40 Days to Save America: Anchored in God's Peace Focus
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV):
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Dear Friends,
As we reach Day 34 of our "40 Days to Save America" campaign of prayer, fasting and repentance, the burdens of the world may tempt us to worry, but God offers us a greater gift—His peace. Through prayer and gratitude, we are invited to rest in His presence and trust that He is in control. Today’s focus is about releasing our fears and anxieties to God and allowing His peace to fill our hearts, regardless of the circumstances around us.

Special Feature #1: An Open Letter to President Trump and America’s ‘Nineveh Moment’
During this pivotal moment in American history, I felt compelled to write an open letter to President Trump, asking him to call America to prayer, fasting and repentance before the November 5th Presidential Election. This was inspired by my 2013 interview with Billy Graham.
I also made a video - “An Open Letter to President Trump from Troy Anderson | Insights from The Trump Code” - that has been sent to Dr. Ben Carson and others who are close to President Trump who may recommend he do this, just as he did on September 26, 2020 when he issued a proclamation for a “Day of Prayer and Return” during The Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., an event seen by tens of millions of people. Please keep this in prayer.
My experience as a journalist and author for three decades, combined with an unwavering belief in America’s Judeo-Christian foundations, have inspired me to reach out with a message that is urgently needed. Over the years, insights from faith leaders and personal encounters—like my interview with the late Billy Graham—have underscored the importance of faith, repentance, and unity. Today, I see a pivotal moment for America, one that echoes the biblical story of Nineveh, where positive change became possible only through a collective return to God. With a heart full of hope and a vision for revival, I share this message in the spirit of faith and a sincere desire to see America find healing and strength once more.
Dear President Trump,
Today, as the nation approaches a critical Election Day, I feel compelled to share an urgent message. I’m Troy Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist and bestselling author of The Trump Code, Trumpocalypse, and The Babylon Code. On this October 28th, just one week from Election Day, I believe this message is divinely appointed. Mr. President, you have a calling not just to lead politically but to guide this nation into spiritual revival. America stands at a crossroads, and the future of our nation will depend on our response to this pivotal moment.
I have prepared a special video message for you, Mr. President. This video captures not only my words but also my heart, conveying the urgency and hope I feel for America. It’s more than a production—it’s a call to unity, faith, and action.
Let me share what has led me to this place.
In 2013, I had the incredible honor of interviewing the legendary evangelist Billy Graham. During that interview, he shared something that has stayed with me. He spoke of Jonah’s mission to warn the city of Nineveh of impending judgment, and he reminded me that the king and the people repented, sparing the city. Billy Graham said, “I believe God could do the same for America.” His words resonated deeply, and I felt a profound responsibility to carry this message forward.
For years, I have sought to amplify this message so that it reaches the hearts of our nation. I believe now is a pivotal moment for America. Just as God showed mercy to Nineveh, I believe He can extend that same mercy to us if we repent and turn back to Him. The scripture in 2 Chronicles 7:14 says,
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and heal their land.
This scripture holds the key for America.
Mr. President, just as the king of Nineveh led his people to repentance after Jonah’s warning, you are positioned to lead America in turning back to God, seeking His mercy and forgiveness. Through a miracle, I was invited by Steve Strang, the founder of Charisma Media and publisher of Charisma House/FrontLine, one of the most trusted voices in Christian media, to write The Trump Code. For over 40 years, Charisma Media has been a prophetic voice in America, and through The Trump Code, we explore how your lineage and destiny are intertwined with America’s. This book has become a bestseller, asking the question, Is this America’s Nineveh moment?
With support from Strang, my co-authors Paul McGuire and Pastor Paul Begley, and prominent faith leaders like The Return Co-Founder Reverend Kevin Jessip, we’ve launched the “40 Days to Save America” campaign—a national and global movement of prayer, fasting, and repentance from September 26th to November 5th. Ministries nationwide have joined in prayer, and each day this movement grows. Together, we’re praying for you, your family, your team, and for JD Vance, and we welcome Elon Musk as he joins the journey as a “General in God’s Army.” God is moving, Mr. President, and I believe He will change the course of our country and history.
