[00:00:19] Okay, welcome back. Welcome to January of 2026. And it is, I think it's January 12th. I'm a little bit behind here. The holidays, you know how that goes. You get a little busy. Before you know it, you look up, it's January 2nd and then you catch the plague. That's going around here pretty much all over the nation. But really Texas is a really hot state right now for some kind of awful flu Covid something awful thing that's going around. [00:00:54] So everybody is just kind of struggling right now. And of course my house got hit and both of us got it. And so we are recovering. I finally feel better and Mike is coming out of it. He's still kind of in the fog. [00:01:10] But I'm hoping that your 2026 is, is starting off in a, in a good way. Here we are in the throes of all kinds of civil unrest, protest, chaos. [00:01:27] We have things going on in Iran, we have Venezuela and, and the things that, the events that just took place there. And so much is happening and it's happening so rapidly in multiple succession. And I just want to, I want to today give you a little bit of prophetic words and things that God has showed me, you know, more recently, or that's the wrong word, you know, with me, I usually typically teach in a, in a fashion that's more about, you know, helping people get healing in their, in their soul and their spirit, emotionally, mentally, learning how to kind of sure up their mind and have the mind of Christ and walk in that way, walk in the spirit, overcome things. You know, that's usually what I talk about a lot. I deal with a lot of people who have been through trauma because I have been through so much. [00:02:27] But another side of me is the prophetic side that God, especially in the last few years, well, it's actually been the last couple decades, to be honest, but it's been slowly unveiling before me that one of the callings on my life is it's a prophetic, intercession type thing. [00:02:49] And so a lot of times, and I know that some of you listening probably have these same gifts. So I'm not special at all. [00:02:55] I'm just learning how to operating, operate in them a little bit more and also use them to encourage the body of Christ and to call people to prayer, really, I think is what this is about. But I've been for years, for decades, I've been having national level or even world level, international level dreams over the years where God would show me things and I would just be kind of like, what in the world am I supposed to do with this? You know, I've had dreams where I am talking to US Presidents in their office. [00:03:31] Excuse me. [00:03:33] I've had dreams about other countries, me being in other countries and, thank God, revealing things that were going on there. I've had dreams about things that could potentially happen in America if we did not pray. [00:03:47] God revealed things to me about the Islamic things that are going on with that entire. [00:03:59] That entire system that's coming down right now. The fake things that are happening with that extremist section, a sect, especially of that religion. [00:04:10] And you know how demonic it is. But the Lord showed me years ago. I mean, this probably been 12 years. [00:04:16] And I had such strong prophetic dreams that. And the colors were vivid. And I remember the things that were spoken, and they were terrifying, to be honest with you. The goal of these terrorists, which is all backed, of course by there it's demonic, is to completely destroy and eradicate all Jews and all Christians and anyone who does not submit to them, which is, of course, Satan and his will and what he wants to do in the earth. And he's using these extreme extremists to accomplish that. And so God just began to reveal to me years ago and just these dreams that I would have and how I needed to pray. And so as the years have gone on, you know, I've had times where I kind of was so wrapped up in my own life that I didn't really pay attention to what was going on in the world. I'm just being honest. Like, I just was wrapped up in my own little world and what was going on and what I wanted to do with my life. And, you know, I had dreams. I had these great dreams, grand dreams of doing music and all these things. And. [00:05:23] And God began to reveal to me, I guess, even in my 20s, that I had a call to intercession and prophetic intercession, which is kind of a different level of intercession. [00:05:36] But you do see it throughout Scripture. You see it in some of the prophets. That's what they were called to do. They were called to prophetically see. God would show them things, and then he would also call them to pray and intercede and to do things that he told them to do. So that's really all it is. [00:05:51] But, you know, to have that weight on a global scale is something I didn't really understand or know how to operate in because I had never known anyone who had done it. But with what has happened, of course, with, you know, platforms like YouTube and Facebook and all those places where we can see these other prophetic voices that God's called. I've been able to really just