses evil laws and enacts God-honoring edicts. The cleansing effects flow from the head to the body, and they remove the spiritual ground satan was given. Also, do not underestimate the power of those in government who pray and repent on behalf of our nation, calling on God for His forgiveness and mercy. Reread the post of September 26 , titled “Mercy is Our New Currency.”  We are appealing to heaven for this mercy, “purchased” for us through the blood of Jesus. Pray that believers in our government become increasingly bold in doing so, even publicly. In the natural realm, I am expecting President Trump and his team to take stronger actions against the violence in our nation. God has given him and his team backbones of steel; they won’t back down, but will do everything they can to quell the violence and rebellion. This will generate more demonic manifestations and rebellious “tantrums” for a season, perhaps even more violence. When you see this, don’t fear. Stay in faith. I am suggesting that churches all across our nation pray prayers of repentance in their corporate gatherings, asking God’s forgiveness for the shedding of innocent blood and for our rebellion against Him. Then ask that all of the territory given to satan through this defiling of our land – his “place” – be removed from him, and the spirit of violence and murder be broken off our land. Pray for protection over your members and your gatherings.  I also suggest that we all do this for our homes and families. Declare that through the blood of Jesus, Psalm 91 will be fulfilled over you and yours.  Satan is trying to stop what God has begun in our nation. He wants us to cower in fear and retreat from our stand for righteousness and truth. The current violence is one of his weapons for this. We will resist his attempts; we will not fear, we will not back up, we will not back down, and we will overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and the name of Jesus. “There’s an amazing door of opportunity standing wide open for [us] to minister here, even though there are many who oppose and stand against [us]… Remember to stay alert and hold firmly to all that you believe. Be mighty and full of courage.” ‭‭ (1 Corinthians‬ ‭16‬:‭9,13‬ ‭TPT‬‬) Pray with me:  Father, we begin today by asking You to forgive our nation for taking the lives of over 60 million innocent children through abortion. We could never atone for this gross evil. America deserves nothing but judgment and curses. But we thank You that through the blood of Jesus, we can receive – not what we deserve – but Your mercy. We thank You that Jesus took the punishment we deserve, and through His blood sprinkled on the Mercy Seat of heaven, provided mercy for us.  Through this, we ask You to cleanse America, washing away all of our sins and their resulting curses. We ask that the “place” that has been given to the spirit of murder in America be removed. Break the hold of violence and bring peace to our nation.  We ask for a continuation and increase of the revival that has begun; it will further cleanse and remove the deception that allows our great national sins. And we ask You to raise up more and more righteous leaders in our government who understand principles of repentance and spiritual cleansing, and who desire to follow Your ways. Give them the faith and boldness to repent on behalf of our nation and to make biblical, life-giving decrees. All of these things we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We decree that God’s mercy endures forever, knowing no end. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

