In the summer of 2020, I the Lord gave me a vision of our nation. It was in the form of a woman, and it had been in a catastrophic accident. It was placed on an operating table before the Lord. Every part of the body had been impacted by this accident. The Lord was working feverishly to heal it, His hands moved so quickly, they were a blur in front of my natural eyes. I could however, through the Spirit, see particular parts He was concentrating on:

• The Head (thoughts left Him, we sought the desires of the flesh, embraced false doctrines, social justice ideologies)
• The Heart (our hearts waxed cold toward Him; we carried bitterness and unforgiveness toward our fellow man)
• The Stomach (appetite for deception/compromising the soul)
• The Womb (left wounded and scarred by abortion)
• The Knees (bowed to idols: self, technology, greed)
• The Feet (the nation has turned from God and walked into deception)

I watched the Lord operate on our Nation. As He did, I the wounds lifted off the body and He healed and sealed the wounded areas.

Throughout this surgery, a golden hue rested upon the woman. In His mercy, He really was healing the soul of the nation.

I remember thinking that it seemed like such a monumental task, one only the Lord could perform.

He replied to my thoughts: “As the rising of the sun draws the dew from the soil, I AM drawing the trauma up and out of the soul of the nation. Watch and see.”

I believe this is where we are today; God is dealing with our nation. He’s addressing the sin, and He’s healing the wounds caused by that sin. As intercessors, it is our responsibility to continue to pray for the stability of the nation during the greatest shaking we’ve seen in our lifetimes.

How did we get here?

We slipped into compromise. This is certainly a fact; however, we must ask ourselves “why didn’t the Church stand against the compromise as it entered our nation? Where were we when the sex, drugs, and rock n roll swept up our youth in its tidal wave of decadence? Where were we when those blatant crimes against our precious pre-born began?”

We were lulled to sleep. Was this by design? I’ve addressed this in part, some time ago, but as we watch the Lord working on our nation, I think it’s important we dig deeper. We need to get to the roots of this situation so we can both pray more effectively and be aware of what led us down this path to begin with. The awareness helps get us back on the right path and prevent reentry to this state of compromise.

Compromise can be such a tricky word: we want kids to compromise when playing together. One wants to ride bikes and the other wants to play basketball. They compromise by splitting their playtime by riding bikes for the first portion and then playing basketball for the second portion of their time. That’s a solid compromise.

I’m referring to a compromise that can lead the masses straight to hell. When we compromise on the Word of God, when we compromise on truth, or if we compromise our values all of which should be born from the precepts found in the Word of God, then we begin the slow decent from truth into deception and that is an eternally fatal mistake.

Perfect examples are found in the social justice movement or liberation theology. Let me explain further:

For several weeks I’ve spoken on America’s Red Sea Moment. This is from a word the Lord gave me back in 2020 which dealt with the corruption that is within the Church. This week, Mom and I were talking about the Catholic Church and its influence. We went back and forth in discussion. Just before our call Wednesday, she called and said, “one of the key issues within the Catholic Church is called ‘liberation theology’ and it’s influencing the church today as a whole.” She asked me to pray over it that night! Never having heard that terminology before, and in a bit of a panic, I sought clarification.

However, as we talked, I realized I knew those issues as social justice issues that I’ve addressed in the messages on “America’s Red Sea Moment Approaches” are from Liberation Theology! They are both in the nation and today, running rampant within the Church. I also shared with her that they are considered “Cultural Marxism” which taken directly from Marxist ideology.

I’ll quickly review those social justice issues, or our plagues, in a moment, but a little background:

Marx knew he could not take a nation as long as the Church stood strong. He had to infiltrate the Church but with men like the 19th Century preacher, Charles Spurgeon in place, teaching the purity of the Word of God, he simply could not succeed in places like England.

However, in the 20th Century, along came Antonio Gramsci, an Italian philosopher, who realized, if you wanted to conquer a nation, you needed to influence both the culture and the Church. We see this in the communist manifesto as well: they weaken the Church while influencing the culture with compromised values.

