God's Strategies to Win This War for the Soul of Our Nation
Word given on July 10, 2023: The Commander-in-Chief of Heaven's armies has strategies like any wise general leading an army in war. Through the years, wars have been fought and wars have been won by those who executed strategic moves to defeat the enemy. Our God is no different. These are a few of His strategies that He is using to defeat those who are trying to destroy the world:
1. Prayer/worship gatherings
2. Opening portals and His glory being released on His people; closing evil portals
3. Truth-tellers speaking the truth boldly and fearlessly
4. Prophets proclaiming God's words (He fulfills the words of His prophets)
5. People declaring and decreeing His Word and the words of the prophets
6. Gatherings in the streets to worship and pray and preach
"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." (2 Corinthians 10:3-4)
Opening Portals – a Significant Part of God's Winning Strategy!
On June 10, 2023, Father spoke to me about what is needed for portals to be opened: "It doesn't matter how large the group is that you meet with to open a portal; what matters is the size of the love they have in their hearts for Us! The greater the love and devotion My people have toward Us, the more angels I will release to work with them to take their regions back for Us. Love conquers all! Lukewarmness does no good!"
While He was speaking, I had a vision. In this encounter, I saw the Lord put shoes on my feet – shoes to preach the Gospel and take the land back for God, like Joshua! The Lord is calling His Bride to boldly take the land back for Him with love and devoted worship!
Confirming Scriptures: "I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses." (Joshua 1:3; see also Joshua 1:1-2, 4-9).
On June 13, 2023, once again, Father spoke to me about Joshua: "Like Joshua, every place that We are sending you to go to, you will take for Us! Portals will be opened, and Our will glory will fall on all! This is just one of Our strategies to win this nation back and to rescue Our children. Restoration is coming!
"Yes, this is the hour when there will be no delay of My words to go forth and to be fulfilled. I have a company of prophets who honor Me and who speak only Our words. We will honor them and fulfill their words quickly!"
Confirming Scripture: Ezekiel 12:23-28.
Other Strategies to Bring Restoration and Victory
On June 23, 2023 I heard Father say, "There are very few who truly love Us enough to set aside their desires and wants and embrace Our will, instead of theirs. For those few who truly live for Us, We will use their sacrifice to rescue this world!
"It was the 'Father, not My will, but Thy will be done' that My Son declared that saved this world. One just, holy Man laid down a sacrifice that saved the entire world. And in this hour, it will be just a few, who live for Us and lay a perfect sacrifice before Us – united with the sacrifice of My Son – that will cause the tide of evil to turn and Our glory and goodness to be poured out on all flesh.

"By My Spirit, the remnant has been equipped to live totally for Us, with no mixture of selfishness, pride, or jealousy in their service to Us and Our people. The seeds of their lives that they sowed into Our Kingdom have gone into the earth, and this death to self will bear an abundant crop of lives lived for love of Us. A great multiplication that will produce an abundant harvest of souls is going to spring forth suddenly."
Confirming Scriptures: John 12:24-26; Luke 9:23-25; James 3:13-18.
On June 24, 2023, Father spoke a very encouraging word: "Great and glorious will My faithful children's future be – and the future of this nation, too! You will not have to do anything but trust! Yes, just place your trust in Us to accomplish through you whatsoever We have declared that We would do. And at the same time, just trust Us to turn everything around in your nation that needs a reversal. Trust is the key! We can be trusted to fulfill Our promises, even through those who are nothing in their own eyes. We love to use the lowly to confound the wise!"
On June 29, 2023, I heard Father say, "Life is filled, frequently and lately, with many opportunities to grow disheartened and discouraged. This is truly the hour for My children – like David at Ziklag – to encourage themselves in Me. If the enemy can demolish or diminish your faith, then (he thinks) he will be victorious.
"At the requests and decrees of My remnant Bride, angelic hosts have been released to Earth to guard My children's hearts, so that faith-killing discouragement won't take root in them. Not only are they standing fast against discouragement, but these hosts have been commissioned to equip My children with great faith. All the prayers they pray and the decrees they speak are cloaked with great faith. Reminders of Our great love are being released, as well as reminders of exactly who I am. There is no weakness in Us!"
Confirming Scripture: "Once more the humble will rejoice in the LORD; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. The ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down – those who with a word make someone out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice... Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction" (Isaiah 29:19-21, 24).
