Breaking #1: NATO’s Call for Wartime Preparedness—A Stark Warning to Businesses and Governments Alike

Recent remarks by Admiral Rob Bauer, NATO's Military Committee Chair, serve as a wake-up call for businesses and governments across Europe and the West. Speaking at the European Policy Centre, Admiral Bauer urged businesses to brace for a “wartime scenario,” underscoring the growing threats from Russia and China. His comments, paired with NATO’s broader calls for societal readiness, reveal a sobering reality: the security of nations increasingly hinges on the resilience of their economies, supply chains, and civil preparedness.

Admiral Bauer’s assertion that “it is the economy which wins wars” highlights a profound shift in modern conflict dynamics. In an interconnected world, critical supply chains—ranging from rare earth minerals to pharmaceuticals—are as strategic as military assets. Western dependence on Chinese and Russian supplies, particularly in essential sectors like energy and medicine, creates vulnerabilities that adversaries can exploit. For instance, China's dominance over rare earth processing and Russia’s leverage over European energy supply have demonstrated how economic dependencies can be weaponized.

Businesses must heed this call by diversifying supply chains, investing in domestic production, and adopting robust logistics strategies. Reliance on fragile “just-in-time” systems is no longer sustainable in an era where hybrid warfare includes cyberattacks, sabotage, and trade restrictions.

Sacrifices for Security

Admiral Bauer’s acknowledgment that bolstering deterrence will require sacrifices—both financial and societal—is a stark reminder of the costs of maintaining peace. Western nations must grapple with the reality that increased military and civil preparedness will divert resources from other priorities. Politicians must lead by clearly communicating this trade-off to citizens, emphasizing the importance of collective resilience over short-term comforts.

Germany’s initiative to catalog and modernize its bunkers, coupled with FEMA’s updated nuclear survival guidelines in the U.S., underscores the urgency of preparing for worst-case scenarios, as Pastor Paul Begley and I explore in our #1 bestseller Revelation911. These measures, while unsettling, are essential to safeguarding civilian populations in the face of escalating global tensions

The Role of NATO and Europe

NATO’s readiness has improved, but Admiral Bauer’s remarks make it clear that Europe must shoulder more of the burden. The potential reduction of U.S. military support—especially under a Trump administration—heightens the need for a robust European defense strategy. Initiatives by the UK and France to strengthen military cooperation and deploy troops to Ukraine signal a growing recognition of this responsibility.

However, Europe’s ability to deter aggression depends on more than just military strength. Credible deterrence requires economic resilience, public preparedness, and a united political front. The Polish warning that NATO has three years to prepare for a potential Russian resurgence is a sobering benchmark. Delayed action risks emboldening adversaries who see divisions as opportunities.

The global security landscape is shifting. Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, China’s growing assertiveness, and the specter of nuclear escalation are challenges that demand a whole-of-society response. NATO’s call for businesses to prepare for war is not alarmist; it is pragmatic. Deterrence, as Admiral Bauer points out, is most effective when it prevents conflict before it begins.

This moment requires leadership, foresight, and cooperation. Governments must invest in defense and resilience, businesses must prioritize security over cost-cutting, and citizens must adapt to a new normal where preparedness is not an option but a necessity. The stakes are high, but with decisive action, the West can navigate these challenges and secure a more stable future.

Reflection: Bold Leadership in Turbulent Times

As I reflect on the gravity of Admiral Bauer’s warnings, I’m reminded of the urgency behind the projects I’ve been blessed to work on, including The Trump Code, Revelation 911, Your Mission in God’s Army, and the “77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting a Final Great Awakening” campaign, encouraging people to keep praying, fasting and repenting from November 5 to January 20, Inauguration Day.

These works are not just books or campaigns—they are calls to action for a nation and a world on the precipice of profound change.

In Day 22: Be Strong and Courageous – Praying for Boldness to Lead in God’s Direction, we highlight the necessity of stepping forward with faith and courage in the face of immense challenges. The same is true today as NATO and global leaders grapple with rising tensions and threats to freedom. Our ability to confront these challenges depends on more than military might; it requires spiritual resolve, moral clarity, and bold leadership rooted in God’s direction.

Revelation 911 explores the prophetic intersection between ancient Scripture and today’s headlines. It calls us to spiritual preparedness and vigilance in these perilous times. Similarly, The Trump Code delves into the deeper forces shaping our world, unveiling how history, prophecy, and destiny converge in our era. These themes resonate profoundly in a world where the economy is increasingly a battleground, and resilience—both spiritual and material—is critical.

In the annals of American presidential history, there is no more peculiar tale than the eerie similarities between former President Donald Trump and a series of novels called, The Baron Trump Collection, penned by the obscure yet seemingly prophetic hand of American lawyer and novelist Ingersoll Lockwood in the late 1800s. Discover more in Troy Anderson’s new book the #1 bestseller The Trump Code. Listen to a free excerpt on Audible.

In these uncertain times, it is essential to draw strength from God, seek wisdom in prayer, and stand firm in the truths that anchor us. Boldness is not about fearlessness; it’s about stepping forward despite fear, trusting that God is with us every step of the way. As we pray for our leaders, our nation, and our world, let us also pray for the courage to rise to this moment and lead in God’s direction.

This is our “Nineveh Moment”—a time to repent, prepare, and ignite a spiritual awakening that will shape our destiny. Let us be strong and courageous, knowing that God’s hand is upon us, and the best defense begins with unwavering faith.

Breaking #2: The Tide Turns: Trump’s Ultimatums, DOJ Shakeups, and the Dawn of a New Era

As someone who has spent years examining the undercurrents of American politics, I never cease to be amazed at the seismic shifts that occur when least expected. November 25, 2024, marked one of those pivotal moments—a day laden with announcements that signal a turning point not only in the Trump presidency but also in the trajectory of America’s political and economic landscape.

