“Yarash! It’s time to grab Hold of our Inheritance!”
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
February 7, 2025

The last few weeks I’ve discussed some important topics, topics that help us to understand what God is doing in our nation so we can align with His will and His ways in this season.

Remember, we are Ambassadors for His Kingdom and as such, we are called to view events and experiences through the lens of the Lord. So, as we proceed through the Trump Presidency, it will be essential for us to keep this at the forefront of our understanding.

Every issue must be borne in the spirit through prayer, acted upon in the natural, and celebrated by His intercessors as we rejoice in His Divine intervention, and we pray according to His will.

It’s important that we recognize when God is bringing the things we’ve prayed over into fruition as that honors the God we serve.

The intercessors are an integral part of what is taking place here. Chuck Smith, the founder of Calvary Chapel, said of the intercessor, “I don’t know if there will be lines in heaven to get our just rewards, I hope not, but if by chance there are, when you think about those who will be in the front of the line, it’ll be those who have never been on the platform, but they’ve been faithful in the ministry God called them to...it’ll be those precious intercessors who kept the Church and the work of the Lord covered in constant prayer.”

It's prayer that has birthed the things we are witnessing today.

Since the inauguration, I’ve watched the speed with which these events are occurring on behalf of the nation unfold with great amazement. God is moving quickly to heal and restore the land. It seems impossible for so much corruption to be exposed and ripped out so quickly. But God!

The uprooting of deceptive gender ideology through returning the nation to a Biblical standard of two genders, the banning of indoctrination in our schools, banning life-altering transgender surgeries in minors, and the restoration of women to have the integrity of their sport protected and honored by banning biological men from competing in women’s sports are things we’ve talked about and prayed over for the last several years.

Add to that the removal of the United States from the World Health Organization, the United Nations, the Paris Climate Agreement, all of which are NWO organizations, again, things we’ve prayed over.

Closing the border, the 25% increase in applicants seeking to join our military, and the shutting down of U.S. Agency for International Development or “USAID” (which is not an aid agency, through the Dirty Tricks Doctrine, it’s been used to initiate and implement coups all over the world, propagandize the people of the world, even funding the Build Back Better plan, and so much more). With the shutting down of USAID, I believe the first ball that weighted down the American Flag carried by the Eagle in the vision I shared so long ago is about to fall! That ball is the media!

Thursday morning as I listened to President Trump’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, I was so touched as President Trump shared about honoring Billy Graham with a statue as part of the National Garden of American Heroes. The goal is to unveil this garden of American Heroes for America’s 250th Birthday next year. He also honored Graham’s son Franklin for all the work they do with disaster relief as well. Even more importantly though, was his gratitude toward the Lord for saving his life and his call to return our nation back to God.

I felt undone to be honest. Why is all of this so important?

These items represent a restoration of integrity in our nation. The First Settlers were called to a path of integrity as they crossed the ocean in the 1600s. These are the same principles that our Founding Fathers envisioned as they carefully crafted our U.S. Constitution. The purpose was to protect and preserve the integrity of our nation for the work of the Lord for generations to come.

A nation that honors God is the only one that can truly stand, and I believe the only reason we have the longest living Constitution in the world in spite of the fact that we are on the younger side, is because of God’s call upon this land to be a nation from which the Gospel would pour out unto all the earth. It was under the inspiration of the Lord that it was written with the original, in gold, kept in heaven.

Understanding what God says about what’s occurring and making the necessary adjustments to bind up or birth according to His heavenly will.

Let me explain further…

I was in the thick of my thoughts and Darrell texted me and said, “I remember in your vision of the Lord’s hands a blur in restoring the nation.” This is in reference to the vision the Lord gave me of the soul of the nation on an operating table after having been in a catastrophic accident, the Lord was working feverishly over the nation to save it. So quickly, in fact, His hands were a blur.

As soon as I read that text, I had a vision of a dream I had sometime in the last four years, one in which I had completely forgotten. The Lord does this to me as a witness to the timing of His Word to me.

An example: when I was a child, I went to Camp with our Church. My friends and I were sitting at a lunch table and a dream I had nearly two years earlier came rushing back to me. I reached out and grabbed my friend’s hand to draw his attention and shared the following dream: I dreamt I was sitting at a lunch table with him and two other friends. Suddenly this particular friend started to stand up, put his hands on the windowsill to pull himself up to sit on the edge of it. There wasn’t a screen there and he fell through, landing headfirst on a tree root where he died. His face went white as I shared the dream. He told me he was about to climb up and sit on the windowsill when I grabbed his hand. We looked through the window and there, two floors down, was the tree root he would have hit, just as I saw in the dream.

