The devil has made some pretty bold moves lately and accomplished things faster than many believers might have thought. But now, prophet Cindy Jacobs says, it’s God’s turn in 2022.

During the Word of the Lord Conference 2022 in December, Jacobs and others received a word from the Lord that in 2022, God is getting ready to roar with His mighty power. Witness Isaiah 64:1-2:

“Oh, that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence. As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!”

“The Holy Spirit spoke to me, and spoke to me and the group, and said, ‘I am about to make the nations tremble at my presence,'” Jacobs told Sid Roth on a recent episode of “It’s Supernatural.” “I am going to roar out of Zion.

“This is what the Lord said to us. Satan has done his shaking, but now I’m going to do My shaking. In 2022, God is going to make His name famous. People have looked at God like it’s god with a little “g.” But He is getting ready to roar. He is getting ready to manifest His miracles, His power, His glory.

“The Lord said I am going to start showing up in so many places like brush fires being fed all over the world. Satan can’t try to stomp it out fast enough. If he gets one group here, then another group is going to rise up. God is getting ready to display His glory. He’s going to get tough.”

We are living in a time of increasing polarization. With the growing dichotomy of good and evil, we must understand God’s covenant in the midst of conflict. The Lord has been speaking to me about “lines in the sand” and how we will advance this spring when the warfare will be intense.

Finding Your Place of Faith

This is a time where the Lord is calling us to come up! We must not only see from a higher place, but pray from our position of authority. In my book, A Time to Triumph, I wrote a section on how to intercede as war issues intensify. Allow this excerpt to help you find your place of faith!

In the season ahead, our prayer lives will become more authoritative. What will happen once you pray is that Holy Spirit will bring down certain judgments and start dealing with injustices. People entwined in their emotions with groups and situations that the Holy Spirit is addressing will either find a way of escape from the situation or be dealt with along with the corporate group. Do not be over-merciful and back down. Prayer works by faith, and faith works by love. You will then have to let God deal with the situation.

Upheavals and overturnings are part of the season ahead. You will simply have to say with confidence, Lord, You sent me there to pray. I did. I will trust that You will work all this together for good, in both the tares and the wheat, and bring forth the harvest.

Stay hidden in your abiding place, but also know when to come out. Know when to speak and when to be quiet. Prophesy! You war with your prophetic word.

This is a prophecy for you to use in warring and watching; pray, decree and use this like a sword:

Watch carefully. Go where I send you. Do not go in your own strength, for it is I who am sending you forth. I am mobilizing you. I am giving you the strength to rise up. Go where I send you. Do not be frightened by what you hear. Do not back up just because giants seem near. Stand firm, for I am going before you. Just go with Me and say, “I have been sent to receive this blessing.”

I can part what is unpartable. I can cause that which would not let go to now come apart so you can pass through. This is a time of showing. I plan on showing you what you are looking for. Do not back up, for the show is ready to begin! The show is ready to begin! Therefore, find your seat in Me and get ready to watch the manifestation that you have been asking Me about.

Your seat and your position have already been prepared for you. Come up! Through your worship, rise up and be seated with Me. Together we will decree into your atmosphere and change your condition. Come up, be seated and watch that area around you in the earth realm be filled with My presence. Come into a new place with Me. Join Me in a new way. I have blessings of which you know not that I long to pour out over you.

I have been looking for a group. I have been looking for the ones to anoint, now. There is an anointing that I am bringing down from heaven so you can stand as one and break through the barrier that the enemy has erected. I am coming in now!

I am coming into your life in new ways. I am breaking that which has been around you. I am causing you to feel My presence in new ways. I am causing you to be favored in new ways. I am breaking through the blood barrier in your brain. You thought that knowledge could get through, but I have got to break that blood barrier where the iniquitous flow from prior generations continues to have the right to operate. I will cause you to come alive and see what I would see.

I am breaking through a blood barrier! I am breaking through a blood barrier! What has been filed and cataloged is now coming alive. I am going to reverse some Alzheimer’s. I am going to reverse some dementia. I am changing some things. I am going to reverse stuttering. I am going to reverse dyslexia. I am breaking through the blood barrier in your brain. My presence can penetrate.

