Subject: The Importance of the Hour

Will the Watchmen Heed the Call?

Friends and Intercessors, last week I shared a dream the Lord gave me along with a warning from the Lord on the crisis our nation is in. “The Importance of the Hour” conveys not just a dream, but the heart-cry of the Lord’s watchmen fighting to birth His heavenly will here on earth. Together, we are fighting for this nation in prayer. We are fighting for justice and righteousness to reign. We are fighting for this next generation to grow up in a nation wherein political rhetoric, and conspiracy theories do not dominate airwaves, podcasts, or classrooms. We are fighting for a place wherein the people of God focus more on prayer and the Word of God than they do on social media posts.

We are fighting for a time, wherein Truth can reign over narratives.

In light of a third, highly planned assassination on our President, I find that message—shared below—even more pertinent for us as intercessors. I remind you, we are the watchmen on the wall, and Saturday, the shofar was blown from atop the walls of our nation, how many heard the cry of the ram’s horn? And, how many will heed that cry?

It would be easy to dismiss this event by declaring Cole Allen, a troubled young man who attempted to assassinate President Trump, but here’s the thing, this young man was not troubled, he was well educated, had an engineering background, and ultimately became a trusted educator of our youth. However, years of fabricated lies spun and released over the interwebs by legacy media, podcasters, and politicians who hate President Trump had their effect and Cole felt he had no other choice but to take matters into his own hands, become the hero, and rid America of the entire Trump administration—with the exception of Kash Patel. Reading his manifesto is like read from the vilest talking points of both legacy media and alt-right media. These were the very same concerns I shared Friday night as I addressed the intercessors.

We can bring the media down, and it needs to come down, but we must also cry out to God for those like Cole Allen, who have wholeheartedly embraced the rhetoric. Over the last two days, through tears I thanked the Lord for intervening April 25th. However, Cole is not alone, thousands, tens of thousands share his ideology. How many have taken similar steps and are awaiting their opportunity to succeed at what Cole did not?

“The Importance of the Hour” was a warning from the Lord and within 24 hours, we saw the danger He was sounding played out before our very eyes. We are at war for the soul of this nation, and the Lord is indeed sounding the alarm. Will His watchmen heed the call?

In light of the crisis at hand, we are looking to schedule a three-night prayer meeting next week, please keep an eye out for schedule changes so you can join us.

Blessings & love,
Ricci

The Importance of the Hour
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
April 24, 2026

We have some key issues here the Lord is bringing to our attention.
  • The Narrative and the Animosity
  • The Uniparty vs MAGA
  • The Babies and Expansion
The Narrative and the Animosity.

I had a dream last week in which the Lord opened my eyes to see some patterns occurring in our nation that need to be rectified. It’s going to take prayer, wisdom, knowledge, discernment and understanding to walk this out to victory.

Media

October 7th caused a dynamic shift in media narratives. Instead of standing with our allies, media drove us into an “America Only” ideology. This stems from the America First movement, which, unfortunately has its roots in white supremacy. Alt-right media is convincing the conservative base that it should be “America ONLY.” God did not call us to be isolationists. He called us to be a Father to the Nations… to spread the Gospel to them… America Only contradicts and/or shirks that responsibility. That mindset is not only internally destructive, but it will also leave us externally isolated should we get attacked by nations seeking to overtake us. “America Only” abandons allies and as such, will cause former allies to abandon America. We see this even now with our European allies over the Strait of Hormuz.

Now, they are fighting against President Trump, his administration, and attempting to vilify and paint him as a tyrant, a fascist, and many other unspeakable things across their various platforms. Divide to conquer.

This took another huge jump in September of 2025.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, many conservative leaning media influencers have become alt-right. They continue to make a concentrated effort to destroy everything Charlie stood for: Trump, the conservative base, Life, our youth, open dialogue, the Church, and Israel, justice, etc. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined I would witness what I’ve seen in this country in the last seven months.

Candace Owens has made millions spreading deception, false narratives, all to create division in the MAGA base regarding Israel, Egypt, the DOJ, the Trump Administration and even Erika Kirk, blaming each of them for Charlie’s death. She’s convinced people that Charlie astro-projected through time to tell her who killed him. The accusations against Charlie’s widow have put Erika’s life in mortal danger on more than one occasion. It’s demonic in nature and too many have fallen for her deception.

Since our Passover GOE, their attacks have intensified. Tucker, who was formerly an ally of Trump openly revolted against him. After a year of releasing his own systematic attack on America breaking down the people’s trust in Trump, the DOJ, the Department of War, and our alliance with Israel, during this week’s “America Reads the Bible” event, Tucker released a public statement apologizing for supporting President Trump.

