16 The Lord said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided for Myself a king among his sons.

2 Samuel said, How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take a heifer with you and say, I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.

3 And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you.

4 And Samuel did what the Lord said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming and said, Have you come peaceably?

5 And he said, Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice. And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and called them to the sacrifice.

6 When they had come, he looked on Eliab (the eldest son) and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. But Samuel said, Neither has the Lord chosen this one.

9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. Samuel said, Nor has the Lord chosen him.

10 Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not chosen any of these.

11 Then (he) said to Jesse, Are all your sons here? (Jesse) said, There is yet the youngest; he is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for him; for we will not sit down to eat until he is here.

12 Jesse sent and brought him. David had a healthy reddish complexion and beautiful eyes, and was fine-looking. The Lord said (to Samuel), Arise, anoint him; this is he.

13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

Fortunately, the Lord sees the end from the beginning and knew that this young shepherd, one his father didn’t see fit to even name when Samuel asked if there was another son, let alone invite to the sacrifice with Samuel, would one day become the Great Unifier of Israel.

Most scholars believe that David was around 12-13 years old when he was first anointed to be king (I Sam 16). Yet, it would take around 30 years before he would be crowned king over all Israel.

He went from a lowly shepherd boy in Bethlehem, in the midst of lions, bears and wolves, to the destroyer of evil spirits in the King’s Court (I Sam 16), to the destroyer of giants at the age of 17 (I Sam 17), to the leader of a great army defeating Israel’s enemies (1 Sam 18), to the hunted hiding in the Cave at Adullam (I Sam 22:1-5).

Then, at around 35 he would be crowned King over Judah, and finally, 7 ½ years later, he would at last be crowned King over Israel (2 Sam 8). Of his many accomplishments, two stand above them all:

• Returning the nation to God by restoring the Ark to its rightful place at the center of its Capital with worship of the King of kings playing around the clock. (I Chronicles 15-16)
• Unifying the nation (2 Sam 8)

David would forever be memorialized as the Great Unifier of Israel, one nation, under God.

David was chosen by God for this purpose before he was ever knit within his mother’s womb. However, he was not the only one who needed preparation for the unification of a nation, the people of that nation needed it as well. They needed to see King Saul fall as he did, from one who led them in battle to one who hid from Goliath. From one who was anointed by God, to one who pursued the witch of Endor. From one who built a mighty army to a crazed man who used all of those resources to pursue the David, the one who saved them from being enslaved by the philistines. The nation had to see what they were being saved from.

David’s journey was one of rejection, mockery, and extensive wilderness periods where he faced isolation from family as a shepherd boy, and again, as a soldier on the run after a crazed King attempted to take his life, not once, but twice. He endured fierce battles—with both man and beast—all to prepare him to be God’s chosen vessel to unify the nation of Israel under God. He would expand Israel’s territory—that of the Covenant land—defeat the armies of the idolaters and bring forth the praises due to the One True God, the Lover of his soul.

In a National Geographic Article written in 2010, on the longevity of David’s reign in the hearts and minds of people across the religious and secular divide, the author writes, “David is revered by Israelis as the Father of Israel—the shepherd king anointed by God, and they, in turn, are his descendants and God’s Chosen People. To Muslims he is Daoud, the venerated emperor and servant of Allah. To Christians, he is the natural and spiritual ancestor of Jesus, who thereby inherits David’s Messianic Mantle.”

So, even in secular articles 3000 years later, David is still considered a Great Unifier.

I’m going to share a few quick words and visions the Lord gave me about our nation this week because the Lord is saying something for us as intercessors who refuse to look at what the world says and choose to view things through the lens of the Lord.

On the morning of May 24, 2025, in the spirit, I heard the stirrings of chaos in the streets. I saw the media attempt to provoke and divide the nation by race-baiting, class-baiting, and gender-baiting.

Little did I know, on May 24th, in Seattle, as Darrell mentioned on our call last night, an event sponsored by “Hands off our kids” (a group standing against the transing of our youth, gender ideology in schools, perversion in libraries, etc.) in partnership with several local churches, was held to support family, provide haircuts, clothes, prayer support, and so on.

Because Hands off our Kids, stands for God, and against gender ideology, antifa and transtifa surrounded the group, terrorizing families, abusing, exposing themselves in perverted ways, all to scare of the people of God. Some were left untouched, others were attacked, spit on, some even had water balloons full of urine thrown at them. Many were injured, some were hospitalized, several were arrested. Still, Christians stood for truth.

