A Coming Reprieve, Unusual Peace, and Celebration Among Families This Holiday Season
Intro: During an ElijahStreams broadcast on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, Pastor Hank Kunneman released an uplifting and encouraging prophetic word concerning this upcoming holiday season of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Through the Spirit of the Lord, Pastor Hank prophesied that this Thanksgiving we would see an unusual peace and a reprieve from the things that this nation has faced.
A sign of this would be through individual families, where there will be family gatherings that will be peaceful and with great celebration. This time of coming together and peace will carry us into 2027, where a measure of Heaven will touch the earth. This will cause sudden and great change in the earth, involving changes in leaders of nations and peace among certain nations where there has been war.
As you read through this transcript, prophesy and declare in agreement with this prophetic word that you will also experience peace and celebrations with your family this holiday season!
Word of the Lord released by Pastor Hank Kunneman live on ElijahStreams, hosted by Steve Shultz, on August 25, 2026:
A Coming Together of Families This Thanksgiving and Christmas
"This Thanksgiving in the United States of America, and even Christmas, shall not be with what this nation has faced. For there is coming a reprieve and there is a coming together, a noise and a shaking, that is going to begin to happen in the earth realm that is going to manifest to the point where it's going to begin to bring together things, including your families."
What the Lord just described—you're going to see some family gatherings at Thanksgiving that you never thought would happen, or some of you are dreading it, and there is actually going to be a peace that you're going to see through this Thanksgiving and this Christmas. There's even going to be a celebration.
And God says, "This does not just mark these holidays for you that are watching for your families, but this is what God is declaring and releasing in the earth.
A Strange Peace, an Amazing Light, and a Reset in the Earth
"There is a peace that is coming against the spirit of war, and this peace will accelerate at the time. And when you see it, it shall be around Thanksgiving of this nation, where you're to give thanks. Strange peace will begin to fill the earth, and it will carry into '27.
"But then Christmas shall be filled with an amazing grace," says the Lord, "an amazing light that shall shine, that shall begin to expose at a higher level—not just expose," but God says, "show with this light where there is that which has been hidden in darkness and those who have been perpetrators of the darkness. And this light shall not just shine, but it shall bring forth the rendering of judgment and the day of reckoning," says the Lord, "against those who thought that they could escape another year.
"It will accelerate, not just through this peace at Thanksgiving but this unusual Christmas," says the Lord, "that shall bring celebration, celebration and spoils to those of you," says the Lord, "who have been in battle. And I even speak over this nation who has been at war; this too will begin to shift in the earth. And I will reset the earth, and I will turn Iran into a nation not of war, not in the grips of what would be fragments of a regime of old and that which they think would arise. (Photo via Pexels)
"There will be sudden change in the earth. Pay attention to leaders of nations; pay attention to nations and how they will change. And there will come an unusual peace," says the Lord.
"But, also, watch those that they said would never be elected in their nation. They will be elected, and they will be a gift to the nations that they are being elected in," says the Lord. "For I'm going to do something. You've seen what the tyrants of the earth have looked like. Now you are going to see those who have been chosen of Me in certain nations—even some who know Me who are public, but some in their private times have come to know Me.
"This will be revealed in this coming season of '27, of a measure of Heaven that will touch the earth, that you'll see that there is a significant shift that has begun and is accelerating," says the Lord. "So do not think things will not change or have not changed. I will show you with the things that I have just spoken, but many surprises that are yet to come," says the Lord, "for I am working and moving at this time.

The Spoils of War: God's Promise to Those Who Have Been Through a Harsh Season
Intro: We have entered into the hour of receiving great spoils of victory! This is what was prophesied by Pastor Hank Kunneman on Sunday, September 6, 2026. In this prophecy, the Spirit of the Lord reveals a great unlocking of treasures that were stolen and held back by the powers of darkness that will now be released back upon the people. Nations and regions of people that have endured great conflicts will now begin to see things shift.
And as we head into the new year on the Gregorian calendar of 2027, the effects of evil that have oppressed the people will begin to lose their hold as God's presence touches the earth. We will see justice on a mass scale as the Spirit of God brings great exposure to human trafficking, and the children will be rescued and found alive as a sign of this new season of liberty!
Keep praying. Keep standing. Keep believing. We will see the goodness of the Lord!
Prophetic word released by Pastor Hank Kunneman on September 6, 2026, at 9:00 AM, during the Sunday service at Lord of Hosts Church, Omaha, NE:
The Spoils of Victory and a Great Shift
"This is My promise unto those who have been through the harsh season: there are spoils of victory!
