Special Feature #1: On the Brink: A World in Turmoil and the Urgent Call to Faith
This past Sunday, I watched Pastor Paul Begley for a powerful edition of his Sunday online church show, "Breaking: On The Brink." As Pastor Paul opened the broadcast with his signature "Are you serious?!" I knew we were in for an urgent discussion about the events unfolding in our world.
The title of the show, "On The Brink," encapsulates where we stand in history—on the precipice of global upheaval. Pastor Paul painted a vivid picture of our times: governmental collapses, coups, political imprisonments, riots, warfare, and even threats of nuclear annihilation. It’s a stark reminder of the perilous days the Bible foretells, as we explore in our #1 bestseller Revelation 911.
One of the highlights of the show was hearing from Israel Hall, who recently returned from a ministry trip to Israel. As he recounted his experiences amidst the ongoing war and the resilience of the Israeli people, I was moved by the accounts of faith shining in the darkest moments. Israel described walking through areas ravaged by the October 7 Hamas attacks, meeting survivors who clung to hope despite unimaginable suffering. His interviews with military leaders and worship gatherings on Mount Carmel emphasized the unshakeable bond between Jews and Christians and our shared mission to stand for truth and righteousness.
Pastor Paul’s message resonated deeply as he reminded us of the spiritual battle we are in. We are witnessing prophetic signs that align with biblical warnings about the end times. The world is grappling with wars and rumors of wars, natural disasters, and moral decline—all signs that the return of Christ is near.
As Pastor Paul shared updates from around the globe—ongoing missile strikes from Hezbollah into Israel, anti-Semitic violence in the United Arab Emirates, political turmoil in Haiti, and threats from Russia and China—it became clear how interconnected these events are. He spoke of the mounting spiritual warfare, encouraging us to armor ourselves with the Word of God and prayer.
Hearing about the resilience of Christians and Jews standing together in Israel gave me hope. Their unwavering faith amidst adversity is a testament to the power of God at work. Similarly, Pastor Paul highlighted the importance of the church's role in these times. From sending Bibles and prayer blankets to spreading the gospel through conferences and online ministry, every effort matters.
This Sunday was a stark reminder that we are called to be "salt and light" in a world increasingly consumed by darkness. Pastor Paul issued a powerful call to action—urging us to dive into Scripture, seek God in prayer, and stand firm in our faith. Whether we’re supporting ministries, praying for the persecuted, or sharing the gospel with our neighbors, we all have a role to play.
As I reflect on this broadcast, I am reminded of the urgent need for revival. The world is on the brink, but as Pastor Paul so passionately shared, this is not a time for fear. It is a time for the church to rise. We must prepare spiritually and practically, as the challenges ahead demand courage and unwavering faith.
In this season of thanksgiving and reflection, let’s recommit ourselves to God’s work. Let’s be vigilant, prayerful, and steadfast in our mission to bring the hope of Jesus to a world in chaos. Together, we can be the light that shines in the darkness, proclaiming the truth of the gospel and the imminent return of Christ.
As Pastor Paul says, “We are on the brink, but with Jesus, we are never without hope.” Let us embrace this call with boldness, trusting that God is in control and that His kingdom will prevail.

Special Feature #2: Forgiveness, Faith, and the Road Ahead: Reflecting on Leadership and Grace
📺 Watch Breaking: Trump’s Forgiveness Shocks Critics… Elon Acquires MSNBC???
In these remarkable times, I find myself reflecting deeply on the principles that have shaped not only our nation but also our faith as followers of Christ. Abraham Lincoln once said,
The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend.
This wisdom aligns beautifully with the teachings of Jesus, who instructed us to forgive those who wrong us, extending grace even to our adversaries. As Matthew 6:14-15 reminds us:
If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
These words resonate powerfully as we navigate the divisions in our society today. Forgiveness, mercy, and reconciliation are more critical than ever in healing the wounds of a fractured nation.
Recently, President Donald Trump extended an olive branch to some of his fiercest critics—MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Despite years of personal attacks and political hostility, President Trump demonstrated the profound act of forgiving his detractors and seeking dialogue for the good of the nation. His statement, "I have always hoped to give people second and even third chances," is a powerful reminder that forgiveness is not about capitulation but about courage and conviction.
As believers, we know forgiveness doesn’t mean the absence of justice or accountability. Proverbs 3:12 tells us,
For the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
Discipline, when done with love, seeks to correct and guide, fostering repentance and restoration.
Looking forward, as President Trump takes significant steps toward fulfilling his vision for America, such as addressing the policies around transgender military service and reforms within the Department of Justice, we are reminded of the need for both principle and compassion in leadership. These measures are not without controversy, but they underscore a leader’s responsibility to ensure national security, uphold moral clarity, and restore trust in institutions.
On another intriguing note, Elon Musk's potential interest in acquiring MSNBC has sparked significant conversations about the future of media. As a trailblazer in technology and innovation, Musk’s involvement could signal transformative changes, potentially restoring trust and balance to journalism in a time when truth feels elusive. Proverbs 18:15 reminds us,
An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
May we remain discerning as we witness these shifts in our cultural landscape.
Seeking Wisdom for Difficult Decisions
As we reflect on these developments, I invite you to join me in prayer as part of the 77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening. On Day 21, we focus on "Seeking Wisdom for Difficult Decisions – Praying for Divine Guidance." Scripture assures us in
- James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Let us approach the throne of grace together, asking for the wisdom we need to navigate these tumultuous times.
Revelation 911: Decoding Prophecy in Our Time
In these challenging moments, our faith is our anchor. That’s why Pastor Paul Begley and I wrote Revelation 911: How the Book of Revelation Intersects with Today's Headlines. This book explores the prophetic mysteries of the book of Revelation and their unfolding in the modern era. It serves as both a warning and a call to spiritual preparedness. With the world facing escalating tensions and unprecedented changes, understanding how biblical prophecy intersects with current events has never been more urgent.
The Trump Code: Understanding America's Destiny
Similarly, my latest book, the #1 bestseller The Trump Code (Charisma House/FrontLine) delves into the profound spiritual and historical dynamics surrounding President Trump’s leadership, the mysteries of time, and America’s prophetic destiny. This book explores the uncanny parallels between today’s events and the novels by Ingersoll Lockwood, offering insights into what God may be revealing about our future. In this pivotal election season, The Trump Code is a clarion call for believers to discern the times, seek the Lord, and act in faith.