That’s the witness I am talking about. I remember sharing with Mom that I wish the Lord would keep the dreams at the forefront rather than have them go into the recess of my brain and she told me that the Spirit does this as a witness of His Word in the moment.

The Octopus of Corruption:

Back to today, the vision of the dream the Lord gave me as I responded to Darrell’s text: I had a vision of a dream I had in the last four years: I saw President Trump towering over Washington DC, he reached his right hand down, grabbled hold of a black octopus with more tentacles than I could count, and ripped it right out of the nation. Those tentacles stretched across the land, under the sea, and into every nation in the world. They ripped up land and displaced even the seabed as they were pulled out. The Lord appeared and struck the octopus with a lightening rod, the tentacles were completely fried, the octopus screamed and then died, its body shriveling up and hardening like onyx stone. The tentacles were so fried they turned to ash. The people then came out of the woodwork and began repairing, rebuilding, and restoring the land.

Coupling the events of the past two-three weeks, the visions the Lord has given, the blur of the Lord’s hands as He worked to save the nation, and the ripping of the Octopus of Corruption, we can see this entire season is being driven by the Lord to heal the soul of our nation, to deal with the corruption, and ultimately bring restoration to the nation.

This week I was praying over the nation, and reading through the Scriptures, I was particularly led to read Exodus and Joshua. The Lord was clear as I read: make sure you take the land.

Let’s turn to Exodus 5:20-23

This occurs after Moses went to Pharoah and demanded him to let the people go… Pharoah’s response was to withhold the straw from the enslaved Israelites and yet, he required the same volume of work to be done.

The Bible says the Hebrew children went to Moses and Aaron:

“20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: 21 and they said unto them, The Lord look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. 22 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me? 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.”

Exodus 6:1

“Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land”

The Hebrew for “drive’ is "garash" and it primarily means to drive out or expel. It is used in various contexts, including the expulsion of people from a land, the casting out of demons, or the act of divorce. The term conveys a forceful removal or separation, often with a sense of urgency or necessity.

In ancient Israelite society, the concept of expulsion or driving out was significant both in legal and spiritual contexts. The Israelites were commanded to drive out the inhabitants of Canaan to avoid idolatry and maintain purity of worship (Numbers 33:52). The act of driving out also had spiritual implications, as seen in the expulsion of evil spirits, symbolizing the triumph of God's holiness over impurity.

In Exodus, Moses was told that Pharoah would “garash” or drive them out of the land!

Let’s move forward to Joshua 1:10-11

“10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it.”

The Hebrew word for possess is “yarash”.

Yarash primarily means to inherit or take possession of something. It is often used in the context of the Israelites taking possession of the Promised Land, as well as in legal and familial contexts regarding inheritance. The term can also imply the act of dispossessing others to take possession, highlighting the transition of ownership or control.

Yarash in Joshua 1 was both a physical and spiritual undertaking symbolizing the Israelite’s relationship with God and their obedience to His commands. In other words, this is legally binding, but it requires action on the part of the covenant holders!

If we look at what took place with the Hebrew children in Egypt, God hardened Pharoah’s heart to such a degree that he drove them, cast them, thrust them from his nation. In fact, his heart, so hardened and driven by God, led to his own demise and the downfall of Egypt.

How so?
  • Their economy was thrust into chaos because the people who they enslaved to build their cities, do their wash, carry their water, harvest their crops and so on were literally cast out of the nation.
  • The plagues had destroyed much of their cattle, their crops, even the fish were dead. Now, their labor force was gone. That is an economic crash.
  • Their mighty military force was left at the bottom of the Red Sea; who would defend Egypt if they were attacked?
I believe the cabal are being driven by God on the same path! They run that Octopus of Corruption, but their hearts have been so driven by God to get rid of Donald J. Trump, they don’t realize they are about to bring about their own demise!

Contrast this with what took place in Joshua 1. The command to yarash. To go and take hold of their inheritance.

Their inheritance was a covenant promise given 400 years earlier. (Gen 15) The land was instrumental in that covenant. The land for the family who would then multiply to a people without number and ultimately bring forth the Messiah. They were to prepare themselves, to take the land portion of the inheritance.

The Hebrew children were a people set apart by God, their laws, their treatment of one another was to be different than other nations, their worship of the One True God was unique only to them. They were chosen. What they ate and how they prepared it all had a part in this because they were separated from the world and as such, they were to live righteous before both man and God.

