The Lord says, “For who shall stand against God? Who shall stand against the righteous Judge of all things? Who shall stand against our advocate, Christ Jesus? Who shall stand in a place to think that they shall be high and lifted up and be lofty in their pride? They shall fall. Unusual, strange deaths that will shock the earth … Oh, there shall be silence, but yet it shall be so loud.

Things Are Shifting Now

“Things are shifting.” The Spirit of God says, “Things are shifting. Things are shifting for great victory. Things are shifting for great celebration. Things are shifting. Listen! That there is an end… There was a moment in the Red Sea crossing where God declared, ‘The Egyptians that you see today, you shall see no more.’ There was an end to their agenda. There was an end to their pursuit. There was an end to the demonic spirits that worked through them. And this is what is coming; this is what is being unveiled; this is why you are shifting now. You are shifting now.

Do Not Be Moved by Storms—It’s the Time of Global Freedom!

“Do not be moved by darkness. Do not be moved by storms. Do not be moved by the storms. Do not be moved by the darkness, for it is but to distract from the shift that shall bring the revolution of light in a way that you have only dreamed of—to bring the nations into glory and into the manifestation of My goodness,” sayeth the Lord God of hosts.

September is the ninth month on our Gregorian calendar and represents a number of birthings.

On the Hebrew calendar, Rosh Hashanah is the celebration of the Jewish new year, and begins Sept. 25-27. The first day of autumn is Sept. 22 and is also symbolic of a time of change and harvest.

The New Monarchy Creation

As recently as Aug. 31, I was spending time in prayer when I saw a vision of a monarch butterfly and two other monarchs around it. Shortly after, I saw a picture of luminous nuggets of gold. I had been sensing that the intense testing I had been going through was coming to an end, and the Lord highlighted to me that these appeared on the last day of the month of August—the eighth month which represents new beginnings and restoration.

Recently, the Lord spoke to me about the harvesters. You can pass what you don’t possess.

Let’s go for more! Let’s possess the land.

We have witnessed unprecedented corruption, threats, wars and natural disasters over the last few years. Now we will flow in unprecedented signs, miracles and wonders.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has the dubious distinction of being the rape capital of the world. Statistics show that almost 40% of women in eastern Congo have been victims of sexual violence because rape has been used as a weapon of war by soldiers. So, I wasn’t surprised to learn that multiple women who attended a conference I hosted there two weeks ago had experienced rape.

During that conference in Goma, a city near the Rwandan border, I taught couples some simple Christian principles to encourage unity and intimacy in marriage. While I taught from Ephesians 5:25 (“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church…”), I asked a pastor to come to the stage to wash his wife’s feet while she sat in a chair. I explained that the verse from Ephesians is a reminder that Jesus served his disciples by washing their feet, and that a husband should learn to serve his wife with compassion and humility.

People in the audience began to whisper and laugh nervously as the pastor got on his knees in front of his bride. The people had never seen a scene like this. Men from Congo do not kneel in front of their wives! Men are considered superior to women, and women are expected to be subservient.

I’m Bronx-born (in Einstein Hospital) from the boroughs, so I have a lot invested in New York. I’ve lived here my whole life. Chris (my husband) was born in New York (we’re native New Yorkers). A Jets and Mets fan married a Giants and Yankees fan, and there was a complete civil war in my family.

A Word of the Lord for New York

“Watch New York going to the end of the year, for unexpected change is upon Albany,” says the Lord of hosts. “They have rebelliously chosen to go off into the darkness where one cannot see. And to maintain control, [they] have released into New York another that shall make itself plain shortly.

“However,” says the Lord, “there is a bear trap, and it shall catch their foot and bring them down from their lofty position. For they have not learned from the fall of the former and shall become even more shameful for what they have done. And this shall trigger a vein in the spirit that runs to California,” says the Lord, “events in the political arena in tandem. Watch and see,” says the Lord of hosts, “for much will flip…” (To read the full Aug. 2, 2022, word, click here.)

In a dream the other night, I was sitting with the Lord. In front of me, I could see a horizon, except there was this thick layer of fog in front of me that was stopping me from being able to see ahead.

The Lord said to me, “It is now time for the scales to be removed from your eyes and from your heart and from your soul. And this is an hour that I am clearing out every bit of debris and every blockage and every hindrance to you seeing clearly the road ahead that I have for you.”

