Hi all,
This is coming to you early due to the important nature of a recent visitation I had with the Lord.
For American subscribers primarily, but of world-wide interest
On July 2 I was in the kitchen doing some dishes and thinking on some things that troubled me.
I was internally talking to the Lord about what He had told me in visitations of December 2020 and January 2021, after the Biden/Trump election but before the inauguration.
Making sure we understand the starting point
As most know as I shared in Zoom meetings and parts of it elsewhere, the Lord spoke of 4 years, 4 things that needed prayer and could happen. Before the inauguration He said Biden had cognitive issues that would be seen by all as it progressed.
He spoke of future behind the scenes meetings about it, replacing him and such. But He said at the time, to pray he doesn’t have a catastrophic event, for ‘it would be bad for the nation’. Then He said if that happened, Harris would be acting President for about the last 9 months of the administration.
We are within that 9 month period and that hasn’t happened, and that’s a good thing. The last thing he had said was to ‘pray he would not run again (be replaced)’ and then according to prayer: “It has been given to have a conservative administration in the next term.”
That brings us to July 2’s visitation
I was just talking to Him as I was doing dishes, saying this: “Lord, you said ‘it has been given to have a conservative administration’ in the next election cycle, but just because its been given from heaven is not guarantee of it happening.”
“I have no assurance, nothing in my spirit saying that is assured, that it’s a done deal. Why is that? Is it because behind the scenes the democrats are trying to figure out what to do, and their decision could change the election if your people don’t pray and vote? There has to be something more to it for you to leave it like that, as ‘a matter of prayer’ – given from heaven but I don’t sense it being a sure thing.” and things like that.
Suddenly He was standing next to me and I stopped what I was doing at the sink and turned. He replied: “It’s because (my lack of assurance) this nation is at a tipping point.” I looked at Him: “Tipping point? That means we are at a point momentum will go one way or the other. Does the debate and decisions they are making now and next month have a part to play in that?”
He replied: “This nation is at a tipping point, with the election determining which way it will go. Momentum will shift back and forth in the coming months, so pray people will be moved by principle and not emotion.”
He continued:
“In the last election many of my people voted by personality rather than principle. (And as I told you before, I allowed those with false spirits attached to them, and those speaking out of their own heart to prophesy that they might be exposed. Yet some did not repent and even now continue on as they were.) Once again I will deal with some of them, more severely, for some this time after things settle a bit, for I have given them grace but they have not repented.”
“I used this debate to remove (from my people) all excuses for personality. The prayer for this time, is for your brothers and sisters to establish priorities, for the natural mirrors the values in their hearts, and their walk with me.”
“I am using this in the natural to require the same thing spiritually in their lives. Establish your priorities by judging yourselves. You’re about to see the gap widen even more between those who are moving on with me, and those who want to maintain the status quo. Between popular culture, and kingdom culture. Between the ways of the world, and the ways of the Father. Many are even now staying where they are because they don’t want things to change, hoping if they stay put things will not change. They resist what I am doing in their heart, for it moves them out of their comfort zone, and they know it. “
“Remember what I told you about why I allowed the scandal between President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky to be played out on the headlines of this nation? I told you I allowed it to play out in public because he represents the sins of his generation, which are primarily two: Greed and lust. I said that his generation might see their lives in the scandals of the President and say, ‘See, he’s just like me’, or ‘Oh, he is just like me, I need to repent and change.’ That those people might turn to me, to grow up in me, and many did.”
“So it is again with this election. I allowed the obvious to be seen, that some may harden their hearts, and that others might even for the sake of mercy and common sense, see a need for change. And then with the change, establish my priorities in their hearts.”
“I am using these things in the natural to cause the dull of hearing to recognize I am telling them to judge themselves, to establish priorities, to determine right and wrong in their lives, to repent of their love of this world and its things, to hear what I am saying to the church.”
“A great divide is coming, even to this nation. Those who have been listening to Me won’t be caught by surprise. Those who have ignored what I’ve been saying to my body in this country, will be caught unprepared. Do not despise them when they turn and come to you, guard your heart and know ahead of time those days are coming.”