I will reveal My glory. I am coming to reveal so I can break open the seal that has closed up what you have been looking for. I am neutralizing your chromosomes from iniquitous patterns. Let My glory penetrate! Let My glory penetrate! I am breaking your insecurity barrier. I am uncovering the treasure that you have been. I am uprooting what has been buried deep and causing you to flower and blossom forth in a new way. Let Me uproot! Let Me uproot! {eoa}

Chris Reed, who recently took over the mantle of leadership from Rick Joyner at MorningStar Ministries, revealed in a recent service many startling visions that the Lord has shown him for the year 2022 and beyond. One of the more shocking revelations from the Lord was that President Joe Biden would not finish his first term in office. Watch the video here.

“I think it will be due to health issues,” Reed says. “I had a vision where I saw [Vice President] Kamala Harris in the background in the White House, and I saw Biden slumped over in his chair while she emerged from the shadows from behind him. I don’t know if this is literally her becoming president and him stepping down or if it is a situation where she will act as president. Here is what the Lord did show me: Concerning her desire to further and further implement socialism, the grace of God is going to be released this year to frustrate those desires.”

But that wasn’t the only thing God showed Reed in the political arena. Reed says the Lord showed him Donald Trump will reenter the picture after the midterm elections.

“Donald Trump will once again announce that he’s running for president,” Reed says. “He’s waiting. I know he has already started this social media thing, but I actually think he’s going to create some on-demand video or television channel. He will announce on that platform that he’s running for president again.”

And look for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to emerge as a rising political influencer.

“I really want you to pray for Gov. Ron DeSantis,” Reed says. “I know that he’s popular right now, but I think that God has really marked his life to be a younger version of an America-first, freedom-loving leader; a younger political leader that I think that God is anointing. We will see him continue to emerge along with a Black woman that will be greatly anointed by God in the earth to rise up in the next year or two. You’re going to see her voice gain prominence.”

Outside the political realm, Reed says COVID-19 will not disappear, but it will begin to fizzle. But then another health issue will arise.

“I saw another worldwide virus break out—some kind of flu, maybe swine flu,” Reed says. “I can’t say for sure, but I saw these in the form of headlines. So, I’m asking you to pray into that. I hope that this turns out to not be the case, but we need to be prepared because I think COVID was only a warmup for the things that are ahead. I’m not trying to be negative; I’m just telling you a reality.”

Israel will also be in the headlines, Reed says. “There will be some kind of supernatural happening that will come out of Israel, I think it’s out of Jerusalem, that will really be a testimony to the Christian faith. Once this is released there will be a further advancement of Iranian pressure as far as their desire to develop uranium and nuclear weapons, and ultimately Israel will attack in retaliation on one of their holy days. The Lord will preserve them through these things.”

Below is the transcript of the prophetic message, revealing many more stunning visions God gave Chris Reed:

I believe after the spring, COVID will not disappear, but we will begin to finally see this thing start to fizzle down. I saw another worldwide virus break out—some kind of flu, maybe swine flu. I can’t say for sure, but I saw these in the form of headlines. So, I’m asking you to pray into that. I hope that this turns out to not be the case, but we need to be prepared because I think COVID was only a warmup for the things that are ahead. I’m not trying to be negative; I’m just telling you a reality.

I saw this, too. Joe Biden will not finish his first term. I think it will be due to health issues. I had a vision where I saw Kamala Harris in the background in the White House, and I saw Biden slumped over in his chair while she emerged from the shadows from behind him. I don’t know if this is literally her becoming president and him stepping down or if it is a situation where she will act as president. Here is what the Lord did show me: Concerning her desire to further and further implement socialism, the grace of God is going to be released this year to frustrate those desires.

I also saw a rise of women in political leadership in nations around the world. You will see a woman emerge in British politics this year who will replace a current politician, and she will be very much like Margaret Thatcher.

Also, I’m asking you to pray against another public mass shooting that the Lord showed me by vision that I believe will be a public profile, a known person that could be killed in this public mass shooting. Join me in prayer that if we can’t stop it, to minimize the damage.

China will continue because they’re not being kept in check with the current administration. It will begin to emerge as a stronger superpower and it will, for a season, enlarge its dominance and borders. It has been competing economically and technologically with the United States for years. We will see that it will come against and try to use force against Taiwan, but I don’t believe it will be successful. For years, China has tried to keep Taiwan out of the U.N. I believe the Lord is going to stop any attempt you will begin to see in the South China Sea, as far as their aggression.

