Editor’s Note:
Battle Ready News exists to help believers discern the times—especially when world events move with sudden speed and historic consequence. Early this morning (January 3, 2026), President Donald Trump delivered remarks describing a major U.S. military and law-enforcement operation in Caracas, Venezuela, culminating in the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cecilia Flores, who the President said face U.S. justice under prior indictments.
We are publishing this report using the President’s press conference transcript, along with the statements made by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth who provided operational details. As always, our mission is not to idolize leaders, but to read the moment through a biblical lens—with discernment and prayer—recognizing that God often uses unexpected instruments in turbulent hours.
President Donald Trump: The Disrupter-in-Chief
President Donald Trump has never fit the mold of conventional leadership—and that remains precisely why moments like this are inseparable from his presidency.
In the early hours of January 3, Trump acted as Commander-in-Chief willing to make decisive, high-risk calls. His leadership style has long drawn both loyalty and criticism. Yet in moments of crisis, that same posture has repeatedly translated into action rather than delay.
Since returning to office, Trump has reasserted a governing philosophy grounded in four clear principles: deterrence over appeasement, action over prolonged deliberation, and national sovereignty over globalism.
This approach has reshaped his administration from the top down. Trump has surrounded himself with leaders who share a willingness to act decisively—figures such as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine. These leaders were selected for real-world experience, loyalty to mission, and resilience under pressure.
Trump’s leadership has often been described as disruptive—even abrasive. But disruption is not inherently destructive. Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly used disruptive figures to confront entrenched systems that could not be reformed through gentle persuasion alone.
In that sense, Trump’s role in this moment reflects an uncomfortable but familiar biblical pattern: a leader willing to confront corruption directly, absorb criticism, and press forward when others hesitate. Whether one agrees with every decision or not, the posture is unmistakable—this is a presidency defined by action, not caution.
From a biblical perspective, this does not make Trump a savior. It places him firmly in a category Scripture recognizes repeatedly: an imperfect instrument operating in a consequential hour
Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival
(Charisma House/FrontLine, coming January 6, 2026) | From Pulitzer Prize–nominated journalist and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson, Designated Disrupter reveals how God is using the most unlikely people to confront darkness, disrupt corruption, and awaken a generation now breaking out in revival. Written for obedience. Released for awakening. Preorder now.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: Peace Through Strength, the Warrior-Statesman
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth followed the President’s remarks with comments on a flawlessly executed joint operation with the “guts and grit” of American forces. He tied the operation directly to border security, gang violence, drug trafficking, and the restoration of America’s strategic posture. His message was blunt:
America’s adversaries are on notice. In an age when global powers test weakness, Hegseth’s emphasis on “peace through strength” signaled that deterrence is no longer theoretical. It is operational. For Battle Ready News readers, the spiritual takeaway is not triumphalism, but vigilance. Scripture reminds us that while human rulers are imperfect, God can still use earthly authority to restrain evil (Romans 13). In turbulent seasons, God sometimes permits disruptive actions to halt destructive systems—if only temporarily—buying time for repentance, reform, and awakening.
Beyond the moment, Hegseth has emerged as one of the most trusted and influential figures in President Trump’s second administration.
A decorated combat veteran and former infantry officer, Hegseth brings a rare combination of battlefield credibility, moral clarity, and unapologetic patriotism to the role. Since assuming office, he has focused on restoring the military’s foundational mission by prioritizing:
Lethality, readiness, and morale within the armed forces
Mission clarity, re-centering the military on national defense rather than social experimentation
Credible deterrence, replacing ambiguity with resolve
The warrior ethic, grounded in faith, family, and duty
Hegseth’s leadership resonates deeply with President Trump because it mirrors the President’s own instincts: direct, decisive, and rooted in loyalty to the nation and to those who serve it.
Equally significant is Hegseth’s public Christian faith. He has never hidden the fact that his worldview is shaped by Scripture and the conviction that moral clarity matters in leadership. In a culture that often demands compromise and silence, Hegseth’s willingness to speak plainly has made him both admired and controversial—hallmarks of a designated disrupter in a narrowing window of history.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: Strategic Clarity Without Illusion
Standing alongside the President during this moment was Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose role in the administration has been pivotal since President Trump returned to office.
