The world is being brought to the “Valley of Decision.” All will have to choose between the light and darkness, good and evil, truth and lies. We are in the times that will separate the wheat from the chaff, and the nations as sheep or goats.
It is not just the U.S. that is headed for civil war. All of the social fault lines in civilization will shake, and we can expect increasing divisions because of it. At the same time, the greatest unity will be coming to God’s true followers. The most glorious event on earth happening now is the bride of Christ beginning to make herself ready for Him. This is why we are promised that the glory of the latter house will be greater than the former.
As we move deeper into these times, the consequences of our decisions—or the failure to make them—will increase as well. The decision to follow The Lord with all of your heart could turn your city, or even your nation. Your stand for righteousness and against wickedness could turn the tide of battle for the soul of your city or country. All who live in these times will ultimately either be a hero or a villain. Very soon no one will be able to sit on the fence or the sidelines just observing.
The decisions we make today could determine whether we are strong enough to make the right ones later. As we approach the end of this age, the importance of every decision and every action will be magnified. This means that what will bear good fruit will bear more, and what will bear bad fruit will also bear more.
The Lord said the end of the age is “the harvest.” The harvest is when all of seeds that have been sown come to full maturity. For this reason, we must become more attuned to what the seeds are, in both our words and our actions. We must also prepare for how much faster some will come to maturity, as we are told Amos 9:13:
"Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord, "when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows seed…”
This speaks of the time when those who are doing the work of The Lord will see the fruit coming much faster. This will be exciting, but we must also know that the evil seeds will bear fruit much faster as well. The tares are coming to full maturity along with the wheat, but this is a good thing as they will be seen for what they are.
Because my country, the United States, is in such crisis, I will be focusing this coming year’s WFTW on what I was shown will turn our country around with a great revival. I was shown that what will do that is to obey the commandment The Lord gave with a promise. If we do it, things would go well for us and we will have longevity. That commandment is to “Honor your fathers and mothers.”
It is dishonoring to forget our fathers and mothers. This is why Israel was commanded during their feasts to recount their history and the great things God had done for their nation. If anything is more dishonoring than forgetting them, it is to change history to make the good look evil and the honorable appear dishonorable. This has been done to our national history. So, I will be seeking to honor our fathers and mothers by recounting our history.
About 80% of those who follow our ministry are international, and I know that it must seem to you that I have become very American centric. I cannot disagree, but I cannot apologize because I am doing this in obedience. However, I have by no means lost my love and hope for the nations, and believe there will be a time when the Lord allows me to focus on them again. Even so, I think you will find our history and the prophecies about our nation not only interesting, but full of important truth for our time that can apply to your nation as well.
I greatly appreciate how so many of you have expressed a heart for America, are praying for us, and are in other ways investing in a good outcome for the things we are now going through. Because we are a nation made up of those from all the other nations, the nations are our fathers and mothers too. For this reason, I will eventually focus on our ancestors from the many nations that not only helped set our national DNA, but also set the stage for these times in the world.
As I am preparing the WFTWs for next year, I felt as if I hit the “mother lode” of extraordinary, fascinating, and inspiring people and their stories. I love the prophetic, but I have loved history even more because it is a demonstration of God’s interaction with people and nations. For this reason, The Bible is actually a history book more than anything else, which is fitting since the word “history” came from the words His-story.
Contrary to what revisionist historians have written over the last hundred years about America, all but a couple of our American Founding Fathers were devout Christians. Their vision was for a nation that would be moored to the biblical teachings on government and jurisprudence. Their brilliant insight into these was astonishing and a revelation for all times, not just their times. Such is God’s truth. This is why we are told that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or every generation. His truth applies as much to our generation as it did to theirs.
The intent of our Founding Fathers was not always implemented well, but you can have the best form of government and still have bad government if you do not have the right people in it. Interestingly, many of the great crises we’re now facing as a nation (many other nations are as well) they foresaw, and they had remarkable insight into how these things can be overcome. This is one reason why it is so important to honor our fathers and mothers by listening to them. Some were gifted with a transcendent wisdom that will apply to every time period. To do this will not only be interesting and inspiring, but we will find that probably the main reason why the devil has been so intent on burying this history is that it is so important for us to know now.