(Read also 1 Samuel 30 – the story of David at Ziklag.)
Restoration Is Coming! Great Days Are Ahead!
On June 5, 2023, Father revealed His plan for the world in a very powerful word to me: "We are raising up an army, and many champions to lead them, to take this nation back for Us! We've used men and women in the past to rescue and deliver Our children, and, once again, We are doing that! Truth tellers are rising up all over this world. They won't be silenced. The eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf are being opened. Enlightenment is coming in all arenas! Darkness is fleeing, and Our glory will overtake this world!
"We raised up men and women like Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., Deborah, David...and We raised up armies to work with them. That is just what you are seeing happen now! We are raising up armies to get behind Our chosen champions, and righteousness and justice will be restored. The enemy tried to keep you separated, but We are uniting Our children so they will be a force to be reckoned with! United they will stand and chase evil and wickedness from their children and their loved ones!"
On June 19, 2023, Father said, "Great days are ahead for My faithful children! Great joy, great miracles, great peace, great prosperity [and] great encounters with Us are all coming!
"Great days are also coming for those who have followed and served wickedness – great suffering and sorrow, great humiliation and exposure, great judgment – when My justice falls.
"The days ahead will be like no other. They will not be commonplace or ordinary days, but they will be extraordinary in every way. When My glory appears, nothing will remain as it was!"
Things Are Not What They Appear to Be!
On June 27, 2023, Father explained: "When wickedness fills the earth, I am bigger than it. My goodness far surpasses the depth and height of evil. Trust Us, no matter what you see or hear, for things are not as they appear. When I say, 'All will be well,' let no fear come near you – no matter what! Even if all about you looks hopeless, know that I have a wonderful plan and My will shall be done, because I have a remnant that is declaring My will to come to the earth from Heaven.

"A great shaking is coming, but it will be brief and will not destroy what is good. Only wickedness will be impacted by this shaking. As the seven mountains of influence shake and topple, have no fear, for We will restructure them on Our goodness. My glory will fill the land, and it will not share space with wickedness. There will be no compromise with evil; My goodness will stand fast and will stand alone!
"When My glory floods the earth, the masses will run from wickedness and from those who align with the evil one. And they will run like the prodigal son into My waiting arms.
"New leaders will arise in the land, both in your nation and other nations in this world. They have been handpicked by Us and have endured long seasons of training. Preparation has been made for goodness to overtake the seven mountains. Wicked leaders will be replaced by those who let Us govern their lives, and who will allow us to govern through them. This transformation will turn this world upside down.
"The enemy overplayed his hand. He attempted to release gross wickedness on the earth. The majority of people were disgusted – rightfully so – by this atrocity, and have steadfastly resisted this overthrowing of righteousness for blatant wickedness through the rule of evil."
On June 28, 2023, once again, Father spoke to me about what's going on in the world: "Many moons have gone by, and in these days the enemy has been rejoicing because he thinks he is winning. A fight has ensued for the souls of the children, and for the entire world to follow in his wicked ways.
"There is about to be a turning of the tides of evil, and the time of new moons is upon this world. Once again, the enemy has overplayed his hand. He has dealt himself a hand that he thinks no one can beat – wrong! I have already defeated him, and as he exposes his hand for all to see, he will lose the support of the masses that he duped in the past with a subtle exposé of evil. His blatancy and the overt expression of his strategy to destroy the morals of this world are causing a great turning. Yes, people, parents, and even the younger generations have had their eyes opened, and they are motivated to evacuate his camp and run into Mine, where there is safety, comfort and purity.
"The celebration that will ensue on the streets will be a reflection of the party that We are throwing in Heaven at the return of the prodigals that left righteousness and good times to follow after wickedness.
"This will not be stopped or delayed; it is already set in motion. Like a snowball that is rolling down a steep mountain gets bigger and bigger as it rolls forward, My children's decrees are gaining momentum, size, strength and power to take out every wicked thing in their path. Already you are seeing things exposed and then destroyed, but so much more is coming."
Confirming Scriptures: Isaiah 24:14-23 and Malachi 4.
A Visit to a Mountaintop in Heaven
On June 20, 2023, as I sat alone with the Lord in my time of prayer, Jesus drew me in the spirit high into the sky. Together, we flew straight up like a rocket ship. I asked Him if He was taking me to see Father, and He said that They were one, and that wherever He was, Father was there too.
