2024 PROPHETIC WORD
A DECADE OF DISRUPTION
We are living through a decade of disruption that began on Rosh Hashanah in 2019 and will continue until Rosh Hashanah in 2029.
This is not just a new season. It is a change of an era.
The nations are at a tipping point.
A crossroads.
A threshold.
A valley of decision.
So this is a transition on a scale that none of us have ever experienced in our lifetimes.
It’s like turning a boat. A speedboat can be turned quickly. A huge ocean liner must be turned slowly. And that is why we are experiencing a slow turning as we come into a completely new era.
This is not just a small change.
Everything will continue to be shaken until there is nothing left that needs to be removed.
It will feel like it’s just one thing after another after another after another.
By the end of this decade, so much is going to look different in our world – geopolitically, the shape and alignment of nations, the nature of the church, and the functioning of finance and banking.
GOD IS SOVEREIGN
Above all, the important thing to remember is this - our God is sovereign.
He has not vacated or abdicated his throne. He rules in total supremacy and complete authority. And all of history and humanity are moving towards the feet of Jesus.
One day every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
In times of crisis and chaos, shaking and shifting, our God is still on the throne. He is our King and our hope.
2024: A YEAR OF TURBULENCE
I have repeatedly seen the same short vision of an airplane going through severe turbulence. Things on board are very rocky. The shaking settles and things are steady for a brief moment - but then the turbulence begins again.
And then I see the airplane suddenly drop thousands of feet. I don’t know if it crashes. But it drops very suddenly as it loses altitude.
This points to us heading into a very turbulent and volatile year in 2024.
It will be similar in some ways to 2020 - in terms of there being many ‘unprecedented’ events – but it will also be very different in how this turbulence manifests.
There will be many unsettling events. I see these beginning in February and March. Then there will be a sudden shock (the drop). Honestly, I don’t have complete clarity on what this is. It could be one event like a financial meltdown or a major escalation in war or a natural disaster - or the convergence of several events that I talk about later in this word.
THE NATIONS: GEO-POLITICAL EVENTS
This is a redefining year. At the end of 2024, and through 2025, things will look very different than they do now.
This is a year where the nations will begin to be re-shaped and re-ordered.
Nation will rise against nation. And within nations, there will be increasing division and conflict at a level we haven’t witnessed in our lifetimes.
UNITED STATES
I hear the LORD say:
“America, what will it take for you to awake?”
“How I have loved you. I formed you and raised you from humble beginnings into a great nation. But in the coming days I am going to humble you. Like Babylon, you have become proud and arrogant because of your size and wealth. I have yearned for you, but you have rejected Me. I have blessed you and you have turned your back on me. I have tried to warn you, but you have ignored Me. And so, I am coming to depose you from your privileged position for a season. I don’t want to do this, but I need to bring you to your knees so that you cry out to me in repentance and turn to me with your whole hearts. Return to me that I might restore you.”
I also hear the LORD say:
“Watch California – what goes into her and what comes out of her. It will be a sign and a symbol of where the nation is going.”
I also keep hearing the words ‘The Liberty Bell is silenced’. I’m not sure what that means.
“MALFEASANCE”
I keep hearing the word: malfeasance. I had to look it up in the dictionary. Malfeasance is defined as: ‘wrongdoing or misconduct especially by a public official.’
I believe in 2024 we will see corruption in politics and public office reach a level never witnessed before.
Hidden corruption will begin to be widely exposed. But those behind it will become so desperate that they won’t even care any longer. They will display a brazenness and a boldness in their deception because they realize they have nothing to lose. They will do anything - whatever it takes - to hold onto power.
I saw that behind-the-scenes in the White House there is increasing division about how much longer they can continue this political charade with the President.
Some ‘handlers’ want to throw the current president under a bus. They think he’s become too much of a liability.
Others want to continue what they have been doing, using him to push through the demonic agendas and line their own pockets. Ultimately, I don’t believe he will be the 2024 candidate. As regards the re-election of Donald Trump, I will simply share what I wrote on November 3, 2022 in my book ‘The Blueprint’:
”My strong feeling since before the 2020 election has been that the political Left and the elites who pull the strings of power behind the scenes simply cannot permit another term of Trump as President. He would dismantle an agenda that is too important to them. They will do anything to prevent that from happening. And I mean anything. If Donald Trump decides to run again, which is looking increasingly likely, it will bring disruption and chaos in the United States and further afield. I wouldn’t even be shocked if there was an attempt on his life. I know this may sound extreme to some. But no one could have imagined that the U.S. would become this divided in such a short period. These are unprecedented times.
Alternatively, if Trump does run, I could foresee an unexpected candidate also entering the race for the White House: Michelle Obama. It’s very difficult to see anyone on the Democrat side who would garner more support both nationally and abroad.”
EUROPE
The LORD says:
“Your alliances will begin to dissolve and your union will fracture. You have fought against Me and now I am coming to fight against you. You will turn on each other. Goat nations will be separated from sheep nations. You will see my judgement before your eyes.”
The war between Russia and Ukraine will reach a stalemate. A peace agreement will be sought as the nations that have supported Ukraine will need to divert their attention and resources elsewhere. Russia will achieve what she set out to take. The President of Ukraine will increasingly become a liability and will be removed.
