Prophecy Given To Pastor Joel on January 9th, 2026

This Prophecy given on 01-09-2026 at about 9 am to Pastor Joel of Open Heaven Christian Church – Fisher, Arkansas

When and Why This Prophecy Is Being Released

On the morning of January 9th, 2026, at approximately 9:00 a.m., during a quiet time of meditation on the Word of God, I experienced something that was both unexpected and deeply sobering. As I sat in my recliner in stillness before the Lord, I became aware of a strong and undeniable sense of His presence. In that moment, I perceived within my spirit a clear instruction: “Grab your laptop and start typing what I am about to reveal to you.” Without hesitation, I obeyed. I opened a blank document and began to write as the words came, carefully wrote down what I believed the Lord was revealing through a prophetic revelation by His Holy Spirit.

When the message was complete, I was stunned by the weight and seriousness of what had been given. Rather than immediately sharing it, I chose to hold it privately. My concern was not only about how it might be received, but also about the potential to cause unnecessary fear or panic. I briefly mentioned it to my wife that same day, but even then, I was cautious, not wanting to alarm her until I had greater clarity and confirmation.

Later, on February 10th, 2026, I felt led to share the full written prophetic message with her, and I sent it by email so she would have a record of it. That same evening, while in the 24/7 chat room, I hesitantly shared the prophecy with a small group of about six individuals who were present in the chat room. At their request to see the prophecy, I showed the document by screen share. Even then, I was careful not to present it in a way that would stir fear, because at that time I did not fully understand how or when the specific elements—particularly the date of January 15th, 2026—would begin to unfold.

Over time, as events in the world began to align with what had been written in my prophecy, and after continued prayer and seeking the Lord, I have now come to a place of conviction that this message is not meant to remain private. As of March 19th, 2026, I am releasing it publicly because I believe there is a responsibility to make it known so people can understand what the Lord is currently doing in the earth—not to create panic, but to call people to awareness, preparation, and ultimately to seek the Lord with all their heart as the day of the Lord draws closer then ever.

This is not being shared to elevate a personal experience, but out of a sincere belief that the message carries urgency. The intent is not fear, but readiness; not confusion, but clarity; and above all, that those who read it would turn their hearts toward God and be prepared for the times we are living in. – “But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

As you read this prophecy, know that the Lord is with you always. Jesus is only one prayer away from helping and guiding you. God says in Isaiah 41:10 do not Fear not, I will strengthen you.

THE ACTUAL PROPHECY…

My son I will speak and show you things that will soon come to pass upon the earth. These things have I kept secret, and am now revealing them to my true servants my prophets.

On January 15^th, 2026 I will begin to release my judgments on the earth. My judgments will cause a worldwide wonder among all the nations. Three things will begin to unfold and the world go through what will occur.

1. World economic systems will begin fail without notice.
2. The food chain industry will begin to collapse and cause a global famine.
3. I will bring many in the world to their knees.

During this time my children will humble themselves and cry unto me and the cry of my people will come up before me as a sweet aroma and I will respond with supernatural power to help my children when these things begin to occur on the earth.

The power of my Holy Spirit will move upon the earth from east to west over the face of the earth, and as my Spirit moves I will cause devastating destruction to those who oppose me, my people, my name, and my throne.

I have seen the war that my people have been warring because of the wicked who oppress and trouble them. The prayers of my people have come before my throne and now they will know that I AM will answer them when I visit the iniquity of the wicked who oppress them.

My Spirit will move with my power and no one will be able to withstand what I will begin to do in the earth. All who oppose me and my children will be humbled by my power. I will cause them devastation, and they will know that I AM the LORD of hosts on the day of their visitation, saith the Holy one.

I will cause those who mock me and those who scoff at my children to bow before me on the day I visit their iniquities, they will weep and howl and beg for my mercy when I release my vengeance upon them saith the Lord of hosts.

My children will see the reward that I will repay the wicked. I will send the wicked who dwell upon my earth devastating plagues. These plagues will make what I did to Pharaoh in Egypt look like child’s play.

I will release my people from the oppression that satan has used by the hands of the wicked who oppose my children, and I will destroy the very hands that were used of the devil so they will know that the Lord loves his children. That which the devil has stolen from my children will be released on the day of my visitation upon all evildoers that hate me saith the Lord of hosts.

I will open the windows of heaven and bless my children, and when you see this come to pass in the year 2026 you will know that I AM coming quickly.

