This afternoon I was in an extended time of prayer when I heard that Charlie Kirk had been fatally shot. I immediately went into prayer regarding this tragedy. After some time I asked the Lord if He had anything to say to His people. He responded with these words:

“I want you to tell My People something for Me. I want you to tell them to TRUST Me. This is a heinous act. Heaven weeps. And heaven rejoices to welcome one of its own home – and into the arms of Jesus.

“You will be tempted to ask Me why. Why did I allow this? Am I not the all powerful God who could have stopped this event? I have spoken to you before regarding your questions of WHY. Go back and look at that word. For there I remind you that I AM God and you are not. That there are balances, scales, decisions of the ages that belong only to the Most High God. And I say to you now, America, I Love you and will Guide you. I hear your prayers, My People. Your enemy will not triumph in this. I declare to you that I in My Sovereign Power will build upon this act performed in hatred and rebellion against Me. I will build upon even this evil–GOOD for My Nation of America. Watch and see what I bring out of this. Cry your tears, yes. Mourn, for this evil should be mourned. Call out for My comfort and protection of Charlie Kirk’s family. And cry your decrees to heaven that I WILL use this sin and shame to bring America to its knees before Me. I use ALL. Nothing your enemy does is beyond My reach or My Sovereign turning. NOTHING. Amen.”

I asked the Lord to help me find the previous word He was talking about–and He led me to the word on January 31, 2025. He spoke twice that night. I could not have known then that the words are for us right now. I can also understand now what He led me to pray about so aggressively and fervently in between these two words. Here is how I described what happened in my journal:

“I had an intense night last night, with two words from the Lord. And in the middle He urged me out of bed to kneel and pray. I began to pray fervently and vehemently in the spirit, pounding the air with my fists and declaring silently with all my might, mouthing the words in order to be quiet for Mark’s sake. I sensed danger coming. But we will be the victors. Even though it will shake up the nation and Trump, and drive him to fulfill the prophecy of being ‘a praying president.’”
—
Here are the two words the Lord spoke that night, the first at 1:40 a.m., followed by the time of fervent prayer, then the second word at 3:11a.m.:

1:40: “Take it from here. Take it from here and GO. Use My Momentum. Can you see the Glory and Favor I AM pouring over America? Even in the midst of your enemy’s strikes. He causes death – and would kill the nation if I let him. I cause LIFE. I cause TURN-AROUND. How swiftly those who fight against Me now fall. How quickly righteous laws now go through the land.

“Do not cease your prayers, My People. Your declarations against evil stop your enemy’s plans more than you know. Think of the smoothness of the transition of power in your nation. Do you think your enemy had no plans for evil? See with spiritual eyes. The total lack of frightful events speaks to great battles of My angels against evil – battles thoroughly won. This is the result of your PRAYERS. You must Wage War every day – ALL day. You must keep your feet planted deeply in TRUST of Me. Do not allow yourself to weaken through WHYs regarding the evil you do see. Know that I can turn the deepest grief for GOOD, yes, even JOY. Matters of WHY are too weighty for you, a load you are not meant to carry. Let God be God. You, My Warriors, must continue the fight I give you. Stopping to ask Why weakens your resolve. Turns your eyes from the battle and My Sovereignty to the works of your enemy. Come to Me for strength and forbearance, and I will give it.

“Declare against all attacks. Thwart every plan of the enemy with your mouth, your prayers and decrees. Then Trust My response. The heavens over America are fraught with the battling of My Host. Peace in your nation is a moment by moment victory won.

“Spend time with Me. Dedicated, set-aside time for praise and focus. Let Me refresh you, delight you. Let Me remind you WHO I AM. Look to the trajectory of your nation – and see the gained ground I have already given you. Defend your territory and yield nothing to your enemy. Your future, America, shines before you. Pray daily, often, for your leader and those chosen to work with him. Do NOT assume he is safe without your prayers. Know that your prayers ARE his safety. I have given you many words of instruction. All glisten with My Truth and Revelation. Do not forget them. Go back and read again for fresh insight. My words are not meant to last only a day. They carry continued strength for your battle and Prove My Wonders. They refresh your heart and mind. Cling to Me in these days and do not let go. Be as a small child in danger, who only fastens on to his mother all the tighter. I AM your Shepherd, your guide and protector. I AM your Commander In Chief. I AM the Great I AM.