"And as the sound of a Jewish new year arises in the earth, and the sounds of midnight [on] the Gregorian calendar, you have entered into the sounds and the season of manifestation. Great, great, great spoils from the battles, the wars, the conflicts that the earth and you, My people, have been in," says the living God.
Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord, for the sound of unlocking in the spirit realm for these beautiful people and for the nations of the earth now.
"The treasures of darkness, the things that the enemy thought that he could hold onto—the oil of the earth, the economies of the earth, the people of the earth—there's a release of the hidden treasures of darkness." (Photo via StockCake)
Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord.
I want you to pronounce it over your life. Just say, "Lord God, I'm coming into the spoils of victory... every battle I faced, every conflict I face."
"That which America, Canada, Australia, Russia, Ukraine—even in Iran and Cuba, Venezuela, the nations of the earth—there is a sound of unlocking. It's the sound of great victory, the sounds of the spoils of war that mark an end of certain wars in the earth, a season of great conflict where it seemed as though the enemy had the upper hand.
"There is a great shift, a great shift, and I say to you," says the Spirit of God, "it is not coming; it is here. The shift is among you!"
It's Payday! Heaven Shall Touch Earth in 2027
I am seeing something very interesting. The Lord says, "Wait to prophesy it." But I can tell you this: I am seeing surrenders all over the earth. I see, literally, soldiers with weapons, laying them down.
What is this that has come before my eyes, living God?
God says, "A great and unusual peace... and these are but signs to mark these surrenders—the enemy laying down their arms. It shall be proof of what I speak. It is not time for the enemies to arise in victory; they've had their day. Now it is payday," says the living God. "And you will receive, as beneficiary, of those who have stood in a place of hostility and conflicts unjustly. You'll receive the spoils of the battle.
"Therefore, close your mouth, and do not complain about the conditions that you see and experience at this time. For the shift is not coming; it is here, and it will carry you through as you celebrate a new season, a new year. And the striking of midnight of your clocks upon the day that you say 'New Year,' these things will begin to escalate, and Heaven shall touch the earth in '27, and you will not see the effects of the leaven, the sin, the tares, the snares of those who have perpetrated evil. They will not have the hold that they've had."
Justice Against Those Who Have Touched the Children: Trafficking Exposed
I see something else... God, why am I seeing this?
I see on a mass scale children with tape on their mouths—I see it, God—and handcuffed and in cages. Suddenly they shall be free, and the world will see, for there will be the day of reckoning for those who have touched the children! And there will not be a mistrial in the justice of God in this day!
I can't get this out of my eyes... sorry. No, I'm not sorry. God is about to show the freedom of the children, but He's [also] about to show the arrests and the justice against those who have touched the children. And your cameras will see it, your news will have to report it.
"And this will be part of what I speak of," says the Lord, "is the Lion is roaring with justice!"
Law enforcement is going to shift because of what is about to be revealed with the trafficking at another level, and the exposure of God. Law enforcement will need to be ready, because it is going to be on a mass scale—the delivering of the children. I'm serious. This is going to be huge. And children that have been missing for years, that they thought were dead, are going to be found alive. This is going to be an amazing moment of the justice of God proving to us that we're in a new season of liberty.

Recapturing a Generation: A Season of Great Medical Breakthroughs and the Spoils of War
Intro: Do not be given in to the noise and rhetoric of fear and unbelief in this time! On Friday, September 11, 2026, Pastor Hank Kunneman released a powerful prophetic word concerning this crucial season, where the Lord of hosts made a point of recapturing a generation back to Himself.
The Spirit of the Lord is cautioning His people not to come into agreement with the noise of the media and proverbs of the land, but instead to remember what God has said: This is a season of HIS terms and HIS justice, and those who have stood for Him, despite the opposition, will now begin to experience the spoils of war. The enemy is being stripped of the things that he has used in an attempt to hold the nations of the earth and a generation in captivity, but now God is bringing HIS justice to release a divine liberty! (Photo via Pexels)
We will see this new liberty manifest through medical breakthroughs of light technology to cure mental diseases and disorders, and certain physical conditions that were presumed to be incurable.
This is the time of the goodness of God overtaking His people!
Word of the Lord released by Pastor Hank Kunneman on September 11, 2026, at 7:00 PM, during Opening the Heavens Conference at Lord of Hosts Church, Omaha, NE:
Do Not Fear: This Is God's Time, and He Is Moving!
The Spirit of God says, "There has been a sound that has come up into the ears of the Lord Sabaoth, and the sound that He has heard is from the people of the earth who have spoken much fear, and they have fear mongered, and it has grieved the heart of the Ancient of Days."
