The Lord did not speak last night. So as I sat with Him this morning, I asked if He would have something to say to His people. (Sometimes He does, and sometimes He remains quiet.) Today, He replied:

“I would say for you to wait. Wait for Me. You are far too impatient, My People. Remember that My timing is not yours. You see on the surface. You want My promises fulfilled. You cry out for justice for those you know have done wrong. And My justice shall come. ALL of My promises for justice in your nation shall be fulfilled, America. I see far more than you do. I see the height, I see the depths of sin. I see the tangled web. I see how justice must play out in your nation. Where is My Justice amid corruption in your courts, oh America? Do you not see that I must deal with the courts?

“Do not judge My servants whom I have placed to serve your nation. You cannot see all they see and know at this time. Continue in your Trust in Me. Continue crying out to Me for My Justice – and know that I HEAR and WILL FULFILL. Do not rest on your own understanding of all I AM doing in your nation. Look to ME with spiritual eyes. Keep your eyes and Trust on ME.

“Pray for your leaders. Pray for your President. Pray for his discernment and wisdom regarding all that I have called him to do. The job, the daunting task, is far too great for any man to handle, no matter his strength or desire. He can only fulfill these tasks by walking securely with Me. I must have his ALL – as I must have your All.

“America fell into ruin over many years of deception laid out by your enemy. Only I can save America. Only I can choose the leadership required at this time for your nation. TRUST Me in these things. I AM SAVING AMERICA. Do not go lax in your prayers. Do not use your mouth to speak against My servants. These are curses against ME. Use your mouth to PRAISE ME and PRAY for them. Remember every word you speak is a seed. Would you sow into the camp of your enemy? Sow MY SEEDS, and MY SEEDS ONLY.

“My Word is True. What cause have I given you to doubt Me? MY WORD IS TRUE. Lean on Me, praise Me. Come to Me when you are weary, and I will revive you. I AM your Rain of Refreshment. I AM ALL you need. Amen.”

Notes:

Psalm 37:34: Wait for the Lord and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

Psalm 37:7-11: Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing. For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land. Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there. But the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

Luke 18:7: And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?

Leviticus 19:15: You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.

Psalm 103:6: The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

Ephesians 4:29: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Galatians 6:7: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

Jeremiah 31:25: For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes.

12:37: “Go with Me into battle, My Army. The time has come for you to take up the fight. Some have been fighting already. For you – keep the faith. The action soon grows more intense. Follow your Commander without hesitation or question. PRAISE Him continually. For those who have not had eyes to see, or who thought you could sit on the sidelines and cheer – come into the battlefield now – or be yanked in by My Hand.

“What does it mean to join the battle? First, PROCLAIM whose side you are on. Those who are mine MUST FIGHT ON MY SIDE. Have I not given every opportunity to open your eyes to Truth? Do you still declare against, even dare to pray against, My Chosen Leader for America – as if you know better than I? As if you could devise a plan more brilliant than Mine? OPEN YOUR EYES. Whom have I had My Hand upon no matter the schemes against him? Who remains standing and fighting for His country? Who have they not been able to destroy? Do you need yet another sure clue? Who does the old media, those mouths long in power and now diminishing, hate? THEY FIGHT NOT AGAINST MAN BUT AGAINST ME. And they will LOSE. As My Word says, ‘Let their LYING lips be MUTE.’ As for you, My People, set your tongues FOR Me, not against Me. I cannot heed the prayers of those who continue in their blind fight against Me. Humble yourselves before Me, repent for your stubbornness, and PROCLAIM you are on My Side.

“Second, MARCH into battle. Take up your spiritual weapons against the evil you see in your country. Declare with your mouth I AM saving America. Declare with your mouth I will expose all hidden evil and bring the wicked to justice. Declare America shall be holy. Keep watch over your own lips. Let NO WORD be spoken against Me – no word of doubt or fear. Shed ALL Fear and WALK IN FAITH that America shall be – IS BEING – Saved.

“Third, keep your eyes on Me in Faith for the future. Do not sink in the mire of present circumstances. Stand on the firm footing of My Promise. Your enemy shrieks and schemes – no matter. He is a defeated foe. Those who follow him are already defeated. With little left to do, and in great fear, they cry, ‘Democracy, democracy!’ while every action they take is against the America I created.

