Sid Roth: These are the Two Most Important Words for 2025
In a recent livestream, Sid Roth of “Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural!” described what he believes the year 2025 will be like.
“A couple of words that have been bantered around for 2025 because they rhyme really is what I’m expecting in 2025. Thrive and alive in ’25,” Roth says.
Roth says that have had a dress rehearsal to experience the glory of God, and revival has been evident. However, he foresees a move of God coming this year unlike anything experienced in the past.
“I also am wondering why the devil is working so hard to derail humanity, and I have my answer: Because the glory is as close as it’s ever been to humanity,” Roth says.
He believes we are getting ready to head into a revival of the Lord’s glory that will continue to be experienced for much longer than any previous move of the Holy Spirit.
“We are entering the greatest move that will not stop [until] Jesus returns,” Roth says.
As we prepare for this great revival, we must also take into account the necessity for godly repentance if we want to see God save, redeem and restore our world. Roth points to the exposure of ministries in 2024 as potentially due to the impending judgment that starts first in the house of God before it comes to unbelievers.
As we have all fallen short of the glory of God, and many today have chosen to go down the wrong paths of abortion, witchcraft, drugs and perversion, there is a need for true biblical repentance so that the masses can experience freedom in Christ and the filling of the Holy Spirit.
“Without true biblical repentance, and it’s different than what’s portrayed in the movies, without true biblical repentance, there’s no forgiveness of sin,” Roth says.

Biblical Essentials for Navigating Marriage and Ministry
In a recent podcast, Vlad and Lana Savchuk discussed the struggles they’ve encountered with blending their marriage and ministry lives, and how the Lord has graciously led them to grow together over the years.
After the two first got married, Lana experienced spiritual warfare, including attacks in her sleep. She says she was going through a cycle of attacks that made her feel unlike herself and she could not seem to get out of this cycle. Vlad notes that during this time he also dealt with expectations that she would be involved in ministry in the certain capacity that he wanted. Despite these obstacles, the two continued to grow with each other and the Holy Spirit.
“When she would give insights into certain decisions that I would make, into certain decisions about our personal life, that I was amazed,” says Savchuk. “She just saw things straight. And the Lord started personally dealing with my heart and said, ‘You know, there’s two people that you need to keep very close, and you need to keep very honest with; that will guarantee your protection.'”
Savchuk assumed that his uncle, his pastor, was the one that he was supposed to keep close with. However, God pointed out that this was not so.
“He says, ‘You pretty much can talk your way [out] and you can conceal things, even in your own heart from your pastor.’ He said, ‘But two people you cannot do that to: the Holy Spirit…and second one is your wife. She knows you through thick and thin, she spots things before…'”
Savchuk says when God started dealing with his heart, he began to shift some of the structure of the church where Lana could smoothly accept the calling on her life to disciple other women. Lana became more of her own individual, and it was within recent years that her gifts started to shine and flourish.
Lana says her natural tendency is to run and hide away, but now she feels empowered, even challenged by the Holy Spirit and her husband to walk in the calling and purpose for her life.
“…when the wife feels the call, and sometimes they will feel the call, if we water that, if we encourage that, not push it, you know flowers don’t grow when you pull them, they grow when you water them,” Vlad Savchuk says. “If we water that calling and encourage her to step up and to grow and to use her gifts in the Kingdom of God, if the gifts that she has and foster that, it could by a dynamic, beautiful thing.”
“We made a decision that our marriage is not our mission; we will not sacrifice our marriage for the mission, but our marriage will be on the mission, and that mission is to serve the body of Christ,” Vlad says. “Some people, they will sacrifice their marriage to fulfill the calling of God; other people will make their marriage really the calling of God, everything’s about the marriage, everything’s about them…”
The first practice that Cahn encourages believers to take part in is to dedicate their first fruits to the Lord. This includes items like tithing and placing our time before the Lord as critical above all else.
“The principle of the first fruit is if you dedicate the first fruit, the rest is dedicated. If you consecrate the first fruit, the rest is holy. So, by lifting up the first fruit to God, the rest of the harvest is considered consecrated,” says Cahn.
Cahn points out that part of the first fruits of what would come from Jesus’ death and resurrection was the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the 120 people in the upper room.
“So on that day 2,000 years ago, God lifted up 120 people and He anointed them. He poured out His Spirit on them and they spoke in other tongues…they were speaking the tongues of the nations. Everybody heard them in their own language,” says Cahn.
“So the first fruit determines everything else. Consecrates, makes holy, everything else. The first fruit represents the rest, determines the rest,” he continues.