CHINA
I see China becoming more aggressive. They will see how far they can push things without entering into a full-scale war. I believe we will see greater incursions in the South China Sea as they encroach on smaller islands owned by other countries, such the Philippines. They want to gain strategic footholds with the ultimate aim of retaking Taiwan. We will see China brought to the brink of a world war.
I hear the LORD say:
“China - I will use you to humble the nations. Not because you have walked in my ways. But because you are a tool in my hand. The Red Dragon will breathe fire for a season, and its enemies will be consumed. But then, it will become haughty and proud, and I will strike the Dragon down with great suddenness and shock.”
THE MIDDLE EAST
At the beginning of 2023, I released a word for that year. I said this:
“Watch the Middle East, especially what happens in Israel. Long-standing allies will turn their back on Zion. But God will defend His people.”
In the months ahead we’re going to increasingly see this. As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, Israel will increasingly find herself alone and isolated on the world stage. Other regional enemies will see this as an opportunity to attack Israel – especially Iran and Syria. Turkey will also make a lot of threatening noise. These other nations will be emboldened by an alliance with Russia. But they will not succeed.
AFRICA
The LORD says:
“I want to elevate you, but you keep turning on your brothers and sisters. And a house divided against itself cannot stand. Come back together. United you will rise and become a force for greatness and prosperity on the earth.”
UNITED KINGDOM
The LORD says:
“I want to restore you to your former glory. But you keep pursuing a path that leads you away from me. Even your national church has chosen to reject my word. I will dissociate the Church from the state for the sake of both. And then I will pour out my glory.”
I also sense that Britain will go through significant political and economic turmoil in 2024. There will be several terrorist attacks on UK soil by extremists.
The Royal Family will be rocked by a major setback. Morale and trust in institutions will reach an all-time low.
AUSTRALIA
The LORD says:
“You will find yourself in a pivotal position in geopolitical affairs. You are moving from the periphery to the center. You will be courted by many nations, because of your unusually strategic position in what is coming. Don’t be deceived or deluded by those who only want to use you for their own gain. Choose your alliances carefully. Pursue the path that I place before you. My eye is on Australia.”
OTHER GEOPOLITICAL EVENTS
CONVERGENCE OF ‘BLACK SWANS’
I see a convergence of major events. Several different crises and disasters all happening at the same time. These could be major ‘black swan’ events like Covid or 9/11. Or they might be acts of terrorism, disasters, assassinations of world leaders, or strange signs in the sky. But they will happen within a very short timeframe bringing maximum chaos and fear. I also see several major cyber-attacks affecting millions of people. They could be on national power grids or financial systems. There will be targeted, co-ordinated attacks.
Some of these will be the genuine attacks. Others will be false flags created to divert attention from other things and to accelerate certain agendas.
But the general sense will be one of global shock and fear.
SUDDEN CHANGES IN LEADERSHIP
In many nations, there will be significant changes in political leadership and even monarchies. We will witness sudden and surprising resignations as there is a re-ordering in many governments.
God is going to sovereignly remove some leaders from their positions. Very influential, high-profile leaders will be exiting the stage one after another.
The board is being reset. There is a purging. The Lord is removing the rot.
It is a year when the world will be turned upside down so that the Lord can make it right side up.
SHIFTS AND SIGNS IN CREATION
I see a vision of the surface of the earth undulating - is the only word I can think of. I don’t think it’s a word I’ve ever used before. But literally the crust of the earth is going up and down like waves.
I immediately think of Romans 8:22:
“We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.”
We hear about global warming, but we are actually experiencing global groaning’.
I believe this points to an increase in natural disasters and chaos in creation, as we get closer to the end.
We are going to see many unusual happenings - major storms, signs in the sky, shakings, fires and drought - on a scale none of us have ever seen in our lifetime. And they are going to happen with increased frequency and intensity like birth pains.
FINANCIAL SHAKING
I believe that we are going to see a major financial crisis in the next 12 to 18 months.
When I say major, I believe that we are going to begin to see entire financial institutions and banking systems begin to collapse. Governments will try to prop it up for a season, but it will fail.
We saw a few isolated banks go through this in 2023. That was a sign of what is coming. Many more are on the edge of a steep cliff.
Ultimately, the failure of financial institutions and systems will be used to move towards the introduction of a mandated central bank digital currency (CBDC).
LAWLESSNESS
I keep hearing the word: lawlessness.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 says:
“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.”
I believe we are going to see lawlessness in the cities of our nations. Law enforcement will simply not be able to contain or control what is happening, especially larger cities. It is demonic chaos. You will even see the military being called in to restore order.
SEPARATION
Within nations, we are going to see unprecedented division, separation, and hostility between different groups.
In one sense, of course this is bad because we desire that people would come together and live in unity.
However, from God’s vantage point, there will be a separation going on in the last days between light and darkness, sheep, and goats, wise and foolish, good and evil.
Jesus said: “I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” (Matthew 10: 34)
He also said: “Those who are not for me are against me.” (Matthew 12: 30)
In a time of such intense spiritual and physical war, there will be no sitting on the fence. It will be very hard to find neutral ground. We will see the inclination of men’s hearts being fully revealed.
Choose this day who you will serve (Joshua 24:15).
2024: THE CHURCH
In 2024, we are going to see the glory, power, and presence of God manifest in unusual ways.
