Dear Friends,

Today, I was in prayer in the wee hours of the morning today… and I saw the Angel of the Lord bringing a flaming sword down upon the coliseum, and it split in two.

Early February 7th, the Lord spoke very clearly as I arose that morning, “judgment is coming to the coliseum”. I have shared this in my writings as well as on our corporate calls since then.

This is that judgment.

What is the coliseum? For those who did not see or hear that word, God sees DC like a Roman Coliseum. Why? Because of their blatant, horrific, public persecution of the innocent.

God likens the democrats and the rinos (republican in name only) positioned in DC to Roman dictators sitting in their lofty seats, high above the crowd ordering devastating persecution upon the righteous.

Scripture and history record the brutality of the first century Romans. They took great pleasure in torturing the early Church, the children, and the unborn (as they were ripped from their mother’s wombs and murdered). Countless members of the early church and those considered “sympathizers” were publicly shamed, persecuted, ripped apart by hungry lions, gladiators, and various acts of brutality to silence the current and future voice of the righteous.

Yes, the democrats who sit in congress are waging an all-out assault on the righteous, to silence the righteous! To silence us. To silence you.

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 5, deceitfully entitled “Equality Act,” on February 25, 2021 sending it to the Senate. If passed in the Senate, H.R.5 will silence the Church and all conservatives who oppose abortion, the LGTBQI+ agenda (including gender transitioning of minors). It will guarantee medical professionals who decline to perform abortions or gender reassignment procedures based on their faith, be required to comply, or face massive discrimination lawsuits and even lose their license. It will force educators to teach severe unbiblical principles to our children or be removed from the classroom. And it will bring about a bloodbath in terms of abortion-even more than we have seen since January 20th.

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Friends, the blood of the innocent is crying out for justice! Further explaining why, the Lord spoke so clearly to Nita, that we needed to press in on the issues of human trafficking and abortion. I know they are difficult issues to cover, but our intercessions on these issues is birthing something… the judgment of God!

Why? The judgment that God is bringing forth is the result of the intercession of the saints. It is the mercy of God that hears the cries of His people and responds with a holy, righteous action!

I’ve been steeped in the books of Amos and Isaiah this week; these two prophets poured out the Word of the Lord to warn, equip, and prepare the nation of Israel.

We know that God does nothing without revealing it to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). His Word still stands true today, and in the midst of judgment, the Lord of hosts shall be exalted and sanctified in righteousness!

Isaiah 5: 15-16 “And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.”

The Lord has shown Nita, Sayo, and me severe judgments enacted on DC. The truth is, while it may seem severe to us, God, in His mercy and forbearance, stayed His hand of judgment desiring repentance from those who violate His righteous. However, to answer the cry of the intercessor for the healing of the nation, He cannot wait any longer. He must do this to set America free from the bloodletting brought about in the coliseum!

As intercessors, let us continue to cry out to God on these issues (abortion, human trafficking, and the Equality Act HR-5) and He will answer those cries! This is the moment He has been waiting for, when it looks as though the promises of the Lord will not be fulfilled, God comes forth with His mighty hand we have an unmistakable Red Sea Moment!

For a moment, let us consider a New Testament passage that demonstrates the process of our Lord:

John 11:32-44 (KJV) Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

This passage demonstrates the mercy and compassion of Jesus on humanity. It also reveals the Great Intercessor we learn so much about throughout the book of John. And it demonstrates the righteous Godhood of Jesus as He, with the power and authority of the King of kings and Lord of lords, raises Lazarus from the dead!

The darkness of death, prayed through, bringing forth His marvelous Light in the earth!

What makes the fourth day so significant in the raising of Lazarus? The Hebrews believed God allowed the spirit of the person who died to remain for up to three days to comfort the family. They may not see the individual, but in the night, or the darkest moments of their grief, they would be comforted. However, after the third day, the loved one moved on. There would be no hope in their hearts of a miracle from Jesus.

So, for Jesus to come and heal Lazarus while he was sick, would have been a wonderful miracle from a compassionate Lord. To bring him back to life within the first 72 hours would have been an incredible miracle from the Great Intercessor! However, to do so after the third day…this demonstrated His righteous Godhood!

When things appear to be a complete loss, the “darkness before the dawn”, this is when God moves and shows forth the fulfillment of His marvelous promises to His people. And, as Isaiah teaches us, God will be exalted in judgment! He is ready, the intercessions are going forth! In His mercy, He will bring judgment upon the coliseum and with the authority of His Godhood, He will cry with a loud voice: “America, come forth!”

Oh, dear friends, let us not grow weary but instead, press in, press in, we are almost there! Look to the moment in which glory and power of the Lord God Almighty is revealed in the earth!

America will come forth!

Blessings & love,