Not long after, we saw the Catholic Church begin to roll out their liberation theology. Pope Francis, with the roll out of his social justice platform, was often accused of being a Marxist. I looked this up and there are articles identifying Pope Francis’ liberation theology of being influenced by Marxist ideology! Yet, I cannot help but wonder if Marx himself was influenced by Liberation Theology for it began centuries earlier.

Again, she asked me to clarify this and review the issues we are dealing with so we can pray more effectively.

America’s Red Sea Moment and the specific plagues or compromised values that have infiltrated the Church today are as follows:

1) Black Lives Matter or BLM

2) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or DEI

3) LGTBQ+

4) Critical Race Theory or CRT

5) Climate Crisis

6) Bloodletting: Abortion and Human Trafficking

7) AI

These plagues influence both the Church and the Nation. However, if we are to truly see them removed from the nation, we must extract them from the Church first. There are three plagues which are specifically in the nation, and which impact us negatively as a nation. While they certainly influence the Church’s behaviors, we do not necessarily see them within the Church, they are as follows:

8) Corrupt Government Agencies or FBI, CIA, State Department

9) Media

10) Academia

We have likely heard these issues referred to as Social Justice Issues, Cultural Marxist Ideology, but they began as “Liberation Theology”. They were brought in by the Jesuit Priests through the Catholic Church centuries ago. The Jesuit Order has as their primary focus, Social Justice Issues also known as Liberation Theology.

The Jesuit Order was founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1540. However, there were Popes as early as 300 AD who were considered Jesuits. Jesuits are known for their commitment to education, social justice and missions. They often work in schools, universities and outreach programs. They take a vow of absolute obedience to the Pope.

When a nation is formed, the Jesuits are released into that nation to influence the nation both ecclesiastically and politically.

Men are recruited from universities to partner with this agenda, with the goal to ensure that that nation bows to a higher power, that power being the Pope himself.

It’s that two-headed snake in the dream I shared last week.

What does this type of influence look like?

Politically speaking: every member of Obama’s cabinet was a Jesuit. Biden had 12 of the same 16 cabinet members that Obama did. Consider the liberation theology or social justice issues they unleashed upon our nation. The Jesuit endgame is to bring a nation to its knees for state capture, without bloodshed (arms). They use the youth as their social justice mouth pieces while at the same time, activating their corporate lobbyists to force legislative changes within the nation.

Ecclesiastically speaking: Jesuits entered our churches long ago to implement a watered-down social Gospel message so the Church would not be capable of recognizing the infiltration into the nation and raise up a resistance.

In the 1600-1700s we had what we often refer to as the Black Robe Regiment. These were godly men who understood the destiny of America and fought hard to educate their congregations on the issues at hand so they could have a solid Biblical worldview.

However, in the southwest, a group known as the Jesuit Order entered the scene, setting up missions along the western coastline. By the mid-1960s understanding how influential the Church in America was in the nation, they slowly branched out, infiltrating various denominations as “pastors” to prepare it for submission to the Pope. Once established, they unleashed a wave of this Liberation Theology upon the masses.

Liberation theology emphasizes the liberation of the oppressed and the poor through political and social activism. It interprets Christian teachings through the lens of those experiencing the oppression, advocating for social justice and challenging oppressive systems.

It reinterprets Biblical narratives and teachings to highlight their relevance to the struggle for liberation and social justice.

It emphasizes the concept of “social sin” recognizing that structures of oppression are not simply individual actions but collective sins that require systemic change. The idea that the color of your skin excused you from your sin, or crimes against your oppressor became the prevailing narrative embraced by both the world and many within the Church.

We saw the collapse of Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist and many others as they split over supposed “doctrinal” issues, however, most of these were rooted in Liberation Theology and one party’s unwillingness to compromise the Word of God to justify or condone the sin of various social issues such as homosexuality or woman’s rights.

