Prognosticators Of Doom

by Lori Anne Hale May 8, 2023

written by Lori Anne Hale

Shall the impending ruination predicted by some concerning America’s future, manifest? I think not. For these so called prognosticators of doom have forgotten to add Me into their summations. Though the enemy has been quick to advance his lines in an aggressive push to embed himself more deeply into the soil of this nation, his attempt to establish full dominion over America shall fail; and so shall she continue to stand as a beacon of hope throughout this world.

Then simply because it appears in the physical sense that evil is winning does not mean this is true. For it is not with the natural eye that this current battle over America can be correctly assessed, as the greater campaign is being waged in the unseen. And since not a person alive possesses the vision to comprehend the entirety of this war (as My children are only given glimpses into the supernatural plain), who then can accurately determine its outcome? No one, save Me!

Then suddenly and without warning shall the enemy’s advancement be stopped dead in its tracks, and thus shall My hand drive his lines back. For he has far exceeded the boundaries I have established, those set in accordance with My Sovereign Will. As such shall those agents of darkness, and anyone else who has partnered with that wicked dragon from the far east, be brought down low. For in arrogance did these conspire to overthrow My authority by setting themselves up as the governing body that would rule over the earth. Yet shall I cause an abrupt interruption to their treacherous scheme, which shall cause confusion to rain down upon their heads, and thereby shall they then turn in upon each other, thus bringing an end to their attempt at globalization.

However, before this occurs, the people of this nation shall be further encumbered by needless and unnecessary restrictions designed to stifle their voice and inhibit their freedom. Yet this effort to censor words and repress autonomy is, in all actuality, an assault against My Throne. For the dragon from the far east aims to establish himself as the supreme leader of this world, controlling not only the flow of commerce and the monetization of all human life (where his system of order alone determines the value of a person’s worth), but, it should be remembered, to suppress the right to openly worship My name, which is, indeed, his ultimate aim.

Then in this current season of warfare am I honing the weapon of perseverance amongst the elect, so that My ranks don’t easily crumble under the added weight of adversity that is sure to come against their lives. Therefore, determine in your hearts even now to hold the line of faith, as the enemy is already setting as targets the weak-minded who dwell among you, as these he can easily lure away.

Hear Me, then, dear ones: Do not become embittered over the intentional hardship that has been levied upon you. Instead, stand as one, ready to joyfully endure even greater adversity, as you know, within this momentary affliction lies the keys for spiritual advancement. For surely shall those who persevere apprehend a deeper understanding of who I Am, and what it truly means to fight the good fight of faith.

So then continue to hold your ground, as those unwilling to exchange your hope for the lies of doubt. Hold with an unwavering resolve to see this current campaign through until its end.

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” -Romans 5:3-5

Tumultuous Days Just Ahead

by Lori Anne Hale November 4, 2022

written by Lori Anne Hale

The arches have fallen! Those that stood erect for centuries are now just a pile of rubble, as this structure that many took for granted would always be standing, is lying in a heap on the ground. Ah, but is there any man-made structure that I cannot bring down?

Then those who continue to stand in arrogance shall once again be reminded that they are not the supreme authority governing this world, for there is One who reigns above every seat of power upon the earth. And so shall the “unexpected” continue to occur throughout the world, for the shaking that was predicted in this season has not yet been completed, and as such, shall there be a steady stream of unusual events reported.

So then, in some regions, a thick gray haze shall loom overhead, for the atmosphere shall grow dark and oppressive, making it appear as if the sun had been blotted out, for hope will be difficult to find. While elsewhere the ground shall seemingly open and swallow itself up causing an unforeseen catastrophe, for so great shall be the turbulence underfoot. And so it shall go until mankind is awakened from his stupor, causing many to fall upon their knees in repentance.

Therefore, prepare your ears to receive unwelcome news as I bring the high and mighty down low, for certainly shall the truth be revealed when their evil deeds are exposed. However, it is the depth of their depravity that shall be unsettling to hear. Don’t be surprised, then, when some who are notable are suddenly brought to account for their crimes, while others are consumed by death and darkness. For surely then they shall have exhausted every last chance to turn from their wickedness.

