 In November of 2016 I completed the image that you see above. It is based on a vision that God gave me. This image is a photograph of the original 3" x 4" board. God said to me "America shall be saved. America shall be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ." He told me to decree over America "I will give to you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will remove from you a heart of stone and give to you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26 EXPLANATION OF THE IMAGE The heart of America is not dead. It is partly hardened and frozen. There are two halves of the heart which depict that there is a war for our hearts. Satan wants our hearts to be full of hatred toward God and one another. God wants our hearts to be filled with love for Him and for one another. The fire represents the Father’s love, which is going to sweep across America, and melt the heart of America, causing it to beat with love for Him and for one another. PRAYER Pour out Your Spirit Lord. Turn our faces back to You and heal our land. Forgive us of our rebellion. May we hear Your voice and harden not our hearts. Create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. Open our blind eyes and deaf ears. Cause our hearts to be open and soft, so we will turn back to You and You will heal our land. Prayer based on the following verses: Acts 2:17; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Hebrews 3:7; Psalm 51:10; Acts 28:27 DECREE I decree over America, God is going to give to you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. He will remove from you a heart of stone and give to you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26 NIV Following the creation of the U.S. map image, I came across a prophetic word given by Veronica West and published on Elijahlist on July 5, 2016. I feel this word confirmed to me that I was hearing God correctly. "On a recent afternoon while walking on the beach as I do most days, I was suddenly overwhelmed by a deep sense of urgency to pray again for the American people. As I began to cry out to the Father for this great nation, suddenly the Holy Spirit showed me a very powerful and poignant picture. I saw the nation of America in the shape of a large heart. I looked again and I saw that the stony heart was deeply cracked and badly broken in many places, and the heart of stone was brittle and looked very fragile. Now as I looked again at the brokenness of the heart, suddenly I heard the sound of deep laughter that came out of the heavens and I saw the Father’s tears rolling down His beautiful face. I watched as His tears fell upon the hard stony heart. Then I saw the heart of stone begin to move, shift and change in appearance, and with every tear of joy that fell from the Father’s face the heart of stone began to be healed and fully restored. I watched closely as the heart became fully immersed and saturated with the Father’s tears. Each tear of joy was life-giving. Each tear was a death blow to the destructive plans of the enemy. I then saw every deep crack and badly broken place within the heart suddenly and completely renewed, revived, restored and made whole. The Father laughed! My own heart leapt for joy as I heard the Father’s laughter and I saw His tears of joy falling upon the great nation of America. I was filled with great confidence and great assurance that Christ has ultimately triumphed over evil in this great nation and any defiance of Him and His will, plan, purpose and Kingdom destiny for this nation is futile! I saw the Father sitting high in the heavens. He was calm, unthreatened and unmoved by what the enemy is doing and how the enemy is moving! Who can oppose the awesome power of our God? The Almighty One does not even rise from His throne, but He sits and laughs in derision at those that would seek to stand against the power of His glory and grace in the nation of America in this hour. I decree: In this season the broken heart of America will be healed, revived, restored and renewed to the glory of God!" Scripture verses: * Ezekiel 36:26 “I will give to you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you a heart of stone and give to you a heart of flesh.” * Job 5:22 “At destruction and want you shall laugh.” * Psalm 2:4 “The One enthroned in heaven laughs in derision at His enemies.” Veronika West @ www.hiskingdomprophecy.com Israel Shall Be Saved In January of 2022, while in prayer, I felt God put it on my heart to create a new image based on the U.S. map vision, but of the nation of Israel. In addition, God burdened my heart to pray for Israel and He did this through various means. For instance, God spoke to me through a dream in which I was pregnant with 2 babies; one that was much bigger than the other. Also, one day during my morning prayer I felt God speak to me after reading the verse from Psalm 2:8, "Ask it of Me, and I will certainly give the nations as Your inheritance." Suddenly, a prayer came from my lips to God, "Give me America and Israel." These are just a few examples of ways that God has burdened my heart to intercede for Israel. DECREE I decree over Israel, God is going to give to you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. He will remove from you a heart of stone and give to you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26 NIV PRAYER Father, You are the God of Israel and they are Your people. You named them though they did not know You. Lord, cleanse them from their iniquities and pardon all of their sins. Save them with an everlasting salvation. Raise them up in righteousness and direct all of their ways. Redeem Israel out of all of their troubles. Be a shelter for Your people and the strength of the children of Israel. Bring health and healing to them and to their land, revealing to them Your abundance of peace and truth. Let the eyes of their understanding be enlightened. Give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let Israel be to You a name of praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth. Proclaiming all the good You do for them and causing fear and trembling among the nations because of all the goodness and prosperity You provide for it. Restore everything that has been removed from them. Send them grain and new wine and oil to satisfy them. Make their enemies to be at peace with them and no longer let them be a reproach among the nations. Seek out Your sheep and deliver them from the peoples and countries where they were scattered and bring them to their own land. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper who love you. Lord, cause their enemies to cease from the land. Make them and the places all around Jerusalem a blessing and cause showers of blessings to come down in their seasons. Let Your people dwell safely in their land, delivered from trouble from all the kingdoms of the earth. * Every line of prayer is from scripture. * Author unknown.

