[Editor's note: Below are the prophetic insights and words that Amanda Grace shared during her recent interview on ElijahStreams. We encourage you to read through them prayerfully and watch the episode right here for full context.]

Word of the Lord released on June 21, 2026:

The Power of Praise

Judah means "praise." Almighty God is the Lion of Judah. A church that can praise is a church that can push through. It's an effective church. It's effective in a higher level of warfare, influence, wisdom, and deliverance; it prospers at a greater level. A church that praises is the answer against the poison of the serpent that comes in subtly and sets the trap to paralyze the progress.

There must be a purpose to our praise. Praise has purpose. Praise is a weapon. Praise pushes through the resistance mounted by the enemy. Praise produces an atmospheric shift that opens gates and brings down obstacles for answers to push through. Praise allows the Lord to come inhabit with His presence, for God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3). He dwells there, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Praise produces freedom from the chains of heaviness that keep you tethered to the problem instead of persevering into the promise.

Praise produces in us a heart posture of humility before the Lord—of lowering our pride, humbling ourselves, and allowing the Lord to perfect in us His refinement, His perspective. Praise allows you to take on the perspective of your Father, for it calls you up higher. It postures you into a position of focusing on pursuing the face of the Lord, the presence of the Lord, and the will of our Father, elevating you to a far greater position in the spirit, which advances the natural.

When we praise, the enemy cannot as easily poach our words and plant them to produce what is perilous, what is ensnaring, what robs us of the portion and table our Father has prepared for us in the presence of our enemies. Our praise produces a life driven by purpose, because a posture of praise causes us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and ALL these things shall be added unto us (see Matthew 6:33).

Praise is a strategic position which gives us an advantage over the plans of the enemy. For Jesus said, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you" (Luke 10:19 KJV). Praise is a protective covering that combats the arrows and fiery darts of the wicked one. Part of the shield of faith is praise, because praise is produced from the roots of faith pushing toward the Father, toward the light, toward His power.

Praise is the byproduct of faith, partnering with a tongue that produces life and honors the Lord. For He sits enthroned in the highest position. Praise transitions us out of exalting the problems we see, the giants we face, the warfare that is waged, and legally edifies and elevates the One who has the power to deploy the answer and deliver you in victory. Praise produces in us a hunger to press in. When we praise in trial—in hardship—when we praise while we are pressed, it produces the oil that permeates every area of our lives, unleashing the anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage.

Unbelievers Radically Encountering Jesus

The Lord says, "This is the hour in your lives and the nation that—as the pressure mounts and the pressing occurs—the praise from [My] people will produce the oil of anointing that will breathe new life into what was dead. It will pivot what is on a path of compromise; it will pour the oil of healing upon what has been infected; it will produce renewal. Hearts of stone will turn to hearts of flesh.

"Gentle, humble spirits in this hour will come forth from those who were filled with pride [on] both sides—red and blue. Some of the most hardened will have a radical shift from the pressing, and it will produce those in the bluest cities, shouting that they have had a radical encounter with Jesus Christ, and they shall renounce their own ideologies that they have peddled for decades. One of the women of the view is about to experience such. News anchors who have loathed religion will radically meet Jesus Christ in this hour, including one who frequents the young Turks.

"This is the hour of the prodigals—in media, in the governorship, in Congress—being pressed and squeezed to produce a cleansing of what has held them hostage for years. Now [it] shall come pouring out in an hour of deliverance.

"[A] high-up at ABC shall have a radical encounter with the Lord, and it shall cause a paradigm shift at the head. One from the Saudi royal family will proclaim that it was Jesus Christ who rescued them and not Allah. Those who lead Indonesia and India shall now have radical encounters with Christ. They cannot ignore, nor will they dismiss, such a power, but will shout it to the globe.