Cahn explains that one practice Christians should keep in mind is to ordain our days for the purposes of God.
“Your days are to be ordained to bring you to that calling, to that purpose,” says Cahn. “They’re not just going to be lazy and sit there, your days are going to be ordained to minister.”
The anointing of God is also be understood, cherished and respected. The word ‘Christ’ itself, as Cahn points out, translates to Messiah, the anointed one.
“It is the anointing of God’s Spirit, the conferring of God’s power, of His authority, of His ability, specifically to accomplish the calling,” says Cahn. “If you are of the anointed one, you must live an anointed life. You are called to live an anointed life.”

Gabe Poirot: The Spiritual Battles We Could See in 2025
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, prophetic voice Gabe Poirot discussed the types of spiritual battles he believes we will see in 2025.
Poirot believes that what we saw at the end of 2024 with the invasion of the drones in particular is a small glimpse of the psychological, spiritual and physical warfare that will come against us in this new year.
“What I see over 2025, I see the body of Christ has woken up, and in November we said, ‘Not this time,'” Poirot says. “We remembered what had happened in 2020. We remembered how we had stayed silent for far too long, and I’m really convinced we took the stand that was necessary. However, in 2025 it’s going to take the action of our faith. “
“…it’s not just a psychological warfare, but it is a spiritual war that we are facing,” says Poirot. “Where we are going to be lured into emotionally reacting to everything we are witnessing with our eyes…if we will not stay in the secret place for everything we’re about to face in the coming year, we will be in the wrong place.”
Poirot says this means the body of Christ cannot just fall back into laziness, but we are in a critical time to use and enforce our authority and victory that Jesus won on our behalf. He also urges Christians to keep praying against any schemes set up by the devil to happen regarding Trump’s inauguration date. Above all, he believes we must show the love of Christ to all those we encounter, including our family and friends.
“I would say the Lord is really asking His body right now, ‘Will you walk in My love?’ Because that is the only way you’re going to come out of this on top.”

‘Bishop Lazarus’: T.D. Jakes Makes Ministry Return Following Health Crisis
Bishop T.D. Jakes has returned to the pulpit at The Potter’s House Dallas following a health scare in November. He considers his life nothing short of a miracle.
Jakes made his return during the New Year’s Eve service at the Dallas megachurch.
“I cannot tell you how glad I am to be in the house of the Lord tonight,” Jakes told the congregation. “I missed you. I thank you.”
Jakes says he experienced anxiety before heading back to the same spot where he almost lost his life.
“I had a fair amount of anxiety about walking out on this stage, standing in the same spot that I almost died in,” Jakes says. “In fact, I think I did. But God in His infinite wisdom and His great grace brought me back to the same spot.”
Jakes says while he was in the emergency room he asked the Lord why He allowed his health scare to happen in public, right on stage in front of everyone.
“And He said, ‘I made a sign out of you,'” Jakes says. “If God be for you, no weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper.”
Jakes encouraged the congregation, asking them that they would let his return to the pulpit be a signal to them that God bring them into a comeback.
“I don’t know what you’re going through tonight, but let this be a signal to you that you’re on your way to a comeback. And if I’m talking directly to you, and if all the odds have been against you, and if they couldn’t hardly get a pulse on you, and if you couldn’t hardly recognize anybody and everybody said you weren’t going to make it, I’m standing here as a testimony. I don’t come as Bishop Jakes, I come as Bishop Lazarus to let you know that with God all things are possible.”

What to Know About the Prophetic New Year’s Eve Lightning Phenomenon
On New Year’s Eve, lightning struck multiple buildings of significance in both Washington, D.C. and New York City. The question that now remains: was this a prophetic symbol?
Something peculiar happened on New Year’s Eve, impacting two of America’s most profound cities and places of importance there. Lighting struck the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center. The odds of something like this happening seems less likely to be by chance and more like a prophetic symbol of something still to come.
Lance Wallnau shared the video of the U.S. Capitol building being struck by lighting on X where he wrote, “Lighting struck 4 iconic structures tonight: the Capitol, Empire State building, One World Trade Center and the Washington Monument – all in the same storm on New Year’s Eve. D.C. was hit at 5:36 p.m.”
His posted pointed out some vital questions about what the Lord may be trying to get us to ponder on.
Sometimes the locations and timing are significant. Will New York be hit this year? Does “trade” imply an economic meltdown? Wall Street? Do two D.C. targets speak of great government shaking this will create?
Perhaps. But what I heard in my spirit was “check the time” and heard “John 5:36.”