The LORD says:
“I am coming with great power to my Church - so make room for Me in your structured services! I will show up in new ways that you have never seen before. But because it doesn’t fit your paradigm, experience, or expectations, some will immediately reject it. It is clearly Me – so by rejecting the move of my Spirit, they are rejecting Me. And I will depart from them. For I will no longer go where I am not welcomed nor will I contend with a people who think they can gather in My name but without My power and presence.”
The cleansing and purification in the church will continue. Things that people thought were buried are going to resurface. It will be a time of exposure and reckoning where everything is being brought into the light.
The LORD says:
“I am the LORD, your God, and I will no longer tolerate mixture in my people. I have given you time to repent, and yet you have closed your ears to my voice. And, so now I am coming to remove some lampstands. My people are not platforms for your glory. I will purge my house of uncleanness and it will once again become a house of prayer.”
The show is over. Get back to what matters most to Him.
This is a Psalm 24 year of the humble servants with clean hands and pure hearts who are empowered by the Spirit.
God is searching for men and women whose hearts are fully devoted to him. Who walk in the truth and light. He wants to entrust them with greater authority, provision, territory, and resources.
We have known God as Father, Savior, and Friend.
In this new era, we are also going to see Him as Judge, Warrior, and King.
A TIME OF POSITIONING
Over the past 3 years we have witnessed exposure, sifting, removal of leaders, dismantling of structures, and the passing of former generals.
However, no one has arisen or emerged to take their place.
We have heard much about ‘the changing of the guard’.
The old guard have exited - but, as yet, there has been no significant transfer of authority.
In 2024, we will begin to see the emergence and positioning of new leaders, structures, wineskins, and movements.
Former ‘unknowns’ prepared in obscurity will be brought in from the sidelines to the center.
They have been tested and proven to be ready.
They can be entrusted with authority and influence.
They have no interest in fame, platforms, power, or celebrity.
They walk in holiness, righteousness, transparency, and a fear of the LORD.
They will faithfully speak the word of the Lord and lead the people of God through this turbulent era and coming awakening.
A YEAR OF EXTREMES
2024 will be a time of Isaiah 60: 1-3:
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.”
These will be the best of times and the worst of times.
As the darkness intensifies, the light will shine more brightly.
It will be a year of hunger for truth, even as deception continues to increase.
A year of great exposure, as falsehood rises.
A year of spiritual awakening, even as many fall away from the faith.
A year of harvest and abundance, even as many experience lack and shortage.
A year of unusual clarity and prophetic revelation, even as many walk around in complete confusion.
A year of upheaval, even as well as supernatural reversal.
A year of glory, as well as the gory.
We will see many searching for truth and desperately longing to find a secure place to put their hope.
So, this will be a moment for the Church to arise and shine.
A fearful world needs a fearless Church.
In the coming days, we are going to see a bold church begin to arise.
A Church that isn’t afraid to confront the darkness.
A church that isn’t afraid to lay down their lives in sacrifice and surrender.
A church that preaches the uncompromising truth of the Gospel with boldness and clarity and conviction.
A church that moves in powerful signs, wonders, and miracles.
COME UP HIGHER
God is inviting us to ‘come up higher’. You are seated in the heavenly realms.
Ascend above the noise and confusion. See things from His perspective.
The increasing chaos is an intensification of the ‘birth pains’ as the return of Jesus comes closer. We are simply witnessing an acceleration in God’s timetable.
God’s people must have greater discernment. See beyond the surface. Look beyond the physical. And ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what is really going on.
Never forget who the real enemy is.
We don’t fight against people. We fight against demonic powers.
Sometimes these will manifest through people. But we should never see another person as our enemy. In all the calamity, division, and chaos – remember this – God loves people. He sent his son to die for humanity. It is not his desire that any should perish, but that all should come to eternal life. (2 Peter 3: 9)
Therefore, our greatest passion and goal is not to see any political agenda, president elected, or earthly kingdom established.
It is to see Jesus Christ receive His full inheritance that He died for. He shed His precious blood to purchase men and women for God.
And we will achieve that primary mission through proclaiming and demonstrating the glorious gospel everywhere, every day, with everyone.
The time is short. The need is great. God is dismantling our comfortable Western consumer Christianity. He is bringing us back to what matters most. He is seeking those who are willing to lay down their lives in total surrender to Christ.
As pressure and persecution increase, stand firm. Keep your eyes fixed the day when:
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 11:15)

10 SOBERING WORDS FOR 2023
At the beginning of each year, many prophetic voices release a ‘word’ for that year.
This year, I held back from doing that. Not because it's wrong. But because the Lord was "drip feeding" me a prophetic sense of what is to come. To be honest, I was also reluctant to share it because what I was receiving wasn't exactly uplifting for the most part!
However, over the last few days, I have felt a sense of release from the Holy Spirit to share what I have written.
So, below are what I have called “10 sobering words for this prophetic season.”
Please read them all carefully and prayerfully.
I want you to never forget that our God is absolutely sovereign and that all things are working to the end that he has ordained.
Blessings,
Craig

10 SOBERING WORDS FOR THIS PROPHETIC SEASON
1. DISRUPTION
We are living through a decade of disruption. Crisis after crisis is coming as the shaking, shifting, and sifting continue (and even intensify) for the foreseeable future.
The spiritual and geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting and colliding in every region of the earth and sphere of society. The epicenters of power are being redefined. There is a great displacement taking place. As new alliances are formed, some previously ‘emerging’ nations will rise to great prominence. Others that were at the forefront of power will see their importance significantly decline.
