There are seasons when the Lord begins to whisper the same message to multiple prophetic voices, not because they’ve conferred with one another, but because heaven is sounding an alarm.
Over the last several weeks, I’ve watched this happen among our intercessors, prophets, and seers at Awakening House of Prayer in Davie, FL. One after another began sharing how they sensed a new glory coming in January. Not a fleeting moment. Not a passing sense of renewal. A shift in the weight of God’s presence.
At first, I took note. Then I heard it again. And again. The consistency of it began to carry a weight of its own. When God starts speaking to different people in the same spiritual family about the same thing, there’s a reason.
Now here’s the kicker: The Holy Spirit showed me this right before He showed everybody else. I asked Him what to read and He told me, “Psalm 24.”
The Psalm God Highlighted for This House
Psalm 24 is not a casual psalm. It is a psalm of ascent, a psalm of approach, a psalm that confronts the gates of a city and the gates of the human heart. When the Spirit repeatedly highlights a passage like this, it signals that we are approaching a threshold moment.
Verse 7 says:
“Lift up your heads, O you gates;
Be lifted up, you everlasting doors;
And the King of glory shall come in.”
This is not just an announcement. It is an instruction. You don’t “lift up gates” unless something is trying to come through. You don’t “prepare the doors” unless a visitation is approaching.
As I prayed into January, I sensed we need to make room. A new measure of His glory is drawing near. Not glory as an idea. Not glory as a concept. Glory as presence. Glory as weight. Glory as movement.
And Psalm 24 began to unfold like a prophetic blueprint.
A Call to Clean Hands and Pure Hearts
Before the gates are lifted, the psalm addresses the posture of those who stand before God: “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? He who has clean hands and a pure heart.”
This is not a call to perfection. This is a call to preparation. But I knew some couldn’t come with us. We saw a divine pruning and welcomed it.
Whenever God draws closer, the Spirit begins stirring a desire for consecration. You feel a tug toward holiness. A nudge to lay distractions aside. A sensitivity to the condition of the heart. This is how the Spirit prepares a people for glory; not through condemnation, but through invitation.
And I believe that’s what we’re sensing now. There is a cleansing, not of shame, but of readiness.
The glory that is coming will not land on cluttered altars. It will rest on hearts that have made room.
Why January?
January is a gate.
We tend to think of the first month of the year as a calendar event, but spiritually speaking, it is a threshold. It is the crossing of one season into another. And gates are always contested places. Gates are places of decision, alignment, and intention.
God is not calling us to stumble into the new year. He’s calling us to step into it with awareness. What we bring through the gate matters. What we release before the gate matters. What we expect at the gate matters.
Several of our intercessors have independently shared that they sense an increase — a thickening of God’s presence — coming into the new year. I felt it too. And Psalm 24 began to resonate as the explanation.
Something is approaching. Something weighty. Something holy. Something that will require lifted heads, open gates, and prepared hearts.
A House in Alignment With Heaven’s Timing
The fact that multiple prophets, intercessors, and seers in our spiritual family heard the same thing is significant. This is not coincidence. This is corporate preparation.
God often speaks to individuals when He’s dealing with individuals. He speaks to families when He’s dealing with families. But He speaks to a house when He’s getting ready to move through that house.
This is a house word. This is a corporate word. This is an alignment word. The Holy Spirit is getting our hearts ready for something fresh He wants to do among us.
What Is This Glory Coming to Do?
I don’t believe this new glory is coming simply for refreshing, though refreshing will come. I believe it is coming to:
-
Re-anchor us in His presence in a deeper way
-
Shift spiritual atmospheres, both personally and corporately
-
Break the residue of old battles
-
Awaken a new hunger
-
Clarify prophetic sight
-
Recommission believers who thought they missed their moment
-
Strengthen altars for what the Lord wants to build next
Glory always precedes movement. Glory always precedes instruction. Glory always precedes advancement. And I believe January marks the beginning of a new season of divine movement for this house and for this region.
Our Response: Lift the Gates
This is not the moment to drift. This is not the moment to become passive. This is not the moment to let the year end in a spiritual slump. The King of glory is not coming to visit lightly.
He is coming to rest on a people who are ready.
I believe we are standing at the threshold of something sacred. Something we haven’t seen before. Something that will require sensitivity, humility, and readiness.
The Spirit of God is moving across our intercessors, our prophets, our seers, and our spiritual family with one unified message:
“Prepare. A new glory is coming in January.”
Psalm 24 is the call. January is the gate. Glory is the promise. We are making more room for Him.