God gave the Law to Moses, but the people at the bottom of Mount Sinai agreed to the Law and it was imprinted in their hearts. Moses then unpacked the law within them, that very thing that would anchor them to God and enable them to transition from wanderers who were cast out of Egypt into warriors who would grab hold of the promise. Warriors who would “yarash” or take hold of their inheritance!

I’ve seen this process in vision as they crossed the Jordan River and passed by the Ark which was held up by the Priests while they stood in the middle of the Jordan, this next generation experienced a deep transformation at the cellular level transforming them from wanderers to warriors.

Their parents were cast out of the nation of Egypt, but this generation, raised free in the desert, transformed from within as they crossed the Jordan, made them men who were now capable of yarash, and they would take hold of the promised land.

The land was full of idolators, whose cup was now full (Gen 15:16). Among them an entire race of giants ranging from ten to thirteen feet tall, men who’d shed rivers of innocent blood in their perverted idolatry and worship of their false gods. The generations before them lived lives of abuse of their own women, children, and other nations with no sign of repentance, their cup was full and God was sending His justice through the hand of the Israelites.

The Israelites had lived a life of abuse at the hand of the Egyptians, and God judged the Egyptians Himself. The Amorites (and the neighboring nations) would receive their judgment at the hand of the Israelites. It was time—yarash—to go and take hold of their inheritance.

The book of Joshua details this journey of mighty victories beginning right after they celebrated their first Passover in the Promise Land. Circumcision was required prior to this Passover as the nomadic lifestyle they lived in the desert made that difficult to maintain in accordance with the Law. When a man is circumcised, he is his weakest on the third day, the fever is at its peak, it’s an agonizing journey to healing, but they were a separated people and God would use only those who had separated themselves from other nations in such manner. While they healed, God in His mercy brought a terror upon the people of Jericho as they awaited the approach of the nation whose God destroyed the mighty Egyptians.

Yarash, go, take hold of your inheritance – this is the command, and in obedience, as part of the covenant bearers, they had to take action! Go!

Yes, God wielded the Israelites like a mighty sword of His justice upon the inhabitants. He would have done this forty years ago with their parents, but that generation was compromised and not ready to take the land, they were still bound by fear, stubbornness, and doubt.

This generation was ready. Yarash, go, take hold of your inheritance… and they went forth!

Israel was created to be an eternal blessing to the world by bringing the Savior through them. But God has also gifted them with brilliant minds, and we see this in amazing technological and military innovations, medical interventions, and fascinating agricultural advancements that have come through Israel, it’s astounding.

Yet, it all started with taking hold of their inheritance!

What does this have to do with where we are today?

Garash, right now, is what God, through Trump is doing with the Cabal. He is towering over Washington DC, plunging his hand right into the center of it and ripping the Octopus of Corruption and all the tentacles out. Its destruction will impact the whole world.

Why is this so important for us to grab hold of and recognize?

I’m going to expound a little on the organizations I mentioned in the beginning so we can get a glimpse of the gravity of this situation we are about to be set free from.

The Cabal run the Media, the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the Internal Revenue Services (where they ensure our tax dollars fund these agencies), U.S. Agency for International Development or “USAID” a front for funding the United States Communist Party, aka the Democrat Party and RINOs. This organization controls narratives, funds NATO, and is responsible for destabilizing legitimate governments the world over. These organizations are the tentacles through which the Octopus of Corruption aka the Cabal, control the world.

They have been using our tax dollars to accomplish these things, this put some of the onus of these events upon us, and we as a ministry have been repenting for years over these things to pave the way for a great uprooting of corruption. When this is done, we are no longer going to be responsible with our tax dollars for the overthrow of duly elected leaders in other nations. In addition, propaganda in media both here and abroad will be shut down so we will no longer be part of indoctrinating people in other nations with things like transgender ideology or hatred and discontent of their own government so we can overthrow that government. The journalists who have been paid by USAID will need to find other jobs because the piggy bank is about to be shattered and there will be nothing left for them to draw from.

Withdrawing us from the Paris Climate Accord, another money laundering organization, prevents our tax-payer dollars from going to useless agendas that divide us, destroy the planet, and put demands on nations that they cannot possibly meet, all to reduce our carbon footprint. Did you know that without carbon, plant life will cease to exist? Without plant life, so will we.