Through platforms like CBN, TBN, Daystar TV, Charisma Media Frank Speech, and His Glory TV, we’ve shared this message, and people are responding. Churches and ministries nationwide are joining us in these 40 days of prayer, fasting, and repentance. I believe that God is working through you, Mr. President, and that His hand has protected you, even in moments like the recent attempt on your life in Butler, Pennsylvania. If you look back on your journey, I believe you will see God’s divine intervention time and time again. This is no coincidence; it is part of God’s plan for you.
One of my favorite quotes, passed down by my multi-great-grandfather Friedrich von Schiller, the “Ode to Joy” poet and philosopher, is, “There is no such thing as chance, and even the merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.” This belief has been at the heart of my mission. I feel called to share that nothing in life is accidental; everything is woven by the threads of destiny.
In my second book Trumpocalypse, co-authored with Paul McGuire, former host of the nationally-syndicated Paul McGuire Show and a Fox News, CNN and History Channel commentator, we emphasized the importance of national repentance, including an interview with our friend Rev. Jessip. In September 2020, Jessip, joined by New York Times bestselling author Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, led a historic event on the National Mall, where millions gathered in prayer and repentance. Mr. President, you were the first president since Abraham Lincoln to issue a proclamation for such a day. When you flew over the event in Marine One as Rabbi Cahn spoke, I saw a powerful example of your commitment to faith. At that moment, I was on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, birthplace of the “Azusa Street Revival,” gathered with a small group of believers, praying for revival in America, Hollywood and the media.
Today, in 2024, we need that same call for repentance, prayer, and fasting to rise again. I believe this is America’s “Nineveh Moment” that Billy Graham foresaw, and I believe you are the leader God has chosen to guide us through it. Millions of people are praying for you, Mr. President, for your family, JD Vance, and the future of our nation. As you attended and spoke at the National Faith Advisory Board Summit yesterday, my prayer was that you would call for national repentance, prayer, and fasting. If this message doesn’t reach you in time, I pray you’ll issue the call before or after the election. Either way, I believe God’s timing is perfect, and that with faith, all things are possible.
Just this weekend, my wife and I watched your rally at Madison Square Garden. We were moved by the energy in the room and the joy that filled the air. A moment that especially touched us was a sweet exchange between you and First Lady Melania Trump—a genuine and heartwarming reminder of the importance of family and grounded leadership. Your leadership, Mr. President, has been a beacon to millions who seek strength and vision.
When the day comes that you return to the White House, I imagine a unity like never before. Hundreds of millions, maybe even billions, around the world will join together in hope. My wife, our friends, and the ministries we serve will celebrate, crying out, “Praise God! Thank you, Lord!” This would be a resurgence of faith and unity unlike anything our nation has seen.
Why am I so passionate about this? For years, I’ve traveled the country, hearing voices from all walks of life who share this vision. Many Americans sense that we are in a spiritual and existential crisis and pray for revival. They believe, as I do, that you, Mr. President, are called to lead this charge. There’s something timeless about the phrase, “For such a time as this.” It suggests that certain people are divinely placed in moments of history to answer a unique call. I believe that you are divinely positioned to call America back to God, unity, and faith.
This is why I produced the video message for you. In it, I share my prayers and hopes for you, your family, and our nation. My sincere hope is that it will encourage you, knowing that millions support you. It’s not just a message for you as a leader, but as a fellow believer navigating these turbulent times, knowing that God’s purpose for you and for America is far from finished.
Today, we have the powerful opportunity to seize this moment of divine intervention. You are uniquely positioned to lead America into a spiritual revival. Just as Nineveh found mercy, so can America if we turn back to our roots, our faith, and our Creator, as Billy Graham told me.
Mr. President, this may be our generation’s “Nineveh Moment.” I urge you to remind us of the sacred opportunity to seek God’s mercy, pray fervently, and renew our commitment to faith. I know this is no small task, and I recognize the weight of your responsibility. But with God, all things are possible, and we are not in this fight alone.
America is at a critical turning point. But there is hope. Hope that our nation can be restored. Hope that we can experience revival. Hope that, through God’s guidance, we can find healing, strength, and unity once more.
May God continue to bless you, Mr. President, your family, and all who stand with you in this calling. And may America, under your leadership, experience a revival that renews our spirit and lights the way for generations to come. This is a moment of destiny, and together—with faith, courage, and God’s guidance—we can usher in a brighter future.
