I have finished reading every card and note that you have sent during the holiday season. Your love and appreciation is humbling. My heart’s desire is that each of you would continue pressing into the goodness of our Father.
Unshakable Trust in the Midst of Chaos! A Prophetic Word for 2021 by Rose Sambrook
We have yet another prophecy for the new year to share with you today. Even though Rose Sambrook and her husband, Kevin, live in Belfast, Northern Ireland, they are webcasters and remain very connected with this ministry. They have an apostolic hub, Rhema Restoration Ministries, and have ministered here on several occasions. After one of our recent services, Rose texted a powerful word that I asked her to capture by video. Watch now and declare unshakable trust in the midst of chaos is your portion!

Through the presentation of He Came … War Began!, we have seen that God has a plan and the world is fine. There will always be war and rumors of war, but He will always have a remnant who triumphs. I send you forth into this season ahead, knowing that you will triumph and there is supernatural grace to fight.
After I got up and spent time with the Lord this morning, I received an alert from CNN on my phone. I have CNN as one of my alerts because I like to know how the media is viewing things. Years ago I wrote an article and said “Media are present day watchmen.” A nation is held accountable for how media speaks and warns.
CNN issued this statement: “Trump’s refusal to concede the election, delusional tweets about states tipping his way, and failure to so far grant President Elect Joe Biden access to federal funding and resources to power up his administration means America is in for a rocky 71 days.”
My thought was this: God said that 2 years and a month ago on October 11, 2018. True prophets say what God says. Some of you would like for me to say “THIS” or “THAT” – but I can only release what I hear the Lord say, and I have written that fact numerous times. True prophets are not political lobbyists – true prophets represent the Kingdom of God. I would love it if the media would become true watchmen rather than just representing the news.
Remember I suggested to all of us on Sunday that we needed to have the Word of God balance us during this time. Without the balance of the Word, you can’t know the TRUTH nor the SPIRIT OF TRUTH that is being spoken around you. This morning in Isaiah 26 the Lord quickened this to me:
“OPEN THE GATES THAT THE RIGHTEOUS NATION WHICH KEEPS THE TRUTH MAY ENTER IN! YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU. TRUST IN THE LORD FOREVER! FOR IN JAH, THE LORD, IS EVERLASTING STRENGTH.”
I will pray for Joe Biden as I have prayed for every President if he is indeed elected truthfully and righteously. However, God said we would be in a swamp for two years and four months (October 2018 through January 2021). It is now apparent that the TRUTH of this election, whatever that may be, has not fully been uncovered or determined. Please listen to what the Lord says so you can truly know how to pray for this nation.
We want to know the TRUTH of the foundation that we are standing on. God calls America a righteous nation. For this nation to be righteous we must open the gates for HIS truth to be known. Please do not forget which nation you are FIRST a part of! By you representing His nation, America can be what God intends it to be.
This election is playing out the way the Lord spoke. Below is the word that I gave in Chattanooga, Tennessee on October 11, 2018. When you listen to this word, the Lord gave us clear instruction saying the next two years and four months would be like walking through a swamp.
Walking through a swamp can be very challenging. You must walk very slowly and use some sort of projectile structure to test the depth in front of you before stepping forward. I know this because I used to work on pipelines during my college years, and one of my jobs was to walk through certain swamps. You have to know that you have a destination through the swamp or you get disoriented. Every decision or step you take has great effect on the environment around you. Swamps create a different type of root system. Therefore, you must understand that the root structure you are dealing with is very different than the originating root structure. The swamp has created its own root structure because roots have to adapt to swamp life. If you drain the swamp, most of these roots would not survive.
There are ways to drain a swamp. First of all, you have to find out the source of the water that is creating the swamp, and then you have to block that source. As the swamp dries up, you will have to deal with each level of the swamp elements. In other words, as it dries you will see a whole different world emerge. This world has many dangerous creatures, fragile vegetation and an unsure soil structure, for the future. The purpose of draining the swamp is to create a direct way to get to a new destination.
Swamps are not insurmountable. However, they are very dangerous. They also have many resources that have been covered over that need to be used for the future. This is a parallel of how we are having to walk in this nation. God said we would have to walk very cautiously through the third week of January.
Digging and Fertilizing OR Uprooting?!
