Special Feature #1: Plunged Into Purpose: A Journey of Faith, Tenacity, and Revival
By Shilo Creed | Author of Plunged
I never planned on being a writer. My mother had all she could do to keep enough books in front of me, as I was an insatiable reader. Still, that one book, the one that was perfect (to me, at least) never appeared. There was just one thing to do; write it! So I did, and that story made me happy. I self-published it, but it was soon lost in the sea of millions of books online. Since writing wasn’t my plan, I let it go and went on with life.
Maybe you have experienced the way God works by consistently bringing His will in front of you over and over? It was certainly the case for me with writing. Though it took a while, I got the message, and went back to work on another book. Anything worthwhile isn’t easy, and years zipped by as I honed writing skills and grew so much as a follower of Christ.
As a busy homeschool mom, finding time to be faithful to God’s calling required tenacity and creativity. Being interrupted while writing was frustrating, so the only time I had to write was from 5:30 a.m. until the kids got up around 7. Also, we were traveling the country in an RV for years with my husband’s job, so I would sit cross-legged in the tiny bathroom so I wouldn’t wake the children with the light. I wrote so many books in that bathroom. Four people, three dogs, one camper. We had a blast!
The entire time, I knew God was calling me to write one series. One that told the story of my divine healing from a serious heart condition. One that encouraged people to go deeper in faith, one that spurred them to fight the evil that’s in this world with the Word of God. For ten years, He led me closer to the story, and He helped me learn how to write with more skill. Then, Plunged was born. Really, that is how it felt, as if it was something I carried for so long, then, it came into the world. Its purpose is this: to bring revival to the body of Christ.
So dive into Plunged today, and see where the Holy Spirit leads you! ~ Shilo

Breaking News #1: Crossing Into New Territory: The Trump Transition, Rising Threats, and America’s Spiritual Crossroads
By Troy Anderson
Author of The Trump Code, Revelation 911 and Your Mission in God’s Army
The recent threats against members of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team are not just attacks on individuals—they are symptomatic of a deeper, spiritual and cultural battle for the soul of America. As we witness violent attempts to intimidate those serving our nation, we must ask ourselves: what kind of country are we becoming, and where are we headed?
The news that at least nine members of the Trump transition team, along with their families, were targeted with bomb threats and "swatting" incidents underscores the volatile crossroads at which America now stands. These are not isolated events; they are harbingers of the spiritual and political challenges confronting our nation.
As a journalist and author who has explored America’s prophetic destiny in The Trump Code and Revelation 911, I believe these events call for reflection, prayer, and decisive action. We are on Day 23 of the 77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening campaign, and this moment serves as a critical reminder of the spiritual warfare waged over this nation.
A Nation Under Siege
Violent threats against public officials are reprehensible, but their motivations are revealing. Consider the case of Representative Lee Zeldin, who received a bomb threat with a "pro-Palestinian-themed message." This attack, steeped in antisemitism and political extremism, reflects the interconnectedness of global and domestic tensions. Similarly, the threats against Elise Stefanik and Lori Chavez-DeRemer during Thanksgiving—a time meant for gratitude and unity—highlight how political divisions now invade even the most sacred moments of family life.
Yet, these events also reflect a deeper reality: America is at war not only with external adversaries but with internal forces of division, fear, and spiritual decay. In Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and I explore how ancient prophecies mirror modern events, warning us that we are living in tumultuous times foretold in Scripture. These warnings call us to vigilance and faith, not despair.
A Call to Action: Spiritual and Political Renewal
The threats faced by Trump’s transition team also reveal something profound about leadership in these times: it is not for the faint of heart. President-elect Trump’s resilience and the swift response by law enforcement demonstrate a commitment to overcoming intimidation. But political courage alone will not heal our nation.
This is why I launched the 77 Days to Take Back America campaign of prayer, fasting and repentance from November 5 to January 20, Inauguration Day, in collaboration with prominent faith leaders such as Pastor Paul Begley, Rev. Kevin Jessip, co-founder of The Return International, Dr. Larry Keefauver, Dr. Paul McGuire, and others. Through partnerships with leading Christian media outlets, including Charisma Media and Dr. Bruce Oliver’s Top 100 Christian Podcast, I have been honored to share this vision in interviews and discussions.
We are not merely witnessing a battle for political power; we are experiencing a profound spiritual awakening that calls for active participation. Each day, this campaign invites us to unite in prayer, reflection, and action as we seek divine guidance for America’s future.
On Day 23: Crossing Into New Territory, we focus on praying for wisdom and discernment as we navigate this new season. As the threats against Trump’s team show, entering new territory—whether spiritually or politically—requires faith, courage, and reliance on God’s protection.