The Lord showed me in a dream long ago that these two would be used to unravel the nation from within. Do I think they will succeed? No. God has given them just enough influence to expose themselves. We are going to have to pray, collectively, they have over 20 million followers.

Tucker and Candace are not the only ones; many Woke or Alt-Right influencers have followed suit with the goal to divide the MAGA base. MAGA is God’s vision to bring America back to strength, He imparted that to Trump as was seen by Kim Clement almost a decade before he ran for president. Through Kim the Lord said, “A new party would arise.” This is God’s vision for America and we, as prophetic intercessors, need to hold fast to the Word of the Lord.

Charlie’s assassination was tragic, I felt as though my own son was assassinated because he seemed to be a living reflection of our intercessions. He was the essence of MAGA. So, when the Lord audibly proclaimed the moment Charlie’s death was announced, that “an ideology killed Charlie, never to forget that fact” His words pierced my soul and continues to provide clarity amid the tidal wave of conspiracies. I shared it October 12th in a message “Charlie Kirk, God’s Marker of Love for a Nation.” I am so thankful to the Lord for speaking to me. Charlie is a martyr, I have been shocked over conspiracies that surround his death, but it has been a catalyst. This catalyst has birthed much: it is birthing revival but it’s also exposing of the heart of man. We could have mighty revival and an amazing financial outpouring in our nation, and the corrupt would ride the wave of it and then use and abuse the masses.

It’s not just media; there’s the religious crowd too.

The Pope.
 
Since our GOE, we’ve seen further evidence that our obedience was critical to the exposure of the Pope. He is instrumental in building up a narrative that produces animosity in the conservative base. He distracts and deceives the masses, deflects responsibility, and he is trying to prevent God’s plans from being released.

When Pope Leo IV was elected, the Lord told me he would be worse than the former two. Little did I know he would be responsible for ushering in Chrislam. Something my mother saw coming years ago and I recently learned that Kim Clement warned of the same. This is a merging of Catholics and Islam. In the end times, Catholics will use radical Islam as their military arm. Today, the Pope instructs the masses to not fear Islam because “it is a peaceful religion”. They even have a prayer room for Muslims in the Vatican. On the surface, I know Muslims can be peaceful individuals, however, the Islamic Regime ruled by the Axis of Resistance headquartered in Iran. It controls the 22 Arab nations, is not peaceful. Their ideology is an Islamic world-dominion at any cost.

In the middle of a social media war with President Trump, Pope Leo IV came out and endorsed Islam. This came after a private meeting from David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist. While the blood of the nearly 50,000 innocent Iranians still drips from the sword of the Iranian regime, he declared them peaceful. No wonder he remained silent while Islamic extremists raged across the African Continent violently raping and murdering tens of thousands while they slept in their villages. He was partnering with them. He will condemn Trump and Israel over what is taking place in Iran to protect our nation from nuclear attack while at the same time support the violent regime of radical Islam. He will stand against Israel and their fight to survive, but he will not stand up for those who are actually enduring persecution for their race or religion. How does this make sense?

God is exposing this now so the people of the Catholic Church can see the truth have the opportunity to flee!

The Uniparty

There is an indistinguishable line between the RNC and the DNC—the Uniparty. And, the Uniparty, at its core, wants to get rid of Trump and what God is trying to birth through him in our nation. They do not care who is president, as long as they can control him. And we all know, Trump cannot be controlled.

God is going to allow them to expose themselves even more, but again, like Tucker and Candace, they can only go so far. God is already birthing a new breed of politicians, if you remember the vision I had during the State of the Union address, those who did not stand for America were swept right out of the House of Representatives and the New Breed of Politicians took their place. Why? Those representatives swept out do not represent the heart of Americans. We need to remember that these are the same people who continue to pass legislation to bind up our nation. And, they refuse to pass legislation that would further MAGA and support a stronger America. They are fighting Trump or vilifying him at every turn. This is the uniparty and they are more debilitating than we realize.

We need to stand up for Trump in greater measure. He represents the same heart our Founding Fathers represented. He represents a God-given vision for the future of America and unfortunately, the Church does not know which side to choose. If we are unsure, we must we get on our knees and seek the face of God until we see what is going on through the lens of the Lord.

The Dream-- April 15, 2026

I was in a large conference center. The RNC and the DNC were both setting up their conventions in the same hotel. The RNC had one section, while the DNC had three. I was an assistant to the head of the RNC.
 
I walked around the convention center assessing things in preparation for the conference. I stepped into one of the DNC rooms and saw that they had the same exact layout as the RNC. This concerned me because, as opposing parties, it did not seem we were making a clear delineation between the RNC and the DNC.

