“Great waters are coming, but they will not envelope you, My People. Pray now for your complete preparation. REST in Me. And when this flood comes to you, oh America, you will be Prepared. You will be at Peace. You will stand back and watch My Judgment of the wicked, even as you and your families are protected.

“How much do you TRUST Me? Do you trust Me enough to stand unshaken in My Peace even as the Storm rages around you? If the thought of such a Storm frightens you – come to Me, your Captain in the Storm. I will prepare you – but only as you allow Me to do so. I seek to sink your piers deep into the ocean floor so that you will not be shaken when the waves rise. The waves are not for you, My People. Remember this. Grasp this statement into your soul. It is easy to nod your head now. But in the midst of crashing waves, will you remember and stand firm? I need My People to stand firm, both for the good of yourselves and your families, and as a testimony to those around you who are tossed about and terrified.

“This message to you is not new. I have spoken again and again of the Storm America will soon face. Remember this – I speak no words simply to hear My own Voice. I speak repetition to call your attention to the fast approach of the issue. I call you into fasting and prayer in order to prepare yourselves to be the Beacons of Light I expect you to be during the Storm. Ask Me to reveal to you your areas of weakness in your Preparation. I will answer.

“I AM forever your port, your tower in the Storm. But you must come to Me – to where I AM. Read My verses in My Bible regarding this. Read them with fresh eyes. And understand the weight, the immensity of these promises to YOU.

“I AM ever present. I will NEVER leave you. Consider your grounding in these Promises. And come to Me now for whatever strengthening you need. You lack NOTHING in Me.

“To the One who is All Powerful, the One who is LORD OVER THE STORM, be Glory, Honor, and Praise forever and ever. Amen.”

Notes:

Here are some examples of the Lord being a place of refuge for His people during a storm, including His own storm of judgment:

Nahum 1:2-3, 7: A jealous and avenging God is the Lord; The Lord is avenging and wrathful. The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries,
and He reserves wrath for His enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. In whirlwind and storm is His way, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet…The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble,
and He knows those who take refuge in Him.

Psalm 32:6-7: Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him. You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. 

Proverbs 18:10: The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.

Isaiah 43:2: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.

II Samuel 22:2-7: The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. For the waves of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me; The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the Lord. Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help came into His ears.

Psalm 34:15-17: The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.

Mark 4:37-41: And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up. Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.” And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They became very much afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

Psalm 107:28-31: Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses. He caused the storm to be still, so that the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad because they were quiet, so He guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, and for His wonders to the sons of men!

Psalm 89:8-9: O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. You rule the swelling of the sea;
When its waves rise, You still them.

Psalm 46:1-3: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. 

Isaiah 25:4: For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the ruthless is like a rain storm against a wall.

“I come upon the breath of My Truth. I come to the nations to judge and reward based on My TRUTH. The feet of the Lion of Judah touch down upon the earth to walk its soil. To call for Judgment where needed and to call for Reward to those who follow Me. My Judgment upon the unrepentant wicked is for all to see. For through My Judgment, My Righteousness shines. What good is a Righteous God who never displays His Righteousness? Who sees sin and injustice and merely shrugs? Understand this, all people of the earth – I NEVER shrug. I wait in My Mercy, I give time for repentance. I call and call to the wicked, giving them warning after warning. I do not rejoice in judging the wicked. I would that I do not have to judge anyone. But judge I shall, when My Mercy no longer can apply. When My Mercy can no longer be felt, can no longer penetrate a heart so hardened against it. I weigh Judgment and Mercy in My Hands. I judge to punish for sin, I judge to save the innocent.

“My Kingdom come on earth cannot come without the winnowing fork of my Judgment and Reward. For through this very reaping My Power and Glory shall be seen by all. Many people on the earth – people I created – do not know how to FEAR Me. The FEAR of the Lord is the BEGINNING OF WISDOM. Without FEAR of Me, no one can set his course aright. No one can be cleansed of his sin against Me. THE EARTH MUST LEARN TO FEAR ME. The FEAR of Me brings reverence toward Me. It places Me as Head of ALL. It does not forget that you are the created, and I AM GOD. Only through this proper reverence of Me can you love Me and follow Me as you should.

“I require Holiness. I require Purity. I will build My Kingdom on earth within My People who walk in My Holiness and the Authority given to them through My Blood. Great Warriors cannot rise to such greatness without understanding their Authority and Power. Great Warriors fight as one for a common goal. The Great Warriors of My Kingdom will rise in Power, displaying signs, wonders, and miracles in My Name – all through the Glory of My Name. Look to this Promise, O My People. Those of you who still look to the skies for Me to sneak to the earth and take you out of it – it is time for you to realign your expectations with My plans. My People are not helpless. They need not be rescued. On the great contrary, YOU are needed on this earth to carry My Glory to the nations. To bring in My Harvest and disciple them as they grow into My Great Warriors.

