THE CABAL IS BREAKING…
R**e, in**st, and the sweeping judgement.

In the month of May 2025, the Lord took me (by way of trance) into a vision of very influential young people. These were artists, rappers, business owners, community organisers, pastors, and simply generational leaders. They were in these dungeons caged, and the Lord told me the cabal put them there.

Though I am thoroughly studied, I had not heard much about the term “cabal”. But in summary it is a group of powerful leaders both religious and non-religious who wield their power for their personal gain and interest. In light of that, the Lord took me into the history of a number of people, and I saw they were sexually advanced upon by their biological fathers. I saw biological fathers fondling their sons, penetrating their daughters, and creating strange, inordinate emotional relationships with their children. Many of these fathers are religious and non-religious leaders (members of the global cabal).

The Lord told me to prophesy against this darkness and millions of captives were liberated. I hadn’t mentioned it much but I believe now more than ever is the time to address these corrupt power structures and abusive behaviors all over the world. Many who were victims of the cabal have traced their personal life dysfunctions to other bad happenings in their lives, out of protection for key family members and loved personnel, but God is calling many out of toxic loyalty. You’ll never be fully free til you confront the psychologically damaging truth that in**st, r**e, and the pleasures of those with power corrupted you.

I write to simply announce the cabal is breaking.

A Prophet to a Wicked Generation,

I share this prophetic utterance in the fear of the Lord. I have great reverence, love, and honour for many voices involved in the Gospel & CCM Music Industries, but I cannot deny what God has said. This clip is from my first public worship gathering in my home base of Washington DC, October 25 2024.

I want to emphasise that this word is addressing a political structure that has tainted and tampered with the pure ministry gifts of many of our beloved Worship Leaders today. I recognise that there are some who are called to represent Christ in secular music spaces as artists; this is not addressing those. This is addressing those in a place of conflict right now, as they entered into the industry with pure intentions, but fell into the hands of executive wolves. It’s time to come back home.

Many are being called back to what it was originally about. This is why you are a pocket with holes, nothing is working, and no matter how much you attempt to build, it crumbles by the disapproval of the Almighty God, because you are reserved as a Priest for Him only.

I also recognise that not all music executives are evil, but the Lord said the majority involved with this specific industry are. I cannot change what He has said, nor can I change the calamity set to befall the space. God has given a window of repentance that is shortly closing, before the full destruction sets in. Like God called Abraham to escape S***m & Gomorrah, God is calling a mass exodus from the industry to return to priesthood in Him.

Because our obsession with confirmation is causing us to miss out on God’s greater plans for our lives.

🚨 Ending the Prophets vs. Seers Debate 🚨

There are no “seer prophets”. All prophets are seers.
This whole Nabi vs. Chozeh argument is dated and was put forward by people who aren’t actually prophets.
Visions, dreams, and mystic encounters are the heritage of all called prophets. If you aren’t experiencing them regularly, it’s because you’re either not called to it or you’re immature.

“(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, “Come, let us go to the seer,” for today’s “prophet” was formerly called a seer.)” - 1 Samuel‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.” - Numbers‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“I spoke to the prophets; it was I who multiplied visions, and through the prophets gave parables.” - Hosea‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

‼️LET’S TALK ABOUT PROPHETIC & INTERCESSORY FRIENDS ‼️

Been thinking a lot lately about the very real embodied pain and psychological trauma of being a prophetic friend & intercessor.

This is something not discussed enough because most of our culture is godless and backslidden. But for those who carry this DNA, it is a necessary conversation, especially in the day of the rise of “mental health” conversations.

Let’s talk about it…

——

To be a prophetic friend & intercessor means you are covenanted to the revealed will of God for a person’s life (Amos 3:7-8, Jer. 23:22), and are also called to stand & live in the “gaps” between that person’s life and the revealed will of God for their life (Jer. 27:18, Ez. 22:30). Your assignment to your friends is not just social and human, it is divine and cosmic. You engage in a realm of warfare concerning them and all that is attached to them because of the revealed will of God for their life (2 Cor. 12:7; Eph. 6:12-13).