The NEXT DAY…Mayor Harrell released a statement condemning the Christians for daring to challenge Seattle’s values…and I quote:

So, basically, Mayor Harrell blamed the Christians for the persecution and abuse they received!

On May 25, 2025, I was praying for President Trump and the words “President Trump, the Great Unifier” scrolled in front of my eyes like it was on a marque in Times Square. Then I saw the same Eagle the Lord showed me in 2020, flying once again, holding the Flag, with the weights bearing it down.

For the Lord to bring this Word and this vision forth at this point in my week became a key to bringing all these events together as a revelation of God’s Prophetic Timeline and the agenda He is bringing into place here in our nation. The enemy is exposing himself.

Tuesday, May 26, one of our leaders texted me and asked me if I thought this Diddy trial was part of the “media” weight coming down. If you are not aware, this Diddy trial is already exposing Hollywood and the entertainment industry, the human trafficking within it, and the corruption surrounding it all. It’s the entertainment industry’s version of the Epstein case.

Then I saw it…that weight…the media, it came loose! The Eagle jolted, and the weight began to fall! My response was a resounding YES!

On Tuesday, May 27, in Seattle, a Rattle in Seattle rally was held in response to Mayor Harrell’s statement after that Saturday Rally. To bring those who are not in the area up to speed, Washington has determined that they will continue, regardless of what President Trump says, regardless of what the vast majority of American’s have said, to support the leftist ideology. What kind of ideology? Transgender surgeries for minors, LGTBQ+ material in schools, perversion in libraries, gender equality, DEI, all cultural Marxist, social justice movements that bring devastation and destabilization to nations. Christians are standing against this and bringing the Gospel straight into the lion’s den! Prayer is crucial, but there are those God is calling to take a stand against the depravity.

Again, the mayor dug his heels in to support depravity. The left saw this as an assault on their ‘values’ rather than a stand to protect our children.

One wonders why in the world did they go into the heart of the city? What is at the heart of Seattle?

Lawlessness. God wants to restore us as a nation under the Rule of Law. Seattle has lawless roots. I know, City Hall is there, the mayor’s office is there, Seattle Police Department is there, but lawlessness? Yes, lawlessness. The roots run deep, and it’s been allowed by corrupt leaders for far too long. In 2020, this is where the autonomous zone aka CHOP, later renamed “CHAZ” set up their “Summer of Love” as part of the protests occurring after the death of George Floyd. CHAZ was a collaborative effort to protest the police, government, and all authorities. They had a militarized zone set up complete with armed, militia-style guards set at every entrance of that encampment. No could enter without their self-proclaimed leader, Raz Simone’s permission. City and State authorities claimed it was “mostly peaceful” and condemned President Trump and conservatives across the country for raising concerns and voicing what, in the end, turned out to be true, lawlessness begets violent crime. An internal memo was even sent out through Seattle PD stating that “unless there was a mass casualty situation, they would not enter CHAZ.” It was not until someone died, and two others almost died because CHAZ militia refused to allow emergency personnel access to their Autonomous Zone that it was finally brought down. But the roots of lawlessness remain.

Undercover journalists went into this CHAZ and reported that rapes, drug use, and violent assaults were a daily part of life in this compound, but until someone lost their life, those who had the power refused to allow the police to intervene.

This mayor, and Washington’s governor, boast the same ideology Obama and Biden did. I’m not picking on Washington, my governor Gavin Newsom, isn’t any better. San Franciso, once a sought-after tourist site, today stands as a vacuum for drugs, homelessness, and degeneracy. It reeks of sin, depravity, and hopelessness. Pelosi is the Representative of the area and Newsom, her nephew, was the mayor during this key spiral into darkness. This is what happens when lawlessness abounds. The sad thing is, until the people are ready, they simply will not partake or embrace in the solutions.

On May 27, 2025, nearly 2000 miles away, in Texas a 18-year-old Karmello Anthony—who admitted to stabbing Austin Metcalf, a football player in the heart on a football field back in April when he was asked to leave an area he should not have been in—has been charged for his murder. He was 17 at the time, but it was announced May 27th that he will be tried as an adult. The victim is white; the accused is black. The left has raised half a million dollars for the accused before he was even charged. He is being treated like a victim in this case.

Race-baiters were all over the media citing the injustice of the law in arresting him, while at the same time citing the legality of him bringing a knife to a high school football game in Texas! They are trying to provoke chaos even now. And if he’s convicted, we risk chaos in the streets as he will be labeled a victim of a justice system that is steeped in systemic racism.