This global realignment will bring war, violence, technological conflict, economic sanctions, uprisings, strikes, and even political assassinations.
We will also experience an unprecedented rise in natural disasters and other crises, including contamination and unusual diseases.
Watch the Middle East, especially what happens in Israel. Long-standing allies will turn their back on Zion. But God will defend His people.
There will be much fear and anxiety as people simply don’t know where to turn. It may even appear as if the world is coming to an end…but that time has not yet come.
Matthew 24:7
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
2. EXPOSURE
Things that have been hidden will continue to be revealed. Great deception will be exposed. There will be a desperate attempt to continue to cover-up corruption, lies, injustice, fraud, greed, and other evils. It will fail. Evil will overplay its hand. Light will shine into the darkest corners of corruption.
Secret documents and recordings will surface and a level of exposure will come that will shock all political factions.
National leaders will be disgraced and will be removed before their term is finished. Anger will boil over among the populace. There will be protests on the streets and great civil unrest.
Trust in all institutions will be gone.
In the midst of this, leaders will arise from the sidelines who will gather people to themselves. Some will be noble and trustworthy; others will be demonically assigned to create chaos and advance an antichrist agenda. Discernment is vital. The enemy will use the chaos to attempt to install puppet leaders in government.
Matthew 10:26
So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
3. RE-ALIGNMENT
There has been a clear changing of the guard for the last few years as major leaders have been moved, promoted, stood down, exposed, or passed away.
After a great testing, a new generation of Christian leaders are emerging from the sidelines. Largely unknown, they have been prepared in obscurity for such a time as this. They will be of all ages and from all backgrounds. What matters most is that they have a pure heart fully devoted to God.
It has never been more vital for God’s people to realign themselves with the right people and in the right places. Our destiny depends on our correct alignment in this next season.
This may mean exiting from significant relationships, changing church or a network, resigning from your denomination, even moving house or relocating to a different region.
It may be painful, uncomfortable, and lonely for a season. But don’t allow false loyalty to keep you in an old wineskin. God has much more for you – but you may need to reposition or disconnect from some things to fully enter into it.
Luke 5:37
No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
4. OBEDIENCE
I’ve repeatedly heard the LORD say: “Get your house in order.” He is preparing His bride. No longer will He tolerate compromise, carnality, selfish ambition, greed, pride, or persistent disobedience in His people.
Holy living and ongoing repentance are absolutely key to walking with God and flourishing in this next season. We cannot have contaminants or mixture in our hearts.
Conviction, confession, and disciplined living are central to our ability to prevail.
We must discern the ‘now’ Word of the Lord and obey immediately. I keep hearing the phrase: “Enquire of the LORD”. Don’t presume or make assumptions based on your previous experience. Go to God with your daily decisions. Seek Heaven’s wisdom and you will prosper.
A holy fear of the LORD is returning to the church. As in the days of Ananias and Sapphira, we will see God come in judgement against rebellious and hard-hearted ‘believers’ who refuse to submit to the Father’s loving discipline.
The church will look different than ever before. As the purifying continues, the ekklesia will rise in great power and authority to express the ministry of Christ in new ways.
2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
5. COURAGE
Persecution of the uncompromising church will increasingly be legislated by governments. As the ‘woke/liberal’ demonic agenda is pushed to extremes, the pressure to conform will intensify, especially in the area of human sexuality and gender ideology.
The great sifting will continue. God’s people will be divided even further between those who conform to culture and those who courageously stand for truth and righteousness in the face of opposition and attacks. The Godly will face threats, violence, and even imprisonment.
This is not a time to shrink back, be silent, or hide.
This is our moment. We are fighting for future generations. We must boldly speak up, expose lies, and call the culture around us back to God’s loving standards for humanity.
Ultimately, we must be willing to sacrifice everything, even our lives, for our faith in Christ.
Acts 4:29
Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
6. CONFRONTATION
There will an increase in wars and rumours of wars - between nations and within nations - even within regions and cities. Ideological and proxy wars will escalate into full blown conflict.
The separation between light and darkness will have never been greater. The is no middle ground. A demarcation is being drawn between the righteous and the wicked - between the corrupt and those who stand for truth.
Nations will be divided into sheep and goats. Believers will split into wise and foolish.
There will be rise of extremism on all sides.
However, this is also a time for personal confrontation - to ruthlessly deal with the things in our own hearts that have been hindering us and holding us back from full devotion to Jesus. There is a grace right now to confront deep-rooted issues and long-standing struggles. There is freedom and fulfilment available to those who face their own darkness.
Matthew 10:34
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
7. FOCUS
There is a great battle for attention - for minds and eyes - in the mainstream media but especially on social media. Censorship and blatant lies will make it difficult to find sources of truth and trust.
The enemy wants to bring so much distraction and disruption into our lives so that we miss or ignore what matters most. This can be on a large-scale, where are we miss the uncovering of truth because we are giving too much attention to “false flags“.
This can also be on a personal level, where are we spend more time scrolling social media than pressing into the presence of God.
Determine your priorities. Get disciplined in your pursuit of God. Daily time in the word and prayer have never been so important.
These are serious days we are living in. We must be sober minded and alert. Fix your focus. Don’t give the enemy an inch.
Philippians 3:13-14
“…one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
8. POWER
We are going to see the Holy Spirit move in unprecedented and unrivalled power across the nations - especially in regions where there is great persecution of the church.