understand that there's other people out there who have this type of calling as well. [00:06:19] And so I've really just began to understand, I guess, that how to use it just by seeing how these people were operating and like, oh, okay, so God's showing them things so they could pray this specific way and learning how to pray and learning how to. You just operate in intercession and realizing how powerful it is. And I truly believe, and I hope that you take this to heart, that intercession is one of the. And prayer and intercession are, to me, probably the biggest and most important calls of a Christian that anyone could ever have. And it is a behind the scenes thing. And it is a thing where no one's probably going to know that you're doing it, that you're warring in the spirit, that you're faithfully praying as God leads you. But this is how the church will win. We will win it through prayer and intercession and worship. [00:07:12] God will fight our battles, but we must, we must learn how to partner with him and to pray his will into existence. And we must learn how to war in the spirit here. And what does that look like? And maybe I could even go into a session, a series of what is warring in the spirit and taking ground and all the things that that means and what it doesn't mean. But today I wanted, I just kind of said all that rambling just to kind of tell you that this is not like a new thing that I just decided one day I woke up and I wanted to be like a prophet to the nations, because I definitely am not. But what I am is as I'm a watchman and I'm seeing what's happening and God is instructing, he's calling all of us to prayer. And if you want to join alongside me and realize that you have a part to play, that it's not just a handful of people that need to be praying. It is literally every believer in the world right now needs to be praying, needs to be praying for the liberation of the Iranian people, needs to be praying for the overthrow of this corrupt demonic regime that has taken over that area of the world. And it's not just going to happen in Iran. It's going to happen in all the nations surrounding that area. God told me yesterday, I was telling Mike about this, that as I was driving home, I mean, because I had been really watching the news nonstop the last several weeks. I mean, I am glued to the news and not in a scared way, but I'm watching these events unfold because I'm feeling the Lord, he's doing something. Surely you know that as well. Something crazy, crazy is going on right now. Things are happening at warp speed almost, you know. And so I was coming home yesterday and I heard the Lord say that he was cutting the head off this. Off the snake. [00:08:59] And immediately I knew he was talking about this terrorist organization, this regime that is so corrupt. Hamas, Hezbollah, all these evil dictatorships and terrorist organizations and the Iranian regime, which is kind of the center of it, honestly, and has been funding so. So much that has been going on in the world, in our country. They are behind so much. This thing is so much bigger than we all realize. And there's a globalist elite system behind everything that is funding all of this. [00:09:35] And God is. Is actually revealing it. He's revealing the corruption. He's revealing what has been behind all of this all along. [00:09:43] Because they are trying to bring in the one world system. And God is saying it is not time. [00:09:51] God is saying that he in. In this moment, right now, we are in the moment of the Gentiles still. And this is the last. I believe in my spirit and have heard a lot of other prophetic voices who are saying along the same lines of what I'm telling you right now, that we are in the last great revival, that right now God is keeping the door open and he's holding back. He's using America, by the way, to hold back this formation of the one world order of the entire world, where the Antichrist will eventually, of course, control this. And if you don't bow and take the mark and all that, you know, all the horrible things that will happen, all the Christians that will be martyred, those kind of things are going to happen. I don't believe we're going to be here, by the way. I believe in a rapture, and that's not really the point of today. But what I prophetically feel is the Lord saying, this is the time of the Great Awakening, another Great Awakening, another revival. And this time it is targeted towards not just, you know, us. Americans think everything's about us. It's not just about us. It's not just about other first world countries. This is specifically, I feel very strongly directed towards any. Anyone that has been trapped in Islam, especially the ones that have been under this oppressive regime and government and these terror, terrorist organizations that have been controlling them. [00:11:23] God is doing something incredible And I felt his heart yesterday as I was watching the protesting and what these people are going through in Iran. These are so many of these protesters. And the people in the streets, there's millions of them, by the way, are