“Blessed be God for His Righteousness and Faithfulness. Glory to the Great I AM. Amen.”

3:11: “Pray, My People, PRAY. Do not cease. Incoming missiles. Pray to STOP. Thy will be done, Lord God in Heaven. Thy WILL shall NOT BE STOPPED. AMEN.”

These verses are the ones the Lord led me to post on January 31, 2025:

John 10:10: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

II Kings 6:15-17: Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Psalm 119:38: Establish Your word to Your servant, as that which produces reverence for You.

Psalm 119:49-50: Remember the word to Your servant, in which You have made me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, that Your word has revived me.

Job 42:2: “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

“You shall bend but not break.

“What is bending? Is bending wrong? Or constructive? Look at My trees who bend in the wind. Are they not meant to bend in order to keep the wind from snapping them in two? Bending and resilience go hand-in-hand. Bending is a tactic for survival, a weapon in itself against the enemy. Bending does not mean a failure to stand firm. For the roots of that tree bent in severe wind still stand firm. Are allowed and strengthened to stand firm because of the very bending of the upper parts of the tree. Think on this, My People. Reflect on this. There is great wisdom here for you. Ask Me in the battle – is this a time in which I should bend? If you will only ask Me, I will tell you when you should bend – and what that means for you. What that will look like as you fight the particular battle I have placed you in.

“Look to the word ‘bend’ in another context. My People bend the knee to only Me. Bending the knee is a sign of worship, of humbling oneself before Me. This, too, is a bending that I require of you.

“The unrighteous bend righteous laws as an excuse to get around those laws. This is a bending not of Me. Declare against the rulers in your nation who attempt to bend laws in their favor rather than enact and obey laws based upon My Will for your nation.

“Search My Word for the word BEND. Search with an open heart – and see what I teach you. Ask Me for Revelation before you search. I delight in giving Revelation to My People.

“There is a time to stand straight and firm. There is a time to bend in the wind of adversity for the sake of your own Victory – and Mine. Learn the difference. Learn this mystery. I will give you Revelation as you seek Me in this. Amen.”

Notes:

What an interesting and challenging word. I encourage each of you to do your own search through the Bible as you ask God for revelation to apply it to your life. This is the kind of word that God often brings to mind in future times, just when we need it. And in those times we find further revelation. For now, here are a few verses I found in searching the general word/concept “bend.”

The concept of humbling ourselves–or bending–under God’s hand as we go through difficulties. Notice Peter says we can stand firm in the faith even during this “bending”:

I Peter 5:6-10: Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

Bending the tongue as a lying weapon makes me think of the unrighteousness rulers who bend laws in their own favor:

Jeremiah 9:3: “They bend their tongue like their bow; Lies and not truth prevail in the land; For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.

Palm trees bend in the wind, cedars do not. Both are made to be strong:

Psalm 92:12: The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.

Bend the bow = fighting battles, either for God or against Him:

Psalm 18:30-36: As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God, the God who girds me with strength and makes my way blameless? He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places. He trains my hands for battle, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

Jeremiah 50:29: Summon many against Babylon, all those who bend the bow: Encamp against her on every side, let there be no escape. Repay her according to her work; According to all that she has done, do to her; For she has become arrogant against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

Psalm 11:2: For, behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string to shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Bending in servitude or worship:

Mark 1:7-8 He [John the Baptist] kept proclaiming, “The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not worthy to bend down and untie his sandal straps. I baptized you with water, but it is he who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Isaiah 45:23: “I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.”

“Build a wall, My People. I say again, build a wall. A wall against sin entering your life. A wall against attacks from your enemy. I AM YOUR WALL. I AM your Protector, Defender. You can be an impenetrable fortress against your enemy. I can make you such, if you will only allow Me to do so. As you walk with Me daily, moment by moment, I AM your Guide. Your Light. I show you the way. I give you the very words you need to declare against your enemy’s wiles. I give you insight beyond the veil to see what I AM doing – and how your enemy is trying to stop Me from working in your life.