There will be salvations, healings, and miracles unlike anything we have ever seen. The Kingdom will advance like never before.
Believers will begin to recognize our true identity and authority in Christ.
As in the days of Elijah, God’s people will prophetically decree a thing and it will come to pass. Heavens wisdom and blueprints will be downloaded to a generation of Josephs, Daniels, and Esthers. As the infrastructures crumble in the nations, God’s people will bring Kingdom solutions and supernatural wisdom to the problems the world cannot solve.
Revelation 11:3, 6
“I will appoint my two witnesses…They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.”
9. SHORTAGES
The squeezing and shortages we have already seen will continue and intensify. It will reach a point where a large proportion of society simply cannot afford to live. This will lead to unrest, looting, mass protests, uprisings, and the overthrow of governments.
There will also be significant disruptions to power grids affecting millions, major computer systems will be hacked, transport and supply chains will completely break down.
I also believe there is a financial crash coming that much greater than most of us have witnessed in our lifetime. Nations will default on debts. Currencies will crumble. Major companies and corporations - even banks and other financial institutions - will be bankrupted. In many places, this will lead to a total dependence on governments for handouts to survive in return for giving up of personal freedoms. Central bank digital currencies will begin to replace the current financial system. This will give corrupt governments centralised control over the daily life of their citizens.
Luke 21:11
“There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.”
10. SOVEREIGNTY
Do not be anxious or afraid. In everything that happens, never forget - our God is still on His throne. Nothing takes him by surprise. All of history and humanity are moving irreversibly towards the feet of Jesus.
Read the end of the Book. Jesus wins!
The Father has a timeline. He is patient, longing to bring everyone to repentance. But ultimately, he is coming to judge the wicked and reward the righteous. Hell has already been defeated. Evil cannot win. God’s people will emerge victorious. Great shaking will lead to greater glory.
Therefore, no matter what happens, we must see it as a God-given opportunity to advance the Kingdom.
God will back His people when they honor His Word. A terrified world needs a bold and courageous church.
Revelation 22:12-13
“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

2022 PROPHETIC WORD
SHAKING AND SIFTING AND SQUEEZING.
I believe we are in the middle of a three-year prophetic cycle:
2020: The year of SHAKING.
2021: The year of SHAKING and SIFTING.
2022: The year of SHAKING, SIFTING, and SQUEEZING.
The SHAKING obviously began with everything that happened around 2020 - the virus, racial tensions, division leading up to the election in the US. However, I believe it actually began in September 2019 at the time of the Hebrew New Year.
This matters because the cycle should then be expected to run until September 2022. Expect things to begin to turn between Easter (April) and September.
This shaking has continued in some measure through 2021 and, now, into 2022.
But we have also seen a significant SIFTING in the church. Many who were part of the church prior to the pandemic simply haven’t returned. As we go through 2022, this SIFTING is becoming a PURGING. God is cleaning house.
In Mark 11, we are told that Jesus visited the temple and looked around. He observed what was occurring in His Father’s house. Then, in Mark 12, we are told that the next day he again entered the temple and overturned the tables.
In 2021, Jesus has been looking at his church. He has started separating the sheep from the goats. This year, I believe that sifting will become a purging of impurity.
You will see many leaders exposed.
Darkness will be brought into the light.
There will be high-profile resignations.
The Lord is cleaning His house. He is purifying his bride. He wants to come with new power and presence to his people but He will not do that with a defiled, carnal people.
(We will also see significant exposure in other areas of life such as government, finance, business, and tech. The Lord will teach us not to put our trust in people.)
Next is the SQUEEZING.
The squeezing has already begun with shortages in the stores, supply chain issues, inflation, uncertainty around gas and fuel, staffing issues, etc.
The process must be completed.
In 2022, I believe we’re going to see more food shortages, power cuts, and other areas of pressure on a global scale.
The issue of vaccine mandates will also intensify to boiling point and then fizzle out because it will be impossible (& too costly) to enforce and sustain.
It will be a tight squeeze - but not catastrophic.
THE FIRST 100 DAYS ARE VERY IMPORTANT – GOD IS INSPECTING HIS PEOPLE
Again, we read in Mark 11: 11:
“Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.”
I believe that the first 100 days of this year are very important.
After the time of dismantling the Lord is re-mantling His people.
During the first 100 days of 2022, the Lord is ‘searching to and fro throughout the earth for those whose hearts are fully devoted to him.’ (2 Chronicles 16: 9) When he finds them, He will promote them. Others, whose hearts are compromised, will be removed. Expect to see significant shifts in leadership in the body of Christ in 2022.
A RETURN TO HOLINESS, REPENTANCE, AND A FEAR OF THE LORD.
God is bringing His people back into a holy reverence and fear of the Lord.
We have become too casual with the things of God. We have allowed compromise and sin to go unconfronted and unrepented. We look too much like the world.
The Lord is going to bring deep conviction to His people. Even in areas where it seems like He had “turned a blind eye”, there will now be conviction and an opportunity to repent.
Holiness in life and behavior will be the standard.
There will also be a deep humility as we are brought face-to-face with our own sinfulness and brokenness.
The Lord is not seeking to wound us unnecessarily. He wants to heal us. But those who harden their hearts and refuse His kindness that leads to repentance will be brought to a place of judgment. He simply will not tolerate the intolerable.
THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS
There is something very significant around how believers speak, decree and declare the word of God in 2022.
