27:42 – you’re going to begin to see in 2026, the rise of kingdom businesses. You’re going to begin to see the rise of those that are called to do business at high levels. And it’s going to be a kingdom move that’s about to happen. but there’s going to be a major shift as it relates to this.

28:13 – number two. there’s getting ready to be a shift, that’s going to come from our current monetary systems, into digital currency. And you’re going to see central bank digital currency begin to rise. I know that China already has really unveiled and they’ve green lit their digital currency. but the Lord said to me that in 2026, you’re getting ready to see the green light come to these digital currencies that have been there. but they’ve been in development, under development, but they’re about to be green lit. And you’re going to begin to see them come on the scene, which means the digital dollar. You’re going to see it come on the scene. you’re going to begin to see these other areas within Europe and the UK, where their digital currency is about to come on the scene.

28:56 – And this is important to know because the economy is getting ready to go through a complete overhaul. 2026 will be the year of an economic shakeup, that causes one system to collapse, but another system is going to begin to boom. There’s one economy that’s going to collapse, but there is a new economic structure that’s going to begin to boom, and it’s going to begin to shoot forth in the new year. Now, what is this going to look like? There’s going to be a major downturn that comes. I see it in the spirit even as I’m talking to you now. There’s going to be a major downturn that comes in the first quarter of 2026, concerning the economy. You’re going to see it disrupt the stock market. You’re going to see it disrupt cryptocurrency. you’re going to see things begin to shift and change. But the Lord said that this is going to be a necessary step before a boom comes. There’s going to be an economic revitalization that comes. but it’s going to be a downturn before it comes. And so, get ready for every area of finance to be shaken to its core. There’s going to be some people that have investments in crypto, that have investments in the market, that are going to be in a panic, when we come into 2026, at a time. because they’re going to be saying, “What’s going on?” But, the Lord said to me, just wait. because there’s going to be an economic revitalization. There is a collapse of a system, and the emergence of something greater, that we’ve not yet seen before. But you’re going to have to wait, because there’s going to be a period there of great disruption to the economy. But a new thing is going to emerge. There’s something greater that’s coming on the scene. There’s something new that’s getting ready to come. And I can’t wait to see what God is about to do.

30:38 – So, for those of you that are investors, you’re going to have to have a new strategy. You can’t go by what they taught you. You’re not going to be able to go by what you have learned and consumed. there’s certain records and patterns that they’ve gone by over the past decade, concerning the stock market, and concerning cryptocurrency. and they’ve said well this always happens. This is going to be the year where the always is not going to happen. It’s going to be a complete new thing that’s going to come. and it’s going to cause many of those that are economists, and many of those that are forecasters, they’re going to be in shock. because it’s not going to go the way that they thought it was going to go. It’s not going to go the way that they’ve seen and watched all of their data tell them that it’s going to go. There’s a disruption coming. A major disruption is coming to the stock market, to crypto, to the economy.

31:34 – Now, what does this mean? This also means the Lord showed me this that they’re going to be regulations that are coming down again. I saw another wave of regulations that are going to come to cryptocurrencies. you’re going to see uh more regulations that are going to come to the digital currency space. When you see it, don’t panic. Remember the word of the Lord, because after that period, there is a boom that’s going to happen. When that boom comes, there are many people that are going to start off with very little. And the Lord said this to me. I’ve released this before. but the Lord said, “Say it again. They’re going to start out with very little, but it’s going to be like it’s overnight. It won’t be overnight, but it’s going to be as though it’s overnight. where new millionaires are going to be birthed. those that carry wealth. you’re going to see them be birthed. and it’s going to look like it’s an overnight thing. but the Lord said that you’re going to see this new wave come to cryptocurrency.

1:08:46 – I saw another issue, and a major challenge rise around social security funding. the Lord said to me, it will be a battle for the future retirement funds. It’s going to be a battle for retirement. It’s literally going to be a battle over that. And so social security funding as we know it, is getting ready to shift and change. is going to be disrupted completely.

32:59 – Number three. there is a shift from being a job dependent person 9-to-5 mover into AI entrepreneurs and creatives…

33:39 – the Lord never wants the church to go and hide out in some cave. We are not called to go and hide out in the four walls of the church…

NotebookLM AI Summary:

The prophetic forecast for 2026 is centered on a year of major shifting, transition, disruption, and shaking, where global systems will be reconstructed. The speaker, offering this word from New York, emphasizes the need for preparation and willingness to heed warnings.

Theological Foundation and Preparation
The message is founded on the scripture that God reveals his secret counsel (sod) to his servants, the prophets, before acting. This revelation often involves heavenly council meetings where God determines global events and uses beings called “watchers” (angels) to oversee the earth, bringing down or setting up kingdoms.

To prepare for the new year, which is prophetically linked to the way the current year ends (“out of the end comes the beginning”), believers must:

1. Seek God and Forgive: End the year seeking God and practicing forgiveness. Forgiveness is required even when the memory of an offense returns repeatedly (70 times seven in one day). Forgiveness is an act of faith and trust, releasing the wrongdoer from deserved punishment and allowing God to rectify the situation.
2. Bless Enemies: Bless those who curse or offend you, as this is an act of humility that God will elevate.
3. Repentance: Approach God with a truly repentant heart, asking for forgiveness for sin, secret sin, hidden things, and disobedience, turning away from wickedness. Believers should stop comparing sins and ask the Lord to search their own hearts.