“It starts with Judgment. With Judgment, Justice finally comes. Displayed on earth for all to see. As My People rise, so shall My Glory rise upon the Earth. As you walk in ALL the Authority I give you under My Blood, you shall fear NOTHING from your enemy. For you shall be VICTORIOUS. LIMITLESS.

“Amen.”

Notes:

Psalm 19:9-11: The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.

Isaiah 40:10: Behold, the Lord God will come with might, with His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him.

Psalm 98:1-2, 9: O sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonderful things. His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him. The Lord has made known His salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations…He is coming to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.

Matthew 6:10: Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Matthew 28:18-20: And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

I Corinthians 15:57: Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I John 5:4: For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

“The preparation is over. The TIME is NOW. Are you ready, My People? I have called you and called you over these months and years to be ready for what is to come. Time of preparation has run out. For I, your Lord God, am soon coming. For the Way for My Justice against evil in your nation is now being laid. And yet you have seen so little, America, of all the exposures to come. Evil deeds in politics and government, yes. Far greater are the evil deeds against the innocent. These abominable deeds SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED. Continue to call on Me for the exposure of these deeds. Deeds so abominable and heinous that most would never think they exist in today’s world. The SHOCK of these deeds shall vibrate across America and the world. America, you are My forerunner. Exposure within you, America, shall lead to exposure elsewhere. The WORLD must be cleansed and cleared of these heinous works against the innocent.

“Cry out to Me for the freedom of those now caught in slavery. Cry out to Me for their physical freedom and the freedom of their soul and spirit. Cry out to Me to harvest them into My Kingdom, to heal them in body, soul, and spirit. Cry out to Me to turn these beat-down victims into mighty, fearless Warriors in My Army. They shall rise and put down the very demons and satanic agendas that so enslaved them. They SHALL BE FREE, INDEED. And those who harmed them will come to My worst punishment.

“Turn away now, America, turn away. Turn away, you evildoers, from your crimes against the innocent, the children. Turn away and into My repentance and redemption now – or forever, eternally be damned. I WILL have My America cleansed of this. Of you. You unrepentant ones SHALL NOT SURVIVE MY JUDGMENT. I AM the Lamb of God. And I AM the Lion of Judah. I come to save and to devour. To reward and to judge. All shall see My reward and judgment play out. All shall see – and will know that I AM God.

“Amen and so be it. You have been WARNED.”

Notes:

Psalm 96:11-13: Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord, for He is coming, For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

Proverbs 11:21: Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.

Matthew 18:2-6: He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

Isaiah 55:7: Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Psalm 58:11: And men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”

“Christmas shall be a time of celebration. I say again, Christmas shall be a time of great celebration. For on this day My Son was born. On this day your nation is reborn. Reborn of My Light, My Spirit. THIS is the Day the Lord has made. You shall rejoice and be glad in it. For the days around Christmas – your celebration of My Son’s Birth – shall be filled with Wonder. My Spirit on the move. My Spirit surging. Bringing life. Bringing a turning. A beacon for the world. A beacon of Hope and Glory.

“When all else fails – praise the Lord? NO! Praise the Lord NOW. Praise Him at ALL TIMES. Praise Him for what He has done for you, America, and praise Him for what He shall do for you. For your days ahead are great and glorious. Days of rest and restitution after the Storm. I do not promise you ease now. Ease of days shall come. I promise you My JOY always. Joy transcends ease of circumstance. My Joy transcends All. In the NICK of Time Rises My Joy. What is a Nick of Time? A small cut. An incursion. Time suspended for My sake. And yours, oh America.

“What do we do now? My People ask. Continue on. Continue in the fight for your nation. Continue in My Grace, My Glory. My Glory now, and much more to come. Stay rooted and grounded in Me, moment by moment, for the Storm approaches. Know that I AM in the Storm. A time to arrest evil. A time for righteousness to rise. A time for the Showing of My Hand. A time for relief and rending.

“Pray into this Word, My People. Ask Me for understanding. Ask Me to prepare you, whether you fully understand or not. For the lack of total understanding of a Word from Me leads to TRUST. Requires TRUST in Me. Know that I protect and lead you through all things. Sometimes My Words can be seen in full clarity only after they have displayed themselves. The early giving of My Words then gives rise to great Faith. For My People see the graciousness of My Words beforehand – and the promised fulfilling of all spoken. No matter the display of My Words, My People are to seek shelter in Me. I AM your shelter in the storm. I AM your help in all times of trouble. I AM your STRENGTH.

