This is the third prophecy I have received since April 5, 2026, when the Lord began to reveal His intention to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. His strategy is to bring severe disruption to the global economy. In addition, the Spirit again confirmed His plan to bring Xi Jinping's rule in China to an end, triggering factions within China's military establishment to rise up against one another.Download the prophecy: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/06/the-lord-will-war-against-the-nations-from-the-strait-of-hormuz/Live links for all prophecies referred to in the above document:https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/the-time-of-the-lords-accelerated-judgments-coming-to-america/https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/the-lords-choke-hold-at-the-strait-of-hormuz-the-humiliation-of-president-trump/https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/the-roller-coaster-of-the-lords-wrath-global-instability-the-judgment-of-washington-d-c/https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2025/07/prophetic-vision-the-epic-outpourings-of-the-holy-spirit-starting-in-china/https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2024/02/the-lords-earth-shattering-event-in-city-of-urumqi-center-of-asia-xinjiang-china//https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2023/10/a-prophetic-vision-three-men-have-set-the-stage/https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2024/04/xi-jinping-his-leaders-the-ccp-will-not-escape-the-lords-wrath/https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/the-lord-aligning-the-nations-for-judgment-the-ultimate-fulfillment-of-his-promises-for-china/More prophecies and training resources are available for FREE on our website at joshuarevivalproject.org, and we won't even ask you for your email.

In a few seconds, the Holy Spirit revealed the truth of what the Lord does through His word. He wants to bring revelation, Fresh Bread, by His Spirit to His people. It is up to pastors and ministers to make certain they are hungry for the Lord and to know Him better! Knowing the Lord Jesus through the revelation He promised would come by His Holy Spirit is paramount to the Body of Christ growing in maturity. In Ephesians chapter 1, Paul prayed that the Lord would grant the Ephesian Church a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Christ. We must be hungry and thirsty for revelatory knowledge that is foundational in the New Covenant (Jer 31:31-34).Download the blog post here: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/05/a-vision-of-jesus-feeding-his-flock-through-his-word/More prophecies and training resources are available for FREE on our website at joshuarevivalproject.org, and we won't even ask you for your email.

The Lord has released six prophetic messages since March 31, 2026. This is the last in the series, where the Lord states, "These are the days when the dominoes of My judgments will fall at an accelerated pace." This follows what He has said concerning His taking center stage at the Strait of Hormuz. In this vision, He reveals that as He moves to surround America with His army, particularly in Texas, His churches will begin to listen to Him again. As to the churches in Texas, He said, "I've been speaking to them, but they haven't been listening. As My judgment falls, they will have their ears tuned to Me."All of the prophecies I summarize in this video can be downloaded by clicking on the following links:Prophetic Vision: The Time for Battle - https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/prophetic-vision-the-time-for-battle/2.

The Lord called me to move in tongues and then to interpret on this video, so you will definitely want to hear with the Spirit is saying to the underground Church in China. In this prophetic vision, the Holy Spirit revealed that He has brought a shift as He moves in judgment against the nations. Things will begin to unfold rapidly. He then shifted to speaking of the demise of Xi Jinping and the factions that will begin to appear within China's military. These factions will begin to break apart and fight against one another. The Lord made it clear that He wants to encourage the underground Church in China. He will bring their deliverance as He moves powerfully against the CCP. The Lord will lead His Church upward to take their place in China. Great signs and wonders will take place through the ministries of the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers that He will raise up and work through.PDF Document: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/the-lord-aligning-the-nations-for-judgment-the-ultimate-fulfillment-of-his-promises-for-china/Video: https://youtu.be/WPOey-nIr3wMore prophecies and training resources are available for FREE on our website at joshuarevivalproject.org, and we won't even ask you for your email.

There is no need to fear, unless you are walking in disobedience to the Holy Spirit, dishonoring Him on a continual, habitual basis. If so, you have a great deal to fear.

This is a very hard word that brings me no joy in sharing it. Nevertheless, it is the word of the Lord. The Lord confirms His intention to humble President Trump and his cabinet, something He revealed in October 2025. He also reveals His intention to continue to keep the Strait of Hormuz as a choke point for the nations. The nations, including the United States, will ultimately recognize that Heaven rules them.Link to the PDF that includes live links to previous and relevant prophecies: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/the-lords-choke-hold-at-the-strait-of-hormuz-the-humiliation-of-president-trump/Link to the JRP March 24, 2026 E-Newsletter: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/03/an-overview-of-the-lord-fulfilling-prophecies-worldwide-march-24-2026/More prophecies and training resources are available for FREE on our website at joshuarevivalproject.org, and we won't even ask you for your email.