“You have some time yet, but let my people be warned. There will be those who want nothing to do with you now, but will one day turn to you for help. Accept their true repentance by walking in love and doing good. There is yet some time, but as you were told before, the spirit of socialism can be delayed, but won’t be stopped.” And that was the end of the information part.
This last comment refers back to the Bush/Kerry presidential race in 2004, 20 years ago. I think there is significance in the timing of His comment July 2. In the summer of 2004 I noticed a feeling in my spirit that was different about the Democratic party and its nominee. I asked the Father what it was. He replied:
“It is the spirit of socialism.” I asked, “Where did it come from?” He immediately said: “From Europe. For there are those in this nation who want the United States to be like Europe. But that is not what I’ve called this country to. It can be delayed, but it won’t be stopped.” That was 20 years ago.
The visitation ended on a light note. After He had said there is some time yet, but that this election will determine if things happen faster or are delayed, I just opened up a bit: “Lord, I’m tired. I get people email me or contact me and all they want is something from me. They aren’t interested in church in the home or the relationships in you or growing in you. Some won’t even format an email correctly, no respect, no sense of value, just putting in the subject line ‘PDF’ with no idea who they are or which PDF they are talking about. Others just want something with no sense of appreciation or giving back…and on I went a bit in a tired, self-focused way….and He simply said: “Now you know how I feel.” And with a smile He disappeared.
By the way – I’m more rested now for July 2 when the visitation happened we had just finished our Tulsa conference and had seen our friends off, and it was the first time ‘off’ in over a week. He straightened my attitude, for His ‘Now you know how I feel’ comment was both a rebuke and light sarcasm that made me laugh out loud so hard Barb in the next room asked what was going on.
I hesitated these several days sharing that end part because I cherish my fellowship with the Lord and these visitations. But without that comment on the end the reader may have been left feeling ‘down’ as I felt when He shared the gravity of these next months. I was blessed by His rebuke of my complaints.
So I want you to know that in spite of the gravity of the situation in the US, He ended on a positive note, rebuking me with humor, and I hope perhaps an example for others to provide assurance He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We have to do our part, to hear what He is saying, but He remains Lord and His work in us is His focus.
Tulsa conference summary – we had an amazing time in Tulsa the end of June. It was a good mix of people from 25 states and 1 from Canada. There was something for everyone as I shared some visitations, teaching, Q&A time that was wide ranging, small group prayer, wonderful worship with many being ‘in the Spirit’ and hearing and seeing things of the Lord. And that was just Saturday. Sunday was some teaching and Q&A about house church and more, breakout groups by region, and that evening, wonderful worship once again.
Zoom meetings – we will be setting up more Zoom meetings, stay tuned for details in upcoming Weekly Thoughts.
I wanted to share this visitation with you for prayer. We were told to pray the Father’s will be done on earth as it is done in heaven. That it is given from heaven for a conservative next 4 years is not a guarantee, which is why the Lord was gracious enough to clarify some things for me.
His focus is not on the US elections, but He is a Master at using anything He can to get the attention of the body of Christ and those who need to mature in Him now. Mature in Him doesn’t mean political party, don’t be that shallow to read that into it – He is talking about priorities in life, and political parties merely reflect conservative or liberal values in the people who vote for them.
This visitation was about priorities in life; family, friends, neighbors and coworkers are to be high priorities. As James said in 4:2: “You adulteresses. Don’t you know friendship with the world is enmity with God?” The Greek word ‘world’ there is ‘kosmos’, and means ‘world’s system’.
In our culture it means the things of this world, the toys, the entertainment, the culture of it all – friendship with that world works against Christ in you the hope of glory. He is about love, mercy, grace, joy, peace, godliness of character – those meek and lowly things that are opposite the world.
At His return according to His own words in Matthew 25, Jesus said He is looking for a people who fed, watered, clothed, and visited ‘Him’ (these the least of my brethren) when in need. That is where the body is headed, that is the direction He is taking all of us, no matter our earthly nation, He is bringing us to the values of the ‘heavenly nation’ where our true citizenship is.
Blessings,
John Fenn
