This election is more proof than ever that moving forward with reformation, we must consider the mountain of media (news reporting) as a primary mission field. In the future, there must be a news agency that really provides unbiased and truthful reporting. There also must be a polling agency that does the same. This election seemingly 99% or more of both of these agencies have been attempting to create news rather than report news. The attempt to manipulate public opinion has never been more obvious. The proliferation of fake news has never been greater. The main media including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, ABC, USA TODAY, etc. has been actively fighting Trump and doing so with lies, innuendos, and half-truths. It has been blatant and almost unbelievable. However, almost just as troubling, the pro-Trump social media threads are also chalked full of fake news- much of it regarding the demise/indictment/end of Hillary Clinton- to the point nothing can be trusted. Honestly apart from discernment from the Holy Spirit, the lack of objective news reporting has so mined the political landscape that it is amazing anyone can figure out baseline truth and from that how to proceed. Things will not always be this way. In the coming days, citizens will know the news media outlet and the polling agency that is actually representative of objective truth. This will be a major kingdom service. Providing that baseline of objective truth is more important than having "Christian" motivated manipulative reporting. How we need His kingdom to keep coming into every area of society.
Things are just different now. The spiritual winds have shifted and the heavens have just opened up another notch. In the midst of a swirling electoral season, much is moving in the spirit realm. Hosts of heaven are on a rampage and stomping second heaven resistance. Yesterday my eldest daughter Promise Joy called me to tell me that she had been awakened in the night with a loud audible voice that said "Promise, Promise." It was not her husband who was still asleep as she sat up- nor did he hear it. When I asked she said she had been having " a good dream" but couldn't specifically remember it.
I asked Promise if I could share this as I believe it is a message also for the whole Body of Christ. In my spirit, I heard "the Lord is awakening His promises and He is activating them by name". Many of you have had some good God-dreams given to you and now is the time to arise into their promised fulfillment. We are seeing this reality in our personal lives as a family- as is Promise in specific. Long time delays are suddenly ending and impossible things are suddenly possible. It is playing out in all sorts of ways not the least is the Chicago Cubs improbably (they were down 3-1 in the series) breaking a 108 year World Series drought and becoming champions. The baseball matchup overall was called the "break the curse" World Series- as the Cleveland Indians were holders of the second-longest title drought. It is the ordained season for droughts, curses, and delays to be done with. The web of witchcraft that has been instrumental in holding back so many and so much is being demolished. In the midst of intense war in the heavens, a time for joy because of promises being activated is upon us. Fill the air with worship, with tongues, with praise- with fuel for the angels. They are fighting for your promises and they are winning.
After last night's historic election we have accelerated into a new era of reformation and I will write more about that in the coming days. A world reset button has been pushed and things will always be different and ever reforming from now on. For today, I want to recognize that there are many of you out there that find this election result stupefying and even horrifying. You may feel very disoriented and fearful for a variety of reasons. It may help some of you who haven't heard it yet to hear my podcast released on my Facebook page on November 1. On it, I explain how it was not easy for me to hear from the Lord that He had chosen Trump for the Presidency. I think there are additional helpful perspectives that can help you assimilate this result and move on with the Lord in a trusting and hopeful way. I am sorry if in any way you have been belittled, rebuked, or in any other way mistreated via social media by those who have been perhaps overzealous Trump supporters. This election engendered much strong opinion, contention, and strife and maybe with the result behind us, we can return to our foundation of love and kindness. I speak comfort and consolation to those of you who need that today and I want to say to you that a great good will come from all of this new direction. Papa is very involved in the process and you can trust Him.
Hey Friends, in this crucial new season, lets really be careful not to assume that because we or someone heartily endorsed Trump- that therefore God heartily endorses us, or them- or whatever our or their chief political or moral objective was. I think that would be an unfortunate mistake based on significant presumption.
I believe that one of the main reasons that God chose a flawed man to lead the new reformation of America- which will make it great- is so that a religious arrogant phariseeism would have no stronghold as we move forward. God did not choose Donald Trump because he was the most righteous candidate. In fact, if our memory serves us well, we might have to acknowledge that in the Republican Party alone there were perhaps 15 or more candidates who better represented Christian character. Honestly, Trump may have been last on the list of the original 19 Republican candidates.
President Trumps' assignment is not to make America more "holy" and especially not so through force. Rather he has been equipped with a unique "ax" to tear down organized corruption in the specific spheres of government and the economy- and then to model a reformed upgraded version of both. For him to accomplish his assignment he can still do so without exhibiting much kindness, gentleness, or other fruit of the Holy Spirit-- though he is not precluded from doing so. For the rest of us to assume that we may now deal roughly with the hearts of those who opposed Donald Trump is to forget how the kingdom of God advances.
Be aware that we we are each being intently observed as to how we handle this period of election "success". We must restrain ourselves from jumping on a high horse of moral superiority where we get to browbeat the "sinners" of society. A significant "sinner" was just installed by God into the White House- and let us not forget that. He will do great things- because God is great. My main point: Winning the election does not now give us permission to exit operating in love. God will still resist the proud and exalt the humble.
Kim Clement is in Heaven
I was shocked and so saddened to hear today that Kim Clement had passed on and my thoughts, prayers, condolences, and overall emotions go out to Jane and all of his family and all those close to him. They have been involved in an arduous and heroic walk for the last year and a half or so as they marched on- while dealing with the many challenges that Kim experienced in his physical body. We are all of course very excited for Kim himself and the freedom from pain and the waves of glory that he is now experiencing in heaven. Today there are amazing parties and reunions taking place in heaven though down here that is not the present reality- but it is a significant comfort.
Kim's 2.0 Version?
I gave a long prophetic word that came out on the Elijah List back when Kim suffered his first stroke stating that I had seen Kim in the future in a 2.0 version of himself and that he would come back as a totally different prophet of glory. I thought and shared that as being a physical expectation that I had and I was clearly wrong about that and I want to own that without blaming anyone for that not being reality. There may end up being some version of that show up through the mantle he has left behind or in some other way- but it is not the way I said it and so I want to acknowledge missing it on that specific part of that prophetic word. If that word released excessive hope to any of you that love Kim Clement I apologize for added pain. However, I do believe we were supposed to hope and pray together.
Moving Forward
The greater part of my word regarding Kim Clement in 2015 was about how well he had served the Body of Christ and specifically as it relates to a merciful and hopeful future for America. I think he did his part in delivering to us the hopeful America he saw and it is only appropriate that he would be promoted at the Thanksgiving after a president he prophetically foretold has been confirmed as next leader of our nation. I know some of you are still wrestling with the idea of our new president but in time you will see the clear handiwork of God through this choice of His.
Kim seemingly delivered on his 1.0 objectives and assignments and his 2.0 assignments are now in and for heaven. Not sure what urgency heaven had for a passionate out-of-the-box musical prophet but they got it now :) His gifting and personality stays with him and he is definitely now in the upgraded environment. At minimum, our cheerleaders just got rowdier- but there probably is some more strategic orchestration that he is called to be a part of. Meanwhile all you friends of Kim and family please do all you can to support them in prayer and finances. Great grace will be there for them- but please continue to honor Kim by doing all you can to look after his loved ones he left behind.