With heartfelt prayers and unwavering hope,

Special Featured #2: America’s Nineveh Moment: Reflections on Repentance, Revival, and the Battle for Our Nation’s Soul
Reflecting on a recent conversation with my coauthor of The Babylon Code and Trumpocalypse, Dr. Paul McGuire, I’m reminded of the profound responsibility we have to discern the times and respond to God’s call for national repentance. In our discussion, it became clear that America stands at a critical juncture—a “Nineveh Moment” where how we respond to God’s call could define our nation’s future. In our interview, Dr. McGuire and I explored the deep spiritual roots of this moment, seeing how divine signs, historic patterns, and God’s guidance through Scripture are all converging to awaken the heart of America.
A Time of Divine Warning: America’s Call to Repentance and National Awakening
One of the most compelling points in our conversation centered around Rev. Kevin Jessip, who shared with me his conviction about America’s need for a national repentance movement. A descendant of the Pilgrim Fathers, Jessip is connected to the spiritual legacy of the Mayflower through Pastor John Robinson, who inspired the Pilgrims to seek God’s guidance on their journey. This legacy of seeking God’s will for a nation is a powerful thread running through America’s history—a history in which great leaders have turned to God in times of trial.
As Dr. McGuire and I discussed, these calls for repentance were once integral to American leadership. From George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, presidents would regularly declare national days of prayer, fasting, and humility or repentance. Washington credited such days with the revolutionary victories that gave birth to America, and Lincoln attributed the 1863 day of prayer with the eventual victory of the North, preserving the Union and abolishing slavery. Dr. McGuire explained that during the early years, these practices shaped the spiritual foundation of America. However, for a century and a half, the country drifted from this tradition.
This inspired us to incorporate the need for a national day of repentance into Trumpocalypse, a book Paul and I wrote amid the unexpected rise of Donald Trump. As we completed the book, Rev. Jessip took the call to action into the real world. Through prayer and divine favor, he rallied prominent faith and business leaders, with Rabbi Jonathan Cahn stepping forward as a spokesman. Against all odds, The Return: National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance came to fruition on September 26, 2020. Hundreds of thousands gathered on the National Mall, with over 42 million joining online. In a historic moment, President Trump flew over the event in Marine One, issuing a presidential proclamation for a “Day of Prayer and Return”—the first of its kind since Lincoln.
Signs from Above: Eclipses, Prophetic Warnings, and America’s Crossroads
As Dr. McGuire reflected on The Return, he pointed to the deeper, ongoing spiritual battle at work—a struggle between light and darkness, good and evil. This, he argued, is the very battle for America’s soul. He spoke about Nikola Tesla’s vision of limitless, free energy for humanity, which he developed with groundbreaking technologies. These discoveries, however, were stifled by powers that prioritized control over liberation. Dr. McGuire likened this struggle to the opposition God’s people face today, a system that seeks to enslave rather than empower. Tesla’s story, he argued, was a metaphor for the potential the Holy Spirit offers to those willing to seek it: boundless energy, strength, and wisdom. But as he reminded me, this power requires access through repentance and unity with God’s will.
As we talked, I shared another profound sign looming on the horizon—the Great North American Eclipse on April 8, 2024. I’d written about its significance in Charisma magazine, noting how an eclipse in 2017 traversed American towns named Salem and Jerusalem. This eclipse crossed others named Nineveh and Jonah. Together, these eclipses create a striking “X” over Carbondale, Illinois—also known as “Little Egypt”—symbolizing the Hebrew letters Aleph and Tav, or Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the name of Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation. For Dr. McGuire and me, the symbolism is clear: America is receiving a message, perhaps its last, to repent and realign with God’s purpose.
Power from On High: The Holy Spirit’s Role in America’s Spiritual Battle
Dr. McGuire passionately argued that this is the time to wake up, just as Jonah warned Nineveh. He pointed to biblical prophecies, like those in the Book of Joel, which foretell of God’s Holy Spirit being poured out in the last days. These signs are all around us—the blood moons, the eclipses, and the unrest sweeping the world. Yet, with every warning comes a promise: if we turn to God, He will restore us.
Our conversation often circled back to the immense power of the Holy Spirit. Dr. McGuire spoke of the dunamis power—a spiritual force that offers limitless potential to those who believe. This divine energy, he explained, is greater than any technological discovery or scientific breakthrough. He reminded me that, just as Jesus instructed His disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit, today’s believers must seek God’s power through genuine repentance and faith. In a society that often minimizes the supernatural, Dr. McGuire urged believers to tap into the transformative power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the forces threatening our nation.
