Why is it that prophetic ministry always comes under such scrutiny? Why do prophetic voices gain so much attention and cause such a stir? What is it about prophecy that causes such controversy on the one hand, and such hunger on the other? I believe one of the primary reasons is that true prophecy opens the door to the unseen realm. Pure prophetic operation reveals a supernatural God and realities not otherwise experienced or known to our flesh. It is a tangible demonstration that we can hear God’s voice and even know God’s heart. And though most of our understanding of prophecy comes from the New Testament, I find an interesting statement from Moses in the Old Testament that points to a core value of the prophetic.
The knife that is cutting through His house is no respecter of persons. God does not set aside our favorites. He does not overlook compromise or spiritual corruption to salvage men’s reputations. Nor will allow His anointing to be weaponized by those who only seek the glory for themselves. He is a holy God and NO ONE can touch His glory. No one is above His discipline or correction. And because of the buildup of dung in His pantry, the stench can no longer be tolerated. No prophet or apostle, teacher or pastor, or any other leader in God’s house will escape His cleansing wrath.
I had an unexpected dream the other night that called my attention to the depth of the Father’s love when dealing with sin in His people… When I woke up, I was struck by my reaction in the dream. Knowing the doctrinal errors and spiritual deception this young woman has been operating in, I was surprised at what the Lord was revealing…
This reform is not rejection of the Charismatic emphasis on the Holy Spirit, but a refinement—where power is submitted to purity, and gifting is governed by godliness. The Church is being invited into a season of divine pruning so it may bear lasting fruit (John 15:2). The question is not just whether we want revival, but whether we are willing to become vessels that can carry it well.
Consider asking your husband how you can pray for him each day. (If the father of your children doesn’t live with you, for whatever reason, remember to put him on your prayer list too.) Your husband wants nothing more than to succeed, but he probably struggles with issues he’s afraid to admit, even to himself. He may feel insecure about being a dad, especially if he didn’t have the benefit of a good role model. Or maybe he feels more like an understudy because he’s “only” a stepdad.

A Note from Carol: One of the greatest joys of my ministry is sharing voices that inspire and uplift with both passion and purpose. Today, I’m honored to introduce you to Arlene Pellicane—a gifted author, podcaster, and a tireless champion for families. Arlene shares her heart with us this week o
Summer storms–and summer stress–can elevate anxiety unless we trust God to alleviate our fears.

Great word Wanda!
Several years ago, out of nowhere, I started to get sudden, shooting pain in my hip and back. I cried out for mercy and searched the scriptures. The only scripture that resonated was Romans 11:32. “For God has bound all men over to disobedience (unbelief/futility) so that He may have mercy on them all.”
I stood on the promise that He bore my infirmities and by His stripes I am healed, but the pain did not relent for almost a year. The Lord eventually brought complete relief and restoration, but it was a year of questioning and waiting for Him to show mercy…though it felt like it would ever come!
As you say, God wants our faith to be in Christ and the mercy and grace we have through Him. It often seems and feels like God has forgotten our cause (Isaiah 40:27)—that He doesn’t care and isn’t doing enough. But Jesus is the eternal revelation of how much God cares and what He is willing to do for us.
Hebrews 6:12–We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
Hebrews 10:36-39–You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
Thank you so much for sharing this. This has been a very painful year for me. Broken relationships and problems in my marriage have left me feeling lonely and forsaken. I have never experienced such loneliness. Thanks for the encouraging word.
Such a good word. Thank you for the encouragement. His grace is sufficient. His timing is perfect. We look at the unseen.JESUS our Savior, Deliverer, and Healer.
A powerful message to the body of Christ.
Thank you Wanda!
