Perry Stone recently shared a prophetic word he believes the Lord impressed upon him, and it is one filled with encouragement and urgency for the body of Christ. In his message, Stone outlined how God continues to speak to His people today and what believers can expect in this season. “I received a download that I know came from the Lord,” he explained.
God Still Speaks
Stone began by reminding viewers that Scripture clearly shows the Spirit leads believers into truth and even reveals the future. “When He, the Spirit of truth, that’s the Holy Spirit, will come, He will guide you into all truth,” he said, quoting John 16:13.

He emphasized that God communicates in multiple ways.
Five Ways God Speaks
According to Stone, here are five ways the Lord reveals His voice:
- Through Scripture – The Word of God is living and active, providing guidance, correction, and encouragement when believers open it in faith. Passages often speak directly to current circumstances. (Heb. 4:12)
- Through the Holy Spirit – The Spirit of truth leads into all truth and reveals things to come, giving believers clarity and assurance in decisions and spiritual matters. (John 16:13)
- Through the Inner Leading – God speaks from the spirit to the mind, giving thoughts or impressions that carry His direction. This inner prompting often comes as sudden clarity or conviction. (Rom. 14, Acts 2:16–17 as supporting context)
- Through Dreams and Visions – Throughout history God has given warnings, encouragement, and revelation through dreams at night or visions in waking moments, showing His people what is ahead. (Acts 2:16–17)
- Through Nighttime Revelation – In deep sleep God can open ears and seal instruction, turning people from danger and guiding them with wisdom they recognize upon waking. (Job 33:15–18, Job 4:12–13)
Joel’s Prophecy Unfolding
Stone pointed to Joel 2:28-31 as a key passage for our time. “It’ll come to pass afterwards. I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams. Your young men shall see visions,” he said. He noted the significance of young and old being linked in this prophecy, showing that multiple generations will be joined in this end-time revival.

He connected this to cosmic and earthly signs. “The sun will be turned to darkness, the moon to blood, cosmic signs, blood moons, which are lunar eclipses, solar eclipses on Jewish festival days,” he said.
The Spirit of Elijah
Turning to Malachi’s prophecy, Stone read, “Behold, I send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” He explained that this passage has a dual application, both pointing to Elijah’s role in the tribulation and to a generation walking in the same spirit before it.
“The death of Charlie Kirk was a spiritual trigger to trigger the spirit of Elijah,” Stone declared, clarifying that by trigger he means an event that sets things in motion. He defined this spirit in three ways: “Number one, extreme boldness. Number two, non-compromise. Number three, producing the zeal or the fire of God.”
A Firebrand Generation
Stone described the next move of God as unlike anything before. “This one looks different because this one is a fire brand movement,” he said. He likened it to the story of Samson tying torches to foxes’ tails, saying every young believer will carry the fire of the Spirit into their schools, churches, and communities.
He also stressed the importance of fathers and mothers walking with this generation. “He will turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers,” Stone quoted. He believes this intergenerational unity is what will “reverse the curse.”
Unity in the Body of Christ
Finally, Stone called believers to a new spirit of unity. “Please, body of Christ, let’s start taking on a new attitude,” he urged. “Quit being so critical and so condemning and following the nuts instead of following the spiritual fruit.”

For Stone, this is a time of hope and expectation. “This is an exciting time to be alive,” he said. “This is not an artificial movement. This is not a man-made movement. This is a God thing.”
