I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings at this time, as America finds herself in a great stormy squall that has overtaken our nation, our constitution, and our rights as voters (some voters). I totally realize that I will probably get many dislikes, many rebukes and many emails stating how wrong I am. However, this has been the beauty (thus far) of being able to have “Freedom of Speech,” but sadly this too is slowly eroding and corroding away. Please finish this whole article before you cast a stone, my friends. I felt the absolute need and urgency to send this out ASAP.
Here are some of the emails and phone calls I have been receiving regarding this election:
- What is going on?
- I’m so afraid – we are in jeopardy!
- The prophets spoke – what happened?
- What is God doing?
- Didn’t He hear our prayers?
- Why is this happening?
- We didn’t pray hard enough!
I can sum it up all in Mark 4:35-38 as the Lord gave me this a few weeks ago, and I would like to express and confess this to you at this time. Let’s read it:
35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
There is so much here that represents what we are experiencing, what we are seeing, and what we are literally living through in real time. I know that God has called me to be a “Watchman on the Tower,” and I want to share with you what I see at this time as well as what I am watching.
We see in the preceding chapters of the Gospels—BEFORE the Calming of the Waters—Jesus, as the Messiah, Jesus, as the Teacher, Jesus as the Healer, and Jesus who demonstrates His authority and identity in a profound and real way where the disciples were up close and personal as first-hand witnesses.
Jesus Turns Water into Wine – John 2:1-11
Jesus Heals an Official’s Son at Capernaum – John 4:43
Jesus Drives Out an Evil Spirit from a Man – Mark 1:21, Luke 4:43
Jesus Heals Peter’s Mother-in-Law – Mathew 8:14, Mark 1:29, Luke 4:
Jesus Heals Sick & Oppressed at Evening – Mathew 8:16, Mark 1:32, Luke 4:40
First Miraculous Catch of Fish – Luke 5:1-11
Jesus Cleanses a Man with Leprosy – Mathew 8:14, Mark 1:40-45, Luke 5:12-14
Jesus Heals a Centurion’s Paralyzed Servant – Mathew 8:15, Luke 7:10
Jesus Heals a Paralytic – Mathew 9:1-18, Mark 2:12, Luke 5:17-26
Jesus Heals a Man’s Withered Hand – Mathew 12:9-14, Mark 3:1-6, Luke 6:6-11
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son from the Dead – Luke 7:11-17
Now, Jesus weary from a very long day of teaching, praying, healing, and mentoring told His disciples – “Let’s Go to the Other Side.” Please hear this because I believe Jesus is already given a promise for us in this nation of reaching the other side. He already gave clear instructions, directions, directives, and assurances in reaching the place of victory, of history making, and of seeing our nation under God once again through President Donald J. Trump. He already spoke the Word telling His disciples we will be over there shortly.
I see many of us screaming, crying, and in terror for Jesus to wake up as He is sleeping ever so soundly in the place of peace and blessed assurance that His Father has this, and nothing can thwart His divine purpose.
I love this picture of Jesus sleeping soundly, comfortably, and securely.
Remember, my Christians Saints, when God/Jesus states something you can be well-assured nothing, nor no one can and will thwart (prevent, stop, foil) the plan of the Lord’s (Job 42:2) in reaching the other side. The Lord’s purpose will always prevail reaching the other side NO matter what the eye sees in the natural, no matter what is being out-maneuvered (manipulated, schemed and plotted) because the Lord works out everything for His own end (Proverb 16:4) and that was to “Reach to the Other Side.”
Now it states in Mark 4: 35 – “a furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat.”
Let me explain what a furious squall literally means in the Greek: A whirlwind, tempestuous wind, earthquake, squall. It was not just a few high winds and waves BUT a cyclone of a storm that came out of NO-where. It was suddenly, shockingly, unexpectedly that harsh waves of the sea overcame them and engulfed their boat with water, putting them in grave jeopardy, peril, and danger. Surely this was something they did not expect to happen as they had just been a part of Jesus’ ministry of healing and calling people to life, liberty, and to pursue truth in Him.
Being expert and experienced fishermen, they have been in many of storms but had never been in or seen a storm such as this one. Rarely does a major storm happen at this time and particularly when they had Jesus their teacher, healer, and Savior in the boat with them when all should be well. They had not just the promises but the Promise Keeper with them.