“Tearing down to rebuild is messy. Uncomfortable. There are prices to pay amid the process – inconvenience and dust and upheaval. Yet you choose to do so for your own home. Why? Because your eyes are set on the future, the finished product. Can you not position yourself in My Army as you would for your own house? I AM the Master Builder. I know ALL. I tear down to the studs what you would leave in your ignorance, unaware of the rot in the very foundation. America has stood on rot long enough. I SAVE America to be My Nation under God – and I WILL EXPOSE ALL ROT. Praise Me for My work, My Leadership and Foresight – and stop speaking against the dust I create along the way. Set your mouths FOR Me, not against Me.

“My People, if you refuse to Trust Me in where I AM taking America, you will drown in the dust of My rebuilding. You will become more and more embittered against Me. You MUST keep your eyes on Me and Praise Me through this process. Your mouth will either Praise Me or curse Me. Choose your side wisely. Choose Me. Ask Me for Revelation in what I AM doing. Do not rely on your own understanding, which is likely tainted by lies of the media and uninformed words from those around you. Come to ME for answers, nowhere else. Then LISTEN as I speak.

“The kitchen is the center of the home. America’s kitchen – the systems on which she runs, systems long rotted by corruption, is about to be rebuilt. You will either join My Army in the demolition and rebuild, or you will be greatly shaken in the process. Come to ME. Trust ME. STOP JUDGING FROM YOUR OWN PERCEPTION. Turn to Me – and remain rock solid in the process. Fight WITH Me – or fight against Me.

“Amen.”

1:19: “I was with you when you went down to the River. When did we go down to the River? you ask. When you came to Me to wash you clean from your sins. You came up out of My River of Forgiveness – redeemed and whole. Clean.

“Why did you dirty yourself again? Why do you remain unclean? My River of Redemption is always there for you. You can wash every sin in your life away at any time. My River purifies and refreshes. My River chases the devil away. My River runs for YOU.

“This fallen world would seek to coat you with sin. Coat you and coat you until you are weighed down beneath it, unable to rejoice with Me as you once did. Unable to feel the Grace of My Forgiveness. My River forever calls to you, forever flows its banks right up to your feet. You need only to step in. Let go of the call from the world. Cry out to Me for Forgiveness as you plunge into My Cleansing. My River never runs dry. My River keeps no accounting. It is freely yours as often as you need it.

“My River carries supernatural Power. Not only do its waters cleanse, they also fill the inside of you, running through your soul to cause you to Desire Me, to keep your self pure. My River is full of LIFE. Full of Joy, Hope, and EXPECTATION. My River sings and dances and PRAISES Almighty God. My River lifts you up above the wiles of your enemy. Makes you forget your enemy and seek only Me. My River sparkles and swirls, exhilarates and awes. My River HEALS. Its Waters heal body, soul, and spirit.

“WHY DO YOU REMAIN ON THE BANK? Why do you run from My River? How could you prefer the call of the broken world over the Perfection of Bubbling Waters of Life?

“I call you to My River. Come and STAY. Come and Play in its current. Come to My River of Repair and Reaping. It ever runs FOR YOU. Amen.”

This morning as I sat with the Lord, He spoke this word to His people:

“There is a story I am writing for you. The story of your LIFE. I Am the AUTHOR and FINISHER of YOU. I AM the Great I AM. Know that I see you. Know that I hear you. I see your struggles. I Am with you in your struggles. I Am with you in your happy times. I AM WITH YOU, My People. Do not go into hiding from Me in your difficult times. Your enemy would love to isolate you – both from Me and those who would pray for you. Do NOT give him the pleasure of succeeding. When you are struggling, you NEED the prayers of those around you. Do not fall into shame. Do not fall into the lie that says ‘nobody will understand.’ I work through My People. Yes, I speak directly to you and nurture you. I also work through My People. I rely on their prayers for you and their care for you.

“I want you to think of it this way: if someone you love is particularly struggling, wouldn’t you want to know? Wouldn’t you feel bad in only hearing later, knowing that you would have helped and prayed for them? In the same way, I call on YOU to not deny those who love you the chance to serve you when you need it. Pride often gets in the way of this. FORSAKE PRIDE. It is a sharp weapon of your enemy.

