A Prophetic Christmas: Speaking God’s Word to the Nations

 

Person declaring God’s word in prophetic prayer


A Prophetic Christmas

"Then I was told, ‘You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.’" – Revelation 10:11

   The Christmas season reveals prophecy in motion. Jesus arrived through prophecy, a virgin conceived and bore a son called Emmanuel, meaning God with us. He is also named Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, with the government resting upon His shoulder. Scripture declares that when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth the Son, born of a woman, born under the law. Christmas, therefore, is not only a celebration, it is a prophetic fulfillment. Revelation 10:11 reminds us that prophecy does not end; it must be spoken again to peoples, nations, tribes, cities, states, and countries.

   Sometimes the Word of God must be repeated, spoken again until it is received, believed, and clearly understood. A prophetic Christmas awakens the voice to declare God’s truth in every generation.  Prophecy operates through three dimensions for practical life application: foretelling, forth-telling, and forthcoming. These align thinking, theology, and treatment with divine purpose.

Firstly: Foretelling (Future)

   Prophecy as foretelling reveals things to come. As people become still and know God, the Holy Spirit brings remembrance and shows future matters. God speaks through dreams, visions, Scripture, people, words of wisdom, words of knowledge, prophecy, tongues, and interpretation.

   While many seek future insight through various means, true foretelling comes from God alone. Just as Isaiah saw the Messiah centuries before His birth, foretelling aligns thoughts (Thinking) with divine direction for abundant life.

Secondly: Forth-Telling (Present)

   Prophecy as forth-telling declares God’s heart and mind in the present moment. It speaks what God desires now. This is the proclamation of the Word of the Lord and the singing of the song of the Lord in everyday life.

   Forth-telling shapes words (Theology) to guide choices, relationships, and actions with harmony, wisdom, and purpose.

Thirdly: Forthcoming (Past)

   Prophecy as forthcoming addresses the past. It surfaces what has been hidden not for judgment, guilt, shame, or condemnation, but for healing and wholeness. This dimension invites honesty, transparency, and authenticity. People become forthcoming with truth, confessing and releasing thoughts, words, and actions that were not the highest and best. Lessons are learned, blessings are received, and healing begins.

   What was done in darkness comes to light not to harm, but to restore. This transformation leads to optimal health, harmonious relationships, and overflowing wealth through aligned action (Treatment). A prophetic Christmas invites all three dimensions thinking through foretelling, theology through forth-telling, and treatment through forthcoming to unlock the essentials for abundant and eternal life. The call still stands: Prophesy again.

đŸ“– Reflection: Which dimension of prophecy—future, present, or past—is God inviting you to engage this season?

đŸ’¡ Action Step: Speak one prophetic word today that aligns your thoughts, words, and actions with God’s purpose for your life.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