Please envision this with me: Jesus deeply sleeping as this tempestuous squall is happening, the boat is severely and fiercely rocking to and fro, the water is soaking everyone and everything including Jesus, and the disciples. I’m sure, they are screaming, maybe some even crying, but surely yelling loudly in panic and fear. Feelings of all their hopes, miracles, and faith from that extraordinary day seem to slowly evaporate into clouds of watery and wet eyes of dread and terror. They were looking death right in the face. And yet, our Precious Lord is steadfast asleep from the day of victory, weariness, and triumph. Jesus is surely in a place of safety and comfort—in His Father’s Presence.
So many are in fear and dread of our situation and circumstance with Trump and the election. So many are engulfed with anxiety. I want to encourage you as a Watchmen on the Tower: Just wait and watch! Just wait and watch for Jesus will rise and rebuke the wind and say to the waves: “Quiet! Be Still!”
Then, He will turn toward YOU and ask you: “Why are you so fearful?” and “How is it that you have no or little faith?” The storm did not disturb or disrupt Jesus’ sleep. I believe Jesus wanted His disciples to exercise what they saw just a few hours beforehand—the proof, the evidence, and the reality of the One who did the impossible—the One who raised the widow’s son from the dead, the One who cleansed leprosy, and the One who even taught them to pray line-by-line.
What is the Father saying here in this time? Why do you think He is allowing these events to unfold this way since November 3, 2020 Election Day? Were all the prophets wrong? Did He not hear the righteous prayers that avail much in this time?
What I can say for sure: Jesus is still in the boat with us. He gave us specific orders and directives: Take the boat to the other side. No matter what you experience, see, and unfold in front of you, hold fast to God promise(s). I am doing just that because I believe President Donald J. Trump will be re-elected after everything is said and done. Also, the truth will prevail, things will be uncovered, discovered, and recovered because God is a God that will NOT be mocked. Everything has been such a fight for this President in these last 4 years. Did we really expect it to be an extremely easy and simple thing to “Drain the Swamp?” We need to come together in prayer and hold fast to the sounds of God’s Promises. It is not time to surrender the white flag. It is not time to dissolve into tears and despair. Instead, it is time to put your combat boots on and march into the War Room of Heaven and Hell to take back what the enemy has stolen. Do not give in nor give up because God is in the Boat with us and He said, “Let’s Go to the Other Side.” This is not about us—it’s all about HIM and what He has called YOU, ME and this Nation under God to do.
God is calling US—Christians—to put our fighting gloves on in the spirit as well as speaking out our support for our President, Donald J. Trump. I am so sure you will have family, Christian friends, and neighbors become really mad at you and even say and do some harmful things, but my people parish for a lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6 – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge. Look to investigate the fraud, the stolen and misplaced ballots, the machines in the states that fix the votes and find witnesses. Don’t just swallow all that is being reported to you.
Proverbs 29:18 – Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint but blessed is he who keeps the law. God is calling us back to the basic truth of His Word.
John 8:32 – And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Freedom only comes with His truth and the truth is we are under a corporate stronghold of lies and a corporate stronghold of corrupt power from the media, the left, and Antifa. They have an agenda, and they want us to drink the Kool-Aid.
Whereas Jesus is calling us to life and life abundantly here in America. Then we can see true reformation and revival, His glorious favor resting upon us to be that beacon of light and hope for other nations.
In conclusion, after Jesus quietened the storm and stilled the waters, the disciples experienced another type of terror, and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
They were coming into realization and comprehension of this One by the question, “Who is this?” Yet they had much to learn from, to seek after, and to grow in the knowledge of the Lord, the Savior, and the Ruler of all. Having come through this very fearsome incident of the storm was the One that would write upon their hearts the majesty, the supremacy, and the sovereignty of their Messiah, of Jesus who took complete lordship over the realm of nature making His disciples very certain of His divinity.
I believe that is what He is writing upon our hearts in this “Storm of this Election:” that we will see Jesus in His divinity. The Good News here is we are having front-row seats to stand in the gap for our nation, for our President, and for what God has spoken to His Prophets. If we are to remain steadfast followers, steadfast to His promises, and steadfast to His Word, the Body of Christ needs to learn to fight the good fight because today our battle is NOT against flesh and blood, but against Satan and his evil plans. These are principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness, so Paul warned the believers we had better put on the whole armor of God to be able to withstand the tricks and deceptions of Satan. This is the fight we are in!
I would highly encourage you to listen to Lance Wallnau, November 6, 2020, YouTube titled—”Don’t be Intimidated”—a must see.