Rubio has been instrumental in reasserting an American foreign policy rooted in realism and moral clarity, particularly in the Western Hemisphere. Since taking office, he has helped guide a strategic reset that rejects both isolationism and naïveté—replacing them with clear-eyed engagement backed by credible resolve.
Under Rubio’s leadership, the State Department has re-established firm U.S. posture toward hostile regimes in Latin America, countered the expanding influence of China, Russia, Iran, and transnational criminal networks, prioritized the protection of American citizens abroad as a non-negotiable responsibility, and restored clear distinctions between allies and adversaries, ending years of strategic ambiguity
In the context of Venezuela, Rubio’s posture reinforced a critical principle: diplomacy without accountability invites exploitation. While open to dialogue, this administration does not confuse conversation with deterrence, nor negotiation with concession. Justice, sovereignty, and security remain foundational—not optional.
Rubio’s presence in this moment mattered because it signaled continuity between action and policy. Military force was not exercised in isolation, but within a broader framework that treats narco-terrorism, state corruption, and regional instability as interconnected threats—requiring coordinated legal, diplomatic, and security responses.
A man of personal Christian faith, Rubio has spoken openly about how biblical convictions shape his understanding of human dignity, freedom, and moral responsibility. That grounding has made him a stabilizing force in moments when moral confusion and strategic hesitation often paralyze leadership.
Together, President Trump and Secretary Rubio represent a foreign policy approach that is neither reckless nor retreating—one that understands peace is not preserved by wishful thinking, but by credible resolve anchored in principle.
We are in a spiritual war—and neutrality is not an option.

Chairman Dan “Razin” Caine: Precision, Integration, and Resolve
Providing operational leadership and counsel during this moment was Chairman Dan “Razin” Caine, the 22nd Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—the highest-ranking military officer in the United States and principal military advisor to the President.
Chairman Caine outlined an operation that reflected the realities of modern warfare: months of preparation, intelligence coordination, and seamless integration across air, ground, maritime, and interagency domains. The mission’s success hinged not on a single capability, but on synchronization—layered effects, rapid movement, real-time intelligence, and disciplined execution under pressure.
Appointed in April 2025, Chairman Caine brings an unconventional but formidable background to the role. A retired Air Force Lieutenant General, he is a veteran F-16 command pilot with more than 2,800 flight hours, including combat missions. His career includes leadership of Special Operations task forces in Iraq and service as Associate Director for Military Affairs at the CIA, giving him rare cross-domain experience spanning airpower, special operations, intelligence, and national security strategy.
Caine’s appointment required a statutory waiver—granted on grounds of national interest—reflecting the administration’s belief that this moment demands leaders shaped by real-world operations rather than traditional résumé pathways. His nickname, “Razin,” earned during a memorable encounter with President Trump in Iraq, has become shorthand for a leader known for decisiveness, clarity, and operational credibility.
Under Chairman Caine’s leadership, the mission demonstrated what disciplined force can look like when restraint and resolve operate together: joint-force integration, intelligence dominance, self-defense under fire, and mission completion without loss of American life.
And the moment raises a sober question—not only for policymakers, but for the Church: If nations can mobilize this level of precision and urgency overnight to confront geopolitical threats, why does the Body of Christ so often struggle to mobilize with the same urgency for spiritual realities?

The Designated Disrupter Pattern
This is where Designated Disrupter comes into focus. Revival rarely arrives on a clean schedule. More often, it begins when God shakes what can be shaken (Hebrews 12:26–27). History reveals a consistent pattern: when corruption calcifies and systems become untouchable, God sometimes raises up disruptive instruments—often outside religious institutions—to confront entrenched darkness.
Scripture offers repeated examples:
Cyrus, a pagan king, used by God as an instrument of deliverance and rebuilding (Isaiah 45)
Jehu, a fierce and controversial reformer, raised up to judge corruption and dismantle a murderous regime (2 Kings 9–10)
Jonah, an unwilling messenger, sent to warn Nineveh at the edge of judgment (Jonah 3)
The point is not to claim perfect parallels. The point is to recognize a biblical reality: God can use unexpected voices to confront systems that have become untouchable. That is the throughline of this moment—and why it matters.