And so the headlines shall be strewn with stories of random occurrences and anomalies, with some labeled “An act of God”, as that is the only explanation fitting for the events that had transpired. But you who belong to Me shall know that, indeed, this is only evidence of My hand shaking the earth.

Then take heart, dear ones! For while you shall surely endure many tumultuous days just ahead, the length of this season has indeed been shortened. Therefore, don’t lose heart over the constant friction, but persevere, remaining committed to My cause, even when the shaking brings about added hardship to your own lives.

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:3-5

Hope

Normalcy

by Lori Anne Hale June 19, 2022

written by Lori Anne Hale

The wages of sin is death, of this, the world can be certain. Yet it is common for man to attempt the justification of his iniquitous behavior, believing that if he can change the moral boundaries of society, then suddenly his wrongs will become right, and thereby assuage his guilty conscience. However, simply because society tolerates or even legalizes sinfulness does not nullify My laws, for these shall always supersede those set by man, as each of My commandments still stands eternally established to govern all the inhabitants of Earth.

So though immorality is tolerated, or nay, even accepted as the cultural norm, it has no effect upon My statutes. For while the values of humanity may be in rapid decline, these mandates are irrevocable, and therefore do not change with the times. Understand then, that the blatant perversity parading through the streets of this nation brings this truth to light, as the deviant lifestyle which was once found objectionable by the majority is now being embraced as normal, even by some believers. But when did My stance on this matter shift? It has not!

Yet here again is another instance where the Church has stood virtually silent. For while quite a few may find those abhorrent acts offensive, most have chosen to look the other way, unwilling to join the battle against its spread, with the children of this nation paying the price for the complacent posture taken by most believers.

Then none should be surprised at the aggressive campaign now being waged upon the very young and impressionable in this country, as passivity has given a way for the enemy to plant his flag upon this ground, erecting a demonic stronghold, that unless driven out, shall cause greater suffering in the generations to come. For even now among your youth, acceptance of lascivious behavior is widespread.

Ah, but there still lies a chance for a different outcome, if only the Church would rise up and align with My battle plan. Again I say, the strategies that made headway in the past shall not lead to a decisive victory, for to sway this nation towards morality won’t be accomplished through public rallies, or be legislatively forced. It is the lie of “normalcy” that must be uprooted, and it is where you must strike your swords. For here is the point of origin that allowed the justification of perversity to stand among your people.

Then to safeguard the hearts of your children’s children you must take action now by setting a hedge of protection about them so that their minds are not easily ensnared with this same sort of wickedness. Let your prayers not only rest upon the evil of today but extend your warfare out beyond the here and now. For while your continuing efforts of intercession for this nation shall surely generate much damage to the enemy’s lines, this stronghold of “normalcy” shall not be fully broken until several generations have passed. Yet you must persist now upon this field of battle so that the ground is already softened for those warriors who are called forth after you.

“We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.” -1 Timothy 1:8-11

Days Of Ascent

by Lori Anne Hale February 7, 2022

written by Lori Anne Hale

Prefer to listen instead of read? Click here...

Have I not made My will known? Have I not spoken to My children that they have entered days of ascent, where I am beckoning them to step forward, to climb further up that high mountain of My holy habitation?

Yet most are content to stay exactly where they are, with their feet planted on a lower plateau. For to “press on” would require some discomfort, as surely their faith would be challenged should they choose to aim for the top of this majestic peak. Unfortunately, these lack the enthusiasm to forge ahead, which is the reason most have set up camp at much lower elevations.

Then like climbers with heavy packs, these children are strapped with “reluctance” upon their backs, and so are unwilling to trust that I have laid a sound path, and therefore, shall miss the spectacular vistas awarded those who stay true to My course, determined to scale the highest pinnacles of this endless terrain.

However, because this journey requires perseverance, and since very few have developed this necessary muscle, not many have traversed the vertical apex that leads to where My glory shines the brightest, though it is true that all are invited to join Me on this grand expedition. There is no reason for any to lag behind as all have been given permission to ascend without restrictions. I have not cordoned off any section of this route, setting it aside for only a small number of more qualified climbers to experience. It is simply an eager heart that breaks open the way to the endless stream of new and exciting encounters with Me.

