Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the

words of prophecy, and keep those things which
are written therein: for the time is at hand.
—REVELATION 1:3 KJV

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father

which sent me, he gave me a commandment,
what I should say, and what I should speak
And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as
the Father said unto me, so I speak.

FOREWORD

By J.L. Maclin

A
s an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am
fully aware of the potentiality of me losing
my life for Christ. While many avoid such
conversations, I believe it’s simply a part
of the Apostolic call. Many scriptures inform us of
our responsibility to die for Christ. One in
particular that resonates with me is the Apostle
Paul’s second letter to his spiritual son Timothy
where it states:

“Thou, therefore, endure hardness as a good soldier of

Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself
with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who
hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 TIMOTHY 2:3-4

Paul’s letter to Timothy implicates all those

who serve Christ are Soldiers. A Soldiers’
responsibility is to die. They die for the cause of
the war on behalf of their commander in chief.
Jesus the Christ our God, Lord, King, Master, and
Savior sent Paul into the world as a Soldier and

3
MARTYR-MINDED
subsequently Timothy and all who will serve the
King of Kings. Once we are saved, we are
immediately injected into a cosmic war of holiness
versus unholiness.
There is nothing more important than
understanding this war and the consequences
that accompany it. It is abundantly clear, the body
of Christ must be trained in this methodology. A
failure to teach, embrace and expect the culture of
war which can and will lead to martyrdom is
dangerous and tantamount to spiritual
malpractice and ignorance.
Prophet Nicola A. Maclin is my wife, mother of
my children, associated overseer of our
fellowship, and supremely qualified to articulate
this methodology of martyrdom. As a Prophet, she
has a unique perspective; she sees the world from
a heaven-to-earth perspective. Meaning she uses
the revelation from her God-given mantle to
provide prophetic insights. In our current
Ecclesiastical condition, we need a prophetic eye
to describe what being a martyr is all about.
In this book, you will read prophetic
revelations directly from the throne of God that
will prepare you for war and subsequently
martyrdom. Additionally, she will inspire you to
embrace a life of righteousness and holiness

before God that will transform your and thinking

martyrs of Christ.

GOD IS SPEAKING

F
rom the beginning, God has been speaking.
All through the biblical recordings of
creation, we see where God said, and said,
and said again. He brought everything into
existence by speaking. From the beginning, He has
been warning us and preparing us for times of
trials. In the garden in the east of Eden, He warned
Adam and his wife Eve of the consequences of
eating from the wrong tree. Throughout the
scriptures, we continue to see Him warning His
children of the results of their actions and
decisions.
This speaking God, who can communicate to
us about hundreds of years in advance, has also
sought to speak to us concerning the end-times.

7
MARTYR-MINDED
Concerning these times, he wants to equip and
prepare us. Concerning these times, He wants us
to know he has not changed his standards and
principles. Even in how he operates with man, he
continues to warn us. He continues to attempt to
inform us of the consequences of our actions and
the actions of our adversary.
In the book of Revelation, he illuminates to us
through his Apostle John of what is to come. What
is clear is that in the end, His side wins. However,
on the way to the end, he has sought to
strategically provide direction and information
concerning the enemy's battle plans.
No strategic leader fights a war without a plan.
No strategic leader fights a battle without
intelligence. Here, God is attempting to equip his
people with the intelligence needed to fight the
coming war and future persecution. He provides
us with the information, knowledge, and wisdom
required to stand and endure what is to come.
There has never been a time in history or in
the earth where it is more critical and necessary
for us to receive strategies from our creator. From
the one who knows the end from the beginning.
From the all-knowing one.

8
 GOD IS SPEAKING

This book has been ordained to do as much, to
awaken you to the plans of your adversary; to
enlighten you on how God expects you to respond
to these plans, to prepare you for the coming
persecution of the evil one and his minions, and to
aid you in overcoming them.
This is it!
Receive!
Receive it in Jesus' name!

GENESIS

B
efore launching directly into this
prophetic release, I want to present you
with foundational information to help you
understand this book clearly and in its
proper context. I highly encourage you not to miss
out by skipping ahead. Be sure to read this chapter
before going forward with reading this book.
These past few months have been phenomenal
for me concerning the revelatory dimension of the
prophetic. My time with the Lord has been like no
other in my journey. The revelation the Lord has
been imparting into my spirit has revitalized and
renewed me. This newly imparted revelation has
irrevocably transformed my soul.

