Something is shifting in America.
It’s not just political or cultural—it’s spiritual. A new wave of reformation is beginning, and whether we recognize it or not, the church is at a crossroads. We’ve prayed for revival, we’ve gathered in circles to prophesy and decree, but now it’s time for something more. As Lance Wallnau recently put it, “Reformation is ‘Where do you go?’ You can’t keep circling and praying and prophesying—you reconstruct it.”
For years, America has been a land of awakenings and revivals, but unlike Europe, we’ve never truly had a reformation. That’s about to change. There’s a new spiritual mantle being released—one that doesn’t just refresh the church but reshapes it.

The days of passive Christianity are over. What’s coming is something apostolic, something bold, and yes, something controversial. “It’s a different muscle, it’s a different attitude, it’s a different authority,” Wallnau explained. “And we’re used to the pastor, the evangelist, the teacher and the prophet—this one is going to be the most controversial.”
Trump and the Wrecking Ball of Reformation
For many, Donald Trump’s role in all of this is undeniable. Love him or hate him, he has become a force of disruption in both politics and culture, tearing down systems that have long been entrenched in corruption. As Wallnau described it, Trump is “literally deconstructing what we call the administrative state. What Satan had built into the system—bam! bam!—like Samson, he’s clubbing Philistines left and right.”
But here’s the real challenge for the church: When the walls fall, what comes next? Far too often, Christians have been content to gather and pray while the world around them crumbles.
“We are so used to circling, prophesying, praying and decreeing that we actually don’t know what to do,” Wallnau said. “Reformation is where you go in and put it back in order the right way, where it blesses the people the right way and the enemy’s out.”
This is a wake-up call. The church cannot afford to remain in its comfort zone. The political and spiritual upheaval we are witnessing is not an accident—it is an opportunity. Will we step into it?
The Need for True Spiritual Reformation
Of course, for this shift to truly take hold, the church itself needs to undergo its own reformation. Too much of modern Christianity has settled for performance-driven experiences instead of real encounters with God.
“We used to have glory clouds, now we have smoke machines,” Wallnau lamented. “We used to have the lightnings of God, now we have light machines.”
The American church needs a return to true spiritual power. It’s not enough to have polished sermons and entertaining worship sets—we need the real, undeniable presence of God. This isn’t just about personal revival; it’s about transformation at every level.
Time to Step Forward
A new mantle is falling. A new assignment is being released. The question is: Who will take it up? Revival is not enough anymore—we need reformers. And reformers don’t just pray about change; they step into the battle and make it happen.
Trump may be a wrecking ball, but the real work begins when the dust settles. Will the church rise up and reclaim its role in shaping America? Or will we sit back and let someone else define our future?