I attended Genesis Church in Rhode Island and joined my pastors in their mission to contend for revival in our state. We held many services and 24-hour prayer initiatives to beg God to pour out His Spirit over RI. I would always sign up to pray in the 3 A.M. hour and on one of those occasions I had a vision of what looked like uncapped wells. I saw many round openings in the ground, which I knew were wells that had been uncapped, and I saw water floating at the surface. A few months later, our pastors met the global evangelist Tommie Zito of American Awakening¹ and he agreed to come to RI in May of 2017 to hold a week-long evangelistic crusade, but agreed to extend his stay if revival broke out. I will never forget the first night of the crusade. As I walked into the church, my legs began to buckle. I could barely stand, so I bent over to lean on things just to get to a chair. The glory of God was incredibly thick even though Tommie hadn’t arrived at the church yet. As I prayed over the church in preparation for the service, I had a vision of a very large well digger. This vision was related to the vision of uncapped wells. The latter vision was God saying… “Get ready for the water that is going to shoot up from the old revival wells like geysers!” And I witnessed just that daily in the 3 weeks following. As Tommie preached that first night, I ended up on the floor beside many others in an encounter with God, which has impacted my ministry forever. In addition to the nightly Holy Ghost services, each morning at the church, Tommie’s team held evangelistic trainings and following, teams were sent out all over the state to share the Gospel message. Our 25-year-old spiritual daughter who is very shy was filled with the desire to evangelize to strangers on the street. She chose to fast from food for days and to do the outreaches with a burden to try and save as many people as she could. This was only 1 manifestation of the power of God that I witnessed. Every day there were dozens of salvations which were documented. By the end of the first week, the church was packed and an overflow room was added. By the end of the 3rd week, there were around 3,000 people who were reached with the Gospel message which were documented by the evangelistic teams. Many of those people came to the night services and some were filled with the Holy Spirit. During this outpouring, our church family learned from a visitor that the location of our church used to be the location of another church named My Father’s House. This visitor told our pastors that they had witnessed a revival in that church about 20 years prior, where miracles, signs and wonders took place, and that the anointed missionary and miracle healer Heidi Baker had visited there. In that moment, God revealed that we were in a location of an old revival well, hence the reason for my vision of uncapped wells. The ironic thing about it is that my church had only recently moved there from a different location in the same strip mall. I believe it was God’s leading that brought us to that very spot! Obviously, a few hundred feet made a big difference to God! On November 22, 2025 I pulled into the parking lot of Providence Life Center for the New England Alliance regional gathering for pastors and leaders. I thought, “Holy Ghost Church located on Federal Hill is only a half mile from here! That’s the location where the Catholic Charismatic Renewal broke out under the leadership of Fr. John Randall!” This revival fire was sparked in 1969 and its fire was spread by Fr. Randall not only in RI, but around the globe. During the leaders meeting, one of the pastors from RI referenced the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Later I learned from him that he was part of that revival and I responded that I too was part of it, as Fr. Randall was my pastor and spiritual father. The following day when I recorded in my journal the events of that gathering, I heard God say to me, “You uncapped wells,” meaning the group. What I feel that God was teaching me is that the prayers of the united body of Christ causes God to move His hand to uncap and unstop old revival wells. Four months later, on March 19th, 2026 I woke at 3:16 A.M. from a vivid dream. I saw water gushing and flowing freely but then it suddenly got stopped up. Something was keeping it from flowing. When I spent time that morning in prayer I was led to the book of Genesis. “Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt” (Genesis 26:15). What I felt God was saying through my dream is that the flow of the living waters of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit has been stopped up by the enemy and this has hindered people from receiving salvation, hence the reason why God woke me at 3:16, referencing John 3:16. By giving me this dream, God had placed a burden on my heart to intercede that the wells be unstopped or uncapped, so that the living waters can flow freely once again. I feel a burden to pray, even unto tears, for a mighty harvest of souls for Jesus, “that none should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). This past week I attended Mario Murillo’s 3rd gathering in 3 years in New York. While driving to Albany, NY for Mario’s “Miracle Service” on June 28th, I wondered if