We’re going to continue to see a competition between Russia and China in the space race. I clearly saw this. When the United Kingdom broke off, Brexit, they aren’t going to be the last ones. I saw a further fracturing of the European Union. There will be ultimate fracture where there will be an Eastern Europe, an Eastern Europe and a Western Europe. Keep your eyes on Poland.

I saw a great move of God that will begin in the nation of Brazil. The sign of it will be that the nation of Brazil will accomplish a significant sports achievement victory. When we see that happen, there is going to be a real surge of Holy Spirit activity in that nation. It will be a unique, national, significant championship sports achievement for the nation.

Donald Trump will once again announce that he’s running for president. He’s waiting. I know he has already started this social media thing, but I actually think he’s going to create some on-demand video or television channel. He will announce on that platform that he’s running for president again. It will happen sometime after the midterms.

We are also going to see a powerful African American woman rise in unity with a strong conservative voice. I think it’s Candace Owens, but I think it is a significant African American woman who will rise as a conservative and achieve a lot for the nation and help with the advancement of conservatism and Judeo-Christian values.

We’re going to see a lot of bizarre, strange religious groups rise up in the next year to two years because some people are trying to fill some void with answers and emptiness in their lives. You’ll hear about it. When you hear about these fringe groups and cults and such, remember the Lord showed this to me.

Also, there will also be some kind of supernatural happening that will come out of Israel, I think it’s out of Jerusalem, that will really be a testimony to the Christian faith. Once this is released, discovered, there will be a further advancement of Iranian pressure as far as their desire to develop uranium and nuclear weapons, and ultimately Israel will attack in retaliation on one of their holy days. The Lord will preserve them through these things.

I saw something else of greatness. I can’t say that it’s going to be at the top of the ticket, but I really want you to pray for Gov. Ron DeSantis. I know that he’s popular right now, but I think that God has really marked his life to be a younger version of an America-first, freedom-loving leader; a younger political leader that I think that God is anointing. We will see him continue to emerge along with a Black woman that will be greatly anointed by God in the earth to rise up in the next year or two. You’re going to see her voice gain prominence.

Ultimately, be assured that no matter what we face with economic struggle, the rise of inflation, God is going to preserve His people and help us through this. We will come out stronger than when we went into this time of difficulty. {eoa}

What makes a person successful in spiritual warfare? Some of the qualifications include:

• Endurance (2 Tim. 2:3)—the ability to endure and withstand hardship, adversity, or stress. We are to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
• Hatred (Ps. 139:22)—extreme dislike or antipathy, loathing. In spiritual warfare, we must have a hatred of evil and evil spirits.
• Knowledge (2 Cor. 2:11)—we are not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices.
• Persistence (Ps. 18:37)—the ability to go on resolutely or stubbornly in spite of oppression. We must be persistent in dealing with the enemy.
• Separation (2 Tim. 2:4)—to get or keep apart. No man who entangles himself with the affairs of this life will be successful in spiritual warfare.
• Humility—freedom from pride, arrogance, and self-reliance. We must depend wholly on God, not on our own knowledge or strength.
• Submission—being compliant to authority. We must submit to God and the proper biblical authority in our lives, such as godly leaders who watch out for our souls.

God uses ordinary people to accomplish His purposes. Our ability comes through grace. Every believer is seated in heavenly places in Christ (Eph. 2:6). Your position in Christ is high above all principalities and powers. You must see who you are in Christ. You can do all things through Him.

It is important to know your authority and engage the enemy in faith. There is no need to fear. Demons are subject to the authority of the believer. Jesus gave us power to tread on serpents and scorpions and promised that nothing will by any means harm us (Luke 10:19).

Joshua was told to engage the enemy (Deut. 2:24). You will see great victories through engagement. To engage means to bring troops into conflict. There are some believers who fear engagement. They are afraid of backlash. Jesus sent His disciples out to engage the enemy. They were told to heal the sick and cast out devils.