My children be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, your deliverance shall come swiftly and you will see the reward of the wicked saith the Lord of hosts.

The Prophecy Explained…

The Lord said, “On January 15^th, 2026 I will begin to release my judgments on the earth. My judgments will cause a worldwide wonder among all the nations. Three things will begin to unfold and the world go through what will occur.”

Part of the prophecy the Lord gave me included three major world events that will begin on January 15th, 2026…

#1. World economic systems will begin fail without notice. #2.The food chain industry will begin to collapse and cause a global famine. #3. I will bring many in the world to their knees.

On March 19, 2026 I looked up what exactly what began to happen in the world and the results are shown below are astounding after conducting my own investigative research.

I will begin with the first part of the prophecy the Lord showed me on January 9, 2026.
Prophecy Part #1. World economic systems will begin fail without notice.

Here’s what was actually began to happen on January 15, 2026, based on reliable reports:

Here is a clear, accurate explanation of what happened on January 15, 2026, based on verified reports of the situation at that time:

⚠️ What Happened on January 15, 2026

On January 15, 2026, the world was watching a rapidly escalating situation centered on Iran and the United States, marked by military tension, political pressure, and sudden airspace restrictions.

✈️ 1. Iran Temporarily Closed Its Airspace

One of the most significant developments was that Iran shut down most of its airspace:

• The closure was issued through an official aviation warning (NOTAM)
• It restricted commercial and civilian flights
• Only limited flights were allowed with special permission
• The shutdown lasted several hours before reopening later the same morning

👉 During the closure:

• Air traffic over Iran nearly disappeared
• Airlines rerouted flights around the country
• Many flights were delayed or canceled

🛑 2. Reason: Rising U.S.–Iran Tensions

The airspace shutdown was directly tied to growing tensions with the United States, including:

• U.S. troop withdrawals or repositioning in the Middle East
• Warnings of possible military action
• Sanctions and political pressure on Iran
• Fear that the situation could escalate into open conflict

👉 In simple terms:
Iran closed its airspace as a defensive precaution, signaling:

• Heightened alert
• Fear of attack
• Preparation for possible military escalation

🪖 3. U.S. Military Activity and Regional Tension

At the same time:

• The U.S. was moving military assets into position
• Some personnel were being withdrawn from bases in the region
• Intelligence and governments were warning that a strike could be possible

👉 This created a high-stakes environment where:

• Both sides were preparing rather than fully engaging
• The world was on edge, watching for what might happen next

🌍 4. Impact on Global Systems (Even Before War)

Even though full-scale war had not officially broken out on January 15:

• Global aviation was disrupted
• Flight routes across the Middle East were rerouted
• Energy markets and global trade began reacting
• Nations issued travel warnings and advisories

👉 This shows how quickly tension in one region can affect:

• International travel
• Global logistics
• Economic stability

🧭 5. What January 15 Really Represents

January 15, 2026 was not a single dramatic event like a declared war—but rather a critical turning point of escalation:

• A moment when military tension became visible and measurable
• A signal that conflict was possible, even imminent
• A day marked by defensive moves and global uncertainty

✔️ Simple Summary

On January 15, 2026:

• Iran closed its airspace temporarily
• The U.S. and Iran were in a high-tension standoff
• Military forces were being repositioned
• The world was preparing for the possibility of conflict

👉 It was a warning stage before escalation, not the start of full war—but a clear sign that the situation was becoming extremely serious.

What happened next by January 25th, The Aftermath of January 15th, 2026 Tension

🔴 1. Aftermath of a Massive Crackdown in Iran

The most important context is the nationwide Iranian protests that began in late December 2025 and escalated in early January 2026.

• On January 8–9, 2026, Iranian security forces carried out an extremely violent crackdown on protesters.
• By January 25, new reports were emerging estimating tens of thousands of deaths from that crackdown.
• Some sources described it as one of the deadliest government crackdowns in modern history.

👉 So by January 25, the world wasn’t watching a new event—it was reacting to the scale of what had already happened.

🌐 2. International Condemnation & Human Rights Crisis

Just days before:

• On January 23, 2026, the United Nations Human Rights Council officially condemned Iran for killing thousands of protesters and demanded investigations.