It began with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s stunning withdrawal of charges against President Donald Trump regarding the 2020 election. For months, these cases loomed over Trump’s campaign like a dark cloud, with many questioning the motives behind such unprecedented legal challenges. Yet, as Smith’s court filing revealed, prosecuting a sitting or incoming president conflicts with constitutional principles—a sentiment echoed by Trump himself, who called the move a “victory for the rule of law.”

Adding to the intrigue, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams of the Southern District of New York announced his resignation. Williams, known for prosecuting high-profile figures like Rudy Giuliani and Sam Bankman-Fried, became a symbol of the Justice Department’s aggressive posture against conservatives. His exit underscores a larger shift within the DOJ as Trump prepares to take office. If reports are accurate, incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi will adopt a “scorched-earth” policy to hold accountable those who weaponized the justice system for political gain.

Trump’s Ultimatums to China, Mexico, and Canada

While the legal developments were striking, Trump’s bold economic declarations stole the headlines. In two fiery posts on Truth Social, the president-elect issued ultimatums to China, Mexico, and Canada, targeting fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration.

Trump’s plan includes a 10% tariff on Chinese goods until Beijing enforces its promise to impose the death penalty on fentanyl traffickers. Equally striking, he vowed a 25% tariff on all Mexican and Canadian imports unless these nations take immediate action to curb illegal immigration. “America will no longer tolerate open borders and rampant drug trafficking,” he wrote, calling for decisive measures to protect American sovereignty.

These are not empty threats. Markets reacted almost instantly, with the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar tumbling, and the yuan taking a hit. Trump’s economic strategy, grounded in tariffs and renegotiated trade deals, could reshape global commerce while restoring a sense of accountability among America’s trade partners.

Musk, Ramaswamy, and the DOGE Plan: A Leaner Federal Government

Amid these political and economic upheavals, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy unveiled a sweeping plan to downsize the federal bureaucracy. As leaders of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), their proposal targets outdated regulations and redundant departments, aiming to restore constitutional limits on government power.

Their approach, rooted in a mix of advanced technologies and Supreme Court precedents, promises to dismantle the so-called “deep state.” By auditing federal agencies, rescinding unauthorized regulations, and streamlining operations, DOGE could save taxpayers trillions while fostering economic freedom. The boldest aspect? Mandating federal employees return to five-day office workweeks, which Musk and Ramaswamy predict will spur voluntary resignations and accelerate downsizing.

The Bigger Picture: A New Era of Accountability

These developments represent more than political theater—they mark a potential turning point in America’s future. Trump’s tariffs and ultimatums, paired with DOJ reforms and government restructuring, suggest a renewed focus on national sovereignty, economic independence, and constitutional integrity.

For years, critics have argued that federal overreach and partisan weaponization of institutions eroded public trust. The moves announced on November 25 suggest a concerted effort to restore that trust. But make no mistake—these actions will face fierce resistance from entrenched interests at home and abroad.

As I reflect on these transformative events, I am reminded of a recurring theme in the prophetic landscape: the battle for America’s soul. Trump’s leadership, for all its controversies, represents a stand against the forces that seek to undermine the nation’s foundations. Whether one agrees with his policies or not, the stakes could not be higher.

America is at a crossroads. The choices made in the coming months will shape the nation for generations. Will we embrace this bold vision of reform, or will we allow the status quo to persist? One thing is certain: history is unfolding before our eyes, and the world is watching.

Weeks 4-8: Divine Guidance and Governance (Inspired by Joshua) 77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Day 22: Be Strong and Courageous – Praying for Boldness to Lead in God’s Direction

Focus: Courage in Leadership and Unwavering Faith

Scripture:
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." – Joshua 1:9
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline." – 2 Timothy 1:7

Reflection:
When Joshua was chosen to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, God commanded him to be strong and courageous, assuring him of His presence. This call to courage wasn’t based on Joshua’s own abilities but on God’s promise to be with him. Similarly, as we pray for our nation’s leaders, we ask that they, too, find strength in God’s presence, relying on His guidance to lead with boldness and integrity.

Today, we lift up President Trump and his team, asking God to fill them with courage to lead America in a godly direction. As Joshua needed faith to overcome obstacles and bring his people to a place of blessing, may our leaders have the courage to seek God’s will, standing strong in the face of challenges. Let us also embrace this call to be courageous in our own lives, trusting that God is with us in every step.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your promise to be with us, guiding us through every challenge. Today, we pray for President Trump, his team, and all those in leadership, asking that You grant them strength and courage to lead with integrity and faithfulness. May they not be discouraged by opposition but stand firm in Your truth, leading our nation in a direction that honors You.

Help us all to remember that our courage comes from You alone. Strengthen us to face our own challenges with unwavering faith, knowing that You walk with us in every situation.

In the Mighty name of Jesus, I invoke the standing order of Almighty God to protect my family and our beloved country, America, from every attack, to propel us above every circumstance and crisis, and to prevent any weapon formed against us from prospering, so that we will not fall or fail but will be overcomers, more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. I command angels to surround us, to uphold and guard us in all our ways. Amen.

Wisdom for Awakening:
Courage grows when we focus on God’s promises instead of our fears. Today, remember that God is with you, empowering you to act boldly and faithfully.

Action for Awakening:
Identify an area in your life where you need courage. Pray for God’s strength to help you take a step forward in faith. Encourage someone else today, reminding them of God’s promise to be with them wherever they go.

Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with boldness and strength to face each day with courage. May He empower our leaders with faith and resolve to guide our nation in a direction that aligns with His will. May we walk forward with confidence, trusting in God’s constant presence and guidance.

God bless!