What Must Happen for Revival to Occur

"For revival to occur," says the Lord, "what the establishment has built, the atheistic beast within the governments of the earth—that beast shall be put down in areas of Europe before the earth. And the religious establishment of Italy and Greece are about to encounter a spiritual earthquake from Me," says the Lord. "And it will fracture their dogma; it will split down what was built centuries ago upon the beliefs of man. The golden calf they have raised," says the Lord, "the bull they have elevated in this hour, shall be put down and subdued and torn down," says the Lord. (Photo via Pexels)

"And a branch shall arise unlike the others, and it shall split the trunk and fracture for a time the religious establishment; for the high regard they have so been held in, while they committed abominations secretly, shall be turned on its head," says the Lord. "And I the Lord shall take their robes and lift them up and expose their vault of secrets, and documents, and bribes, and blackmail, and idolatry that is done in the secret place. For the seat of jealousy shall arise, and one shall strike the other before Italy, before Greece, and before Spain," says the Lord.

No More Neutrality for Switzerland

"For Switzerland, soon, shall no longer be looked upon as a neutral place," says the Lord. "For they shall lean in the direction of the wind of socialism, religious socialism. And then I the Lord shall raise up out of Switzerland, out of Geneva, one who fears Me," says the Lord. "He is marked in a country of apathy. He shall arise fiery and full of conviction, and I the Lord shall place him for a time at the helm, and it shall shift the G7 summit," says the Lord. "It shall sift Geneva," says the Lord. "It shall cause their neighbors to feel the tremors of the spiritual and political earthquake that I the Lord shall trigger. And I the Lord shall raise up what looks to be coal. However, the great pressure shall turn it into a valuable stone. The name shall be revealed," says the Lord, "in this season."

Spain, the Inquisition, and a Cry for Jesus

And says the Lord, "By next year, the leadership of Spain shall disintegrate and darkness shall fall upon that country.

"And the alluring aroma of hatred for My people has allowed you to eat the bitter scroll of persecution, and it shall sour your economy, and the people shall cry out. For the scales shall lift, and they shall see what your vendetta has done, O leadership of Spain.

"For the Spanish Inquisition attempts to arise in this time. The enemy, through a submitted leader, has found a door to attempt to resurrect another inquisition. However, I the Lord thy God this day say, it shall not be an inquisition against My people, but against you, O leader of Spain, against the coalition of leaders of the Euro who attend such summits.

"In this time, inquisition shall open against them, and they shall be driven out," says the Lord. "And as that occurs in Europe, they shall march in the streets and cry out for Jesus Christ, for they have become anemic spiritually. The blood of My Son was rejected, and it has caused anemia across those nations."

God's Rod of Iron Striking Down Evil Governments

And says the Lord, "I shall now take the iron—the rod of iron that rules decisively against leaders of nations—and I shall strike their governing halls, and I shall strike their parliaments, and I the Lord shall strike their capitals, and it shall resonate and cause what was anemic to now be fortified. For their persecution shall be the charges against them."

Ishmael Shall Turn in Ishmael

And says the Lord, "As they yell 'Allah' in the streets of Ireland, in the streets of England, in the streets of the city hubs of your nation, O America, the name Adonai shall start as a whisper and turn into a thunderous battle cry that will cause their treachery, and their laundering, and their website of terror. What is hidden deep in their mosques—the blueprints for takeovers, for infiltration, for terror attacks—I the Lord thy God, by My Spirit, shall compel their own to turn them in," says the Lord.

"Ishmael shall turn in Ishmael, for the Imams will say, 'We have never seen anything like this. Our own have turned on us.' And that is when," says the Lord, "My sword shall enter and pierce through their leaders, and shall spiritually pierce their financial gate. And that sword of recompense shall block their financial avenues and reroute and drive their political plan with their commodities out into the open. A breached birth in Dearborn," says the Lord. "The feet shall come first and cause a blockage of their networks," says the Lord.

"The infiltration shall turn into a reverse exodus; it shall be called 'highly unusual,'" says the Lord. "For the infiltrators shall become the detectors, shall become the whistle blowers, shall become the reverse engineers of plots to take out whole city blocks," says the Lord.

Pray for Protection in Texas and Florida over Their Governments and Airspace

"Texas, Florida—high alert!" says the Lord. "It's on the move. Destruction has gone out, terror has been deployed, and they shall attempt at city halls and the homes of senators, mayors, governors. They shall attempt a multi-tier attack in order to hack into the governorship. Intercede and pray for the governors of Florida and Texas, for there is a bounty that is coming due to stop the standard that they have raised and sabotage the advance. Close to home," says the Lord. "Watch close to home!" (Photo via Pxhere)

"Airspace shall be violated in Florida," says the Lord. "Explosives in the air shall reemerge in more than one place," says the Lord. "Washington D.C. was the test," says the Lord. "Greater shall attempt to come, and another nation known for such shall be tied to the incident," says the Lord.

