I enjoy Rick Joyner’s Prophetic Perspectives as a means to stay connected with current events & God’s outlook on them. On 8/20/15, he discussed the Planned Parenthood scandal and Oregon’s gender reassignment changes. I WAS DISTURBED 😱😱😱. Abortions alone are unfortunate…I’m pro-life…but to harvest baby body parts for profit is unspeakable. As massive of a blow to America’s moral stance is Oregon’s passing a law allowing 15 year olds to obtain sex changes without parental consent, all covered under state subsidized funding.
Immediately I thought about regret, how I’ve allowed myself to be tormented by my decisions, sometimes to the point of disgust. I thought about how most of us aren’t even equipped to make life altering choices until our mid-20’s. The thought of a teens as young as 15 being allowed to make such a permanent decisions without parental involvement is truly outrageous 😣😣😣. This is proof that without divine guidance we run wild…
When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
Proverbs 29:18 NLT
CRY ALOUD & SPARE NOT
I shared the news of America’s misguided actions and unfruitful wisdom with some I know. Shortly after I heard, “America, America How You Have Fallen” and Revelation 18.
He cried out mightily with a loud voice, saying:“ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling place of demons,a haunt for every unclean spirit,and a haunt for every unclean and hateful bird. For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth have committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
Revelation 18:2-3 MEV
In the scripture Babylon refers to a literal place but also a religious and commercial system. Revelation 17 discusses the fall of “religious” Babylon, while the 18th chapter is about the fall of the economic system. Oh the irony. In the past several months, we’ve witnessed Greece’s debt crisis, China’s stock market crash 📉📉📉, & just yesterday morning I awakened to more news about the status of America’s teetering financial market. BTW, A great companion to read with the book of Revelation is 40 Days Through Revelation by Ron Rhodes!

Not only does Revelation 18 focus on financial & commercial realms, but the fall of Babylon happens at the end of a 7⃣ year period. America isn’t physically Babylon, however there is a spiritual connection here. This is the Shemitah year, or a time of release and remission – a nullification of debt and credit. Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn wrote the book The Mystery of the Shemitah, catch up by watching this video!
THE SHAKING IS BEGINNING AND EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN WILL, BUT THOSE IN THE SAFETY AND COMFORT OF GOD WILL NOT.
See that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused Him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven. At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has given us a promise, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.” And this statement, “Yet once more,” signifies the removal of those things that can be shaken, things that are created, so that only those things that cannot be shaken will remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be moved, let us be gracious, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:25-29 MEV
JUDGEMENT FOR AMERICA OR NAH???
Sir Isaac Newton educated the world with the Law of Motion. A commonly used quote from this physics law is
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The secular world calls it karma, while Christians refer to it as reaping what we sow (Galatians 6:7). Whatever POV you view it from we can agree it exists and going further it’s founded upon Biblical principles (Genesis 8:22). Still in all this dysfunction, God isn’t going to allow America be destroyed…at least not yet considering we know the entire earth will be…but God is going to bring America to her knees.
Sonke Stadtler/Despair
America will receive her share on what she’s put in. She won’t immediately return to God, she will continue to rebel…but there is hope yet. Well how then can I say America isn’t going to be destroyed?
INTERCESSION
Intercession is using our prayers to come in agreement with the burdens God carries for our world. In Til Heaven Invades Earth Power Principles for Intercessory Prayer, by Dr. Cindy Trimm, she writes:
“…intercession is not just about pleading a cause and getting answers. We don’t just get answers to our prayers–we become answers. We gain knowledge and insight into solutions…Our hearts become knit together with God’s heart to establish His desires upon the earth–His blessings, His divine healing, His ways, His wisdom, His kingdom. At the same time we grow and touch the lives of others, infecting them with the sense of purpose and mission with which God has infected us.”
(Trimm, 2013, pages XXI-XXII)
Abraham had an intensely close relationship with God, God referred to him as friend (Isaiah 41:8). God not only spoke to Abraham about his future, but the worlds as well. For example, God planned to destroy Sodom & Gomorrah, but because of nature of their relationship He confided with Abraham 1st‼️‼️‼️
THE EXCHANGE
Abraham: God if 50 righteous people are found will you spare it!? You’re a righteous Judge, You wouldn’t destroy the righteous with the wicked! You will do what’s right!
God: If there are 50 I will relent and spare the city.
Abraham: Well God what about 45? Would You destroy everyone over 5 people?
God: If there are 45 I will relent.
Abraham: Please don’t be upset with me Lord, but what about 30?
God: If there are 30 I will relent.
Abraham: What about 20 Lord?
God: For 20 I will not destroy it.
Abraham: Okay, well one more question, for 10 what would You do?
God: For 10 I won’t destroy it.
God was willing to change His mind over 1⃣0⃣. America has to have more than that…I can count 10 among the believers I know. Let us take a lesson from Abraham and pray. When the time is come, when our prayer becomes ineffective and The End arrives, God will protect us!
Genesis 18:16-33 Abraham Pleads for Sodom
ANYONE CAN EXPERIENCE GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST, BUT A SINCERE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM IN PUBLIC & PRIVATE ALLOWS US TO ACCESS HIS SECRETS.
COME UP A LITTLE HIGHER
Then I heard another voice from heaven saying:“ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ lest you partake in her sins, and lest you receive her plagues. For her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Revelation 18:4-5
Fellowship is what Abraham and God shared. It’s connecting on a deeper level with those who share common interests. Sodom wasn’t spared, but God did send Angels to rescue Abraham’s nephew Lot from danger & bring him into a safe place (Genesis 19).