Crossroads and Prophetic Parallels
In The Trump Code, I delve into the prophetic patterns surrounding President Trump’s leadership. These threats are not coincidental; they are a continuation of the spiritual battle we have seen intensify in recent years.
Just as Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, we find ourselves at a threshold where boldness and faith are required. Yet, as with any crossing, there are giants in the land. The threats against public officials, the growing political violence, and the societal divisions are those giants.
The key is remembering that we do not fight these battles alone. Scripture reminds us in 2 Chronicles 20:15: “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
Moving Forward: A Season of Awakening
As we press forward in the 77 Days to Take Back America campaign, I invite you to join me in praying for:
The safety of President-elect Trump, his family, and his team.
The unity of our nation amid rising tensions and divisions.
A final great awakening that will restore America to its foundational values.
Let us reflect on this pivotal moment in history not as a time of despair but as an opportunity to step into new territory with renewed faith and courage. As the threats against Trump’s team show, we cannot take safety or stability for granted. Instead, we must turn to God for protection, wisdom, and guidance.
America’s journey is far from over. As I write in Revelation 911, we are witnessing the intersection of prophecy and current events—a call for spiritual revival that can reshape our nation’s future. Together, let us heed this call, cross into new territory, and work toward a nation grounded in faith, hope, and unity.

Breaking News #2: The Tariff Hammer and the Drone Age: Trump’s Bold Strategies and Musk’s Vision for Future Warfare
By Troy Anderson
Co-Founder of Revelation Watchers
📺 Watch Breaking: Trump’s Tariff Strategy & Musk’s Drone Vision | Trade, Defense & Prophecy
Recent global events reveal two pivotal issues: trade and defense. Former President Donald Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk—leaders with starkly different focuses—have sparked waves in their respective domains. Trump’s tariff threats have reshaped North American trade dynamics, while Musk’s sharp critique of traditional military strategies signals the dawn of the drone age.
On November 25, Trump announced that, if re-elected, he would impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico until both countries take measures to curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking across their borders. This bold strategy directly targets America’s largest trading partners. For example, 60% of U.S. oil imports come from Canada, and Mexico plays a vital role in the American automotive supply chain.
The announcement triggered swift responses. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urgently called Trump, expressing a willingness to cooperate and de-escalate trade tensions. Meanwhile, Mexico’s president pledged stricter control over migration while subtly suggesting that U.S. military spending could be better used for fostering peace and development to address root causes.
This strategy underscores Trump’s negotiation acumen. Arizona Congressman Abe Hamadeh remarked that the swift reactions from Canadian and Mexican leaders demonstrate Trump’s influence. It also highlights that the U.S. government has the capacity to resolve the border crisis—it’s merely a matter of determination and execution.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, further reinforced this tough stance by threatening severe consequences for sanctuary city leaders who obstruct mass deportations. Homan’s firm message—“Don’t test us”—illustrates the administration’s resolve to enforce border security through federal and local collaboration.
Elon Musk and the Drone Era: Challenging Conventional Military Thinking
Meanwhile, Elon Musk has turned his attention to modern warfare, openly criticizing the U.S. Department of Defense’s reliance on the F-35 fighter jet program. Musk declared, “Only a fool would continue producing the F-35,” emphasizing that drones are the future of military conflict.
Musk’s assertion isn’t without merit. Recent incidents involving unidentified drones near U.S. and European military installations have sparked widespread concern about espionage. In November, multiple drones were detected near U.S. Air Force bases in England, raising alarms about their potential for surveillance or sabotage. Similarly, a mysterious swarm of drones hovered over Virginia’s Langley Air Force Base for 17 days in late 2023, underscoring vulnerabilities in U.S. airspace.
A riveting account of current events as foretold in the mysterious Book of Revelation. Are we teetering on the edge of the end of time? Discover more in the #1 bestseller Revelation 911 by Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson.
At the same time, a declassified Pentagon report exposed significant flaws in the F-35 program, including astronomical maintenance costs and reliability issues. The report concluded that the F-35’s role as a versatile, stealth-capable fighter is undermined by its high costs and operational inefficiencies.
Musk argues that drones are far superior to manned fighter jets. They’re cheaper, more agile, and eliminate the need for human pilots, making them ideal for modern warfare scenarios. The rise of drones, Musk asserts, marks a fundamental shift in military strategy. He envisions a future where drones dominate combat, rendering expensive fighter jets like the F-35 obsolete.
Challenges and Opportunities Ahead
Trump’s tariff strategy and Musk’s military insights reflect a broader theme: challenging the status quo. On one hand, Trump demonstrates how economic leverage can protect national interests and compel change. On the other, Musk urges military leaders to rethink traditional approaches and embrace technological innovation.
While Trump’s tariff policies may address border security concerns, they also risk disrupting trade and economic stability for Canada and Mexico. Meanwhile, Musk’s push for a drone-centric military raises questions about how nations will balance technological advancements with ethical and strategic considerations in warfare.
Both leaders highlight the need for bold action in the face of modern challenges. Whether reshaping trade policies or reimagining defense strategies, their approaches challenge existing norms and demand a fresh perspective.
The world stands at a crossroads. How leaders respond to these shifting dynamics will determine the trajectory of global politics and security in the years to come.
Reflection: The Intersection of Trade, Defense, and Prophecy
The events detailed in this story are more than a snapshot of current affairs—they are a reflection of deeper, prophetic patterns explored in my books, The Trump Code and Revelation 911. These moments in history reveal how economic policies and technological advancements are interwoven with spiritual and geopolitical realities.
In The Trump Code, I examine how President Trump’s bold strategies, such as his tariff policies, resonate with his role as a disruptor of the status quo. His plan to impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico represents not only a tactical move to address illegal immigration and drug trafficking but also a larger effort to reclaim America’s sovereignty and protect its borders. Trump’s ability to compel swift responses from world leaders like Justin Trudeau and Mexico’s president underscores his negotiating prowess. It also reflects the broader question of whether the United States has the will to solve complex crises or will continue to defer action.
At the same time, Musk’s vision of a drone-centric military aligns with themes I delve into in Revelation 911. The rise of drones represents a profound shift in modern warfare, echoing the technological and spiritual battles described in ancient prophecies. Musk’s critique of traditional military reliance on costly and inefficient fighter jets like the F-35 reveals an urgent need to adapt to a rapidly changing landscape. As drones fill the skies, their potential for both innovation and destruction reminds us of the dual-edged nature of technological progress.
A Prophetic Call to Action
Both Trump’s economic measures and Musk’s military vision highlight a pivotal moment in human history. These developments are not merely political or technological—they are spiritual. In Revelation 911, I explore how global events mirror the warnings and promises found in Scripture. The challenges we face today, whether in trade, defense, or diplomacy, are part of a greater battle for the soul of nations.
This is why we are pressing forward in the 77 Days to Take Back America campaign, a movement rooted in the belief that spiritual renewal must accompany political and technological change. On Day 23: Crossing Into New Territory, we reflect on the courage required to confront unprecedented challenges and the faith needed to embrace divine guidance
.As the enemy wages war against the Lord's army and the world hurls toward the Second Coming of Christ, God has a unique Kingdom deployment for each of us. Discover more in Col. David Giammona and Troy Anderson’s new book Your Mission in God’s Army.
The Road Ahead
The intersection of trade and defense, as seen in Trump’s tariffs and Musk’s advocacy for drones, presents both challenges and opportunities. It calls for bold leadership, innovative thinking, and a reliance on values that transcend politics. These are the themes I explore in my books: the importance of discernment, the power of unity, and the enduring relevance of biblical prophecy in shaping our understanding of current events.
As the world stands at a crossroads, the choices we make today will define the future. By seeking divine wisdom and engaging in prayerful reflection, we can navigate these uncharted territories and build a nation that not only addresses the crises of the present but also prepares for the promise of what lies ahead.
Let us move forward with clarity, courage, and an unwavering trust in God’s plan for our lives and our nation. Together, we can rise to meet the challenges of our time and fulfill the prophetic destiny that calls us to a brighter, more united future.