Intercede for the Uncovering of a Plot in New Mexico

"New Mexico," says the Lord. "A plot uncovered out of New Mexico with points on the map for a very large attack that was plotted from areas that are dry and desert. Intercede [so that] it is uncovered in this hour," says the Lord. "For they will try [something] similar again," says the Lord.

European Revolution

"A revolution is percolating in Europe—a clash. The Battle of Vienna looks to arise in this time," says the Lord, "within Europe. A battle and an attempted inquisition shall arise. The outcry from the Middle East shall attempt to corner a European coalition that is drawing a line in the sand," says the Lord. "There shall be a standoff and a showdown.

"The funnel system of finance that has gone underground through Europe to fund that terror that is about to emerge shall be found and pinched shut, the resource flow cut off. One of the major banks out of Europe shall be implicated," says the Lord.

"England," says the Lord, "as America celebrates its freedom from such with a bang and a pop, intercede that this is stopped. For it ties back to major battlegrounds of the Revolutionary War, attempting to come full circle in this time, with serpents from the Middle East, Mexico, and South America—the masterminds of such crimes.

"England," says the Lord. "Amalek in this hour will attempt an outcry and a push to break the neck of England," says the Lord. "Out of Parliament will arise a small but mighty core of those who discern the signs of the times, and who are lighting the match to revolution. For as America went through its own revolution to free itself from England, England will now endure similar to free itself of the bondage it willfully walked into to be cuffed and chained.

"For out of the belly of Parliament shall arise an outcry, a great outcry that will echo across England. And a resolution shall come forth that will send the infiltrators of the Middle East into a frenzy. For there has been an infiltration to control part of the government's body of England, and they shall attempt to break those parts of the body in order to stop England from breakthrough. England is about to endure an attempted large-scale attack meant to, in fear, put down a revolution that is percolating out of England. For faith shall arise and shall deafen the voice of the Imams for a time. London and the Ferris wheel," says the Lord, "to Big Ben."

Political Ticking Time-Bomb in Israel

The Lord says, "I am God; there is no other. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last. I am He who liveth and died, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.

"Pursue holiness," says the Lord. "Pursue consecration, pursue My ways," says the Lord. "For My ways are higher than your ways," says the Lord.

"There is a political ticking-time bomb in Israel," says the Lord. "Intercede and pray, for if that has its way, Israel shall be further chained to darkness for a time. It will take repentance to neutralize. Such an ox that has led is about to make its final push to topple networks of darkness, and it shall be symbolic," says the Lord. "As this occurs, there shall be an attempt on the life of high leadership in Israel," says the Lord. "Intercede and pray, for if it prematurely succeeds, those waiting in the wings will plunge Israel further away from Me," says the Lord.

"There is a coup that is set," says the Lord. "America and Israel, a coup has been set—an overthrow in the Knesset, and in Congress, a coup in Cabinets," says the Lord. "The timing of such shall be historic," says the Lord.

An Attempted National Crisis

"Around the time of September," says the Lord. "There shall be an attempted national crisis with the heads and Congress," says the Lord, "that shall go up the East Coast to New York City. The attempted attack shall be symbolic. It shall attempt to blow a hole in the foundation; it shall attempt to strike leadership; it shall attempt to send Congress into chaos; it shall attempt to cause a national emergency and mourning," says the Lord. (Photo via Pexels)

"Certain deals cannot be made," says the Lord. "The compromises now will cost you when this time comes," says the Lord. "Intercede and pray, for I the Lord shall intervene to limit the shaking they plot nationally. For they are aiming for the head and the vision of the eagle," says the Lord, "in their scope," says the Lord. "It shall be attached to a symbolic time of your nation heading to the mid-terms," says the Lord.

"They shall attempt tragedy within that window—September to the midterms," says the Lord. "An attempt to pluck the eagle out of the sky, to cause the nation to watch it fall, in order to reverse course in America and march it back to the slave block. And it shall be those who were red but have now made a deal that shall be caught assisting in this intricate plot to take power. Intercede and pray," says the Lord, "for it can be thwarted and exposed before the nation and cause the nation to humble itself even more, and leadership alike. For the enemies within shall be caught in communications that will shock the nation," says the Lord.

