Word released on June 23, 2025:
The Snake's Head Will Be Revealed
Christy and I have this saying we say to each other after a day, a week, or a season of warfare: "Watch, because suddenly the snake's head will be revealed." It's happened like clockwork over the years. After intense seasons of warfare, or even just a crazy day of warfare, like clockwork, the next day or in a short period of time, the snake's head would be revealed. The "snake's head" might be that email that comes in, revealing what's been spoken about you. It might be that intimidation—that threat. Whatever it may be, it's the snake's head revealing itself. And it reveals that the enemy has been warring against you, and why.
I say that to get to this point: I believe we've been in a window of time of tests, trials, and warfare. When we stepped into January 2025, I felt it; it was going to be a faith test. It was going to be a test of whether I'd stick out my calling (stick to the plan), whether I would stay on mission (the one God gave me), and whether I would remain strong, or crumble and fall. Because you see, there's been an attack against Believers since January that has been on another level. And that attack has been designed to surround you on every single side until you crumble.
Have You Felt This?
It's like when Jesus was led into the wilderness and had to battle in His mind to combat the enemy's tactics over and over. We've been in a season where the enemy's been relentlessly trying to give us easy ways out, second options, and off-ramps at every turn, trying to get us to back out of the call of God, choose the easy thing, or create Ishmaels along the way. Have you felt this?
The warfare has been intense. The shadow has increased. The slander has increased. Robbery has come from every single side: health issues, bank accounts depleted, and doors shutting. It has been relentless. (Photo via StockCake)
Yet at the same time, I believe God wants to see what we will do in this moment, because He knows what's coming. It's been a Romans 8:18 moment, where we've seen a whole new level of pain, but it's going to be followed by glory.
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." (Romans 8:18 NIV)
Turning a Spiritual Corner
What I want to share with you is what I believe God is going to do from July onwards.
In Luke 4:14, it says that after Jesus came out of the wilderness, He returned in the power of the Spirit. I believe that as we step into July, we're about to see the glory revealed in the very areas where there's been robbery. We're about to see the glory revealed in the very places where there were tests. We are coming out of that place.
You might be thinking, "Well, this doesn't make sense. The world's in chaos. Things are going crazy." Yes, those things will continue. But I'm speaking to you, as a Believer, about what God is doing in your life and in the life of the Church. I believe we are entering a shift, a turning of the tide. I believe that, starting in July, we're turning a spiritual corner.
For those who have said, "Okay, God, I'm not going to fight against You. I'm not going to resist this process, because in it there's protection. In it, You've been breaking me out of comforts, breaking me out of mindsets and mentalities I've carried that only warfare could have confronted." I believe we're now beginning to see the glory that He has been wanting to reveal and showcase in our lives this whole time.
A Strange Contradiction
I believe the next six months will be a strange contradiction. I believe in the next six months things will look wild and chaotic in the natural. We're going to see things happen and erupt in the financial markets and on the world stage. Things will continue to intensify and look debilitating, even hopeless.
Yet the strange contradiction will be this: somehow, you'll feel like your role has flipped. Before, you felt safer in the natural while everything was falling apart spiritually; now it's like the reverse. You'll feel an internal strength and clarity in the Spirit, even while the world's systems shake around you. God is beginning to reveal Himself on your behalf. (Photo via Pixabay)
I believe we're in a massive turnaround season for those who will reach out and say, "Yes, okay, God." There is going to be a massive turnaround financially for the Church. We are entering into days where God is bringing in a billion-soul harvest. Things are ripening. Revival is breaking out in messy ways but glorious ways. In these next six months, the Lord is declaring over you: "You're turning a corner. You're going to see the glory now. Where you've seen shaking, where you've seen suffering, you will now experience My goodness, My mercy, My favor."
It's going to be the Psalm 23 moment, where the Lord seats you at the table in the presence of your enemies and anoints your head with oil. Get ready, Body of Christ, because we are entering into the days of the great contradiction. The shaking will continue, but now it will begin to reveal the glory in your life. These are the days of leaving the wilderness endued with power.
And just like I said at the beginning, watch for the snake's head, because in this moment, God is not just exposing it, He's empowering you to crush it. The very thing that's come after you is about to be under your feet. The warfare has been real, the pressure has been intense, but now comes the revealing. The snake's head is exposed, and it will not have the final word... you will.
