An Emerging Millennial Prophetic Movement // Part 2
Julian Adams • April 4, 2018
Last week I started a VLOG series on the emerging millennial prophetic movement, which I believe is about to sweep the earth. I’ve noticed four characteristics which will set these young men and women apart from past moves of God. Every Thursday I will be releasing a new VLOG, all leading up to my very first Facebook Live session, on 26 April. Here is VLOG 2 of 4
2. CREATIVITY
God is moving the church outside of the building, and redeeming the places that are labelled “secular”. The key to this is going to be creativity, which is something that has been lost in many of the past moves of God. Without compromising who they are in God, these young prophetic voices will release a new sound and rhetoric which engages both hearts and minds. These creative expressions will unlock a sense of curiosity about the spiritual in those who may have been rejected by the church, bringing them into a community that can show them the love of God.
– TRANSCRIPT
So I think another aspect to the rise in prophetic move of God that’s happening in the Earth today, particularly amongst Millennials, is an understanding of God as Creator and releasing that creativity in this generation. And I believe God is bringing a clarity around moving the church outside of the building into spaces that will be considered secular, and redeeming them, and making them beautiful, and making them sacred again. And I believe creativity is gonna be the key to that. I believe it’s gonna impact in terms of entertainment. I believe there are gonna be prophetic voices that will be raised up to release a new song, to release a new rhetoric that will engage people’s hearts and minds in order to release a Kingdom dynamic that would make it easier for people to come to the King.
And I believe part of creativity is meant to unlock and break open a sense of curiosity around spirituality. And although words might not be used that we’re used to, Millennial prophets are gonna release a holy curiosity and a spiritual appetite to a generation that will cause them to begin to go on a journey to discover who Jesus is and how he impacts their world. And I believe part of that is establishing communities in urban areas, in rural areas, that look different, that act different, that engage with the world around them in a way that demonstrates, above all, the incredible love and mercy of Jesus. And this Millennial company of prophets are gonna be able to not compromise who they are in God, yet engage with the worst of society in society’s eyes, engage with those who maybe the church has rejected, and engage with them in such a way as to bring them into community that genuinely connects them to the heart of the Father.
And so I believe creativity is gonna be so key in getting the church outside of the building and releasing the Kingdom of God, wherever this rise in Millennial prophets goes.

If you want to grow in the prophetic, it doesn’t begin with what you say. It begins with what you see. The prophetic is rooted in perception. Not just natural insight, but spiritual awareness—what Scripture calls “the eyes of your heart.” Paul prayed that the church in Ephesus would have their hearts enlightened so they could truly see what God was doing. “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you…” (Ephesians 1:18) God isn’t distant or withholding. But if we’re going to hear Him clearly, we have to see differently. We need Heaven’s perspective. And that means learning to quiet the noise, tune into His voice, and let Him train our inner vision. You don’t need to wait for a dramatic vision or audible voice. Often, God speaks through a nudge. A mental picture. A scripture that lingers. A sense of burden or joy that feels holy. These are the first signs that your spiritual eyesight is awakening. But it takes time. It takes attention. It takes trust. Just like physical muscles grow with use, your spiritual senses grow as you spend time with Him—not just talking, but listening. Not just asking for answers, but asking for His perspective. You were never meant to live according to what the world says is true. You were meant to live by every word that flows from the mouth of God. A Prayer for This Week: “Lord, open the eyes of my heart. Teach me to see what You see—not just in others, but in myself, in my circumstances, in the world around me. Give me clarity and confidence to trust Your perspective more than my own. Amen.” This week, pay attention to what you notice. The way you see is often the way He speaks.
In this live session, Sean Smith and Julian Adams share their prophetic perspectives on 2025, offering honest reflections on what they sense God is doing across the earth. With hope and expectancy, they discuss the spiritual landscape ahead and how we can prepare for what’s to come.
We are living in a world of dramatic change. The relentless pace of development often leaves us breathless and exhausted. The demand for innovative ways of communicating, inventing, and staying ahead of cultural trends can feel daunting and demoralizing. It can push us into a space where we find ourselves trying to copy rather than be authentic, to imitate rather than create. This pressure can lead us to believe that we need to be more creative, and that our individual stories do not matter. But nothing could be further from the truth. Your story, no matter how small, matters and is powerful. One of the remarkable aspects of ancient manuscripts, like the Bible, is that they tell the stories of individuals whose lives may seem small and insignificant. Yet, God chose to make their lives a memorial of what He could do with a life that the world deems insignificant. The incredible power of the gospel is that it changes lives one at a time. God is as interested in the individual story as He is in redeeming the cosmos. The aim of the gospel is not just dealing with personal sin; it is about restoring individuals to a relationship with a kind Father. In his book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis beautifully said, "The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." Justification addresses our standing before God, but our adoption invites us into a relationship with the Father. It allows us to partake of who He is and to live in a place of deep joy from who He is. Romans 3:23 reminds us that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Many of us forget that the work of salvation has turned this verse around. Through Jesus, we have been restored to the glory of God. One description of the word "glory" refers to the divine quality, the unspoken manifestation of God, and splendor. It is the revelation of God's intrinsic worth and beauty. Do you see that? We have been restored to His divine quality, splendor, and beauty. In a world where it can be easy to feel like just another face in the crowd, remember that your story is significant. Your experiences, your journey, and your voice matter. Embrace the unique narrative God has given you and let it shine. You are not just a spectator; you are a vital participant in God's grand story. Your authenticity, creativity, and individuality are valuable. As you navigate the rapid changes of our world, hold on to the truth that your story has power and purpose. God sees you, knows you, and has a plan for your life that is uniquely yours. Let us celebrate the beauty and significance of each individual story, knowing that together, we contribute to a tapestry of divine splendor and glory.
