There is an underground church rising in this next hour of the Body of Christ.

I believe we have been in a moment like the wedding at Cana, where the old wine has officially run out, and the Body of Christ has been in this place where there’s been a void, a vacuum, and God has been looking for those who would fill that void with what He is doing.

Not filling it with more religion. Not filling it with chaos, division, or destruction. He’s looking for those who will step into that space and begin to speak into where the Body of Christ is going right now.

There are so many who have been mantled for this and anointed for this hour. And I believe we are in a moment where those who have been in a hidden season, a waiting season, God is calling your number. He’s calling you up. He’s summoning you.

It’s a Daniel 2:21 season where God deposes kings and raises up others. This is a season where God is placing the key for the next move of God, the next chapter of the Church, into the hands of those who have remained untainted by the leaven of the Pharisee and untainted by the compromise of an institutional church that has aligned with a Babylonian system.

We have been a mixed church instead of a pure and spotless bride, and so God is calling the hidden ones to the front lines.

We’re about to see these John the Baptists arise, the ones people have labeled as “para-ministries,” “lone ranger ministries,” the ones who were told they don’t have covering, they’re not part of the big networks.

For years, they’ve been called illegitimate, rebellious, misfits, accused of not submitting or not fitting in. And yes, some may have walked in rebellion. But many simply refused to dirty their hands. They refused to be compromised. They refused to be tainted.

Even when they went through mental warfare, asking, “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I fit? Why can’t I go the same way everyone else is going?” They knew deep down there was a Davidic call, a cry in their spirit to be set apart for something different, and God is raising them up now.

I believe March and April mark a shift. Hidden ministries and churches will begin stepping into influence. This is not about bashing other ministries. It’s not about declaring others are wrong. It’s about the need for what is pure and fresh.

The call of a reformer is to both tear down and build. A reformer uses both hammer and oil. It is a healing and delivering function just as much as it is a recognition that some things must be cleared away because they are no longer working.


Years ago, when I first felt called into reform, I wanted to burn down the whole system. If it wasn’t working, I thought it must not be good. But that didn’t work because I wasn’t loving the Church. I had been rejected. I was bitter. I was in victim mode. I was in orphan mode.

A mature reformer learns to love the very thing they are bringing into order. And God reforms us first. It’s painful. It’s the refiner’s fire. It’s the dark nights of the soul. It’s the Gethsemane seasons that no one understands.

If that’s you, if you’ve been in hiding, in process, carrying the blueprints of the Lord’s heart, this is your season.

God is trusting you to bring those blueprints forward. To push past insecurity, past trauma, past the soulish empires and environments that wounded you.

In some cases, God sends you back to the places that hurt you, not to disregard them, but to be the answer for them.

Even within those systems, there is a cry: “What is God doing? This no longer works the way it used to.” Yes, there has been infatuation with the golden calf of the institutional model, the shiny, comfortable church, the big empires and networks. But we are at a turning point.

Even leaders in those spaces sense the shift. They know it cannot continue as it has.

And if you are a pastor or leader, this is not a condemnation. It is an invitation to surrender to the fresh move of God.

I had a dream recently. I was in what felt like an underground bunker that was hidden. Revival was breaking out in that space. It felt familiar to moves of the past, yet entirely new. When I stepped outside the room, it was like an underground city with streets and buildings, all filled with the glory of God.

When I woke up, the phrase rose from my spirit: “The underground church is about to rise.”


For years, we’ve associated “underground church” with persecution in places like China, and not to disregard their suffering because it's something we have no understanding of in the West, but spiritually speaking, there has been an UNDERGROUND church in the West. And there has been a remnant spiritually sidelined and misunderstood, John the Baptists, who did not fit the mold.

But let me say this - The reason you’ve been underground is that God has preserved you.

In 1 Kings 19:18, God reserved seven thousand who did not bow to Baal. In times of Jezebelic culture and compromise, God preserved a remnant. Obadiah hid these prophets in caves. Think of Daniel in Babylon with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego preserved as signposts of purity within a compromised system. In Acts 2, it was the hidden ones in the upper room that became the early Church emerging in power.
God has always preserved a remnant for pivotal moments of change.

And now, the underground church is rising.

This word is for those who have asked, “God, when will You use me? When will people grow tired of old systems?”

It is happening.

We are not celebrating what is falling, but we are celebrating purification. We want to see leaders within compromised systems come into the new thing, and the hidden Davids rise up.

Because the hidden ones carry the blueprints of heaven.

They will not wear Saul’s armor.
They will not cater to Jezebelic culture.
They will not be bought, branded, or controlled.

They have remained faithful in the small, and God is about to elevate what was stewarded in obscurity.

Also, this is not about social media status. The measure of ministry is not visibility. There will be moves of God that are never broadcast.

But God will shine His light at the right time so those blueprints can be shared.

There are believers on the fringe right now tempted to drift back into the world because they cannot find healthy spaces, and it is our assignment to create those spaces, places of healing, and places surrendered to the Holy Spirit.

What if you are called to birth that space? We are tired of environments where the Holy Spirit is not welcome, but control is. Where submission is demanded, but presence is not there.

What if God preserved you to lead the Church into health? What if you are carrying the fresh wine saved for last?

Underground church, rise up in the mighty name of Jesus.
