Let me ask you some questions, and I want you to really think about them as I do.

Did you know that on the day you were conceived, the heavens rejoiced because an intercessor was knit in its mother’s womb? Do you know God knew you before then? And, that He called you to be an intercessor to the nation? (Jeremiah 1:5) Did you know that every moment of your life was known before you were even conceived? Did you know that every victory, every tear, every wilderness, every storm, every joy, every spiritual growth spurt and equipping that resulted from each of those seasons was known by the Lord before you were even conceived?

Do you realize that regardless of when you were born, the Lord slowly edged us closer together until we found ourselves here, in 2026, within our own tribe, seeking the face of God to save a nation?

Finally, do you believe that God knew we could keep this nation together despite the enemy’s efforts to fracture us, while he tries to rip the nation in pieces?

The Lord created President Trump for this same season. He knew that Trump would not back down in his role to save a nation. He was indeed born for such a time as this, created and chosen to wrest America from the grip of the Cabal.

This is not new, Cyrus was born to release the Jewish people to rebuild the Temple. Daniel, as a prophetic intercessor who, despite his captivity and the looming death threats, kept his ear tuned to the voice and Word of the Lord. This enabled him to view history through the lens of the Lord. So, when Cyrus came to power, the scribes tell us that Daniel showed him the scroll of Isaiah where he was called by name 150 years earlier to set the captives free. He likely showed him the scroll of Jeremiah as it prophetically declares the timeline. What a confirmation for this king to receive!

In 2026, the Lord strategically insured we were in place for this momentous time in our history. It’s not a pretty process, but it is necessary! What happens with America impacts the world and God planned everything beautifully. Yes, there is chaos in the streets, lawlessness is running rampant with riots or “peaceful protests” rising in the nation, but God has a plan. The enemy thinks he’s winning, he wants to take us into the end-times, but God is stirring up revival. This is not just any revival; it’s a revival empowered by the Awakening.

This is one of the most important times in our history. The Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the War for the Soul of the Nation will be three of the most critical seasons in our history. The fact that this last one is occurring on our 250th Anniversary is no coincidence. The enemy knows, but more importantly, God knows the significance of the hour.

The Lord created Donald John Trump as a modern-day Cyrus. He was created to stand in the gap between the Elite and the American people with the goal of wresting America from the grip of their communist tyranny and give a restored Constitutional Republic back to the American people as demonstrated by His speech and actions at Davos.

God raises up prophets, intercessors and political figures to work alongside each other, one works in the physical realm, one works in the spiritual realm. Why? To ensure His heavenly will is done here on earth.

How we respond in this hour is key to our future. Will we be tossed to and fro? Or will we stand strong? Will we be influenced or distracted by fear-driven, anger-inducing, anxiety-ridden internet videos or will we stand firm and pray?

With the advent of the internet, the faith community reluctantly nudged its way into the incredibly fast moving, ever demanding expanse of the interwebs. I say “interwebs” because it’s a sticky mess that often entraps those listening as well as those broadcasting into a content-making frenzy. It can be quite profitable, alluring even for Christians. A million live streamers, for example, can net you about $15K a day and that adds up quickly.

Companies such a Google, Microsoft, Instagram, TikTok and Telegram, and so on, work the algorithm game to push narratives, distract us, fracture us, and keep us busy on our devices.

There are several reasons for this:

My concerns today are grounded in the last two. As I’ve shared before, the average non-work, non-school time spent in the interwebs every day is 7 hours and 58 minutes. That’s across all demographics. My mom shared many years ago that technology is designed to sever the soul from the spirit, where the Spirit of God resides, and pull us away from Him. So, if one-third of our lives is spent in a system designed to separate us from God, how can we effectively hear and discern His voice amid the chaos? That’s not just eight hours of social media influence penetrating our hearts and minds in worldly ways, that’s eight hours of separating our spirit and soul and inserting an antichrist system.

Even if it is only Christian stuff, internet prophets, the news. That’s still eight hours of outside influence and noise immersed in a system designed by the enemy to distract us from hearing the voice of the Lord.

