As the body of Christ, we are called to discern the times and understand our role in this hour. Over the coming months, there is a rising global pressure unfolding. Malevolent voices and entities behind global power structures seek to unleash destruction on the world. It may start as a small circumstance, described by the media as a tactical event, but the Luciferian agenda calls for devastation.
It is imperative that we pray against a nuclear threat and stand firm with the Spirit of the Lord and His will. This is not a time for crisis fatigue to break loose; it is a time for the Spirit of the Lord to move. I believe we can strike down this rising pressure through prayer. Remember, God always makes a way for His people in the midst of it all.
America and the nations are at a critical crossroads. Specifically in the United States, without a miraculous turn, we are facing challenging days regardless of who is in office or what the political headlines suggest. We stand on the precipice of significant upheaval over the next year or two. Yet, we have an anchored hope. Throughout history, America has faced impossible odds and overcome them.
From our nation’s foundation in 1776, by natural measurement, our nation should not have survived, yet God Almighty intervened. In fact, George Washington should never have won the war for independence. We are in another such moment today where all the odds are stacked against our future. However, with divine intervention and the people of God rising up in intercession, we will see a turning of the tide and witness victory in the land of the living. We are not called to live in fear, but to live in the authority that Christ has secured for us. We must glance at the Goliath but gaze at God Almighty.
The Age of Exposure
We are entering an age of exposure where hidden agendas and concealed narratives are coming to light. There has been a sustained, intense conversation recently regarding the mainstream medical narrative and the COVID vaccine. When experts have been inconsistent, opaque, or demonstrably wrong for four years, the call to trust the experts without inquiry loses its weight. Experts can have agendas and financial interests that cloud their clarity.
The Spirit of the Lord is moving in the midst of the noise, separating truth from deception. We hear people wrangle with the media, demanding studies that prove whether protection was actually achieved, or if harm was done under the guise of safety. We now see that the vaccine has led to substantial losses of life.
As believers, we must begin to walk in a spirit of discernment. We are seeing a shaking of institutions, and as these things come out, the noise is meant to distract us. This is not just about medical debates. As God reveals the financial interests behind these scenarios, we realize it is about transparency, accountability, and the restoration of truth to our nation. We must be wise in what is good and innocent of evil, knowing that God will soon crush Satan underneath our feet (see Romans 16:19-20). The Word of God is the final authority. The age of exposure means the veil is being pulled back, and we need to be ready to walk in the way that God is making for us. He wants you to win more than you do!
Days of Noah
Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” 22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
—Luke 17:20-30
The Pharisees asked to know when the kingdom of God would come. Jesus answered that the kingdom does not come with observation because the kingdom of God is within you. It is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (see Romans 14:17). Jesus warned His disciples that days would come when they would desire to see the Son of Man but would not. He cautioned them against chasing sensationalism or following those who set dates and locations for when He comes back. When the Son of Man returns, it will be undeniable, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him.
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him….
—Revelation 1:7
Jesus explicitly compared the day of His revelation to the days of Noah and Lot. In those days, people were eating, drinking, marrying, buying, and selling—functioning in a normal society—until judgment day. Luke 17:26 tells us, As it was in the days of Noah, so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
The Durupinar site, found in the mountains of Ararat, carries profound prophetic significance. Many believe this to be the site of Noah’s Ark, revealed by an earthquake in 1948. That was the same year Israel was declared a nation and the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the caves of Qumran. The timing is not accidental.
The structure is the length of the Ark as described in the Bible and sits near the ancient Silk Road, the highway of commerce where Marco Polo himself wrote about the Ark’s existence. People have tried to debunk it for decades. However, I believe this is Noah’s Ark and that we are living in the days of Noah. It is a sign of the times we are living in now.
Remember Lot’s Wife
Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife.”
—Luke 17:30-32
In Luke 17:32 we are told to “Remember Lot’s wife.” This is the only person in the Bible we are specifically told to remember in this way. As Lot and his family fled the judgment of Sodom, they were explicitly told by the angels not to look back. Lot’s wife, however, had an attachment to the city—a longing for her old life, her family, or her comforts that she valued above God. She wasn’t just curious; she had a heart that was still anchored in worldly things. She turned, looked back, and was transformed into a pillar of salt.
This is a word for today: Stop looking back. You’re not fit for the kingdom if you put your hand to the plow and look back (see Luke 9:62). Some are clinging to the past, replaying old cycles of trauma, and hoarding emotional baggage like a broken record. In Jesus’ name, that cycle must break. You need to purge old things—physically and emotionally—as an act of worship. Pour it out before the Lord. We must be willing to abandon comfort for the sake of the high call of God. Don’t worship your family or comfort more than you worship Jesus.
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
—Matthew 19:29
We’re not called to love family first. We’re called to love Jesus first. You can’t worship family, items, things, or comfort; you have to worship the living God, which means sometimes abandoning those things.
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
—Luke 17:33
If Lot’s wife had kept following Lot, she might have actually helped keep him from later problems. If so, she may have been a great blessing and saved her life in the process. In the days of Noah, the days of Lot, we must follow Jesus and not go back to the former things. We must go forward and continue to press into what God has for us.
Spirit and Flesh
In the days of Noah, there were giants and Nephilim on the earth. People often debate whether spirit and flesh can mix. While celestial and terrestrial beings were created differently and not created to mix, the birth of Jesus is the ultimate proof that spirit and flesh can indeed mix. The Holy Spirit hovered over Mary, and the Word became flesh. In Genesis 6, we see a dark distortion of this where the sons of God mixed with human women, leading to the Nephilim.
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
—Genesis 6:2-4
While we are not created for these types of perverted mixtures, it’s important to understand that we are in a spiritual battle that involves both realms. We are not just fighting flesh and blood, but principalities and powers. We are made for eternity.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
—1 John 3:2
We do not fully know the nature of our eternal bodies, but we know we will be like Him. We are not just meant for this world. We are meant for Him. In this time, we are meant to follow Jesus and not go back to the former things. We are rising, continuing to go forward, and stepping into a future that God has already prepared. The roar in the storm is the sound of a generation that refuses to go out with a whimper, but one that will stand in the full authority of King Jesus until the very end. Don’t shrink back! It is time to lean in with faith and favor and walk in the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. The Spirit of the Lord is going to make a way for you in the midst of it all.
For Jesus,
