Shofar of Warning: There is a storm breaking over our nation!

There is a storm breaking over our nation. It is not weather but spiritual, and our nation and the world is sleeping unaware except for a few. Many, many people have built their house on sand, and no matter how large, how unique, how expensive their house and life are the reality is that their house and life are extremely fragile and deceptive.

People across America are looking for safety in systems that are failing, and they are looking for truth in voices that have little to no truth and are deliberately deceptive. People have not yet seen thru the gray fog enveloping America, every city and town regardless of the political make-up. This gray-like fog promotes a verbal and political struggle between neighbors, between political signs. People are no longer taught that the real war is not between flesh and blood but spiritual. The gray fog is growing thicker as hatred and vengeance become the rule of the day. Over 12,000 churches shall close their doors this year. Already many are dark with people merely sitting in pews or rows but waiting to exit and return to entertaining and fulfilling activities, pastors speaking carefully so as not to offend anyone. There was little to no teaching about the cross or repentance. This makes church comfortable, safe and unchallenging to one’s spiritual and even mental maturing. God was outside knocking on the door but no one opened to let Him inside. People across this nation have traded the power and example of Christ for the comfort of this world. They want a God who fits their politics not a God who demands their lives, their humbling nature willing to submit (cooperate) with God’s ways. People across this once Bible following nation have become comfortably numb.

Into all of this comes Donald Trump. Around him were millions of human voices; some cheering his name like they were worshipping him, others screaming in a rage that appeared they wanted to tear the world apart and all Trump was trying to accomplish. But Trump has stood like a lightening rod in the midst of a strong storm. Because of his strength, Donald Trump has divided the entire country.

Donald Trump is not a perfect man no matter what many of this followers might say. They are attaching themselves to a man of power and who they want to take vengeance. They turned Trump into an image of their own hope, almost an idol. Those who hate him saw a monster that justified their own bitterness, their own pride, their own sense of rightness and superiority. Their hatred for Trump has become their own religion, it has defined them and has given them a reason to awake in the morning.

Trump is a catalyst – he is not the savior nor the king nor the enemy. He was brought to this moment to partially reveal what is in the hearts of people. He is the mirror showing America its own face; people everywhere trying to hold onto their fortunes, bank accounts, standings. What people are not prepared for is the shaking that is coming and already begun. The false foundations that have become much of America shall be, and already are being exposed. America has built strength on its’ economy, its’ military and its’ leaders. The Lord intends to pull back the curtain and expose the falseness of this narrative along with the media vehicles that created such. The leaders of the world are quickly coming to a point where they have nothing to offer, nothing constructive to say.

Donald J. Trump has come to this point in time to navigate our nation thru the coming incredible humbling times NOT to destroy America but save it from itself and pride, to usher America to a point of decision — either to take God and the covenant made by George Washington at his inaugural as our first President or to continue down the godless path this nation began traveling. The shaking will be sobering and strong as a Remnant for the Lord is formed and is already building. Many will try to run back to their deceptive and shallow ways while the Remnant will push ahead in obedience and submission to God’s ways. A time is quickly coming, and is already here, where people shall have to decide whether they will seek earthly kings and leaders or turn from their habitual ways and seek and submit (cooperate) to the King of kings and Lord of lords; Jesus Christ.

The noise of malcontents shall rise louder in 2026, and even lead others to despair, depression, disillusionment and intense anger. Many will finally break and either retreat into self-made bubbles of comfort or finally go to their knees and seek the Lord. Many will stand on their props, bank accounts, comfortable life-style and the voices and promises of their political leaders. What is coming is removal of many of these personal foundational props they have created. The coming shaking will touch what many consider most precious – it will touch and even collapse their wealth, their sense of comfort and certainty, and the very systems they have come to trust. When the news they have relied on to support their beliefs and actions is exposed even more plainly as a lie, when the money they trust is revealed to be a ghost, when their political stars are exposed as self-serving and enriching entities what will they have to stand on then?

Donald Trump, from day one in 2016, began to expose the fraud and empty decisions made by so-called leaders here in America and across the globe; the deceptions, the theft, the hidden forms of trafficking simply nodded to by public leaders. He has, and continues, exposing emptiness of a myriad of decisions that virtually are enslaving Americans. This is one reason many hate him. Trump has demonstrated the bitter and criminal emptiness of so many decisions orchestrated by the elites. He reveals that the institutions we have trusted are actually empty shells merely keeping an image alive. This is why some love him with a passion, they think he can fill the emptiness, and why some hate him with a blind rage, as they blame him for the emptiness that was there for some time but covered-up. Both sides view and judge the man, rather than view internally their own souls and belief systems.

2026 is still a sifting year. God will blow away the chaff. The man at the center of this storm is a tool at the hands of the Almighty. The Lord is using Trump to wake up the sleeping, to expose the hypocrites, and to give the faithful a chance to shine. The shaking still to come will awaken all who have fallen into being comfortably numb. The Lord further says, “He is not interested in saving a nation but a people. The man, Trump, is just a man who will pass away, but I AM the Alpha and Omega — the beginning and the end; I AM the King of kings and Lord of lords!” This year is the year of great choice. The Lord wants people who will decide to stop looking at all the storms coming, and choose to look at the One who can walk on water.

The Lord proclaimed, “I AM calling a Remnant who will not bow to the idols of politics, who will pray in the secret places, who will love their enemies and feed the poor. They are the ones who will speak soundly and wise; they will speak clearly about NOT looking for a political solution to a spiritual problem.” The heart of this nation shall be weighed. Stop being afraid of staying the same. The Lord is coming to bring life but first the dead things must be buried. The Lord shall expose the costumes worn by many with the year ahead a great unmasking. The Lord shall show what happens when human wisdom reaches its’ limits.

The man, Donald Trump, will be at the center of the storm no one shall control. He is, and will even step-up exposing. The time of trusting chariots and horses is over. “I AM calling My people to look at the scale which will weigh human hearts. I AM looking for a Remnant, for those willing to stand-in-the-gap. The shaking coming is meant to produce a people who are unshakable to MY Word. They have come to the clear decision that they have nothing to lose but ME.”
