The Mantle Has Passed - June 2024 Prophecy
In this prophetic sermon, John Humenik delivers a message titled “The Mantle Has Passed,” claiming that God is transferring leadership authority from an older generation of Christian leaders—who he describes as greedy, doctrinally corrupt, and overly focused on human structures—to a new generation that will be obedient to the Holy Spirit. He criticizes the current pastor‑first, man‑made church models, arguing they have stifled the Word of God and led to spiritual decline. Humenik calls for a restoration of the biblical fivefold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) as the proper structure for the church, using biblical analogies such as Elijah‑Elisha, David‑Saul, and Moses‑Joshua to illustrate the upcoming change of guard. He predicts that unrepentant leaders will be removed from both paid and volunteer positions, their budgets will shrink, and their influence will fade, while the newly anointed will inherit churches, business, and governmental authority. The message also includes promises of spiritual and physical healing for believers, a warning of imminent end‑times urgency, and an appeal for humility, obedience, and reliance on the Holy Spirit rather than human doctrines. The sermon concludes with a call for listeners to examine their hearts, align with divine authority, and prepare for the coming shift in leadership.
Chapters
Hi, my name is John Humenik, and this is the prophecy for June 2023. I want you to buckle your seat belts because you're ready to see probably the most shocking prophecy I've heard to date. You need to stick around for this whole video because you're probably going to regret missing any of it if you click away. This prophecy is going to be called the Mantle that has been passed. And here's what God the Father says he's going to do. The older generation of Christians are failing to steward my people. They've grown greedy, frustrated at unimportant things, and have taken their eyes off the mission. They indulge in controversy, unbiblical doctrines, and more. Speak to my children that people need to steward my word. There are those who have carried the mantle of leadership for a long time, To those leaders who have failed to steward my word properly, I'm passing your mantle along to a new generation, those who will listen to my word and care for it with the utmost reverence, obedient to my Holy Spirit. This new generation will surely steward it, and those mantles will be upon them until they see me face to face. These same people pick up their cross and cast it into the sacrificial altar. These people who crucify their will, their flesh on the cross of Christ, these children choose to resurrect Jesus in its place. These are the people who will inherit the new churches, the existing churches, the leadership positions, the positions of authority, dominion, positions of leadership in government. And in business. They will inherit the positions that others have toiled for— powerful positions at levels of both business and government and all forms of kingdom business. The new leadership will not have to toil for the businesses that they will take up. They will not have to toil for the churches they will inherit. Rather, they will be passed on to them. Humble new leaders obedient to the Word of God. Leaders that refuse to muffle the Word of God when it's released. Through them and by my Spirit. You old leaders have chosen doctrines of devils, man's policies and procedures over my Word. You think they were put in place because they feel like they're protecting the church. Rather, all you're doing is snuffing out the Word of God. The flame of God. You're putting it out no different than a person puts a lid on a candle to snuff it out. That's what these leaders have done. They put pastors in leadership positions instead of apostles. They put pastors in head of a council of prophets. Pastors are designed to shepherd their congregation, but they are not designed to lead the church. Senior pastors continue to move to the forefront. They've taken my glory on social media. These pastors see and acknowledge the works of man. Instead, they should be looking through their spiritual eyes, the eyes that can see the kingdom, the walkway laden in golden bricks, that, that's the path my people must walk. This is the path that my people must walk upon. Pastors are people leaders. They're not church leaders. Church being defined as the organization and not the people. This is why the modern-day church has struggled for so long, because they keep putting people in leadership positions that don't belong there. Then they come into the limelight, they come into the spaces of social media, they come into the spaces like conferences, and they take on those leadership roles. They're not gifted, they're not graced, they don't even have the mercies available for them to do the work. They continue to move forward boldly and think, wow, I'm doing a great job. But rather, the Spirit of the Lord says, no, all you've done is taken the places that was reserved for others and taken my glory away from me and the seats from those who they were originally designed for, for those positions. But no more. Those leaders are now to be removed across the nations. across the churches, both in paid positions and volunteer positions. The mantle has passed to those who have been prepared, no different than Elijah was doing when he was going up to heaven and his mantle fell and Elisha picked it up. You will see a changing of the guard. You will see a lot of these existing men and women