Right now there are many people who are either very let down or others who are over the moon. I have a friend who told me they won't be going home for the holidays because of their anger toward their family for the way they voted. My heart is sad at the division. No matter where you stand, it's important to see that there is more than politics at play here.
Got some time for backstory? About 14 years ago before my husband and I were waking up we had another couple whom we became best friends with. My husband and the other husband both read a book, "Awakening to Our Awful Situation: Warning From the Nephite Prophets" by Jack Monnett. They would discuss that book all.the.time. It was a book about how our government has been infiltrated and corrupted by both sides and to awaken to the secret combinations - as the Book of Mormon tells us to do.
Listening to them talk about that book every time we got together filled me with unexplained internal anger. I'd never felt this before but I truly felt angry inside that they would talk about our government being corrupted and I felt what they were discussing was all lies. My husband would try to talk to me about the book and for the first time - I would cut him off and ask him never to talk to me about it. I can see now I was filled with a spirit that did not want to hear truth. Inside I felt like plugging my ears and closing my eyes and shouting, "I'm not listening! I'm not listening!"
One day I needed to get the garden weeding done and knowing it would take me some time, I found an old iPod our friend had given us. Coincidentally the only thing on that iPod was the book, "Awakening to Our Awful Situation". I was buuugged. But then...Lo! a thought! I had the idea to listen to a chapter so I could prove how dumb this whole book was. Brilliant. I selected a chapter on why the second amendment was important. And the more I listened, the more I felt my mind being cleansed. Truth was flooding in faster than I could comprehend it and in one moment my mind was baptized with truth and I could see.
Truly these scriptures are prophecy!!!
20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.
21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.
22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.
Next I am going to share a journal excerpt and also a conversation and then I'll tie it all together. Here is from my journal on January 9th, 2017. My then 10 year old child had a dream about the 45th President who had just taken office:
1-9-17
(Edit) said that they had a dream the night before and saw in the dream that (the President) was assassinated and then the world got really bad and in his dream he wished he could “just skip that part in time”. He said that the world was worried and thought war was going to break out. And then he said there was ‘darkness’. And I said, “What does that mean?” He said, “It was without God.” And he said he wanted to "just skip that part" because it was so dark.
Then this week my 16 year old had a dream. They said in the dream they were sitting at their computer doing some work when a message popped up that said, and I don't want to use his name but it's the incoming President's name, the message said: "(President) found dead at Mar-a-lago". Then they awoke.
I was texting with a friend who echoed the things I had received. They said that they were praying on election day and the Lord said to them that it would look as if things will get better in our country but it will be short-lived and that evil designs (beyond 'Left' or 'Right') are mounting to ruin America and its founding. The Lord told them to be at peace through this transition because this transition will turn so many lost souls back to Him and that it will be worth it.
It is my feeling that dark times are ahead for us. And if we trust in government to fix what ail's us - then we are being led into a false sense of security.
Jesus will provide everything you need.
Pray for allies and where two or three are gathered together in Jesus name - He has promised He will be in the midst of them.
Fear not to do good...for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap...fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail...Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not. Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Amen. (D&C 6:32-37)
If we try to set a timeline or an idea of what the future holds, we can unconsciously set our hearts upon that reality and when it crumbles or shifts our hearts may crumble and shift with it. There is nothing that is certain except the Rock - Jesus Christ. Set your eyes on Him and all will be provided.
I see people online telling their followers to, "prepare. Move if you can. Get your food storage bulked up!" If those are people you listen to then I would ask you to consider unsubscribing. Anyone that doesn't preach for you to lock eyes on Jesus and to seek and do His will isn't grafted into the True Vine.
Jesus will provide everything you need.
Ask Him what is the most important thing for you to do right now and then...do it.
