The fo= llowing is the Word that I received from the Lord for the month of April---it is a = very sobering word and it should shift our thinking as to how we perceive things concerning the Lord’s longsuffering with our nation and what is about= to occur during these next four months. Does this word of caution say to us th= at we are at the end? No, but what it says is that we are approaching a very serious course of events that will directly affect us as a region and as a nation and we need to be prepared spiritually and naturally.

2 Kings 13:14-19 14 Now Elisha was suffering from the illness from whic= h he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see h= im and wept over him. "My father! My father!"= he cried. "The chariots and horsemen= of Israel!" 15 Elisha said, "G= et a bow and some arrows," and he did so. 16 "Take the b= ow in your hands," he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king's hands. = 17 "Open the e= ast window," he said, and he opened it. "Shoot!" Elisha said, and he shot. "T= he LORD's arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!" Elisha declared. "You will completely destroy the Aramea= ns at Aphek." 18 Then he said, &q= uot;Take the arrows," and the king took them. Elisha told him, "Strike the ground." He struck it three times and stopped. <= /i>19 The man of God w= as angry with him and said, "You should have struck the ground five or six time= s; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times."=

In this time the strife of men have come before me and the wrath of their purp= oses are as a result of their own motives of self-exaltation. So I speak to My remnant in this hour and say, “you must be pr= epared!” You must set My instructions in place and move f= orth in truth and righteousness, as I lead you forth today; because there are th= ose who refuse to hear and refuse to make the necessary adjustments. Some will begi= n to see what is ahead and what is coming before it is too late. It is important tha= t you not be overwhelmed by what is about to occur around you, but you must focus= and move forth to continue to expedite and establish the kingdom of God through your life by intercession, repentance for your nation, and becoming a part = of the strategy that I will utilize as you walk in the obedience of my word. S= o be very focused, because as you prepare for the trouble ahead ---you will have= to move quickly to faithfully carry out the plans that I place before you.

As this season intensifies, the shaking that you now see upon the land will continue to follow its course. But how you approach and deal with these thi= ngs is vital to your survival. You must be able to navigate through the trouble that is looming over the land. Know that I have a plan for my people and mu= ch will be accomplished in a short period of time. It is because you are now o= n an accelerated track and a determined pathway that is moving with great moment= um. Your assignment is to walk in truth, speak My tr= uth in righteousness, and lead others to the life and light of My glory and presen= ce.

So strike the ground many times and I will give you the power and wisdom to overcome the obstacles that you will face. But you must be determined and deliberate, for I will show you and walk you through so that you may execute the important things that must be done now. Remember what you do now will determine your very ability to survive the plans of evil men that seek to destroy your nation. It is a corrupt people, a corrupt government, and the = sins of the people that have come up before me.

But you can have an effect on thing= s, such as:

·       Bringing others to salvation so they may be free from the bondages of Satan.

·       Prayer, intercession, and repentance ---fervent prayer can determine the intensity = of how this engagement in war will escalate, where it will escalate, and in wh= at way it could escalate.

·       Receiving My wisdom to set in place My plans so that many = will be helped and escape famine and find safety.

So set your arrows to reach far and strike the ground many times. I will walk = you through to be victorious in a time where the strife of men has come before = me and judgment is at the door.

·       You will see in your own land--- major involvement in war that will result in destruction within your own borders.

·       You will see in your own land---attacks of terrorism and retaliation that will cause major damage within the United States.

·       You will see in your own land---fighting amongst the brethren that will escalat= e to violence. This is as a result of those who have become embittered with rage= and hatred, carrying prejudices and issues of dogma, political strife and finan= cial destitution. This provoked division amongst the people has triggered evil a= nd darkened the hearts of many.

The greed and arrogance in your nation has caused serious consequences---that w= ill lead to total financial collapse,* famine and violence. That which I speak = of has already begun as a result of most recent decisions and developments that have set things on a course that will come to pass.

You must focus. There are many th= ings that people are concerned about now, that will no longer be important later= due to the things that are about to occur.

People have a perception that everything that I am saying now will be happening in years and not in months. But hearken diligently, for these things are fast approaching. The time to answer your higher calling is now. The time to pre= pare for battle is now. The time to be diligent in the work in the kingdom is no= w. It is important that you will not be caught unaware, so prepare now. Rise u= p! Be prepared for what is coming bet= ween now and the next four months. Secure your surroundings (home), but more importantly secure and fortify your life in Me. Help others to see and understand the hour in which they are living. Is this not the purpose by wh= ich I first called you: to walk with Me in the liber= ty of My peace and My love, to bring others into the kingdom? So that the light o= f my grace will build and restore the faith of those who have lost their way and= are weary without understanding. =

You must understand= that this is your shining hour because you will see the glory of My presence upon those hearts who have turned toward me and who have said “Yes” to My will. I am quickening and strengthening them to stand in the gap for others. There are those who will come quickly into the light of my glory and share their experiences. Encour= age those who are afraid and have been deceived by the lies and snares of the e= nemy. I will move upon their lives as I reveal My plan before them so they may go forth with the mandate of this hour. And there w= ill be those whom I will meet, restore, and renew in the quiet night of prayers= and supplication, and they will be changed, says the Lord. So in this time you = must be strong, quit ye like men who are ready to face a battle on several levels---on your knees in prayer, repentance, and supplication; also in physical implementation of the necessary safe guards that are important to bring forth now. Make food preparations; prepare to provide water and shelt= ers for those who will be greatly affected by the trouble in the land. Be ready= to strengthen, encourage, and teach others what I have taught you. So strike t= he ground, for I have given you the victory, says the Lord. But you must be re= ady now----for what you do this month of April will better prepare you.

Know that the same time that you see these things you will see the enemy come un= der judgment. Some goat nations are about to suffer judgment right in the very midst of their plots and plans. Pray----for there are some nations who are hanging in the balance----with fear and confusion--- some will be changed a= nd switch their allegiance from Satan and turn their hearts towards me. <= /o:p>

There is an evil nation that will lose their leadership to a more evil regime. Th= e earth is in travail and My sons and daughters will ris= e to prevail even in the most troubling of times, because I have prepared them f= or this hour and they will overcome the works of the enemy. Move forward with unity and the grace that I have given you - even connect to others with = like vision and similar assignments so that the work ahead will be better established. I will release great strategies and answers that will bring great resolve. Yo= ur faith is the most precious thing that you possess matured in My love.

Pray for these regions---they are about to be physically shaken (earthquakes), others shaken through upheavals and shakings within the government. Pray without ceasing. Pray for the people and the lands. Pray for those who belo= ng to me. Pray even for those who don’t feel as if they need Me. Pray for those who have turned away and refuse to follow -----but will return unto me and repent and also for those who are willing to lose their lives and will = gain theirs unto eternal life.
