Only ONE voice to be listened to amongst the many that fight for our attention.

Mark Virkler's picture

God speaks, “I am causing the secrets of heaven to erupt within your spirit, resulting in vision, foresight, and insight to saturate your inner being. Do not look to the left nor look to the right; keep your eyes on me. Do not be distracted by anyone or anything; keep your eyes on me. As you keep your eyes on me, I will go before you as a spiritual bulldozer and remove every obstacle in your way.”


Keep your eyes off these distractions.

  • Political and ideological in-fighting – Newscasters, news articles (most are selling half-truths, outright lies, fear, anger, and scorn)
  • Religious controversy - Theological fights, the antichrist, Armageddon, slander against Christian leaders (ALWAYS use Matthew 18:15-17)
  • Self–lies that “I can’t, I’m ill-equipped, too weak, too sinful, I don’t want to stretch and grow anymore.”

Keep your eyes riveted ONLY upon the God who RULES!

"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. 'Who is like Me? 'Do not tremble and do not be afraid; … Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none. " (Isa. 44:6-8)

Trump is prophesied to be a Cyrus, raised by God to accomplish God’s purposes.

God says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd! And he will perform all My desire (Isa 44:28).  I have given you a title of honor though you have not known Me. "I am the LORD, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known Me; That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other, The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these.

  • Cyrus was a Persian King who built the largest empire in history at the time (500 – 600 BC).
  • Cyrus, as leader of the Medo-Persians, chose to allow various cultural and religious groups to return to and maintain their own identities.
  • Learn more about Cyrus at the online Britannica. Type in: Cyrus-the-Great

God is able to make ALL THINGS to work together for good.

  • "For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur." (Acts 4:27-28)
  • Note: Jesus’ crucifixion was established by God through evil hearts & evil institutions (The GIFT of salvation was released to all at Calvary)

The joyful reality we are living in is that…

  • There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace … The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. (Isa. 9:7)
  • Behold, I am with you always (Matt. 28:20 MKJV)
  • We are commissioned and empowered to disciple all nations (Matt. 28:18-20)
  • Our declaration: Lord, I WILL be consumed, guided, and empowered by ONLY YOUR VOICE and YOUR VISION!

Our response is joyful shouts of celebration

  • We stay afloat spiritually by shouting with joy over God’s greatness and ongoing revelation to us.
  • Shout for joy, O heavens, for the LORD has done it! Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth; Break forth into a shout of joy, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it …I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone, Causing the omens of boasters to fail, making fools out of diviners, causing wise men to draw back and turning their knowledge into foolishness (Isa. 44:21-25)
  • Do you know that science has proven that joyful emotions turn our immune system on, while fearful emotions turn it off? Make sure your immune system is functioning ALL day and ALL night!