In May of 2017 my husband was praying in the dark hours of the morning. As he prayed about the things on his heart he unexpectedly saw the Lord come and sit by his side. Here is his journal from that day:

In May of 2017 my husband was praying in the dark hours of the morning. As he prayed about the things on his heart he unexpectedly saw the Lord come and sit by his side. Here is his journal from that day:
I asked him about the coming destruction and asked if my family would be protected. The Lord said “They are in My hand and I will do with them as seemeth Me good. Protection is not the goal, salvation and eternal life is the goal. So many people petition for protection when that is not what will save and exalt them. I have something greater in mind than you or others can imagine when protection is all that is asked for.”Getting connected to the Lord through repentance, worship, and praise...seeking to do His will and His will alone is the covering of protection all must seek after.
A few years ago as I was closing the garage I stood at the door to make sure that the garage went all the way down and didn't bounce back up again. While the door was rattling it's way down I glanced around the garage, taking note of all our emergency prep items. Then the Lord spoke to me and said, "All these things keep you from trusting in Me fully." My head dropped. I was humbled.
If there is anything you can't give away, then it owns you.
There is a bigger story at play and it goes beyond Democrats and Republicans. It is far older, far deeper and we must awaken to the larger saga. The story God is telling isn't about Trump or the left and the right. It's about the rescue of the hearts of men and women. That is what is on the horizon in the months and years to come. Watch the majesty of the Lord unfold. He came to rescue the heart and to bring it into oneness with His. All those that desire Him with all their hearts WILL find Him and none are lost that seek after Him (John 17:12).
John Eldredge has said:
Security is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of Jesus.I was talking with a friend this week who recently got home from her mission. Her mission traumatized her and I try to connect with her to help her process the things she went through. She was praying about what to do next in her life and said she couldn't hear the Lord clearly. I pointed out to her that she was headed towards a path that would please her parents but may not be the path that God has in mind for her. I told her that perhaps the reason she couldn't hear the Lord clearly is because she was only allowing him to use the letters, "ABC&D" when He speaks to her and thus it gagged him from saying E through Z which would then make His message sound garbled and unclear. Many years ago I was praying about some scriputures that confused me and I said, "Lord, You are confusing!" And I heard back, "That is because you lean on what other people tell you of Me to try to understand Me. Let Me show you who I AM. Ask Me to show you who I AM."
The heart is God's most magnificent creation, and the prize over which he fights the kingdom of darkness.
To find God, you must look with all your heart. To remain present to God, you must remain present to your heart. To hear his voice, you must listen with all your heart. To love him, you must love with all your heart. You cannot be the person God meant you to be, and you cannot live the life he meant you to live, unless you live from the heart.
An intimate encounter with Jesus is the most transforming experience of human existence. To know him as he is, is to come home. To have his life, joy, love, and presence cannot be compared. A true knowledge of Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest happiness.
You can't fight a battle you don't think exists.
There is something about human nature that just doesn't want to face the reality that we live in two worlds. We live in the physical, material world where we have jobs, read books, and go about our business. And we live in a spiritual world - and that is a world at war.
Once you allow the Lord to have everything in your life and that nothing is off the table - then the full use of the alphabet of revelation is in play and He can ask you to do all things and revelation becomes very easy and clear because you are willing to do things that wouldn't come naturally to you if left to your own devices.
You may want to move but the Lord says, "Stay."
Okay.
You may want to beef up your food storage but the Lord says, "Trust Me."
Okay.
You may want to stop going to church but the Lord says, "Go".
Okay.
Whatever You ask of me Lord...that I will do.
I trust You.
God...please bless Your children to lean not to their own understanding. Bless them fulfill scripture that they seek no longer for a teacher but that they will ALL know YOU, from the least of them to the greatest of them. We know that if we ask for bread You will not give us a stone. You are a GOOD FATHER. Praise YOU! Bless You! Triumph in our lives LORD! We give You all of our hearts. You are GOOD. You are TRUE. You are FAITHFUL!!!
This song is for the prayer closet in your holy time.