Church Services in the Capitol After Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, those who use fear-mongering against patriotic Christians, calling us “Christian nationalists,” predictably amped up their rhetoric. The tired arguments and ludicrous accusations that we want to force Christianity and biblical ideals on everyone ratcheted up again. You know you are losing the battle when all you have left are lies and slander. Sadly, even many pastors have bought into the lie that churches should avoid all cultural issues. Many of them refused to comment on Kirk’s assassination, not even willing to offer a prayer for his family. “Don’t mention societal issues, government, education, etc., at church. Don’t mix religion and politics,” they say.  However, isn’t it interesting that by mixing faith, politics, education (campuses were his mission field), and the societal issues of our day, Charlie Kirk was used by God more than any Christian leader of our time. It wouldn’t surprise me if, when all is said and done, his influence will have led more people to Christ than any pastor in America. Maybe more than any denomination. So much for the “leave politics and culture alone; just win people to Christ” theology.  The fact is that most people attending church on a regular basis want their pastors to teach them what the Bible says about societal and cultural issues. A few years ago, George Barna conducted a poll entitled, “What Would People Like to Hear About in Church Sermons?” The poll revealed the broad interest Christians have in topics regarding governance and related social issues. When asked about interest in these topics, a clear majority of Christians expressed a desire to learn more: Abortion - 91% 
(beginning of life, right to life, contraception, adoption, unwed mothers)
 Religious persecution/liberty - 86% 
(personal duty vs. government duty, church response, global conditions)
 Poverty - 85%
 (personal duty vs. government role, church response, homelessness, hunger, dependency)
 Cultural restoration - 83%
 (appropriate morals, law and order, defensible values and norms, self-government)
 Sexual identity - 82% 
(same-sex marriage, transgenderism, marriage, LGBT)
 Israel - 80% 
(role in the world, Christian responsibility to Israel, US foreign policy toward Israel and her enemies)
 Christian Heritage - 79% 
(role of Christian faith in American history, the church's role in U.S. development, modern-day relevance)
 Role of Government - 76% 
(biblical view, church-state relationship, personal responsibility, limitations)
 Bioethics - 76% 
(cloning, euthanasia, genetic engineering, cryogenics, organ donation, surrogacy)
 Self-governance - 75%
 (biblical support, personal conduct, impact on freedom, national sovereignty)
 Church in politics/government - 73%
 (separation of church and state, legal boundaries, church resistance to government)
 Islam - 72% 
(core beliefs, response to Islamic aggression, a threat to U.S. peace and domestic tranquility.)
 According to Mark Burrell in his book Rediscovering the American Covenant , people were asking for biblical guidance on these issues, which are certainly some of the most relevant and important of our time. The survey also asked pastors if they had plans to discuss these topics from the pulpit. The results? Only 14% answered “Yes.” (1) The truth is that the supposed “wall of separation” between church and the government isn’t in the Constitution; it was a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson in a letter. The First Amendment of the Constitution states in part that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”   In his letter, Jefferson assured denominational leaders that our government would never be controlled by one religious group (as had been the case in England), nor would the government have the right to control the church (as also occurred in Britain). NEVER was it implied by our founders that God or religion should have no influence in government, education, or public life. Nor is it true that government funds or public facilities were to be prevented from use by the church. These are all lies designed to remove the influence of God from our nation. If someone had told our Founding Fathers to leave God out of the process of forming and running our government, they would’ve thought that person was insane.  It would shock some Americans to know that Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the letter with the now-famous phrase “wall of separation,” attended a church service in the Capitol building two days later. (2)  (Share that with a liberal friend, but only if they have a strong heart.)  Actually, numerous presidents and members of Congress attended church services in the Capitol – for decades!  – including John Quincy Adams, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln, and others. Adams explained why he attended: “I consider it as one of my public duties – as a representative of the people – to give my attendance every Sunday morning when Divine service is performed in the Hall.” (3) The Rostrum of the House Speaker was used as the pulpit, and Congress purchased the hymnals! I realize you probably weren’t taught this in our public school system, many of which indoctrinate, propagandize, and revise history. But, as Adams said, “Facts are stubborn things.” And it gets worse for the “separation” crowd. The Capitol was actually used for church services before ever being used by Congress! Approved December 4, 1800, by both the House and Senate, (4)  services began before the entire Capitol was completed, and Congress itself could move in. Jefferson (the wall of separation guy), Vice President at the time and therefore leader of the Senate, approved it on behalf of the Senate. He attended the services for years, throughout his time as Vice President and President, (5)  had a designated seat ,(6)  and was so committed to it that he even made the journey in inclement weather. (7) Services first began to be held in the north wing of the Capitol, moved to Statuary Hall as they grew in number, and eventually landed in the House Chamber. It was, in fact, the first official use of the Chamber on December 13, 1857, with as many as 2000 people in attendance! (8)  Services were interdenominational, speakers were local pastors or the House and Senate Chaplains, (9)  and included women (10) and blacks. (11)  Some churches were actually allowed to use it as their meeting place until they procured other buildings. (12)  And when needed, the Supreme Court Chamber, then in the Capitol building, was also used! (12,14)  How ironic is that! Don’t allow the lies of politicians, educators, or anyone else to deceive you. Our Founders were God-honoring and God-fearing men and women and were guided by Judeo-Christian ethics. And they welcomed God into governmental affairs. Pray with me: Father, just as Nehemiah told Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem, those trying to stop him from rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, that they had “no historical right” or “claim” to Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2:20; NIV and Expanded Bible), we echo those words today. Those who want to transform America into a non-Christian nation have no covenantal, historical right to America. You, who own all the earth, raised up America for YOUR purposes. We stand in Your authority and decree that this purpose will not be stolen.   And though we have previously lost ground in this spiritual war, You have told us America shall be saved. Your mercies endure forever, and we ask now for this never-ending mercy to be extended. In the all-powerful name of Jesus, we bind the forces of darkness trying to disconnect America from her Christian roots. We declare that the systems and groups these forces are using will be completely unsuccessful, and many from within them will come to Christ.   We declare with our Founders that America has “no King but Jesus,” and will serve no other gods. We declare that our roots are still alive and will once again bring forth the fruits Holy Spirit intends America to produce. We will experience a turnaround comparable to the great restorations of Israel. We declare that we will be a light and blessing to all the nations of the earth.   Father, we thank You in advance for the great revival that is beginning. Millions of people will come to know You in this nation, and hundreds of millions around the world. We thank You for the incredible revival coming to the campuses of America and the world. Thank You for saving a generation from the strongholds of humanism, rebellion, drugs, immorality, gender confusion, and more. May they taste and see just how good You are. May they fall in love with Your Word and become acquainted with Your ways.   We ask You to continue to transform the church. Mature us into the glorious church You spoke of in scripture. Build the Ekklesia You promised to build that cannot be overcome by the plans and government of hell. We ask and decree all of this in the all-powerful name of Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We decree that the voice of the church will no longer be silent. We will speak the Lord’s Word into all of society. Click on the link below to watch the full video.

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. Click on the link below to watch the full video. mercycoin.com

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.  Today’s post was contributed by my brother, Tim Sheets.
