Sunday morning, 2/3/19, I had this nagging sense that something was wrong, and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it—even whether it was related to something in the natural or the spirit.  I began to talk to my family to try to figure it out, and it turned out that both my wife and stepdaughter were having a similar sense.  We began to discuss, and rule out, what we felt it was in relation to.  It wasn’t the strange car parked near our house, it wasn’t something about going to church that morning, and while it didn’t feel like it was an earthquake coming, we went out and bought a few things just in case.  We weren’t really sure what it was, but we decided to skip the movie we were going to see in theater (we had bought tickets the night before) and skip our gym workouts spend time in prayerful discussion to discern the nature of the problem.

After posting on FB to crowd-source, and having a large number of people respond that they had been having a similar sense from God and/or a general feeling of things being strangely off somehow in the past day or so, we began to recognize this wasn’t just something in our house, but nationwide, and some reports were coming in from people around the globe.  All of this was too coincidental and simultaneously widespread for it to actually be a coincidence.  God was trying to tell us something.  I immediately began to fast, and we continued to seek God. After more prayer and fasting, and connecting with others in the Body who are hearing and sensing similar things, I have narrowed it down to four main areas I believe God is highlighting right now and wants us to pray into.

1) The Superbowl and Sex Trafficking

The Superbowl is the number one day a year for sex trafficking.  I do believe that is part of what I was sensing the other day, and many others had the same revelation, and we have prayed into that.  While the Superbowl is over, Sex Trafficking is still a major issue.  The US has had some big breakthroughs and busted a number of trafficking rings in the past year, but we need to continue to pray for the hidden things to come to light, and the captives to very literally be set free from this abominable practice.  Furthermore, some of this gets into some really high-level spiritual stuff dealing with ritual human sacrifices, sex rituals, and the goal of the enemy to regain spiritual power to control the destiny of the United States.  We need to pray the power of iniquity is broken over this nation.  (for more information/education on the how and why of satanic rituals, go here)

2) The Safety and Effectiveness of the President

The Lord spoke to me the night before last and told me to fast until Tuesday evening (this evening), and as I was pondering this I realized that the State of the Union address occurs this evening.  I believe part of what is going on is that God has plans for what He wants this President to accomplish, and the powers of darkness are working overtime to prevent the POTUS from doing what God has ordained for him to do.  Regardless of whether Trump is consciously aware of the will of God for his presidency, God has plans that He wants to come to pass, and we need to pray for wisdom and divine guidance, physical and spiritual protection, and for favor and open doors for everything God wants to accomplish through the President and his policies and actions.

3) For The Release of the Heavenly Host and the Binding of Demonic Spirits

One of the significant things the Lord revealed to us on Sunday, 2/3/19, was from an unexpected source, the movie Monsters, Inc.  Frequent readers of my blog know that I do not like Disney due to its ties to ritual abuse and the Illuminati agenda, as well as its ongoing subliminal messaging throughout their shows and movies (for more info, read A Sinister Undercurrent in Disney), and if you look at some of the messages behind this movie, it only further shows why.  Nevertheless, this is what God was showing us.  In the movie, the plot involves the main characters using doors to travel supernaturally around the world, basically the equivalent of heavenly portals.  They are monsters whose job is to scare children and collect the fear they release to use as a power source.  This is actually very similar to what is actually done in the natural, using children and their emotions and spirituality as a power source for the demonic through rituals.  2319 is a special emergency code which means that things have transferred back through the portals.  Disney actually posted a “beware” warning image on February 3rd in correlation with their in-movie code.  You literally can’t make this stuff up.  The warning we were sensing in the spirit lined up with a prophetic warning from a movie about monsters traveling through portals to release fear on children.

What does this mean?  God is showing us that the enemy is attempting to release a new series of demonic powers through portals in the heavenlies to release a new measure of fear into the earth, and to bring domination and control over its inhabitants.  As the sons and daughters of God it is our job to rise up and oppose this demonic infiltration through prayer, and pray for the demonic to be bound on earth and in heaven, and for God to release the Heavenly Host to oppose what the enemy is trying to bring into the earth.  Isaiah 59:19 says, “When the enemy comes in, like a flood The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”  We need to pray for a flood of the Spirit and the angelic host to overpower everything in the demonic realms.

4) For All Decisions Made by the President, Congress, and Supreme Court

We need to pray that all decisions made by our governmental leaders not just at the Federal level, but at the State, and Local levels are righteous decisions.  We must pray for righteous leaders to be raised up in all of these levels of government.  As mentioned in the first prayer point about trafficking and rituals, there is a lot going on behind the scenes, and the demonic realms have lost a lot of their ritual power that they must regain in order to accomplish their evil work.  This is why we are seeing abortion laws being frantically passed to provide even more blood sacrifices to fuel the enemy’s plans and in preparation for the new Supreme Court Justice once Ginsberg passes away.  I believe there are numerous factors behind why the demonic realms have lost some of their power in this season, but the biggest reason is the prayers of the saints.  As we continue to pray for God to manifest His will and His ways in our government, and for righteous leaders to be raised up for this nation at the federal, state, and local levels, we have the potential to see a revival in our governmental system.  However, whether this does or does not occur in the near future will have far-reaching influence on this nation.