Lightning struck 4 iconic structures tonight: the Capitol, Empire State building, One World Trade Center and the Washington Monument – all in the same storm on New Year's eve. D.C. was hit at 5:36 PM.
Sometimes the locations and timing are significant. Will New York be hit this… https://t.co/VJnXq2l5JP
I have greater testimony that that of John. The works which the Father has given Me to finish, the very works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.
We will know when something is of Jesus; His fingerprints are all over His great and mighty works.
Another post on X showing the footage of the lightning strikes reads, “Lightning strikes the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center on New Year’s Eve.”
Hold on to your lamps saints; it’s going to be a bumpy 2025. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
GOD send us a Sign ! 👇🏻
Lightning strikes the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center on New Year’s Eve.
Hold on to your lamps saints; it’s going to be a bumpy 2025.
While these signs may be hard for some to believe, Scripture tells us that God gives signs in the skies, both in Genesis at the very beginning and again in Luke when Jesus tells us about the signs of His Second Coming.
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs to indicate seasons, and days and years,” (Gen. 1:14).
There will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming on the inhabited earth. For the powers of heaven will be shaken. (Luke. 21:25-26).
God makes His voice and His glory known through the heavens, so there is a real possibility that these lightning strikes were part of a prophetic warning.
With Trump’s inauguration just a couple of weeks away, perhaps God really is about to do something new and different in 2025. Despite the criticism and skepticism from the secular media, the specific buildings struck by lightning seem intentional, as though God truly is trying to gain our attention.

Joseph Z: 2025 is the Year to Storm Babylon
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media, prophetic voice Joseph Z shared what the Lord has spoken to him about for what the church can expect this upcoming year.
In 2024, Z prophesied that it would be a do-over year, paralleling 2020. As we saw this do-over year come to pass with the election cycle and even both the Dodgers and the Kansas City Chiefs taking victories in the sports arena, what happens now in 2025 after the do-over is critical.
“The Lord is speaking to me very clearly about what is to come, and I sense because of this do-over, because of the way the Lord has done things, there is unfinished business that needs to take place,” Z says. “I believe we are going into a time of generational quaking and generational building.”
Z says that after watching the new Superman trailer, God spoke to him about this being a representation of America and the leadership of the church. He also says that when Trump won his re-election, the Lord spoke to him about the state of the church.
“As soon as Trump won in November, the word of the Lord came to me and said, ‘Here is what we’re in danger of right now: The church is in danger of being defeated by victory,'” Z says. “Although we’ve seen this good thing happen, we’ve seen light shine in darkness…the bottom line is suddenly there’s a nefarious supernatural force that’s been released into the nation. It’s been released into the world. It’s a form of witchcraft, it’s a form of Jezebel, it’s a form of deviant voices, prophetic deviant voices, and all these things that are coming forward are trying to manipulate what’s happened.”
Z says the darkness did not believe it would lose, almost placing everything in a spiritual lull for a couple of weeks before we saw an increase in strange occurrences like the drones and the threat of nuclear warfare.
“We’ve seen victory, now the supernatural forces are being released, and what we’ve got to do is rise up in prayer and do what the ecclesia does best, push back the gates of hell,” he says.
Z reveals that in the first two quarters of the year he’s seen the threat of nuclear war, and it is the church’s job to push back this dark agenda. He also had a vision where he was on a bus and saw a flashing in a mountainous area where everyone was dreading what was to come, with heat coming off of the flash.
“The Lord spoke to me as soon as I woke up from that and said, ‘The church is the nuclear deterrent. The body of Christ is the nuclear deterrent.’ And I got a witness in my spirit that said, ‘If we can go through quarter one and quarter two of this coming year without a nuclear incident, or even if there’s a small nuclear incident we can still have the grace of God get us over that…if we get to July without a nuclear incident, without some of these things taking down the nation, I believe we’re going to see the turn of the tide completely.”
Z believes this turning of things will bring another chance for our generation and our children’s generation.
“I believe we’re up to 16 years of redemptive instability where we’ll see a turnaround and victory come. I believe we could see 20 years of life that begins the build and rebuild to the year 2040; I believe God has a marker on that year.”
Z says it is the job of the church right now to keep striking the arrows against the darkness until the enemy is defeated.
“The word of the Lord for 2025 is that we as the body of Christ, the ecclesia, are to storm Babylon,” says Z. “We are to continue rising in prayer, pushing back this nefarious agenda of witchcraft, darkness, social evils, this woke ideology, this control over our economics, this wickedness that’s happening with an invasion of our nation.”

Kim Clement’s Amazing New Year’s Prophecy
Are you ready for what God will do in this new year?