“Declare these Words to the heavens. I, your Lord God, sit on My Throne in the Court of Heaven, and I hear your declarations. Your declarations of My Words align your soul and spirit with Me. With My plans for your nation. Such declarations of TRUST and FAITH in Me will strengthen and secure you when the Storm comes. Do not think your words mean nothing, My People. Every prayer from the righteous, every declaration and decree of My stated Will, comes to My ears as I sit on My Throne. Every faith-filled prayer is incense in My bowls. Full of fragrance and full of power.

“Spoken by the One True God, your God full of Grace, Mercy, and Love. Your God who NEVER CHANGES. Amen.”

Notes:

When the Lord gives a word like this to His people, it’s an invitation for us to pray into it and declare His will shall be done in the unfolding of events and their timing. I’ve learned (the hard way) to not put any of my assumptions or expectations on what is foretold. Basically, I’ve learned that whatever I expect the fulfillment of a word to look like–it won’t look like that. 🙂 For God is far more creative than our human minds.

Another general thought: when the Lord says “day” He doesn’t necessarily mean a certain twenty-four hour period. A “day” can mean a period of days. In this case we are given the Christmas season as a marker. But note that we’re not told it is Christmas of this year. It would be so easy to assume that. These events may occur this year. But at this point we have not been told.

The Lord’s promise that our prayers are heard is key. He is asking for our declarations that this word will take place–for our prayers move things in the spiritual realm. In God’s timing we see the effects in the physical world. (Note as an example verses Revelation 8:3-5, which show an angel mixing the prayers of the saints with fire from God’s altar, then throwing the mixture back to earth.)

Psalm 118:24: This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Hebrews 13:15: Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

Psalm 71:23-24: My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; and my soul, which You have redeemed. My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long…

Philippians 4:4: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

Proverbs 10:28: The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Isaiah 26:3: You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Psalm 46:1: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Proverbs 15:19: The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Job 22:26-28: For then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God. You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; And you will pay your vows. You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways.

I John 5:14: And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

Hebrews 4:16: Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Revelation 5:8: When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Revelation 8:3-5: Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

“My word is True, My word is your Confidence. Do you trust in My word, or don’t you?

“It is not enough to say you believe My word is True. If you truly believe, you will ACT upon it. Do you fully believe My promises of Goodness toward you even when you fight greatly against the enemy? Even when circumstances around you would try to erase all I have told you? These are the times of your testing. So I ask again: DO YOU BELIEVE MY WORD, OR DON’T YOU?

“Belief in My Promises of Goodness to you depends upon your REST in Me. When you learn to fully REST in Me, even in the midst of great spiritual warring, even in the midst of the world’s chaos, then you shall LIVE OUT your BELIEF in My Promises for you. For your family. For your future. For your nation.

“These are the times of great buffeting. Strong winds, evil winds will buffet you from all directions. These are from your enemy, who fights today with all he has in his power to keep My Promises, My Glory from coming to the world. I do indeed laugh at him. As if he, in his weakness, in his simpering, could even begin to overcome ME. Nor can he overcome YOU when YOU live and breathe My Promises to you. When you declare My Goodness and Truth, no matter what is happening around you, you shall remain strong in Me. You shall learn complete stability and unshakability in Me. Yes, My people in these days are greatly beleaguered because of the enemy’s wrath against My Promises. He looks to bring you down, to shut your mouths from speaking and declaring My Promises for you and your nation. DO NOT LET HIM WIN. He has no power over you when you stand in MY POWER. Declare by the BLOOD OF MY SON that all machinations and schemes from the enemy against you must go. Cast off all evil spirits and their oppression over you. The enemy would seek to make you so oppressed that you can barely pray. This is NEVER The Truth. You can ALWAYS pray and declare My Truth over you. Do so – and watch the enemy flee. Feel the oppression over you rise.

“Remember My words to you. I have spoken them to you again and again: YOUR PRAISE IS YOUR GREATEST WEAPON. Keep praising Me regardless. Look at the beginning of Psalm 34. Read and memorize. ‘I shall bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth…’ Let these verses spill from your mouth when you are at your lowest point. Test Me in this – and see if I do not raise you above the oppression your enemy tries to heap upon you.

“Remember My Promise from My Word: ‘I shall crush Satan beneath your feet.’ How do I crush Satan beneath your feet? Through YOUR declarations of your Power over him through Me. Through your PRAISE of Me. Station, Stand, and See the Lord God fight for you as you remain in battle as He calls you. My Power strengthens, fortifies. My Power is never-ending and BOUNDLESS. When you stand in My Power, you SHALL NEVER BE SHAKEN.

“Even when you are so crushed that you can only whisper – whisper MY PRAISES. And see what I WILL DO for you, My Servant who loves Me.

“My PROMISES are True. My PROMISES are Steadfast. This TRUTH WILL NEVER CHANGE. Amen.”