We know that “the power of life and death are in the tongue” (Prov 18: 21) but this year we are going to see just how true that is.
This is an Ezekiel 37 season. The dry bones will respond to the Word of the Lord.
Our lips have the power to bless or to curse, to tear down or to build, to heal or to destroy, to speak life or death.
It will be as in the days of Elijah that the decrees of those with spiritual authority will come to pass indisputably. Like the two witnesses in Revelation 11, prophetic voices with the mantle and fire of Elijah will come forth. They will speak to leaders and governments. God will back up their words.
At a time when the airwaves are being filled with so many lies and so much division, we must fill them with truth and righteousness and justice and worship.
UNUSUAL EVENTS IN CREATION/WEATHER
A common statement this year will be: “That’s not how it should happen.”
Places that are usually warm will be uncommonly cold. Things that normally happen, won’t happen. There will be many instances where people will talk about ‘unusual’ or unheard of events, especially in relation to nature/creation/weather.
What happens in the invisible, spiritual realm is often mirrored in the physical visible realm. It is a sign that God is turning things upside down. There is a turnaround. A reversal.
BACK TO BASICS
God is bringing His people back to the basics of a robust, vital, stripped-back faith.
There has been too much performance in His church. There has been too much human-centred ‘hype’. It has been a pre-programmed facade and the Lord will no longer tolerate a show in His name.
He is tearing down the false altars of personality and performance and replacing them with true altars of prayer, repentance, fasting, intercession, brokenness, generosity, worship.
We don’t need more ‘relevance’ or ‘celebrity pastors’. We need more of Him. We are being called to seek His face and pursue His presence above all else.
LET MY PEOPLE GO!
The Lord has been echoing the words He spoke to Moses in Exodus 3: 7-8:
“The Lord said, ‘I have indeed seen the misery of my people... I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them…”
In the same way as the Lord came down and saw how His people were being oppressed by the Egyptians, so He has come down and watched how nations and peoples are being subjugated and held captive by those in power through authoritarian restrictions and unjust laws.
He will not tolerate it any longer.
The LORD will set Himself against those who continue to impose restrictions and lockdowns.
Those who continue to oppose his will may well find themselves removed from the position of authority in one way or another.
It is always God’s desire to lead his people from captivity into freedom.
THE YEAR OF ‘FALSE FLAGS’.
A false flag is an event/crisis designed to create a desired response or divert attention away from something else.
The Lord spoke to me about ‘false flags’ in December 2021. Around four weeks later, in January 2022 news outlets were already using the words “false flag“ in relation to Russia’s activities in eastern Ukraine.
There will be many false flags throughout this year. There will be crisis events, explosions, terrorist attacks, even wars, designed to elicit a certain reaction/response or to divert attention away from something else. In fact, almost every month it may feel as if we’re on the edge of war, disaster, crisis, doom.
Look behind the headlines to what is really going on. Who benefits? Who does this divert attention from?
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS
There will be wars and rumors of wars. Much of 2022 will be spent trying to pull nations back from the brink of devastating conflicts.
Russia will do everything it can to reclaim Ukraine, probably through a ground invasion.
China will do everything it can to retake Taiwan.
You will likely see an attack on Israel from Iran and her proxies.
At times, it may seem as if the world is on the brink of a nuclear war.
The Lord keeps giving me the word: ‘CUSP’: the point when something is about to change to something else; a point of transition between two different states.
Throughout 2022, we will find ourselves on a cusp. Things could move in either direction. God’s people must pray. Leaders must lead with wisdom and courage.
THE SPIRIT IS COMING WITH POWER TO THE CHURCH – ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF DELIVERANCE.
I heard the Lord say: “Say ‘Goodbye’ to powerless Christianity.”
In 2022, he is coming with a fresh, ‘dunamis’ power upon His people. There will be verifiable signs, wonders, miracles, and especially a renewed emphasis on seeing people set free from demons.
God wants his people free.
I keep hearing the word SURGE.
Over the last few months, we have experienced numerous power surges in our house. They have actually blown some of our appliances. There is no reason for these. Our nearest neighbors haven’t experienced them. I believe it is a sign that the Lord is coming with a great surge of power.
He is going to surge through His people.
There will be certain spots across the world where his power is particularly evident and manifest. These will spread. I see hot spots all over the globe. These ‘hot spots’ will not be defined by their denomination or stream, but by their desire to be true to the Lord, obedient to His Word, to live in holiness and repentance, and to be open to the manifestation of the Spirit.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WATER
I heard the Lord say this phrase: “There’s something in the water.”
I believe that baptism by full immersion will become incredibly powerful and significant this year. The church will be brought to a fresh revelation of the importance and significance of baptism. The symbolism of dying to our old life and rising to new life in Christ will bring powerful results.
In the water people will be set free, diseases will be healed, depression will lift, and spiritual gifts will be imparted. In some churches, such baptisms will become a weekly occurrence in every service.
THE ECONOMY IS ON A ‘CLIFF EDGE’.
I had a picture of a large steel safe balancing on edge of a cliff. I believe that the safe represented our financial system/economies. They are on a cliff edge right now. Inflation, debt, supply issues, and overpriced stocks have brought us into a massive ‘bubble’.
There is potential for a significant economic plummet the likes of which we have not experienced since the 1929 Great Depression. It may be pushed back and put off, but it cannot be stopped. It will happen very suddenly.