kids. [00:11:40] They are young. This is Gen Z. This is even possibly younger than Gen Z. [00:11:45] And they are so brave and they are so tired of this and they've, they're out of options. They, they can't afford, they don't have good jobs. They've been oppressed to the point that they have to fight just to stay alive. So my heart breaks for them. My heart breaks for these kids that are out in the street and they're so brave. [00:12:09] And the Lord, I felt the Lord's heart that he is coming for them. He's coming to present himself to them, to these people that have been trapped in these regimes, under these regimes. He's setting him free, he's liberating them. And I do believe he is going to use President Trump to help do that. That is why he is partially. That is why he's there. That's one of the reasons he's also there to help hold back this new world order that's been trying to entrench itself in our nation, in our world, and has used all of the leaders before President Trump have succumbed to it and were a part of it. And I believe they were a part of the globalist, elitist group of people that are behind all this stuff. [00:12:54] And all of it's connected. All the things that have happened, even today with the Federal Reserve chairman, I'm not even going to go into that today, but all the things that are going on, the economy, all of the. [00:13:04] Trump has stopped some of these big global, huge monster companies like BlackRock and some of the other ones from buying homes, single family residence homes in America, because they were taking over and their goal is to own everything and then to basically make all of us their slave and we have to rent from them. And then you have this, and they're already doing it, these exorbitant, you know, rental payments that people can't afford. [00:13:33] So you have that, you have the economy side, you have what's going on in the political world with people losing their minds and they're just completely irrational, crazy. [00:13:47] The rioting that's going on, the complete lawlessness and lack of respect, the rebellion, the people that are caught under the spell of basically the Antichrist spirit. [00:13:59] You see it everywhere. [00:14:01] And I don't know if you're in an area where you're dealing with this, I pray you're not. But if you are, you know, your job is to pray. [00:14:07] We're all called to pray about this all the time. Pray without ceasing as the, as the Lord leads you. But here is what I wanted to say to you today. I'm going to try to do this in the next 15 minutes. As I was walking into my office and I literally just said, lord, what do you want me to talk about? Because I could map out a little for you guys, little cute series to help you deal with your emotional problems. There's nothing wrong with that. Like, you know, I do it all the time because I love, I love you and I care about you, and I. I want you to have freedom in your mind. Because if you're not free in your mind, you're not going to be of any use to, to anyone around you or even the kingdom of God, right? You're just going to be sitting there in your own world. Like I was talking about earlier, how I was just caught up in my own world and God had this whole other world he wanted me to engage in. [00:14:52] And so that stuff's important. But what I want to talk to you today about is when I was coming in here and the Lord said to me, I heard the scripture, because I said, what do you want me to talk about? And I heard the scripture. [00:15:04] Do not be afraid, do not be dismayed. I am your God. I am with you. I will take hold of you, of your right hand. And I immediately, you know, kind of knew, okay, that's Isaiah. And so here's what's crazy. I'm going to read this to you and please, I hope that you hang with me and let me read the entire chapter of Isaiah 41. If you have a Bible, open it up and read it with me. I think I'm reading in the CEV translation or I don't. I don't even know, honestly. But this is Isaiah 41. Be silent before me, coast and islands, and let people renew their strength. [00:15:40] Let them approach, let them testify. Let's come together for the trial. [00:15:44] Who has stirred up someone from the east in righteousness? He calls him to serve. The Lord hands nations over to him, and he subdues kings. He makes them like dust with his sword, like wind driven stubble with his bow he pursues them, going on safely, hardly touching the path with his feet. Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning, I am the Lord the first, and with the last I am He. The coasts and islands see and are afraid the whole earth trembles. They approach and arrive. Each one helps the other and says to another, take courage. The craftsman encourages the metalworker. The one who flattens with the hammer encourages the one who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, it is good. He fastens it with nails so that it will not fall over. But you, Israel, my servant Jacob, whom I have chosen, descended of Abraham, my friend. [00:16:42] I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said to you, you are my servant. I have chosen you. I haven't rejected you. [00:16:53] Do not fear. Here it is, for I am with you. Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand. [00:17:06] Be sure that all who are enraged against you will be ashamed and disgraced. [00:17:11] Those who contend with you will become as nothing and will perish. [00:17:15] You will look for those who contend with you, but you will not find them. [00:17:20] Those who war against you will become absolutely nothing. [00:17:25] For I am the Lord your God. [00:17:27] One second. [00:17:29] Who holds your right hand. This is the second time he said this. I hold you by the right hand. Who says to you, do not fear. [00:17:35] I will help you. Do not fear, you worm. Jacob. You men of Israel, I will help you. This is the Lord's declaration. [00:17:44] Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. See? I will make you into a sharp threshing board. New with many teeth. You will thresh mountains and pulverize them and make hills into chaff. You will winnow them and a wind will carry them away. A whirlwind will scatter them. But you will rejoice in the Lord. You will boast in the Holy One of Israel. [00:18:05] The poor and the needy seek water, but there is none. Their tongues are parched with thirst. I will answer them, I am the Lord, the God of Israel. I will not abandon them. I will open rivers on the barren heights and springs in the middle of the plains. I will turn the desert into a pool and dry land into springs. I will plant cedars, acacias, myrtles and olive trees in the wilderness. I will put juniper trees, elms and cypress trees together in the desert. These are all crazy things that wouldn't happen, by the way, in a desert. Y', all, just in case you didn't know, so that all may see and know. Consider and understand that the hand of the Lord has done this. The Holy One of Israel has created it. Submit your case, says the Lord. Present your arguments, says Jacob's king. Let Them come and tell us what will happen. [00:19:01] Tell us the past events so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome or tell us the future. Tell us the coming events that we will know that you are gods indeed. Do something good or bad, that we will be in awe when we see it. Look, you are nothing and your work is worthless. Anyone who chooses you is detestable. Obviously he's talking about other small g gods. [00:19:23] Now listen to this. I have stirred up one from the north and he has come, one from the east who invokes my name. He will march over rulers as if they were mud, like a potter who treads the clay. Who told about this from the beginning so that we might know and from times past so that we might say he is right. No one announced it, no one told it, no one heard your words. I was the first to say to Zion, look, here they are. And I have. And I gave Jerusalem a herald with good news. When I look, there is no one, there is no counselor among them. When I ask them, they have nothing to say. Look, all of them are a delusion. Their works are non existent. Their images are wind and emptiness. [00:20:07] Goodness gracious. There's so much here, obviously, and I can't in five minutes tell you everything and dive into this. But really I wanted to, really, there's two things I really want to point out to you and this is the first one I really feel like a personal word for anyone listening right now who you're looking at what's going on in the world and you're, you're terrified and you need to be really careful with what news that news outlets that you watch. [00:20:39] I'm not going to tell you what to watch, but pretty much all of the legacy media is corrupt and they are spinning things. [00:20:47] They are inciting a lot of this violence with their rhetoric. That is not true. They are so corrupt from the inside out, rotten. And that is another thing that God is going to bring down. You already can see some of that happening with the Nicholas guy that went out and uncovered all the fraud. [00:21:06] God is raising up people who are telling the truth and he's going to dethrone these places that are not. [00:21:13] This is all part of the plan. [00:21:16] So. But I want you to know to not get caught up in the fear. I want you to really hear Isaiah 41:10 again. This is the scripture that I heard the Lord say as I was walking to my office, do not fear, for I am with you. Do not, do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen You, I will help you. I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand. I love this because he's saying, hey, I'm going to strengthen you. So even in those moments when we feel weak, we feel like we have nothing to grab onto, he's also saying, I'm going to hold you with my righteous hand. So he's not going to let us go. He's going to strengthen us and he's going to help us. [00:21:54] And he's doing that right now. We just have to continually remember to look at him, to turn our face to him and not get caught up in the fear. The enemy wants us to be afraid. The enemy's weapon is fear. [00:22:09] God's weapon is not fear. Ever. God does not weaponize fear against us. [00:22:14] God