He said, “This is an hour that I’m giving you fresh vision. This is an hour that I’m giving you eyes to see the future that I have planned for you; the future that the enemy has tried to stop you from seeing; the future that the enemy has wanted you disconnected from so that you would lose hope and you would crumble on the battlefield that you were in—so that you would give up in the middle of what looks like a wilderness, but it’s only moments and steps away from fruitfulness and advancing.

Over the past couple months, much has been taking place in the nations and in the realm of the Spirit. The Lord told me in August the nations would reach a boiling point. We have been at a crucial tipping point.

A tipping point is a point at which a very significant change occurs; a decisive moment. Rapid change and realignments are being accelerated in the nations and across the board. We are in a time where we’ll continue to see a changing of guard in the nations, the political realm and in the body of Christ.

Praying and decreeing the Word of the Lord is our greatest weapon in this time. Our greatest place of power and influence starts on our knees. James 5:16, NKJV reads, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Prayer is effective when we engage in it because it carries and releases the power of God. “Avail” means to have sufficient power, force, efficacy for the object ().

We live in a time of seismic, social upheaval, and the shaking has triggered a trend known as “deconstruction” among Christians, especially in Western countries. You may not have heard the term, but it’s everywhere. People are questioning everything—including the church, spiritual leaders, traditional morality and the core doctrines of Christian faith.

Deconstruction made headlines last year when Kevin Max, a member of the popular Christian band DC Talk, announced that he was now an “ex-evangelical.” Noting that he was also “pro-LGBTQIA,” Max said he had been deconstructing his faith “for decades.”

Bart Campolo, son of famous evangelical author Tony Campolo, announced in 2011 that he had become an atheist and secular humanist. He described his journey this way: “I passed through every stage of heresy. It starts with sovereignty going, then biblical authority goes, then I’m a universalist, now I’m marrying gay people. Pretty soon I don’t actually believe Jesus actually rose from the dead in a bodily way.”

As I stopped to get gas recently, I reached for the pump and noticed a winged bug I hadn’t recalled seeing before. It didn’t move from the pump even as I moved the handle.

It got my attention, and I wondered what it was. Immediately the word “mayfly” popped into my head. I wasn’t sure what a mayfly was—though the name sounded familiar—so I did a quick image search. Sure enough, the bug was a mayfly. I felt like the Lord was trying to say something, so I began to read about these tiny creatures. Here’s what I learned.

The presence of mayflies often indicates water that is oxygenated and pure. They hatch in such striking numbers in some areas that they can show up on weather radars and draw quite the tourist crowd. They are notorious for having a short lifespan, it was even compared in one instance to having the lifespan of a daily newspaper. Mayflies—despite their name—can hatch in a number of both spring and summer months.

On Monday, Aug. 22, in the wee hours of the night, I had a disturbing prophetic dream. In this dream, I witnessed the discharge of a hypersonic missile.

In the dream, I stood by as I watched a hypersonic nuclear missile being discharged. I saw the launch of World War III. I felt horrified and helpless to do anything about it.

As the missile emerged from its canister, my dream came to an abrupt end.

During the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England on July 28, a giant mechanical bull with glowing red eyes was rolled out into the center of Alexander Stadium. The bull was approximately 10 meters high, and it took more than five months to build. It had been given the nickname “Raging Bull,” and it absolutely dwarfed all of the human participants that were involved in the performance.

The “hero” of the opening ceremony, a character known as Stella, calmed the creature down and then all of the human performers gathered around the giant bull and literally began to bow down and worship it. I have seen a lot of really weird things in recent years, but I have never seen anything quite like this.

Recently while in worship, I was talking to the Lord when this prophetic flow began to come forth. I took out my phone and pressed record. This is the transcription of that word I received:

“God, I see the firebrands rising up. God, I see the firebrands rising up. I see the hot coals being released. I see the hot coals being released. What am I seeing, Lord? What is it that You would say? What is it that You would say to this generation?”

“Come out and be separated! Come out and be separated!” says the Lord. “Come out and be separated!” says the Lord. “For I’m removing the Baals from the lips of this generation,” says the Lord. “I am, in this hour, putting fresh, hot coals on the tongues of My people that have been afraid to speak, that have been muzzled, that have felt the spirit of Python around their necks, choking them into submission and silence.