From The Trump Code to Designated Disrupter: From Discernment to Confrontation
For longtime readers of Battle Ready News, this moment represents more than a breaking headline—it reflects a progression that has been unfolding for years.
In The Trump Code, I examined the convergence of prophecy, history, and leadership, asking whether America had entered a once-in-a-generation crossroads. The book focused on discernment—helping readers recognize prophetic patterns, timing, and spiritual undercurrents shaping the nation’s future.
Designated Disrupter moves the conversation forward. If The Trump Code asked what time is it? Designated Disrupter asks how does God act when the time arrives?
Throughout Scripture and history, moments of national crisis are often marked not by gradual reform, but by disruption—sudden shifts that expose corruption, confront entrenched systems, and force a moral reckoning. In those hours, God has repeatedly used unlikely leaders, often outside religious institutions, to initiate change.
The events unfolding now—from decisive leadership to restored deterrence—illustrate that pattern in real time. They do not signal revival itself, but they may represent the shaking that precedes it.
Seen through this lens, Designated Disrupter is not a departure from The Trump Code, but its natural sequel.

A Nineveh Moment — Not a Victory Lap
The most dangerous mistake in prophetic times is confusing disruption with revival. Disruption can open a door. But only repentance sustains change.
Nineveh’s miracle was not that Jonah preached—it was that the people turned. From king to commoner, they humbled themselves, fasted, and cried out for mercy.
America remains at what many have called a Nineveh moment—a narrowing window where God’s mercy still invites response. Political wins do not substitute for spiritual surrender. And military might cannot heal moral collapse.
If this moment signals anything, it may be this: A nation can still act decisively in the natural—but the deeper battle remains spiritual.
Honor Where Honor Is Due: America’s Military
Regardless of political divisions, one truth remains beyond dispute: America’s service members carried out their mission with extraordinary professionalism and courage.
The men and women who planned, flew, protected, and executed this operation did so quietly, efficiently, and at great personal risk. Their success reflects years of training, sacrifice, and leadership—often unseen by the public.
The President and his Cabinet publicly acknowledged their service, and we join that gratitude here. To America’s service members—known and unknown, public and unseen—Battle Ready News says this plainly: thank you for standing watch. Thank you for the nights you lose so others can sleep. Thank you for your discipline, restraint, and courage under pressure. And thank you to the families who bear the burden alongside those who serve.
Scripture reminds us that watchmen who stand guard through the night are worthy of honor—and of prayer. And while peace is not always preserved without force, those who carry the weight of national defense deserve our prayers and support.
Revelation 911 reveals the prophetic signs converging before our eyes—are you ready?

Closing Prayer: A Prayer for Discernment, Repentance, and Revival
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in humility, not in triumph—acknowledging that strength, strategy, and authority ultimately belong to You alone.
You are the One who raises up leaders and brings them low. You are the One who sees what is hidden, judges what is corrupt, and shakes what can be shaken so that what is eternal may remain.
Lord, we thank You for those who stand watch in the natural—for leaders entrusted with authority, for men and women in uniform who place themselves in harm’s way, and for families who bear the unseen cost of service. Grant them wisdom, restraint, courage, and protection. But we confess, O God, that no amount of power can substitute for repentance. No victory in the natural can heal a nation whose heart has drifted from You.
Search us, Lord. Search Your Church. Where we have grown complacent, awaken us.
Where we have compromised, correct us. Where we have placed our trust in systems instead of in You, forgive us.
As You did in Nineveh, move hearts from the highest places of influence to the quiet corners of everyday life. Stir a spirit of humility, fasting, prayer, and repentance—
not out of fear, but out of reverence for Your mercy.
Teach us to discern this hour rightly. Help us not to confuse disruption with revival,
nor delay with wisdom, nor silence with peace.
Make us a battle-ready people—rooted in truth, clothed in righteousness,
standing firm in love, and unshaken by the storms of this age.
If You are opening a window of mercy, Lord, do not let us waste it. Let revival begin—not in power, but in surrender. Not in noise, but in obedience. Not in appearances, but in hearts fully turned back to You.
We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our true King, our Redeemer, and our coming Judge.
Amen.