The challenge is this, God’s will and thoughts are often as far as the Heavens are from the Earth from the will and thoughts of mankind (Isa. 55:9-12). Therefore, the “gap” that prophetic friends and intercessors are called to stand in is often huge and overwhelming. The lifestyle and obedience of your friends determines how big or small the “gap” prophetic friends and intercessors are called to fill. The “gap” is not just between our friends and danger/calamity, the “gap” is also between our friends and God’s highest purpose and calling for their lives.

This also means, the distance our friends have from the Lord’s revealed will can create a distance and fracture in such prophetic relationships. At times we think arguments, conflicts, and distance is due to natural occurrences of human difference, but most of the time in the case of prophetic friends & intercessors, such friction comes through the growing distance between God and our friends (Amos 3:3, 2 Cor. 6:14, James 4:4). When our friends are not in alignment with God, they will also not be in alignment with their prophetic friends & intercessors. They often distance themselves from anything that reminds them of God’s will, which creates tremendous emotional toil & deep distress.

A biblical model for this is the Hebrew Prophets. Often we look at the role of Hebrew Prophets to the Nation of Israel as leaders to followers. But the paradigm expands when we perceive it in our everyday context as friends to friends. The Hebrew Prophets were people who lived in the same nation as the people they were prophesying to, with the same nature and shared experiences. They were not prophesying from a lofty disconnected place, but from a relational place. They were friends to the nation they were prophesying to and interceding for. Therefore, we see a template in our everyday interactions with those we love.

Prophetic friends & intercessors have an agony like Jeremiah to his friends in Judah, who said: “My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain! Oh the walls of my heart! My heart is beating wildly; I cannot keep silent, for I hear the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.” - Jeremiah‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬. True prophetic friends & intercessors will feel turmoil and distress at the lack of alignment in their friends. It will move their soul to deep heartbreak and anguish, at the sight of their friends being in a lower condition than God’s promise. Abraham J. Heschel conceptualises this as the “divine pathos”. Emotion generated not by human frustration, but divine interaction by the Spirit (Rom. 8:26).

There is a temptation to relinquish such a role, for the sake of the stability of the friendship. Replacing it with a more “human”, “indifferent”, and “normal” role. But the reality is, all throughout scripture, everything God wanted to accomplish, He did through partnership with willing people (Ps. 110:3). We cannot just say “leave it to God” and become emotionless, numb, nonchalant, and callous at the sight of the misalignment of those we were prophetically assigned to. To prophetic voices, most of the friendships in their lives are assignments and not simply organic developments.

In conclusion, to prophetic friends & intercessors across the world who are heartbroken by the things that break God’s heart concerning those you love, I say to you I understand. I am you, you are me. God has graced us for the “gaps” we stand in and fill. God has graced us for the rebellion that is so active in the hearts of those He died for. God has graced us with the fruit of the Spirit, in all patience and long-suffering, forbearance and kindness, joy and love.

It is not an easy task, but whatever you do, don’t stop being you. Your friends may not admit it, but they need you to be in consistent alignment with God. Why? Because you are the only reminder and representation of Him in season where they stop seeing and hearing Him. Your intercessory presence and uncompromising stance reminds them that God’s will is consistent despite the inconsistencies of their rebellion.