of God have been in positions of power and authority who have failed to steward the flocks that they have been given. Their social media platforms, people that come into churches, the people that come into their educational institutions—they've all struggled to steward them because they've taken on work that they should never have done or were graced to do. They're taking on human doctrines and human principles, human structures, and not anything that was spirit-based. And so, while I continue to at least have a space of mercy, an umbrella, and mercy over them and a bit of grace. It's now time where I'm going to be instituting my new church, a church that'll be able to lead people into the entranceway of heaven. That is Jesus Christ, the gateway to me. They will lead people into a place where they will be walking with the Spirit of power, walking hand in hand with Jesus, righteous, humble, obedient, not afraid to speak the word of the Regardless of the level of correction that it brings, or even the level of comfort that it'll bring. The world— the word will be brought to bear because my church will grow in truth. I will put them in positions of power and authority. I will put the words like Isaiah, and the angel of the Lord touched his lips and consecrated him for the work ahead. The angel gave him the capability To receive a new word. He allowed him to receive something greater. I will put these same words in the mouths of my prophets and prophetesses, in the mouths of evangelists and even apostles. The pastors and teachers will come after the reset. They will build congregations and my people based upon the correct structure. They will ordain the people that belong to the level that they at, whether they are external-facing or internal-facing. If they're going to be focused on financial matters and business matters, or the ministries, or the church itself. I'm going to be putting the people in the place that they belong so they can serve me with a right heart, much like David did. The difference between David and Saul was Saul never had a heart towards me. Saul prepared a path for a greater leader that would come after him. Moses was a great leader in all his ways, and all he did was prepare Joshua to take over. This is what you're going to see— the new Davids rising up. You'll see the Joshuas rising and seeing the Deborahs coming into play. You'll see the Esthers coming into existence, no different than Nebuchadnezzar, who paved the path for all the other leaders that came after him. You're going to see these old leaders Falling off, these pastors disappearing, and they will never return to power. They will go off into obscurity forever. I'm going to get back my churches and lead them with smaller structures and smaller arenas so that I am the one who will be worshiped. I am the one who will be glorified. I am the Lord God who deserves all the praise. It is I that requires the most choices of sacrifices. The most choices of quality time with my people, and that no longer will be shortened. I'm not looking for someone to come and visit. I'm looking for someone to come and habitat with me, come and occupy the land. I'm looking for someone who will take over leadership roles, who are disciplined, respectful, and have the capability to rise up mighty men and women who have the ability to steward those around them. around them consistently and thoroughly so that they may receive all. Let us continue. So as we continue to move forward, these new leaders will be a new generation. Some will be young, some will be older, some will be very seasoned of age. Age is not a determining factor for those who will take over the mantles. Rather, it is those who are in obedient phase, the one who has a humble heart willing To hear the Spirit of the Lord and walk life out, who will not look at doctrines and laws and rules and regulations and even procedures, who have come and said, oh, these things are in place. No, the Spirit of the Lord did not put them in place. Rather, be like Peter and John when they stood before the Sanhedrin, before the Pharisees, where they said, who shall we listen to, you or God? When Jesus, my Son, came And he told the Pharisees that they put aside the law of the Lord because of the human traditions. They established human traditions first that were the priority. No, no longer. The word trumps all. My word oversees the law of the land, the people of the land. The word is above all. I raise my word even above my name. So you must understand that when the word of the Lord comes, it becomes law. It's a permanent decree for from the highest authority in the universe. You must understand the changes for the air for those who continue to use these pulpits, these positions of power and authority, these platforms for their own gain. They will fall away. That they use these sound bites, that they use these shorts to cause controversy, to raise their name, to be defenders of the faith— all they've done is they're corruptors of All they are are people that continue to serve themselves. Their mouths are like hollow graves that speak deceit and lies, speaking things that they only want to hear and to tickle the ears of those that are listening to them. They do not and cannot change the heart of man. That's the difference. When you're speaking to change the heart of a person, you're in a posture where I need to be. But if you are speaking to get a soundbite, to get views, to get likes, to get subscribers, to get people to come to your church and donate to your building programs, you're focused on all the wrong