As Dr. McGuire rightly observed, history teaches that without God, nations crumble. But history also shows that when people repent, God’s mercy prevails. He urged every listener to embrace America’s “Nineveh Moment” by seeking God wholeheartedly and allowing His Spirit to work through us.
Our conversation left me profoundly encouraged yet urgently aware of the stakes. America’s “Nineveh Moment” is here, and with it, an opportunity to rekindle a true Great Awakening. As Dr. McGuire often says, we’re in a battle not just for our lives, but for the soul of this nation. It’s time to repent, to pray, and to trust that if we turn back to God, He will heal our land.
The path forward is not easy, but with faith, repentance, and a reliance on God’s power, I believe America can stand again as a beacon of light and truth. This is our moment to respond, to heed the call, and to witness God’s hand move in our nation once more.

Presidential Reflections: A Call to Prayer and Repentance
Each day, we draw inspiration from historical figures who called the nation to prayer and repentance during times of great challenge. Today, I’m reflecting on President Rutherford B. Hayes, who, in 1877, issued a Proclamation for Thanksgiving Day. His message highlighted the nation's many blessings and reminded the American people of their dependence on Almighty God for all that is good.
In his proclamation, Hayes gave thanks for the bountiful harvest, peace, and health across the nation, declaring:
"This devout and public confession of the constant dependence of man upon the divine favor for all the good gifts of life and health and peace and happiness... finds in the survey of the past year new grounds for its joyful and grateful manifestation."
Hayes encouraged the nation to reflect on the “protecting providence of God” that had safeguarded the country’s strength, peace, and freedom. He called for a day of collective thanksgiving and prayer, urging the people to meet in their places of worship and offer praise to God for His mercy and care, saying:
"Let us with one spirit and with one voice lift up praise and thanksgiving to God for His manifold goodness to our land, His manifest care for our nation."
As we reflect on President Hayes’ call, we are reminded that in both times of prosperity and challenge, it is essential to turn to God in gratitude and prayer. His guidance and blessings sustain us as individuals and as a nation.
By President Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the United States: 1877 ‐ 1881
Daily President’s Prayer: President Rutherford B. Hayes’ Proclamation 239—Thanksgiving Day, October 29, 1877
A Proclamation
The completed circle of summer and winter, seedtime and harvest, has brought us to the accustomed season at which a religious people celebrates with praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Almighty God. This devout and public confession of the constant dependence of man upon the divine favor for all the good gifts of life and health and peace and happiness, so early in our history made the habit of our people, finds in the survey of the past year new grounds for its joyful and grateful manifestation.
In all the blessings which depend upon benignant seasons, this has indeed been a memorable year. Over the wide territory of our country, with all its diversity of soil and climate and products, the earth has yielded a bountiful return to the labor of the husbandman. The health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or widespread diseases. No great disasters of shipwreck upon our coasts or to our commerce on the seas have brought loss and hardship to merchants or mariners and clouded the happiness of the community with sympathetic sorrow.
In all that concerns our strength and peace and greatness as a nation; in all that touches the permanence and security of our Government and the beneficent institutions on which it rests; in all that affects the character and dispositions of our people and tests our capacity to enjoy and uphold the equal and free condition of society, now permanent and universal throughout the land, the experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting providence of God and is full of promise and hope for the coming generations.
Under a sense of these infinite obligations to the Great Ruler of Times and Seasons and Events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frailties if in any degree that perfect concord and happiness, peace and justice, which such great mercies should diffuse through the hearts and lives of our people do not altogether and always and everywhere prevail. Let us with one spirit and with one voice lift up praise and thanksgiving to God for His manifold goodness to our land, His manifest care for our nation.
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States, do appoint Thursday, the 29th day of November next, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer; and I earnestly recommend that, withdrawing themselves from secular cares and labors, the people of the United States do meet together on that day in their respective places of worship, there to give thanks and praise to Almighty God for His mercies and to devoutly beseech their continuance.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 29th day of October, A.D. 1877, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and second.
R. B. HAYES
By the President:
WM. M. EVARTS,
Secretary of State.
