2024 WAR & GLORY "Brace For Impact"

2024 WAR & GLORY “BRACE FOR IMPACT” BY WENDY CORONA

[PROPHETIC INSTRUCTION FOR 2024]

SETTING THE STAGE

As we stepped into the first days of 2024, the Spirit showed me we are entering an era of WAR AND GLORY. Yesterday I dreamt of war planes flying overhead as the Glory Cloud of God surrounded me. This was just another confirmation. God speaks in dreams through secret codes. I have been seeing for a few years how God is preparing those willing to partner with him. This is not the time to continue to let your spirit slumber.

This playbook will give you a clear outline to becoming prepared, even if this is new to you.

2020 marked the beginning of a new move of God and sparked an awakening where many began to be more sensitive to spiritual things and began a process of consecration. People’s spirits began to awaken and God showed me this as flames of fire lighting up all over the globe. I’ve been waiting for this era since 2005.

EPHESIANS 5:14 – "AWAKE all you who sleep and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, REDEEMING the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding WHAT THE WILL of the Lord is."

HEBREWS 5: 13 – "For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are MATURE, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to DISCERN both good from evil (pure and impure)."

ROMANS 13:11-14 – "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."

2021 was the year God showed me His Glory would flood the earth like a Tsunami. He called for us to prepare ourselves with oil, meaning it was time to pay the price to get it. This was a call to priesthood in order to be one who carries His Glory and is able to withstand what is coming. 

Those who are not prepared would drown (meaning, circumstances could come. Even to devastating degrees). We need to be warring in the spirit to make way for his glory. As God releases his glory on earth, darkness releases war against us. You need to get ready, be ready, and stay ready.

MATTHEW 25:1-13 – "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."

2022 began the inspiring of militant devotion… to be immovable, resilient, and walk in the Spirit. This was a deep rooting of character and quick training for higher standards. We can no longer live passively reacting to circumstances but need to take control and become unshakable. 

2023 the sifting came and began to shake and test hearts. This was a year of much pain for many and it brought to the surface what was hiding in the depths of people’s hearts. This was a setup to receive new garments and for the blessing and anointing to be released to those who passed the testing.

2024 was the call to “brace for impact.” We must prepare for war, and prepare for Glory. There are extreme circumstances approaching and those who have not prepared will be overtaken by the wave. Those who did not pass the test of sifting their heart will continue to experience the brunt of the spiritual war at hand. 

Those who are prepared will be challenged just before the Glory is released upon them. Why? Satan comes to resist you just before you come out of the fire purified. We see this in:

ZECHARIAH 3:1 – "…and he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him."

ZECHARIAH 3:2 – "And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?"

In order to move beyond the resisting, you have to pass your test of purification. If you do not pass the test in your heart you will delay what God has for you and prolong the shaking in your life. You are a vital piece to God’s plan and He’d rather you be a harvester (of souls and wealth) than collateral damage.

If you don’t want to feel the brunt of the impact of this spiritual war, you will need to lock into what God is doing and decide to STOP BEING A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE.

Both God is increasing his release of glory on earth and so darkness also is raging war more intensely. Even though this is generally the case as history and culture progress, the “veil” is thin and there is an opportunity for great manifestation of his tangible presence if we are willing vessels 

What if I told you there is a surefire formula for carrying the manifest presence of God? Would you seek it out?

PROVERBS 25:2 – "It is the GLORY of God to conceal a matter, the GLORY of kings to search it out.”

The first key is simple if you are ready for war. See most people lose the war in their hearts. Your heart posture can betray you and blind you instantly, making you miss what God has for you. Here is how you need to use 2024 to prepare for war and Glory... 

GOD SAYS, “BRACE FOR IMPACT”

1. BE BLAMELESS [PURE OF HEART]

You’d think that being pure of heart would be easy and common sense. Still, many stay stagnant and stuck in cycles because they don’t guard their heart against the tiny things that creep in. We harbor stubbornness (which is disobedience, rebellion), criticism, “white lies,” unforgiveness, and many other things with the excuse that “we are human.” It is possible to rid yourself of all these feelings.