I’ve shared this before, but it bears repeating, Dr. Don Crum who worked in the Pentagon reports that 90-95% of what we consume on the internet is either disinformation or misinformation, intentionally designed to keep us distracted. So, a third of our lives is spent consuming their disinformation campaigns. In January 2024, he said the Church needs to get off the internet and back to prayer because we were going to need God-directed strategies for the days ahead. This includes that content we might consider “God-breathed.” There is a strategic and targeted deception meant to distract and divide the people of God. And it’s happening right now on the interwebs, and many do not even know it’s happening to them.

Whether you’ve joined a Joel’s Army prayer cell or come on our calls, when you come here to pray you are joining a specialized group of prophetic intercessors who were created by the Lord to wrest America from the grip of the Elite and ensure revival comes to the nation before war. This is not hyperbole, it’s truth. It was born out of a vision my mother had of shields pressed down into the tectonic plates to stabilize the nation.

I believe we have two things many Christians do not understand. First, because of the level of repentance we engage in, the Lord inclines His ear to our prayers, and in return, He speaks Divine revelation to guide us as we wrest America from the grip of the Elite.

Some were created to be prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers, evangelists, worship leaders, but some were created to be intercessors. Within that group we find the prophetic intercessor. They are key to releasing His heavenly will here on earth. We have to walk that calling out in faith my friends, and our faith is currently being challenged.

We need Divine strategy to win this war against the enemy. If, however, we pursue strategy from the interwebs, we will not only be distracted, but it will create confusion and misdirection in the coming days.

That hits the core of the issue at hand.

With the advent of the internet, and the church’s entrance into it, we have the explosion of “internet prophets” (the Lord’s word for them, not mine.) And when crisis inevitably arises, the people of God flock to the internet prophets to hear what they are saying. This often results in anxiety, fear, depression, hopelessness, even anger. It’s like doomscrolling. Not all voices who title themselves “prophets” are actually prophets. Some may carry the gift of prophecy, but Paul teaches us in Romans 11:29 that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. In other words, they have the gifting, but if they don’t receive and actively pursue the love of the truth as Paul teaches in 2 Thessalonians 2:10, they prophesy for profit, not purity, they prophecy for man, not God. This leads to a misuse of the gifting they were born with. They misuse it for popularity, outside pressure, even personal gain. Whatever the reason, they ultimately lie on God to remain relevant. If they remain unrepentant, this opens the door to the demonic influences.

This is how diviners get their start. We see examples of this in Scripture:

Acts 16:16-18 On Paul’s second missionary journey they arrived in Philippi. Each day as he went to prayer, he was followed by a slave girl who kept crying out: “These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.” It was a true revelation that she declared. The Bible tells us however, that she was possessed with a spirit of divination. The Greek word here is puthon, meaning “a python.” We may read it as a little victim, and she likely was, but she was possessed by a powerful spirit. The spirit of python agitated and distracted Paul and his team as they went to prayer for days before he turned and commanded it to leave in the name of Jesus. That spirit could speak truth, but it sought to stifle Paul’s prayer life.

Now, the spirit of python likely took up residence in this slave girl because she was gifted with a gift of prophecy. Remember, Romans 11:29 tells us the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. What does this mean? We are born with these gifts. If we repent, we use them for the Kingdom of Heaven. If we do not, we use them for the kingdom of darkness. We don’t know exactly what led to this, but somehow, her gift became used for monetary gain, and she became possessed by the spirit of python. What does a python do? It operates by putting a stranglehold on its victims. It uses partial truths and deception to silence, drain our attention, resources, energy, and even impact their voice.

Our next example is the gift of prophecy used to influence the political realm.

Acts 13:6-11 Paul and Barnabas were on their first missionary journey. They arrived at Salamis (on the island of Cyprus) and were preaching the Word of God. In this day, it was not uncommon for rulers to rely on magicians and soothsayers for guidance. Here, there were two who had political influence. Bar-Jesus, a false prophet, and Elymas, a sorcerer. The Bible tells us they were closely associated with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man who called to hear from Barnabas and Saul. Elymas was present as they shared the Gospel with Sergius Paulus, and he withstood the voice of the Lord the entire time Paul delivered the Gospel message. The Lord revealed this spirit to Paul, and not only did he rebuke him, but he also declared he’d be blind for a season, it was effective immediately.