We flew past the tall fruit trees high into the rainbow-colored sky. Because of my delight at the display of colors I was seeing, He declared, "Everything in My Kingdom is colorful and glorious. Expect nothing less." A flock of birds joyfully came in and encircled us, welcoming Jesus, their cherished Friend.
Suddenly, our flight was over, and we arrived at the top of a cliff on a very enormous mountain. As I looked about, I realized that I had never been here before.
My Lord explained: "Today I am taking you to a place far from all the distractions, where I can satisfy the hunger in your heart for communion with Me. The days ahead will be filled with great excitement and peace, both at the same time. A deep, abiding peace will continually fill you, no matter what the circumstances about you are. This is the place we will be visiting, when you enter deep within to meet with Me – a special place in Our Kingdom where few come and where no one will disturb us." (Photo via Pxfuel)
I looked with eyes of faith and saw a large, shiny, black rock that was made into the shape of a very comfortable seat for two. Though this onyx-like rock was not made of soft materials, it was soft and comfortable.
The Lord declared, "There are going to be many changes coming to your world. The wicked will be chastened by Our hand. The righteous will be blessed and rewarded publicly for standing fast in devotion to Us."
On June 21, 2023, my Lord continued our visit on this mountain, far away from all distractions: "As I told Jeremiah what was coming – the judgment that was coming through King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon – I say the same to you. Tell My people that their injustice will be met with My swift justice and judgment (see Jeremiah 34).
"All they got through their wickedness will be quickly and totally taken from them: their wealth, their places of influence, their following, this stature... When they are stripped naked, their shame will cause many of them to turn to Us in repentance. Unlike Nebuchadnezzar, I will take their wealth and distribute it to those the wicked victimized. Though I could, I will not keep it for Myself; it will be given to the poor, needy and oppressed. Because I am just and I am good, I will transform the lives of those who have endured much suffering at the hands of these wicked ones.
"What I am telling you, I will do, and I will do it soon and I will do it swiftly. Justice has been sought and cried out for. Now is the hour for the cries of My children to be answered with My response.
"The wicked are going to suffer. With no regret, they caused the innocent to suffer. Now they will reap what they've sown."
On June 22, 2023, Father explained, "Things are going to turn around suddenly! Though the initial shake up will be upsetting, there will be great rejoicing when the changes are implemented.
"More and more of My children are turning back to Me, and there are many who never knew Me that are coming into My Kingdom. All their collective prayers are making it possible for this rescue event to be launched from Heaven. In the days ahead, the atmosphere of Heaven will infiltrate the earth. Love, unity, Our glory, peace, joy, hope, prosperity, great faith, health and so much more will be manifesting here. Where there once was great oppression, there will be freedom and a great time of rejoicing."
An Invitation and Instructions for Intimacy with God
On June 1, 2023, while in my prayer time, Father gave me a word of instruction for His children: "Teach Our children to go deeper in the spirit, and not to stay in the outer court...We reside in the throne room, in the most holy place – deep within the spirit of Our children. Many are content to visit from a distance, not knowing what they are missing. To go deeper, it requires a stillness of one's soul, and to focus, without distraction, on Our presence.
"Just like Our Priest, when they enter the temple to minister before My presence, My children must first enter by the outer court with confession and praise and keep advancing forward, until, through devoted worship, they go through the inner court to the most holy place. There is where I reveal My secrets and impart My gifts. All My children need is found deep in the most holy place where intimate fellowship will happen.
"It is a step-by-step progression out of the natural realm [and] into the depths of the spirit realm deep inside. Tell My children all are invited to come and sit with Us. My Son tore the veil and made the way for deep communion that changes lives."
On June 2, 2023, Father continued to talk to me about practicing the presence of God. To His faithful remnant, He said, "When you come into the most holy place in the inner court, those about you can partake of the increased glory that you are encountering. Come often – not just in your prayer times, but all the time: when you are ministering, shopping, visiting, out to eat... Come, wherever you go, and those you meet will feel the glory. Just as Peter, James and John's shadows healed those in the marketplace when they walked by, let your shadow do the same as you carry Our glory that you are encountering in the most holy place. The veil was torn so all may come. As you come, bring them in too!"