Through a conversation with Lisa Perna, founder of Touched By Prayer, where she shared some revelation the Lord gave her about measures, the Lord showed me that we are in a window of time right now where we are being weighed and measured as a nation to see if we will, collectively, choose righteousness or wickedness in the coming years, and what direction this nation will head.  There is a lot more to this than what I have just shared, but it will need to be unpacked in a bit of detail, which I will do below.

In the book of Ezekiel, chapters 40-42 are a detailed explanation of the prophet watching a man measure the Temple, temple courts, altar, and just about every other aspects of the architecture one can think of.  Right after he finishes measuring everything the glory of God enters the temple.  The chapters directly after the measuring record the restoration of three things:  the restoration of the Glory (ch. 43), the restoration of the Priesthood (ch. 44) and the restoration of the Nation (ch. 45).  Now, this is a significant pattern of what God is doing right now, but we need to skip to Revelation 11:1 before we continue exploring this.  Revelation 11:1 says, “I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, ‘Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers.'”  The same pattern, or rather we should look at it as an opportunity for a pattern, is set out again in Revelation 11:1, but the results are somewhat different, involving not the restoration of all things, but the destruction of many things instead.

From a prophetic perspective, as I began to study this issue of measuring last night, I was quite shocked to come across Revelation 11:1.  The Lord has been highlighting the number 111 to me for the past few months, and in spite of looking up all of the Bible verses potentially related, I had not yet received the revelation on what it signifies.  I believe I now understand.  God was setting up a prophetic confirmation to clarify what He is speaking right now about the nation being measured, and the fate of the United States being in the balance in the spirit.

This issue of measuring and weighing is found multiple places in scripture.  We see it in Ezekiel 40-42 and Revelation 11, but it is in multiple other places in scripture as well.  Daniel 8:23 speaks of when transgressions and/or transgressors have reached their fullness.  Ephesians 1:10 speaks of how times have reached their fullness.  We see this same concept again in Exodus 2:23-25, although in different verbiage, where after a certain measure of time God intervened.  This passage was actually alluded to in Genesis 15:13-16, with verse 16 saying, “In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”  There is something about certain things reaching the fullness of time in the spirit that causes things to shift and change.  This related to the concept of sowing and reaping in Galatians 6:7.  If we sow good things, we will reap them, and what is being measured is what we are sowing to see how we will reap.  We see this in Revelation 5:8 and 8:3-5 where the prayers of the saints are collected in golden bowls, and when the bowls have been filled, they get combined with fire from the altar of God and are thrown back down to earth to cause massive changes.

While I don’t tend to pay a lot of attention to the Hebrew Calendar, today, February 4th at sundown into February 5th is Rosh Chodesh Adar, the first day of the last month of the Hebrew religious year.  In other words, we are ending a one-year Hebrew cycle of 5778 and entering year 5779 (the religious calendar).  Adar is the last month the Israelites spent in Egypt, and it is also the precursor to Passover, when God released His spirit in what can be considered the “first revival”.  February 5th is also the day the POTUS will be delivering the State of the Union address, and I believe this convergence has prophetic significance.

What God is revealing right now is that the United States is in a position of being weighed in the balance.  We are in a window of time right now where righteousness can prevail again in this nation, but it depends not just on the various legislations that our lawmakers pass, but on our prayers.  If anything, it depends even *more* on our prayers, as they will help decide what laws are rejected, passed, or overturned in this pivotal period.  Our prayers will have a significant influence on what direction this nation proceeds, and due to our level of international interconnectedness, what happens to the US impacts the world.

As I shared earlier, Ezekiel 40-45 show us a pattern in scripture.  After we are measured, and depending on what is found, it lays the groundwork for the restoration of the Glory (which we usually think of as revival), the restoration of the priesthood (which is correlated with God doing a restorative work in the Body of Christ), and the restoration of the nation.  God wants to restore righteousness and justice in the United States, and now is the time.  In this season, on a governmental level, we can see legislative power returned to the People of the United States, Roe vs. Wade overturned with the addition of a righteous judge to the Supreme Court, and lawlessness as a whole removed from the land.  The enemy opposes these and the many other things God is releasing at this time, so it is imperative that we fast and pray for the will of God to be released in this nation.  Prophet Dutch Sheets posted a prophetic word in Charisma News within the past 24 hours that shares a similar perspective to what God has revealed to me at this time (I found his prophetic word after initially writing this).

While some of this prophetic message can sound depressing or fear-inducing to some, this bulletin isn’t for the purpose of sowing fear.  This is about becoming aware that the enemy has plans for destruction, but God has plans for abundant life (John 10:10).  Every time and way the enemy wants to tear down and destroy, God raises up His righteous people to destroy demonic structures and release His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.  When God wants to do something in the earth, He gives revelation to His people (Amos 3:7), which allows us to partner with Heaven to manifest His will.  We must not let ourselves get into a place of fear, but press forward in faith through fasting and intercession to call forth the will of God in this nation, and as we see the pattern in Ezekiel, when we decide through prayer how the US will be measured, we will see revival in both the Church and the world as the glory of God is released in a new measure once again!