And God would say, "Why do you fear? For I have said to you that this is My time, and that I'm arising [not] because of the prayers of the many who have prayed, even though there has been much prayer. But it has been the sound of a remnant, it has been the sound of the suffering, it has been the sound of the afflicted, and it has been the sound of the oppressed that has come into My ears," sayeth the Lord God of hosts.
"And therefore I have stood up at this time, and I am not just standing, but I am walking and moving. My movements shall be known and seen throughout the earth in your coming days, in your coming weeks.
A Rising Generation: Don't Look to the Midterms, but to HIS Terms
"Do not be moved by the noise, for there will be much noise that will try to bring you into fear, to bring you into confusion, and even to grip your heart and to think somehow that your God will not arise at the time that you say, 'Oh God, do You not see what is happening? Do You not see what we're facing in just the coming days of a midterm?'
"I have said to you before: You call it 'your terms,' but I have declared it is My terms, and it is My justice; it is My righteousness; it is My time that I have come to show the earth. For the proverb that you speak, that has come into the ears of the Lord Sabaoth, has been 'If we could just get past the midterms, then this will happen and that will happen.' And then you say, 'But if we could just go to 2028, and we could have this one who shall lead us as our president, or if we could have this in 2028.'
"Why do you limit your God to a time of midterms, to the seasons of your elections? Do you think that I am held to your time? Do you think that I'm bound by your terms? Do you think that I am restricted by your proverbs? Nay, for I say and I have said it, and I will speak it again: I have told you that I have come to recapture a generation. I'm not looking in My season—My terms of just a midterm, an election, a year, a Jewish New Year, your Gregorian calendar. I am looking to a generation and a generation that is rising.
The Spirit of God Is Stripping Satan of His Gems of Affliction
"And I remind you that I said I saw satan fall like lightning from Heaven, and I do not just say this at this time to bring false hope, but I tell you once again: As he was stripped of the precious rubies, the jewels that he was adorned with, it caused iniquity to be found within him because of the pride of who he thought he was and what he held.
"I speak this to you who are ignorant," says the Spirit of God. "For it was the Master who went down into the places of Hell and stripped the enemy, and gathered the spoil and the captives, and took from him the keys to death, Hell, and the grave. And in this recapturing of this generation, he has held on to what he says are 'precious gems' that have afflicted generations—like taking prayer from your schools, the Commandments from your public places, from afflicting your children and aborting them in the womb and out of the womb. And he has held onto these as gems of pride of his works. He has boasted of the rise of Islam. He has boasted of the nations in war, and with tyrants who rule. (Photo via Pexels)
"Yet I say to you, in the time that is upon the earth, these things—even diseases that have killed your loved ones, afflicted generations—he has prided himself [in] and said, 'This is but a gem,' I say these things he will be stripped of, and they will not have a sting, nor will they have power to afflict in this time that is upon the earth that is among you. No, it is not coming; it is unfolding, it is revealing, and it is building, and it is My glory that is manifesting at this time.
"Therefore, watch the stripping of the enemy, as many will lose their seats, some will lose their lives, and justices will be removed from benches. And there will be a justice that will come unto your streets again, as there will be law and order that shall come in an unusual way. And there will even be, you will see, laws and legislation that will change to favor freedom, liberty, and justice.
"You say, 'How is this possible?'
"The enemy is being stripped of what he has prided himself in, and this will be known to you and to your children, and for a generation—the spoils of victory, the spoils of war," says the Spirit of God.
New Technology: Sound and Light to Eradicate Cancer and Heal Mental Diseases
"Pay attention, for when darkness was on the earth, as you see now, it was in the days where the Spirit of God moved upon the face of it, and yet I release sound and I release light. And this is how I will bring the stripping of the enemy and restore the fortunes back to Zion. I will do this, and you'll see technology—medical breakthroughs that shall have the manifestation of sound and light. And you'll see something strange, as surgeons will put their knives away because of radiance of light that will go in and repair the heart, clear arteries, eradicate cancer... And when light goes to the eyes of those afflicted with demonic strongholds, Alzheimer's, dementia, mental disorder diseases, autism—light to the eyes shall cause the darkness to flee and shall cause a light of their memory to be restored.
"Watch and see, for you will not just watch but you will taste it, and you will say, 'Surely, I have tasted and I have seen.' Why? Because the Lord is good, and My mercy has prevailed at this time.
It Is the Time of the Spoils of Victory and War
"Do not rejoice in evil, but rejoice in the day that I have come, as I did at the time of Israel's affliction, to honor My covenant and to honor prayers that have been prayed some years ago, and some even now.
"It is the time of the spoils of victory of war. "