2. BE IMMOVABLE AND UNOFFENDABLE AS A MARTYR

The number one strategy against your heart is OFFENSE. Sometimes it is perceived offense and other times you have been mistreated. It’s up to you if you want to walk in the fullness of what God has for you or if you want to keep delaying it. Being offended and taking the identity of victim (even if they abused you) is not an option if you intend to walk in the character of God.  Allowing oppressive and tormenting spirits to continue to replay your past and what they did to you, is no longer an option. Telling the story about who and what they did to you, is not an option. It’s time to take control of the thoughts you allow to enter your mind, what you allow yourself to dwell on, and how long you tolerate those spirits making a home in your heart.

1 PETER 1:22 – "Having PURIFIED your souls by your OBEDIENCE to the truth for a SINCERE brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a PURE HEART."

PSALM 15 – "Lord, who shall dwell [temporarily] in Your tabernacle? Who shall dwell [permanently] on Your holy hill? He who walks and lives uprightly and BLAMELESSLY, 

who works rightness and justice and SPEAKS AND THINKS THE TRUTH IN HIS HEART, He who does NOT SLANDER with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a REPROACH against his neighbor;

In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he who HONORS those who fear the Lord (who revere and worship Him); who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

[He who] does not put out his money for interest [to one of his own people] and who will not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall BE IMMOVABLE."

3. MATURE YOUR DISCERNMENT

You will need to know the Spirit of God for yourself to be able to know “truth” from a “form of truth.” No longer can you rely on going to church to encounter God, or get your fill. You need to encounter Him one-on-one. THIS is THE ONLY WAY to avoid being one of the “many who will be deceived.” We need to push past surface-level discernment and begin to mature it. This is why you see so much ungodliness in church (and are surprised no one caught it), have leaders and many people who never walk in the full character of God, go through so many relational problems, struggle with mental health, and continue to repeat cycles in life. Taking control of your mind is the first step to maturing in discernment.

Get to know the characteristics of the Spirit of God and the fruits of the Spirit. Sift every thought to determine if it’s inspired by God’s Spirit or something else. Don’t get weird about this and freak out about having a spirit. They’re around and if you let their inspiration enter your heart, they will get into your heart. Think of them as energy. Have you ever felt the “energy” or “vibe” in a room? What you are sensing are Spirits. They are nothing to be intimidated by and they inspire a wide collection of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and compulsions. All you have to do is reject everything that is not truth and take control by casting it down and casting the spirits out until they leave. If you let them stay they will keep pressing you until you give in. Denial is not your friend here. Fast if you need to.

1 JOHN 4:1 – "BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

2 CORINTHIANS 10:5 – "CASTING DOWN arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing EVERY THOUGHT into captivity to the obedience of Christ,"

MARK 16:17 – "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will CAST OUT demons, they will speak with new tongues"

MARK 9:29 – "And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and FASTING."

HEBREWS 5: 13 – "For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are MATURE, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to DISCERN both good from evil (pure and impure)."

LEVITICUS 10:10 – "Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee… that ye may DISCERN between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean (pure and unpure)."

4. BE HUMBLE [GOD IS BREAKING THE SYSTEM]

God is breaking man-made systems. He is going to back people without the credentials of man, without the approval of man, and this is going to test the hearts of Christians. God will use people whom Christians will judge of “the world” and dismiss as unqualified, or not of God according to their own judgment.

ACTS 15:9 – "and made NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN US AND THEM, purifying their hearts by faith."

JOHN 7:24 – "Do not judge according to APPEARANCE, but judge with righteous judgment."

5. DO NOT ENGAGE IN CIVIL WAR 

As more people begin to lift their opinions the war will get loud. Criticism and judgment will be spewing out of their mouths like clanging cymbals. This will pit Christians against Christians and it does not reflect GOD’s CHARACTER. GOD MOURNS HEARTS that turn from Him because they let pride creep in and YOU SHOULD MOURNE TOO. Pride, self-righteousness, and religion will blind the best of us and it is up to us to stop the bleeding of the Body of Christ, not add salt to the wound.

Correction must not be based on opinion, but truth, and should always be done with the motive to redeem and restore. Your job is to NEVER give up on people, not to judge if they are too far gone. If you are abrasive and antagonistic, you lose the honor of being part of their redemption. Genuine concern carries the mourning of Jesus’ heart. If you are not in relationship with a person, it is probably NOT your place to correct but to PRAY. Only God knows the depth of a person’s heart and their full journey. You can only see their current state, this is why it not your job to judge. 