Mario’s focus on New York had something to do with the old revival wells that Charles Finney dug. Revival broke out through Finney in the 1820’s and 30’s in New York, Finney’s home state. Sure enough, mid-way through the evening, Mario told of how God told him to hold an evangelistic tent crusade in Albany, NY, stating that He was going to release His glory over the I90 corridor, an interstate whose towns were part of Finney’s circuit. Mario is contending to uncap the wells that Finney dug; to see those wells spring forth like geysers, so to refresh and revive the people and the dry, barren land of New York. Alleluia! Let it be so Lord! Let there be a mass harvest of souls at his upcoming 5,000-seat tent crusade this September! My prayer in this season is much like the prayer of Othniel, Caleb’s daughter. In the book of Joshua we read, “One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, ‘What do you desire?’ ‘Give me a blessing,’ she answered. ‘Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.’ So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.”² Caleb had received the land he possessed as an inheritance from the Lord Almighty. Out of love for his daughter, Caleb gave a portion of his land, including springs as an inheritance to her. Present father of the faith Lou Engle teaches on this spiritual principle in his book “Digging the Wells of Revival.”³ The book’s subtitle states, “Reclaiming Your Historic Inheritance Through Prophetic Intercession.” On the back cover we read, “Do you know that just beneath your feet are deep wells of revival? Are you aware that you are standing on bottomless geysers and founts of the anointing and mandates of our spiritual forefathers and mothers that are just waiting to be released afresh to you? God is calling us as instruments today to unstop the wells and reclaim the spiritual inheritance of our nation.” This is my calling! This is the burden that God has placed upon my heart as I contend for revival in my state of RI, my region of New England, and my nation of America. The prayer of my heart is to my heavenly Father: Daddy God, would you please give to me an inheritance from my spiritual forefathers—land that includes upper and lower springs—springs that will burst forth like geysers and flood the land, causing it to be fertile and washed clean from the defilement of unclean spirits that hinder people from receiving the Gospel message? You said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”⁴ You said, “So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”⁵ I am asking for an outpouring of Your Spirit that will produce a mass harvest of souls for Jesus. I thank You for answering my prayer. Notes 1. Tommie Zito, founder of American Awakening. www.tommiezito.com/american-awakening 2.

Luke 11:9 5. Luke 11:13 A prophetic word for New England  Photo Credit: Screenshot-Awakening Music "River" video “Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the main street of the city.” Revelation 22:1-2 October 13, 2025 Dream: I saw a wide river, whose color was a beautiful blue, but it was also transparent. I was floating in the river, and there were others also floating nearby. Then the river began to flow downward, and we ended up at a waterfall. In the next scene I was hovering over the top of the waterfall. It was a HUGE waterfall. It was very wide and it was very deep. End. My interpretation: There are people, including myself, who are in the river of God…living lives in the water of the Holy Spirit. The river was blue, which represents the supernatural; heavenly. But it was also transparent, which symbolizes that it was clean and pure. In Revelation 22, we read that the river was “clear as crystal” (Revelation 22:1). The waterfall is a move of God—of the Holy Spirit. God is going to bring us to a place where we will suddenly be in over our heads, deeply emerged in the water of the Holy Spirit, having lost all control…but He will be in control so there’s no need to fear. The river and the waterfall were wide, meaning there is room for the multitudes. The waterfall was deep, meaning people are going to go deep in their relationship with God. January 1, 2026 I woke up and felt God lead me to a song I had never heard before, entitled “Waterfall” by Charity Gayle. While listening, I fell into a travail. Some lyrics… “I heard of a river flowing from heaven and all who are thirsty would thirst no more…Here at the waterfall I stand in awe under the Rock where mercy reigns…Everything lives where the river flows. I come alive. I heard of a river out of the mountain where healing and pardon are pouring out. I’m over my head in a sea of forgiveness.” The last line made me think of a verse in Ezekiel 47, which is a chapter that uses the analogy of a river. “He measured off another thousand; it was now a river over my head” (Ezekiel 47:5 TPT). January 5, 2026 I felt led to share my dream on the New England Alliance prayer call. Following, Julie K. said that God spoke a verse to her right before she came on the call, “Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls. All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me” (Psalm 42:7). Gregg Healey responded with this statement, “We are going to go deeper than we’ve ever been before.” I love the commentary