While the Church was distracted and really crumbled around us under this deception, the enemy installed his men and women who would take the political lead and drive the final nails into the coffin that encompassed our nation. Those installations were Obama and Biden. Hillary would have been the final nail but God intercepted their plans by bringing in Trump.

I’m going to provide just one, very significant example of how serious this is and how deeply it has impacted various churches today.

The foundation of the Lutheran Church was based on the separation from the will and the ways of the Catholic Church. Martin Luthur nailed his 95 Thesis containing his criticism of the Catholic Church, which he nailed on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church in 1517. He did so, “out of love and zeal for truth and the desire to bring it to light.”

In this thesis, he detailed the errors within the Catholic Church, his desire to bring truth to deception and open up discussion with the leadership.

The three primary topics are as follows:

The first three theses statements are for discussion on the importance of God’s Word in the Holy Bible for the Christian’s life.

1. When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent” [Matthew 4:17], he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.

2. This word cannot be understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy.

3. Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless it produces various outward mortifications of the flesh

Theses #4-14 address the power of the pope, challenge the teachings of purgatory, address the corruption of the clergy, and the source of the forgiveness of sins as a direct act from God. The Catholic Church teaches that the power to forgive rests in the hand of the clergy with the Pope himself as the head.

• Purgatory:

This belief is linked to the Catholic concept of purgatory, a state of purification after death where souls are cleansed before entering heaven. Catholics believe that prayers from living members of the Church can help those in purgatory. This belief is linked to 2 Maccabees 12:43-46 where Judah Maccabee and his men offer sacrifices for fallen soldiers who had been killed while wearing pagan amulets, indicating a belief that their sins could be atoned through prayer.

This contradicts what the Word of God says about salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Theses #15 – 82 are the core arguments by Martin Luther against indulgences and the tactics of the preachers who are selling letters of indulgence in Germany.

Luther was persecuted greatly for this and had to flee because a bounty was placed upon his head by the Catholic Church. The Reformation had begun however, and that was a catalyst for the Protestant movement today. Among those Protestant Churches was the Lutheran Church.

Today, from the Evangelical Lutheran Church’s own website we read the foundation of their belief system:

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) emphasizes social justice as a core part of its faith and ministry, viewing it as a direct consequence of God's grace and love. This commitment manifests in various forms, including political advocacy, direct services, and educational initiatives focused on addressing systemic inequalities and promoting justice. The ELCA works on issues such as gender justice, racial justice, environmental justice, and human rights.

Key aspects of the ELCA's commitment to social justice:

Racial Justice:

Environmental Justice:

Specific programs and initiatives:

Theological Basis:

The ELCA's commitment to social justice is rooted in its understanding of Lutheran theology, which emphasizes God's grace, faith, and love. Lutherans believe that because they are redeemed by Christ, they are called to care for their neighbors and work for justice in all areas of life.

But God!

In 1999, the Lord called Mom to begin the work of the Gathering of the Eagles, and slowly but surely, through the repentance and intercessory work accomplished in the last 25 years, the cabal have been exposed, the corruption of this Marxist/Liberation theology, the plagues that sought to consume our nation are being thrust from our shores and God is healing our land. Of course, we’ve shared in great detail the work of the Gatherings and the fruit of our intercession, today I’m simply reminding us of God’s work through His obedient servants.

We have made tremendous headway, and I believe these plagues becoming mainstream is actually a sign that they are being uprooted. They were hidden before, deceitfully woven into the fabric of our society. Now, there are a bunch of loose threads the Lord is about to pull out. Don’t worry though, God will replace them with His truths if we continue to follow His plan and pray.