The Importance of Power and Authority

Two important revelations every believer needs are an understanding of power and an understanding of authority. Power is the Greek word dunamis. Authority is the Greek word exousia. Authority is the legal right to use power. We have been given authority to use the power supplied by the Holy Spirit.

Authority and power must be used. You use them by faith, not by feeling. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. It is important for believers to attend churches that teach on power and authority. It is important to read and study these subjects. Revelation in these areas will give confidence to pray against the enemy.

We have been given the legal right to use the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is above every name. Authority in the name of Jesus is recognized by the spirit realm. We cast out demons in that name. We bind the works of darkness in that name. We teach and preach in that name.

We receive power through the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). God is able to do exceeding abundantly according to the power that operates in us (Eph. 3:20). Jesus cast out demons through the power of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 12:28). We combine the power of the Holy Spirit with the authority of the name of Jesus to rout the enemy. We do not engage the enemy in our own power and authority. We engage the enemy through the power of the Holy Spirit and in the authority of the name of Jesus.

Demons recognize power and authority. They recognize believers who operate in power and authority. The more you exercise power and authority, the more you will develop in these areas. It is important to start.

It is also important to make sure your sins are forgiven when engaging the enemy. If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Do not engage the enemy with unconfessed sin in your life. There is power in the blood of Jesus. His blood cleanses us from all sin. Give no place to the devil. You must operate in righteousness.

We are made righteous through faith. We are the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21). Many believers suffer from feelings of inferiority and low self-esteem because they do not understand righteousness. Righteousness gives us confidence. Righteousness gives us boldness. Righteousness is the scepter of the kingdom (Heb. 1:8). The righteous are as bold as a lion (Prov. 28:1).

God covers our heads in the day of battle (Ps. 140:7). A covering is protection. Covering is based on subjection to God, His Word, and the Holy Spirit. Humility and submission are important characteristics of believers who engage in spiritual warfare. We must be bold when we pray, but we must also acknowledge that ultimately, the battle is the Lord’s. {eoa}

Glory of Zion International Ministries President Chuck Pierce recently released this prophetic word:

“I hear the Lord saying, ‘Anticipate recovery and breakthrough. We need to allow our emotions to go through the recovery and not rush. So, we see the breakthrough blessings that are on the horizon for each one of us. We’re moving from winter dormancy toward the budding strength of spring.

“We are not rushing the Lord’s healing work. We are not moving past what He’s depositing in each of our hearts, our minds, our bodies, our relationships. He is preparing us for a breaking forth. He’s preparing us for a budding, a blossoming. Let His water go deep in you. Allow Holy Spirit liberty to touch, to saturate, to awaken.'” {eoa}

At the beginning of every year, Elizabeth Tiam Fook of International Young Prophets hosts a number of prophets on social media to share what God is saying for the year. For “What is God Saying for 2022,” Tiam Fook hosted Bishop Bill Hamon, Patricia King, Barbara Yoder, Kim Owens, Jamie Galloway and Chazdon Strickland.

Opening the prophetic livestream, the first guest, Kim Owens, said, “The Lord illuminated to me the phrase, ‘Great authority comes to the prepared ones.’ Esther went into great preparation and then the authority was handed to her. The story of Esther has come alive for me especially as we moved into 2022, for such as this. And 22 means ‘governmental authority birthed through prayer.'”

Kim continued, saying, “Grace is coming for the prepared ones as they walk into a year of immense harvest and revival resulting in sustained transformation and reformation. But we cannot skip the preparation process, which is perpetual.”

Bishop Bill Hamon, known as the father of the modern prophetic movement, said, “In October, God told me: ‘Tell my people, that in the next six months I am coming to settle accounts.’ The master in Matthew 25 gave golden coins according to the ability he knew the servants could manage. The master later came to settle accounts. And the servant that misused the golden coins, the master said, ‘Take the money from this man and give it to the one with 10,000 gold coins. For the man who used it well will be given more. The one who was unfaithful will be cast out.'”

Bishop Hamon then stated, “The Lord said, ‘I am going to settle accounts to see if people are using what I have given them. Because after April I am sending angels on assignment to release anointings and empowerment to those who have proved to use what they have. Even if they are in difficult situations, I am going to give them a glory anointing and they are going to go forth to do exploits to glorify My name. I am raising men and women to demonstrate My glory and power. Those who have proven themselves will receive mantles with their special assignments and commissions.'”