This past weekend I preached at The Roads Church, a charismatic congregation located in the tiny town of Norris City, Illinois. Located amid cornfields, the population is only 1,325, but almost that many people visit the church on weekends. They come from all over southern Illinois and Indiana, some driving an hour because the Holy Spirit is doing miracles there.

It’s thrilling to see the spiritual hunger of the people in Norris City. Every morning members of the church gather to pray for God’s presence to visit their region, and Pastor Chad Everett and his team have planted two satellite congregations in Mount Carmel (45 miles away) and Carlinville (155 miles away) because people in those towns want more of the Holy Spirit.

On Sunday, I preached from 1 Kings 18, when Elijah called down fire from heaven and prayed for an end to a three-year drought. I reminded everyone that when things grow spiritually dark, as they did during the reign of Ahab and Jezebel, God is willing to bring a holy interruption. The Lord didn’t allow the prophets of Baal to defeat Israel; He sent a visible demonstration of His power that caused everyone to fall on their faces and say, “The Lord, He is God” (1 Kings 18:39.)

The Lord first began speaking to me about the release of seven abilities for a new agility early this year. By springtime, I had four of the seven items and, although I kept praying to receive the rest, I didn’t hear any more.

Then several weeks ago the Lord directed me to read the book of Acts, and to pay special attention to chapter 3. As I began to do this the Holy Spirit impressed on me that the last of the seven items would be revealed in the book of Acts.

Friends, I truly believe the release of these seven abilities has been reserved for such a time as this, and those who read this with an open heart will receive an impartation of these even now today.

While the abortion debate continues to rage on social media, television and in the streets, there’s a phrase none of us seem to be able to avoid: “My body, my choice.”

As a Christian, I’ve become fascinated by this phrase and have wondered, is my body actually my body according to God’s Word?

The basis of the “my body, my choice” argument is that a person has complete sovereignty over his or her body. Yet, as I’ve examined this notion through a biblical lens, I find several truths in God’s Word which contradict this way of thinking. We don’t have as much autonomy over our bodies as we might wish to believe.

God’s glory is breaking through! The Scripture says, “For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and His glory will be seen upon you,” (Isaiah 60:2, ESV).

I recently had a conversation with Ashley Gronholm, whom God is using in healing, miracles, signs and wonders. She shared with me how God gave her profound prophetic insight of what is coming to the world, despite the darkness we read about in the headlines every day.

Gronholm said, “One time I had a dream and I saw Jesus. I heard His voice and He said, ‘Come!’ I’ve learned that hearing the voice of God is like tuning a radio. The more time you spend in the Word, the more time you spend in prayer, you are tuning in like a radio to hear God’s voice.”

This pandemic season hasn’t been easy—but pastors have suffered in unique ways. Statistics show that between 20-30% of churchgoers stopped attending in 2020, and the bulk of those people have not returned. In many cases, they never said goodbye.

Many of my best friends are pastors, and they have told me many sad accounts of how their church members left—both before and during the pandemic. I took a random poll this week to hear how exiting members behaved when they went out the back door:

Pastor “Bob”: “One of my members left the church, and then he told me it was because the air conditioning in the church was too cold.”

Earlier this month on a Sunday, my friend picked me up for church, which gave me the ability to finish getting ready in the car. By getting ready I mean applying my makeup, as it’s almost always the last step for me and done on the go.

This day, I couldn’t find my concealer; it should have been in either my makeup bag or purse, though after searching with no avail it appeared to be misplaced or lost. For those of you who are not familiar with concealer and what it is used for, it is a light color cosmetic that is applied to the face that typically blends in with the skin to “conceal.”

My concealer is specifically used to brighten the under the eye area, though it can be used for blemishes, red areas or to blur imperfections. For me, if I choose to wear makeup it is a step in my routine that I don’t like to leave out as it gives a bright and even-tone look, however there was no substitute so I shrugged it off and went about my day.

One day, I was in worship when the word of the Lord came to me: “In the next six months, you’re gonna wake up settled in the land that I promised to give you long ago. You will wake up and realize that all the battles that you’ve been through, the fires that you’ve walked through and all the wildernesses that you survived are no longer ahead of you, or around you, but behind you. You’ll breathe deep and see no sign of the pain or trauma that have been following you around for years.

“The hope deferred that has been like poison, sitting in the very recesses of your soul, is already beginning to evaporate from your life, never to be seen of again.”

He Is Establishing You!

Bible teacher, missionary and author Joy Dawson, a respected leader in the Youth With A Mission community, died early Thursday morning at 96 of natural causes.

