12:47 a.m.: “Where do we go from here, America? Forward, never back. Forward with JOY.
“How do you live with Joy in the seriousness of this time? When I have called you to be alert for evil, to stop bullets and death with your declarations of safety? What is Joy, that it would find itself here?
“Joy is built within you, one piece, one victory at a time. Understanding your Power over your enemy, your Freedom from fear, brings Joy. How could it not? For the world forever seeks to enslave you.
“Understanding your Purpose, your Destiny of living and conquering in this time brings the Joy of Confidence. Fully realizing My Presence with you moment by moment brings the Joy of Peace. Witnessing My answers to your prayers brings the Joy of Victory. Living in the fulfillment of My Promises brings the Joy of Wonder.
“I AM Joy.
“Your Joy is built through your diligence. Your vigilance. Your refusing to back down or waver. Your Joy in Me is your Strength.
“Look for Me amid all things. Maintain awareness of My constant Presence. I AM the God of Moses, who parted the sea at My command. I AM the God of Gideon, who went to battle against a massive enemy with 300 men – and won Israel’s freedom. I AM the God who causes the crippled to walk, the blind to see, the dead to rise. I AM the God who bought back your stolen authority with My own Blood. As you face this time with Me – WHAT CAN YOU NOT DO?
“Attune your ears to Me now, My People. Hear Me as never before. Walk with Me. Follow My path, My guidance – and your victory is assured. DO NOT STOP PRAYING AGAINST EVIL. Do not stop declaring NO to their plans of death. Keep my words close to your heart. I WILL NOT FAIL YOU.
“Give praise to the God of Peace and Joy. Give Praise to your God of Victory. Shout Praise to the God of Conquering. Amen.”
