Prophetic word released December 1, 2020:
Over the course of this month, I, like many, have felt weary...weary from the barrage of constant negative information and news, from the atmosphere of spiritual warfare I can feel, and from this year in general. Maybe you have felt the same? The Holy Spirit has led me into a place of rest in the past number of weeks, where I have been intentionally seeking His voice and releasing the heavy burdens I've ended up carrying.
In this time, last week, He sent me a number of consecutive dreams that I wanted to share with you, as I feel they are strategic and carry directional insight as we continue to pray and contend for the United States in this final month of the year. These dreams are specific to those praying and contending – especially for those who have been tired and weary and ready to give up.
Dreams of the Watchmen and Women
In each dream, there was a prominent watchman/intercessor that was highlighted to me. One was Dutch Sheets, another was Beni Johnson and the other was Lou Engle.
Each dream was like the other...these intercessors were imparting a strategy in prayer to me, but in each dream, a distraction came that diverted my attention from what they were trying to share with me. Right as they tried to hand me something, a person would come and grab me and pull me away from them.
In one instance, the distraction appeared good; this person was wanting to pray for me, but they were clearly not in tune with what was happening in that moment, and even though their intentions were good, they pulled me away from what God was wanting me to engage in at that moment. Another distraction was an old friend who wanted to meet with me, and another was also a person from my past, but they were an intimidating figure and I followed them out of fear.
As I prayed into these dreams and broke distraction and intimidation over my mind, I received a concluding dream at the end of the week. I was in a tent with Lance Wallnau and a group of hundreds of other people that I perceived to be interceding. Lance was standing in front of a white board that was filled with lots of writing that reminded me of a football team's game plan. There were different plays highlighted and Lance was assigning various actions to each person in the room.
As I was waiting for him to assign my game plan, I was stretching my legs as though I was about to run a race when a woman came over and sat down next to me. As she sat down, I noticed she had lost a leg. She asked me to teach her how to stretch the one leg that she had remaining. Lance then looked over at me and said, "I want you to use the Voss and Dox systems." At that, the dream ended.
Distractions From Strategy
I want to share the interpretation of these dreams with you as the Holy Spirit has showed me. God is speaking through His prophets and watchmen right now, and many are distracted from their voices. Dutch Sheets, Beni Johnson and Lou Engle represent the mothers and fathers of the intercession movement of America. God has positioned them to strategically watch and guard over the gates of the United States, but they cannot do it alone. We must stand and contend alongside them. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
The enemy has sent a bombardment of gunfire, so to speak...an endless storm of distraction to keep those of us who are standing with them in a place of distraction and unrest. The three different people that came to interrupt and distract me in my dreams represent the enemy's tactics to keep us from praying and contending right now.
There is a warning to not be distracted by voices that 'appear' good but are not perceptive to what the Spirit of God is doing in this moment. We also need to be aware of voices or distractions that are speaking out of intimidation and fear, or commonalities that would keep you out of the assignment at hand. The person from my past represents the common distractions, things in our every day that would be sent at an unusual moment to keep us out of the secret place of prayer.
I'm here to tell you today, the Holy Spirit is leading you back into His place of rest, so that you can pray from a place of power – intentionally focusing on what the Lord is speaking, and not distracted by the left or the right. Through the voices of the watchmen and women, the Holy Spirit is imparting wisdom, strength, insight and understanding into what is happening right now, so continue to listen intently to what is being spoken through the prophets and intercessors in this hour.
During last week, I had to intentionally pray and break any intimidation, and I noticed a significant difference in my stamina to continue praying and standing, whereas before, I felt weary and run down. That shifted as I broke off the enemy's assignment of distraction.
The Tent of Meeting Is the Place of Strategy
I find it amazing that in the final dream, the strategies Lance was releasing were housed under a tent. I believe Lance represents both the prophetic and a divine governmental anointing. He was handing out game plans and strategies to those in prayer. It is this collective partnership of the Ekklesia right now that will usher in the plans of the Lord to conquer the plans of the enemy.
We cannot win this battle over the nation of the United States without coming under the tent of meeting, or, sitting in the secret place of God's presence.
The Holy Spirit highlighted to me something significant about Joshua in Exodus 33:11. The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide, Joshua son of Nun, did not leave the tent.
Joshua STAYED in the tent when Moses would leave. Those who are willing to STAY in the presence of God in this moment will be those who receive the strategies of the Lord for the hour at hand and will TAKE the Promised Land. Joshua was the one who took the Promised Land. I believe the Lord is looking for a people who will LINGER in His presence, and by that I mean, those who will stay with Him throughout the day, even in the midst of daily routines...inviting the presence of God to LINGER with them. Here, the Spirit of God is wanting to impart strategies to you in prayer that will take down the giants of the land with EASE.
Where I was stretching my legs as though ready to run a race, I believe this speaks of the Lord strengthening us to FINISH the race set before us. I feel we are in the final stretch and divine strength is being imparted to us to run with perseverance as we pray. The woman who sat beside me represents those who have lost the stamina and strength to pray, but the Lord is strengthening those of you to stand again.
Saturate the Media with the Word
Finally, Lance's charge to me to use the "Voss and Dox Systems" was an interesting one. Upon looking up "Voss" and "Dox" I discovered that "Voss" represents a telecommunication company (this points to the media). I also found that there is a high-quality water company named VOSS that claims to carry some of the purest water in the world. I feel this speaks of not only drinking the Word but releasing PURITY into the AIRWAVES right now...to be SATURATING the telecommunication systems of this world with the TRUTH and PURIFYING Word of the Lord across the media.

"Dox," on the other hand, is a modern term that you may or may not be familiar with. It is a harassment strategy that has been used to defy those that one disagrees with, whereby the harasser would publicly identify or publish private information about their rival online – especially as a form of punishment.
When praying into this, the Holy Spirit highlighted Goliath's sword to me. David took down Goliath with his slingshot and stone, but he finished the work by cutting off Goliath's head using his own sword. I believe the Lord is wanting us to do the same – cut off the giant's head by using his own sword, or dox him.
How do we do that? We do it by exposing his neck, his weak point...by releasing and harassing him with the WORD OF THE LORD. The enemy has used a measure of truth (the sword) with lies and manipulation (harassment) to turn an entire nation into a political war zone, and many within the Ekklesia have become intimidated by the fight (think of the entire army of Israel that was intimidated by the harassment of the giant). It's time for Davids and Esthers to arise and turn the truth of the Lord back upon him.
How do we do that? By SPEAKING and RELEASING the water of the Word against him. As David marched onto the battlefield, he spoke the truth. You may feel tired and worn out, but I encourage you, get into the tent of meeting with the Lord, listen to what the Spirit is speaking through the mothers and fathers, through the watchmen and women who are speaking boldly right now...and though you may feel intimidated, speak the Blood of the Lamb against the enemy and his plans.
Where the enemy has attempted to fill the airwaves with lies and intimidation, SPEAK the WORD, saturate the airwaves with God's intentions right now. Though our battle may look naturally different to David's, they are really one and the same. It's time to RUN again, onto the battlefield, and declare as David did, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied" (1 Samuel 17:45).
This is not a battle about one man, it's not even political...this is a spiritual battle for the soul of America, and I, for one, refuse to allow the spirit of Jezebel to rule and reign over this nation. LOOK up and SEE! If God is for you, America, who dare stands against you? (Romans 8:31.)
