December 2016
God on trial. Every day. Every motive screened and filtered in the courtroom of life. My life. Your life. Every heart has a judge, jury, and a special chair for this Defendant. An endless string of accusations and questioning. And there the Creator of all things and the One who holds me together, sits with perfect patience and profound humility- affectionate, smiling eyes, happy to have my attention none the less. Listening and gently responding as every petal falls to the floor.
He loves me. He loves me not. I can't believe after all these generations we still do this to Him. I still do this to Him. Who can explain Him? Who can figure any of it out? Can He be diminished to my perceptions? To yours? To what we've been through or will go through? To what we have or don't have? Can He be whittled down into our fleeting thoughts or momentary feelings? Only if He wants to. But who really knows what He wants?
I know I don't know. And that feels good today. Today my heart rests in knowing a God who will take an eternity to know. Who wants to be known in His fullness. Outside the courtroom.
God, I'm so sorry. Really sorry I've chosen the courtroom once again. Let's go somewhere else today. Anywhere but there.

Kim Clement: A Tribute to a Great Prophet
Elizabeth and I had the privilege of being at the Celebration of Life service for Kim Clement today. It was a very touching and moving service. Kim was a South African born prophet who was sent to this nation as an extension of the clemency of God to this country. For many years, it seemed only Kim Clement prophesied mercy, hope, and destiny to the United States, while most of the known prophets warned of God’s wrath and of coming judgments. I remember resonating with Kim back in those years before I myself became called to speak and prophesy into America’s great future destiny.
On Labor Day of 2015, the Lord backed off the protection over His prophet Kim and allowed him to enter into a 15 month period of preliminary rest from his earthly assignment. This November 23, at age 60, the day before Thanksgiving, Kim was escorted in heaven having finished his essential assignment- prophesying and releasing America into its’ greatest day of destiny. He gave us 15 months to get used to the idea. Two nights ago I had a dream that involved Kim, but I could only (and can only) remember the very last part of the dream. A decision was being made and I heard these words as I woke up, “Will it be Kim Clement or David Rains?” When I awakened I realized that I did not know who “David Rains” was. I also then realized I didn’t even know if that is how his name was spelled. As I thought into it I realized it could’ve been “David Reigns”. My sense from it all was that Kim Clement had finished his course and that “David Rains/Reigns” was now in place.
I believe that we have entered a “David” era of the United States of America. In the same way that the prophet Samuel found an unlikely candidate in the person of David, so now the Lord has found perhaps an even more unlikely candidate in the person of Donald Trump. There is a moving on from a “King” that the people chose, to now there being a “King” handpicked by God. If you are offended by the comparison between “unholy" Trump and “righteous” David just remember that David did not even commit his adultery with Bathsheba and his essential murdering of Uriah until AFTER he was anointed by Samuel. In the midst of Trump’s imperfections, there are some core heart impulses that the Lord loves and will now work with. Kim Clement prophesied in Redding, CA back in 2007 “A Trump shall be my Trumpet” and went on to prophesy how he would serve for two terms and be lit on fire by God once he is put in office. This we will now see.
David Rains and David Reigns
I believe we will see a manifestation of both. I believe the David Rains have now been released over us and that we will see many manifestations of what was seen during the days of King David. A whole new level of worship connected to a whole new sound is now being released. The enemy celebrated because in his mind he took out a great prophet- yet it is heaven that is now celebrating and full of laughter as many had already desired that Kim be called home as a reward- because of the sufferings of his radical and courageous life. He had been so brave and faith-filled that he took on “unwise” risks- that heaven actually loves. Kim seeded the clouds with his prophetic words of hope and expectancy and now it is time for the rains. Rains that bring in new sounds, new lyrics, new music, new clarity, new boldness, and new mercies.
I also believe we will see a version of “David Reigns” as this President- and perhaps even the next President- will end up evidencing a divinely orchestrated rule. An extended season of reformation and restoration is upon us as a nation and God is not just waiting for us to make this a “grassroots” reality- but He is steering and accelerating things from the top down. It will become “grassroots”, but it is not starting there. Many things that Kim prophesied in past years that seemed ridiculously hopeful and naively positive will actually find a fulfillment in the coming years. Many have wrongly judged him as a false prophet for erring on these things but it will come to be that in many cases only the timing was missed.
“Missed prophetic words” are judged much differently in heaven than they are here on earth. If a word carries faith, hope, and love- or any measure of any of the three- it is loved in heaven. Here, many (especially religious ones) look for opportunities to crucify him or her who misses a detail or the timing. Kim Clement was a constant flow of either faith or hope or love- or all of them at the same time. He was brutally criticized and attacked by fellow believers for daring to believe God would be merciful to us, be loving to us, or be kind to us. Kim had a very good sense of mercy, grace, and the kindness of God. What he knew about our God we are now going to see because it is an unprecedented day where the RAIN and the REIGN of heaven is imposing Papa’s will on us- despite us not earning it. We have yet to be delivered from the Puritanical roots that gave to us a stern, finger-waving God- but that is also all going to begin to change as the David Rains wash over us. The Clement one spoke clemency over us until it happened- and then he was allowed to be taken up. Yes, it was the enemy who took Kim out- but in the same way, it was also the enemy that took Jesus out, so now the enemy will also not celebrate for long. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints- and He will have Kim’s death be swallowed up in great victory.
Kim’s Mantle
I believe that today some very special transactions were taking place at the Celebration of Life meeting. Pieces of Kim’s mantle were placed on his wife, kids, and descendants and there will be sudden new graces that several of them immediately step into. Others will subsequently experience that as well. I suppose many others can make “claims” on the mantle but it is most likely an impartation of faith and courage that will be picked up by these- and that is, in fact, something very worthy of being desired as well. I saw that as Kim was being called home he was shown the future of those close to him and realized they were actually going to be better and do more without him here. This removed any hesitancy he might have had to his promotion to heaven. Jane is going to step into remarkable boldness. Donne is going to rise and shine with what is now resting on her. Two of the non-speaking descendants are now going to speak (I won’t say their names to remove pressure :)) Mantles and spiritual inheritance are a big deal and it will bear out that what Kim has left behind was a big deal.
My closing thoughts are that I thank God for the gift of sending a prophet named Kim Clement among us and he is a gift to us that will continue to give and give. The 2.0 version of him that I saw early in the year will show up not in his physical body but through what his prophetic words continue to release- and through what comes through his wife and descendants. Furthermore, Kim will still be actively engaged in prophesying and singing over us all- now from heaven. What he used to do by straining into faith, will now flow easily- as he gazes without hindrance into the future- and sees our better self and declares it over us.
President Obama's decision to not veto the UN resolution to condemn Israel settlements is a very bad decision, but fear not- this is going to essentially end the two-state option. Obama has forced Trump's hand- in a direction he may have wanted to go anyway. Furthermore, it could create the tipping point to end UN funding from the USA and that too is now clearly a better choice than ever. It was a foolish and dangerous vote for the nations that went against Israel- as they continue to be very slow in recognizing when they are poking God's eye. Nothing about that vote was the "pro-peace" facade it is described as. Friends with the insertion of Trump into His plan- God has rescued us in so many ways that will continue to unfold- but this is a big one... Now beyond all of this Merry Christmas to all!! There is a new birthing of Jesus into our nation at this time and all is going to change for the much better.