This revelation and the judgment upon Elymas opened the eyes of Sergius Paulus and marked a tremendous breakthrough in bringing the Gospel into the Roman administration.

This really could have gone one of two ways:

The false prophet and sorcerer could have convinced Sergius Paulus to reject the Gospel Truth thereby influencing that region with even greater witchcraft and deception than it was already wrapped up in.

-Or-

God could have intervened through Paul (as He did) and used this situation to blind the enemy and open the eyes of this Roman leader.

Sometimes we read the Bible, and it reads like a newspaper, and we take it in as such. But this was real, it is full of truth and revelation and how the Gospel spread in the early Church. This is our “origin story”! The Truth in His Word, and the retelling of these historical events, help solidify the impact of God on a person, a community, and a region. Viewing history through the lens of the Word of God ignites our faith and causes the event to pierce our heart and mind with the Truth enabling us to walk with a Biblical worldview.

To grasp the significance of this encounter let’s consider the historical records of Cyprus:

The Roman world was ripe with idolatry and witchcraft. It was deeply integrated into every aspect of their politics and culture. Rituals involved public perversion and decadence. It reached into the workplace, the community, even food preparation involved sacrifice to Roman gods. A person who became a Christian in this realm struggled to survive because they would not engage in the worship of false gods.

So, again, we must consider the significance of this encounter! These false prophets and sorcerers, possessed with demonic entities, were living their best life on an island of decadence, until God sent Paul and Barnabas to bring forth His heavenly will into the earth. This encounter shifted the course of history in this region. How many more came to the Lord because this leader and his entire family became Christians? How different was his rule as a result? How different were the lives of those living in his realm? How much freedom did they walk in? This little island, once a hotbed of lude and lascivious activity, could now walk in the freedom of the living God! On top of that, their leader could tap into Godly wisdom as he navigated his leadership in the Roman world. Paul saw through the deception and broke it off this man and his realm.

In Acts 15 Paul and Barnabas part ways over a dispute. Paul went one way, but Barnabas went back to Cyprus. God sent him here to disciple new believers. I often wonder if God led him back here to also disciple Sergius Paulus.

Understand, God raises up prophetic voices to impart truth and enable us to view history through the lens of the Lord rather than our own. However, it is critical we are able to recognize when the word of the Lord is pure and when it’s compromised.

In the Old Covenant, Biblical guidelines when dealing with false prophets and influencers in the political realm is even more specific. These contain strong warnings to those who not only speak false prophecy but those who heed it:

Jeremiah 23:9-32 speaks of prophets who speak from their own hearts (v. 16), who lie in the name of God (vs. 25-27) and who steal prophecy (30). He’s not just addressing the popular prophetic voices that tickle their ears, he is addressing those who heed their words as well. Why? These men are influencing the nation into a state of apathy and delusion instead of calling them to repent and return (vs. 16-22), they are sending them down a path of destruction (vs. 14). The prophets are pulling the people out of the will of God for the nation, and the people, who lack discernment, are eating up every word.

Hananiah released a series of prophetic words that “tickled the people’s ears”. He even used theatrics breaking the wooden yoke off Jeremiah to symbolize the breaking of King Nebuchadnezzar’s yoke off the neck of nations within two years. However, his theatrics provided the stage for the Lord to finally deal with his pattern of false prophecy to both the king and the priests. Instead of a yoke of wood, they, as a nation, would be forced to submit to a yoke of iron under King Nebuchadnezzar. Instead of repentance, Hananiah prophesied victory. This cost the Southern Kingdom their freedom, and it cost Hananiah his life because He lied on God.

This is the Biblical groundwork for the core of this message.