I ran into the RNC area to locate the RNC Chair. I pointed out my concerns and recommended a shift in our direction. I knew we had time and could accomplish it if we put our minds to it, I felt the RNC should be seen as the answer to the problems people are facing and I expressed my concerns that we presented ourselves as the solution especially in this hour. She rejected my proposal and left –she represents the uniparty I spoke of earlier.

As I stood alone in the RNC room, I noticed there was a hidden hallway at the back of our room, I walked through it and found a huge area that was available for our group that we had not accessed. The room was being used for storage. Again, I found the Chair and expressed my concern with her, as utilizing this space would make it possible for people to come and listen to the heart of our message. She rejected my suggestions and concerns again and left.

Next scene:

I was down in a lower level of this conference center. Someone (the RNC Chair?) had a baby—he appeared to be a newborn—and I was sent down to there to care for him for a period of three months. It was important to the head that he remain hidden. Nearly three months passed and I ran out of diapers and had to go upstairs to get more.

The stairway led me straight into the lobby of the conference center. When I reached the center of the lobby, a pregnant woman and her husband came rushing into the lobby. She was in labor, close to delivery. I asked if they wanted a wheelchair, but when they saw that I was part of the RNC they wanted nothing to do with me. There was an extreme sense of urgency in my spirit. I knew this was her first baby and I told the husband if we didn’t do this right, they would lose the baby. He reluctantly agreed to my assistance. I called for a wheelchair; she was brought over to a couch and laid down. Someone in authority told me to get her some ice so I went over to the restaurant and grabbed a “to go” container to fill it with ice. I asked the person behind the counter for the ice, but when he saw that I was with the RNC he grabbed my container, broke it and said, “no ice for you!” He only spoke broken English. I felt desperate, I told him I need the ice for a woman who was having a baby. He immediately changed his tune, in fact, his entire expression changed, and he went into the back and brought me a solid container filled with ice. I took it back to the woman, where I was instructed to poured it over her body. It felt as though they were trying to pause her labor.

Next scene:

Another laboring woman came into the lobby. However, when she saw that I was with the RNC she wanted my help. I got a wheelchair and I took her over to the RNC area for her to give birth. I helped her onto the couch and asked the husband how long she’d been in labor. He was frantic. I asked if they wanted me to call 911 but she felt like she couldn’t move or be transported. I called for sheets as I could tell she was about to give birth.

I was running back-and-forth between the first woman and the second woman.

I ran into the woman who had me caring for her baby downstairs and told her that I could not leave these women who were in active labor, she needed to go and get her baby, own up to motherhood and bring him upstairs. She was a hardcore corporate-type and prepared to revolt against my directive with various methods of intimidation. Her goal was to force me back downstairs with her baby. However, there was a spiritual authority on me that caused her hard exterior to instantly step back, she softened and ran to get her baby.

Next scene:

I continued running back-and-forth between these two women in labor and accidently walked into one of the DNC areas because the door was right next to the RNC room where I had the other woman. The room was filled with gift bags for men and women containing self-care products from sponsors lined up all along the floor and table to be handed out to constituents. As I opened the door, these older men panicked and tried to shove me out so I couldn’t see what they were doing. They knew it was illegal.

I continued to run back-and-forth between these women to help them give birth. Even though these laboring women were from opposing sides, one from the RNC and one from the DNC, something began to happen among the people, they began to unify over these laboring women and celebrate the life they would bring forth. The anger and divisiveness between the parties that caused people to keep shoving me out of areas faded. Life was happening and joy filled the center.

While running back-and-forth, I considered what on the surface appeared to be a significant discrepancy between the space the DNC had access to verses what the RNC had access to. Remember, the DNC had 3 rooms, the RNC had 1. I considered the whole section hidden down the hall behind our small room. It was a conference room being used for storage of good supplies we could use. It only needed to be cleared so we could access it entirely, it would take half a day to prepare the room. I did not know why the RNC Chair was not making use of it. I wondered what we could do to unify our group for expansion. I also knew we needed it; I sensed it was going to be filled to capacity regardless of the RNC Chair’s lack of support.

My thoughts were interrupted when another laboring woman and her husband came bursting into the lobby shouting, “the baby, it’s coming!” She was about to give birth in the middle of the lobby, in fact, she about to push right then and there. As I was looking for a place to lay her down and assist her, I woke up.

-end-

I shared the concerns facing us at the beginning. And believe it or not, I could have expounded extensively on those issues. However, I want to move into the babies that were coming forth in the dream and our responsibility as intercessors. This really is the Rebirth of our Nation the Lord showed me back in 2023.

This is key for us. We are birthing something and that requires a new mindset. There were four babies, and “four” in Scripture represent total coverage (North, South, East, West—the four corners of the earth) and completion.

