Jeremiah Johnson - Trump and the Future of America

We are at a time when the consequences of our electoral decisions and governmental engagement will impact the nations for generations to come. The choices being made now in the high places of our government are having a profound ripple effect throughout the earth. The Church, however, has yet to take full responsibility for our commission at this point in history. We have been called as Kingdom ambassadors to transform our culture and demonstrate viable Kingdom authorityright in the middle of enemy occupation.

The Lord says to my Lord Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool. The Lord sends forth from Zion Your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! (Psalms 110:1-2 ESV)

There are demonic strongholds deeply embedded within the man-made political systems on the earth, the Church, the rising Ecclesia of God, has been given authority from heaven to shift things through prayer and demonstrate righteous rule on the earth. We have been uniquely set apart to be empowered change agents in our nation by representing a King whose government will never end. Though many believers have awakened to this call, there are many who are yet sitting on the sidelines, either unaware of the battles, too weary to join in the fight, or too apathetic to care.

We have been commanded to pray for our nation and all those in positions of authority (see 1 Tim 2:1-3). It is the prayers from a righteous and holy people that attract heaven and cause our intercession to be powerful and effective. We must win the war in the heavenlies if we are to see transformation on the earth. It is the Ecclesia that has the legitimate spiritual authority to guard, keep, and occupy this nation for the glory of God.

To the one who is victorious and does My will to the end, I will give authority over the nations. (Revelation 2:26 NIV)

For the remnant that is awake and responding to the alarm of the watchmen, our passion is noble, but our numbers are few. The corporate body of Christ has yet to be of one mind and one spirit in order to displace the ungodly rulers of the day. We are still divided as to the priorities at hand and unable to agree on a proper diagnosis that can bring a heavenly resolution. It is only when we see beyond the fog of human reasoning and personal opinion that we can rightly discern by the Spirit what is actually taking place and how we must respond. It is only when we agree on the problem that we will know how to pray.

The first step we must take in addressing the squatting spiritual giants in our land is to reveal the supernatural realities in the heavenly realms. It is the prophetic charge to reveal these truths in order to call the Church to prayer and to action. Jeremiah Johnson does that in this book. By sharing the powerful dreams and words he has received from the Lord, he is giving us a specific target. He is revealing the strongholds and principalities at work in high places so that believers can rightly pray and appropriately intervene.

The Lord has given Jeremiah a unique gift of dreams by which the Lord is not only revealing the enemys schemes but teaching the Church how to respond. Through these dreams and visions, we are being given intercessory intelligence in order to target our prayers with corporate authority.

As a lifelong intercessor and a fellow prophetic voice to the nation, I have had numerous dreams concerning this nation and our president. Being a writer for a national prayer ministry has also connected me with countless other faithful intercessors with similar encounters. Where many prophetic dreams tend to be highly symbolic and prone to subjective interpretation, Jeremiahs dreams are much more pointed. His dreams leave little room for subjective interpretation simply because of the specificity of the details. His dreams provide prophetic clarity and revelations from heaven that are calling the Church to take its place on the wall of prayer as well engage more intentionally in the public square.
