There is a sound echoing across the earth right now — a deep rumbling in the Spirit that feels like both a tearing and a birthing. As I’ve sat before the Lord in this season, I’ve sensed that what we’re hearing isn’t simply another revival coming or another movement forming — it’s something much greater.

The Spirit of the Lord whispered to me:

“You are standing in the hallway between two ages. The sound you hear is the rumbling of transition. The systems of men are being shaken, not to destroy, but to make room for the manifestation of My sons and daughters. For what is emerging is not another movement, but another age.”

The Great Shift

We have lived for centuries in what many know as the Church Age — a time when God’s presence was largely carried through gatherings, revivals, and anointed individuals. It was beautiful and necessary, and it established a foundation for faith communities across the world.

But now the Lord is ushering in what He calls the Kingdom Age — an era where His presence is not confined to pulpits, events, or ministry systems, but revealed through people who know they are His dwelling place.

“You have known the Church Age,” says the Lord, “but behold, I am ushering in the Kingdom Age. My presence will no longer be limited to ministry models or moments of visitation. A generation is rising who understand that they themselves are My dwelling place — the embodiment of My glory in the earth.”

This is why everything is shaking. The Lord is not destroying what has been; He is making space for what is becoming.

The Revelation of the Son

The Church was built upon the revelation of the Son — Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of our faith. But the Kingdom that is emerging will be built upon the revelation of sons — men and women who live in His likeness, bear His image, and manifest His nature in everyday life.

“This generation,” the Lord said, “will not be known for the titles they carry, but for the likeness they bear. I am raising up a people who reflect the brightness of My glory and carry the fragrance of My presence wherever they go.”

We are moving from talking about God to revealing Him — from ministry as message to life as manifestation.

The Vision of the River

The Lord reminded me of a dream I had in 2022.

In the dream, I saw a wide river flowing down the middle of what looked like a city street. On one side, vehicles — representing ministries — were backing up to the water. People dipped wheelbarrows into the river, filled them, and drove away. Again and again, they came to collect, but never stayed.

Then I heard the Lord say,

“These are those who are satisfied with going from encounter to encounter.”

Then He said, “Look again.”

Further down the riverbank, I saw no vehicles — only people diving into the water, fully immersed. They were radiant, shining like diamonds, their eyes full of light.

“These are those who are satisfied with nothing less than full immersion in My Spirit,” the Lord said. “They have discovered that the river is not around them, but within them.”

That dream has become a living parable for this hour. God is calling us to move from visitation to habitation — from merely touching the presence of God to living from it.

The Word of Transformation

In this new era, the Lord is bringing a revelation that will transfigure His people.
We will no longer live from conference to conference, revival to revival, or worship set to worship set — but from an unbroken awareness that Christ in us is the hope of glory.

“You have looked for revival to come,” He said, “but revival will not come to you — it will flow through you.”

A company of image bearers is rising — sons and daughters who release the Kingdom in every sphere: government, education, business, family, media, and the arts. They will carry both humility and authority, releasing life wherever they go because the river flows from within them.

The Shift in the Fivefold

The Lord also spoke about how the fivefold ministry itself is changing in this transition:

“The structure of the fivefold ministry is being redefined. The system you have known has produced ministers who perform, but I am calling forth fathers and mothers who raise up sons and daughters. The days of ministry for applause are over; the days of ministry for impartation have come.”

Apostles and prophets will no longer build for personal legacy, but for generational maturity. Pastors and teachers will no longer simply tend sheep — they will activate sons. The evangelist will no longer be a celebrity of salvation, but a carrier of the heartbeat of Heaven.

The goal is no longer performance, but presence.

The Call to the Image Bearers

“I am calling My people into full awareness of who they are,” says the Spirit of the Lord.
“You have prayed for more of Me, but I say — you already carry My fullness. The invitation now is not to seek Me externally, but to awaken internally.”

We are not waiting for glory to fall — the glory is rising from within.

This new breed will not measure success by crowds or platforms, but by transformation. They will not lead by title, but by union. Their authority will come not from charisma, but from closeness to My heart.

“Arise, My sons and daughters. Arise, Image Bearers. For your light has already come. The glory that once rested upon tabernacles now rests within you. The Church has prepared the foundation, but now the Kingdom is being built — and you are its living stones.”

A Prophetic Decree

I decree:

• The age of visitation is over, and the age of habitation has begun.
• The sons and daughters of God are awakening to their identity as image bearers of His glory.
• The river of God is flowing from within His people — unstoppable, uncontainable, and alive.
• Ministries are shifting from performance to presence, from hierarchy to habitation.
• The light of Christ within you will break forth like the dawn — and nations will come to the brightness of your rising.

Final Word

This is the hour of the image bearers — those who carry not only the message of Christ, but the manifestation of Him.

“No longer will you seek My presence,” says the Lord, “for you will be My presence. No longer will you carry My glory — you will become My glory revealed.”

So rise up, radiant ones.
The hallway between ages is giving way to a new day — and your light has already come.
