A prophetic word released by Amanda Grace on Oct. 7, 2025, declared that America is entering a season of tremendous pressure and exposure, as God allows darkness in high places to be brought into the light.
“I am allowing a great pressure to build,” Grace prophesies. “It is being allowed to build in areas of your nation—Washington, D.C., the White House, Chicago, New York, Portland, Los Angeles, Denver—where rulers and dark councils are on the move to force a clash with the president.”

According to Grace, these spiritual pressures are not arbitrary, but divinely permitted shaking points meant to reveal corruption that has long been concealed within government, intelligence agencies and major cities.
The Greatest Scandal to Ever Come Forth Out of Chicago
Grace specifically names Chicago and the greater state of Illinois, saying both the mayor and the governor have “met with dark councils” to maintain control. “…the greatest scandal to ever come forth out of Chicago shall come forth in this time,” she says.
The prophetic word also warns that what the media and politicians will call “shutdowns” will in fact become openings for divine exposure.
“For as the media and the nation yell, ‘Shutdown! Shutdown!’ I, the Lord thy God, am opening things wide up,” the prophecy continues. “Shutdowns will not cover up what you have done.”
A Spiritual Rebellion: The ‘No Kings’ Movement
Grace’s word then connects these current events with the “No Kings” protest movement, describing it not merely as a political rebellion but a spiritual rejection of God’s kingship—mirroring Israel’s demand for an earthly king in 1 Samuel 8.
“This has to do with not only rejecting God as King, but with wanting souls,” she explains. “For the Lord said to Samuel, ‘They have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.’”
In Scripture, when Israel demanded a king, it came during a time of bribery, corruption and perverted justice—a pattern the prophet says is now repeating in modern America.
“When Samuel’s sons perverted justice and took bribes, the people rejected God’s rule and asked for Saul. That same spirit of Saul is rising again,” Grace says.
The Spirit of Saul and the Call for Assassinations
Drawing a direct spiritual parallel, the word warns that the same “spirit of Saul” behind Israel’s rebellion is also fueling calls for violence and assassination today.
“Saul rose up and called for the assassination of David—the one chosen by God,” Grace states. “We are now hearing assassination attempts being called for, because this same spirit is at work again.”
The word identifies two biblical “Sauls” as prophetic archetypes:
- King Saul, who tried multiple times to kill David.
- Saul of Tarsus, who persecuted and approved of the killing of Christians before his conversion.
Both are seen as representing a spirit that seeks to destroy God’s anointed and the righteous in the land—a spirit that “brings the outcry to assassinate, smear and destroy those chosen by God.”
A Clash of Kingdoms: God’s Warning to America
Grace’s prophetic message promises that what is unfolding in America is not merely political but a clash between two kingdoms—one of light and one of darkness.
“No Kings is more about a rejection of God in His ways than it is about Donald Trump,” Grace emphasizes. “It is about a people rejecting the rule of Almighty God and choosing an earthly Saul who will turn the kingdom sideways.”

If true to this word, America stands at a spiritual crossroads—between the humility of David and the pride of Saul, between submission to God’s kingship and rebellion that demands an earthly ruler. The coming days, Grace suggests, will reveal which spirit will rule the hearts of the nation.
