And I tell you, it does not even matter how other people view America. It doesn't even matter how the politicians view America. It doesn't even matter how some of the church leaders view America. I am going to you how I view America.
She is my arsenal, saith the Lord. She is my policeman of this planet. She is the instrument of my hand. And I have made a covenant with this nation that it shall not fall. It shall not be destroyed. I will rise in my indignation and my wrath and my fury and I will turn and I will punish those who would hand this nation over to the enemy.
When the cup of iniquity is full I will move. I will tip it with my hand and that which has been going on behind the scenes will be revealed and righteousness will come forth. There will rise such a strong intercessory move in this nation that it will shift the plates of this continent. I will bring up such a strong, strong, strong volcanic yell from the intercessors of God out of this nation that it will effect this
planet!
Fear not, saith the Lord. There is a time and a season for all things. And yes, you've learned how weak you can be, but you will also learn how strong you can be in the Lord. For when you take on my mantle, my cause, my heart, my strength flows. It is when you move in your own understanding and in your own abilities to try to move things that it becomes extremely frustrating and unfruitful.
So I call you to rest in the Lord, to trust in the Lord, to put your faith and your hope and your heart in the Lord - not in the politics, not in the nations, not in what you see around you. For it is only the Lord that can protect you, guide you and guard you through the future.
But if you find the heart of God for your life, if you find the will of God for your life, if you find the mantle of God for your life and you flow in it and you do not try to do things that are outside of that mantle, you will have strength; you will have hope; you will have joy no matter what goes on around you.
There is a famous photo of Winston Churchill walking out of the ruins of one of the London buildings shaking his fist at the Germans. He had my strength; he had my power; he had my anointing. He knew that I would prevail over that conflict. He had no confidence in the flesh, even in the army of Britain. He knew they were defeated by the Nazi machine across the channel but he also knew there was a God in heaven who ruled and reigned; and he counted on that and he called upon me, and he called upon me, and he called upon me, and he called upon me and he refused to receive the counsel of defeat. He refused to receive the words of those around him.
He heard the Word of the Lord; he heard the Word of the Lord; he heard the Word of the Lord; he heard the Word of the Lord. And the word of the Lord to him was victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory!
I will give you victory over this horde. I will give you victory over the powers of evil on this planet. I will raise up where you know not from. His deliverance was in the Lord and the Lord saw that man and that nation through. And that is what you must go to now - the secret closet of victory with the Lord.
Do not listen to the T.V. Do not listen to the Arabs. You listen to God and you call upon God, and you call upon God, and you call upon God, and you call upon God, and you call upon God, and weapons that you do not know of will be released in the heavenlies. Angelic host will go forth. This battle will be won by you, my intercessors, in this nation. This battle will be won by those who hold unto the Lord in faith. I will release angelic forces that will turn the tides on this planet and it will come through the intercessions of the Daniels, of the Hannahs, of the Samuels who hear the Word of the Lord and not the word of the enemy, who believe in the Lord their God and trust what God is speaking into their hearts.
What you have to understand is that, yes, you are corporate; yes, you are part of the community. But this is an individual walk with God. You are the Moses; you are the Daniels; you are the Elijahs; you are the Samuels; you are the Deborahs of this generation. Do not listen to your leaders who prophesy doom and gloom. Do not hear those who do not hear God. But close yourselves in with the Almighty and commune, commune, commune, commune, commune, commune, commune, commune and hear the Word of the Lord poured into your heart and lavas and volcanoes of faith will rise within you. Weapons of war will come out of you that will destroy legions of the enemy.
For the battle truly is not yours; it is the Lord's. The Lord will do the fighting; the Lord will raise up the weapons; the Lord will do all of this. This is actually almost an effortless thing. When you channel into the flow of the Holy Ghost all things are possible. Things that can't happen, happen. Open your eyes and look; it will look like they cannot happen, but in the spirit, in the realm of God they've already happened.
Churchill stood in bombed out buildings proclaiming victory, shaking his fist at the German bombers overhead. He would climb to the tops of the buildings and see the bombers coming in to destroy London and he would shout at them, "Your day is coming; God will deal with you; God will deal with you; you will go down in defeat." And there were people dieing all around him, yet he was so locked into God. He knew there were casualties of war.
There will be casualties. There will be things that happen, but you must remain closeted with the Lord your God if you would have victory, if you would not be defeated, if you would walk through the coming days as an intercessor of God. Fields of gold lie ahead of you. You will walk in fields of gold, saith the Lord, the gold of the Spirit, the gold of the harvest of the things of God.
Closet yourself, I say. Do not isolate yourself. Remain in the body, but closet yourself with the Lord and hear what he says to you and then walk upon that. You can walk on the water if you hear the Lord, but you will never walk on the water hearing the other disciples. They have no power to put you upon the water; I do. I can put you where I put Churchill - defiant in the face of the enemy full of victory, full of power - if you do not trade it for the
advice of those around you.
There are defeatists in every nation, in every church, every party. They will counsel your defeat. They will say you cannot do this, but until heaven tells you, you cannot do it, it is a lie. I have always brought victory out of what is seemly hopeless defeat. When Sennacherib surrounded Jerusalem there was no hope; it was over. But one man walked into the king and said, "They're going to go back. They're all going back if you will serve the Lord." And true to the word of one man the armies retreated.
Don't tell me that I cannot do miraculous things with people who walk in defeat. There is no defeat in me. There is no depression in me. There is no loss of hope in me, saith the Lord. Come unto me and I will renew you and invigorate you and give you hope and strength, and you will walk above the filth of this world. You will walk in clouds of glory. You will walk in fields of gold with the Lord. Your armament will be shining and your sword will cut through the darkest of darkness, because it is not yours, it is mine. You have united yourself with me and I do not know defeat. I'm not afraid of a single demon. In me there is power.
Come unto me, saith the Lord. I'll give you rest; I'll give you strength; I'll give you victory. But it is only within me that you will find this. The naysayers will be with you; the defeatists will be around you; those that counsel will be around you and, oh their counsel seems so wise as times, but it is not the counsel of the Lord. Find the counsel of the Lord for your particular life and situation and then walk in it. Closet yourself with me. Do not separate yourself from everyone, but hold your own counsel, saith the Lord.