MATTHEW 12:22 – "A city or house DIVIDED against itself will not stand. "

PSALM 35: 11-14 – "FALSE WITNESSES did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They reward me evil for good, To the sorrow of my soul. 

But as for me, when they were sick, My clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with FASTING; And my prayer would return to my own heart. I paced about as though he were my friend or brother; I bowed down heavily, as one who MOURNS for his mother."

2 TIMOTHY 4:2 – "Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with COMPLETE PATIENCE and teaching."

GALATIANS 6:1 – "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted."

1 CORINTHIANS 13:1 – "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a CLANGING CYMBAL.  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING."

6. FIGHT FOR UNITY 

HONOR people, all people, and their gifts. God is stirring up COLLABORATION amongst those who are His. Your role can only get you so far. You will need to accept you are only a piece of the puzzle to reach the full potential of what God wants to do. We only see in part so we should not be relying only on our gifts alone to accomplish what God needs us to do. Those who can humble themselves and allow God to knit them together in relationship and collaboration will see the fullness of the move of God. He is dismantling oppressive hierarchy where leaders are not pulling out your full potential for fear you will surpass them, or take your gift out of what they are building. Of course, darkness would love for us to be unable to come into unity. If we want to see the Glory of God, the impossible, we need to learn to BE ONE in Him.

 1 CORINTHIANS 13 – "Again I say to you that if two of you AGREE on earth concerning ANYTHING that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven."

GENESIS 11:5 – "Indeed the people ARE ONE and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now NOTHING that they propose to do will be withheld from them."

7. BE THE LIGHT NOT THE IDOL

Do not let performance and works dictate your purpose. Your purpose is to BE you, the “light” who walks in the CHARACTER of God. It is not what YOU DO. Your fruit should be the fruit of the Spirit. Don’t miss out on this move because you want to build your own name, resume, business, and ministry and feel like you have accomplished something you can show for. If you taint your heart posture it becomes worthless. Remember God sees the heart before you even act on it and He moves out of the way and gives you over to your own desires. This leads to BLINDNESS because all you see is the wonderful works you’ve done and it leads you to believe you are doing God’s will.

EZEKIEL 14:4 – "Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols."

PHILIPPIANS 2:14 – "Do all things without GRUMBLING or DISPUTING, that you may be BLAMELESS and innocent, children of God without blemish amidst a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as LIGHTS in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I DID NOT RUN IN VAIN OR LABOR IN VAIN."

8. BE SOBER

Remember when Peter said to Jesus, “This shall never happen to You!” About his death. Jesus replied, “Get behind me, Satan!” This means that although Peter was a son of God with good intentions, he still had the spirit of Satan in him! He was blind to the spirit he was operating in. Jesus had already warned him earlier, “Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.”

Good intentions and your heart can still lead you out of the will of God if you are not first seeking Him to receive instruction and knowledge. You need to be led by HIS Spirit every step of the way. We make the mistake of looking for affirmation, recognition, and elevation in our gifts, titles, and accomplishments to satisfy our ego and our heart. Instead, we should be seeking how we can serve and give ourselves to His purpose. Being elevated by God can only come as a result of a life laid down and a pure heart that is willing to lose its reputation. It cannot be earned through the manipulation of works. The more you seek His recognition, the longer your maturing takes and the longer the process lasts.

God’s NEW SYSTEM (or new wineskin) will not be attainable through the same ‘ol building of man-made accolades. This is a MOVE of GOD that can only be led by the spontaneity of the Spirit and is quenched by our own agendas.

9. BUILD A STOREHOUSE OR SEVEN (ASAP)

It’s time to build storehouses because, without them, God does not have anywhere to send you increase in preparation for the hardship He is preparing us for. Build multiple streams of income, and recurring income streams. Those who can, should get into industries that provide sources of essential living necessities (especially food). Do not rely on the government to aid you, be as self-sufficient as you can.

PSALM 24: 3-5 – "Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a PURE HEART, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive BLESSING from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation."