In a video from Dec. 31, 2014, the late Kim Clement gave a prophecy for the coming year that still is ringing true within our world a decade later.
“There is a sound that is coming, that the world has never heard before. On the day of Pentecost, there was a sound that came, and My church was born,” Clement said. “That sound destroyed the powers that would chain them, that would bind them. That sound would be stolen through the ages. But there was always a remnant who kept the sound safely. And then at the right time it would be released.”
Clement prophesied that this piercing sound would rise again, bringing freedom to the modern church.
“And I shall cause a people that have said ‘We refuse to accept the judgment of our enemies upon our souls…’ God says, ‘Today, there is a sound of freedom that my prophets have heard. A freedom that I will release. And in this next year, you shall be surprised at how much liberty and freedom shall come.'”
Clement’s prophecy also rebuked the nation of Greece, and spoke of victory for Israel. As he spoke, he also discussed of a generation that was chosen to be preachers who would bring back revival and godliness into the church.
“I have chosen from amongst this generation children of another kind,” Clement prophesied. “Preachers of this generation that will literally bring back what has been lost in the church. I shall bring back the light of the miraculous.”
It is through this generation, one that has experienced persecution and death, where Clement prophesied life and salvations would come from, including for revival to sweep across Korea.
“As you take a step into this year in the middle of this decade, where I have promised the deliverance from debt, do you believe it?” Clement prophesied.

The Wildest Events We Saw in 2024
2024 was filled with all kinds of wild events that happened this year. Now, as we reflect on the close of the year, here are some of the most outrageous stories we saw happen in 2024 both within the church and in the wider culture.
An increase in a number of leaders falling into sin from the Dallas area continued to grow to such a climax that there almost appeared as though a spiritual battle had to be occurring over this area.
Perhaps one of the strangest controversies of 2024 came out of the James River Church Stronger Men’s Conference when ministry leader Mark Driscoll called out pastor John Lindell for having a sword swallower who ascended up a pole in what he considered a sexually charged way. The controversy lasted long after the initial conference.
At the beginning of the year, the world witnessed celebrity Ice Spice make demonic hand gestures during the Superbowl wearing an upside-down cross necklace in a black Balenciaga outfit, a brand known for promoting incredibly promiscuous activity and child abuse. She sat with her friend, Taylor Swift, who is openly known for her latest anti-God album and for having witchcraft performances during her concerts.
In a sad twist to 2024, Kanye West publicly renounced the Christian faith he had embraced just a few years prior. He has since concluded that he is ‘The god of me.’ Continue to lift West up in prayer.
With the Sean “Diddy” Combs case unraveling, a list of celebrity names was revealed in a lawsuit of who was involved in Diddy’s egregious parties. The famous bishop’s name appeared on this list, and he has previously denied accusations made against him in connection to Diddy.
Kim Kardashian closed out the year with a demonic, sexually grotesque Christmas video that mocked Jesus and included inappropriate implications revolving around Santa. As she is one of the most famous people in the world, we should also keep her in prayer; if someone like Kim Kardashian truly accepted and followed the Lord, it could spark a revival for many of her fans.
Former Disney Star Sabrina Carpenter also drifted toward the demonic with her recent song “Please Please Please” which talked about her boyfriend having the devil in him.
Country singer Maren Morris, who was formerly known for biblical principles being intertwined into her music, decided in 2024 to declare herself as part of the LGBTQ community.

Mark Driscoll Shares His 10 Prophetic Predictions for the New Year
In a recent message, Pastor Mark Driscoll gave his 10 prophetic predictions about what he believes the church will encounter in 2025.
“I believe that we have an opportunity as God’s people to pay attention to what is happening in the culture so that we can be best prepared for what God intends for His people, the church, in 2025,” says Driscoll.
1. Men are re-emerging as leaders for the future.
Driscoll points out that this year’s election was determined greatly by the number of men who showed up to voice their opinion about the kind of society they want to live in. Typically, it is the suburban women who make the difference in the election, but this year, Driscoll says, it was the male voter who stepped up to the plate.
“This is a historic opportunity, and we need to hear what the Spirit of God is saying to the churches,” Driscoll says. “And one thing that the Holy Spirit is saying is, ‘It’s time to make men a priority. It’s time for the church to value men again.’ And that what we have seen historically is that evangelicalism has become increasingly soft, weak, woke, compromised, and it is time for strong men to enter into the pulpit and enter into the ministry and lead with a sense of actual testosterone-driven, Elijah-like, Paul-like, Jeremiah-like prophetic courage.”