God is about to complete a powerful thing He began in our nation a long time ago. We have to think differently than we did before. We have to think differently than the Media, we must separate ourselves from the Uniparty, we have to pull back from what false religion is trying to bring. These things should offend us immensely because they are unscriptural and contrary to what God is doing. We, the prophetic intercessors, have to embrace the life that God is bringing forth in our nation.

The birth of these four babies represents what God is doing in the nation.
  • One was hidden
  • One rejected until crisis and then put on ice or paused
  • One welcomed, and the sheets I called for represent the commission upon our nation, “Spread the Gospel unto all the Earth” an expansion of the Gospel as we saw in Peter’s vision in Acts 10:9-16.
  • One burst on the scene “It’s Coming!”
Right now, so much is being hidden, much like the baby I was sent down to the basement to care for. I believe this represents the fact that there is more exposure, more truth, and more hope than anyone is conveying to us. Do not worry, God is going to bring it into the light and that which is good we will embrace. That which needs to be eradicated, with prayer, we will see brought into the open where we will have to take responsibility for it, then eject it from this country. If, however, we spend our time digging and digging for it, “just asking questions” it will take us down rabbit holes that God is not calling us down. We are more focused on what they are hiding than what God is doing. And, like those women giving birth in the middle of the lobby, God is going to bring it forth! He must in order to our nation free.

The Lord is going to continue to give us the obstacles we need to overcome in prayer—don’t worry about feeling inadequate, there is a commission coming that will enable us to accomplish this task. As long as we continue to pursue Him in this hour, He will not leave us absent the necessary revelation and anointing to fulfill the call.

Darrell shared some insight with me. He felt this new commission will lead us through this transition (remember the hidden hallway) and into unaccessed provision (the hidden storage). We have to see that has been conceived and brought forth is a new calling or assignment for us. (The babies)—even that which has been temporarily concealed (hidden baby)—whether due to fear, image-preservation, or self-interest, must be brought out of hiding into rightful ownership and stewardship by the intercessors. Remember when I told the woman, “go get your baby and own it”? The intercession required for God’s will to be done in the midterms compels us to press for this transformation. I appreciate his wisdom in this area.

This is the call of the intercessor. To have the mind of Christ, to see things through the lens of the Lord, and to respond accordingly. We have to reject the narratives and stand with MAGA, stop fearing the animosity, and with the authority God has given us, bring down the uniparty.

God is rebirthing our nation! If we recognize the importance of the hour and can hold fast, God will see us through. He will bring true unity like those in the dream who realized a baby was being born. This is the importance of not just recognizing the hour, but embracing the commission of God upon the life of the intercessor!

I get the struggle people are facing, it’s been a decade of chaos, but you have been created for such a time as this! You’ve been forged in the fire in preparation because God knew you could not only endure, He knew you would endure! God began preparing Joel’s Army because He knew the importance of the hour, His prophetic army must arise!

Now to MAGA, the pause in labor, and our President.
 
It is fitting that President Trump’s second term falls on the 250th Anniversary of our nation. A year of celebration, a year of dedicating America back to God, a year of celebrating what made America great to begin with. This is something God planted in Trump’s heart as He knit him in his mother’s womb. It began with blanketing our nation with the Scriptures, it will encompass prayer, and ultimately the formal rededication of the nation. This season was inspired by God and it is prophetically paving the way for Revival. It’s as though God paused his Presidency, the 45th and the 47th, to prepare him to align with the special release for our 250th Anniversary! Like the baby in my dream, the one I was sent down to care for, like the mother who at first rejected me and then her labor was put on ice, Trump was rejected at first, paused, and then in crisis, he and what God has placed in him to rebuild and strengthen this nation, is coming forth! We can choose to diminish this prophetic year, or partner with God, embrace it wholeheartedly, and be part of birthing God’s plans and purposes for the hour.

This week as President Trump read from 2 Chronicles 7, our key verse as intercessors, unprecedented storms raged across the land and here in Fresno, we had two tornadoes touch down. As I shared during the GOE, when we had tornado warnings then, this does not happen in California, this is prophetic and we should take note! What is happening in the Spirit is profound. The Lord is showing us that if we will press in through prayer and stay true to His Word, He will respond by uprooting corruption in unexpected places and then send forth His healing. The rededication of our nation is coming, a rebirthing if you will, to prepare our nation to fulfill our commission to be a father to the nations and to go forth and spread the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. That is what truly Makes America Great.

The last baby that came bursting forth is Revival. This is the completion and expansion of God’s work in our nation. Nothing will stand in His way of pouring Himself out on a nation where the people have humbled themselves and prayed. We must stay the course, the next seven months will be among the most important of our nation’s history. May we recognize the importance of the hour, and stay true to the call.

Blessings & love,
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
