The Shaking Continues: How to Respond to God’s Call for Reformation Now

In January 2023, I released a prophetic word on the New Zealand Prophetic Network. What was spoken then is coming to pass with undeniable force. The shaking is intensifying—no longer a distant promise, but a present reality. This is a moment of urgent reformation. The Lord is calling His people to rise up, break free from old religious mindsets, and step into the divine transformation He is orchestrating.

The shaking continues. God is confronting the spirit of religion that has bound His people to powerless structures and ideologies. For too long, we’ve built walls around our churches, thinking we were building His Kingdom. But hear this clearly—Jesus has left the building. For years now, we've mistaken man-made structures for His presence. We’ve relied on religious systems, traditions, and our comfort zones, but the Lord is shaking us free. He is calling His people to rise from the ashes of what we thought church was and to step into what the Kingdom of God truly is.

This spirit of religion has worked its way into the foundation of the Church, hindering the fullness of His breath from moving freely. But the Lord is saying now: Enough! The time to break free is now!

The prophetic word I received was not just about revival—it was a warning about a clash of kingdoms. The spirit of religion has led many to embrace man-made systems, ideologies, and structures that have kept them in bondage, but God is shaking us to release us from this prison.

This battle is escalating. The Kingdom of God is advancing, and the spirit of religion is retreating. The time to choose sides is now. You must decide, as a believer, who you truly belong to: will you continue to align yourself with the systems of this world that breed division, control, and oppression, or will you rise in the power of God’s Kingdom to bring about real change?

Jesus has already left the building—He’s not bound by walls or religious institutions. He is moving outside of the boxes we’ve built and He is inviting us to join Him in the Kingdom of God that is not of this world. The question remains: Will you follow Him out of the building?

God is calling reformers, not just to witness the shaking, but to engage with it. The fire of reformation is here, and it is not a gentle breeze—it’s a consuming fire that will burn away the chaff. This is the time to respond.

This reformation is a divine opportunity, not just for a change in theology, but a radical shift in our hearts and actions. The spirit of religion has paralyzed the Church, keeping believers stuck in cycles of complacency and powerless faith. But God is calling you to arise, to step into the fire, and to be reshaped for His Kingdom purpose.

It’s time to burn away the old religious mindsets that have kept you bound. It’s time to lay down the idols of tradition, of control, of fear, and embrace the pure, powerful move of God. No longer will we sit idly by while the Kingdom of God is held back by religion. No longer will we allow the enemy to have a foothold in the Church. The shaking has begun—and it is time to move.

The call to reformation is urgent. In 2 Kings 12:1-10, King Jehoash sought to repair the Temple, but for 23 years, the priests had delayed the work. It wasn’t until Jehoash took decisive action that the Temple was rebuilt. In the same way, we have been delaying the work God has called us to. We’ve allowed religious systems, traditions, and comfort to keep us from stepping into the fullness of what God is doing.

This delay is over. God is calling you to action now. No more waiting. No more procrastination. The Kingdom is at hand. The reformation God has promised is unfolding, and He is inviting you to be part of it.

The reformation God is calling us to begins with us. It’s time to take personal responsibility for the areas in our lives where religion has blinded us. We must ask God to reveal the strongholds in our hearts—the places where we’ve allowed the enemy to bind us with false teachings, fear, or doubt.

But this is not just a personal call; it is a call for corporate unity. We must come together as the Body of Christ, tearing down denominational walls, embracing the power of God’s love and Kingdom authority, and walking in unity. It is time for the Church to rise and demonstrate the true power of the Kingdom.

God is calling reformers to rise, not just to be reshaped individually, but to lead the charge in the reformation of the Church. This is not just a call to be purified but to be empowered and equipped to bring Kingdom transformation to the earth.

The shaking will continue. The spirit of religion is being exposed, and God is calling His Church to stand in the fire and be refined. No more compromise. No more complacency. This is the moment to rise—to embrace the reformation that is here, to let God reshape your heart, and to step boldly into the next season He has for you.

Now, I challenge you to take a stand. Ask God where He is calling you to step out of the old religious systems and into His Kingdom purpose. Let’s refuse to sit back in complacency as we witness the shaking of the Church—we are the Church.

As the Lord moves, we must move with Him. Share this word with others, and let’s begin this reformation together.

I declare that I will not be bound by the systems of religion, but will rise in the power of God’s Kingdom. I choose to step into the fire of transformation. I will be reshaped for God’s Kingdom purpose, and I will walk in unity with the Body of Christ. As the shaking continues, I will not shrink back, but embrace the call to arise and rebuild. In Jesus' name, amen."

Let’s rise together. Share this word. Engage with it. And be the reformation we are waiting.
