The Prodigals God Uses to Change Nations

Last time I wrote about the Communist and KGB’s plan to destabilize and take down our nation. It’s important to summarize quickly because this impacts our youth and the Lord spoke to me on Thursday night about our young people.

To briefly summarize: We looked at the 45 Goals of Communism by topic and factored in the four states of the KGB’s plans and saw a perfect guidebook to destroy a nation from within. The KGB provides the outline; the 45 Goals provides the detailed infiltration points.

The KGB’s four-stage outline is demoralization, destabilization, crisis and finally, normalization.

Demoralization is the longest period, and we witnessed this over the course of the last couple decades.

  • Goal: Undermine the moral, ethical, and cultural foundations of the society.
  • Methods: Infiltrate education, media, and cultural institutions to instill disillusionment, moral relativism, and rejection of traditional values.
  • Impact: Citizens begin to question their own history, identity, and societal norms, making them more receptive to alternative ideologies.

The next step is “crisis” and if you’ve been with us for any length of time, you know we’ve been fighting, through prayer, against the crisis they’ve presented while crying out to God to bring His own invasion, one of His Spirit! Revival!

The final stage is normalization; it is critical we do not allow them to bring us into the normalization of their ideology.

If we look at our youth today, and by youth, I mean those 35 and younger, we can see how effective the communist agenda has been. Our youth hate our nation; they’ve become activists for everything our country stood against for 250 years. They are rebelling against authority, including parents, and God has for all intents and purposes been stripped from their hearts and minds. Hook-up culture is an acceptable lifestyle while morality continues to slip right into the sewer. Abortion has become a viable method of birth control, gender flipping has become the “in” thing, and one’s sexuality is fluid.

I know it seems overwhelming, but do not fear… God has other plans for them!

The Return of our Prodigals 8.13.2026

Thursday night while I was praying for the youth, I went into the Spirit, and I saw the youth scattered about the nation. I saw this darkness over them, but they were encompassed in a transparent bubble. As I wept, suddenly lights began to shine from all around. One by one they lifted their heads and that darkness that was over them lifted. Each young person began to walk directly toward the light. They did not move in the same direction, but they were all being drawn by the Light. I wondered where they were going and instantly, the Spirit opened my eyes and I could see in every direction, the Light was drawing them home. The Prodigals were coming home!

These young people have been in the School of the Spirit and the schooling. while challenging, was complete. They came home not just submissive—we often think of prodigals as rebellious—but they were ready to lean into God, to not just lean into the love of the Lord but embrace the love and Lordship of the Father. There was sweetness, a tenderness, and a preciousness that came through their experiences. They did not speak of the struggles they faced, the fear, the pain, the doubt, the impact of constantly being on the run, but the experiences they’d had had changed them forever and I knew He would use it for His glory.

The Lord has given me an example, and I pray no one is offended by this example, but instead, can see what God is doing…

I’m raising my three grandsons right now because I too have prodigals. Two weeks ago, the middle boy’s cat got outside. He’s never been out before. He was a cuddly but skittish cat. He approached you on his terms and those terms usually revolved around my middle grandson. You could not catch him, and he never came when he was called. If we bent down to pick him up, he’d run off which made this whole situation even more challenging.

We do not know how or what time of day he got out but one morning I noticed he didn’t come up to the food bowl when went to feed him. I asked my grandson, who he always sleeps with, and he said he didn’t see him that night.  We combed the house, the garage, the backyard and he was nowhere to be found. This went on eight agonizing days. On day 9, I went to let the dog out and he peeked his head out from between the tomato plants. He’s a black cat with a lightning bolt that runs down the middle of his face. He has white paws, each with seven toes. So, when he peeked his head out, and I saw the lightning bolt, I knew it was him. We kept praying, “God protect him while he’s out and bring him home safely.” On day 11, I felt I was supposed to put out feral cat traps. I bought them and set them up. On day 12, he was sniffing for the food through the outside of the cage. On day 14 we woke up and he was in the trap. We brought him in expecting him to freak out, and go wild when we opened the cage, but he came right out and allowed us to pet him. We kept him in the bathroom, quiet, away from the dog and waited another day while checking on him to let him settle.  He’s lost quite a bit of weight, but he’s home, that’s all that mattered.

The most difficult thing about this whole experience was not knowing where he was, or if he was even alive. The worry over how he was surviving was breaking our hearts. My 12-year-old grandson would cry and tell me how powerless he felt in the whole situation. I felt the same.

On day 15 we let him out of the bathroom. He is a changed cat. He longs to be pet, to be loved, he literally comes when called and submits to love when he’s called on. All of us can just kneel and call him and he walks right up to us to be scooped up into the arms of love.