By January 25:

• The situation was widely being called a humanitarian crisis
• There were growing calls for international intervention or accountability

📡 3. Internet Blackout & Information Suppression

Another major factor:

• Iran had imposed a nationwide internet shutdown starting January 8
• By January 25, the blackout was still largely in effect, limiting:
  • Communication inside Iran
  • Reporting to the outside world

This made January 25 a moment where:

• New casualty numbers were just beginning to leak out
• The true scale of the violence was still unclear

⚠️ 4. Rising U.S.–Iran Tensions (But Not Full War Yet)

U.S.–Iran tensions—and timing matters:

• In early January, the U.S. warned Iran about harming protesters
• By mid-to-late January:
  • The U.S. had pulled back some personnel
  • Regional countries were pushing to avoid war
  • Tensions were high but fluctuating, not at peak escalation yet

So on January 25:

• The situation was tense
• But it was more about uncertainty and buildup, not a direct military clash

🧭 5. What January 15 Really Represents

Think of January 15, 2026 as:

• A revelation point → when the world realized how severe the killings were
• A pressure point → international condemnation increased
• A pre-crisis stage → before later escalation (like the Strait of Hormuz crisis in late February)

✔️ Bottom Line

On January 25, 2026:

• No single defining event happened that day
• Instead, it marked a critical moment of global awareness about: January 15, 2026 was a “pivot-point” that would start more chaos in the world.
  • Mass killings during Iranian protests
  • A growing humanitarian crisis
  • Rising (but not yet explosive) U.S.–Iran tensions increases.

How exactly did this escalated into war with Iran and the USA?

(Based on my continued research on March 19, 2026)

Here is a clear, fact-based breakdown of how the situation escalated into war with Iran in 2026, when it officially crossed into war, and how it is directly affecting everyday costs like gas, groceries, and essentials.

⚔️ WHEN DID THE WAR ACTUALLY START?

The conflict became a real, active war on February 28, 2026:

• That’s when the U.S. (with Israel) launched direct military strikes on Iran
• From that point forward, both sides began ongoing attacks, retaliation, and escalation

👉 Economists and news sources consistently measure price increases “since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran”—marking that date as the start of the war

🔥 HOW IT ESCALATED INTO WAR (STEP-BY-STEP)

1. Internal Crisis in Iran (Late 2025 – January 2026)

• Massive protests and government crackdowns destabilized Iran
• The U.S. warned Iran against violence
• Iran became more defensive and aggressive regionally

2. Military Posturing & Threats (January–February 2026)

• Iran conducted military drills and issued warnings
• Israel prepared preemptive strike plans
• The U.S. repositioned troops and assets in the region

👉 At this stage: Not war yet—but heading there

3. First Direct Attacks (Feb 28, 2026) → WAR BEGINS

• U.S. + Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iranian targets
• Iran responded with missiles, drones, and proxy attacks

👉 This is the trigger point that turned tension into war

4. Regional Escalation (Early March 2026)

• Iran (or Iran-linked forces) targeted:
  • Saudi oil infrastructure
  • Gulf energy facilities
• Example:
  • March 2: Saudi refinery attack → oil price spiked

5. Strait of Hormuz Crisis (March 2026)

• This is critical:

👉 The Strait of Hormuz carries ~20% of the world’s oil

• Shipping slowed or halted
• Oil supply was disrupted globally

Result:

• Oil prices surged above $100–$126 per barrel

6. Direct U.S. Airstrikes (March 13, 2026)

• U.S. bombed 90+ Iranian military sites
• Iran escalated further

7. Energy Infrastructure War (Mid–Late March 2026)

• Strikes on oil and gas facilities on both sides

Example:

• March 18, 2026: Major attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field
• Iran retaliated across the Gulf

👉 This is when the war began seriously disrupting global energy supply

⛽ HOW THIS AFFECTS GAS PRICES (DIRECTLY)

Why gas prices have gone up?:

Gasoline comes from crude oil → war disrupts oil → prices rise

What actually happened:

• Gas prices jumped ~17–20% in the U.S.
• Example:
  • Before war: ~$2.98/gallon
  • After: ~$3.48–$3.58/gallon
• Some places:
  • California: $5+ per gallon
• Diesel (important for trucking and distribution of goods to markets):
  • Jumped 23% increase

Why it keeps rising:

• Oil supply disrupted
• Shipping blocked
• Fear/speculation drives prices higher

👉 Oil even surged to $114+ per barrel

🛒 HOW IT AFFECTS GROCERIES

This is where many people don’t realize the connection:

1. Transportation Costs

• Food must be:
  • Farmed
  • Shipped
  • Stored
• Trucks run on diesel → diesel fuel spikes → food prices rise

👉 “Nearly all goods… must travel… costs climb with fuel”

2. Fertilizer Costs

Something else that many do not realize or think about is that the fertilizer made from “natural gas” will cost more which means that the cost of foods grown by farmers will also go up in price.