Of the two words I have from the Lord, the other has to do with digging around and fertilizing the tree. This is the passage the Lord gave me before President Trump began his term: [Luke 13:6-9] Then He began telling them this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, but did not find any; so he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have found none. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground depleting the soil and blocking the sunlight?’ But he replied to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, just one more year until I dig around it and put in fertilizer. Please watch this following video. The real issue is if the Lord will allow this nation to be uprooted.
Daniel Pierce Dreams About Philadelphia and Pennsylvania: Warning Dream from Head of the Year 5780/2019
Over a year ago at Head of the Year 5780 (fall 2019), Daniel Pierce came to me with a dream he had about Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. He felt this had to do with the election (that we are now participating in). In the dream, Daniel was wearing a Philadelphia flat cap. He and one of his friends in the dream knew that there was a great danger in Philadelphia because of a criminal element that had infiltrated the city. Daniel had been given a legal warrant in the dream to arrest a violent felon and bring him in. When he awakened, he knew there would be a fight against justice coming forth in Pennsylvania; that state would become the battleground for the justice of this nation.
Today, legal representatives of the current administration just received a court order that a group could go in and witness the vote count. The results in the Keystone State, Pennsylvania, are expected to be the deciding factor for the 2020 election. Pam Bondi slammed the state for not allowing more observation of the voting processing.
Dutch Sheets Does a Prophetic Intercessory Journey this Week
I just got off the phone with Dutch Sheets. On Monday, he went on a prophetic intercessory journey to the headwaters of the Allegheny, which are in Pennsylvania. There he dug a hole and buried a mercy coin, tuning fork, buckeye from Cain Ridge, Appeal to Heaven Flag, and a key from Constitution Hall. We appeal to heaven for this nation to be “retuned with mercy,” for revival to come.
Parking the Second Barge!
I recorded a dream in The Passover Prophecies in the economic section called “China, the President, and a Prophetic Dream.” The dream I had on May 6, 2020 was about docking a second ship, and is very, very key for our future. This was actually the first inkling I had about the outcome of this presidential election. It’s going to appear there is no way for Trump to get back in office again. However, there was a way if you could figure out how to reverse what happened to get the ship docked.
Some people have wondered why we have to pray. We must understand that God is sovereign and has a choice in all matters. However, there is a will of man that can be manipulated by the devil. Therefore, we have to pray that every scheme the enemy is using will be exposed. Satan can use his resources. So if the will of man has not given up resources to the will of God, Satan can use them (John 8:44). This includes lying, cheating and manipulating the truth.
This week is a defining time in the history of our nation. We should not be anxious, but remain walking with the Lord … day by day by day. Below is a video summary of what the Lord said to me regarding this nation and the election.
Additionally, here are the scriptures I am praying and encourage you to meditate on as well.
“Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. Follow the example of all that we have imparted to you and the God of peace will be with you in all things.” (Phil. 4:4-9, TPT)
“Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. And don’t be one who scorns prophecies, but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right. Avoid every appearance of evil.” (1 Thes. 5:16-22, TPT)
On Sunday morning, the Spirit of the Lord said, “I Am going to deal with the noise around you this week. This will be a week I start addressing noise that has invaded My people’s atmosphere. The noise that rises up creates confusion, but in the midst of it I will cause My people to rise above the fray of the confusion. This week, you will see what you have been longing to see.”
When I released that word, I didn’t have any idea how difficult this week would be. A severe infection penetrated both my inner and outer left ear. In addition to sharp pain, I could not hear anything with that ear. Although I planned to speak at tonight’s Shabbat service on “Becoming New: Are You Perceiving?”, this will not be possible. I also planned to join Dutch Sheets in Clarksville, Tennessee this weekend, but I’m not released to travel until my ear improves. A passage I am claiming is from Psalm 27: “Yet I totally trust you to rescue me one more time, so that I can see once again how good you are while I’m still alive! Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting – for he will never disappoint you!” (Ps. 27:13-14, TPT)
Turkish Earthquake: A Sign of Warning

A major earthquake struck Turkey earlier today, causing great damage and loss of life. Please pray for those affected along the Turkish coast and the Greek island of Samos. As I was praying for the city of Izmir (where the greatest damage has been reported), I was led to read Revelation 2:8-11. The city of Izmir was known as Smyrna in biblical times. This earthquake is a sign of warning for our nation, and that there will be great testing in the next 10 days. In the midst of this testing, decree that spirits of poverty that are trying to overtake our nation will break.