Prophetic Meaning of 2026 (Hebrew Calendar 5786)
The Hebrew calendar year 5786 (corresponding to 2026) holds specific prophetic meanings:

• 8 (Chet): Signifies life and circumcision, meaning a cutting away of the flesh or things displeasing to God. 2026 will be a year of a complete new beginning that follows a cutting away, moving believers into the next phase or chapter.
• 6 (Vav): Signifies man/humanity, and its Hebrew picture is a hook, representing connection. 2026 is the year of kingdom connection, where existing connections will be tested, and connections that do not support purpose will be broken by God if necessary. Believers must cover their God-given connections with prayer and warfare.

Prophecy and Handling the Word
Prophecy must be handled responsibly: it must be met with prayer, judged against scripture (to ensure it does not contradict the Bible), and tested for accuracy by waiting to see if it comes to pass. Prophecy is a weapon to be used against the enemy by warring and building with the word, reminding the enemy and God of what was spoken.

Seven Major Shifts Coming in 2026
The speaker outlined seven major shifts coming in 2026, which will be a year of transition and disruption:

1. Church Shift (Buildings to Hubs): Churches will shift from being mere buildings to apostolic hubs that act as a community force. They must become storehouses, food pantries, and sources of finance and medical resources. This requires a rising of believers skilled in various industries (doctors, lawyers) to commit their time to the kingdom, and the emergence of kingdom businesses.
2. Monetary Shift (Current to Digital Currency): There will be a rise of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The economy will experience an overhaul and shakeup, causing one system to collapse as a new one booms. A major economic downturn is anticipated in the first quarter of 2026, disrupting the stock market and cryptocurrency. This disruption is a necessary step before an economic revitalization and boom, which will follow new regulations in the digital currency space and lead to the sudden emergence of “new millionaires”.
3. Work Shift (Job Dependent to AI Entrepreneurs/Creatives): There will be a shift from 9-to-5 job dependence to AI entrepreneurs and creatives. Believers must overcome the fear of artificial intelligence (AI) and use it to automate systems and create new streams of income. The Lord is raising up marketplace prophets and techno profits (prophets of technology). These technoprofits will be skilled in technology and trained to “hack the hacker” to combat cyber terrorists who are trying to hack major systems, bank accounts, and blackmail companies.
4. Influence Shift (Religious Institutions to Marketplace/Media): God is shifting focus to the marketplace and media. The term Prophets to Hollywood refers to anointed content creators and filmmakers who will be connected to major industries like Hollywood. These assignments are meant to be light in darkness, combatting demonic spirits, and leading to a great harvest of souls through films that prophesy.
5. Focus Shift (Talent/Gift to Soul Healing): There will be a greater focus on mental health, moving away from relying on being “gifted and toxic”. This will include a major push for soul healing in “black and brown communities”. Churches need to develop mental health departments. God is also anointing people in deliverance ministry to combat mental illness and cast out devils, leading to deliverance revivals and physical healing (miraculous signs and wonders, including driving out rare forms of cancer).
6. Experience Shift (Religious Experiences to Outpourings): Outpourings of the Holy Spirit, prophesied in Joel 2, will go beyond the church and be poured out “on all flesh”.
7. Geographical Shift (Western to Developing Nations): There will be a shift from Western nations to third-world developing nations. Africa is entering its time, experiencing massive revival, rising infrastructure, the surfacing of billions of dollars, the rooting out of corruption, and the exposure of seven false prophets. South America, particularly Brazil, is also entering a season of revival and a great harvest of souls, sparked by hunger among young people.

Specific Prophetic Warnings for the US
In addition to the seven shifts, specific prophecies concern the United States government and infrastructure:

• Political Shakeup: A wave of resignations and firings is expected in the US government. The passing of a national leader in government, marked by the flag at half-mast, will occur during the transition into the new year, signifying a changing of the guard.
• Government Functioning: Funding for government agencies will be in jeopardy, leading to a period worse than late 2025. A looming government shutdown is coming and is expected to proceed in an unexpected, shocking way.
• Financial Issues: A major challenge will arise concerning Social Security funding, which is predicted to become a battle for future retirement funds and permanently change how the program runs.
• Judicial System: A shakeup and the judgment of God are coming to the Supreme Court in the first quarter of 2026, tied to major decisions.
• Infrastructure: Blackouts and power outages affecting communication systems and electricity will happen “more and more” frequently throughout a portion of the US.
• Warfare: Western nations are mobilizing for combat, involving warships in a strategic, undercover mission.

The speaker also shared a need for prayer against a large terrorist network, including a planned New Year’s Eve attack, specifically covering New York. An underground facility in the US is also predicted to be exposed. Despite the warnings, the speaker encouraged listeners that this is one of the greatest times to be a believer and urged them to “make the shift”.