Friends, as we reflect on these events and seek God’s wisdom, let us remember that we are part of His great plan. Forgiveness, reconciliation, and truth are not just ideals—they are imperatives for us as believers. Together, let us pray for our leaders, for unity in our nation, and for the final great awakening that will reignite our faith and restore the soul of America.
May God bless you abundantly as you seek His guidance and join this movement for revival and renewal. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, and trust in His perfect will for our lives and our nation.

Praying for Our Leaders to Be Promise Keepers - Dr. Larry Keefauver’s Prayer Guide
We are in a season of 77 days of prayer for saving America. We have completed 40 days of prayer, fasting, and repentance prior to the election of President Trump. In His Mercy. God has snacked us out of the jaws of evil and given us a season for reviving, restoration, and the opportunity to redeem the times from evil. In these end times, God has given us a nation founded on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—blessing and prosperity.
Today we pray that Trump, Vance, and the proposed appointees to the Cabinet and Executive positions in our government and all our elected leaders to humble themselves before Almighty God and to faithfully keep any promises, vows or oaths they take in serving America. As King of the Nation, David declared,
My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
The poor shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the Lord. Let your heart live forever!
(Psalm 22:25-26)
Almighty God, we pray for America’s elected and appointed leaders, that they will honor and keep every vow, oath, and pledge they make declaring, “So help me God.” Grant them the integrity and diligence to faithfully do their duty to God and America so that blessing will come upon America and all its citizens. Thank you, Lord for having our forefathers declare that this is One Nation Under God. In Thy Holy Name, Amen.
Today may the prayer of President George Washington in his prayer journal on Tuesday evening be the prayer of America’s leaders and citizens...(Prayers of the Presidents, p. 208)
I have sinned against heaven and before thee, in thought, word
& deed; I have contemned thy majesty and holy laws. I have likewise sinned by omitting what I ought to have done, and committing what
I ought not. I have rebelled against light, despised thy mercies and judgments, and broken my vows and promises; I have neglected the means of Grace, and opportunities of becoming better; my iniquities are multiplies, and my sins are very great. I confess them, O Lord, with shame and sorrow, detestation and loathing, and desire to be
vile in my own eyes, as I have rendered myself vile in thine. I humbly beseech thee to be merciful to me in the free pardon of my sins, for the sake of thy dear Son, my only saviour, J. C., who came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance; be pleased to renew my nature and write thy laws upon my heart, and help me to live, righteously,
soberly, and godly in this evil world; make me humble, meek, patient and contented, and work in me the grace of thy holy spirit. prepare me for death and judgment, and let the thoughts thereof awaken me to a greater care and study to approve myself unto thee in well doing. bless our rulers in church & state. Help all in affliction or adversity —give them patience and a sanctified use of their affliction, and in thy good time deliverance from them; forgive my enemies, take me unto thy protection this day, keep me in perfect peace, which I ask in the name & for the sake of Jesus. Amen.

Week 3: Boldness and Courage in Leadership (Inspired by Esther)
77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Day 21: Seeking Wisdom for Difficult Decisions – Praying for Divine Guidance
Focus: Praying for courage, strength, and boldness for President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other leaders to stand for what is right.
Scripture:
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." – James 1:5
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." – Proverbs 3:5-6
Reflection:
On the Day 17 of our “77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening” campaign of prayer, fasting and repentance, before approaching the king, Esther sought God’s wisdom and guidance, praying and fasting for insight in her life-or-death decision. Her willingness to seek God’s direction reminds us that in challenging moments, we can find clarity and strength by leaning on Him. Esther’s example shows us the importance of not relying solely on our own understanding but instead trusting God to guide our steps.
Today, we pray for our leaders to seek divine wisdom in every decision. May President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and others in positions of authority lean on God’s guidance rather than human understanding, allowing His wisdom to shape their choices for the good of the nation. As we pray for them, let us also seek God’s wisdom in our own lives, trusting Him to lead us in the right direction.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for being the source of all wisdom. We pray today for President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all our leaders, asking that You grant them divine insight and clarity in every decision they face. May they seek Your guidance and lean on Your understanding, trusting You to make their paths straight.
Help us, Lord, to remember that Your wisdom is available to all who ask. Give us the humility to seek You first in every situation, knowing that You will provide the answers and direction we need.
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:
God’s wisdom is a gift He freely gives to those who ask. Today, seek His wisdom in every area of your life, trusting that He will guide you through any challenge.
Action for Awakening:
Spend a moment in prayer asking God for wisdom in a specific area of your life. If you know someone else who is facing a difficult decision, offer to pray with them, asking for God’s guidance and clarity.
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with divine wisdom and understanding. May He guide our leaders with clarity and insight, helping them to make decisions rooted in truth and justice. May we all seek His wisdom daily, trusting Him to lead us forward in faith and courage.
God bless!