wants us to trust him, to know that he is our source, our strength, our help, our hope. [00:22:19] He will always, always help us and come to our aid. We see this over and over and over and over and over in scripture and we are grafted into this. Yes, Here he's talking to the Israelites, no doubt. Isaiah. This is all prophetic, but he wants. He wants us to remember. This is something I've been telling myself. I'm grafted into this vine. What he said to Israel applies to me right now. I am part of Israel now. We are. We're part of the same vine. So if he promised them that he was going to be with them, which Jesus also promises this to us as well, if you want to go to the New Testament. But he's with us and he tells us not to be afraid. [00:23:00] Jesus says he is the Prince of Peace, right? So we are surrounded by this beautiful scripture, both the front side and the backside. New and Old Testament of God revealing Himself as being our help, being our protector, being our strength, being our hope, helping us when we need it. So I want to remind you of that, first of all. But here's what's super cool that I did not know until I continued to read Psalm. I'm sorry. Isaiah 41 is that when. When we get to verse 25, where it says, I have stirred up one from the north, and he has come one from the east, who invokes my name. He will march over rulers as if they were mud, like a potter who treads the clay. Who. Who told about this from the beginning. [00:23:44] So he is talking about. Because I looked that up and I knew, I knew in my spirit that he was talking about Cyrus the Great, which is, you know, who God used to free the Israelites at one point. [00:23:54] And so we're getting free from the Babylonian system right now. Babylon is coming down, and that's what God is freeing us from. And Cyrus was a part of that. And Cyrus, I want to explain this to you in a way that makes sense. Every. Every story that we see in the Old Testament has. [00:24:14] Has been a type. It's called a type and a shadow of what it was, a foreshadowing of what was to come in the New Testament. [00:24:21] So. [00:24:22] And almost all of these have been. Have been fulfilled in some way. But they. It's not just that they became fulfilled by Jesus or by, you know, some of the events that happened in the New Testament. They're. They're ongoing. We keep. The story keeps playing out. That's what I'm trying to say. Okay, so for instance, a lot of people are saying right now, this is an Esther, Haman, Mordecai. You know, we're in the time of Esther. There's all kinds of Bible stories floating around right now where we see, you know, Haman has a plot. Well, Satan has a plot through Haman to destroy the Jews. But we see God raise up an Esther and a Mordecai who saves them. [00:24:59] You see that play out. You see that play out over and over, over history, that God would raise someone up and save the Israelites. [00:25:09] The story of Noah in the ark is actually a story of the. I believe, of the Rapture. [00:25:16] I truly do believe that. And Jesus even talks about Noah and the flood in the days he's talking about. In the. In the end times, it will be as Noah and the Flood. [00:25:24] I think that's interesting, but I don't want to go into that too much. [00:25:27] The exodus of the Israelites is also a picture of salvation, a person that comes to salvation, but it's also playing out. This is why the Bible is so amazing, because this story is playing out in a different way, almost in another dimension. Does that make sense? I don't even know how to say, say it because it's so exciting, because you can see these stories, they're not just stories. [00:25:49] God breathed on this. These stories, they're true and they have a life. So because they are alive, they keep getting relived. [00:26:00] And historically, you can see these same stories happening over and over and over. [00:26:06] So what am I saying? Why am I telling you that? I'm telling you that because. Because we know that President Trump is a type of Cyrus. There's. There's so many prophetic words about that, and I don't want to overuse it because there's so many people that have talked about it, but I love the fact today that as I'm walking to my office, God leads me to Isaiah 41, which is the chapter that contains the information, some of it about Cyrus. That's not all of it. That's just a little bit of it he's alluding to. He's not alluding. He's talking about. The prophet is talking about Cyrus. God is saying, I have stirred him up. From the north. He has come. He invokes my name. He will march over rulers as if they were mud, like a potter who treads the clay. And why? Why did this matter? Because Cyrus was the instrument God used to set them free. [00:26:58] God is using President Trump to set us free. Free. [00:27:02] Whether you like him or not is irrelevant. Whether you think he's always politically correct is irrelevant. Whether you agree with absolutely everything he says or does, Good Lord, I know none of us probably do. Some of the things he says are like, oh, my gosh, please, why did you say that? It doesn't