Patricia King stated, “Stepping into the new era beginning at Rosh Hoshanna in 2019 was a preparation for war. We are to live differently when we are at war than we do during a time of peace. During war we must be more diligent, vigilant and more focused and live more sacrificially.

She further said, “On December 30, 2021, the Holy Spirit woke me up with a nearly audible word. He said, ‘When kings go to war!’ It is important for believers to be on the offensive, maintain an aggressive posture to take territory for the Lord and occupy it. We are to move forward and possess and occupy land. We need to be postured with a victory mindset to move forward. This is not going to be an easy year, as we have already seen an unleashing of so much spiritual warfare within the church but also from the world coming against the values the church holds on to. The devil would love to come in and tear us apart, but we must maintain an assertive and aggressive posture on the offense and not the defense. In Christ we must remember is the victory. 2022 is going to be a year where there are battles to fight.”

This article is part 1 of 2 and had to paraphrase the prophetic words. For the full prophetic insight, I encourage you to check out the powerful broadcast to hear what the prophets are saying for 2022 on International Young Prophets YouTube. {eoa}

“In the beginning,” God created mankind as binary, “sexual beings”—male and female He created them.” They were the final and highest order of His creation and were to propagate and rule over “every living thing that moves on the earth” (Gen. 1:1, 26-28).

God, whose trinitarian essence is said to be “Spirit,” said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness” (1:26, NASB). We understand that God is a Spirit-being (John 4:24, MEV) Who also has other essences of His divine personality, shown in His intellect, emotion and will.

We who are physical human beings were made “in the image of God” and thereby have the highest order of created intellect, emotion and will so that an invisible God could reveal what He is like. We are able to worship Him “in spirit and truth” and relate to Him with these common capacities of intellect, emotion and will.

His divine purpose for our creation is that we glorify Him forever. Subject to the world, flesh and the devil since the Fall (Gen. 3), our divine-like capacities must be redeemed and restored to our original purpose. We must “escape from sexual immorality” … and “glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Cor. 6:17-20).

A Biblical Understanding of Sexual Ethics

Ethics deal with “moral principles that govern a person’s behavior or the conduct of an activity.” They are pre-determined boundaries of what is acceptable behavior for ourselves and others. The Bible helps us establish these by certain commands, principles and examples. We must apply these to ourselves and live out our own ethical convictions (Rom. 12), proving “what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

First Corinthians 6:9-11 says,

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

The “kingdom of God,” mentioned twice in Paul’s brief passage above, is a reference to the “world to come,” where God will rule and King Jesus Christ will reign from a Holy City, coming down out of heaven from God. In this “New Heaven and New Earth,” only the righteous will live in that city. The unrighteous, including “the sexually immoral,” will be judged and consigned to the “lake of fire” forever (Rev. 21:3-8).

Contemporary Ideologies and Practices

America’s current administration has aggressively appointed hundreds of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals to serve as bureaucrats and in key positions in the federal government. One vocal American pastor warns of these “woke” ethics, describing them as “the evil power and destructive influence of the homosexual and transgender practice.”

Canada is even further ahead in legalizing sexual perversions. On November 29, 2021, the Canadian House of Commons unanimously passed Bill C-4, amending their code to prohibit any public challenge to or correction of an unbiblical ideology of sexual identity. The bill seems to criminalize what some call “conversion therapy,” sharing biblical counsel regarding “gender identity” and “fluidity.” The new Canadian law appears to make it illegal to preach, teach or counsel regarding God’s design for marriage and sexuality!

Since this law just took effect on January 7, 2022, faithful Canadian pastors are committing to preach on these issues in the weeks and months ahead, calling for a biblical understanding of sexual sin, specifically concerning “the sexually … effeminate… [and] homosexuals,” the eternal judgment that will fall on those who practice all forms of sexual immorality and the grace of God, which offers forgiveness and transformation to those who repent and turn away from all sinful practices, with the help of the Holy Spirit.

We must acknowledge that all sin is an affront to our Creator-God, and all sinners need to repent and be changed. But this biblical list speaks specifically of the spectrum of the “sexually immoral” who will not “inherit the kingdom of God.” U.S. pastors should stand with their Canadian brothers and sisters and, together, love sinners enough to proclaim these biblical truths at this critical juncture!