As I said earlier, I believe the cabal are being driven by God on the same path the Egyptians were! They run that Octopus of Corruption, but their hearts have been so driven by God to get rid of Donald J Trump, they don’t even realize their pursuit of him is about to bring about their own demise!

I want to briefly caution you, I shared these concerns and encouraged people to stay prayerful about this last week. Speaker Mike Johnson came forward yesterday and said many of these things President Trump is doing by executive order will have mighty consequences in the days ahead, but some will need to be codified to become permanent. Some will be completely dismantled, some will need to be reduced and restructured. Congress holds the purse strings of our nation, so we need to be sure to elect the proper people to Congress in 2026 and pray this through to completion. This process might be bumpy, we need to stay vigilant.

I could go on about this, and likely will share more in the coming weeks, but please, listen attentively to Darrell’s praise reports, you will hear the work being done. The Lord, in His mercy, is doing a quick work at healing a nation that was on the brink of death through that catastrophic accident we were thrust into, by Executive Orders at that hand of our President Trump.

What steps should we take?

As I see it, we have two choices here:
1) Be like the former generation of Israelites, those who’d been enslaved, beaten and oppressed into submission, and now cast “garash” out of Egypt and left as wanderers in the desert.
OR…
2) We can Yarash, go, and take hold of our inheritance.

I believe in 2016, many did not even realize how subjugated we were, so when Trump was elected, we rejoiced, the Cabal was set back 50 years, but we, the citizens of America and the Church did not realize yet the level of corruption in our own nation, so thrusting that from our land was not a priority. So, we wandered in the desert enjoying our manna. We really need to pray for the Church and our Church leaders… we really do.

In 2020, the depth of that corruption surfaced and began to rear its ugly head from the east to the west, and we have lived with it in our faces for four years while American’s woke up.

In 2024, we have the popular vote, the electoral vote, and friends, it’s time! Yarash, let us go, and take hold of our inheritance.

Why is this timing so important?

Yarash refers to the covenant. It is our inheritance and while it involves physical undertakings the spiritual undertakings are the most significant as they symbolize our obedience to God’s commands. It means to spread the Gospel, take hold of what God is giving us and use this season as a launching pad right into the revival He’s promised!

He is commanding us to Yarash – go and take our inheritance. Now!

What is our inheritance?

Jesus came and He died for all, all who will accept Him as Lord and Savior become His inheritance.

While Israel was part of His inheritance, they rejected Him for a season, to allow for the grafting in of the Gentiles. In the end, they will be grafted back in, and we will become One New Man.

Until then… God birthed America, as a gift to the Church. America is our inheritance if you will. A safe place for the Church to live and thrive, a place from which the Gospel should be pouring out over the earth at all times. You do not know the freedoms we have, until you’ve been to another nation. You can feel it in the spirit realm, it’s tangible. We are the only nation that has not been fully corrupted by the Octopus or all out idolatry.

When I’ve gone to England, the darkness that resides there is so heavy, you can feel the weight of it on your chest. When I went to Nigeria, I felt the witchcraft in Africa as I flew over the continent. When we landed, we could smell it, the stench of the demonic so freely abounds in the nation. When we landed in Germany, you feel the cold of a nation so pained with the past of the occultic reign, they’ve gone numb.

In America, we have the Cabal, yes, using our money for their dirty deeds, expanding communism at every turn, but Mom spoke to God’s plan to eradicate that last night. We have not been fully corrupted in this nation. Why? Because of the Covenant, because of the Church and because of our inheritance!

Church! Yarash! It’s time for us to take possession of our inheritance! It is time for the Church to arise and take her place! We are the heartbeat of this nation. We are the barometer, the plumbline, the influencers in this hour, a people who are to be separated unto God and this nation is our inheritance! Are we ready to Yarash! to go and take hold of, to take possession, to take what God has given His Church and use it for His glory!?

Church, America was created to bring God’s blessings to the nations, to be a place of refuge, and the Church must be the guiding light of that effort. We must continue to pray into the things God is giving us, do not stress or be dismayed when things seem risky, pray for God to shine forth His light upon everything that is being done in our nation.

Last week I spoke on viewing things through the lens of the Lord, I cannot tell you how important that message is for us in the coming weeks and months. This is all part of seeing God’s timing in the events in front of us and then engaging Him as we yarash, go and grab hold of our inheritance in the midst of those events.

In closing I ask you to pray for the Church. The Church is the restrainer of evil, but to restrain the evil, we must walk in obedience to His command, recognize our position and our post, so together we can go forth and Yarash, grab hold of our inheritance!

Blessings & love,
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
