Presence or Ichabod?
I’ve been hearing or reading “Ichabod,“ meaning: “The Glory has left the building!”
I’ve seen it in The Spirit over places, and then, yesterday, my wife Linda spoke this about a place we’re aware of in America, that “Ichabod is in the building!”
I believe we are entering a “Presence Season” and we are also entering an “Ichabod Season.”

The Presence Movement
Facebook — May 5, 2025.
“As I watched Dutch Sheets, Give Him 15, this morning, I heard him say the words ‘presence movement’, and as soon as I heard them, The LORD started waving flags at me to catch my attention.
“What is this, Lord?” I asked
“It’s what is coming to My end-time Church! You call it ‘the Remnant Church!” — He replied.
Then He added, “I want you to sit with me today and write some things down!”
OK, I prepared to listen, even though I knew I had things which must be done, I also knew I would have time to listen to Him. I did a little bit of research.
Obed-Edom was the first, as far as I can see, the only person — not the tent or tabernacle — to host the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6:10), also known as ‘the Presence of God’.
He knew what it was like to live, day to day, in that presence. He never wanted to be away from it again!
Over the years, I too have tasted that amazing presence in various settings and meetings. I too long to be in that wonderful presence again — and not leave it! I don’t know if anyone else sees this but as I pondered these meetings, The LORD broke into my thoughts, “There is coming a new Presence Movement to My Church.
Where I see hearts which genuinely yearn for Me, there I will send My Spirit, Ruach Hakodesh, and He shall inhabit the hearts of people; He shall inhabit the meetings; He shall manifest in unfrequented but spontaneous signs, wonders, healing, deliverance, and salvations. This shall spread among My Church and shall become known as The Presence Movement because My presence shall move wherever hearts are open and wherever He is welcomed!”
I pray that I will once again experience that wonderful presence.
How about you?”
Presence for some — Ichabod for others!
✅ Presence where Ruach ha-Kadesh is welcome, received, and active.
❎ Ichabod where He’s not.
We have been warned since the first century church that “Judgement begins in the house of The LORD”! (1 Peter 4:17)
We have been warned with some urgency these past few years of the shaking coming to The Church.
We have seen unpalatable revelation after revelation of fallen leaders, ministries, and Churches.
Yet the ‘Third Great Awakening’ has been slow a-coming!
It’s here NOW.
At this most important time in Church and World history, we are now entering The Presence or The Ichabod Season or Movement.
As always with The LORD, the choice is ours. Just ensure you’re in a “Presence Church” where Revival, true Revival, is both possible and received!

I’m reading chapter 6 of “The God Chasers” by Tommy Tenney. It discusses this very thing. I highly recommend this book.
Excellent post. The judgment of the church has been approaching slowly and the clock ⏰ has been ticking. Sins are being exposed in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing the words from the Lord and providing scripture reference and teaching.
Peace and blessings
Thank you Janice
