Shekinah Today Ministries : McCain & Palin – Prophecy and Instruction to the Church

Updated: Statement from Shekinah Today
[Regarding the "McCain & Palin Prophecy" and More]

10.14.10 Update

Two years ago, October 14th, 2008, we released a word regarding elections, McCain, Palin, and more. We were bold and confident we had heard from God, and it spread very quickly to many people. In retrospect, we believe we should have used more wisdom in how we presented it. We also believe God has used it in many ways, to bring greater humility and more wisdom in our lives, and give us a better perspective for future ministry and for the sake of His Church.

We understand God's Word tells us that we see and prophecy in part (1 Cor. 13: 9), and we have learned that we must also be careful how we interpret a prophetic word such as this, and the timing of it's fulfillment. This word included:
1. Elections being moved and turned the right way because of the cries of God’s people.
2. This is a critical time.
3. McCain, and Palin would fight and do what’s right.
4. McCain, and Palin would be strategically moved in (this seems to imply in a certain way).
5. They would be used to help turn this nation around.
6. God wants to bring a Great Awakening.
7. His people must Pray Night & Day then we will see things change.

As with many prophecies in God's word, many did not become evident until years later, some are yet to be. We believe this prophecy will fulfilled over a span of time.

We want to encourage everyone to continue praying as never before for our nation and a Great Awakening.

12.08.08 Update • Listen to related Interview here

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for all the encouraging, insightful, and supportive emails we've received,
as well as your prayers for us and for our nation.

For a time we have been publicly silent and in a special season of prayer, seeking God for understanding, and drawing ever closer to our faithful God who knows and sees all things – the beginning from the end. He truly holds our world in His hands.

Responses Since Election Night (Nov. 04, 2008)
First, we'd like to share some responses we received
1. One suggested "we see through a glass darkly" and it may have been our "wishful thinking" rather than God. At the same time they appreciated the integrity that prompted us to send the first post-election Ministry Statement, and they would be praying for us.

2. Some have challenged us to keep believing what God said rather than what we were seeing or hearing.

3. Two emails mentioned "false prophets were usually stoned" in Old Testament days, suggested perhaps this should be done to us.

4. Interestingly, we've received a number of emails from and about intercessors, saying God instructed them to keep praying, that "this is not over" and we need to allow Him time to work. Also, some saying the election night results were temporary, and although they don't understand it, they know things are going to change.

5. Others have mentioned possible "voter fraud" and the questions concerning if Obama is truly a "natural born citizen" and qualified to rule according to the U.S. Constitution, which could also change things.

6. Some believed as Christians, we did not pray enough as instructed in the prophecy, and that God allowed the nation to have the king they wanted. Much like Israel demanding a king, outside of God's perfect will.

7. Godly counsel suggested "the interpretation belongs to God alone" and not to connect the dots with our own assumptions. Our "assumption" was everything would happen on "election night" Nov. 4, 2008.

Our Response
All of these responses have merit and some bore witness with us, as well as confirmed some things we believe God had shown us, but did not give us liberty to share. God's instructions to us were, and continue to be – pray, completely trust Him, and place the outcome of all this in His hands. We are not to lean on our own understanding, but to simply trust (Prov. 3:5). For we know in part, and we prophecy in part (1 Cor. 13:9). God alone sees the whole grand picture and plan.

After much prayer and seeking God – one thing we do know is that God's ways are far above ours and if this prophecy is truly from Him, it will be fulfilled in HIS way, in HIS time, for HIS purposes.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts...and My word shall accomplish what I please, and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
(Isaiah 55:9-11).

Time will reveal much...

A Greater Humility
We believe God has used this experience to work in us a greater humility, and a deeper faith. We truly believe this word came from the Holy Spirit, yet with humility we must also acknowledge the fact that we are subject to human error, and not infallible. It would be prideful and even arrogant for us to suggest or believe that we could never miss God. So, now we are challenged to draw closer to Him than ever before.

Please Know:
1. We do not wish any harm or ill towards Obama, and we pray for our nation and leaders.
2. Our desire and prayer is for God's will alone to be done, and for truth and justice to prevail.

Please Keep Praying for our Churches, Leaders, & Nation:
Above all, we encourage you to pray – Thy Kingdom come, Oh God. Your will and plans alone be done...on earth as it is in heaven! May God’s plans and purposes alone prevail in our churches, leadership, and nation!

Humbly and for His Glory,
Darrel & Cindy deVille

McCain & Palin – Prophecy and Instruction to the Church
October 14, 2008

Preface: During prayer for our nation, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Me to speak.
So I humbly share His word with you (1 Kings 22:14).

I keep hearing God say – regarding the elections
"I will move them in the right way when it comes election day.
The polls and the trends may look one way,
But when it comes to election day,
I'll move them the right way.
I'll move them the right way.

For I will have My way in this nation
For I hear the cries of My people, My creation
My people, I hear their cries
Those who are truly mine.

Yes this is a critical time, this is a crucial time
but I will move things My way, I will have My say
Continue to pray, continue to pray

For I am bringing all things into line, into line for the end of time.

(interlude - praying...)

I struggled with the release of this next part because it was so specific,
but this is exactly what the Lord was saying.

I Hear God saying:
McCain, McCain, McCain
McCain and Palin, McCain and Palin,
McCain...

I will use them
They will be an answer to the prayers of My people
I will use them, I will move them in
I will use them to remove sin (impacting moral issues – legislation)
I will use them
I am strategically moving them in
It is a part of the turning, it is a part of My plan

For this nation to turn back to Me again
So do not fear for what is coming near
Do not fear
For I will have My way, I will have My say
I've heard My people pray
I've heard them crying out to Me

Whatever must be done, Whatever must be done
Whatever I must do, I will do
And I will answer you, I will answer your prayers

(interlude - praying...)

I keep hearing Him say:
McCain and Palin, McCain and Palin
They are the ones, they are the ones
My Will, will be done, My Will, will be done
They are the ones, They are the ones
They will run, they will fight, and they will do what's right

They will do what's right
They will do what's right
They will do what's right

They will not turn back as others have done
They will not turn away and run
But they will stand and fight, and they will do what's right

For this is what I have prepared them for
And I will open up the door
For them to step in and for them to begin

For this nation will turn back to Me again
It will turn back to Me
And there will be a Great Awakening

Keep praying, keep praying, keep praying, don't stop praying
Tell My people to pray as never before
Tell them to pray night and day
Night and day tell them to pray
And they will see things change

They will see things change in their churches
They will see things change in the leadership
They will see all that I have spoken done

For I am the only one who can change it
I am the only one who has the power to turn this nation back
So tell them to come to Me, and cry out to Me, and pray, pray, pray
Then they WILL see, they will – a New Day

I have spoken and it shall be done.

For I am the one that sets one down, and raises another up
Promotion comes from Me you see
So no matter what the polls say, know this – I shall have My way
I shall have My way."

His instructions to the Church were:
"Keep praying, keep praying, keep praying, don't stop praying

Tell My people to pray as never before, Tell them to pray night and day
Night and day tell them to pray, and they will see things change..."

"So tell them to come to Me, and cry out to Me, and pray, pray, pray
Then they WILL see...a New Day."

Suggested Prayer Focus:
• God's perfect will to be done.
• Any Corruption to be exposed in the light of Truth.
• For Truth and Justice to prevail.
• A Great Awakening throughout this nation.
