The Shaking, the Slumber, and the Call to Feast: Part 1

On December 27, 2025, the Lord released a sober and urgent prophetic word about a divine shaking, a higher standard, and an invitation to exchange the fading pleasures of this world for His eternal feast.

Prophetic Word – December 27, 2025

“I am causing the things which were permissible in one season to no longer be acceptable in this season. There are many who thought they could continue in their course without consequence— but the standard of My measuring stick has risen and many do not measure up to this new standard. Therefore, I am causing a greater shaking to come in order to shake the still slumbering ones awake to the 11th hour watch. These ones have allowed the standard of the world to become their measure and portion and have become drunk on the pleasures of the world and are hung over in a restless slumber.

In the day, where I am pouring out fresh and new wine of My Spirit, they have so allowed themselves to be inundated with these fading and fleeting desires that they will miss out on the new through the door of exchange.

The world will look on in a great wonder and even confusion at the manifestation of this outpouring— accusing and judging it amiss— and without this shaking, many will miss out, unaware of their own drunkenness and stupor.

But I say to those who will receive the shaking and awakening of the light radiating upon the horizon of this new day dawning, if you will yield to this new move and put off your drunkenness of feasting on the decaying and rotting food of this world order, then I will bring you into My holy chamber to dine with Me and feast on My eternal delights that will satisfy fully your hunger and thirst.”

Gideon’s Army and the Great Separation

This word comes in a time when God is still purging and weeding through Gideon’s army, making the separation between camps—and between wheat and tares—increasingly evident. The shakings are not selective; they come to both the saved and the unsaved, exposing what is truly enthroned in every heart and in the land of Ephraim.

God issues a stern warning against false hopes and compromised foundations in Isaiah 28:1–4, even as He extends a glorious promise to the remnant who remain in the fire through shaking and purging in verses 5–6.

Isaiah‬ ‭28‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT
‬‬“Then at last the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will himself be Israel’s glorious crown. He will be the pride and joy of the remnant of his people. He will give a longing for justice to their judges. He will give great courage to their warriors who stand at the gates.”

He declares that He Himself will be a crown of glory, a diadem of beauty, a Spirit of justice, and strength and bravery to those who turn back the battle at the gate. The Gatekeepers are being brought forth!

Ephraim, Pride, and the Banqueting Table

The name Ephraim carries a prophetic tension: for the proud and self-ambitious, it speaks of exhaustion, depletion, and ashes, but for those who yield to the Lord’s refining, it points to a two-fold increase and double fruitfulness. Pride becomes the residence of Leviathan and a host of demonic strongholds, revealing which banqueting table truly rules a person’s life.

Isaiah 28:7–13 confronts prophets and priests who have become spiritually intoxicated, unable to see clearly, judge rightly, or recognize the seriousness of the hour. They dismiss the word of the Lord as childish repetition, even as their tables are described as covered in filth, exposing the impurity of what they feast on.

The Offense That Reveals the Heart

This shaking is an act of mercy meant to provoke God’s people and leaders to rightly discern the times and to be reshaped into living stones upon the true Foundation Stone, Jesus Christ. To ascend often means to offend, and God will offend the mind to reveal the heart, bringing into public what we refuse to let Him touch in private.

Isaiah 28:16–22 speaks of a tested Foundation Stone in Zion, a plumb line of justice and integrity, and the annulment of covenants with death and the underworld. Those who mock and resist the word find their bonds tightening, while those who allow the Lord to deal with hidden matters avoid becoming shackled to patterns that demand their eternal destiny.

The Fear of the Lord and Baal Perazim

In this hour, the fear of the Lord is not optional; it is essential. Isaiah 8:11–15 warns against agreeing with the fear and conspiracies of the people and calls us instead to honor Yahweh as holy, seeing Him as both sanctuary and stone of stumbling.

James 2:12–13 exhorts believers to live and speak as those judged by the law of liberty, taking dominion over judgment by showing mercy. As we yield to God’s dealings, He reveals Himself as Baal Perazim, the Lord of Breakthroughs, breaking us free from false refuges and bringing us into His eternal purposes.

Points of Activation: Obedience in the Shaking

– Ask the Lord, “Where have I treated what was once permissible as still acceptable?” and repent for any area where His higher standard has been resisted.

– Invite the Holy Spirit to expose where worldly standards have become your measure, and intentionally renounce specific “pleasures” that keep you spiritually sluggish.

– In prayer, present your heart as part of Gideon’s army and ask God to separate you from every alliance, habit, or relationship that weakens your obedience.

– Take communion or a simple meal with the Lord this week, intentionally exchanging “rotting food” (compromise, distraction, secret sin) for His eternal feast through verbal, specific surrender.

– Declare aloud: “Jesus, You alone are the Foundation Stone and plumb line of my life. I yield to Your shaking and choose Your fear over the fear of man or loss.”

Stay tuned for a part 2 continuation of this word in the coming few days.