In this vision, I saw the Spirit of the Lord and His armies advancing against the enemy on a broad front. He made it clear that He was about to move in great power. He also revealed that the precedents of His judging both Iran and China will be replicated worldwide against all nations. This dovetails together with all He previously revealed concerning His intent to attack the global economy and cut trade between all nations.Download the PDF document: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/04/prophetic-vision-the-time-for-battle/Link to the JRP March 24, 2026 E-Newsletter: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/03/an-overview-of-the-lord-fulfilling-prophecies-worldwide-march-24-2026/More prophecies and training resources are available for FREE on our website at joshuarevivalproject.org, and we won't even ask you for your email.

On February 4, 2026 I received a series of three dreams in one night that had one theme: People had drifted into meaningless nonsense. In the first dream I was speaking to a Christian seminary student. In the second, I was speaking to a famous singer and songwriter. In the third and final dream, I spoke to two corporate marketing professionals. While doing so, another member of the a company, who I apparently had addressed previously, came to say that "the questions you posed to us concerning the meaninglessness of our work have haunted us. We would like to discuss the topic further." A seminary student, a famous rock singer/songwriter, and three corporate marketing professionals - all lost in meaningless thinking, speaking and "serving up" nonsense. Following Christ, dedicated our lives to Him, hearing and obeying the voice of His Spirit by tuning in and studying the Bible will lead to a meaningful life. The Lord has said that He will destroy the wisdom of this age. If we choose not to follow Christ, we end up full of foolish ideology that we believe is true but is actually a lie.Download the article for FREE: https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/02/reject-the-path-of-meaninglessness/More prophecies and training resources are available for FREE on our website at joshuarevivalproject.org, and we won't even ask you for your email.

The Lord revealed to me on Feb. 22, 2026, that busyness is idolatry. I had occasion to observe a number of people seemingly endlessly busy with things; if it wasn't one thing, it was another. Weeks soon spanned months, and still they were not hearing from the Lord, and yet, life was full for them. Or was it? This teaching from the Lord and what He revealed He was about to do with His people stopped me in my tracks. While I meditated on this revelation, I realized that an earlier set of dreams that were released to me during the night of February. 4, 2026, were linked together, which I've titled Reject the Path of Meaninglessness. Both the series of dreams and this revelation can be downloaded in PDF for free by clicking the following links:https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/02/busyness-is-idolatry/https://joshuarevivalproject.org/2026/02/reject-the-path-of-meaninglessness/More prophecies and training resources are available for FREE on our website at joshuarevivalproject.org, and we won't even ask you for your email.

ABOUT THE EVENTMusicians For Musicians Celebrates 10 Years of Music Advocacy with Star-Studded Performance Event at The Cutting Room"In this crazy time with so much social-political-cultural turmoil happening here in the US and around the world,” says Ladjevardi, “I firmly believe that musicians' vital role is to speak out for their communities and come up with messages that will create solidarity among a particular group of people and unite them to fight for their cause. Musicians are the most powerful artists whose sounds can have an impact on people's conscience in a second." - Sohrab aka SoSaLaMusicians For Musicians (MFM), a nonprofit association founded in 2015 by saxophonist and activist Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi aka SoSaLa, emerged from a deep need to organize freelance musicians into a unified voice for fair compensation, labor protection, and industry recognition. Advocating for the rights, recognition, and fair pay of freelance and independent musicians proudly announces its 10th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, September 5, at The Cutting Room in New York City. This special event kicks off at 9:00 p.m., with musical performances starting at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are free for MFM members and $20 for non-members. Over the past decade, MFM has united musicians across genres and geographies under a single mission: to raise music from a passion to a profession through advocacy, education, and solidarity. From educational webinars and podcasts to championing the Freelance Isn't Free Act and amplifying national campaigns for fair streaming royalties and AI protections, MFM has been a driving force in elevating music as a profession.The highlight of the evening will be an exceptional performance by the MFM Unity Ensemble, featuring Grammy Award-winning saxophonist/band leader and educator Joe Lovano and 8x Grammy Award-winning pianist/composer/ band leader and Afro Latin Jazz Alliance founder Arturo O'Farrill. Their collaboration will celebrate both MFM's mission and the power of collective musical expression.Later in the evening, there will be another exceptional performance by New York's Nu NO WAVE band SoSaLa — led by saxophonist/singer SoSaLa—featuring guitarist Mark C. (Live Skull) and drummer Andy Weintraub. Together, they will create music that transcends both rock and jazz.The event will also include remarks from MFM board members, Advisory Committee representatives, and video tributes from supporters.Supporters can support the organization by purchasing limited-edition MFM merchandise, including event-branded T-shirts. 100% of ticket and merch proceeds will go to benefit MFM's ongoing programs and campaigns.

