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.

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

  You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will."  Ephesians 1:11    Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.                                                    Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father?  An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly,...
