2024 Prophecy Fulfilled: Year of Revival and Exposure
Each year, we see those who operate in the realm of the prophetic give words about what they believe we will see happen the following year. This year, one of the prophetic words we’ve seen come to pass came from Pastor Brian Gibson of HIS Church, located in Owensboro, Kentucky.
In an exclusive interview with Charisma Media back in December of 2023, Gibson discussed some of the prophetic insights the Lord placed on his heart about what we could expect for 2024.
“It’s going to be how hungry is the church, and how hungry is the camp of darkness, which will set up the stage for what will happen in 2024,” said Gibson.

This statement proved to be true as we saw the intensity of good and evil escalate this year in the culture, in politics and even within the church.
“I think the camp of darkness is more hungry for iniquity, and confusion, and pain, and trauma and turmoil,” Gibson said. “And they’re hungry to demonize young minds and to destroy worldviews…”
How true this statement is as we’ve seen school systems continue to shove the LGBTQ worldview into the minds of children. It is the young who have also been susceptible to the darkness of witchcraft, whether through celebrities like Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner and Ariana Grande, or even with toys like the Mothman Build-A-Bear plush and Disney’s shows like “Agatha All Along.” The young are the ones who have also felt the pressure from politicians like Kamala Harris to believe abortion is a necessity.
However, even with a growing darkness, revival was prophesied to continue to break out.
“I think God’s igniting a holy hunger in the saints. And what we’re seeing right now, at the end of 2023—I see revival breaking out not just in our church, but around America, little pockets of it,” said Gibson.
The revival Gibson predicted continued. Across college campuses we saw many given their lives to Christ, get baptized and set on fire for the Lord. From Texas A&M, to Ohio State, to the University of Florida, Mississippi State University and the University of Arkansas, we’ve seen major numbers of young adults turn to the Lord.
Revival didn’t just stay on campuses either. Thousands gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in prayer and repentance to the Lord, where Rabbi Jonathan Cahn smashed the altar of Ishtar in a symbolic act of our nation turning away from wickedness. Massive conferences also took place where people were set free from oppression and made whole in Christ, including at Mike Signorelli’s Breakers Conference that helped to transform thousands of lives. Revival even broke out across Europe throughout the summer, a most unexpected place during this day and age.
Gibson believed this time of revival would also come at a time when we would see something else as well; God’s discipline for the church.
“I see in 2024 a lot of lampstands being extinguished,” said Gibson.
“Their lampstands had been focused on the wrong things, and they’ve been shining on the wrong things. And the attention is ‘me,’” he continued. “…And I think, one by one, a lot of those things are just getting moved out of the way…I think everybody got so focused on this kind of world, that we lost a morality, we lost the power of God, we lost the fear of the Lord. We lost all of these things that really mattered.”
We have been seeing this discipline from the Lord come as well with the shocking number of ministries and leaders who have been dealing with this type of correction all throughout 2024. From the continuation of the fallout of IHOPKC with the shuttering of its ministries, the heartbreak of the Robert Morris abuse case and its effects on Gateway Church, Tony Evans’ step down from ministry and Steve Lawson’s affair revealed, we are seeing the Lord clean house right now.
As we conclude 2024, let’s praise the Lord for all He’s done, all He is doing and seek Him for how He wants to use us as we enter into a new year.