Like Lot & his family, some of us are living in darkness, by choice and others simply because there is so much darkness. Light and dark are like oil and water…it doesn’t mix. God wants us to live in the world, but not to mix ourselves with the world. The world in its present form is passing away, as should any dark relationships & activities existing in our lives. Don’t worry about what to do or how to do it!
AS WE TURN TO GOD, WE WILL TURN AWAY FROM ALL ELSE…
A NEW PLACE IN THE SPIRIT
While speaking with one I admire greatly, I confessed I was a bit apprehensive with the revelation God was releasing to me lately. I shared the following admonition from God released on Friday, August 21, 2015:
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND BY MARSHA BURNS
IN A VISION I SAW A MAN MAKING HIS WAY UP A VERY STEEP MOUNTAIN TO REACH THE PLACE WHERE HE WOULD BUILD HIS HOUSE. AS HE CLIMBED HE GOT TANGLED IN VINES AND WEEDS THAT HINDERED HIS ASCENT. AND, I HEARD THE LORD SAY, I'M TAKING YOU, MY PEOPLE, TO A NEW DWELLING PLACE IN THE SPIRIT. IT IS HIGHER THAN YOU HAVE EVER BEEN. HOWEVER, THE ENEMY OF YOUR SOUL WILL TRY TO PREVENT YOUR PROGRESSION. YOU MUST RESIST THE TEMPTATIONS THAT ENTANGLE YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM YOUR DESTINATION. I AM WITH YOU."
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast there fore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

MOVE TO HIS SAFETY
They attested they were in a new place as well, adding they were “being recalibrated.” Recalibrate means to adjust something so that it can be used in a precise and accurate way.
On Friday, while speaking to this Elder I heard “God is moving us into a safe place” and Psalm 91. We are all being readjusted for the journey. Our garments are being tailored to fit & our baggage is being checked, so we can accompany the Father as He guides us into a place of safety. I’ve heard others share this same expression, that God is doing something new and there is a change in the Spirit. Just today on Periscope Apostle Ryan LeStrange released a message “PropheticChat: Navigating The Unknown” confirming this current change in our experience with God.
I leave you with this. It is necessary to move into this place. Embrace the change, embrace the journey and let us all go up higher with Him!
THE TRUMPET BY BILL BURNS
I SAW STORM CLOUDS GATHERING AND OUT THE CLOUDS CAME LIGHTING WITH THUNDER. AND, THE LORD SPOKE TO ME AND SAID, TELL MY PEOPLE TO FIND THEMSELVES IN SAFE SPIRITUAL HABITATIONS FOR THE DAYS AHEAD OF THEM WILL BE LACED WITH DANGER AND JUDGMENT. COME INTO SECURE HABITATIONS. FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU MUST WALK IN THE SPIRIT, FOR EVIL IS ABOUT TO RAIN DOWN."