Will race-baiters use riots, sit-ins, chaos, to overthrow the Rule of Law? History has shown that at every turn, they try.

On May 28, 2025, I had a vision of the various generations “Millennials”, “Gen X”, “Gen Z”, “Gen Alpha” and they were floating around aimlessly. They had roots dangling from their feet. They floated across the land, up and down, back and forth, never able to anchor themselves to anything substantial. Those roots dangling from their feet would stretch down as they approached the ground, just to try and take root in a cause, only to be pulled back up by a gust of wind that pulled them in toward another cause. They were lost, they thought they had purpose, but they were truly lost because the very thing they longed for, a sense of purpose and connection, was neither grounded nor founded in Truth. They were without a nation, and most importantly, they were without God.

The Left which totes the Communists playbook, prey on these young people. Many are labeled Social Justice Warriors, but in either case, they become the manpower behind the movements Communists initiate to destabilize nations. This is the Cultural Marxist or Communist way. It’s essentially the path of a bloodless war. Communists infiltrate the schools, indoctrinate the children, turn them away from God, family, and country, then use them to overthrow God, their family, and their nation. They further divide them from each other with labels, generational separation markers, gen x, gen z, gen alpha, and so on.

Influencers then introduce new verbiage that only that generation understands. We’ve all seen it: “cool” became “hot” then “fine, then “tight” and “gas” and now, gen alpha says “rizz” or “sigma”. We laugh, but it restricts communication flow when we don’t know the lingo. Thankfully for me, my grandsons happily translate for me. We are working to be bridge builders between generations, to unify what the enemy is trying so hard to divide.

We see this with President Trump and his son Barron. God granted Melania (who in an interview confessed that they did not know even if they would be able to conceive) and President Trump the gift of a son in his older years. He is a great joy to him, but God has used Barron to bridge that gap between Trump and this younger generation in a time when the younger generation may not be aware of his decades as such a profound cultural icon. He helped President Trump communicate with the younger generation throughout the 2024 Campaign season, and the beauty of this is that President Trump listened to his son, trusting him. Together, they are bridging the gap between the generations.

I believe we need to pray for those who can bridge the gap between the generations and bring our youth back under the covering of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, mentors and so on. Let them hear about the true history of our nation, personal experiences, and so on. They need direction, connection, and they need to be prepared to be unified as a nation.

King David, before he was king, drew in the disconnected, the disjointed, and the aimless and formed an army with them. They only needed direction, and David guided them on a path that would enable them to be on the ground floor of unifying a nation. They became a loyal army, and with that army he fought to survive the war Saul waged against him. In the end, together, they unified the nation of Israel.

The trials and tribulations he faced refined him and prepared him to be one of the greatest kings of all time. The Psalms record his triumphs and his defeats, the moments he felt deeply crushed by the weight of the battle, and yet still rejoiced over the victory he had yet to see realized. The Hebrew commentators describe how David hung his harp over his bed at night, and the north wind would blow into his room strumming the strings of that harp. It would gently sound awakening David to the call of the Lord to come and be in Him. When the people heard David pursuing the Lord, they too would arise to pursue Him. Through his pursuit of God, amid the good and the painful, David would learn of the wonders of creation, the revelation of the Messiah, and everything in between. This is a King who turned Israel back to God!

God met David in his pursuit and poured Himself down upon His willing vessel. We love David because we know the ending of his story and the powerful call upon his life as fulfilled in Scripture. Would we have loved that ruddy 13-year-old as he ran from the sheepfold to meet Samuel?

In 1983, on the other side of the world Tom Zimmer, a devout hermit living in Italy, attending 5 prayer meetings a day, was told by the Lord that Donald J Trump would lead America back to God. With great shock that, in his response to the Lord, “Donald J Trump, the American Playboy?” would be used by God to turn the nation back to Him, he shared with a few but tucked that away in his heart and prayed into the matter knowing it was pivotal.

In 2007, Kim Clement said that Trump would be a Trumpet, God’s Trumpet to defeat the enemies of God. Later, he was told by the Lord that Trump would be President, a two-term President.

In 2012, the Lord told Mom that Trump would be President.

In 2015, Kim Clement and Lance Wallanau met with Trump to pray over him and essentially anoint him.

In 2016, Donald J Trump won the presidency—a little over 30 years from the time this was first prophesied.