This could be part of the second part of the prophetic word the Lord gave me on January 9, 2026.
Prophecy Part #2. “The food chain industry will begin to collapse and cause a global famine.”

• Fertilizer is made from natural gas
• War disrupted gas supply

👉 Result:

• Higher farming costs → higher food prices

3. Delayed Price Increases

• Grocery prices don’t spike immediately
• They rise weeks to months later

👉 Experts warn of long-term food inflation
(stock up food now, especially can goods, powered milk, flour, etc. before the increase)

🏠 HOW IT AFFECTS OTHER ESSENTIALS

1. Electricity & Heating

• Natural gas prices rising
• Home heating and power bills go up
  (prepare now for how you will keep warm in the winter)

2. Shipping & Online Orders

• Higher fuel → higher shipping costs
• Companies pass the higher costs to consumers

3. Everyday Goods

• Plastics, packaging, manufacturing all use oil/gas
• Prices rise across:
  • Clothing
  • Household goods
  • Appliances

4. Inflation Across the Economy

• Energy touches everything

👉 Economists warn:

• “Price of everything could be affected globally”

📊 REAL-WORLD IMPACT SUMMARY

Immediately:

• Gas prices ↑ fast
• Diesel ↑ sharply
• Shipping costs ↑

Short-term (weeks):

• Groceries ↑
• Utility bills ↑

Longer-term (months):

• Broad inflation
• Possible recession risk
• If it continues to rise because of continued war, an economic depression could occur globally

⚠️ THE BIG PICTURE

This war affects your daily life because:

👉 The Middle East is the center of global energy supply of crude oil

When war hits that region:

• Oil supply drops
• Prices spike worldwide
• Everything tied to energy becomes more expensive

✔️ SIMPLE WAY TO UNDERSTAND IT

War → Oil disruption → Fuel prices rise → Transportation costs rise → Everything costs more

Prophecy Part #3: “I will bring many in the world to their knees.”

Part 3: God Bringing the World to Its Knees

What is unfolding across the earth in this hour reflects a divine pattern seen throughout Scripture, where God allows the foundations that mankind trusts in—economic systems, global stability, and human strength—to be shaken so that hearts are turned back to Him.

As war intensifies in regions critical to global supply, as energy systems are disrupted, and as the cost of daily living rises beyond human control, the illusion of self-sufficiency is being stripped away.

Just as in the days of Pharaoh, when God demonstrated His power through judgments that no earthly authority could resist, so now the nations are being confronted with their inability to sustain themselves apart from the Lord.

The rising fear, uncertainty, and pressure on everyday life—from the gas pump to the dinner table—are not random, but serve as instruments that bring individuals, families, and even governments to a point of humility.

In this, we see not merely crisis, but divine intention: to cause many to bow, to seek, and to acknowledge that the Lord alone is sovereign over the earth, and that true provision, protection, and peace can only be found in Him.

A Word of Encouragement To You:

This is the hour to turn your heart fully to God. The things happening in the world are not random—they are a call, a warning, and an invitation. Do not harden your heart or delay, because tomorrow is not promised. Right now, where you are, cry out to the Lord for mercy. He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Lay down your pride, your sin, your burdens, and your ways, and come before Him in truth. God sees you, He knows your life, and He is calling you to Himself.

Seek the Lord with all your heart, not halfway, not casually, but with sincerity and humility. Turn away from sin and choose righteousness. Ask Him to forgive you, and He will forgive. Call upon His name, and He will answer. This is the moment to receive salvation—do not wait for a better time, because this is the time.

Pray and Receive Jesus Christ right now as your Lord and Savior. Believe that He died for your sins and rose again, and surrender your life to Him completely. Let Him lead you, change you, and make you new. His mercy is still available, His grace is still extended, but the call is urgent.

Come to Him now. Cry out to Him. Seek Him while He may be found. Your life depends on it.

May the Lord God bless you and keep you during these uncertain and difficult times,

Pastor Joel
