Intro from Dr. Arleen Westerhof:
The European Prophetic Council (EPC) met in November 2023 to prophesy and to share what we were hearing from the Lord for 2024. Two things that make Europe unique is the number of countries (more than 40) and the number of languages (24 official languages, with more than 200 being spoken across the continent). This is why some European prophets are less well known to the English-speaking world.
This year's word is a compilation of submissions from both well-recognized and less-recognized prophetic voices across the continent. We want to make special mention of Rebecca Briggs, a talented English prophet who worked with us in identifying the key themes for this year and the essence of what was said.

European Prophetic Council Word of the Lord for 2024:Â
"Europe, Wage War Against War"
"The enemy is using war to distract from revival and awakening. He is sowing death to rob lives from the great harvest of souls. This year you will learn to fight God's spiritual World War III together with Him so that you do not have to fight a natural World War III before it's time. Raise up the army. The Body of Christ has been known as the remnant and the Ekklesia. Now she will be known as the army of the Lord.
Raise My Shout of Victory
"In the midst of intense shaking you will hear My shout of victory (Num. 23:21). Let Me fill your mouth with stronghold-destroying, mountain-moving prayers, strategies, insights and solutions. Do not allow the empire spirit to make your heart grow faint (China, Russia, Iran and North Korea). As you arise in righteousness and justice, the antichrist spirit (antisemitism, political Islam, secular humanism and woke-ism) targeting your nations will start to be pushed back.
"Nations are in the valley of decision. Guard your hearts amid an increase in extreme politics, nationwide riots and an information war. Don't be desensitized by immorality and complacency. The enemy wants to accelerate the advance of evil and convince you that it's too late to make a difference. As you come to the war room, I will give you new weapons for this era. This is a year to ask boldly for the nations...
On Your Knees, Roll Up Your Sleeves
"I am releasing the Spirit of the fear of the Lord and calling you back to prayer and fasting. My house shall once again be called a 'house of prayer for all nations' (Mk. 11:17, Isa. 56:7). As prayer gatherings, both small and large, break out, you will see the powers of Hell dislodged over your nations.
"Establish European and global prayer networks. Language will be no barrier for this new prayer movement. Healing will be the daily business of My people as battles are won in the secret place. A wave of repentance will turn the tide of wickedness and cause a wave of harvest. Stadiums will fill as I re-tool My harvesters to use not a rod, but a wide net. Prayer will dislodge powers of Hell and detonate outbreaks of healing.
The Mantle of Reformation Hangs Over Europe – Grasp It Now!
"The charge from Heaven is to just do it, go, act, step out, hit the road, release finances. It's no longer time to just watch and wait. God is closing a sidewalk and opening a go-kart track. (Photo via Stocksnap)
"I haven't sent you to preserve churches but to co-labor with Me. Do not build your own walls of protection, but step through the doors while they are open. Release deep forgiveness to destroy deep resentments within families, and within and between churches, cities, regions and nations.
"There are new assignments for My Ekklesia. You will go as sheep among wolves, not as sheep to the slaughter. I send you out as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves to open doors of influence into governmental structures (Matt. 10:16).
Apostles Will Soar in 2024
"Call forth the apostolic age! There will be an acceleration of the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom and apostolic mission (Matt. 28:18-20). Apostolic/prophetic teams and new initiatives will increase rapidly. From this firm foundation, evangelists, pastors and teachers will be released into a new level of authority and fruitfulness. There is a finishing anointing and a sending anointing, with bold decision making for both.
The Great Displacement Season Will See Leaders Dislodged and Replaced
"Leaders across all spheres, including government, business, church and entertainment, will be replaced by unexpected candidates. Get ready for shocking election results. The world systems as you know them will start to crumble as I shake them to expose corruption.
"I call forth the solutionists to create solution centers. I will give simple solutions for serious, complex world problems. They will even find innovations and inventions for food and water shortages and rising sea levels.
"Ungodly deals made behind closed doors to divide the nations as bounty will be revealed.
"There is a window of opportunity in politics, business and the economy for My faithful ones.
New Economics for My Provision
"Stop running back and forth to those who say, 'Wealth can be found here or there.' Realize that your true wealth is found only in Me and in obedience. Stop trusting in human structures and strategies. Righteousness and justice will be your protection as economies shake. I am judging the Babylonian system of wealth creation and greed (Rev. 18:3).
"Creative entrepreneurship is arising from Europe, with new companies run by prophetic influencers. As currency digitizes, My people will develop and possess digital space with a revolutionary, technological mindset. Projects to heal the nations and cross border supply lines will flourish.
Close the Gates on Inside Attacks
"Shields up! Get re-equipped for warfare. I will train you in discernment to know the tricks and trades of darkness to thwart attacks on the Ekklesia in cities and nations from the inside out. Raise the shields of faith around each other. This will protect you from the fiery darts and arrows of the enemy. I am training watchmen to hit the target and not shoot blindly.