Escape the Wrath to Come

In Jack Hayford’s book, Fatal Attractions, he explains why sexual violation or sins are worse than others—not because they are harder for God to forgive but because they are more damaging, hurting others as well as hindering one’s own growth as a person and as a follower of Jesus Christ. The emotional and psychological brokenness and spiritual harm generated by sexual violations may not only negatively affect couples but their children and grandchildren—and even the generations following them.

“Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be seared?” (Prov. 6:27-28)

Gospel ministers and teachers are to preach the truth, confront sin and call all men to repentance and obedience to the gospel—the good news that achieves soul conversion and saves sinners from eternal wrath (2 Tim. 2:24–26). Yet, many spiritual leaders tend to avoid this responsibility.

God will hold us all accountable to practice our religious beliefs and convictions. We must reject sexual immorality, resist secular pressures and endure cultural persecution in the days ahead so that we can escape God’s judgment and wrath to come (Heb. 13:4; Matt. 3:7; Rev. 6:16-17). {eoa}

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our ‘God is a consuming fire'” (Heb. 12:28-29, NIV).

A Second Wave

Over the last couple of years, there has been a sifting and refining that has taken place in the church. The hidden places were uncovered and God, through His mercy, extended an invitation to repent. I believe that in 2022, there will now be a second wave of refining fire sweeping across the church. This fire will not only go deeper in exposing the roots of sin in order to heal and re-establish healthy foundations, but it will call us all to a higher level of consecration and devotion to Jesus in our everyday lives so that we can steward the increasing glory God wants to pour out.

The first wave of refining took out many who started their journey strong but got distracted or sidelined by fame, media, hidden sins, undealt with brokenness or who were not deeply rooted in Jesus. There is now another refining coming that will purify at an even deeper level. The fire I am referring to is the fire of God’s presence and holiness.

The Lord, in His mercy, is sending this second wave to prepare us to learn how to live in the fire, refined and consecrated, so that we can receive all that He has for us. This invitation to live in the fire is not as much a turning from sin, but it’s a call to those who are already walking in obedience to become rooted even deeper in His presence to steward the incoming glory. It’s an invitation to have greater union with God Himself.

Living in the Fire

When we learn to live in this fire rather than avoid it, when the fire does come—sometimes through increasing favor and other times through trials or persecution—we will already be purified to the core of our being so it won’t take us out. When we regularly welcome the fire of God to examine our motives and purify our hearts, to purge us of anything that would hinder honoring His holiness (Ps. 139:23-24), we will be immovable to the swirl and ever-changing atmospheres around us. We will be established in Him as our Source and anchored in the Word of God, which is His eternal truth.

In this new year, inspired by our burning love and devotion to Jesus and led by the Holy Spirit, may we seek to honor God by walking in purity at a deeper level. There is a seriousness about His holiness that must be respected. We must position ourselves to stand under the incoming greater glory so that we are not crushed by it. What we will face in the future demands a deeper level of consecration now so that when persecution knocks at our door, we can withstand the increasing shaking.

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty…’The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty” (Hag. 2:6-9).

Take Your Place

I know this is a heavier word than I have released before and more of a warning; a calling to walk on the highway of holiness and to raise the plumb line but times are changing. I just released a book called Fasting for Fire and am preparing for our online School of Revival on the theme of martyrdom this spring.

We must get ready. This is no time to flirt with the things of the world. We must set our faces like flint before the King of kings. We must come off the sidelines and step into the front lines if we are not already standing here.

I pray the Holy Spirit uses this word to both apprehend and inspire you to throw off everything that hinders and run the race destined for you, fixing your eyes on Jesus, the glorious and holy one who paid a price for loving you.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Heb. 12:1-2).

Happy New Year! May we run into the fire of His love and holiness together, and may we live our lives in such a way to honor the great price He paid (Rom. 12:1). {eoa}

Introduction: Check out this powerful prophecy by Pastor Hank Kunneman, spoken on Dec. 31, 2021, during the New Year’s Eve service at Lord of Hosts Church, regarding removals, notable deaths, upheavals and physical shakings in America and the nations of the earth! It has been prophetically declared that the people of God must pay attention to the first six months of 2022 as God moves among the governments of the land and will measure how they have ruled. This will also be a time where God is looking to see how much His people will pray, unite and decree His goodness in order for Him to release an outpouring of blessing in this season of harvest.