11
MARTYR-MINDED
At the end of December 2020 and throughout
January 2021, the Lord impressed upon my heart
to write this book and release through publishing
the revelation of his word of the activation and the
release of his martyrs into the earth.
From the strength of my secret place, the Lord
began revealing to me His heart concerning the
rise of the martyrs and the coming persecution of
His people. What flowed was unexpected. It just
flowed from the heart of God during my intimate
time with Him. This divinely inspired message has
transformed and continues transforming me as I
write it for your reading and comprehension.
This book results from time spent in prophetic
intercession, conversation, worship, and prayer.
Time spent crying out to God for the nation and
revelation. In Jeremiah 33:3, God declared
through His Prophet Jeremiah, “Call unto me, and
I will answer thee, and show thee great and
mighty things, which thou knowest not.” The
word “Mighty” in Greek is the verb “batsar,” which
translates to mean “secrets, mysteries,
inaccessible things.” When we call unto God, He
will answer and show us great secrets, mysteries,
and inaccessible things.

12
 GENESIS
It is the nature of the Spirit of God to see the
beginning and the ending. The beginning and end
are all laid out before Him; therefore, He speaks to
us from his realm of reality. We serve a God who
speaks hundreds of years in the future the way we
speak about 60 seconds ago in the past. He has
more clarity about what will happen hundreds of
years in the future than we have about what
happened only a few minutes ago. This God has
decided to draw near to us and reveal his mind.
This God, who is all-powerful and holy, has
decided to equip and prepare us. Through His
word, He is allowing us to have an encounter with
Him.
It is not God’s desire that his people remain
ignorant; therefore, He has supernaturally
provided these words of knowledge, words of
wisdom, and prophecy outlined in this book to
equip and guide His people into this new age of
the martyrs.

13
MARTYR-MINDED

SCRIBAL PROPHET
The Lord told me he would write through me.
He would speak to me concerning the martyrs’
mind and impressed upon me the urgency for this
book. There is precedent for this in scripture. All
through scripture we discover a God who directs
his servants to record his word, his warnings, and
his instructions.

Thus, says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write in a

book all the words that I have spoken to you.
—Jeremiah 30: 2 ESV

Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a

book, that it may be for the time to come forever and
ever:
—ISAIAH 30:8 KJV

Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may

run who reads it.
—HABBAKUK 2:2 ESV

Write this down, for these are trustworthy and true.

—REVELATION 21:5 ESV

The Lord is still inspiring His Scribal Prophets

today. He is still inspiring people to write divine
revelation on His behalf. I have no excuse; how
could I not be obedient? We can read the
scriptures today because men were obedient
14
 GENESIS
when inspired by the Holy Spirit. This is not to say
that this book is on par with scripture, but He is
still inspiring writers today.

Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise

men and scribes
—MATTHEW 23:34 NASB

The scribal anointing is still alive and well in

the Kingdom of God. Scribal Prophets prophesy
the testimony of Jesus in writing; “… for the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”
(Revelation 19:10).
Scribal Prophet: A prophet who has
extraordinary writing instincts and literary
insight into the Word of the Lord and is assigned
by Him to engage in prophetic writing or
prophecy interpretation for future
generations…Scribal prophets more than write a
single book but are usually assigned to present a
collection of works to teach, enlighten, educate,
and inform their contemporaries, ministers, and
saints to come.i
—Dr. Paula A. Price
Those walking in this office will be the
mouthpiece of Christ in the earth — upholding the
foundations of faith; directing, correcting,
equipping, and strengthening the Body; and

15
MARTYR-MINDED
speaking into the destiny of the people of God that
they may be covered for the works of darkness.
(Jeremiah 1:8-10; Acts 21:10; Ephesians 2:20)ii
—Theresa Harvard Johnson
Martyr Minded is an act of obedience on my
part. It is a compilation of revelation imparted to
me by the Lord from October 2020 through
January 2021 concerning the activation and the
mindset of the martyrs. It will lead you, quicken
you, provide a revelation of Christ, wisdom,
understanding, and even deliverance; this is the
reason for the book.
This book’s genesis is in the mind of God
brought to my mind through the power of the Holy
Spirit. It is Holy Spirit-inspired. Though organized
and edited to fit in this format, I am fully
persuaded that it is an URGENT RHEMA word for
our generation to prepare and equip us for the
coming persecution. Flesh and blood have not
revealed these supernatural truths to me. It is a
word quickened in me by the Holy Spirit for this
time of the martyrs. All credit for this book goes to
Holy Spirit.

