Dear Friends, Prayer Vigil for America: we want to invite you to continue to join our four-week prayer vigil for the Nation. This is directed by the Lord for this season of time to thwart the plans of the enemy for our nation. We understand that this is an intensive season, but God will give us the grace to endure. We cannot move forward in fear, but rather, faith that God will answer our prayers! Why and how do we pray? We have 78 days until the election. This must be 78 days of faithful prayer. We will be repenting over the prayer points listed below in our corporate prayer calls followed by declarative warfare. We encourage you to join us and include prayer over each element of the 2020 election in your personal prayer time—from the school board to the presidency. Every seat is important. 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Identificational repentance is the key to us witnessing the fulfillment of 2 Chronicles 7:14. If you are unfamiliar with this type of intercession, there is no better time than now to learn. What will our new schedule look like?Every Thursday and Friday for the next three weeks, we will extend our prayer time repenting and praying over the issues listed on pages 148-152 of Nita Johnson’s book “Prepare for the Winds of Change ll.” These are open doors for the enemy. Remember, the enemy has a storm planned to create chaos, we are moving into the offensive to thwart that chaos. I encourage you to use this list in your personal prayer time as well. Targets for Prayer Through November (Taken from Nita’s book, Prepare for the Winds of Change II, pages 148-152 from the chapter: “Why Judgment?”) - Despising God’s Law/lawlessness
- Slavery of Human Trafficking
- Abortion
- Greed
- Unjust judicial system (throughout the nation)
- Abominable sexual practices
- Persecution of saints
- Idolatry
- Forsaking the needy
- Murder
- Prosperous Ease
- Downfall of the Catholic Church

Embrace the Shaking of 2020
Part 9With Ricci WilsonIn this period of time, God is shaking the nations. He wants us to view this season with a laser-like focus, determined to see His will accomplished, dedicated to the process, and submitted to Him in the midst of it all. When we are focused on His eyes, His vision, His plans, His purposes, we can embrace the shaking with the excitement of one who is giving LIFE! Just like a woman in the last stage of labor: it is that determined, focused, fully-equipped place of a woman who has been properly prepared to bring forth that precious gift of the LIFE God has given her! It is time for His people to come into the excitement of what He is about to birth in the earth! We must engage with Him in this hour and be an active part of the birthing process! Those who do, will ultimately become the ones who, when you will look in their eyes, they will say with absolute certainty, “I can do this ten more times!”
Friends, I am trying to prepare you so that you are equipped! It is time to not only raise a standard of righteousness in our land, but to BE THE STANDARD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in our land!
He longs to deposit the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven within us! I can tell you, the things He is depositing in me during this season, as difficult as it’s been to walk through the shaking, I would do this ten more times! Of course, I would not want to see the nations go through what we’ve been through this year, but God is waking people up! The divide between good and evil is being clearly drawn and it’s time the people make a choice: On which side will you reside?
For those who press in, He is going to release the mysteries of His Kingdom! You will want ten times that. You’ll want to pass through the thirty-fold, the sixty-fold, and enter the hundred-fold that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 13! Those who receive the hundred-fold, they are in the Holy of Holies because they endured the shaking, pressed through the storms, and more than that, they turned INTO the storm to find God like Moses did on Mount Sinai!
These mysteries are not unknowable, rather, they are an illumination of Him! In Ephesians 1:15-21 Paul prays for the Ephesians to receive revelation in the knowledge of Christ, that the eyes of their understanding be enlightened. Why? That they may know the hope of His calling! Why? So they may know the deep revelation of His power working in and through their lives. They endured persecution. Paul endured persecution for preaching the Gospel while he was there, but in the midst of the persecution, the shaking, remember Paul and those who travelled with him were turning the world upside down! And because they were pressing into God in the midst of the shaking, God brought forth the divine revelation of His mysteries to the children of God!
What do the mysteries bring? An illumination of who God is in your life, He illuminates your Spirit-man to who He is, He awakens you to experience Him while you are going through the struggles. Remember, they cannot be obtained by natural means, they are reserved for the elect, those chosen by God, to come up out of the world and up to God. The mysteries can only be obtained by divine revelation; it is the truth of God revealed to those perfected in Christ, who have what? The mind of Christ.
I get up very early, when everything is very dark, and I just keep things very quiet because I just want to spend that time with the Lord. On January 7, 2020, two weeks before giving this message, I was sitting there before Him and I said, “Lord, it is a beautiful thing that you chose to illuminate the mysteries of who You are to Your people.” I was meditating on the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven and I had a vision of a narrow, dirt pathway on top of a mountain. The pathway was lined with rocks and it was not easy to navigate but the pathway led up to an ancient door. It was one of those very heavy, arched doors with a keyhole shaped like an antique key. Light was streaming from the keyhole. I asked the Lord what was behind the door. Suddenly I noticed there was a key in my hand; it was soaked in the blood of our Savior. I very timidly reached out to unlock the door. I began to pull the door open and the Light that shone behind this door was the most glorious light I’d ever seen. He spoke to me: “The mysteries of Who I Am, the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven have been bought with the blood of My Son. They have been given to each person with a key. A key has been given to each person who chooses to go on this path.”
