What if everything you’ve been waiting for could change in an instant?
That was the electric question hanging in the air when the late prophet Kim Clement stepped to the mic on September 9, 2006, and delivered a message that still resonates nearly two decades later.
God Is in a Good Mood
Clement opened with something disarming — even playful. He wasn’t going to open with thunder. He was going to open with joy.
“God’s in a good mood,” Clement told the congregation. “He’s so beautiful. He’s perfect to love. So you’re going to make it.”
It was a declaration rooted not in denial of hardship, but in a deliberate refusal to let fear have the final word. Clement consistently taught that the Spirit of God was not a reluctant, distant deity waiting to be appeased — but a joyful, purposeful Creator who delights in surprising His people.
From Moment to Momentum
One of the richest portions of the message centered on what Clement called “bringing a moment into existence.”
Drawing on his own prayerful study of the word moment, he unpacked it as “a particular period of importance, influence and significance in a series of events or developments.”
The prophet’s point was bold: God places an idea, a word, a vision into your heart — and your job is to act on it, pulling it out of the realm of dream and into reality.

“God gives you a word so it can become a moment that you bring into existence,” Clement said. “And then once you’ve brought the moment into existence, it becomes a momentum.”
He likened it to a pendulum: once it begins to swing, it cannot stop. The danger, he warned, is leaving God’s promises in the “cosmos area” — treating them as too good to be true, out of reach, perpetually deferred.
The Gift of Faith Is Being Released
Clement didn’t shy away from prophetic declaration either. He announced that a specific spiritual gift was being poured out on the congregation — and beyond it.
“There is a gift that is yet to be released and is being released at this very hour,” he said. “It is the gift of faith. Which means that you ain’t going to try very hard and it’s going to happen.”
This wasn’t laziness — it was grace. Clement’s vision of the gift of faith was one where God’s power meets human willingness at the point of action, producing acceleration rather than striving. He called it “the ability for you to do something that you struggled to do before, quickly and rapidly, under power from God.”
The Prophetic Restores
Clement also pointed to restoration as one of the key areas of the prophet’s job.
“The prophet is the one thing that deals with more than anything else — restoration,” he declared. “When you can tell somebody who is in a sick mess that God has chosen them to be a great businessman, or a great evangelist — the goodness of God will usually lead them to repentance.”
Build a Room for the Prophetic
Clement closed with the story of the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings 4 — a wealthy woman who built a room for the prophet Elisha. In that room, he stayed. In that room, her dead son was raised back to life.
“She built a room,” Clement told his audience, “and building the room caused the prophetic anointing to stay.”
His application was direct: create space — spiritually, financially, relationally — for the prophetic voice of God to dwell in your life and household. When the promise is threatened, you don’t run from the prophetic. You return to it.
Nearly 20 years on, the message remains arrestingly alive.
Suddenly, everything can change. And according to Clement, God is still in a very good mood.
