In a powerful recent message delivered by Emma Stark and the Global Prophetic Alliance, the Christian leaders have issued a timely and urgent warning: the global economy is on the brink of a profound shaking. This prophetic insight points not only to financial instability but also to a deeper, spiritual crisis rooted in the moral and ethical decay of society. The financial turbulence we face is, in many ways, a reflection of the world’s rejection of God’s principles—greed, compromise and a self-centered disregard for the greater good have led nations down a dangerous path.
Emma Stark warns, “…if your nation is thinking about itself above everything else when it’s been trusted with wealth, we must learn together the consequences of our deception. [But] God is always redemptive.” This statement underscores both the gravity of the situation and the hope that even in the midst of judgment, there is room for redemption.

Judgment and Opportunity: A Divine Reckoning
The prophetic word reveals that nations which have chosen greed, selfishness and compromise will experience divine judgment. As the old order crumbles, God is positioning His people to rise—not merely to survive but to thrive with influence and purpose.
Stark emphasizes that this is not a time for the church to retreat in fear or confusion. Instead, we are called to shift our focus from reaction to action—moving from a posture of anxiety to one of faith and readiness. This moment presents a divine invitation for believers to stand as lights in a dark world, exemplifying God’s love, integrity and wisdom as the foundations of true success.
The Call to Host God’s Glory: More Than Just Survival
At the heart of this message is a profound call to believers to become hosts of God’s glory. Instead of merely seeking financial stability or personal breakthroughs, the church is urged to create environments where God’s presence can dwell. Stark highlights that the greatest need of this hour is not just material provision, but a deep, sustained connection with God. In times of instability, it is God’s presence—His glory—that becomes our most vital resource.
The church must foster an atmosphere where God’s glory is welcomed and can manifest. When we invite God’s presence, He empowers us to lead with wisdom, grace, and supernatural insight, even in the face of financial collapse. As we focus on His glory, we are equipped to be His hands and feet in a hurting world.
Worship That Transforms: Realigning Hearts with Heaven
Integral to hosting God’s glory is a transformative form of worship. Many believers have become emotionally stirred by worship, but true, life-changing worship goes beyond temporary inspiration. Prophetic worship calls us to realign our hearts with heaven, to surrender fully to God and to invite His presence to invade every part of our lives. This kind of worship is not just about personal experience; it becomes a conduit for divine intervention in every area, including our finances and relationships.
True worship empowers us to break free from the grip of fear and insecurity. It shifts our perspective, enabling us to see that God is at work even in times of scarcity and uncertainty. When we host God’s glory through worship, we position ourselves and our communities for transformation, both spiritually and practically.
Preparing for What’s Ahead: Leading with Wisdom
This prophetic message calls the church to stand firm in faith, equipped with wisdom and discernment. We must steward our resources with integrity, manage our finances responsibly and be ready to offer hope in a world overwhelmed by chaos.
This is a time to lead—by demonstrating God’s kingdom values in every sphere of life. The greatest resource the church can offer to the world in these uncertain times is not merely material wealth, but the manifest presence of God. As we invite His presence to dwell among us, we become beacons of hope, wisdom and strength. The world may face economic upheaval, but God’s people are called to rise, to shine, and to lead with His glory as our guiding light.
As we prepare for what’s ahead, the invitation is clear: don’t just survive the shaking—thrive in it, empowered by God’s presence and purpose.