So though the steepness of this slope only increases the higher an explorer climbs, I have already equipped each of My children with the necessary tools to scale the face of this summit. Then because not a single one can be found lacking the divinely designed instruments for spiritual ascent, what excuse have they for remaining on those lower plateaus?

Then it is time now to strike camp and venture onward. Cast off the pack filled with reluctance and, instead, lean in with perseverance: that useful tool bestowed upon you when Christ was allowed into your life. For all who are found in Him were blessed with this supernatural fortitude by way of Holy Spirit, and so are left without an excuse to remain any longer on a lower plateau.

So press back against your flesh which shall encourage you to make the easier choice, telling you, “it’s more reasonable to stay put”. Press in with your worship. Raise your voice with praise, and stand with a reverent heart and exalt My name. For here is the pathway that leads to ascension.

“Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not set his mind on what is false, and who has not sworn deceitfully. He will receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.” -Psalm 24:3-6

A Standing Order

by Lori Anne Hale January 27, 2022

written by Lori Anne Hale

Prefer to listen instead of read? Click here...

The chain of command has been broken in this nation, for those now found governing have sold their seats of authority to the highest bidder. So instead of this country being led by leaders dedicated to protecting it’s soil, the border gates were opened and the enemy was welcomed in. Although they have pledged their allegiance to this land, these legislators and politicians are a false-hearted bunch, for their true loyalties lie elsewhere, with a faraway nation, one that has hostile intent towards this people and the desire to destroy their way of life.

And so now this nation is like a drifting ship that has broken loose from her anchor. For when that mutineer seized command, he made a sharp left turn in an attempt to radically alter her course, thus adding great strain to her already weakened fundamental structure. Yet because the one now in charge and his band of cutthroats are all unfit to lead, an ethical breach has occurred, one that cannot be ignored. For if left unrepaired, this nation shall not recover those characteristics which set her apart from all the others.

So while the waves of adversity have begun to hit harder against this nation’s hull, causing societal attitudes to pitch to and fro, a tide of resurgence shall rise and start a reclamation, where this people as a whole, once again, assert their rights of self-governance, unfettered by government control. Then those loyalists who have dedicated their lives in service to their King, must stay true to their higher calling, which is to season this world with the Light of their Savior, and avoid entering the political conflict of the day.

So do not become distracted by what you hear coming out of Washington, for this is simply the enemy’s attempt to pull your attention away from the real battle fray. Instead, keep to My initial command which is to fight on your knees using the weapons designed for spiritual warfare; for this is a standing order and therefore remains unchanged.

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” -Matthew 5:13-16

Further In

Prefer to listen instead of read? Click here...

(Vision: I saw a large cavern filled with cages, suspended by chains above a deep pit, with a person perched inside each cage. I saw a dark, hooded being ready to pull a lever connected to the chains which would release the cages into the abyss.)

It’s time to rattle some cages so that many who are captive can be set free. For like prisoners serving a death sentence, these poor souls are bound, unable to escape their certain fate without receiving a full pardon. However, clemency for the guilty verdict hanging over their head is available to any who requests it, but first, they must be made aware of their need, as most of these are oblivious to the final judgment that awaits them.

Yet while it is clear that multitudes are on the verge of perishing, most who were called to be My ambassadors sit idly by without uttering a peep, keeping the message of salvation to themselves, not wanting to be thought a fool or face ridicule should they share how it is that their debt was forgiven and Who it was that liberated them. So instead of declaring this “Good News”, these timid children have hidden away the truth like a secret, one that only close confidants are told as if they were embarrassed to speak the name of their Savior to a stranger or bear witness of His love to their neighbor.

But because in this season I have called for a great harvest to be brought forth on the earth, the hearts of My children must be reinvigorated so that they are overflowing with unabashed joy, and thereby are compelled to proclaim the Good News with anyone and everyone who crosses their path. It is for that reason, that trying days lie ahead for the Church, for the coming affliction shall act as a springboard for the promised revival, which in turn shall cause the Gospel to spread like a blaze that cannot be quenched.

Then far and wide, wherever My children dwell, the prison doors of sin and death shall be unlocked, significantly adding to the number already redeemed, causing the sounds of great rejoicing to be heard in both heaven and on earth, for many who had been enslaved by the enemy will finally be set free.