things. Then I will come in and replace you. I will come in and give the fat of the land to those who deserve it. I will come in and do only what I can do. I will displace leaders, volunteers, peoples in positions of power and authority across the nation. I've done it before, and I will continue to do it again. And I will continue to raise up a powerful remnant, one that will lead the people, who not only can lead the many but lead the millions and billions, and put people in the right place where they come before my Son and kneel at the feet of Jesus, where they come and build a relationship continually pushing them to a posture of hope and joy, and one they see when they see miracles, signs, and wonders, those are the people that you will understand are powered by me. But then there's these people that are known as cessationists. They believe that the power of my Spirit has ceased. Your time is over. It's done. Every single church that does not heed to the power of the Holy Spirit, who does not operate in power and authority, who does not produce the fruit of the Spirit Your time is over. Your budgets will shrink until you— they will disappear. They will no longer have volunteers capable even of leading. I will pull them out and I will move them forward. Those people that are leaders will be great in the areas and spaces that they're in, but those who have developed doctrines of lies, of deceit and demons, those will be destroyed. Churches, religions will be torn apart, and you will have Mantles ripped from your hand, no different than when the kingdom was ripped away from Saul and put into the hands of David. This is what the Lord says: there is a changing of the guard. There are people coming in the power of my Spirit like John the Baptist did. He was the greatest of prophets, the greatest of men up until that time. Yet it is as my Son who came in complete fulfillment of the prophets and the law. It is he, Jesus, where you will find rest with the weary soul. He's the one you will find healing and freedom. He's the one where you will find deliverance from your pain and your anxiety. Those who are struggling with autism, hear me. Those with cancer, hear me. Those with heart disease, hear me. You will find healing in the presence of Jesus Christ. You will find those who continue to love themselves and their money. But Jesus oversees all. He's the King over all kings. He's the Lord over all lords. There's no one beside him, none above him, none that can counsel him. All will kneel at the feet of Jesus at the proclamation of his name, even those of false religions, those demons in the positions of darkness. They shudder at the presence of Jesus because they know who he is. They know their time is short, so they enjoy the things that they want in the time that they have. Since they're not serving me, these people are inhabited by demons. These are oppressed and by temptation and are guided by demons and don't even see it. These leaders, because they don't even sit in the presence of Jesus, they want to believe that their doctrines These leaders of false leadership are designed to generate controversy and generate likes and views and subscribers. But at the end of the day, all they're doing is puffing up their own ego. It's all pride. I will promote those who have positions seated on thrones and many thrones before, as I will lift them up, as this is my decision, not their decision. It will come on my timeline as they're ready. They are prepped as they've been through the fire, reformed as pure 24-karat gold. You do not refine gold in gold. You do not refine gold in the sun. You refine it in the fire and significant heat. You drive out the dross and the impurities. You pull that out. And what's left is a perfect reflection of me. No different than when a silversmith knows that when the silver is complete, it's ready because he can see his reflection in the silver. That's what it's like for me, as I will continue to refine my people until I see me in them, my reflection in them. The leaders that have been in positions of power already, But do not carry my reflection will be replaced, their mantles passed on to another. So that ends the prophecy from God. Let me go ahead and spend a couple minutes unpacking this prophecy for those people. There's a little bit of poetry in this prophecy and a lot of obviously, obviously exhortation and things like that. So one of the big things that you need to understand about how the church operates today in a lot of the religious institutions is they are man-made constructs, and vast majority of them do not follow the biblical doctrines that have been put forth in the epistles as well as in the New Testament. And many of them operate as pastor-first churches because that's the way they're structured, because there's congregation-driven and not necessarily Christ-of-church-driven. One of the big things that God is talking about here is he's going to reestablish the Fivefold ministries in the places that he has to establish them. Because at the end of the day, when you understand how the fivefold ministry works, apostles are ultimately the leaders of the church—the actual people. The prophets are the ones that protect the church and bring divine revelation to the church. The evangelists fill the church. The pastors shepherd the folks that are there, and the teachers teach them. So it's a cycle. When you understand how the fivefold ministry works. It's a complete cycle that starts and moves and then feeds itself. As the people get stronger, they can go out and become new fivefold ministry