The Coming Test: Rick Joyner’s Prophetic Warning on Wealth, Power, and Trust
Rick Joyner of MorningStar Ministries delivered a sobering prophetic word about a “major trial” coming upon the Body of Christ. While many are familiar with the biblical prophecy of the “mark of the beast”—an economic system revealing where people place their trust—Joyner shared another test that caught him off guard: a test of extraordinary, over-the-top wealth.
The True Idol of the Human Heart
Joyner emphasized that money is often the ultimate idol, not because it’s loved, but because it is trusted in place of God. Idolatry, in this context, isn’t merely affection—it’s misplaced dependence. As the end times unfold, the Lord will confront the economic idol in many hearts. Scripture warns us that you cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24), and Joyner says the trial ahead will force believers to decide whom they truly trust.
A Generation of Mighty Ones
From his earliest days as a Christian, Joyner says the Lord revealed to him a unique calling: to help those chosen to walk in the works of Jesus—and greater works (John 14:12). These “mighty ones,” prophesied in the book of Jude and seen in Enoch’s prophecies, will walk in extraordinary supernatural power. But before they can be trusted with the miracles and influence of the Kingdom, they must first be tested with something even more dangerous—wealth.

The Surprising Test: Mega Wealth
According to Joyner, the Lord revealed that these chosen ones will be entrusted with incredible financial resources—“mega finances”—as a test. This won’t be a reward; it will be a proving ground. How they steward such wealth will determine whether they can be trusted with even greater Kingdom resources, including miracles, authority, and spiritual insight.
Joyner cautions that this isn’t about prosperity for comfort. “We don’t want to build a bigger house,” he says. “We want to raise our standard of giving, not our standard of living.” Generosity, not greed, must mark this remnant people.
Living with Eternal Perspective
Joyner points to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as models. Though they were incredibly wealthy—so much so that kings envied them—they chose to live in tents. Their hearts were set on a better city, “whose architect and builder is God” (Hebrews 11:10). Likewise, Paul the Apostle, once extraordinarily wealthy, chose a simple life of obedience. Kings sought bribes from Paul, recognizing his financial capacity, yet Paul used his influence to preach the gospel rather than accumulate possessions.
The patriarchs and apostles lived with eternal perspective, not earthly indulgence. Joyner insists that the same must be true for this upcoming generation of mighty ones. Those who have seen God’s city will not be impressed by man’s.

Walking Worthy of the Wealth
This prophetic message isn’t about avoiding wealth—it’s about passing the test that comes with it. Will the Church steward wealth for Kingdom purposes or self-exaltation? Joyner warns that wealth can corrupt faster than power. If God’s people are going to receive the resources needed to do the “greater works,” they must demonstrate humility, obedience, and an unshakable vision of God’s eternal Kingdom.
Five Things We Learned
- Wealth is a spiritual test—God uses money to reveal where we place our trust.
- Extraordinary financial blessing is coming to select believers—but it’s a test, not a reward.
- God is raising up a generation of “mighty ones” who will walk in supernatural power and must first prove trustworthy with earthly riches.
- Eternal vision matters—believers must follow the example of patriarchs who lived simply while stewarding great wealth.
- Stewardship determines authority—how we manage wealth reveals whether we’re ready to handle greater Kingdom power.