It is God’s will for us to rejoice, give thanks, and always be in prayer...

📺 Watch Day 23 Devotional: 77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening
Weeks 4-8: Courage and Obedience in a New Era (Inspired by Joshua)
77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Day 23: Crossing Into New Territory – Praying for Divine Guidance in a New Season
Focus: Praying for guidance, courage, and faith as we step into a new season for America.
Scripture:
"The Lord said to Joshua, ‘Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.’" – Joshua 3:7
"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’" – Isaiah 30:21
Reflection:
When Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River and into the Promised Land, he guided them into unfamiliar territory with faith and obedience. This bold step was more than a physical journey; it was a testament to their trust in God’s promise for a new future. Similarly, as we pray for America, we envision a season filled with hope, unity, and restoration. We pray for divine guidance as we cross into this new territory, trusting God to lead us forward.
Today, let us lift up our leaders and communities, asking for God’s wisdom to guide them as we navigate this new season. Just as Joshua depended on God’s voice to direct his every step, may our leaders be attuned to God’s guidance, leading America into a future filled with His presence. We also pray that each of us will be open to God’s direction, stepping into new opportunities with courage and obedience.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the new season You are bringing to America. Just as You led Joshua and the Israelites across the Jordan into the Promised Land, we ask that You guide President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all our leaders as they lead this nation into a time of hope, unity, and faith. Grant them wisdom to navigate the challenges of this new era, and help them to rely on Your guidance in every decision.
Lord, may each of us also be sensitive to Your leading, stepping forward in faith and obedience. Help us to trust in Your promises and to walk boldly into the opportunities You have prepared for us.
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:
As we enter new territory, trust that God is guiding each step. Today, listen for His voice, confident that He will lead you in the way you should go.
Action for Awakening:
Spend a moment in quiet prayer, asking God to reveal any areas of your life where He is calling you to step forward with courage. Reflect on one action you can take today to follow His lead.
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with courage and clarity as you step into new opportunities. May He guide our leaders with divine wisdom, leading them to make choices that honor Him and bless our nation. May this new season be filled with unity, faith, and the hope of His promises.
God bless!
God bless!