Press in and the Oil Will Flow

"This is a time of a great push, a pressure. It is a time for MY people to press in. It is a time where the oil will flow, where those who press through in faith and power in the battle will receive great victories, great blessing, great provision—a double portion. Those doors shall open for those who have stayed the course," says the Lord, "walked faithfully in My Word. For the voices who have spoken truth, the truth of My word, the truth of the spiritual war in this nation—who have walked in power and humility—shall be amplified and elevated in this hour. Opportunities shall now suddenly come. Others' disobedience shall become your blessing. The wealth of the wicked shall come into the hands of the righteous in incredible ways that shall be a testimony that I the Lord move the heart and compel who I please to do My work," says the Lord.

"The enemy is out in this hour to take prey, to attempt to take down those who have stayed the course. Rebuke those attacks, petition Me, the Lord God Almighty, for judgment against the devourer, and he shall be sent in retreat. For what the enemy attempts to lure shall be broken, and he [will be] sent in a far greater retreat," says the Lord. "Your inheritances are about to come. Those in other countries shall recognize whom I have called and greatly bless them," says the Lord.

"The Church is in an hour of pressing and crushing and revealing. It must choose this day the road ahead. For from this crushing, a powerful group shall arise, more fiery, speaking the truth of My Word—unapologetically speaking what I have commissioned them to speak. Their voices are being amplified in an hour of friendly fire and guerrilla warfare. They shall be a voice of power that gets the attention of the nation.

The Plot Behind the Conservatives Will Be Found Out and Ideologies Broken

"Those in this hour on the conservative side," says the Lord, "who are proclaiming for all to hear about what political party they are leaving is a bravado that shall soon be found out. For the plot behind such—the root stretches across the oceans to ideologies out of the Middle East and Russia. A serpent has arisen that has traveled to America with an ideology and words that are not conservative at all, that are radical in nature, that are a part of a web that actually stretches and meets the radical ideology of socialism and communism, satanic at its root. And these two webs have intermingled.

"And those on the web that have been caught," says the Lord, "do not realize they have been caught yet. They believe they have been enlightened by the toxin the multi-legged beast has so injected. They will soon realize how entrapped they are by an ideology that, on the surface, may appear extremely conservative. However, underneath are the ideologies and purposes of dictators and God haters—those who have been waging the greatest war right now of ideology, which has stretched farther across the globe than bombs and jets," says the Lord.

"The puppet strings will more and more be revealed, as those speaking such are enslaved to a master that will soon attempt to take prey out of their own families," says the Lord. "They play Russian roulette right now—spiritually and in the public space—with a dangerous snake pit that has burrowed from the United States to the Middle East and Russia. The king cobra of this web shall rear up for a strike. As this occurs, a rod of iron shall strike its tail first and slow its movement, and then you shall see," says the Lord, "the removing of the head, as a lion and an eagle shall bring a two-fold attack that will split in two the philosophy and cause a great political backdraft across the oceans, back to the area of its origin. In the midst, you shall see Russia shake, for the time of judgment and recompense is drawing close," says the Lord, "and those crowns of philosophy and ideology and leadership alike shall be broken," says the Lord.

Amanda Grace and her husband Chris are the founders of Ark of Grace Ministries (located in the beautiful Hudson Valley), walking out the commission in Mark 16:15: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." They minister to all of God's creation, both people and animals. They prophetically minister and teach, breaking down the Word of God (which is living and active) by examining the Hebrew and Greek roots of the Bible, as well as the times when it was written, to understand the true context of the Scriptures and apply them to life. Another way that Amanda and Chris minister at Ark of Grace is through their animal Sanctuary, where they take in lost, abandoned, disabled animals and show them the love of God. Amanda also takes care of her husband Chris who sustained a traumatic brain injury in January 2019 and miraculously survived. They have both experienced and understand the incredible power of Almighty God and how he redeems! They teach others through their testimony, biblical teaching, the prophetic, and life lessons of caring for the residents of their animal sanctuary how the Lord can move in every circumstance of life.