people, and then therefore they rise up new apostles, new prophets, new evangelists, new pastors, and new teachers, and then the cycle continues. And so that's the way the church is meant to operate. When you see churches that are very heavily pastor-driven, what you're seeing is, is that they become really crippled in the context of how they operate. Because unless they also have— which they clearly can have, so pastors don't always just have to limit themselves to be in one aspect of the fivefold ministry— but pastors that don't have an apostolic calling are really going to struggle in leadership positions. Because that's what an apostle does, is they're a church builder. And that's what they do, they lead. And you see a lot of people at levels of the C-levels, like CEOs When you see the CEOs and COOs and CFOs, those all really have apostolic anointings on them. When you see the prophets, they're the ones that are really designed to bring divine revelation. They're the ones who vet people to make sure that they belong in the church, as well as protect the church from the church and protect the church from other people. They're the visionaries. They're the ones who see into the future, and God reveals to them, you know, messages like this and explains to them Hey, this is the way you're supposed to be operating. And if you're not aligned with my biblical doctrines and you put human rules in front of it, you're done. Your time is over. And so when you understand that that's how it's supposed to work, you start to see that the mantle is going to be passed. Because what's happened is, is God's Spirit has been speaking to them to correct the direction that they're going. And those that correct themselves will clearly be a part of the decision-making process and leadership positions going forward. But if you've chosen the path that you've chosen, you've chosen to be on social media for yourself and puffed yourself up. And we saw this really big way about, about 5 or 6 weeks ago when we saw that men's conference going on and all the, the controversy that came out of it. Ultimately, both sides of the fence were really in the wrong in many different ways. You start to realize that, gosh, that Satan truly infiltrated the church and allowed people in positions of power and authority to build themselves up through pride and not through humility. Because even as I received this word, it was very difficult to comprehend it, and I had to pray over it and get confirmations over and over again before it's fully released. Because at the end of the day, this is such a sledgehammer message, and there were multiple confirmations that came and multiple other prophecies that came in between when I received it in this recording in order for me to be able to say, okay, I'm ready to move forward with it. Because when you talk about mantles, you're talking about what a person completely built, a he or she, and now that's going to be taken completely away from them and given to someone else. And so if you are a church leader listening to this message, I just implore you to take a chance. If you need to play it back a second time, pray about the specific things the Holy Spirit wants you to change. Because he is the Spirit of power. He's more than capable of reorienting wherever you're at into the perfect will of God. That's the essence of the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of power. He is the Spirit of love. He is the Spirit of truth. He isn't going to lie to you. He's going to guide you in the most gentle way possible, but time is short for some of you, and he's going to understand that you have to be of a sound mind in order to operate in these kingdom principles. And the moment you choose not to and you choose your way over what the biblical doctrine is, regardless of the foundational elements that are in place— your tradition, your law, and your regulations— he's going to replace you. And the people that try to keep you trapped in those places— because I can even envision that you're going to have councils of people that say, no, this is how the church has been run for 150 years, we're not going to change— I can assure you, those people are going to be replaced. Because it says very clearly that this is not just the pastors, but people in both volunteer positions and paid positions. God's not going to tolerate in his church, in his congregations, and his people these things that have been established under human doctrines. He's going to displace them completely and establish churches that can operate, because we are approaching closer to the end times. And if you get a chance to listen to the other livestream that I had a few weeks ago that talks about Jesus' second coming, you'll start to understand that these things are short, that this time— it could happen at any point in time. It could clearly happen in our lifetime. But even when you look at the prophecies that have been spoken, it's very clearly seen that there isn't very much ahead in the context of time in front of us. And so the church Has to rise up, and it only can do that through the power of the Holy Spirit. It can only do that through obedience. It can only do that through love, producing the fruit of the Spirit. And this is the essence. So if you're a leader and then you're listening to this, I pray that it convicts your heart and puts you in the right place where the Holy Spirit is. If it doesn't convict your heart, really, one of two things are in— you're either in the perfect will of God, and I pray that That's the case. And if it's not, then