Okay. Deep breath. This is a bit of a first for me, but as my friend Dubb Alexander says, “This could be God, or it could be me. But it’s probably God.” When you are learning to disciple a nation (which is the mandate on all Believers) there is stretching and growing, practicing and learning. For over a year now I have been seeking God on behalf of our nation, asking questions like, “What in the world is going on?”, “Where are we on the end times timeline?”, and “How much worse is this going to get?” I know I am not alone in these weighty questions. You have likely asked yourself some of the same.

I find that God answers in the same way He answers questions about my personal life. I sense Him guiding me to a portion of scripture and somehow it shoots straight to the heart of the matter. When God gives me clarity over life’s biggest issues, I write it down and use meditative prayer to see it through to completion. As I’ve sought Him on national and global issues, I’ve done the same. But rather than be super public about what I discerned Him saying, I have held it in my heart and observed other seasoned prophetic voices to see if there is agreement or if I am out of my mind. In studying, listening, and waiting for confirmation, I have recently gained enough confidence to begin sharing what I am hearing with you.

So here goes!

I truly believe a time of peace is coming over America. It’s hard to believe that could be true, with the way things seem to be getting worse by the minute, but a time of peace is coming. But only for a time.

This message is to the remnant.

And here is what you need to know about Biblical remnants: remnants are always governance engaged. Remnants are like the Sons of Issachar (1 Chron. 12:32) who “understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do”. You cannot understand the times if you do not understand current world powers and government agendas. I love the term SAGE Cons. SAGE Cons are Spiritually-Aware, Governance-Engaged Conservatives. While I do not advocate having the “party spirit” that the Bible warns us against, we do have to acknowledge that the Left, by virtue of their own written platform, has removed God from their party entirely. When God is removed, there is no standard for rights endowed by the Creator.

I heard God say this to my heart for the remnant:

“The shepherds deserted the flock in the hour of need, but I am gathering the remnant from where I sent them for protection. They will gather and become a flock and increase in number. I will appoint responsible shepherds over them and they will increase in strength and not be afraid.

Strengthen the remnant!!! For they will surely create their own flocks too. They will take others with them! They will break out, they will break up the hard ground and the obstacles so others can go ahead. Your breakers have broken out of the womb, after months of darkness, being in the cave where you met their spiritual needs, and other weary travelers found them.”

God is telling us that He saw how many pastors and leaders scattered at the first sight of conflict in the nation, or stood in solidarity with evil, and millions of local flocks were spiritually abandoned. Over the last decade, God asked many of you to separate yourself from your church or ministry and go into hiding. You may not have understood it at the time, but it wasn’t a cave that was meant to break you. It was meant to shelter and preserve you, the way King David was sheltered and preserved in the Cave of Adullam. It was in the cave that King David’s devoted warriors gathered and David was strengthened to take back the Kingdom!

“Now they are breaking out! The sheep are breaking out, with shepherds—trustworthy shepherds go before them, with Me at their head. Those who were once lame will become a remnant. I will reign over the afflicted in Mount Zion. Your former dominion (what you already carried and the places you’ve leveled-up in) is before you! Why do you let agony and fear grip you? I say, birth now! Let it come forth! For now you will leave the cave and move into the city. You’ll dwell in wide open fields and you will take Babylon. You will be redeemed from the hand of your enemy.

Many have assembled against you: the machinery of government and the offices of the elites with their great followings. But they do not know My thoughts! They do not understand My purpose—that I have shined a light to expose them. I have gathered them up too—rounded them up for exposure!

Arise, Daughter of Zion, Daughter of Deborah! Arise and take your place! I will fortify you in iron and bronze. My new flock will pulverize regimes that stood against you. You will plunder Goliath and devote his unjust gain to Me, and his wealth to Me, the Lord of all the Earth.

Watch expectantly for Me, for I am the God of your salvation. I hear you. Though you dwell in darkness, I am your light. I have brought you out to the light, and you will see My righteousness. Your enemy will see My righteousness too and be covered in shame. It is a day of building your walls in safety as all your boundaries are being extended. And all those in need who doubted and persecuted you will come to you for favor, for a blessing.

Christy, America is not done yet. I still have purpose for her. Her enemies will be silenced, though not forever. The remnant will push the enemy line back as far as possible. She will rear her head again, not as a credible threat, but as the voice of shame and indignation that she is. She will use fear to control and shame to manipulate. She will be part church, part government.

But you will have years of victory over her. My Word still stands, and you must stand on My Word. It is time to come out so I can fill your net—enough to pay off debts, enough to supply and enough to invest.”

I believe God is saying we are coming into a time of victory over the new world order. But she will rear her ugly head again. In this coming moment of peace, those who remain steadfast will take MAJOR ground. God will restore the remnant so that what was once worldly gain by the enemy is turned over and used for God’s purposes throughout the earth.

If you’ve been in a cave, I believe God is saying, “You did the right thing in your cave…you searched for Me with all your heart and I have been found by you. I am so proud of you. But it’s time to come out of hiding.”

I am so encouraged by this Word! I hope you feel empowered, prospered, and protected in the days and weeks to come. I hope you’ll meditate on this and begin looking for its fulfillment. The thing about prophesy it that it is God revealing to us what His preferred and perfect will is, but that doesn’t mean it is always happens. We still have our freewill in tact. We have to use our freewill to enforce on Earth that which He has already approved in Heaven.
