Does God have a specific plan for your life that is far above anything you ever could have imagined? Could this also be true for our nation as well?
In a compelling conversation during Media Day 2025 presented by Charisma Media, New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Cahn was joined by Kelly “Kelly K” Kopp to unpack how God’s hand is intricately involved in both the mundane and the miraculous—and how America stands at a critical spiritual crossroads.

“Your whole story is you are trusting that God is working in your life,” Kopp says. “That where you are is where you’re supposed to be. And who you talk to is exactly who you were supposed to talk to that day.”
Their conversation emphasizes surrendering personal plans and recognizing that divine interruptions are often divine appointments. “If I’m in this situation,” Kopp says, “if it’s good, hey, thank You, Father. This is a great day. If it’s bad, Father, thank You for shaping me, for molding me, for smoothing rough edges.”
One of Kopp’s personal stories illustrates this perfectly. While acting as a traveling pastor, he couldn’t afford his next ministry trip. As he prayed on a flight, a man sat between him and his ministry partner. Initially sharing wild party stories, the man eventually confessed, “I accidentally turned on a Christian station and I really felt like God was in the vehicle speaking to me.” Kopp and his friend led the man to Christ right there on the plane. Moments later, the same man stood up, grabbed his checkbook and said, “I just want to pay for your next flight.”
The same way that God provided for Kopp, He has also been providing America the opportunity to shift from our wicked ways to see His hand and His provision present in our nation. Drawing parallels between ancient Israel and modern America, Cahn recounts how both nations were founded in covenant with God—and both have turned away.
“In the last days of ancient Israel… God was calling it back, trying to warn them,” he explains. “Nine harbingers or prophetic signs [appeared], warning them but calling them back.”
Cahn points out that the same spot where much of America was birthed, New York City, is now also the place where God’s judgment has been poured on the country.
“That’s where America was committed to God in prayer,” Cahn shares. “And now that same ground is where judgment struck…return to the covenant or face the consequences.”
“We are in this window period of time where the Lord gives a warning and He’s calling us back,” Cahn warns. “We have a choice—to turn back to God or turn away to judgment.”