We continue to press forward toward the MIRACLE CENTER … the ARK of our future! God is moving! When the Ark moved, the procession of God’s glory created atmospheric change. We are crying out for miracles to break forth! Watch this video and declare a miracle anointing will fall!
Pressing in to Miracles!
I am so grateful for your help as we construct our future. The Tabernacle has now been upgraded to reflect a new identity for a new era. We have also developed the new expressions of The Wellspring(green room), The Branch (bookstore and fellowship area), and The Orchard (meeting space). The Agra Center is becoming a model for the whole region. This includes the operations of the Israel Prayer Garden.
Our ultimate goal is to fully utilize the MIRACLE CENTER. Many of you were able to worship there during Head of the Year and experience the incredible faith atmosphere. Our goal is to now begin Phase 2 of development to shift this new wineskin from a functional space to a fully developed center. Here is what remains for us to be completely operational in the Miracle Center:
Air Conditioning (and Heat); Penny is working diligently for the most efficient way to do this.
Sound Proof and Absorption Treatment (echo reduction)
This is a week of CHANGE! Do not allow the noise of confusion to control your atmosphere. The Lord is addressing the noise around His people and causing us to rise above the fray. Allow your vision to come up higher so you see what you have been longing to see!
Restoring a War Mantle!
After watching yesterday’s service, Susie Zeigler was led to pick up a copy of The Future War of the Church. Susie has a wonderful gift to mobilize and pull the Body into a new alignment … in the Carolinas and beyond. What she shares will encourage you on how to be “dressed” in this season of change.
This morning I was looking something up in The Future War of the Church, opened up to page 72, and this jumped off the page for me! It’s like this section is a write up of yesterday’s service (the prophetic gift presented to you by Ed Watts and Steve Hansen) and where we are right now!! And, of course, you wrote this all more than 13 years ago. I just had to share with y’all. Here are some key excerpts that I typed up and am sending out to alert all of our Embassy of Zion folks here.
“After crossing the Jordan on dry land, the children of Israel didn’t immediately sweep across the land and overcome their enemies. Instead, the Lord asked them to do an unusual thing: He commanded them tosharpen flint knives for circumcision (see Joshua 5:2). Before the children of Israel claimed their inheritance, they submitted themselves to bear the sign of the covenant. In a similar way, I see us becoming very vulnerable, submissive and humble. As our hearts are circumcised, God’s promised power will arise within us.
“We will see a restoration of the war mantle of the Body of Christas the apostolic-prophetic mantle of the Church is being restored. Why did the Lord command circumcision for the children of Israel? He commanded circumcision to restore covenant with the children of Israel and to restore the faith of the warriors. The warriors of the past season had fallen into unbelief and had passed their faithlessness on to the next generation. The Lord not only wanted to demonstrate His power but also wanted to cut away the unbelief the people had carried with them out of Egypt.
“I see a shaking of systems. Watch for conflict to begin in the political, economic and religious structures. God will prepare us for this warfare by restoring our war mantle. He will call us to fast individually, corporately and territorially. These will be supernatural fasts, as in the biblical pattern we find in Daniel 10. After fasting for 21 days, Daniel found out that his prayers enabled God’s messenger to overthrow a principality that was holding back revelation for the future. As you fast, expect God to show you how to establish yourself in the new arising around you. Know that Jezebel, a controlling system, will be plotting to prevent the restoration of God’s purposes in the earth. This spirit will try to hold old laws and legalism in place and redirect God’s supply for His kingdom purposes.
“We must understand Amos 9, which is key to our future. We are seeing a great move of God to restore the Tabernacle of David in the earth (see Amos 9:11). We find this occurring in each historical season…. The Tabernacle of David represents fervent prayer and praise as it was practiced under David’s oversight (see 1 Chron 16:1,4). Prayer and praise in every region is key in the Church’s future…”
Exciting times, for sure… Thank You, Lord, for letting us know You are with us!
Allow the Lord to cut away anything that would keep you from embracing your new identity for the season ahead.
There is a Divine Exchange in the Change!
As we saw in yesterday’s gift presentation, there can be a joy when we embrace the change God has prepared for each of us. We can allow His Spirit to cut away the old so all things can be made new. As you watch this short video from the Prophecy Center, declare your willingness to CHANGE and be mantled for the season ahead.
