The last time the bars were closed down in Kentucky…God did it. It was the Second Great Awakening.

The original camp meetings and outpourings that occurred at Red River Meeting House and Cane Ridge Meeting House caused such a deep transformation in the cultural fabric of Kentucky that the morality of this society was converted.

One of the biggest evidences of this great work of redemption and revival was the mass deliverance from alcohol across the badlands of Kentucky.

Kentucky had developed a reputation of being rough, sinful, intoxicated, and quarrelsome. However, when the Spirit of God began to brood over the land, changes quickly transpired. People changed. Roughnecks, gamblers, and alcoholics were beautifully saved and set free from their previous lifestyles of sin.

For a couple hundred years, many, if not most, of Kentucky’s counties remained dry.

More recently, backsliding has been the new staple of Kentucky’s culture. More and more counties have been turning wet.

Kentucky’s new identity is Bourbon whiskey. Most of the world’s Bourbon is made in Kentucky—a fact the state is proud of, a fact that is embraced and heralded.

Unfortunately, the church has also been weak when tempted by this evil. More and more Christians are partaking of alcohol with no shame.

At the same time, Preachers are afraid to preach against sin.

Some Preachers are completely deceived by the apostasy of the age. Their eyes have been blinded. Their consciences have been seared. Their thinking has been gobbled up and rewired by demons of deception and doctrines of devils.

Drunken with deception and stuck in a backslidden state… Kentucky, with so many other folks from around the world, is now sick.

But, allow me to point out that there was first a sickness of mind, nerves, and emotions that spread quietly, creeping it’s way across the land. This soul- sickness left people vulnerable to the allure of drugs. Thus, the drug-riddled problems have been mounting with little resistance or solution.

Yet, the church didn’t effectively confront the stronghold of pharmakeia. Instead, the church allowed the government to try to wage war on drugs. But this war can’t be won by fighting in the flesh and blood realm.

As of now, too many generations have come and gone, lost in wandering. Children from every spectrum of humanity have been affected.

The pharmakeia devil has opened the door to many other demons, especially those that alter the minds, demons of deception.

With the influx of demons into the mind of society there has been a weakened immune system in regards to morality and justice.

Sadly, I say…Welcome to the backslidden era, where the alcohol is flowing and marijuana is becoming legal. Sin is ok because grace is the new god. All the while, the pulpit has become our generation’s biggest coward.

Fast forward and here we are again: the bars are closed. Interestingly, this time the church is also closed.

Folks are panicked and hiding as the corona champion stomps around and taunts its threats.

Obviously, we need a win. We need a Joshua. We need a David. We need a new day.

So, let fear go to Hell. Let the lies and curses be shut up. And, let the head that has been filled with a deceived mind, be cut off.

Something sinister has been trying to take our land. Nevertheless, I hear the Spirit saying a radical, sanctified, wildness is stirring. The little people are about to rise up.

A day of no more wandering, and no more cowering. A day of killing corona and taking back our land is now upon us.

Crazy anointings are about to burst forth. Remember when destined men roared with anointed slingshots, sticks, coats, handkerchiefs and aprons, even their shadows were packing power? I believe God is about to release such men and women again with original identities and unique anointings.

Furthermore, a new breed of remnant men and women of God are fixing to come on the scene. These wild but godly ones will be revival warriors. A fervency and fire of revival will flow out of them. And, they will exist with an edge, like weaponry that has been readied for this hour.

The eleventh hour anointing is coming. It will equip the church with the same wages (anointings) of previous hours. We will be lacking for nothing.

The great Shepherd is about to walk us out of this valley.

The day is hastening. History’s greatest revival will emerge as Corona exits.

The Kentucky-Tennessee Revivals

In March of 2019, God began speaking to me about the fire and the spirit of revival that will link Tennessee and Kentucky together in a long-running season of awakening. Here are the words I have been hiding in my journal for the past year:

This move will extend from Fort Knox to Knoxville. Kentucky will have many friends of God, keepers of the secrets that will emerge with a red-hot timely anointing. Out of central Tennessee, apples of gold will be delivered by a new breed of Evangelists. Among those Evangelists, look for fiery, spirit-filled women who will walk with authority and compassion.

As a sign of this move, I see earthquakes happening near the TN/KY border.

From Nashville to Louisville there will be a redemption of place and the prophetic identities of cities and regions will be healed. Places that have suffered from tarnished reputations will experience a spiritual renewal and a reclamation of godly reputation.

From Chattanooga to Corbin there will be a kingdom train. I see an alignment of ministries and a combining and sharing between ministries in the states that will be a marvel to the rest of the nation.

From Morristown to Bardstown, a folk revival is coming. A fresh anointing is coming upon the singers and songwriters. I hear sounds of justice and deep, heartfelt pleadings of the soul that modern Christian music isn’t accustomed to. There will be songs that are prayers and songs that weep. This will be a gift and anointing from God.

From Morehead to Bulls Gap, the outcasts, oddballs, witches, occultists, heavy metal-heads, and such will be won. God’s going to love them into the kingdom.

Cumberland Gap is a womb. Watch what emerges from and into this tri-state region.

From Memphis to Paris, there’s a sound of longing. Greatness is waiting to find a new day.

From Elizabethtown to Maryville, this revival will raise up holy women who will carry the miraculous.

From Bristol to Pikeville, I see campfires. I see pockets of unique revivals.