Take Up the Mantle of Elijah and Call Forth the Jehu Anointing
"Destroy the wickedness of the Jezebel spirit and free people from the spirits of mind control and complacency. Saturate yourselves in the Word to combat the spirit of deception. I am breaking you out of western mindsets of unbelief and raising you up to be a people of faith to see great miracles again in Europe.
"I impart to you a new boldness to stand firm and strong in faith in the midst of fire and persecution. Physical oil will even be manifested as a sign of My healing anointing.
Only Speak What I Say
"Don't echo the news but say only what I say. Discern My voice in the noise. The days demand storytellers who will predict a more accurate future. Those stones not dulled by religion will write My movies.
"I will launch My prophets into new areas of influence with surprising invitations. Call forth a new level of discernment to distinguish between true and false prophets and their reports.
"Prophets, be teachable. Be prophets whose lives and actions manifest the prophetic word and raise up the next generation. You need to love first before you can prophesy. Sniper prophets will be sniped at, for I will burn the spirit of jealousy from My prophets and uproot it from My Body. [This speaks of how prophets who criticize will be criticized.] (Photo via Unsplash)
Specific Words for Countries
"Albania: I will open a door to the Middle East from you.
"Austria: The angel for Austria is commissioned to visit all churches, communities and Believers in Austria with light and grace to identify weak points and correct them so that you are prepared. I am giving Austria the chance to come into My calling with an unusual authority to bind and loose, forbid and allow.
"Belgium: I call you into your destiny as a freedom nation, a resource nation.
"Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania: A full-on revival will burst forth, with networks across the Baltic, Balkan and Eastern European nations.
"France: A new level of prophetic authority will manifest. A time of healing of deep wounds has begun.
"Germany: Call an end to the humanist church in Germany. I will sift the hearts of apostles and prophets to become Kingdom minded. I will appoint true national prophets to a round table and stop the Jezebel assault on prophecy, with wounds healed; and the sound of righteousness will fill the land instead of condemnation.
"Germany, Luxembourg and Slovakia: Each nation will have a rescue center from human trafficking. Miraculous feedings and inner healings will erupt.
"Hungary: Special authority has been granted to you to open Kingdom doors this year, especially in the area of the media.
"Italy: Wrong coalitions have been made to hide them from scrutiny. Don't be intimidated, Italy. Renaissance for you has already started in quiet places, and I will deal with rock-hard humanism.
"Ireland: Watch as I confront the comfortable, the complacent and the counterfeit spirits swirling among My Body. I will empty the nests and the eagles will soar. Ancient, apostolic highways to the world will reopen and reactivate. Hubs of habitation will be built throughout the island of Ireland, both North and South, Judah houses, places of worship for My glory alone.
"Netherlands: You are My apostolic child, a leader nation, a land known for innovation, pioneering and reformation. The royal house will be shaken and come into repentance to follow Me. A new template for education will spread from you into Europe and beyond. I call forth the new way of building houses, infrastructures and cities.
"Nordic nations and Estonia: Your prophetic pioneering has become a movement. Many more activations, schools and training events will happen all over the north. It's a fire that cannot be extinguished now, and the next generation will follow your lead.
"Slovakia: There is new cooperation with Albania, new resources. You'll no longer be dependent on other countries but enjoy financial independence with agricultural increase. Discover hidden caves, new fossil fuels and raw elements.
"Slovenia: Remove the veil of servitude and false submission that comes from a religious spirit and become a land of refuge. I am preparing fresh soil for the Balkans and the fruits of seeds sown a long time ago to create a hatchery for young people and intercessors, with new covenants for the EX YU countries. Release new revelation to the Catholic, Pentecostal and Orthodox churches. Bind the critical spirit.
"Sweden: New prayer movements will be birthed and a Joel 2 prayer army raised up.
"Switzerland: You are in a purifying process and some organizational structures will fall. The pillars of humanism will no longer support the weight of the world. But I call My Body in Switzerland to bear the weight of My glory.
"Saudi Arabia, Guyana, Mexico: You will see an economic revolution. Look to these nations as an example of what will happen for the countries that create space for Me and My prophets.
"Africa: It is time for Africa's voice to arise. I call forth the Holy-Spirit-empowered wisdom bearers and nation builders to arise in Africa!
"USA: I will awaken you again. Large deposits of silicon (e.g. for computer chips) will be found in the Appalachian mountains."
The EPC's History and Contributors:
The EPC was started in 2017 with the aim of raising the profile and understanding of the prophetic ministry across the continent. We also wanted to help Europe's prophets by creating a safe place for them to prophesy and to be championed. Our first annual gathering took place in 2018, and since then, the level of accuracy, confidence and authority in the prophetic has skyrocketed. Europe's prophets are now well and truly out of the caves that they were in!
Before the end of 2024, Dr. Sharon and I (Dr. Arleen Westerhof) have committed ourselves to making sure that each European nation knows who their prophets are and where they can access prophetic training in their own language. Where these trainings do not yet exist, we will help to develop them. We also want to assist nations that do not yet have their own national prophetic councils to start one.