“In the detailing of your life I allow you to go through difficult times. In My Hand, such times are always to teach you, deepen your faith, and perhaps to prepare you for what is to come. But I never require you to go through such times completely alone. I Am always by your side. Call on Me to strengthen you and guide you. To teach you what I long for you to know. And go to those who love you and can serve you well, in league with Me. Difficult times do not need to be only difficult. I have great blessings for you in the midst of them. Use ALL of My Gifts to you during such times. I can bring you through hard seasons with such blessings that when you look back on them you will remember the blessings more than the difficulty. Such is My Way with My People. Lean INTO Me, never away from Me. Lean into those I have placed in your life to help you. This is not a suggestion, My People. It is a commandment from Me, who Loves you. Do not forsake or disregard My Gifts for you.

“Have you heard this message enough? Must I say it yet again? DO NOT FORSAKE ALL MY GIFTS TO YOU IN DIFFICULT TIMES. I Am ever with you and Love you. Amen.”

Notes:

Hebrews 12:1-2: Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Psalm 23:1-4:  The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

II Corinthians 1:3-5: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 

Psalm 119:50: This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.

Psalm 119:71: It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.

Proverbs 29:23: Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.

James 1:17: Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

As I read again the words God has given us on the 22nd of each month, this message from December 2024 stood out to me. It came at 12:15 a.m.:

“Where is the Grace? Where is the Grace I promised America? Where is the falling of My Spirit? ‘Why do you wait so long?’ people ask. ‘We need you NOW.’

“My Grace is always with you. My Spirit is always with you. What are you doing with them? Do not forget your present in looking to the future. Do not sit back awaiting Pentecost in your dead church – and meanwhile do nothing to stave the deadness.

“BE My Pentecost.

“Yes, My Spirit comes. My Glory comes in new measure. Yes, I will work wonders in your midst. That does not mean I’m doing nothing now. I’m preparing hearts to receive when My Spirit comes. I’m spreading a hunger for Me, a desire to pursue Me like never before. I need YOU, My People, to speak of what is to come. To teach that this is the DAY of My Glory. To spread Love and Joy, words of My Peace and healing. The promise of a glorious future is Glory, indeed. Pray for it, anticipate with longing. Look ahead – and WORK NOW. There is always work to be done. The promise of the future must not cause mere rest in the present. Fight in the spirit now. Stand against evil, rise up against Satan. STOP COMPLAINING and GET TO WORK. PRAISE Me. Lean into Me. Strengthen yourself in My Word. Learn how to hear Me – in all the different ways I speak. ASK Me to guide you – then LISTEN for the answer. Go after My Harvest. Speak of Me to them with Love. Forgive others and hold no offense – give it no shelter in your soul. Prepare yourself in such ways – and you will be ready to receive all the Glory I pour out on you. I do not choose to release more Glory and Blessing upon you than you can carry with honor toward Me. Profaning My Glory is costly.

“Pray to Me night and day to pour My Spirit out upon your family, your church, your state, your nation. My promise will come forth. Lives will be radically changed. YOUR life can be radically changed NOW – through your obedience to Me. Many have called out to Me these past years of hardship – and have been greatly blessed by My Spirit and favor. Be one of these. I have much to give you now. In the waiting – I never wait. I AM never still. If you only knew HOW MUCH I hold back from you because you are not prepared to carry and steward it well. BE My Glory by spreading it NOW. Look to the future, Serve in the present.

“All Glory and Honor to the King who sits on the throne, to the Lion of Judah who comes in Victory and Power. Amen.”

Notes:

I was intrigued by God’s use of “stave”–not a typical verb. I’d heard the phrase “stave off,” but that’s not what the Lord said, and its meaning wouldn’t fit His context. I looked up the definition of “stave” and found that as a verb it can mean “burst open or force a hole into something.” That certainly fits here.

Ezekiel 36:26-27: Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

Philippians 2:13: For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Acts 1:12-14, 2:1-4: Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem…When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying…These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer…When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

Psalm 84:11: For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Romans 9:23-24: And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.
