We return to the December 27, 2025 prophetic word, The Shaking, the Slumber, and the Call to Feast: Part 1, and connect it to a fresh call: to let the shaking refine believers so we can fully receive the outpouring of new wine.
Recap of Part One: Shaking, Separation, and the Banquet
The Lord warned that what was once permissible is no longer acceptable, and that a greater shaking is coming to awaken those lulled by the standards and pleasures of this world. The key points were:
• God’s raised standard and the shaking of the “still slumbering ones” at the 11th hour.
• Gideon’s army as a picture of purging, separation, and the revealing of what is enthroned in each heart and in Ephraim.
• Ephraim’s dual meaning: ashes for the proud, double fruitfulness for the yielded.
• Pride as the dwelling place of Leviathan and evidence of which banqueting table governs a life.
• The offense of the Foundation Stone, Jesus, who exposes false covenants, false hopes, and shallow religion.
God is not shaking just to judge but to invite: to pull His people out of counterfeit feasts and into His holy chamber where true satisfaction is found.
The Prophetic Word Repeated: The Door of Exchange
Here again is the prophetic word in full, because it functions as a plumb line for both posts and for the season ahead:
“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.”
In part 2, the emphasis is on that “door of exchange”: letting go of decaying and rotting food in order to receive the new wine and eternal delights of His presence.
The Rock of Offense and the Path of Faith
Isaiah 8:11–15 reveals the Lord as both holy sanctuary and stone of stumbling, warning believers not to share in the fears and conspiracies of the people but to fear Him alone.
Romans 9:32–33 connects this stone of stumbling to the issue of faith: Israel stumbled because they pursued righteousness by works instead of the way of faith and were offended by the means of obtaining it.
Romans 10:8–11 declares that God’s living message is near, in the heart and in the mouth, calling for a public confession of Jesus as Lord and a heart-level belief in His resurrection. Those who believe in Him, the Scripture promises, will never be disappointed, even when His ways offend human wisdom.
New Wine, Misunderstanding, and the Upper Room
The prophetic word also foreshadows a day when the world will misread the outpouring of the Spirit, accusing and judging what it cannot understand.
Acts 2 gives the clearest picture of this: at Pentecost, a violent wind and tongues of fire marked the disciples as they were filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned.
Onlookers were dumbfounded, some asking “What is this phenomenon?” while others mocked, saying, “They’re just drunk on new wine.” Peter stood up in boldness to clarify that it was only morning and that what they were witnessing was the fulfillment of God’s promise, declaring that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Living as a People of the Outpouring
In this season, the Lord is inviting His people to:
• Embrace the shaking as mercy, not just as judgment, allowing Him to expose and uproot every false refuge.
• Exchange world-intoxication for Spirit-infilling, refusing to feast on decaying food and instead entering His holy chamber to dine with Him.
• Yield to the “stone of offense,” Jesus, letting Him become both their sanctuary and their plumb line of justice and integrity.
• Live by faith-righteousness, confessing Jesus as Lord and trusting the promise that true belief in Him will never lead to shame.
• Welcome the new wine of the Spirit even when it is misunderstood, mocked, or mislabeled by the world.
Acts 2:25–28 shows David prophesying of a life anchored in God’s presence: a life that is never ultimately shaken, overflowing in joy, praise, and hope because the pathways of life have been revealed and His face brings deep, holy euphoria. This is the fruit the Lord desires to produce in those who pass through the shaking, yield at the door of exchange, and receive the outpouring of His new wine in this hour.
Points of Activation: Obedience into Outpouring
• Ask the Lord to show you one specific “door of exchange” in this season—something to lay down and something to receive in its place—and write it out as a covenant response to Him.
• Daily confess with your mouth, “Jesus, You are Lord over every area of my life,” and invite the Holy Spirit to align your actions with that confession.
• Where you have been offended by God’s methods or timing, verbally release that offense and entitlement or expectation of Him to perform how you wanted Him to. He owes you no apology ever, He is Sovereign Lord and you are not. Ask Him to turn the “stone of stumbling” into a fresh place of trust.
• Set aside intentional time (alone or with others) to welcome the Holy Spirit to move in ways that may be misunderstood, asking for courage to steward new wine rather than explain it away.
• Pray for a “Pentecost posture”: a heart that waits, a mouth ready to proclaim, and a life willing to be marked, even if the world mislabels what God is doing.