His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up

in my bones: I was weary of holding it back, and I could
not.
—JEREMIAH 20:9 NKJV

16
 GENESIS
An overwhelming immediacy has overtaken
me concerning the writing and releasing of this
message. I consider how John the Baptist or even
Noah may have felt—so consumed by the one
message given to them to deliver to a generation.
It’s as if God’s word for his people has consumed
my entire being and life. I want to share how I feel,
but not in words, if only there were a way to share
actual feelings with you. This message has been a
tremendous burden from the Lord, and I cannot
hold it back. God wants his people equipped and
prepared.

PROPHETIC REPETITION
God has spoken concerning these topics
before and will repeat and reiterate his word
concerning persecution and martyrdom to his
people. Even as he spoke to me over the past few
months, he repeated these words to me on several
occasions.
This is not the first occurrence where God has
spoken to his servants concerning persecution
and the martyr’s mindset. Likely, I am not the only
Prophet to whom God has spoken and is speaking

17
MARTYR-MINDED
to concerning this topic. However, there is a
perspective that he wants to release through me.

And he said unto me, “You must prophesy again about

many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.
—REVELATION 10:11 NKJV

By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may

be established.
—MATT. 16:18 & 2 COR. 13:1 NKJV

And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh

twice; it is because the thing is established by
God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
—GENESIS 41:32 KJV

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it

not.
— JOB 33:14 KJV

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this.

—PSALM 62:11 KJV

Prophetic Repetition/Reiteration: The

Lord's practice of repeating and re-sending
prophecies to people to assure they hear and
receive His Word, comprehend its effects in their
life, confirm that what they heard is truly from
Him. Throughout the Bible, it is recorded that God
sent several prophets on several occasions to

18
 GENESIS
restate a prophecy already heard. Sometimes, the
same Prophet will have to keep repeating it
because the hearer fails to take the Word
seriously or recklessly rejects the messenger. At
other times, the Word that may have come years
earlier is ready to come to pass. To remind the
person that what is about to happen to or for them
is a direct result of prophecy, God will send a new
rash of prophetic voices to them to renew the
prophecy and condition the hearer for the Word's
manifestation in its time.iii
Repetition is an effective form of emphasis.
God uses prophetic repetition as a way of
emphasizing his words. Throughout this book, I
will share revelations where certain words or
phrases are repeated several times. This is not by
accident. Repetitions function as a massive
billboard with spotlights; it is as if God is shouting
at us through a loudspeaker to say pay specific
and close attention. These repetitions are
significant to your understanding and
interpretation of these revelations.
Based on amplification through repetition,
God, our ultimate teacher, expands our
knowledge and causes us to grow spiritually. If
you study scripture carefully, you find the Bible
contains a great deal of repetition. Repetition has

19
MARTYR-MINDED
always been an essential element in God’s
communication with his people.

WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?

This book is about equipping the people of God
for these end times and the calling forth of God’s
martyrs on the earth. Outside of the scriptural
evidence and quoted works provided, I based this
book entirely on the prophetic revelation received
directly from the Lord concerning coming
persecution and revealing the martyr-minded
believer’s identity.
This book is not about Christian martyrs from
the past or a historical recount of martyrdom in
the Christian Church. It is for those who classify
themselves as followers of Jesus Christ and for the
Church.
God is speaking to bless his Body. He is
speaking and illuminating the Body concerning
the time of the martyrs and what is to come. This
prophetic release aims to put honor and glory
back on the sons and daughters of God and restore
what we gave up in the garden in Eden, a
relationship and oneness with the creator.

20
 GENESIS
This book releases the power of God. Prophecy
does not just release or manifest words but also
manifests God Himself. Therefore, do not quell
your emotions as you read. Perceive His thoughts
in your mind. You have the mind of Christ (1
Corinthians 2:16). As you read these words from
the heart of God, receive it as God manifesting
Himself, the focus of his heart imparted to you.
This urgent word will position you to prosper
amid what is now occurring on the earth.
Therefore, it is decidedly clear and even concise.
We are in a severe time of spiritual warfare; as a
war veteran, I recognize that communication
must be strategic, clear, concise, and made plain
so you may run with it.
It is always an honor to present the word of the
Lord to his people. I am passionate about
strengthening the Body of Christ and helping
believers grow and mature in the things of the
spirit. It is such a blessing and honor to write
knowing that I am transmitting a message
supernaturally charged by the Holy Spirit in me.
I pray this prophetic release connects with
those who have an ear to hear what the Spirit of
the Lord is revealing, that it will serve as a guide
for the preparation and equipping of the saints to

21
MARTYR-MINDED
understand God’s heart fully for His activated end-
time martyrs.
Lord Jesus, open this reader’s eyes to the
understanding of your word. Give him the
appetite for spiritual things and your word. Give
him illumination by the spirit of revelation. Open
his heart to receive this realm of your grace.
Amen.
Praise the name of the Lord for His
benevolence in releasing His word into the earth.
Hallelujah!

