061 - The Times of Truman and Trump

A Special Message from Lou Engle

Dear Intercessors,

Thank you for continuing with this community of prayer, dreams, and revelation. I believe what you are doing in prayer and agreement with us is moving God’s intelligence forward into the earth. I, Lou Engle, am writing today’s Briefing because Cheryl Amabile, who usually bears the load of research and writing The Briefing, has been dealing with many weeks of pain and a recent back surgery that has hindered her prodigious ability to write. We would appreciate your prayers for her speedy healing. The Amabiles are so significant to the prayer ministry that I lead. They didn’t ask me to do this, but I am taking the opportunity to make you aware. This month, would you please consider sending financial support to The Briefing? Not only that, but our team is soon heading to Boston for 40 days to fast and pray for President Trump, the elections, 100,000 LGBTQ coming to Christ, and the Third Great Awakening. I want to be able to support my friends financially during this time as these intensive assignments come at a cost and also require that they shut down other financial opportunities. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for letting me make this introduction. Here we go with The Briefing...   

The Times of Truman and Trump
By Lou Engle 

Chris Berglund, my prophet friend for 35 years, recently dreamed the following dream:

Chris saw Derek Prince and he was holding a magazine folded in half. It said, TIMES on one side and HARVEST on the other. Then he also saw the letters TRUM on both sides of the magazine. As Chris looked closer, he realized it was actually the name TRUMAN on the TIMES side and TRUMP on the side that said HARVEST. When he looked again it was as if it read HARVEST TIMES above TRUMP’s name. Then Chris heard Derek reading Isaiah 60 about the flocks of Kedar. Isaiah 60 is all about Israel becoming a nation and the flocks of Kedar are listed there among those who will bring their blessings for the restoration of Israel. When he woke up, Chris was pretty sure that Derek Prince had been holding the magazine while standing in the city of Boston. He woke up thinking, “This is about Lou and Derek’s prophecy concerning Boston.”

This dream is stunning to me! First of all, Derek Prince, my mentor from a distance, taught on fasting and prayer to shape the future of nations. He was also a dear friend to Israel and to Muslims. The dream is clear: we are in the unfolding of historic times and climactic shifts in Israel that began with Truman in 1948. Truman was the political figure in the United Nations that was most instrumental in the founding of Israel as a nation in 1948. Truman had picked up the book of Isaiah and said, “It became like a fire to me…” He knew he was to recognize the modern state of Israel. He said, “I surely wish God Almighty would give the Children of Israel an Isaiah...”

Also in 1948, there was a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit across the globe. It was all preceded by global fastings that began in 1945, the year the atomic bomb was dropped. Now, 72 years after Israel’s rebirth as a nation, we believe that we are in the harvest times of what Truman planted for Israel and that Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu are critical players in this unfolding historic drama. 

It is significant that Derek Prince also prophesied that Boston is the “Jericho of America” and when its walls of intellectualism and humanism fall, it will bring revival to the nation. Hence, the significance of this upcoming 40-day fast in Boston, March 1st - April 9th, at the very time we are calling for a Global Jesus Fast. Meanwhile, we have just returned from The Send Brazil where 41,000 signed up to participate in The Jesus Fast. You can sign up as well at: TheJesusFast.Global  

Much is hanging in the balance spiritually and politically in Israel. As you may know, a peace plan has been put together and signed by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. It is a far-reaching plan, with potential opportunities for both Palestinians and the State of Israel. It has yet to be seen if the Palestinian leadership will agree to it. What also is so significant is that both Trump and Netanyahu are being assaulted politically with the goal that they would be taken out of office before their purposes are complete. It is our conviction that this is a demonic plan where the spiritual powers seek to change times and seasons. 

Many prophesied that President Trump would be like King Cyrus, who liberated the Jews from Babylon to return and re-institute the temple and the nation of Israel. In 1953, after Truman’s presidency was up, he was in a meeting with Jewish dignitaries when his friend, Jacobson, introduced him to the assembled theologians by saying: "This is the man who helped create the State of Israel." Truman retorted, "What do you mean, 'helped to create'? I am Cyrus. I am Cyrus." Is that ignorant? No. He injected himself into the divine narrative. He knew who he was in his time. We believe that God has likewise girded President Trump to play a key role in Israel’s ongoing establishment.

Daniel, in Daniel 9, had to fast for 21 days to remove the demonic resistance of the Prince of Persia to get Cyrus through on his assignment. President Trump has recently come through the impeachment process, but the elections will be a spiritual battle in the highest dimensions. Also, Israel is holding elections on March 2. If either of these men are removed from their place, the agreement of heaven with earth, we believe, will be hindered. And so, for the next 21 days through March 2nd, we are calling for a Daniel Fast and focused prayer for a breakthrough for both Netanyahu and Trump in their coming elections. Then, in March and April, we will pray and fast for breakthrough for the Third Great Awakening in America and a spiritual harvest for the Jewish people. We believe we are in a divine reenactment of Truman’s times in the days of Trump. 

Amazingly, just one day after we received Chris’ dream, one of our team drew our attention to a confirming commentary on Ben Shapiro’s show.  

On Ben’s show, “The Daily Wire,” on February 5th, Ben addressed the video images of President Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast that morning holding up a copy of the USA Today with the large headlines saying, “ACQUITTED”. Shapiro perceptively likened the footage of Trump with the 1948 photos of Harry S. Truman, as he held up the newspaper headlines the morning after the election that said "DEWEY BEATS TRUMAN,” Truman had actually defeated Dewey and won the election, but the two images seemed eerily related. 

When Daniel understood it was time, he set his face to fast and pray. It’s the Truman Times. It’s the Harvest Times. The MAGAzine is being unfolded. Let’s Make America Great Again and serve God’s prophetic purposes in modern day Israel.
