EPOCH GLORY
Sunday, February 1, 2026, the Year of Our Lord
Pastor Carolyn Sissom
The Holy Spirit has been moving through me for several months now when I am preaching to emphasize that Eastgate Church is “Hidden.” I am actually being “knocked in the head,” with that message.
I have repeated multiple times perhaps to the point of some of you being bored, how the LORD spoke to me probably 38 years ago, “Carolyn, I have you hidden in my Omni,” which means “hidden in God’s all and everything.” You know the story, that was a great puzzle to me for many months. Fast forward to the Little White Church in Houston, TX. We were so hidden no one could find us unless they had directions. Even in the seven years we spent in the country clubs, we were not publicly visible, Then the LORD moved us here and our address bear the name, “Hidden Lakes.” Again, Eastgate church is not visible to the public eye.
On January 28, 2025, Tim sheets, Pastor, Oasis Church, was a guest minister on Flashpoint. He used the words a “Hidden remnant” multiple times as he shared what the LORD was revealing to him for 2026: “Holy Spirit is saying, ‘We are going to see a church that is coming. We are going to see a harvest of a billion souls or more. This is a hidden remnant that is looking for it. What has been birthed in the Spirit realm is a remnant apostolic group that not only believes it but are decreeing it is now.”
I prophetically decreed at least three times the past month that we are an apostolic corporate remnant with an assignment to open an apostolic portal for revival into this region.
As Pastor Sheets was sitting before the LORD, he was praying and studying about the Glory of God. He asked the Holy Spirit to define “Glory.” The Holy Spirit answered: “Epoch.” “The Holy Spirit will be moving into epoch times propelled by greater and greater glory. A greater weight of God’s presence which will bring us into a pivotal time. Something big is now planned. There is a lot in the world against it. Something epoch is being led by the Holy Spirit through the Kingdom Ecclesia. Epoch revival is going to be seen this year. Epoch awakening – world changing times. A greater weight of glory is gong to be seen with manifest demonstrations. Signs, wonders, and miracles at levels we have never seen before.”
“Glory river is coming to flood stage. If we will host his presence, the river of God will be waters to swim in. Everything will live where the river flows.” Ten years ago, he was caught up into a vision where he saw a powerful river flowing through downtown areas in Kingdom Ecclesia gatherings. Dead places are coming alive. Ecclesia hubs will be resourced by the River of God. It will be epoch. It will be world changing. We will disciple nations.”
In the Old Testament the word used for “glory” is “kabod”: honor, glorious, abundance, riches, reverence, etc.,
In the New Testament the word used for “glory” is “doxa”: majesty, – the kingly thing belonging to God; the kingly majesty of the Messiah, the exterior brightness of angels, most exalted state, excellence. The glorious condition of blessedness into which is appointed and promised that true Christians shall enter after their Savior’s return from heaven.”
However, the Holy Spirit chose to use the word, “epoch.” In answer to Tim’s request for a definition of the Glory.
Webster: “An instant in time chosen as the origin of a particular calendar era. Epoch serves as a reference point from which time is measured.” Such as the Exodus or Pentecost.
I researched in the Bible and in my sermon notes, “Hidden.”
Isa. 45:3: I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
Isa. 49:2: He has made My mouth like a sharp sword. In the shadow of His hand, He has hidden Me, and made me a polished shaft. In his quiver He has hidden Me.
1 Pe. 3:4: But let it be the hidden men of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Matthew 13:44: The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
You are a special treasure, hidden in an earthly field. Jesus gave us a clue as to the price He paid for us. In this parable, a man found a treasure hid in a field. He hides it again and sells all that he has to buy the field. That way, the treasure honestly and legally belongs to him. First, he found it, and then he bought it. But it cost him everything. It is not speaking here of us buying the Kingdom of God by giving up everything for Him. You could not, and did not, buy anything. You were the one that was bought. “For you are bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Cor. 6:20).
Now that He has the treasure, what does He do with the field? He plants a vineyard and makes a garden in that which was once just a barren piece of earth. He calls us His garden (Song of Solomon 6:2). Once our lives were unlovely, loaded with rocks, thorns, weeds, insects, and all the other things brought forth by a life of sin. But He saw a treasure in us, paid for us with His own blood (Acts 20:28), and now He gives us new life.