Trump is like David, a unifier who likely didn’t understand that call at that time, lived nearly 30 years after it was prophesied awaiting the fulfilment of their destiny. Meanwhile, God was the preparing the nations they would lead.

“President Trump, the Great Unifier”

President Trump experienced great successes and failures in his lifetime as well. He’s experienced two divorces, financial devastation, he reached great heights and unbelievable lows in his life, and all of them very public. I think at times, we may forget, that in spite of these personal failures, the media, Hollywood, every generation, every race, every class, all saw him as a cultural icon, someone to aspire to… until he came down that escalator in 2015 as a Republican. It was at that moment that he became the Trumpet in the hands of the Lord and everyone who once revered him turned against him.

To be honest, I was not immediately on board when I heard him speak of being president in the 1990s on the Ophrah Winfrey and Phil Donahue shows. Everything he said made sense, but his reputation preceded him.

Today, I love him as a brother because I see him through the lens of the Lord. I see his calling, and he truly is called to be God’s Trumpet to expose the enemies of the Lord. We know his failures, but his successes, in the end, will far outweigh any personal failings he experienced. I share this again because as the summer continues and some of these potential chaos inducers rear their gnarly heads, it is important to stay focused and in faith, do not enter into fear. In fact, fight against the enemy in prayer on a continuous basis.

Remember, the Lord says “President Trump, the Great Unifier” and we must stay on the Lord’s side of history. And we are close.

Remember the vision I had in September of 2020? The Eagle, the Flag and those 5 weights pulling it down.

• Media
• Academia
• Bloodletting (abortion/human trafficking)
• Religion
• Communism

We’ve spent 30 years learning how corrupt these weights really are, and how thoroughly Communist they’ve become. The exposure of chaos inducers and provocateurs has been necessary.

The Lord calls them the weapons of division. But just like the Lord said, the media –Hollywood, news, entertainment, it’s all coming down! Let’s look at some examples of how they are coming down so we can hold onto this as we pray these chaos inducers down this summer.

• Media – Diddy trial, Hollywood, the entertainment industry, MSM’s constant on President Trump and extreme biased coverage, only enhanced by their refusal to cover Biden’s obvious decline throughout his presidency, is revealing this bias like never before! These are merely activists provoking young social justice warriors to be vessels of chaos and their time has come to an end! The Media weight is about to fall!!
• Academia—Harvard has been raising up an army of activists for decades, from media to judges, and their funding is being pulled right out from underneath them! The Board of Education funnels the communist directives like George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth and it is coming down too!
• Bloodletting (abortion/human trafficking) with the fall of Roe v Wade and the exposure of the abortion industry being the instrument of population control, we can see it coming down as state legislatures are falling in line with the protection of life! The exposure of the tragic consequences of an open border revealing the modern-day slavery and the horrific crime of rape and torture of children, the heartbreak of 300K children lost at our border, these revelations are significant to bringing the weight of bloodletting down!
• Religion—I spoke about this a couple months ago, the great separation of the Ecclesia rising and the compromised falling, this will bring this weight down too!
• Communism – the democrat party, the one Biden said he represents, the one that unleashed a wave of horrific policies upon our nation, it’s coming down too! The Communist/Democrat party is coming down!

Why, because the Hammer of Justice is falling upon each and every one!

 
As these systems fall, the spirit of communism that has been over our nation since they read the 45 Goals of Communism into our Library of Congress in 1963, will come down too!

Their divisive means will fall!

Their generational separation agenda will fall!

The heart of the fathers will reunite with their children.

And, in its place, a new breed of Americans is and will continue to arise! And this nation that we love because the Lord has called us to be a Nation under God, will rise as a Father to the Nations. We will be a righteous, God-fearing nation!

How do I know this? Because Ecclesiastes 1:9 tells us that there is nothing new under the sun. The example of what God did as Saul sought to divide the nation and David was called to be the Great Unifier of Israel, and 3000 years later that label still stands, gives us a Biblical example of what God is doing in America today.

“Hold on tight, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride” was the Word of the Lord in January! Why? God has not only been preparing President Trump to Unify this nation, but He’s been preparing the nation, to be restored a unified nation. To be unified, we need to eject that which brings division. That takes time and prayer. Stand strong my friends. God will see us through, and these bumps are going to make us a stronger nation that has as part of its spiritual Dome, a barrier against Communism. As Communism falls in America, its hold over other nations will come down too!

Blessings In Him,
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