matter. God is using him, and we need to be praying for him. He's not our savior. He's not our savior. God is our savior. God clearly said further back in this chapter that he was our help. He was our strength. He was taking our right hand. But then he also said, I have stirred one up from the north. He has stirred this person up, and he has enabled them. He has personally handpicked this person, and he's. And he has created them and fashioned them in such a way that this is their job. This is their role. They were made to do this. President Trump is made to do this. [00:27:53] I'm not trying to, you know, be a person who is worshiping him. I'm not. I'm not worshiping him. I'm just saying that's who he is right now in this hour. And God is doing this to free us from the Babylonian system that we've been enslaved to. What's the Babylonian system? Oh, my gosh. [00:28:10] Our economic system is entirely corrupt. [00:28:15] It is controlled by elitist. [00:28:19] The richest people in the world are controlling everything that's happening in the world right now. [00:28:25] And God is not okay with it. He's not okay with the direction they're trying to take the world. He's holding that back because it is not time. It is still time for the Gentiles to come in to who he is, to know him for the great and final revival, I believe, which will. At that point, there is a certain number of Gentiles that's what scripture says. There's a, there's a fullness and a number of the Gentiles, that when that number happens, that is when it will be time for things to start escalating and moving forward. And, and, and the Jews, they will be unveiled to them who he really is. And they'll have that opportunity to decide if they want to accept him as their savior. So this is crazy fascinating times that we're living in. But I want you to hear this loud and clear. The Lord does not want you to be afraid. He is with you. He's with me, he's with us. He's on our side. He has raised up Osiris to free us from this tyranny, the systems that we have been under. So I hope this encourages you today. [00:29:36] You know, every week I ever know what I'm going to talk about. So who knows what next week could be about. But I just wanted to spend some time with you as we start the year out, just to let you know prophetically what God is doing. Hopefully this resonates with you. [00:29:54] Hopefully you feel better and not worse. [00:29:58] Things are happening at such a rapid rate. We don't have time to be afraid. We need to be praying. [00:30:05] So I want to press out today and I want to release just the shalom peace of God over you. So Lord, I just come before you. [00:30:11] I thank you Father. I thank you that you're holy, that you're powerful, that there's no one as powerful as you. I thank you that you said in Isaiah that the government of the world would rest upon your shoulders. Jesus, that's who you are. You are the best leader. [00:30:32] You are taking care of your people. You know exactly what you're doing. The enemy is not one. You are playing chess and you are brilliant and we trust you. And we know that you are on our side, that you're with us, that you're strengthening us, that you're helping us, that you're taking us by the right hand, that you know where you're going with things. We can trust in you. I just, I just release the shalom peace of God over everyone listening to know that the Lord's with you, that you don't have to be afraid. [00:31:00] I just break the power of fear right now. In the name of Jesus, I release peace. [00:31:06] I ask you, Jesus, to be the prince of peace over all of us right now. That we can just rest in you. That you restore as you are restoring. You're right siding the world right now. You are pulling down, you're Doing the things that we cannot do. You're doing them by your spirit. So we pray that that continues to happen. I do pray for the safety and protection of people. God, the ICE agents, the police officers, the protesters in Iran that are trying to overthrow this corrupt, wicked government. Lord, I just pray that you send help, that you do it quickly. I pray for angels to be dispatched all over the world and to go to the places that people cannot go, that we cannot go. Lord, I pray that these chaotic riots would be silenced in the name of Jesus. Lord, I just release. I release angels over every city in this country, over every area in the United States where there is. [00:32:02] Where there is chaos, where there is violence. Lord, I pray for a spirit of unification and for people to really just calm down. Lord, I pray for you and your Holy Spirit to be raised up in these areas. I pray for the church in the areas that they would be who they're supposed to be, and they would stand guard and they would. They would be the watchmen that they're supposed to be, and they would pull these things down by. By the power of the Holy Spirit that you have given them dominion over. And we thank you, Lord, that you're here with us. Here with us in the middle of it all. Yeah. In Jesus name. [00:32:41] Okay, y', all, I hope that this helps you. Hey, if you need to.
