Dear Friends and Intercessors,
I want to remind you of our Pre-Election Prayer Call today. It begins at 10:30 AM PT and will run until 7 PM PT.
In 1786, President James A Garfield said “Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.”
I agree with him, here we stand today, with the opportunity to shift the tide in our nation. Poll after Poll shows that Christians are the least likely to vote. Friends, let that not be the case this year, or any other election in our country again, especially when the lives of our children, whether they are in the womb or headed to school, we must vote in a manner that will benefit and protect them from the liberal agendas on the docket. In many areas, their lives are at stake.
We believed the lie of the elite for too long, the Separation of Church and State was not intended by our Founding Fathers to keep the Church out of Government, it was written to keep the Government out of Church. They understood our call, our commission, was to occupy the land and keep it safe for us, and our posterity.
Jesus conveyed this in Luke 19:11-27 where He teaches the parable of the Ten Talents. In this Parable, Jesus is conveying the absolute necessity of those within His Kingdom, to occupy this kingdom until His return.
In 19:13c, He expressly states “Occupy til I come.” To occupy means “to retain our presence, manage properly the capital at our disposal, to bring forth much fruit.” Wherever we cease to occupy, the enemy will gladly step in and occupy that post. Whether it is voting or running for office, Christians must step up and take their place in this nation once again. This of course applies to education, business, media and so on. We must not neglect our duty to the nation in which we live but instead, occupy the posts available. If we don’t, the enemy will.
I spoke on this at length Friday night, expressing what is at stake, especially for our children in 2022. You can listen to this message
here.I also want to share an important dream followed by an encouraging experience:
Dream: “Blood and Ballots” Ricci Johnson-Wilson
Wednesday, November 2, 2022, I was in an extended time of intercession over the elections. The Lord brought back a dream He’d given me two years ago regarding the elections. I saw an individual in a voting booth begin to fill out their ballot. I watched as they weighed the republican, the democrat, and the independents from Presidency to City Council Members. Representatives to Senators. Justices to School Boards. I saw the person fill out the bubble next to a person who deemed themselves as “pro-choice” or “woman’s rights advocate” candidate, aka pro-abortion. The minute they did, blood began to creep up from the bubble on the ballot to their fingers and across their hands completely coating their hands in blood. As they left, the blood continued to drip from their hands.
I asked the Lord what this meant, He said any person who votes for a democrat in this day and age, has not only the blood of the pre-born upon their hands, but they have the blood of every child who survives an abortion and is left to die. Every child who is born and then killed that their body parts may be harvested--that blood is also upon their hands. And, in the case where states are establishing legislation that will allow a child to be born and then murdered without investigation, that blood will be upon their hands as well.
I believe this extends to those who refuse to vote due to personal opinions regarding a candidate. Our abstinence on this issue is a vote for the opposing candidate. We must vote, and we must vote according to Biblical Principles. It’s our responsibility, we must occupy until He returns.
“The Whirlwind of Righteousness”Ricci Johnson-Wilson
I sat before the Lord the morning of October 4, 2022, praying in the Spirit. My prayer moved from crying out to Him to warring intercession. My prayer language became intense, forceful, targeted, like a lion hunting prey.
The Lord came and took me up in a whirlwind. I saw the nation and the intercessors across the land. They were represented by lights shining across the land! I saw them pressing but something caused them concern, they had a twinge of concern, almost as though defeat was on the horizon…
The Lord strengthened their spirits, then the strengthening of their bodies followed.
Suddenly, the day of deliverance came forth! It rushed across the land like a tidal wave with shock and awe! The floods of victory came forth! The people of God were in were in Him and the enemies of God were scattered to the four corners of the earth. No two could be found together.
Then, the King of Glory entered in, and creative miracles came forth! The people of God were healed and restored. Hearts once weakened by the level of intercession they’ve carried were healed in an instant. I witnessed as backs bent forward from long hours of weeping suddenly straightened. I saw knees weary and worn from the impact of dropping to them in prayer, restored to the days of their youth. It was remarkable!
The enemies experienced the fear of God and fell to their faces! Justice came forward and executed her judgment.
Next, I saw the rebuilding of the land, there was Restoration and Justice, the Rule of Law, and all over the land, the work of rebuilding was active. We were not alone, angels were assigned to tasks men could not do. The partnership with the heavenly host was miraculous.
I saw factories returning, employment increasing, hope restored, the land appeased. We feverishly worked to restore the nation!
The economy grew, but it was different, it was not fluid, it was solid, strong, unshakable.
Inflation and recession looked like spirits and they were sidelined, they had life, but that life was waning on the sidelines as they could no longer feed off the corruption of leaders.
I saw universities left vacant. Then, suddenly, pastors entered those universities and the people followed to hear the Word of the Lord, some for the very first time. They ate and drank of the Word day and night. They were so hungry for His Truth!
Trade schools and apprenticeships exploded across the land. Construction and all things pertaining to construction and rebuilding drew them in. High schoolers signed up in trade and apprenticeships before they even graduated so they could actively participate in the rebuilding!
I saw trade and bartering return to communities.
The banking industry experienced a complete transformation, it was unrecognizable.
Integrity became not only an aspiration, but a commodity among the people! It was powerful, it was beautiful, it was a nation, whose God is the Lord!
Friends, we can be a part of this change, we must be part of this transformation through our prayers, our actions and living lives of righteousness!
The Lord returned me to my place of prayer, and I was left undone! This is what God has in store for our land! Let us, His people, pray according to His will and His desire for our nation!
I pray this encourages you!
Blessings & love,
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