Thank you for sharing your amazing testimony, I currently suffer from tinnitus and visual disturbances probably brought on from the tinnitus. After reading your encouraging words, I feel restored. As I was reading it, I could feel the power of the Holy Spirit coming off of the page and entering my body for total healing and restoration. You are an amazing woman of God, thank you for giving us Hope! May God Bless you and Keep you 😊 God is Absolutely Good ALWAYS
Thank you for sharing this timely word. I felt tremendously encouraged by it. Blessings 🙏🏼🕊️💟✝️
Thank you. I, too, have been resisting ringing in the ear, and very few Words of knowledge or dreams since last spring. I have been reading books by Alicia Britt Chole on the anonymous years, quiet movement, and darkness is normal- she says the same thing about deepening the individual knowledge of God being the same in all seasons, and all circumstances as we resist evil and do good. We are human BEINGS, not human DOERS. God bless
Thank you so much, Wanda, for sharing the conclusions of your testing. Couldn’t be better stated. I endured about 21 years of a rare health syndrome that had me 100% incapacitated for, at times, one-third of my time. Invisible causes were suspect. During those years I managed to raise my two children. During the “up” times, I appeared completely fine, which led to skepticism from others. I learned among other things that sometimes our trials are testing others not just ourselves. Proof came when at one point, 14 years into the situation, when God completely, immediately and totally ceased my ailment. I was elated and rebounded with vigor. Strangely, those who doubted before, doubted even more that God had done something. Ridiculous reasons were advanced to explain for my change, all of them dodging Divine healing. Then after three months the syndrome returned, and it was amazing how quickly those who feigned faith before rallied with the mockers. Few stood fast. Meanwhile I knew exactly what was going on… God was answering my prayer for a sign that He would eventually totally heal me (which He did). But I needed to suffer another seven years. I was not notified of the timeline, but when the problem ended permanently, it coincided with a specific family member turning to God. I knew my temporary healing was a sign of encouragement for me, to help me endure, as I’d asked Him to make it clear to me whenever healing was final, what the reason for the timing was. And that is how it ended. And along the way, so many displayed were “weighed in the balance” and sadly found wanting in faith. God words in mysterious ways.
Thank you very much for this post, which I think is the most powerful one you have written.
You have been totally transparent by painfully sharing how the Lord has used mean and unexpected circumstances in your life, not from Him, to bring His holy fire to heal you and to burn out of you the “dross” that you did not know was there.
You have shared the great depth of understandings that have come to you through this extensive trial and are helping more people than you will ever know by your sharing and teaching.
God bless you and Merry Christmas!
Thank you Wanda for expressing very clearly what so many experience and feel. The Lord Bless you in All things as you continue to walk the path that He has laid before you. Numbers 6:24-26 continues to express His Heart towards His Sons and Daughters!
Spot on word!!!!
Your testing has encouraged me today because it is so real and familiar. I started following you during the pandemic along with other prophets. I attend a very prophetic church where everyone else seems to hear God so easily. I struggle to hear Him but I know that I do on occasion. My pastor was the first person I saw on Instagram taking the vax, and the church was shut down for months. It was my husband who was able to guilt the elders into opening up again. He has been diagnosed with a rare heart disease now and there is no medical help for it. Many are praying for him but we are older and I’m not sure he wants to be healed. I am at home with him and there are few times we can get out of the house. Not knowing what the future holds for us in this time of political turmoil has tested my faith and made me feel isolated because I cannot share what is going on with anyone in the family or really close friends. My husband’s heart can’t take the stress and I am the only person in my family unvaxed. First the Lord had me study the Blood of Jesus, then Deliverance by Jake Kale (thanks to you) and how to hear from the Lord by Johnny Enlow. RESIST was my word for 2022 and REST was my word for 2023. As my husband’s health deteriorates, I feel God is near and will be my strength. I too struggle with tinnitus for years. I am looking forward to the GLORY of GOD invading the church. If I did not have you and other believers/truth tellers, I would be even more isolated. Thank you for sharing so honestly and for your teaching and book writing. God is at work in all of us.
This article has the fingerprint of the Holy Spirit and someone who has been through the dealings of God. The cross is rarely mentioned in modern Christianity but it proved to be your salvation. I was blessed to meet you at the IFA conference. Your husband and you are marked by the Holy Spirit!
Good word! Made me think of Romans15:13, “May the God of hope fill You with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” May I/ we learn to rest in Hope because of who He is.
Wanda, this is exactly where I am. Thank you so much for putting words to my feelings. Through the pain I’m experiencing, I have learned so much this past year. I continue being fed His words saying “wait on the lord.”
Everywhere I turn there is a word about waiting and trusting his timing. I know He’s building my character,
But some days I’m more patient than others. Reading your post daily is certainly going to help me continue on.
His bless you.