Nov. 29, 2014: in a dream, “I saw the Lord Jesus Christ hanging on the cross bleeding profusely. I heard a voice speak to me. “Jesus died on the cross to release power to the world.” It seemed that electric power was being released from His Blood and covered the earth like lightning, but I did not see lightning.” (End of dream)
On awakening, I asked the Lord, “Why we are living so far below the provision of this manifest power from your blood?” He did not answer me.
In the dream, the power was emitting from the “Blood.” I considered the scripture in Rev. 19:13: He was clothed with vesture dipped in blood; and His is called The Word of God. However, in my vision of the night, it was not a garment from which the blood was flowing, but from the Body of Christ.
Perhaps the Lord was showing me the power of the blood of the everlasting covenant (Heb. 13:20): “Remission of sins, Blood of the New Testament; Eternal life in the Blood; justification, saved from the wrath to come; forgiveness of sins; redemption and sanctification. Through the Blood of Jesus, we are saved from the wrath to come and made to come near to Jesus.
This is the covenant God has made with us in Christ. The Holy Scripture speaks of eight everlasting covenants.
Hebrews 13:20: Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.
Sissom sermon 10/18/20: We look around and we know that these are epochal days. We rejoice that we have been brought to the Kingdom for such a time as this. The “Kosmos” is falling apart. The Voice (Word) of the Lord is shaking heaven and earth. Only that which is part of the unshakeable Kingdom cannot and will not be moved. Our Kingdom is going to stand. Like Noah of old, there will be a people who will inherit the earth…a people who will remain after the days of shaking (Heb. 12: 26-29; Mt. 24: 37-41; 1 Thess. 4: 15-17; Rev. 3:2). We shall, like Noah, be left to inherit the earth! The word for “remain” means “to leave over or to survive” and so points to the remnant of those who are not moved by this shaking of the “Kosmos.” We have repeatedly been identified and confirmed to be in that number of the Hidden Remnant.
We are sent and commissioned to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel of the Kingdom of God. To preach the gospel is to persuade men “concerning Jesus.” It is a message that proclaims Jesus to be Lord. The message is one that will produce a people in the earth that are: heavenly in culture, in language, in character, in authority, in message and proclamation; and in lifestyle.
Rev. 2:17: He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says unto the churches; to him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written which no man knows except he that receives it.
Tim Sheets: “God is looking for a people who will lead from His perspective, a Word of God perspective and disciple a nation. We have not discipled a nation. We have to walk at a higher level of faith. A higher level of authority. Not draw glory to ourselves in anyway. All glory to Jesus. Even in the church, we allowed ministers or ministries to have center stage.”
On January 11th, I preached on the church’s commission to preach the gospel to all nations. Not only do we live eternally with the LORD, but nations go through eternity:
Rev. 21:24: The nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. 21:26: They shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
Not only is the church responsible for the fall or rise of nations, but we will be accountable that we stand against the invasion of false gods.
Dutch Sheets: “Epochal times – a point in time in which history is measured. Time will be measured from 2026. Prophecy: ‘I have revelation insight that I have been hiding, saving, to reveal to those who take time to seek my face. I will show you hidden things which I have saved for now. He is about to do new things, hidden things. He is going to show us how to move into greater glory. Twenty-Twenty-Six will be a turbulent year, but fruitful year.’”
Isa. 48:6: You have heard; see all this. And will you not declare it? I have made you hear new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
The word “time” here is used to indicate an epoch time in God’s dealings with mankind. The word is “ata” which means “now, whereas, henceforth, this time forth, straightway.” When the God interacts and everything changes from that time going forward. (occurs 435 times in the Hebrew (O.T.).
“Very few people in Egypt ever thought there would be a time when a ram’s horn would sound and over a million people began to march and the glory of God would arise upon a people into a different promise.”
P.S. I noticed in the sermon notes from January 11th, that Lance Wallnau had a word about God’s hidden people:
One of the many powerful and interesting things Lance Wallnau brought out was about “Hidden People.” “Hidden people are the hinges of the great doors of destiny. The LORD brings them forth at His appointed time.”
God is clearly speaking to this church. We would have to be totally dense to miss this message. Not everyone received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. None of them were expecting a sound would come from Heaven, Tongues of fire would fill them with the Holy Ghost. That the Church would be born and move in the ministry of Jesus like never before. Not everyone knew about it.
Eastgate Church I am taking this seriously and it has our name all over it.
Yes, I say Yes!