2. Young men are not interested in progressive ideology and are becoming increasingly interested in a traditional family lifestyle.
Driscoll points out that as young men are increasingly becoming more conservative and young women are becoming more liberal, we are seeing a fracturing in society.
“So, what does this provide for the church? Well, hear what the Spirit of God is saying to the church; an entire generation of young men is saying, ‘I want to be a man who marries a woman and works a job and has a family…’ the only hope is the church of Jesus Christ. This entire beginning and stirring of a young generation of men who are aspiring to conservative values like faith and family and freedom and fatherhood, the church of Jesus Christ is the only hope,” says Driscoll. “If you are a leader in a church or the pastor of a church…you need to refocus all of your energy and attention toward reaching young men, toward activating young men, toward discipling young men.”
3. Confidence in mainstream media continues to trend downward.
Driscoll points out that statistically, people continue to lose trust in traditional media, especially as its bias against Trump and toward Harris was so blatant this year. There is also a rise of alternative media that continues to grow. So, how is the church to respond to this change in media consumption?
“What does this provide for the church of Jesus Christ? It provides an opportunity to tell the truth. It provides an opportunity to function not in a political way, but in a prophetic way. Not where you’re trying to gain an audience, but where you’re trying to glorify God…what we are seeing is people are looking for the truth. People are desperate for the truth. People are hungry for the truth. People are sick of being lied to. They’re sick of sound bites and manipulation. What they want is truth, unvarnished…”
4. The reality of the demonic is coming to light in the mainstream culture.
Driscoll points to Tucker Carlson’s experience of being attacked by a demon and how his story has permeated throughout the nation, showing the reality of dark and evil forces.
“Ultimately, the demonic is mainstream. Demons are no longer just hiding; they’re parading,” says Driscoll.
“There really is an unseen supernatural realm, there really is a God and a Satan, there really are angels and demons, there really is spiritual warfare.”
5. There has been an explosion of Bible purchases made by non-Christians.
Driscoll notes that those who may not necessarily go to church or who do not know Jesus are seeking God in droves as they read the Bible for the very first time.
“Isn’t it curious that the Word of God is really, truly, living and active? Isn’t it amazing that all Scripture really is God-breathed and profitable? Isn’t it incredible that every Word of God is flawless and proved true? Isn’t it amazing that though we have so much technology what people want to do is find a copy of the Bible and open it and read it for themselves? Well, what is the Spirit of God saying to the church? You need to be in God’s Word.”
6. Israel has successfully taken out many terrorist leaders since the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks.
After the world was shocked by the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks in Israel, Driscoll points out that the this attack and the takedown of terrorist leaders by Israel has end times, prophetic implications.
“If you understand the Gog-Magog war, if your view of the battle of Armageddon is consistent with more of this [premillennial] view of the end times, it seems to indicate that there will be a war at the end of time where the nations surround Israel and seek to attack and destroy it,” says Driscoll.
7. The transgender agenda is beginning to plummet.
Driscoll says that as the transgender movement continues to become more outrageous, there is also a growth of people rejecting the ideology as valid altogether.
“It provides an opportunity to teach people that we’re made in the image and likeness of God. We are made with a soul, we are made with a body and we are made male and female. And, that the Bible speaks to men and women. It speaks to husbands and father. It speaks to wives and mothers, and it tells us to raise not just children, but sons and daughters…the people who have come to the conclusion that they have been lied to, that their children have been brainwashed, that a generation has been mutilated, they need Bible teaching…”
8. The number of abortions in the U.S. have increased since the end of Roe v. Wade.
As abortion was one of the center topics during the election season, Driscoll compares the act with the sacrificing of children as commanded by the demon, Molech.
“What is the Spirit of God saying to the churches? That we have to be pro-life from womb to tomb,” Driscoll says. “That we have to help those women who have made a tragic choice and now regret it to know the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ and to know healing for themselves and hope for the eternal salvation of their child, whom God can call and save from the womb…”
9. God is cleaning house in the body of Christ.
Looking at the declining numbers of pastors who hold a biblical worldview, Driscoll says God is cleaning house in the church for only the true believers in Christ Jesus to remain.
“God’s people need to be given a biblical worldview. And it’s not just accept Jesus and you’ll go to heaven when you die; it’s how to grow in your relationship with God every step of the journey.”
10. Our children can be wise counselors.
Driscoll points to the story of how Barron Trump served to help his father understand and work with podcasters, which ended up being a key for Donald Trump in securing his re-election bid. Just as Trump listened to his son and saw valuable leadership skills in him, the church too is to raise children to be world-changing leaders.
