Has the evidence of what has been called the soft invasion of America been hiding in plain sight? What was made public years ago about Dearborn, MI codifying Sharia Law didn’t occur overnight. Or is that story truly fictitious as has been reported?  Many have watched and some warned about happenings in Michigan for decades.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

In some cities throughout America, locating well-known brands and Kosher products on major grocers’ shelves has become increasingly difficult. In their place, meat and dairy products certified Halal by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFNC). A Halal label assures that their preparation meets the requirements of Sharia Law.

Some of these same products also carry emblems and labels proclaiming them to be American products, like “proudly Wisconsin” or “American grown” and as recently as a year ago did not boldly carry the Halal and IFNC labels. Why? Forbes reported in 2023 that “’Muslims represent a significant market segment that American brands are not always reaching,’ says Shayn Prapaisilp, chief operating officer of Global Foods Group, an international grocery store in Missouri that stocks thousands of halal products and imports from around the world.”

In some locales, walking into a major brand store like Costco, that was once a vibrant and diverse shopping destination, now triggers the experience of walking through the market in an Islamic nation. Our nation is changing.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib represents Detroit, Michigan, a city famous for its downturn. “Mayors, city council members, and legislators come and go, but neighborhoods don’t go anywhere,” Tlaib has said, and “Detroit can become a national model for urban revitalization, but to do so, it must break free from past development models.”  More than 15-years ago a prophetic man named John Paul Jackson said that GOD showed him a city in America will be overtaken by radical Islam.  At the time he said that he was only shown a picture and believed GOD to have been showing him some place in Michigan. Detroit has one of the largest communities of Middle Eastern people in the nation. It has been a depressed city in need of revitalization to be sure, but what is the vision or new model that is being birthed?

Consider also the proliferation of businesses across America’s landscape that are named after empires and ideologies whose histories are comprised of their attempts to annihilate any non-adherents after years of soft invasion.  Places like The Ottoman Restaurant, Sha’Ria’s Beauty or the Al’Hakbar Gas Stop are boldly hidden in plain sight.  One cannot not help but wonder how much we have been funding, voting for, and therefore equipping the great Enemy’s plans against GOD and His people.

Conspiracy theories abound. As intercessors, godly wisdom, insight, and discernment must characterize our prayers, not vain conspiracies.  Yet according to 2 Corinthians 2:11, we are not to be ignorant of the Enemy’s devices and should recognize that a conspiracy is simply the coming together of people who agree, by oath, covenant or otherwise, to commit a crime; to plot; to hatch treason or to agree; to concur to one end, according to Webster’s Dictionary.  The intent of Islam is and has been clear throughout world history.  This is not new.  The writing is on the wall.

For this generation, preceded by the Marine barracks attack in Lebanon (1983) and countless other terrorist events, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in America served as our modern-day declaration of invasion. The current rabid hatred toward America and Israel that have been expressed in almost every sphere of society on American soil is only our generation’s most recent pronouncement.  How then shall we live the Gospel first? (Read IFA Contributing Writer Joyce Swingle’s piece on the prayer she has been praying for decades: The Power of Persistent Prayer).

Each day I am reminded in prayer that we are called to the full Gospel, above politics. Yet, our politics have played a primary role for the current state of America.  Yes, our embattled state is primarily the condition of the watered-down gospel and false religion that have tainted how we live the gospel, but politics, policy and legislation have allowed ones like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib and Corey Jackson and their supporters to amass American wealth and resources that despot governments and proxy groups may try to use against us.

How then shall we live as evangelists of the gospel, who are also instructed through the parable of Luke 19:12–27 to occupy until Yeshua returns? The One who knows all things can and will give us strategies and plans.

I believe that our supernatural provision from our faith-filled preparation will afford us the best possible opportunity to live and to proclaim the full gospel to those who are perishing and who will most certainly be desperate for the Living Water and natural water…no matter their previous politics.

How should we pray about this “soft invasion’ of our nation? Share your thoughts, prayers, and scriptures in the comments or on The Community.