“I cannot say this TRUTH to you enough: any thing in your life that you do not actively and continually give to Me cannot be under My continued Protection. What you hold back is what you try to fix of your own accord, your own understanding and rationale. Your understanding is often wrong. I give you Right Understanding. I AM your source for Discernment and Wisdom. You cannot rely on yourself for these things.

“On ice skates, you will glide where your push-off has sent you. Even in the glide, an ice skater must watch balance. Must be aware that at any point of lack of concentration, he can fall. Understand Me in this. An ice skater does not remain upright on the ice merely by what he does in pushing against the ice and thrusting himself forward. He must also be fully aware during the glide. In the same way, I call to you, My People, to not think you can skate freely because you have pushed off well. You must keep your concentration, your mind and heart, on Me at all times. Your enemy always seeks for a way to knock you over. You shall not be knocked over as you move and breathe and LIVE with Me.

“This is a constant diligence to which I call you. Many of My People go about their day rarely thinking of Me. Rarely considering what would be My Will for what they say or do or choose in the moment. Those of you who consider My Will for you throughout the day – you are the strong ones. But you, too, can fall – even be deceived by your enemy – in a weakened moment. If you fall, I AM there to pick you up. But falls can hurt. Can cost in time and grace of movement. Is it not better to not fall in the first place?

“To My ekklesia who now fight for the return to godliness of your nation – I see your loyalty and service. I see you engage in the battle against your enemy. I see your weariness when the battle seems to rage on. And I SEE YOUR ULTIMATE VICTORY. Do not rest, do not let up. Know that I hear all your prayers and declarations. Know that I sustain you with My Righteous Right Hand. Do not give up. Do not give in. There is no strength that I cannot give you. There is no place where you need to go that I cannot take you. Without Me, you fall. With Me, you are ever Victorious. Do not ask Me how long will be your fight. Ask Me – ‘What must I learn during this battle? What preparation am I now going through in order to be the soldier You need me to be, Lord, in the future?’

“I AM ever at your side. I AM ever planning for your future, for your good. Trust Me in this. I will NEVER fail you.

“Amen. So be it.”

Notes:

Psalm 18:2: The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.

Proverbs 18:10: The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

Psalm 61:1-3: Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength against the enemy.

Psalm 119:105: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

James 1:5: If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Proverbs 2:6: For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

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

Psalm 37:23-24: The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

Isaiah 40:28-31: Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

Isaiah 41:10: So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Deuteronomy 20:3-4: He shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

Hebrews 12:11: No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

“I want you to dwell in Me. I want you to dwell in My Glory. ‘How do I dwell in Your Glory?’ you ask.

“Remember what My Glory is. It IS ME. My Glory is My Presence, Power. It is the KNOWING of Me. The discernment and understanding of WHO I AM, and My Will for you, for your life and in the moment. My Glory is catching. You can spread it as one would spread a contagion. My GLORY is CONTAGIOUS. The Israelites saw My Glory on Moses’s face, and were terrified. They could have caught and worn My Glory as well, had they obeyed and listened to Me as Moses did. But they refused. They refused out of fear to hear My Voice. They refused time and time again to obey Me. So it is with you, My People. Obedience and a life lived moment by moment with Me will lead you to My Glory.

“As My Glory falls on the nations, it will REST on those who will receive Me.

“My Glory is always, always for giving away. The more you give away of Me, the more you spread My Presence and My Words, the more you retain upon yourself. The greater and deeper your own carrying of My Glory will be. My Glory is SUPERNATURAL LIVING. You cannot live in My supernatural Power, you cannot perform with Me My supernatural miracles, without My Glory.

“I tell My disciples in My Word – cast out demons, heal the sick, and raise the dead. None of these things are possible without My Glory. Do not seek to perform these miracles in your life. Seek ME first. Seek MY GLORY – and these supernatural manifestations shall come upon you. I wait for you, My People, to seek Me with all your heart. Those who seek Me shall carry My Glory. This is My promise to you, My People. These words are Sure and True.

“All praise and honor to the Most High God who longs to share His Glory with you. Amen.”