Dawson’s Bible teaching ministry and missionary journeys with YWAM took her to 55 nations on six continents worldwide. She also taught extensively on television, radio and is the author of several books. Her penetrating teachings are based on the character and the ways of God.

Dawson’s oldest son, John, spoke lovingly of his mother and expressed a deep gratitude to the many thousands of people who are contacting the family at this time, recounting stories of the impact of Joy’s life and ministry.

Going to the salon is always an interesting experience. First, you are always privy to seeing people at their less-than best. After all, everyone there is expecting to leave looking better, right?

There are also the tidbits of conversations you hear from other chairs. The random, and often sad, renditions of life’s greatest and worst events. I imagine that there is some level of similarity in barbershops as well.

Recently, I sat in the chair of my favorite stylist. It was an early Monday morning appointment, and strangely, the salon was empty. It was just me and my stylist. It didn’t take but a few minutes in her chair for me to realize that something was off. At first, I thought she was angry with me. Then, I thought she might just be angry at my hair. But then I realized, it was a much deeper issue, and she was struggling.

The worldwide suffocation of evil has been accelerated to the next level. Four great and mighty angels are wrapping their arms around the planet and the ‘squeeze’ is on. Yes, black is oozing everywhere, but it is exposed black. Black gunk that can’t hide anymore. Disempowered black. Black goo with nowhere to hide.

Watch for the 5.5 Earthquakes

Watch the 5.5 earthquakes coming up, as they will be a ‘tell’ of the squeeze taking place. Evil is beginning to lose its breath. A great suffocation of evil is accelerating.

A friend of mine recently told me that a good friend of hers started withdrawing from her, even though they were close and had done ministry together. When she finally asked this friend why she had pulled away, the woman admitted that a “prophet” in her church had given her a dire warning that was supposedly from God. The prophet advised the woman to stay away from her friend because “she is trying to steal your spiritual mantle.”

What? I can’t even count all the reasons this isn’t a true prophecy. For one thing, no one can “steal” your spiritual gifts or callings. Number two, this “prophet” had no personal knowledge of the person she was accusing; she was, instead, using suspicion and fear to manipulate and control. But because she wasn’t confronted about her alleged “word from God,” she will continue to sow discord among God’s people while appearing to be super spiritual.

I love the gift of prophecy, and the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 14:1 that we should desire to use it. I love to see people strengthened and encouraged by a personal word from God. But spiritual gifts, much like guns, can be misused—and when prophecy is misfired it always hurts people. That’s why we need more teaching and training on the healthy use of prophecy.

As I waited upon the Lord, I heard His voice so closely. He began to minister to my heart and show me things to come.

We are entering into a moment of inspection from the Lord. Man looks at the outward, but the Lord looks at the heart. First Samuel 16:7 says this, “…The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Man looks at the outward display of the leaves, but we are now entering an inspection time of the root.

While many will cast their attention upon numbers, popularity, promotional materials, videos, photos, one-liners and a plethora of other prestigious recognitions, the Lord is focused on the oil of the secret place. I heard the Lord clearly speak that the time for gathering oil before His return is coming to its close.

Sometimes the apostle Paul named names when calling out false teachers, and other times he didn’t. Today the Lord has instructed me to name names.

I’m calling out Creflo Dollar. He has been spiritually off for a long time.

The first red flag to his departure from truth is his teaching on sloppy grace (vs biblical grace). This started years ago and has now become a major teaching theme in his ministry.

Recently, this word of the Lord came to me: “I am awakening My people to be redeemers of time.”

“[F]or the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, ‘Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.’ So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days” (Eph. 5:14-16).

How are we to redeem the time in these last days?

As I sought the Lord, He gave me a clear word for His marketplace prophets who have been positioned in the systems of this world. This word is for the prophets called to the marketplace that felt like they were lost in the wilderness and wondered if they had missed God.

Today, I assure you that you haven’t missed God. Rather, you’re exactly in line with His will in the earth. The Lord showed me a vision of His marketplace prophet being hidden away in a bathhouse for a season of transformation, like Esther went through.

The prophet was led into a bathhouse that was filled with all kinds of luxury goods and different cleansing stations. As God led His prophet to each station, He stripped them of old clothes, jewelry and even of old wounds. With each stripping, He placed on them new clothes, adornments and essential oils that seemed to transform the very nature of the prophet.