After the vision I had Thursday, of those young people coming back to the Light, the Lord allowed me to see something in Thurston’s journey home. The truth is, he will never be able to tell us where he went, the struggles he faced, where the scab on his nose came from or how he survived while he was away from us, but what is clear to us all, is that he is ready to submit willingly to the love of the master’s hand.

The Lord told me clearly, “the prodigals will come home the same way, some will be scratched, bruised, and may even seem broken. Most will remain silent about their journey back, but the school of the Spirit will have had its way in each of their lives and through the Awakening, I’ll use them to change the culture of this nation to reflect Me, and Me alone. Tell My people, do not lose hope, the roar of the lion of Judah is sounding, and the prodigals are about to come home!”

Before I close, let’s look at what the Lord was referring to when He said “The Roar of the Lion of Judah is Sounding”

Roar of the Lion of Judah Vision, April 5, 2021

We were in staff prayer years ago. We were experiencing a special flow in the Sprit that transitioned us into an intentional directive as we proceeded.

The Lord commandeered our time together as we prayed over our youth. We transitioned from physical healing to mental bondages and then into the spiritual apathy of the youth in this nation.

The call to awaken them came with such urgency, we blew the shofars over them like an alarm clock! I called the young people to wake up from their slumber!

The Spirit of the Lord poured out His prayer over them: “It’s time, it’s time for My children to arise and war!”

He instructed me to call forth the Scriptures stored deep within their hearts!

I immediately called Scriptures our youth heard as young people. Every single one, ones they memorized, the ones God tucked away in their hearts from Sunday School class, those parents read to or over them, each one was set strategically in place within them to preserve them for such a time as this.

The Lord opened my eyes to see those Scriptures bursting forth inside their spirits, I watched in awe as they exploded like starbursts in their hearts and then began to spread out from there! These starbursts released healing and restoration into their lives. This process impacted their hearts, their minds, and coursed through the layers of their soul. Healing and restoration came forth in waves!

Then, I had a vision of the Lion of Judah. He came up behind the youth, and He roared with a mighty roar! I felt His ROAR. This could only be described as a sonic boom in the spirit realm. Intercession burst out from our team and across the city, the state, and the nation.

The sonic waves of the ROAR of the Lion of Judah went forth! I saw the sound waves as they traveled across the earth with my natural eyes! It was the most marvelous thing to witness! His mission was successful! He impacted children, the youth, and young adults everywhere!

His ROAR is living in and of itself, and it went out on the hunt for His children, to bring them back into the fold! Much like the Killer Whale sends forth her unique call to her calf, one that only he will respond to, the Lion of Judah sent forth His call to His children and the impact of that call, was incredible!

Again, His ROAR went forth, I saw the air thrust outward under the force of His explosive ROAR, another wave to reach even further and impact in greater measure. The extraordinary call of the Lord for His children was not going to fail!

The young people could not help but respond to the ROAR of the Lion! They heard the call; they FELT His ROAR as it hit their bodies and broke strongholds from deep within! They turned and stepped forward, now alert and engaged. 

I watched as those in their teens, their twenties, thirties, and even up to the forties come out of a zombie-like state, suddenly alert and engaged they ran into the fight! Some were caught up in the Culturist Marxist, social justice platforms that are contrary to God’s Word (BLM, LGTBQI+, Critical Race Theory) and when the ROAR of the Lion coursed through their bodies, that Marxist veil of deception came crashing down and they fled from these platforms and into the army of God! It was so powerful to witness as they began to war with the same fervor on behalf of the Kingdom of Heaven!   

Next, He showed me the prodigals coming up the road! I was compelled to call them from the north to the south, from the east and to the west, “come home, come home, come HOME!” I shouted out! I looked back to their homes and cried out to their families, “prepare the feast they are on the road, I see them, they are coming home! Prepare the fattened calf for the prodigals are returning!” They began to run into the arms of not just their families, but even more importantly, was their run toward the destiny God created them to fulfill!

It was incredible! The whole time of prayer was phenomenal!

-End-

Why is it important? Because many of them have believed the lies the enemy spoke to them all these years, they’ve been indoctrinated into Socialist, Communist and Marxist ideologies and God is about to bring that system down! When He does, these prodigals are going to come home broken over the deceptions they’ve fallen into the rebellion they submitted to, and things they’ve done and seen along the way. When they do, they’ll need healing, restoration, and the love of their parents to scoop them up and remind them of the love of the Father.  They may not be able or willing to tell us all they’ve encountered but the Lord is saying, “these are the ones I’m going to use, these prodigals will be used to change the culture of nations to reflect the glory of God.”

Pray for them, pray Scripture over them and call them back into the fold. And, whatever you do, do not lose hope, because the Lord is saying, the prodigals are coming home!

Much love,