Prophetic voices are made for the local church. There is a vagabond and rogue theology that has plagued prophetic ministry in the 21st century. Many prophetic voices lack a high value for the primacy of the local church and the accountability that comes from local elders. Just because there are abusive systems, this doesn’t absolve you from the biblical requirement to submit to local elders (Heb. 13:17) and not forsake the local assembly (Heb. 10:25).
‌
A few core principles for the prophetic we must consider from THE BIBLE (not your favourite influencer or e-course):
‌
Prophets are set second in the church (1 Cor. 12:28). Their effectiveness is based upon who they are number 2 to. They are not wired to lead a church (unless they are also gifted as pastors/apostles), they are designed to come alongside leaders to bring flourishing (Ezra 5:1-2, 2 Chron. 20:20) and protection (Heb. 12:13). Beware of Prophets who are their only headship & aren’t part of something bigger than themselves.
‌
Prophets in both Old and New Testament, operated in teams not in silos (1 Cor. 14:29-32; Acts 13:1-3, 15:32; 1 Sam. 10:5-13). Prophets never operated in isolation. Their ministries only existed because of the companies they were part of, in both testaments. Beware of prophets who are not EVIDENTLY part of a local church prophetic community.
‌
Every major biblical prophet was called alongside a primary leader and king. Samuel to Saul & David, Elijah to Ahab & Jezebel, Miriam to Moses, Deborah to Barak, Isaiah to Uzziah, Jeremiah to Josiah, John to Jesus, and the list goes on. Prophets are made to come alongside leadership, even if you are multi gifted, the prophet in you is designed to serve alongside a broader vision.
‌
The next time someone tells you they have a prophetic ministry, ask them who their pastor/leader is, and how they serve in their local (not a network or intangible ‘covering’) expression. If you have none, halt your personal ministry until you are settled in a context and with accountability greater than you. Humble yourself.

There is a lot going on in the world. A lot. The selective outrage, criticism, and anger of many religious individuals is showing their level of education concerning what is going on. If you only have prophetic words for scandals, secular movies/songs, or pop culture news found on Shade Room/TMZ, you have no prayer life. Your lament needs to come up higher. Re****ed “prophetic” commentary is increasing a lack of the fear of the Lord in this generation. Why is your discernment only at work for things that are obvious in plain sight? Why do you have no access to God’s secrets? The social media prophetic scene is embarrassing my vocation!

🚨ITINERANT SPEAKERS VS. PROPHETS 🚨

We are living in the hour of the commercialisation of Christian Ministry, and it is greatly damaging individuals with authentic prophetic ministries. A Prophet diminishes in effectiveness when they become more of an itinerant speaker than they are an assignment speaker.

Itinerant Speakers often take bookings based upon hospitable conditions being met (such as honorarium, travel & lodging, per diems, sales opportunities, audience sizes, and brand reputation). Itinerant Speakers take bookings as work opportunities for their own livelihood. Whilst hospitality is both good and biblically required, prophets have a more peculiar and distinct assignment. Prophets reveal, proclaim, and enforce the will of God (Amos 3:7-8; Eph. 3:4-5). They rely on being sent and only speak if God has something to say (Jer. 23:21).

The current conditions of Christian ministry have subjected prophetic voices to abuse, resulting in them being pawns for the financial & reputational agendas of religious industries. Many have become slaves to cheques & media opportunities, and are not speaking on behalf of God.

My good friend Prophet Isaiah-Raymond Dyer highlighted a scripture to me recently that I had overlooked: “And Eli said, “What was it that he told you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and more also if you hide anything from me of all that he told you.”” (1 Sam. 3:17). Eli required Samuel to tell him ALL of what God had revealed to Him. How many religious industries are welcoming that level of risk and delivery? For Prophetic Voices, this should be the minimum requirement to accepting an invitation, even above hospitality arrangements.

Itinerant Speakers are controlled by the desires of the brand/platform inviting them. They are hirelings doing a job. Prophets are different, they are messengers designated by Heaven with divine utterance and aligning power (Jer. 23:29). In this hour, you can’t be both. Pick one. I tell all emerging prophets that you don’t have to completely align with your hoste, but you have to have full freedom to say all God wants you to say. Do not accept an invitation under controlled conditions, lest you sin against the God who set you apart as His mouthpiece.

Prophets in scripture were known as “madmen” (Hosea 9:7). They were wild and free-spirited in speaking for God. Silence, rewording, and toning down is not wisdom, it’s compromise. You cannot be a Prophet and an Itinerant Speaker, you have to pick your vocation. Preach it ALL!