It will be so significant and devastating to economies right across the globe that it will bring about the desire between governments for a single worldwide digital currency.
THE EMERGENCE OF THE ‘MINOR’ PROPHETS.
Over the past few weeks, God has continually been bringing Old Testament books of Habbakuk, Amos, Haggai, etc. before me. I asked Him what it meant. He spoke to me that this is ‘the year of the minor prophets’. (These shorter prophetic books in our Bible are known as the ‘minor prophets’, as distinguished from the ‘major prophets’ such as Isaiah and Jeremiah.)
Those prophetic voices that have been prepared backstage, in the wilderness, will come forth. They will bring fresh revelation, untarnished by political ideologies or position or the love of money. They cannot be bought. They seek the face of the Lord above all else.
They will speak the truth with a rawness and authenticity that will shock many. They will confront the modern church with many of her idolatries. They will speak with truth and power into government, world affairs, business, technology, medicine, entertainment, and education.
Much of the church may reject these prophets. To some in power, they will be an irritant to be side-lined or removed. But they are the voice of the Lord calling in the wilderness. A remnant will recognize them as speaking with the true, prophetic revelation of God.
A FRESH UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR AUTHORITY AND IDENTITY
A number of months ago, I had a vivid prophetic dream. Thieves had broken into our house (which happened to be attached to a church) and they were trying to steal our passports. I raised my voice, and they ran off.
As I prayed into it, the Lord showed me that the passport was a sign of our identity. The enemy is seeking to rob God’s people of our uniqueness, our calling, our ministry, even our reputation. This is through ongoing weariness, attacks on our weak spots, and insecurity about the future.
A passport also permits access. The enemy is trying to prevent us from accessing new territory. He was attempting to hem us in and keep us contained.
Many of God’s people are experiencing an ‘identity crisis’ right now. Perhaps that’s you. You have lost some sense of the essence of who you are. Events of the past two years and relentless enemy attacks have robbed you of your sense of confidence, purpose, mission, and ministry. Some of your important relationships have changed. You’re not sure exactly where you fit any longer.
The Lord wants you to lift your voice. Raise a shout of defiance.
Don’t permit the enemy to take what is rightfully yours.
Break free from containment and confinement.
Break off passivity and assert your God-given authority.
Don’t underestimate what the Lord has planned for you this next season. The enemy has discerned the plans of the Father and he’s trying to cause you to draw back in defeat.
Claim your identity.
Know your ‘metron’.
The Lord has given you a sphere of influence, a place where you can assert and exert significant spiritual authority to change the atmosphere and events. This is your ‘metron’. You must understand what that sphere is for you. Do not go beyond it, but do not relinquish your authority within it. Your prayers and prophetic decrees will pull down strongholds, liberate captives, and shift the atmosphere.
COME UP HIGHER.
The Lord is calling his people to take their places spiritually in the heavenly realms. To see things from his perspective and vantage point. To not be so limited or restricted by politics, news cycles, events, and apparent calamities.
We must see things as He sees them. We must learn to hear His voice. We must discern His ways.
That will happen as we spend time on our knees and on our faces before Him in prayer. He will lift us up. He will give us His eyes. He will give us spiritual perception.
WHEN IN DOUBT – ZOOM OUT.
This links to the previous point
I recently started investing a little in bitcoin and crypto. Within weeks of my initial investment, the price dropped significantly. I started to panic a little at such volatility.
But then I learned that those who have been in the crypto game for a long time have an expression:
“When in doubt, zoom out.”
And when you zoom out, you can see historically that bitcoin has only ever gone in one direction and that is up.
That bigger picture give me confidence and helps me not to panic when things are incredibly up and down.
It’s the same with the volatility in the world around us. We must zoom out. We must see the big picture from God’s Word and the big picture of history - our God is sovereign and all of history and humanity are moving irreversibly towards the feet of Jesus.
I believe that you will see many more churches begin to teach from the book of Revelation this year. There will be a longing to get God’s vantage point on the events we are witnessing around us and to understand the events of the end times.
IT’S TIME TO TAKE YOUR PLACE.
In 2022, the Lord wants you to step into the fullness of the good plans that He has prepared for you. You will have clarity around your calling.
This will be a year of consolidation and establishment. In the midst of all of the crises and shaking, the Lord has been working behind the scenes to reposition and re-mantle his people.
There is still some movement/relocation/repositioning to take place. In many cases, it will be swift and unexpected. But it will be very clear that the Lord is moving you. He will remove obstacles and obstructions. He will open doors. He will straighten your path
He wants to establish you in a place of new authority and influence. He is bringing enlargement and expansion to important dimensions of your life and ministry. You will receive a new anointing for the place and space that He has ordained for you.
Many of you have been wandering in the wilderness for a long time. Now the Lord wants to bring you into a place where you can be established, build, grow, and increase.

2020 PROPHETIC WORD
The key word that I keep getting over and over again for 2020 is "PIVOTAL".
The next 12 months will be absolutely pivotal and I believe this will be the most significant year of the last 50 years.
It is a “tipping point” year - a year when everything that has been happening since the year 2000 culminates and climaxes.
The next 12 months will also shape the next decade.
The last 5-10 years have seen the most significant polarisation and division in nations and between nations that I have witnessed in my lifetime.
The pressure has been building and this year it is going to be released.