Earth Shakes, Men Shake and Governments Shake

Begin to move your feet because as you move your feet, you’re moving in congruency with the order of heaven and God’s feet, which are moving at this time along with the hosts.

God says, “Can you move with Me? Can your feet become part of My feet as the body of Christ? Because My feet shall firmly be planted upon the earth’s soil and, therefore, it shall shake. Watch the earth shake,” says the Lord.

“But it shall not just be the earth that shakes, but men shall shake, governments shall shake and those who know that they have done wrong shall shake,” God says. “For this purpose, hell is shaking because they hear something that many, because of the spirit of fear, keep them from hearing; it is the hearing and the moving of My feet.

God Is Inspecting His People—Dividing Sheep and Goats

“For I’m moving in this time—up and down and throughout the earth—and I am inspecting My people. I am walking among the nations at this time. I am dividing among sheep and goats those who will align with Me and those who will refuse. But as I walk among the earth, remember the earth is the Lord’s—it’s Mine—and the fullness thereof. Therefore, I shall fully come and work among the nations, for this is the time.

The Earth Shall Shake in Unusual Places

“Men have stood, they have mocked, they have laughed, they have ridiculed, criticized and they have given up, saying, ‘When, when, when?’ God says, “Do you understand that now, this year, I have declared [it] shall be a year [where] it shall begin—the thrusting of an increase of intensity of My plan and My agenda? Therefore, the earth shall respond, and it shall shake violently in places, and in very unusual places shall the soil of the lands shake.

Pay Attention to the Ice

“Pay attention to the ice, for where there shall be great freezing, I will freeze territorial spirits and their action[s]. Pay attention to unusual places and the amount of snow and how it comes at the same time, for this will be a sign that things are getting close.

Turn From Strife and Fear

“You say, ‘Lord, what are we waiting for?’ God says, “I’ve asked you a question: What do you want Me, your Lord, [to] do for you? But should you, or would you, humble yourself and say, ‘But, Lord, what would You want me to do for You, my King?’ So, I am waiting for My people to rise up in their place and tune out [and] turn away from the strife, the fear, the plans of Jezebel and ancient ruling spirits that have sought to bring discord and division.

“Therefore, pay attention, for this is the time and this is the hour. As I walk among the earth and the nations, do you hear the sound of My feet? You shall, because you are coming into a time now … for it’s time. You need to say, ‘It’s time.’ I have waited, I have prolonged what men would say [has been] ‘delayed,’ and now it’s time.

Pay Attention to the First Six Months of 2022

“Pay attention to your courts; pay attention to January; pay attention to February, March, April, May, June—the first six months of the year! Much will be brought to the courts and through the courts; but how you, My people, choose to speak, pray and unite shall determine the magnitude of spoil that shall come—a justice through the courts.

“Therefore, watch the movement of My feet, for it is in the first six months of this year—that you are about to enter into—that I will gather to Myself the kings, the rulers, the leaders of the lands. And they will be brought before Me and I will measure; I will judge how they rule, the way that they have ruled, and if they rightfully should rule.

“Therefore, when this takes place, I shall look to those who have been harsh to the people of the jurisdiction in which they rule, and if they have ruled illegally; if they have ruled through an iron fist; if they have cooperated with the spirit that is trying to manifest at this time (the spirit of Marxism, communism) to steal the freedoms from the people of the earth—they will be dealt [with] harshly.

Removal of Kings/Puppet

“I am the God who sets up kings; I am the God who removes kings, and so I shall. Watch who shall be removed from the earth, for,” God says, “I have given them a space to repent, and they shook their fist. Now,” God says, “I shall no longer allow them to be a puppet.

The Dragon and the Bear

“Pay attention! You must pray against the actions of the Dragon and the hunger of the Bear. I speak to you, China, and I speak to you, Russia.“ For God says, “The Dragon breathes fire, seeking to consume the earth. They look to breathe fire, to expand, to take over. Their eyes are upon you, United States, and their eyes are upon Korea, North Korea and the places of Asia.” But God says, “Can I also shake Red China in a unique way that will bring about a distraction that shall disrupt mobility and mobilizing?

