PREPARE TO ADVANCE
An urgent prophetic word for this hour by Barry C. Maracle
I believe we have two months to prepare to get ready for the largest shift of authority in history. The prayers of the Saints have been filling the incense bowls and God is about to add His Fire from the altar and send it to the earth! I have a strong sense that late November and December 2026 will be significant for the advance of God’s kingdom. I am submitting the timing for discernment, but I cannot shake the urgency of this word. Church, get ready.
The sons of Issachar understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do.
We need that same clarity now. The enemy wants our attention because if he can get your attention he will have your intention. If he can keep us absorbed in fear, distraction, and speculation, we could miss this moment that God is giving us. We do not need to know everything the enemy is saying or doing. We actually do need to hear the Word of the Lord and… OBEY IT!
Obedience is our greatest weapon in this season.
A while ago I went into an open vision, it was quite sobering.
I saw principalities over regions, with tentacle-like cords reaching into people’s hearts. I understood those cords to represent misplaced trust: dependence on systems, power, security, and the spirit of this age. I saw those connections being torn away by an Angel of Destruction that we have seen in other places in the Word of God. This Angel showed up at the deliverance of Israel from Egypt. We saw this Angel when Jericho came down and we saw this Angel when King Jehoshaphat was delivered from the hands of three armies, where he was outnumbered, out maneuvered and was about to be overpowered… BUT GOD! Now that very Angel is about to show up again!
Daniel 7:21&22 says, “I saw the horn (the enemy) warring against the saints and prevailing against them, UNTIL, the Ancient of Days came and made a judgement of FAVOUR, on behalf of the Saints of the Most High God and the time came for the Saints to possess the Kingdom! So to continue on with the vision, I saw the principalities being pulled down and when they did, I saw many people affected at various degrees, some very little but some, who were more connected to the enemy, I saw that they had a catastrophic heart failure.
This was the warning, to cut and sever any ties to the enemy. The enemy has been trying to strengthen his connection to us and we must cry out to the Lord for a Grace to Repent all the way through.
Then a couple of days ago, I woke up from a dream where I saw a copper wire, I knew it was a grounding wire. The ground wire sends the current to the ground so electricity does not flow to an area. In electrical terms it’s called bonding. The enemy in many of our lives has been successful in causing us to be bonded to the things of the earth and thus not having the availability to receive the Power of God into our lives. What we must do is rewire and become bonded to God and the things that are from above and we will not give the enemy any access to bring his twisted power near us! The question is, What are we bonded to? This is the hour to untwist those connections, to repent and release what has held us, and bind ourselves to the Lord. God has no desire to see anyone be a casualty of God’s liberation. What the Lord is allowing us to do in this season of preparation is break agreement with fear, the spirit of the age and the powers of darkness so we can be free to advance in this harvest season.
Then at the same time many have been in a hidden, painful process. Think of the caterpillar inside the chrysalis. From the outside, it can look as though nothing good is happening. Yet within that confined place, a transformation is underway. DO NOT GIVE UP NOW! Do not mistake the process for the end of your story. He did not bring you this far, to just bring you this far! Ask God for the grace to finish strong. The strength you gain as you emerge is part of what prepares you to soar to new heights.
And when the moment to move comes, remember King Jehoshaphat. Surrounded and outnumbered, afraid with no strategy that could save Judah. He didn’t call for his military strategists or his governors, he called a prayer meeting and sought the Lord. King Jehoshaphat said, “I don’t know what to do, but Lord, my eyes are on you”. Then Judah arose and went onto the battlefield with worship on their lips and saying, “Our God is Great and His Loving Kindness endures forever”. As they declared the Word of the Lord on the battlefield, God sent ambushes against the enemy and they began to fight amongst themselves and began to completely destroy each other. Hear the Word of The Lord, God is about to do it again! The enemies that have been vehemently against the advancement of the Kingdom of God are about to receive a visit from the Lord and they will begin to fight against each other. The key is to weight, to when you see this in late November and all through December and begin to advance according to Deuteronomy 28:7, “As the enemy is being defeated before your face, he will begin to flee in seven other directions”.
We are about to Advance, Take-back, Takeover and begin to Occupy and according to Isaiah 61:6(AMPC), “The Glory once that of your captors has now become… Yours!"
Like Judah, we must take our place and find ourselves on the battlefield, but with complete assurance that the battle belongs to the Lord!
God started His judgement in the house of The Lord, for the last seven years and now the shaking is about to hit the world systems of evil and deception. Like I said, I believe we will see institutions that have resisted the purposes of God turn against one another. When they do we must advance. The world is about to receive a new governance. The Ekklesia is about to arise and shine in direct response to the evil of the day and the deep darkness on the people.
We are in a season of The Final Restoration of all things and because of that we are about to see His Greater Glory manifested. This is the time that the whole world will see the manifestation of the mature sons and daughters of God! We all know that the scripture says that the whole world is filled with the Glory of the Lord, but in Habakuk 2:14 says this, There will be a time when the whole earth will be full of the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord.
We are at this apex moment in the Kingdom, where the critical mass of the Body of Christ now has the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord and because of that we are about to see released, by Faith, the Greater Glory of The Lord into the world.
The Glory of The latter house, shall be greater than the Glory of the former says the Lord and we will see in this season the former and the latter Rain/Reign of the Spirit come down in one month!
We will see at the end of November and all through December, The Greater works that Jesus said we will do! I am talking about the Church rising up in authority and demonstrating great Power! We will see limbs grow out on a regular basis! Signs, Wonders, outstanding miracles, Deliverances and the largest harvest of souls the planet has ever seen!
When the shaking comes, it is our cue to listen carefully and be ready to advance. We cannot celebrate at the demise of our enemy, because one thing the Lord promises, that if we do, His judgement will be cut short.
So prepare now. Sever the ties that keep pulling your heart away from God. Cast your cares upon Him. Put away gossip, accusation, and compromise. Stay close to Jesus. Love your enemies. Strengthen your brothers and sisters. Know the Word, speak the Word, and obey the Word.
I hear the Lord saying: “Be courageous, very courageous and Do not be afraid of the battlefield. Proximity is Power, so draw close to Me. Hear Me. Take the place I have given you. Worship and obey, I will show you the way and what you should do.”
Church, this is not the hour to shrink back.
Prepare your heart.
Take your place.
Lift your voice and remember the battle belongs to the Lord!
The Roar That releases The Sword of The Lord is upon us!
It is now time to possess the Kingdom and make the Kingdoms of this world the Kingdom of our God.
So get ready to… ADVANCE!
