There is a global economic shaking underway—and while the world wrings its hands in fear, Christians belong to a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. The economic shaking is an invitation to turn from the idol of mammon and return to the God who provides. An invitation for the Church to arise in wisdom and power. An invitation to awakening.

The United Nations recently forecasted that global economic growth will slow to 2.3% in 2025. Economists are warning that international trade tensions, driven in part by sweeping tariff wars and political volatility, could choke supply chains and plunge fragile economies into deeper instability. Inflation is still stubborn in many nations, wages aren’t keeping up, and central banks are walking a tightrope trying to manage the fallout. And beneath all of it, the spiritual climate is shifting.

When economies shake, the idols fall.

We’ve seen this pattern before. In 2008, the financial collapse stripped many of their security blankets, and some began to cry out to God. During the Great Depression, churches filled with desperate souls seeking hope. In times of economic upheaval, hearts are tender. People begin to ask eternal questions. And if the Church is positioned rightly, the shaking becomes fertile ground for revival.

This month at Awakening Prayer Hubs, our theme is Economic Shaking: An Opportunity for Awakening.

A Call to Renounce the God of Mammon

Jesus warned in Matthew 6:24, “You cannot serve both God and mammon.” Mammon is more than money—it’s a spirit that promises security and power apart from God. It demands loyalty, fosters greed, and numbs the conscience. And too often, even the Church has bowed at its altar.

This shaking is exposing where we’ve placed our trust.

God, in His mercy, is allowing idols to fall. It’s not a judgment. It’s a wakeup call, to strip away false comforts and redirect the eyes of lost souls—and even some in the church—to Him as our Source. He is calling people everywhere to repent of materialism, to resist the fear of lack, and to embrace the supernatural economy of the Kingdom. The fear of the Lord must return to our nations, and with it, a holy reverence that breaks the grip of mammon.

A Joseph Generation Must Arise

In seasons of shaking, God raises up Josephs—men and women with divine strategies for provision, preservation, and influence. Joseph wasn’t just a dreamer—he was a steward. He interpreted the signs of the times and positioned Egypt not just to survive famine, but to bless the nations.

We need Josephs in this hour.

Kingdom-minded business leaders. Financial prophets. Apostolic strategists. Men and women who can interpret economic data and spiritual atmospheres, then move with supernatural precision. These are the ones God is calling to store grain, to fund the harvest, and to bless cities in crisis. These are the ones who will carry solutions when systems collapse.

Genesis 41:39-40 says Pharaoh told Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you… you shall be in charge of my palace.” There is a transfer of influence coming to those with divine understanding. But only if we rise in faith, not fear.

The Fear of the Lord Must Replace the Fear of Lack

Fear is a powerful motivator, and the enemy is using economic headlines to stir anxiety, hoarding, and hopelessness in the nations—and even in the church. But we are not called to respond like the world. We are called to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7).

Proverbs 19:23 says, “The fear of the Lord leads to life.” That kind of fear doesn’t paralyze you—it purifies you. It realigns your priorities. It opens the heavens. When the fear of the Lord invades the land, repentance follows. And when repentance flows, awakening is not far behind.

We must pray that this shaking drives the nations to their knees—not in terror, but in reverence. That a holy desperation would rise again. That we would trade our fear of not having enough for awe of the One who is more than enough.

Watchmen, Intercessors—Take Your Stand

Awakening Prayer Hubs, this is not the time to shrink back. This is the time to press in. As the global economy trembles, we must:

• Pray that the shaking leads to salvations, not suicides.
• Intercede for the church to arise with Joseph strategies, equipping believers to be solutions in crisis.
• Decree that the fear of the Lord will grip the hearts of men, replacing the fear of economic collapse.
• Call forth revival in boardrooms, trading floors, and business schools.
• Call forth awakening in the nations.
• Break the power of mammon over nations and contend for the Kingdom economy to emerge.

The Lord is allowing systems to shake, but He is not shaken. His Kingdom is unshakable (Hebrews 12:28). Let’s rise up and contend for a spiritual awakening in the midst of economic shaking. What looks like a crisis is really a catalyst. The harvest is ripe—even in the downturn.

It’s time to pray. It’s time to awaken. It’s time to prepare the way of the Lord.
