Believe the Lord your God, so shall ye be established, believe his prophets so shall ye prosper.
2 Chronicles 20:20
Build
Build, Build, Build. Build yourself up in the Spirit, you will need it in the days to come. You will need it to get the work done and help others. Build your family. Build your ministry. Build your vision. Build your insight, build on the insight I have given you. I will show you how to do it. Build your nest for eaglets, expect eaglets to come. Build disciples. Build my kingdom. Build a tabernacle for my glory. Build a sanctuary where people can come and lay in my presence and find peace. Build, build, build. Build it and they will come. Build it and I will come.

Build Part II
As I was writing this prophecy, Noah came to mind and his building of the ark. Nehemiah also became prominent in my spirit. Noah was ordained to build a novel structure that would save his family, preserve humanity and God's creation. He was instructed on the specific material to use and the precise dimensions for the ark. Noah was building a novel structure for a novel event. Nehemiah was ordained to build what had been destroyed, to re- build the walls of Jerusalem. Both of them built in the midst of duress. If your mandate is to build an innovative structure for the Lord, then you can expect and anticipate massive opposition. Your focus will save you from the jeers, taunts and attacks from society. The Holy Spirit will send you a family of builders to help you. If your assignment is to build like Nehemiah, your opposition won't be as massive, but it will be intense and up close and personal. You will need the spiritual dexterity to fight and build simultaneously. The Holy Spirit will show you how to use the same tools to build and to fight the enemy. God will join teople to you who have the same dream in their heart. For some the first phase of building will involve being like Nehemiah. Once the wall is built, they will transition into the mantle of Noah. Focus in both cases are vital, but especially in the case of those building a novel structure like Noah, to hear the instructions and see the divine blueprint.

Gates
This is the year of the gates. Lift up your heads oh ye gates and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors and the king of glory shall come in. Psalm 24 :7 The Lord wants us to focus our "eyegate" on him and our "eargate" to be attentive to him, to hear what the Spirit has to say to the church. This year demonic gatekeepers will try to expand their domain and take territory occupied by the kingdom of God. Apostolic-Prophetic watchmen and gatekeepers must collaborate and operate in syncopation to defeat the gates of hell. The gates of hell will not prevail. Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18 Watchmen and gatekeepers must have strategic Intel, revelation, to preserve territory, push back the gates of hell and expand the kingdom of God.

A Plague
More than thirty years ago, in a visitation from Jesus he showed me a plague would hit the United States and millions of people would die. Doctors would not know what they are treating or how to treat it. I could see doctors in hospitals wearing white spacesuits as they made their rounds. New York City was the epicenter of the plague. I saw a physician dressed in his white lab coat standing outside the emergency entrance on the ramp outside Mount Sinai hospital gazing off into the distance. Many doctors wanted to leave the profession or leave the country.
2020
Surely, the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secrets to his servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7
Visitation from Jesus
* War would hit American soil. Everything north of D.C. would become uninhabitable. Only a few people escaped. D. C. had been hit, but not totally destroyed. I could see skyscrapers dangling, gorged out and barely standing in Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell was also dangling by a red thread and had been strategically hit, it only partially remained. The red thread represents the blood of Jesus preserving the liberties that remain. It was only the blood of Jesus, our covenant with God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who would preserve the remaining liberties. I met a Black man, Rasheed, whom I actually knew and spoke with him. Rasheed means "righteous" or "righteousness". There will be a war over who is "righteous", a war against self-righteousness. Muslims will believe only they are righteous, are right, but others will believe this also.
* Foreign troops would occupy American soil. Along the Eastern seaboard, especially near North and South Carolina I could see Chinese or Korean troops and Iranian troops. In another part of the country there was a UN peacekeeping force. The foreign troops seemed to be in the area of Fort Bragg. [Fort Bragg is the largest military base in the United States.]
* Famine would hit the United States. This seemed to be in conjunction with the war. The United States government was distributing brown bag lunches. Fights, mayhem and confusion erupted as people wondered if they would be served while waiting in government soup lines. A white man had been shot and a young black man still holding his brown bag raised him from the dead. The church rose up in demonstration and in power. In another part of this vision, I was in a grocery store with my youngest brother and another family member. The store was owned by a Muslim man who greeted us at the counter. We walked around the store, but all the shelves were empty. He said I have bread in the back. We said no thank you and left the store. Before we left, he said we have been preparing for this for a long time. He was saying, they had been preparing for war on American soil, the downfall of America and for famine a long time.
* Blackouts would hit the United States, like third world countries. There would be regular rolling blackouts and a massive blackout. In this vision, I could see a blackout in New York city. Iranian commandos dressed in black pants, black shirts with black masks were running through the Holland tunnel and underground in New York city to cut off the power grid. In 2003, I thought this prophecy was fulfilled when the blackout in New York and Ohio occurred. I was in New York, but the Holy Spirit said this was just a precursor or a warning.
* Corruption on all levels of government would be appalling, exposed and run rampant. Adultery, affairs, bribery and extortion would be exposed often on live television. Allegations and betrayal would be constant.
* Secession of Texas from the United States would take place. Texas had their troops stationed at every border. Anyone leaving the state or entering Texas had to prove they were a citizen of the state or have approval to enter. People from other states had to prove their identity, like citizens from a foreign country. Only citizens from states with similar policies were allowed to enter. The United States flag was flying in the wind, but it was torn, tattered and burned at the edges. The flag of Texas was next to it, I saw a sign that said "Republic of Texas".
* Squalid conditions caused by homelessness would run rampant in the United States. The stench and filth would be unbearable.
* Imprisonment for pastors in the United States is coming. Pastors would be arrested for preaching against homosexuality and the truth in general. Many would go to prison and their wives would divorce them due to the persecution. Some women would continue the ministry of their husbands. I could see wives visit their husbands during their incarceration. Some pastors will be imprisoned for a protracted period, it seems as though they died in prison. Others will be released having a shorter stay. I saw two renown pastors, an elderly white Pastor from Texas and a black Pastor from New York being imprisoned.
* An earthquake would occur between West Virginia and Kentucky near the hills and adjacent to the river. This earthquake would split part of the United States. The timing of the earthquake will be unexpected and the extent of the damage, which will be catastrophic.
* Civil War spawned by deep fissures and a multi-fractured society would be the basis of riots, between blacks and whites and liberals and conservatives. In some instances, Christians who don't want to be involved will be forced to defend themselves. Due to the scale of lawlessness, law enforcement will be overwhelmed and overworked as they deal with Mexican, Russian and Vietnamese Mafia, this is in addition to their regular duties. Corruption would become endemic as law enforcement accepts bribes and become complicit with prostitution and sex trafficking. Gangs and mafia would be most prominent from the Texas to Florida coast.