Don’t Fear! These Are the Days of Glory

“Pay no attention to the things that the enemy says you must fear! For these are days of glory, and you will say from your lips, ‘We have never seen this before.’ You will say it regarding the office of the president. You will say it regarding your Supreme Court—what shall happen. You will say it concerning the Senate and the House: ‘We have never seen it this way before.’ You—as you hear celebrations in the streets—you will say, ‘We have never seen it this way before.’ When you see the schools and how they will change, and the pushback that shall begin to arise, you will say, ‘We have never seen it this way before!'”

Unfinished Business and Shameful Moments

Begin to clap your hands and declare: “It’s time!”

When Jesus was in the temple and His parents didn’t know what He was up to …

Listen to the word of the Lord. There are some of you that are watching tonight, and some of you in this room, and you have no clue what God is up to, just like Jesus’ parents, Mary and Joseph. But listen to what the Spirit of God says: “It was out of the mouth of Jesus—when they came to the temple—He said, ‘Didn’t you know that I am about My Father’s business?'”

“What am I saying to you?”

The Spirit of God says, “It is time because of unfinished business. It’s time! Many, many, many embarrassing, shameful moments are about to hit in the first part of 2022.” God says, “Did I not do that already to the devil and his army, where I made a public display?” God says, “Watch, watch! He thought he could get by and get away with things, but I shall shame him and those who have cooperated with his injustice … everything that they have illegally done, the darkness … it’s time.” {eoa}

As we enter the New Year, many believers are committing to serve the Lord at a higher level. However, with the low standards of many churches and Christians, a person should have a practical way to gauge if their walk with God lines up with the will of God.

One way to measure this is by projecting the following questions across your church and estimating if it would survive. (Obviously, if your commitment was according to the will of God as shown in Scripture, the church should not only survive but thrive despite adversity.)

7 Questions to Ask Yourself

1. What if everyone financially gave the same percentage to the church as you do? Imagine you were a local church pastor with a biblical vision of making disciples and winning the lost. With this vision, you had to rent a building or pay a mortgage to the house Sunday services and other events. In light of your local church budget, imagine if everyone gave commensurate to the percentage of your income that you presently give. Would your church survive, thrive or have to close its doors?

2. What if everyone were as committed to church attendance as you are? Suppose your local church has about 100 members and everyone came to church as often as you did. Would the congregation have sufficient fellowship, participation and receive the systematic teaching needed to continue her mission? For example, if you only came to church once per month and the average in-person mimicked your attendance, the number of weekly attendees would only hover around 25. This ensures that a teaching series would only touch one-fourth of the congregation on any given Sunday. Would your church survive, thrive or have to close its doors?

3. What if everyone volunteered to serve in the church as often as you do? Imagine if you have not volunteered to serve in your local church in several years because you said you needed a break, and everyone followed your example. Would your church survive, thrive or have to close its doors?

4. What if everyone read the Bible as much as you do? What if everyone had your level of biblical knowledge? If you lack an intentional approach to consistently going through the Bible and only crack it open a few minutes per week, would your church survive, thrive or close its doors?

5. What if everybody were as committed to prayer as you are? Are you earnestly seeking God the way Scripture implores you to do (Heb. 11:6)? Do you casually say a few prayers once in a while? If every Christian had the same habit of prayer as you do, would your church survive, thrive or have to close its doors eventually?

6. What if everybody tried to share their faith the way you do? When was the last time you won a person to Christ or even attempted to share your faith with another person? If every Christian in your church did as you do, would your church survive, thrive or have to eventually close its doors due to a lack of evangelism?

7. What if everybody were as committed to discipleship as you are? Do you have a person who speaks into your life and disciples you? Do you have at least one person you are discipling? Most Christians answer no to that question despite the fact that they know discipleship is key to being established in the faith. If everyone practiced discipleship the way you do, would your church survive, thrive or have to eventually close its doors for lack of establishing people in the faith?

In conclusion, this article is not meant to condemn you if your commitment to Christ is lacking. It is meant to bring conviction so that your New Year’s resolution will have some real teeth and cause substantive change that will last forever! {eoa}
