Dear Friends,
We are living in days that demand discernment. The shaking we are witnessing across the nations is not random, nor is it without meaning. Scripture gives us language for this moment, and Psalm 2 captures it with piercing clarity: “Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?”
In recent podcasts, I shared about a vision I received at the beginning of this year. I saw the finger of God deliberately poke the lead domino in a long, aligned row. One by one, the dominoes began to fall. With the vision came a sobering question: Which nation will be next?
What we are witnessing is not isolated to one nation. The shaking is touching Venezuela, Guyana, Colombia, Cuba, Iran, Israel, and beyond, signaling a wider realignment that demands prayerful discernment and intercession, rather than reactionary efforts.
This is not merely political upheaval. It is spiritual alignment and realignment happening in real time. Nations are raging, leaders are posturing, yet God remains sovereign. “He who sits in the heavens shall laugh.”
The Lord then flips the narrative and declares, “Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance.” This is Heaven’s invitation to prayer.
We are not called to partner with accusation or fear. This is the hour to be praying discerners, to respond with faith, humility, and boldness as we pray.
The nations may rage, but God has the final word. The question before us is simple and searching: How will we choose to live in this moment of history?
This is not a moment for fear, offense, or retreat. It is a summons for praying discerners, men and women, who understand the times and know how to live rightly within them. Desperation in this hour must pivot us to intercession, because prayer is not our last resort; it is our greatest recourse.
As the nations rage, we are invited into Psalm 2’s great prayer invitation: “Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations.”
This is the hour to pray boldly, stand wisely, and align ourselves with the unshakable Kingdom of God!

Scripture Based Prayer
Father God,
You alone are sovereign over the nations. Though rulers rage and peoples plot, You remain enthroned, unshaken and supreme.
Grant us discernment in this hour. Guard our hearts from fear and offense. Teach us how to live and how to pray.
We honor Your Son, Jesus, and we ask boldly for the nations. Establish Your unshakable Kingdom in us and through us.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