22
 GENESIS

PROPHETIC REVELATION
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth
his secret unto his servants the prophets.
—AMOS 3:8 KJV

For no prophecy was ever produced by the will

of man, but men spoke from God as they were
carried along by the Holy Spirit.
—2 PETER 1:21 ESV

The Lord has assigned his prophets and

apostles the critical task of preparing the way for
his second coming, along with getting his people
ready for Him to return. Old Testament Prophets
prepared the way for the Messiah to come.
Likewise, prophets today prepare the way for the
second coming of the Lord.
Prepare means to put in proper condition or
readiness, to clear away the obstacles. By the
power of the Holy Spirit, Prophets receive the
revelation of the mysteries of God to help clear the
way, prepare the people for the coming Christ, and
help usher them into His Kingdom.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, prepare

ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the
desert a highway for our God.
—ISAIAH 40:3 KJV

23
MARTYR-MINDED
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of
Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make
ready a people prepared for the Lord.
—LUKE 1:17 KJV

And that by [divine] revelation the mystery was made

known to me, as I have already written in brief. By
referring to this, when you read it you can understand
my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other
generations was not disclosed to mankind, as it has now
been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the
[Holy] Spirit;
—EPHESIANS 3: 3-5 AMP

Christ has given an anointing and

responsibility to his prophets and apostles to
bring revelatory truths to his Church. Truths are
concealed from the people’s sight until the God-
appointed time for them to be brought back into
existence and established. These revelatory truths
destroy lies, false perceptions, false teachings,
develop, prepare, and activate the people in
anticipation of the King of Kings’ return and
ushering in His Kingdom. These revelations, if
received and applied, will bring a revival in you. It
will renew, rejuvenate, and restore you.
The prophetic revelations released in this
book will help equip, prepare, and make you ready

24
 GENESIS
for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s second
coming. I know it will open the door to new areas
of growth in your relationship with God.

THE FOURTH WATCH

On Sunday, December 20 of 2020, Holy Spirit
commissioned me to write this book and begin
immediately during my early morning prayer
time. I received the prophetic revelations written
in this book primarily during the same time of the
morning. I am prone to hear the Lord the clearest
and most often between the hours of 3:30 am and
6 am. This time of the night or early morning is
considered the fourth watch of the night. This is
the time where I am usually awakened and stirred
by the Holy Spirit to come and posture myself to
hear what the Lord has to say. I get a strong desire
to go to my secret place to listening and record.
I hear in direct streams, and when I do, I often
receive prophetic words for individuals, the
corporate Body, and warnings and teachings that
are needed for current and coming seasons.
I am persuaded that this is a part of my
prophetic realm. Additionally, what I receive

25
MARTYR-MINDED
during these times helps me set the atmosphere
for my day and sometimes an entire season.
During the fourth prayer watch, I believe that
God unveils the enemy’s plans to his children. I
believe God was strategic with even the time that
he beckoned me to receive these revelations.
The Bible reveals to us that extraordinary and
miraculous things happen during the fourth
watch. Jacob wrestled with an angel during the
morning watch and received a name change. It
was on the fourth watch where Jesus came
walking on water and beckoned to Peter to come
(Matthew 14:25).
It was during this time that the Lord first
spoke to me concerning the rise of the martyrs. I
heard Him speak over his people, “The martyrs
are here and are being activated.” He then
instructed me to write this book, Martyr-Minded.
The Lord imparted unto me the urgency for this
book.
Where do I begin, Lord? Where do I begin?
“Just Write.”
The weightiness of His words consumed and
overwhelmed me. I immediately knew this
burden would not leave until I had completed the
assignment.

26
 GENESIS
Yes Lord, I’ll just write. Thank you Lord Jesus.
I started writing right away. With this call to
write, I received a grace to write that I never had
before.