And so, upon all sides, believers will feel hemmed in, as the spirit of oppression already present in the atmosphere shall greatly intensify, causing a sense of panic to rise in many of My children: those who are ill-prepared for the heightened level of adversity headed their way, as these continue to rely on their own understanding instead of listening with the ears of their spirit.

Yet for those who have heard My words, and have, therefore, discerned the season, these shall not know internal affliction, having already learned the discipline of sitting at My feet, waiting for Me to speak, undisturbed from within, knowing their peace is not conditional, and thereby, cannot be shaken regardless their circumstances. For they have trusted the course of their life to Me, even if that means enduring times of adversity, or facing intense persecution because they know that a better existence lies just beyond this world.

Then the charge to My own in this late hour is to press further in, for the enemy shall be unrelenting in his attacks, hoping to stumble the more gullible with his lies and deception. Therefore, it is not your own strength that shall see you through this season, but by the might and power of My Spirit at work within you. For this reason, there must be a letting go of any preconceived notions about how the battle ahead shall look. And although the enemy’s playbook is the same, his trickery shall fool even some who are considered to be spiritual giants, for he lays in wait, ready to ambush the whole assembly of believers.

So then, it’s “further in” that I am saying: “Further in, further in, further in”. For here you will develop the inner resilience to walk through these trying days unscathed, yet carrying a heightened sense of divine purpose, as there shall be a fresh impartation of My Spirit for those who follow Me here.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

From Out Of Nowhere

by Lori Anne Hale December 10, 2021

written by Lori Anne Hale

Prefer to listen instead of read? Click here...

Labor shortage? What labor shortage? Aren’t American households filled with plenty of able-bodied men and women capable of filling these positions?

Yet even still, businesses remain in desperate need of help. And because many who could be employed have opted to be less productive, businesses are now forced to adapt to a new operational paradigm, which in turn shall mean fewer and fewer jobs will soon be available, causing a true labor shortage. It is then that many will have no choice but to remain unemployed, becoming permanently dependent upon the state to sustain their lives. And while some will blame their predicament on the pandemic, the sad truth is that their hearts were led astray when they believed it was to their advantage to collect steady stipends from the government rather than to actually earn their keep.

Although some businesses have already had to close their doors due to the financial blow they suffered during the nationwide shutdown, this number shall only multiply as this season of adversity persists, dwindling down the pool of employment opportunities that exist in most communities.

If that wasn’t enough, added to this struggle to obtain and maintain steady employment will be the increased pressure of the government’s vaccination mandates, as very soon this decree will cause a greater depreciation in the number that are gainfully employed.

It is then that the hopelessness seen in other regions of the world shall appear on the streets of America, as the possibilities for a better future seem to have vanished, for the people no longer possess the strength to block the tyrannical rules now being set into place, those intended to limit personal freedoms by removing the rights of the individual to live as they see fit.

So just as it was in the not too distant past where the rates of inflation and joblessness both soared to uncomfortable heights, so shall these days be filled with the same apprehension, as the policies of this fraudulent administration are already leading this nation on that same downward trend.

But this negative turn shouldn’t cause My own any concern, for I am still able to meet all of their needs, even when the cost of living well exceeds their monthly paycheck. None who are Mine should consider themselves as living in a position of measure, where the only provision generated is that which is earned by their own hands. For you who belong to Me are able to dwell in peace, even though the world around you is filled with trouble at every turn.

Therefore, do not fret, for the One who created you is still more than capable of sustaining your life. So, face the days ahead from a position of internal rest, for don’t I still have the power to make provision appear from out of nowhere?

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

Press In With Your Prayers

by Lori Anne Hale October 7, 2021

written by Lori Anne Hale

Prefer to listen instead of read? Click here...

The avarice of man has overtaken this land; spreading like a plague, it has reached every border, infecting those already predisposed to agree with the voice of greed. Then it’s not just a few that shall be hard-pressed to make ends meet, as many will be asked to produce bricks without any straw.

Surely difficult days lie ahead for this nation, as harsh taskmasters are now running the show, those that are more prone to be heavy-handed with the whip, and so are looking to drive her people into complete subjugation, which is the reason they are being herded like cattle into a narrow pen, where their movements can be controlled more effectively, thus curtailing the rights to personal freedom.