I saw what looked like huge tectonic plates underneath the Earth’s surface. They have been pushing together forming pressure and friction. This is going to build up to such an extent that it will be like an earthquake or eruption in 2020.
In fact, don’t be surprised if the Lord affirms this in the natural. What happens physically often mirrors and even precedes what is happening in the spiritual realm.
In the early months of 2020 you could see a very significant earthquake or volcanic eruption. The father is showing us prophetically what lies ahead in the rest of the year.
Nationally, leaders will be at a loss as to how to bring peace and stability in their societies. There will be desperate measures such as curfews and bans, but they will be ineffective and counterproductive.
There will be many significant uprisings against regimes and governments, as well as the overthrow of those who have been using power in illegitimate and ungodly ways to control and manipulate the masses. They will try to maintain power by brute force but their days are numbered. This includes Russia, Hong Kong and even possibly Iran and mainland China.
The United States will find itself on the brink of civil conflict as the push to remove President Trump becomes more and more desperate. Extremism, on the right and left, will be at a level never witnessed before in the nation.
In many cities the hostility on both sides will boil over and you will see running battles in the streets. The National Guard will be deployed to restore law and order, and it will come, but sadly only after the spilling of innocent blood.
There will be a constitutional crisis in late summer as the election draws closer. While in the natural I believe President Trump will be re-elected, in my spirit I strongly sense that there will be a concerted attempt by the enemy to remove him illegitimately, even as the current impeachment process fails.
There will be a major sifting within the church. The Lord is purifying his Bride as His return draws more imminent.
Immature, immoral, heretical and ungodly leadership will be removed.
The Lord no longer will tolerate a “show“ in His name.
Only those who are pursuing His presence from a place of purity, reverence and true worship will flourish and stand. The others will be swept away in the cultural tide of conformity.
The economy worldwide will take a major sudden dip. But it will not fall into recession like in 2008. It will quickly rally and recover.
A significant shift will happen in the tech industry after the uncovering of a huge data scandal among some of the largest companies. The government will step in to regulate and control some major corporations that at the moment are essentially coordinating a spying operation on the general population through illegal recording.
The U.K.’s exit from the EU will lead to a significant unsettling among other countries in the union. It is the beginning of a complete dissolution. Germany and France especially will fight hard to hold it together. But it is finished.
The radical left, LGBTQ and trans agenda will become more forceful and even violent, to the point where it will backfire they will eventually harm their own cause. Eyes will be opened as people start to long for freedom of speech and thought.
There will be the greatest separation of believers in the last 200 years between those who appease and surrender to the secular culture and those who stand for righteousness, holiness and the Word of the Lord. The pressure to conform and be liked by the world will be so intense. Stand firm in truth and grace.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Word.

2021 PROPHETIC WORD: PART 1
SUMMARY OF PART 1
2020 was a year of distraction where much evil was done in secret, under the cover of Covid.
2021 will be a year of disclosure.
That which is concealed, will be revealed.
That which is hidden, will be exposed.
THIS WILL BE A YEAR OF GLORIOUS SHAKING AND A PRELUDE TO AWAKENING.
It will be the best of times and the worst of times, a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
The LORD will exalt the humble and the humble will be exalted.
The LORD will will show Himself strong to those that honor Him.
Justice and judgement are coming to those who thought they could dishonor Him without consequence.
Sometimes the worst thing God can do is to give people what they want.
This will be the case in 2021.
In spite of what many prophetic voices are saying, I don’t believe President Trump will overturn the election. Nor do I think Biden will serve for any significant length of time.
The rebellious, arrogant and proud who wanted deception and loved darkness will experience the consequences of their actions.
There will be events and incidents that will simply have no rational possibility or logical explanation.
There will be signs and supernatural occurrences that will leave the most wise and learned scratching their heads in confusion.
‘Winds of change' are coming.
As a sign look for significant and unusual storms in early 2021.
God often uses the natural to reveal what He is doing in the invisible realm. Especially watch Europe and South America.
A 'changing of the guard' is coming to leadership, especially in the church.
The old wineskin is finished. It simply can't contain what the Lord is going to pour out.
Leaders are being brought forth who are more concerned with presence than programs, character than competition, consecration over coolness, spiritual authority over Sunday attendance, and the supernatural over social media.
This is the year where the Lord is dividing the church into the sheep and the goats. Between those who are fully committed to Him and those who prefer a comfortable, cultural Christianity.
There is the True Church of faithful Believers and then there are 'pseudobelievers' - those who were loosely connected to the vine but which never bore any fruit because there was no spiritual life in them.
They were around the Bride but never had a genuine love for the Bridegroom.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of churches will close and never reopen. It will be seen as a bad thing but actually it is simply burying the dead.
It is time for the Lord to purify his bride and prepare her for His coming.
The Lord will not tolerate a "show" in his name. He will not share his glory with any man. The only name that should be lifted up is Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is going to make Himself tangibly manifest and powerfully present among those who are seeking Him with a pure heart and a passionate pursuit. There will be signs and wonders, miracles, healing and deliverance on a scale the church has never seen before.
In 2021, God is placing before you an open door.
However, you are the one who will have to step through it.
Don't stand back passively waiting for perfect conditions.
Don't permit the enemy to limit you through lies and insecurity.
Move forward boldly.
Advance with a fierce faith and a Christ-filled confidence knowing that you are empowered by Heaven.
Mountains will move, giants will fall, breakthrough will come!
The stage is set.
The KING is on the move.