this prophecy is for you, and you will understand when it comes to pass. And so truly, truly kneel at the feet of Jesus, because at the end of the day, no matter what we're doing, this is not a works-based thing. This is all about faith. It is faith mixed with works, but the works is just walking out the faith. But ultimately, it's a relationship with Jesus Christ, and it is all about getting to know who our King is and understanding him for us in our life. He wants the best for us. He wants the best for our families, and he wants the best for all of these things. And when you start to put aside all of those preconceived notions and you stop rejecting the blessings that he has for you and you start receiving the things— the kingdom wealth, the kingdom blessings, the spiritual healing, the physical healing that God wants you to have— you're going to be able walk out life in a dominant way and be able to be successful in all that you do. And then when you're successful, you will be able to overflow into your congregation and allow them to be successful, and you'll be able to build them up, and they will be able to continue to lift you up. You'll be able to do greater ministries, greater crusades, because you're going to be operating from a kingdom mindset. But when you do it in the fivefold ministry, you're doing it as a Team with people in positions and power and authority that are technically above you, because that's the way it's supposed to work, because it's all about checks and balances. But you got to remember that those people that are ahead of you in the organization have to answer to God. And when you know that they have to answer to God and you trust the Holy Spirit— because ultimately this is why the Spirit of the Lord is talking about this now— is Because people don't trust him. And I've went through this myself as I try to understand and just yield further to him. It's all about trust. Are you going to be obedient to the call in your life? That's why a lot of people in positions of power and authority retain their positions of power and authority, because they don't trust other people to be with them. But when you trust the Holy Spirit that he will then guide the people that are working with you, above you and below you properly, then you can be submissive enough to work in the space that you're in and operate in a kingdom mindset. And that will allow you to be so successful that it will just flow and flow and flow. The Spirit will flow through you, the blessings will flow through you, the word of God will flow through you, the anointing will flow through you. You'll have salvations, miracles, signs, and wonders that follow you. And every single thing you'll hear is, good and faithful servant, come and enjoy the things that you've received. And so that's what God wants. But you cannot do it under the rules and doctrines of man. You cannot do it under the structures that you're in place. And if you're in a situation where you're in a structure that you can't change, maybe God will then give you the opportunity opportunity and grace you to move you into a place that does. And I pray that those people, the pastors, the leaders that receive this message, that you truly understand that this is me being God's mouthpiece. I love you. I care for you. I only want the best for you. God wants the same, but God will honor himself. He can't be mocked. And so understand that when you are operating under his headship And you are his representative, you have to play by his rules and not the rules of man. And any rule of man that contradicts the word of God has to go, or God will take care of it himself. And I can assure you, and I've seen it happen even in the last years firsthand, I have seen leaders build mega churches firsthand and have the entire kingdom ripped away and given to holy men that follow in their wake. Now, those holy men have to clean up their mess, but I can assure you the Spirit of the Lord is going to guide them and move them into positions of power and authority. And I've seen it over and over again recently. I've seen churches have big budgets and then just follow their own doctrines, and their budgets just dwindle to just near nothing. It's unbelievable to watch. If your church is not growing in every single facet— attendance, online viewage, your small groups aren't growing— anywhere there is not growth, I can assure you there's some level of disobedience that's going on in your church. And I can assure you that if you sit with Jesus Christ and you just take a pen and paper and just ask him, what do I need to change in order to fix this? Where do I need to grow? Because the The world's population is growing, so churches should be growing in every facet that they're in. And if they're not, let Jesus explain to you. Let Jesus give you the proper direction. He'll give you guidance. He'll do it with just a heart of love and grace, and you will orient yourself back onto the perfect will of God. And that's where the toil disappears. That's where the blessings of finance are. That's where the people that are skilled are. That's where the people that are going to be skilled, that need to be mentored, will be, because you'll have the structure, procedures, technology, and personnel in place to make it happen. So I hope this message blesses you. I really hope that you take all of these things under consideration with the Holy Spirit, because we all have room to improve and God wants us to change, but we need to do it on his timeline, under his guidance, and through his word, and not our own. God bless.