Searching for the Voice of the Lord Amid Chaos

There are two things that influenced and fractured the prophetic community over the last two years. Couple these with the third major issue and we have a severely fractured church. As a result, confusing messages are going out to the church on these topics, and we are losing sight of critical issues.

1) October 7th – this will go down in history as one of the most tragic days in Israel’s history. The attack on Israel was a violent, horrific act of the most grotesque acts of violence against men, women and children. If they had released the footage from Hamas, the world would have stood with them. They did not want to expose the horrors done to their people and shame them and their families further. If they had leveled Gaza on October 8th, I think the world would have understood. However, because they wanted to get their people back, and the fear of public opinion which so quickly turns on Israel, they took a slow and methodic approach. Antisemitic rhetoric increased, and now Jews are being persecuted. What’s worse, the conservative movement and even worse than that, the Church have become very fractured over Israel. Why? Because the people of God are not seeking God.

2) The assassination of Charlie Kirk—this served as a catalyst for many very unfortunate things. Social media influencers who have no investigative skills or legal expertise, used his assassination to boost their channels and push antisemitic rhetoric to new heights. It became an obsession. They drew upon the 90-95% of online misinformation and disinformation meant to deceive and distract us, and used their social media influence to sway public opinion on this issue. And they were very successful. Antisemitism rose. There was another fracturing within the conservative base, including the church. The attacks against Erika and TPUSA were merciless, and they even went so far as to say Trump was in on it! As absurd as all of this is, the Church became fractured on this. Why? Because the people of God are not seeking God! (Note: If you want to know how the Lord sees this situation and what killed Charlie, you can read or listen to what the Lord gave me the morning of his murder “Charlie Kirk, God’s Marker of Love for a Nation” on our website.)

Prophetic voices then came out and supported social media narratives instead of confronting them as deceptive. In addition, since we are distracted by the first two, we are not pressing in and fighting to see what the Lord is giving us in this hour. What is that? The exposure!

3) The Current Chaos-Minnesota Fraud- we are witnessing another fracturing amid this Minnesota fraud exposure. Why? It’s not just American citizens committing the fraud, its illegal aliens which required ICE to get involved. Whenever ICE or the police are involved, the social justice warriors arise, then chaos ensues. We saw the template for it in 2020; it was the police who were vilified. Remember the “defund the police” rhetoric? Incidentally, this is the same city that ignited a firestorm across the nation over George Floyd. Same mayor, same governor. Every deep blue city erupted, and we ended up with Chaz, the autonomous zone in Seattle, filled with social justice warriors. We have serious corruption to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. In the Year of Open Books, this is the time the Lord designated for exposure. MN is not just part of the corruption; it’s a template of corrupt hubs around the country! Many churches today have fully embraced the social justice movement, so we are witnessing yet another fracturing because the people of God are not seeking God for truth.

With these three things, a great fracturing has taken place in the Church.

2026, the Year of Open Books! Didn’t the Lord say this is the year of open books? Why are we surprised and then offended when chaos erupts as the fraud is being exposed and people are held accountable? The Church should be crying out for God’s justice, instead, they are crying out for social justice. The Church has grown soft on serious issues. We need to stand up and fight through prayer, to see the will of the Lord accomplished in the earth. The responsibility of the prophetic voice is to release truth, cut through the deception, and then strengthen and mature the Church!

It is important that we acknowledge that many of these fracture points, center around the Church body. God’s candlesticks are being examined even now, and they are embracing social justice over God’s justice. My heart is breaking over this issue because I know God is going to deal with this too! It will be painful. Why? Because the people of God have not sought the voice of God amid the chaos!

These fractures I mentioned above have opened the Church up to doubt, deception, and even delusion on critical issues.

This includes the internet prophets (I’m not trying to offend, but this is God’s title for them, not mine). When He refers to someone who is pure, he always says My anointed or My prophet. So, within one of those fractures, we have one in which the enemy is working overtime. This involves J.D. Vance. Again, at the heart of the fracture, is the church via the prophetic movement. I am sure the Lord is allowing this to purify the prophetic movement because for Him to refer to them as “internet prophets” tells me they are prophesying for the internet, not for Him. That does not mean all of what they say is false. Some is accurate. The problem comes in the mixture.