Another mixed bag of questions this week, including pension tax free cash, salary sacrifice for electric cars, de-risking a pension and buying gilts! Join us as we answer your most pressing questions! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA15 01:05 Question 1 Love the show, and whilst not all relevant to my own circumstances, find it all very interesting and enjoyable. Question :-You regularly discuss taking the 25% tax free and what to do with the rest (annuity or drawdown) but need advice as I have 4 different pension pots, 3 frozen and 1 existing employer. I am looking to take the 25% from one of the frozen ones to pay off mortgage but not clear on the below: - Can I keep the remaining 75% in the pension scheme and not take either drawdown or annuity until a later date (when I take early retirement)? - More importantly, I am sure I have read that once you start to take your pension, the amount you can contribute is capped. How does this work if it is a frozen pension I am taking the 25% out of and would this impact on my current employer pension contributions? Thanks as always Paul 05:19 Question 2 Hi Pete and Roger, Absolutely love the show, after listening to yourself for a number of years, I'm 30 and would even go to say I'm financially savvy as a result of everything I've learned over the years I'm wondering if you could help me with a question? My retired dad was looking for an electric car and as I've got a salary sacrifice scheme with work it seemed the best way to get an electric car for him. My father said that he would give me the equivalent of the total rental amount in cash as I pay for the car via Salary sacrifice on a monthly basis. I'm obviously the policy holder, with the responsibility for it but my father would be named as a driver (unsure if this is relevant). This amount is around £35k, and I'm wondering if the worst was to happen (father kicking the bucket under 7 years) how would this be treated for tax purposes? As the money is in effect to pay for a good or service, would drawing up a contract or something of the like allow it to not be treated as a gift and exempt from the estate upon death, the same as if you send a family member money for a holiday or other purchases? Thanks so much for your help! Ruben 10:37 Question 3 Hi guys, love the podcast! I have a workplace pension that's currently invested in a fairly basic fund, and I'm looking to take more control over it by choosing my own investments. I'm 38, so I still have time before I need to think about de-risking. My plan is to allocate 80% to a global equity fund, 10% to the S&P 500, and 10% to global bonds. I don't have a huge amount invested, but it's enough to make me consider whether I should be a bit tactical with my approach. With global index funds near all-time highs, should I wait for a slight market dip before making these changes, or just go ahead and make the move now? Steve. 13:59 Question 4 Hi Pete, Great idea to pause the “new material” and focus on questions. I was thinking that there are only so many ways to skin a cat/re-frame a concept! I would very much like to hear a little more around the concept of a bond or gilt ladders as one approaches/reaches retirement. Despite being a Chartered Accountant and working in financial services, I'm embarrassed to admit that I become flummoxed when thinking about how to set such up. I understand gilts can be purchased individually and held to maturity (as opposed to gilt or bond funds), but where and how do we buy them if our retirement savings are tied up in our employer's pension scheme - and they certainly don't offer such! I dare say that the demographic of your listeners/viewers are “of a certain age” where this sort of subject would be of interest. Thanks and all the best Avid listener Peter Coleman 22:22 Question 5 Love your podcast, it's been really helpful since setting up our business. Got a question for you, my wife and I set up the business 3 years ago and it's gone incredibly well so far. After pension contributions at £60k each and paying ourselves a salary/dividend equal to £100k each per year, the business continues to accumulate money. We currently have £750k spread across multiple business savings accounts. However, is there a better way to manage this money? We have considered setting up a housing rental company but we have not looked into this in detail. We have a financial advisor who seems to focus heavily on pensions rather than what we can do with the surplus money. Thanks, Mark C 28:25 Question 6 Hi there, I've invested in vanguard index funds for over a decade and have recently begun to actually think what goes on behind the scenes? When we invest in passive funds, like S&P 500, does that money blindly go into the businesses that make up that fund - ie just giving money to them, not knowing how good they are as companies, just because they happen to be part of an index, they get the investor's cash? I read somewhere, for example, there's billions of dollars invested in Amazon from index funds yet all that money was given by people like me who have no idea about these businesses? I feel like I've totally misunderstood how it works so interested to hear. Thanks, Marc
Houses of the Holy is a riveting true story of survival, perseverance, and a fight for justice that cuts to the heart of corruption. In this deeply unsettling exposé, Mark Harris pulls back the curtain on a powerful nexus where the federal government, state officials, far-right extremists, religious leaders, the mob, and the secretive world of Freemasonry converge in unholy alliances. This unprecedented journey reveals the depths of influence wielded by money and religion over politics and law enforcement, exposing the legacy of hate and corruption entwined within. Harris introduces a cast of larger-than-life characters, each as bizarre as they are terrifying: a convicted criminal with immunity from the law, a mobster's son linked to crime boss Santo Trafficante Jr., George W. Bush's former attorney, a doctor who handpicked the first astronauts, and a lineup of religious figures willing to overlook any sin to shield a monster. Alongside former Governor Rick Scott and future Acting U.S. Attorney Generals, these figures build a twisted tapestry that Harris courageously unravels, shedding light on the shocking, hidden power plays that sustain their authority.BookWebsite" There is some jumping in this recording; while I've repaired most of it, as you will hear The Opperman Report had to cut the first call short as it became difficult to hear the interviewee and then continue on another, more stable connection.
