Is America facing a spiritual showdown unlike anything we’ve seen before? From a chilling vision involving the White House to warnings about the end times, Mercy Culture pastor Landon Schott believes the battle for America’s spiritual future is far from over.
In a revealing interview on Kap Chatfield’s Directed Life podcast, Schott discussed supernatural encounters, the spiritual condition of the American church and why he believes God is positioning believers for something greater than political victories or church growth.
Here are eight of the most striking revelations from his conversation.
1. A Jezebel Spirit Circling the White House
One of Schott’s most startling revelations involved a vision he says he received while praying in Washington, D.C., around President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration.
“And I see Jezebel. She lives in DC and her neck her neck is a snake. And I see her slither around the White House twice,” Schott said.
He interpreted the two encounters as representing Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, both of whom lost presidential elections to Trump.
However, Schott emphasized that Jezebel represents a spiritual influence rather than women specifically.
He said he saw God’s hand preventing the spirit from entering the White House before it returned somewhere even more troubling.
“So she goes back to the place that tolerates her, the local church.”
For Schott, the warning extends beyond Washington’s political power struggles to the spiritual compromises he believes are taking place inside the church.
2. A Prayer House Across From the Supreme Court
Schott also described what he believed was an extraordinary divine provision: a prayer house directly across from the U.S. Supreme Court.
According to Schott, Mercy Culture acquired a property valued at approximately $5 million for $3 million after its Christian owners reportedly turned down another offer.
He said a businessman later began covering the property’s $27,000 monthly mortgage payments.
The story becomes even more remarkable through its connection to prophetic minister Dutch Sheets.
Schott recounted how Sheets had received a dream involving coins marked “mercy” in 2016. Years later, Sheets and other intercessors reportedly gathered at the prayer house to make prophetic declarations over the Supreme Court and America.
The property, Schott explained, has become a place where ministry leaders gather to pray for the nation’s future.
3. COVID Exposed a Spiritual Leadership Crisis
Schott didn’t hold back when discussing how American churches responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“COVID was a litmus test of the church, and the church failed and folded like a cheap suit,” he declared.
He criticized pastors who relied heavily on consultants, lawyers and government guidance while making decisions about their congregations.
Schott argued that protecting physical health should never overshadow the church’s responsibility to address eternal salvation.
His larger concern? Too many pastors have become followers of cultural trends rather than leaders who seek the Holy Spirit’s direction.
4. A Prophetic Vision About Communism and America’s Future
Despite his concerns about the nation’s spiritual condition, Schott shared another vision that left him with tremendous hope.
During a 2021 visit to Washington, he said he expected to encounter overwhelming spiritual darkness.
Instead, he experienced what he described as God’s presence and saw something extraordinary.

“I see the seeds of faith over America so deep that communism cannot sprout up,” Schott recalled.
He also described seeing the prayers of generations of intercessors forming a spiritual covering over the nation.
His conclusion was a powerful reminder for believers concerned about America’s direction.
“Don’t underestimate the mercy of God because it is not what we deserve, but it’s simply his undeserved kindness.”
5. America’s Churches May Be Built on the Wrong Foundation
Schott believes another dangerous problem has taken root in modern Christianity: churches built around personalities rather than biblical spiritual authority.
He argued that charismatic speakers, talented entrepreneurs and effective marketing strategies can produce impressive congregations without necessarily building spiritually healthy churches.
“You can Tony Robbins your own church,” he warned.
Schott emphasized the importance of the fivefold ministry described in Ephesians 4, particularly the roles of apostles and prophets.
His concern is that the church has sometimes traded spiritual authority and biblical order for popularity, personality and institutional success.
6. Prophets Must Be Held Accountable
Schott also delivered a pointed warning to those operating in prophetic ministry.
He revealed that Mercy Culture is developing what he calls a “company of the prophets,” designed to bring greater training, structure and accountability to prophetic ministry.
“You can loose words with no accountability to them,” he said.
Schott challenged the tendency to repeatedly release prophetic messages without taking responsibility for their stewardship or responding appropriately to what believers believe God has spoken.
He also warned against allowing fear to drive spiritual warfare.
“You can’t cast out fear with fear. You have to cast out fear with power, love, and a sound mind.”
For a church increasingly surrounded by prophetic warnings and spiritual speculation, his message raises an important question: Are believers responding to what God is saying, or simply chasing the next prophetic word?
7. A Prophetic Word About Multiplication
Schott’s vision for Mercy Culture extends far beyond its original congregation in Fort Worth.
Founded in 2019, the church has expanded to 10 campuses, including locations in Washington, D.C., Orange County, California, and San Antonio, Texas.
But Schott says a period of prayer and fasting brought an unexpected word from the Lord.
“I heard the Lord say not seven, seven times seven.”
Although he doesn’t claim to know precisely what that means, Schott believes obedience rather than ambitious expansion plans must determine the church’s future.
For him, the goal isn’t building a religious empire. It’s following God’s direction, wherever that may lead.
8. The Currency of the End Times Will Be Faith
Perhaps Schott’s most consequential warning came as he discussed the future of believers during the last days.
“I truly believe that the currency of the end days will be faith,” he declared.
Pointing to the biblical warnings about the mark of the beast and restrictions on buying, selling and trading, Schott questioned how Christians would survive under such circumstances.
His answer was what he described as an “economy of faith,” where believers depend on God’s supernatural provision.
Schott emphasized that he believes God will provide for His people’s needs as they remain obedient to Him, regardless of political or economic uncertainty.
A Warning and a Promise for America
Throughout the interview, Schott returned to one central conviction: America’s future cannot be measured solely by elections, political leaders or the strength of religious institutions.
From spiritual warfare in Washington to the church’s need for accountability and biblical leadership, his revelations present both a warning and a challenge.
And despite the darkness Schott believes is confronting America, his message ultimately points toward hope: God’s mercy has not run out, and the church still has a responsibility to stand in faith.