Friends, He paid the price that we might have access to the deepest, most precious mysteries of His Kingdom, yet few move past the door of salvation, let alone up the narrow pathway to His mysteries. We pray for the seven Spirits of God, they are behind that door. The Spirit of Wisdom, Knowledge, the Spirit of Might, Revelation, Understanding. They all are behind that door and they await those who embrace the shaking and allow Him to remove all that can be shaken. Why? It is only then that we become a force to be reckoned with!
It is time for us to really grow up in God. Why? Because when the harvest comes, the mature Sons of God that we’ve spoken so much about, the new breed of believers, they will be among those who will be found in the hundred-fold, the Holy of Holies. It is time for us to really grow up in God. We do not have to do it alone, but we do have to make a decision whether or not we will choose to embrace the shaking and move into the place that God paid the ultimate price to grant us.
Blessings & love,
Ricci Wilson
________________________________________"The Light" Part 5BWith Nita JohnsonI believe it was last week that I began to talk to you about the walks that I took in the park in Fresno, California. We really do have a beautiful park there and it is a great park to walk in because it has a path that’s about a two-hour walk, so you can get a lot of exercise. As I was walking along, to my left and ahead of me, Jesus appeared. He appeared sitting on a throne as “Light.” He looked like Himself, but instead of seeing Him as a three-dimensional body of flesh, He was Light; it was very obvious that He was completely Light. The next day I was walking in the same place and again He appeared. This time, He was sitting on the throne as “Life,” “Christ, our Life” and of course, because He always looks beautiful, He looked very beautiful, very desirable, high, noble, holy, and so on. However, this time, He was most definitely emanating His life, not human life. So, I talked to Him for a few minutes and then He left. The next day I was walking in the same place and there He was, sitting on a throne as “Jesus is Truth.” This was the third or fourth time He has come to me as Truth, and I can promise you it does not look like one might think, especially if we are looking at truth through the lens of our own experience.
Christ is Truth because nothing can contest or contend with Him. I say this often when I am trying to teach because I really want people to understand just how serious this truth is. If Jesus had truth, but He was not Truth, nowhere in the Universe except the Father’s Heaven would we see life. He called Earth into being and because He is Truth, He could do that. If He were not Truth He could not do that and He could not retain it; He could not hold it, suspended in air, so to speak, if He were not Truth.
This is also true if He and the Father were not holy. These parts of His nature and character are academic to His ability to create. So you can go out into your backyard and look at your beautiful tree in the backyard and say to the Lord, “Because You are true, this tree can live. Thank You,” and you would be speaking the truth. It would be good for you to do that, because it would remind you every day just how powerful truth is.
I can remember back to a time years and years ago, well almost forty years ago. I have been in the ministry for forty years and this was just after I went into the ministry, when the Lord told me to go sit down at the desk and to type a message that was pure scripture and He said, “Pure scripture and I want it to be about truth.” Well that seemed overwhelming, I mean, I was pretty young in the Lord but I was excited about it so I did it. I ended up with a three-page message with every word being scripture. It was all about truth overcoming the lie. It was incredible. When I was done, He said to me, “I asked you to do that because you are going to be attacked a great deal in your ministry as being someone who is not truthful, that you do not love truth, that you do not speak truth and that you do not live for truth. I wanted you to see, through your own writing, that darkness and light can never outrun, outdo or destroy truth. Ultimately, truth will overcome and you will be vindicated, so do not worry about such things.” I kept that message for a long time, years, until someone accidentally disposed of it, but I have never forgotten the lesson He wanted me to learn, and that is what He wanted me to live for—truth.
About seven or eight years ago, He shared additional insight. Now this might be hard for some of you, but I want you to know that you can have this! I was standing in my home when suddenly He said to me, “Nita, become truth.” I dropped my hands and I said, “Lord, I cannot do that!” Well, of course I could or He would not have told me to do that, but I did not know that! He said, “You can, and you will,” and that is exactly what happens when you enter into Union with Christ, you become truth by the impartation of His nature and character.
The truth is a very important issue if you are given to lying, and some people are. They just, well, in all honesty, they like to lie; they would rather say something that is untrue than to say the truth. Even if it would be better to say the truth, they just like to lie for whatever reason, and then there are those that feel as though they have to lie to protect themselves. So, you have all kinds in the Body of Christ, but the Lord is saying, “As My children, become truth,” and as we do, we are changed, we are changed into His image (you might want to remember that).
The next day I went for another walk and right in the same place as the three times before, I saw Christ sitting on His throne, but this time, “He is Love.” I just stood there thinking about the three days before, and how each day He was magnifying one of His virtues, one of His characteristics and it was so beautiful, it was just so incredibly beautiful. Now, He is exemplifying and magnifying love, and just as the other three are so outstandingly beautiful, so is love, and we all know that Christ is looking for His children to walk in Divine love.
To be continued next week…
In Him,
Nita