on this verse by BibleHub, "Psalm 42:7 paints a vivid picture of soul-depth crying out to God’s depth, the thunder of His sovereign activity, and the overwhelming waves He allows. The verse reassures us that every surge, every roar, and every deep place is under His control, drawing us closer to the One whose love is deeper still." June 9, 2026 I awoke and went to YouTube to play worship music. The very first song suggested by the app had the word RIVER in bold yellow caps so I decided to give the song a try. The song is entitled "River" by Awakening Music and was published 4 days earlier. The video shows live recorded images of a giant waterfall flowing swiftly. It’s lyrics: “God send a river, a mighty river. We wanna be overtaken by the Holy Spirit. We can feel it, already see it—the move of God. We’re joining in. We don’t wanna be ankle deep. We wanna jump right in.” The last line is referencing a verse from Ezekiel 47, “When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles” (Ezekiel 47:3). About 2 hours after playing the River song, I went on my daily prayer walk. The places where I walk change…different towns, roads, dirt paths. Today I just happened to walk over a bridge that had a small waterfall. I did not plan ahead to go to this location because of the song. When I came upon it, I felt led to stop and sit down. I just stared at it and prayed, “Lord, when are we going over the waterfall? Is it now? When are we going to be over our heads?” I didn’t receive an answer. As I prayed throughout the morning, I had different images in my mind of people standing in the rain; playing in the rain; happily getting soaked to the bone.  Photo Credit: Holly Otten-Waterfall on prayer walk At noon I joined a Zoom meeting with the Together Advance the Gospel ministry, and there came a time when Ed Pichette asked the group to be still and quiet so we can hear what the Lord is saying. During those few minutes, I felt God prompt me to share about my waterfall dream and so I did. Following, both Ed and Mike Valdes shared things that they have heard which are of a similar message. I feel that this word is for our state of Rhode Island and also for our region of New England. “Wherever the river flows, all living creatures will live and thrive. Schools of fish will be very plentiful, for wherever the river goes, it brings healing, and everything will come alive! Fishermen will crowd its banks and spread their nets from En-Gedi to En-Eglaim. They will catch as many species of fish as there are in the Great Sea…Along both banks of the river, every kind of fruit tree will flourish. And their leaves will never wither, and abundant fruit will always be on their branches. Each month they will bear a fresh crop of fruit because this life-giving water comes from inside the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat, and the leaves will bring healing.” Ezekiel 47:9-12 TPT Note: All Bible verses are from NASB, unless otherwise noted.  Photo Credit: Prophetic image of the Spirit and the Bride by Debbie Clark  Photo Credit: Dobson Policy & Culture Center Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving National Mall, Washington, DC May 17, 2026 There was a remnant, an estimation of over 100,000 Christ-followers¹ who left their families, their jobs, their daily responsibilities, to travel across the nation on their own dime, to humble themselves before God and to pray for an entire day on behalf of the American people. I can’t help but think of the moment when Abraham interceded on behalf of the sin-riddled city of Sodom. “Abraham approached and said, ‘Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?” … “So the Lord said, ‘If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the entire place on their account.’”² I truly believe that God is pouring out His mercy and grace upon our nation and I am extremely grateful. President Donald Trump initiated this gathering of prayer and praise to God, with the declaration that America is “One Nation Under God.” Government leaders, including members of his cabinet, faith leaders and others from around the nation shared testimonials of God’s goodness, prayed and/or read scripture. Intermittently, musicians from various genres performed songs that gave praise to God, while others exuded a spirit of patriotism. Christ-followers from various backgrounds and ethnicities agreed in prayer and in song to bless the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to bless this great nation of America. What a wonderful monumental moment for our nation! I did not attend the event in D.C., but I was there in the spirit.³ I listened or watched the livestream for the entire event. It was scheduled to end at 6:00 PM, which would’ve made it 7 and a half hours long, but instead it went until 6:45 PM, which made it a bit over 8 hours long. Right at the 8-hour mark, while watching from my living room, the Spirit of God touched me and I fell prostrate on the floor and travailed. I immediately sensed it had to do with what God has been highlighting to me ever since April, when I attended the Spirit of America gathering in Boston, led by Jon and Jolene Hamill of Lamplighter Ministries… The number 8. The prophetic meaning of the number 8 is new beginnings. At that gathering, Chuck Pierce prophesied, “Awaken America to your new day,” and in the Hamill’s Declaration of Covenant Renewal it declares, “America born again.” I heard a similar message from Dutch Sheets at the Rededication: “We declare a new beginning for America in the mighty name of Jesus.” There were other quotes shared by faith leaders that I feel are worth mentioning and which I have taken to heart. Jason Hershey, founder of David’s Tent, stated that this day was a Kairos Moment for America.