Amid frightening darkness and disasters taking place, we must ask: Are there dark, spiritual forces trying to overtake America?

Yesterday, two frightening shootings took place on opposite ends of the nation. One took place in Midtown Manhattan in the Blackstone building. Multiple people were killed by 27-year-old gunman Shane Tamura. The building where the tragedy occurred housed both Rudin Management and the NFL headquarters. As Fox News noted, Tamura is believed to have had resentment against the NFL.

With these kinds of heinous crimes, we must wonder if there’s something to it beyond what we see in the physical world. If perhaps something dark and conniving is happening in the spiritual realm.

Prophetic voice Amanda Grace pointed to an excerpt of a Word of the Lord from July 18, 2025, “They shall attempt an attack in New York City to attempt to sculpt a hero out of the mayor’s race, says the Lord.” This means that the sinister forces are indeed behind these violent crimes, and now is the moment for the church to rise up in intercession for our nation.

Right now, the Church must not remain silent or asleep. These violent outbursts are not just societal issues—they are spiritual alarm bells. The enemy is working to sow fear, chaos and deception across America, but we are not without hope or authority. Scripture reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Eph. 6:12), and in this hour, believers must rise in fervent prayer, discernment and boldness.