On Thursday, May 1st, the National Day of Prayer, while in prayer, I had a vision of a jackhammer being wielded by the hand of the Lord. It was not what one might think, but it certainly had the same effect. This jackhammer was none other than President Trump, and he was secured in the hands of our Lord. He (the Lord) with His jackhammer specifically designed for this purpose, was hammering away at the bedrock over DC so he could access the swamp within and effectively drain it. I know that a portion of DC was built on marshy land, much like a swamp, but this particular swamp that the Lord is using President Trump to expose and drain, runs deep, it’s got both political and religious influence, it’s full of swamp creatures like bureaucrats and lobbyists who rake in millions of dollars courtesy of the American tax payer, to pad their pockets.

Trump was created for this hour, and if we are to see America set free from the Cabal, we are going to need to stand with him, and continue to pray for wisdom, knowledge, discernment and understanding to reign in his life.

We are going to need to, as a Church, pray and stand against:

Do not be discouraged, do not listen to mainstream media, but stay grounded and founded in the Word of God and prayer.

I want to close by sharing a vision I had this week. I was walking and praying in the spirit, and I had an open vision of a huge tree. It was tall, very thick, and majestic. About two feet off the ground there was a massive lump. It was so large, I don’t think I would be able to extend my arms around the mass.

I asked the Lord what I was seeing, and He replied, “it is the nation, and that lump you see will be the scar closing around the traumatic wound from the season it is coming out of right now. It’s going to take time for the bark to be completely shored up, but this will be a valuable lesson for the days ahead.”

I was so concerned about that lump, but He assured me, “it will be okay. This will one day serve as a marker of what occurs when the heart of a nation turns from Me.”

The tree suddenly began to grow; it grew so rapidly from where I stood, I could barely see that lump any more.

I felt the Lord standing next to me and we stood together looking up at that tree lump. After a few minutes He said, “It will also serve as a marker for what I will do in terms of blessings and expansion when the heart of the nation repents and returns to Me.”

When I arrived home, I looked this up because I remember seeing something about these lumps on trees a while back. They are called ‘tree burls’ and they form when a tree is under great stress, when it has been damaged by insects, viruses or even a fungus. The stress of this event causes the tree to put on growth quickly to encase the wound and protect the tree. Some tree burls can be enormous and burl poachers will seek them out because they have such unique swirls and abnormal patterns. They are often used in very high-end woodworking products. However, cutting them off can leave an open wound on the tree and cause serious problems.

The Lord does not want the burl removed. He wants to seal it and let this part of our history stand as a memorial to us. He wants us to see the value of this season and then teach the next generation our history.

Just like the Israelites would tell their children the story of their heritage, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and his brothers and how their actions with Joseph landed them in Egypt. Joseph would tell them God used this to provide for them in a world-wide famine. When Jacob died in Egypt, he told them to return to the Covenant land. They didn’t, and in the end, they were enslaved by the Egyptians. Obedience is key. Yet, God raised up a deliverer, Moses who set the captives free from this bondage and oppression, and in the process, Israel arriving at their Red Sea Moment, they had to face the Plagues within their own people. No details were left out of these multi-generational conversations because the lessons of successes and failures were valuable instructions for the next generation that they might remain true to God. It also admonishes to refuse to engage in atrocities that offend Him such as slavery and infanticide (abortion). It warns them to reject compromise that slowly draws us away from God. It exhorts us to maintain a life of pursuing Him through His Word and a life of prayer. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Today, we can certainly see our nation on the Operating Table today. In a spiritual sense, the Lord is working on the heart, the mind, the appetite (stomach), the knees and feet to extract the corruption within. At the same time, that Jack Hammer the Lord showed me, is securely held in the Lord’s hands, and he’s at work on a political level, extracting the corruption that has been built up because the Church turned from Him.

In the end, if we stay the course, we will see the promises of God fulfilled both in the natural and in the spiritual.

The Jesuits sought to destroy the nation, but God, His plans will prevail!!

As Americans, our commission is to never forget the lessons of this season, the next generation needs these critical lessons we’ve learned as God uproots the plagues within.

Blessings & love,