⁴ Sean Feucht of Let Us Worship stated following the event, “Never in my life would I have imagined a sitting United States President reading the prayer we’ve all prayed so many times over America.”⁵ Sean was referring to the video recording of President Trump who read the following words, “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NASB). I too felt this very significant for our country, when it was first aired during the America Reads the Bible marathon⁶ weeks earlier. Faith leader Lou Engle stated, “When the President of the United States opened the Bible to read ‘If My people will humble themselves and pray,’ a door swung open in the heavens… The President opened the door for the greatest awakening America has ever seen!”⁷ I’d like to point out another statement Lou made that has been highlighted in my spirit, “This is the Jubilee of America.” The term Jubilee comes from God and one can learn about it in the book Leviticus, chapter 25. In verse 10 it reads, “So you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release throughout the land to all its inhabitants.” The latter part of the verse is engraved on The Liberty Bell and God has been bringing the Bell and its Biblical verse to my mind for many weeks. The Jubilee year was a reset time. Fields were left fallow to allow the soil to regenerate, debts were cancelled, slaves were released, and land lost due to debt was restored to its original owners. The definition of reset is “to set again or anew, such as to put back into an original place or position.”⁸ I believe that America is in such a moment… a season of Jubilee… a season of RESET. Alleluia! Thank you Lord! Thank you for responding to the humble prayers of Your remnant bride! There were 3 pillars which were the focus for the days’ speakers and performers. I feel that it is worth mentioning, as each one points to God in a spirit of gratitude— to all that He has done and is doing in our nation. Finally, the day ended with a prayer for the rededication our nation to God, led by Speaker Mike Johnson. THREE PILLARS Pillar I — The Miracles that Made Us: A reflection on God’s providence throughout 250 years, honoring the faith that inspired America’s founders and has carried us forward in every generation since. Pillar II — The Miracles Still in Our Midst: Personal testimonies of God’s healing in our lives and in our land. Pillar III — A New Birth of Faith and Freedom: A collective expression of gratitude for 250 years of freedom — and a unified moment of rededication asking for God’s blessing, guidance, and grace for the next 250.

Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.” Luke 11:33 Yesterday, following my second prayer gathering on the National Day of Prayer, I sat on a wall that surrounds the Capitol to eat my lunch. A transient man came walking by and stopped to talk to me. He immediately reached out his hand to me while introducing himself, so I shook his hand. Sam was loud, rambunctious and either under the influence or has a mental illness, or both. It was a bit stressful for me, not knowing if he was going to try to steal my purse or be violent with me. In the 15 to 20 minutes that he spoke, his words were incoherent, except for the moment when he said to me, “You are so bright I can’t even look at your face.” Immediately, I thought of the Israelites who said a similar thing to Moses after Moses had spent time with God on Mount Sinai. “So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to approach him” (Exodus 34:30). Moses decided to wear a veil over his face whenever he spoke with them, but would remove it when he spoke with God. The apostle Paul mentioned this account with in the book of 2nd Corinthians and adds, “But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18). A bit later, while still speaking with Sam, he began calling me “the sun.” I didn’t understand the meaning behind this nickname, until he said “the sun is blinding.” I came to understand that Sam’s demons were being blinded by the light of Christ that I carry within me—a light that was only a reflection from spending hours in prayer with Him that morning. The light that I carried overcame the darkness that Sam carried. In the book of John we read, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). May we Christ-followers be bright as the Son!! May we shine the light of Christ for all the world to see and dispel the darkness wherever we go. Join me in praying for Sam‘s salvation, healing and wholeness in Christ Jesus. Jesus shed His blood for him! “Those who are wise will shine radiantly as the sky at midday. And those who turn many to the way of righteousness will shine brightly as stars for all eternity. Daniel 12:3 TPT The lyrics to Jaye Thomas' song "You Shine" carry the message of my article. Hope you enjoy it! |