Yet while it is true that this country shall face even greater hardship, those who walk by faith should not become distressed, for their true Hope resides above the realm of man. Those of My own can be at rest no matter the level of adversity they face, for they recognize a greater work is being done, not only within themselves but also for My Kingdom.

Therefore, do not simply pray this season is taken away. Instead, partner with My higher purpose, which is that the fires of revival sweep through every nation and people. Then recognize the current turbulence happening in your nation and around the world as evidence of this coming resurgence, for these are the early birthing pains that shall open the way for the flames of My Spirit to spread, and bring forth the promised Great Awakening.

So press in with your prayers, asking that I move quickly and shorten this turbulent season so that those who are weak in their faith are able to endure until it ends.

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23

Lost Interest In The Battle

by Lori Anne Hale September 28, 2021

written by Lori Anne Hale

How many of My children have already given up? What is the number who are now waving the white flag of surrender, declaring defeat instead of standing as victors? Are there any of My sons and daughters still holding the frontline?

From what I can see there are but a few left fighting this good fight of faith, as most that were quite passionate about winning have lost interest in the battle altogether, believing that the enemy’s defenses cannot be overcome. And since evil seems to be prevailing, why continue putting any effort into a hopeless cause?

Unfortunately, because many already see themselves as beaten, an attitude of acceptance has started developing in their hearts, which will result in them simply yielding to the enemy’s demands without attempting any further pushback. And since these children have taken their cues from physical evidence in order to judge which side is advancing, a miscalculation has occurred, as wrong assumptions were made about My battle plans and how these would unfold in the visible realm.

But who among you can claim to know My mind? Who can discern My thoughts when you dwell in limited understanding (and that because I chose to release divine revelation into your spirit, though you still only know in part)?

Therefore cast off any ideas which predict all hope is lost, as this is just the enemy trying to persuade those who remain out on the battlefield to give up and walk away, for he knows it is the warfare of these faithful warriors that is preventing him from fully overtaking this nation. And lest any of you forget, there is a much broader plan in the works, one that encompasses every single human being that has, is now, or will ever walk the earth.

So don’t be rattled by the unsettling events of the day, nor be troubled when the wicked seem to be taking ground unchallenged, for none can ever really escape My wrath. Remain hopeful and stand convinced that what I have spoken (those promises I have given to My chosen) will surely come to pass.

“For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” – 1 Corinthians 13:9-12

Feet To The Flames

by Lori Anne Hale September 5, 2021

written by Lori Anne Hale

Prefer to listen instead of read? Click here...

Those who sow seeds of sorrow shall reap a harvest of joy, for it is only through the fires of proving (those intense flames where the dross is removed) that each vessel of My choosing can be purged, where any sinful sediments still lying underneath the surface are burnt off.

Then to those who are sensing that the heat has been turned up a notch or two upon your lives, know that these external challenges are present in order to stir up internal discomfort, providing just the right amount of pressure to bring forth what remains of yesterday: the ‘old man’ behavior that has no place within My priestly line.

Therefore, do not seek a place to retreat hoping to hide until the trouble has passed, for avoidance shall only prolong the refining process. Instead, stand facing the struggle, determined not only to overcome the obstacle, but also to break free from the enemy’s deception: those lies you have believed about Me and about your identity as a citizen of Heaven, as those who are no longer bound to this world and its limitations.

Then do not strain or strive, looking for a way around the current struggle that’s impeding your path. Understand that you have reached a moment in our journey where your faith is being tested so that there is room within for greater trust to be birthed. So rather than setting your sights on this temporal realm where your circumstances appear insurmountable, fix your gaze upon Me, holding fast to the understanding that everything I do in your life originates from My goodness. Then adjust your thoughts to align with this elevated idea about My virtuous nature, for it is from the depths of My love that I am compelled to move in the lives of My own.

For as a good Father, I only ever want what is best for My children. Realize that you are still securely nestled in My hand. Even when the flames of testing increase, I shall continue to uphold you. So do not resist, but surrender yourselves completely to the work I am doing now in your life.

“Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. He who goes out weeping, bearing a trail of seed, will surely return with shouts of joy, carrying sheaves of grain.” -Psalm 126:5-6
