Are there prophetic warnings regarding Russell Brand that have a wider impact for the entire body of Christ?
In a recent prophetic message, Amanda Grace shared how the spirit of persecution that has attacked Russell Brand is not after just him, but rather the body of Christ as a whole.

According to Grace, the church has entered a crucial two-year window to respond to God’s call and help avert a spiritual crisis looming in 2028. She believes the years 2025 and 2027 symbolically align with “9/11”—not in reference to terrorism, but as a spiritual alarm for the church. “2025 is the valley of decision for the church,” she explained. “It starts that 9/11 window, that alarm, that wake up call to arise as the Acts church.”
This symbolic timeline, she warned, parallels the urgency of John 10:10, where “the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.” Grace emphasized that this same destructive spirit is actively targeting believers today, especially as the church begins to walk in increased spiritual power. “When that happens, the persecuting spirit goes forth in attempt to destroy the rise of that power,” she said.
One example, she noted, is cultural commentator Russell Brand. Once “branded by the world to do their bidding,” Brand is now facing public accusations and scrutiny following his spiritual awakening and outspokenness. “Almighty God pursued him…and branded his name upon Russell Brand,” Grace said. She called Brand a living example of how the religious spirit works to silence voices that break from worldly systems.
Grace warned that this religious, persecuting spirit has already infiltrated governments around the globe—from England to Europe and the Middle East—and is attempting to do the same in the United States. “It is the same content, it’s of the book, it’s just a different cover,” she said, describing how deception adapts to every culture.
For believers, this is not the time to be passive or distracted. “We as the church have to arise and operate in the power endowed us with…from on high through Christ Jesus,” she urged. “This is the decision for the church.”

Grace ended her message with a clear call to action: the church must return to prayer, Scripture, and the power of the Holy Spirit. “The fire of the Holy Ghost again needs to arise in the church,” she said. “It’s 9/11. It’s the alarm. It’s the wake-up call. The church needs to act now.”
Will the church rise—or remain silent in a time of shaking?
