U.S. Election 2024: Coalition, Conflict, Crisis, Change

by Nathan Shaw

Concerning the upcoming U.S. election God gave me four words: Coalition, conflict, crisis, and change. Each one of these words is a major intercessory banner. Our prayers can make a huge difference in the events that are about to unfold—events that will undoubtedly have an impact world-wide. This election season could be significantly longer than expected.

A Coalition of the Righteous

Further to the word “coalition” God gave me the phrase “a coalition of the righteous.” This coalition is already forming. Rather than the Christian concept of righteousness, I understood the word “righteous” to refer to the right people. A coalition is formed when people who have differences come together for a common cause. The coming together makes the team stronger than its individual parts. It is God’s intention for this team to be not only diverse, but also flexible and strong. Great clarity is needed about the past foundations, present realities and future destiny of the nation. It is this past, present and future orientation that will enable wise decisions to be made, even in the midst of crisis. Concerning who will and who won’t be part of this coalition expect both the unexpected and the surprising. It is strategically important for the right people to be part of this team. Of course “a coalition of the righteous” also refers to the coalition of God’s intercessors from the nations of the earth. In a sense this is an international election that will have international consequences.

Conflict and Crisis

Great conflict surrounded the 2020 election. This conflict has hung in the air over the last four years. My sense is that the 2024 election will bring even greater conflict and that this conflict will eventually lead to crisis. Conflict and crisis call for real leadership. This is why “a coalition of the righteous” is so important. Some leaders are appointed for times of prosperity and other leaders are appointed for times of crisis. Leaders that are appointed for times of crisis often lay the foundations for the prosperity of future generations. They are forced to make difficult but necessary decisions. Conflict is not bad if it leads to positive outcomes. Pray that conflict leads to clarity and that crisis leads to positive change. The authority of righteousness is always greater than the dark forces that want to destabilize and destroy.

The Exponential Age

Change is not always easy, but it is necessary. We are entering an exponential age when the combination of artificial intelligence, robotics and new financial systems will revolutionize the way we live. Present systems can no longer cope. The exponential age will bring dramatic new possibilities, along with conundrums and difficulties. Exponential means the impact of small things can be multiplied dramatically. If right foundations are laid the exponential age can bring great blessings to humanity. If, on the other hand, wrong foundations are laid, the consequences will be dire. It is easy to feel powerless and insignificant in the midst of such massive changes, however, we must not be intimidated. As God’s people we are called to be His change agents despite intense conflict and overwhelming crisis. It is righteousness that has the power to exalt a nation (Proverbs 14:34).

How Should We Respond?

Elections often force pressing issues. How should we respond to the 2024 election? Here are five suggestions:

1. Pray for the resolution of the conflicts that go back to the 2020 election. Many of these issues are simmering under the surface, unresolved.
2. Call forth a coalition of the righteous who can stand strong in the midst of conflict and crisis.
3. Pray that ongoing conflict and crisis will lead to positive change.
4. Choose not to be intimidated by conflict and crisis. Instead, ask God how He wants you to become His change agent in the midst of the situation.
5. Pray that good foundations will be laid that will impact future generations.

The end of the old and the beginning of the new is always marked by a turning of the generations toward one another. As Malachi prophesied in the last verses of the Old Testament: “Look! I am going to send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh! And he will bring back the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with a ban [intense curse]” (Malachi 4:5-6 LEB). In the words of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “We have to love our children more than we hate each other.” We are on the brink of an exponential age initiated, fueled and marked by love. That’s the exponential age that God has in mind!

Endorsement from Linda Valen (Master Potter Ministries):

There are many prophetic voices in America who are trumpeting the heart of God in this hour, but Nathan Shaw is from New Zealand! God has given him His heart for America to sound the trumpet too!

This is not a book you can read quickly! Time is needed to ponder the prophecies and let them marinate in your spirit. Their significance, along with the scriptures, teachings, revelation and insight accompanying the prophecies makes this a very important book to read.

Some of the prophecies were given four years ago and attest to the accuracy of the words since they are evident presently!! There are also many “now” words given in 2020 for America as well as other nations.

I highly recommend Nathan’s book.
