Dream: in 2020 the Lord gave me a dream. He showed me Governor DeSantis standing front and center. President Trump was standing just behind him. The Lord said simply, “watch DeSantis and you will see what I am doing with My nation.”

When we look at what God has been doing under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, we can see God’s plans to turn the rest of the nation around. 

I assembled a list for us to encourage us in these plans