I have serious concerns over some of the messages released recently about President Trump and J.D. Vance. After meeting with our team, we agreed, we must address some of them because our intercessors are dealing with uncertainty about the future and it’s difficult to pray if we are feeling insecure and uncertain as to what God is saying and the direction He is leading us as prophetic intercessors.

There are three recent words/dreams released by three separate “internet prophets” which concern me. They all have similar points so I will summarize:

If any of this were true, it would imply that Trump himself is compromised. Why? Because he would have had to agree to having a deep state player in his administration and he understands the seriousness of this hour, it’s make or break time for our nation.

If you have heard these and believed them, please know, you are not being judged or condemned here, and you are not alone. I am here to share what the Lord has shown us here at World for Jesus to comfort your heart and give you faith to pray according to God’s directives.

Next week I am going to share ways that we can discern whether a prophetic word is actually a prophetic word and how to discern and protect yourself from inaccurate, fractured, or false prophecy.

Why is this important for us today?

I felt the need to remind you; the Lord brought us together to do something unique. We are created and called to repent, to stand in the gap, and to, as prophetic intercessors, do the spiritual work necessary to enable the men and women God ordained to handle the physical work.

I asked many questions at the beginning of this message to encourage you to consider your own call. To ignite in your heart that knowing if you will, that you have been created by God to be an intercessor and since you’ve answered the call, to serve as a reminder that God equips His own for their call and commission. As you endure through prayer and the Word, trials and tribulations, even trips and falls, the tools placed within you before you were born are activated and rise to the surface to be locked in place for such a time as this.

In addition, the Lord told mom it’s critical that we pray into the prophetic words the Lord gives us. It creates a fence around the word to protect it. This is why you hear our team pray into prophetic words, dreams, and visions the Lord has given. We are creating a fence of protection around what God is birthing in this hour. That said, I’m going to share a couple things the Lord gave me about J.D. Vance to comfort your heart and help you pray a fence around him. The enemy is trying to take him out through this fracturing of the Church on the issue of J.D. Vance and through the Christian witchcraft released when we agree with and repeat what has been spoken against him. This is very serious. In addition, I’ll share a vision the Lord gave me about Trump that fits in this hour. We are also posting several visions Mom had onto our website so you can print them out and pray into them as well. Joel’s Army has been created for this time in history, to pray through God’s plans and purposes while Trump/Vance roll it out in the natural.

I was watching the interview Joe Rogan did with J.D. Vance. As I watched this 3-hour interview, I listened to J.D. articulate many things that Trump did during his first term along with the plans and platform of his second term. He answered legal questions regarding many issues that no one else has answered for us, explaining barriers Trump faced in trying to implement policy and the success he had because of those he successfully implemented.

As the interview entered its third hour, I had a vision of J.D. Vance. I saw him in a true partnership with President Trump. He had his arms out like a man does when he’s dancing with a woman, and Trump was there, shining, feverishly working to do everything God created him to do for our nation. J.D.’s stance served as the ironclad frame, designed by God to support him in his Presidency and allow him to thrive. His heart was pure toward Trump, like a son who adored his dad, he lifted him up into the presidency, supported him, and served as a true strength and advocate on his behalf.

The vision ended.

I was standing in an ornately decorated, historic room. The walls, the doors, they were all beautifully decorated with solid wood, it looked like mahogany. I saw men and women entering into one of these gorgeous doors. As their hand reached the knob, I noted that while the door was beautiful, the knob was corrupted. It was not round, it seemed alive, like a magical stone. The metal moved as though it were alive, it had bits that glowed and hissed. I saw men and women enter, talks would ensue but all I could hear was mumbling, then the door would open, and the person would come out. Some came out looking possessed, others completely broken, but the results were similar; they all began implementing destructive policies over this nation, even things that would impact other nations.

This happened again and again.