From LaFollette to Owensboro, I see a bubbling up of old wells. There are some places that have experienced revival in past years that are about to experience it again. Yesteryear is about to high five today and brand new sparks are going to erupt. Plus, the river will rise and revivals will see things that the former ones never did.

From Lexington to Kingsport, people will come from other parts of the country and world just to experience the unusual and blessed outpouring that is happening in these revivals. And, many will want to hear the angels that come and sing along on the new songs of glory that will be captured in this move. Well known Ministers from faraway places will visit this revival.

Get ready! This thing has already been set into motion. The next trigger point could happen anytime now.

Firebrands will face extra Hell and warfare because of their anointing and destiny.

Nevertheless, these warriors of revival are steadfast, focused, and they’re moving on with marching orders. They might stumble, but they won’t stay down. They’ve been baptized in the consuming fire of God’s presence.

They’re unlike the pew-warmers that fill many churches today. So, occasionally these freedom fighters need to be encouraged.

These firebrands need to know that it’s ok to be radical. So, if thats you…keep breathing fire. Keep your shout, your dance, and your song. Don’t let anyone rob you of your Holy Ghost joy.

Don’t turn down just to accommodate the backslidden and the lukewarm. We need you to burn.

There’s a time to be quiet and there’s a time to shout. This ain’t the time to hold back. This is the hour of awakening. This is the time for the radicals—the fiery ones—to emerge and roar.

God is sanctifying chosen ones for this hour. They will walk in deliverance, for they are the delivered ones.

They will be a new breed. They will be the final hour torches being lit by a last days Apostolic fury. They will run and not grow weary. They will chase out devils.

This group of hungry ones will be rich in prophetic and evangelistic oil. No generation has witnessed the powerful display of signs, wonders, and fruitfulness like this one is about to.

The developed countries such as the U.S., the U.K., and even Russia are about to be rocked by the glory of God. The bell is about to ring.

The firebrands that have often felt out of place, odd, unwanted, or misunderstood are about to see things begin to click. Their destiny, their moment, their remnant brothers and sisters are all about to be revealed.

Get ready. The firebrands are coming.

Mike Ammons, a friend of mine, just dreamed this dream…twice. He shared it with me and I helped him with the interpretation. Here’s the dream:

[saw] a camp inside a wall. On the wall were 7 men. In the center of the wall was a flame. All seven men were crouched walking as they all began to alarm the camp inside the wall. A figure walks from the flame and an arrow is shot at a pathway that is aglow and also illuminates around the wall of the camp exposing where they are.

I heard a voice say this glow will expose and direct a move. The voice continued to say that the camp will walk in power and opposition will come but there is always counterfeit to the real.

Interpretation:

The seven men on the wall represent the fulness of the church (Rev. 1:4, Rev 2-3).

The alarm signifies timing; a kairos “right now” moment is upon us.

Jesus is the center, the figure walking from the flame (Rev 2:1).

The men were walking. Jesus was walking, stepping forth. This speaks of a movement. Another great Jesus Movement is about to happen.

The arrow is fresh fire being released. Revival fire.

The path is:

This fire-shot of revival will illuminate, or bring us back to what we’re supposed to be walking in.

Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls.

Jer 6:16

Guys! This is an exciting prophetic dream that beautifully corresponds with biblical imagery. This thing has already been initiated in the Spirit. The fuse has been lit. The hour of revival is upon us. Are you ready for this? The street lamps along the highway of holiness are turning on. No more wandering in the deserts of confusion or the valleys of complacency. This is the hour to arise, come forth, and march with sanctified purpose and passion. -Shane

One morning I walked into my office. As I crossed the room, approaching my desk, a shattering noise grabbed my attention. I quickly turned to see a collectible bottle of soda that had just fallen off my bookshelf and shattered onto the floor. Soda from 1974 was leaking out. The bottle commemorated Secretariat, the 1973 Kentucky Derby winner. I was born in 1973 and the collectible bottle was given to me as a gift. I was sad that it had broken. However, I felt it had a prophetic significance. So, I investigated the situation a little closer. I thought I had placed the bottle in a safe spot where it wouldn’t be easily knocked over. And, sure enough, my intrigue spiked when I noticed the culprit. I had a few books on that shelf and a couple of audio teaching series.  At the exact moment I was walking across the room, the books on that shelf lost their grip and started sliding. The end one was an audio teaching by Ray Hughes called The War Horse. That Warhorse had run across the shelf and it knocked off the Racehorse. The prophetic message I heard from that was: The racehorses here in horse-country Kentucky have been running well, but they’ve been running in circles and not really getting anywhere. Nevertheless, God is releasing the warhorses. God was ready to send help through a new and different way. The up-down, round and round cycles were about to be broken.

Since that time, I have had two different people give me an exactly matching collectible bottle to the one that was broken. Neither person knew the backstory. Each of these times, God has imparted a breaker anointing that releases folks from stuck cycles. These were interesting signposts that showed what God was about to do in a specific place.

I believe that God is more geographically minded than we realize. Places matter to God. So, begin to believe for regional breakthroughs. Allow your faith to call forth the mighty warhorses of God. No more running in circles. It’s time for change.

If you’re an intercessor, I believe God wants to take your faith and prayers to another level. I believe He wants to use you and your prayer connections to release and activate regional deliverance, salvation, and breakthroughs. So, arise and contend. Fresh oil is available for you.