Then, the Lord came onto the scene. With a single word “ENOUGH!” He swung the door open wide. When He did, the knob screamed and disintegrated, and light penetrated the room. People began to flood out; they literally poured out of the room toppling over each other like a cartoon. I did not realize there were so many situated within this corrupted space.

The Lord walked in and began taking books off the shelves, there were hundreds, maybe more. He carried them out, several at a time and laid them on a series of tables in a room that had been prepared for this very thing.

I saw flashes of light and realized journalists were there, capturing the moment.

Cash Patel, Dan Bongino (note, I know Bongino resigned, but this does not negate or diminish his impact on his portion of the exposure while he was there) Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem, RFK, Marco Rubio appeared on the scene. Finally, J.D. Vance entered the room. The Lord stood next to him, His—the Lord’s—authority was upon J.D. for this moment. He was filled with passion as he began to speak, “ladies and gentlemen, I present to you” he waved his hand across the books and continued “the TRUTH!” and when he did, all at once, the BOOKS WERE OPENED! The pages began to turn rapidly like a fan, the reporters scrambled to keep up with the turning pages. It was impossible.

The headlines that very day “Backroom Deals Exposed. The BOOKS ARE OPEN!”

And I woke up.

There was a heavy atmosphere in my room as I awoke

One more…

In 2017, I had a vision of Trump. He was standing in the center of the nation. The nation had sunk down about four feet. He grabbed hold of a huge chain and began pulling it up. It took him a long time, he worked feverishly. He’d taken his jacket off, rolled up his sleeves and was determined to get to the end of that chain. Finally, he did, and at the end of the chain, there was a huge steel rod. He pulled that rod up and I saw a place already prepared for it next to him. He put the rod in position and turned it slightly to lock it in place. He stepped back and said “There, that should do it!” He stepped back, looked up, and smiled.

The Lord said this was a Rod of Righteousness being placed in our nation. This brings a Standard of Righteousness, one that will stabilize us in difficult times.

The image panned back and I could see the work that he had done, it did not just take us up the four feet to ground level, it took us up four additional feet above ground level.

-End-

There is a work being done in our nation through these two men and the enemy is trying to divide the church, fracture the prophetic voices, fracture the intercessors, and stop what can only be done through the partnership of His Spirit working through His intercessors so that Trump and Vance can accomplish what they’ve been created to accomplish for the nation. We move side by side, the intercessors accomplishing our part in the spirit through prayer which then enables the Trump Administration to accomplish what needs to be done in the natural. We are working to move in accordance with God’s heavenly will. This is the essence of Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

I spent three days seeking the Lord about this after hearing what the recent “internet prophets” gave. Through this, the Lord has solidified in me that J.D. Vance will be instrumental in wresting America from the grip of the Cabal. Make no mistake. God created him for this, he is being used to expose corruption, and like Trump, he has been created to raise a standard of righteousness in the nation. The enemy is attempting to fracture the intercessors and the prophetic community on this issue because we are in the process of such a deep level of exposure.

The books are being opened and what we are seeing today is a template for cities across the nation. Darrell shared this last night in his good news report. Nick Shirley calls them hubs; they are hubs of corruption. This corruption is driven by the Elite, and it is destroying the country and it’s time to bring it all down! In addition, with Trump’s message at DAVOS, and his efforts to pull our nation out of so many Cabal-run institutions, the enemy is going to increase the attacks against both he and Vance to try and stop the momentum. We cannot allow this to occur, through our intercession, we are the like the driving force of a God-driven momentum. Our responsibility is to stay the course, prevent the fracturing, to seek the voice of the Lord amid the chaos, as we trust God that 26 years of intercession have paved the way for us to witness the exposure, the chaos, the clean-up, and the restoration as we weep and war for the soul of the nation.

In the next couple weeks, I‘m going do part two and possibly three of this message where I’ll discuss the call of the prophet, discernment in terms of prophecy, how to recognize true prophetic words and provide a fence around them as intercessors.

Remember, our goal is to find the still small voice of the Lord amid the chaos, and then pray that through to victory! Then, together, we will succeed!

Much love,

Ricci Johnson-Wilson
