One of the greatest epidemics of the church is breaking right now. And as we start this week, I want to pray over you and prophesy into your life especially if you’ve been isolated by the enemy or been in a season of feeling very disconnected from other believers and from people. If you’ve seen attack and warfare on your relationships, marriages, your kids, and those around you… If you’ve gone through season-after-season of wrong alignments, unhealthy coverings, Sauls instead of fathers & mothers, all while being surrounded by wolves... Or if you’ve just been rejected over and over again, and it’s sent you into isolation. I believe the Lord is speaking to us all in this season. I believe we are seeing a spiritual movement both on a micro and a macro level right now to shift this tide. We’re seeing the Lord expose an assignment that has been allowed and tolerated in the body of Christ for too long. That assignment is isolation. It’s a tactic of the Jezebel spirit, one that has hidden easily within the institutional church paradigm and its thrived within the current culture of the church. But the Lord is weeding it out, exposing it, and bringing us back into the revelation of family and belonging. That truth is counteracting and unloosing the bonds of this demonic principality because people are no longer interested in a nice sermon if they have to go home and be alone in the week. This spirit has worked overtime on us. It’s a principality that hasn’t just broken apart the body of Christ into factions and denominations. It’s also stopped the most powerful voices, those carrying truth, and authority from rising into their place. It’s created a cancel culture within the church. An isolation culture. It’s created antisocial behavioral norms within the church, and we’ve accepted it for too long. But I prophesy today - That is all shifting. I prophesy it’s shifting over your life most importantly. As I was praying into this, I asked the Lord why Jezebel seems so invested in creating this kind of division and isolation. And He said that Jezebel recognizes the power and anointing that comes when the church walks in unity. That’s the macro. The Jezebel spirit knows that when believers support one another, when we link arms, there is an anointing that is unleashed. Because if it can isolate - it can assassinate. Let me say that again - If Jezebel can isolate, it can assassinate. Why do you think so many people can attend church on a Sunday and still feel utterly alone? Why is it accepted that we go to events and meetings and conferences, but still lack genuine connection? The church has often wrapped mission in religious activity, while relational connection, the very essence of family has been lost. It’s led us into pain and deep spiritual disconnection. And it’s time for this to shift. As I continued to pray, the Lord reminded me of the seasons in my own life where this spirit came after us again and again. I remembered being in churches where the nature of our calling led to sudden rejection, pushing us out of community. I remembered delivering a warning word to leaders, and immediately being outcast. I remembered being in a toxic work environment, where a Jezebel-influenced boss physically isolated me in a separate building so she could bully me. And I remembered the many times this happened in ministry spaces. It’s happened over and over again and we have all become used to it. We’ve learned to operate alone. And we’ve called it “normal” ministry life. We say the church is a family, but so many have lived as lone rangers even inside a church setting. But this is breaking now! Look at Elijah in 1 Kings 18. Jezebel threatens him. And he runs for his life. He hides in fear. He isolates. And even though God looks after him, there are a few things that take place in that moment that I believe the Lord is highlighting now as a blueprint for us. First, Elijah is fed. I see this in a few lights - one as the fresh manna from heaven and sustenance building him up again. Secondly, in light of the breaking bread of Acts 2 pointing to God leading him out of isolation. And thirdly as the bread of deliverance. Next he’s reminded of the still-small-voice because fear had drowned it out. In isolation and fear, the voice of the Lord pulls us out because we are so bombarded by lies and it’s the enemies lies that keep us there. Right now the lies that sent you there need to be broken. Then what happens? Elijah wraps his mantle around his face and leaves the cave which is prophetically representative of choosing to pick up what we dropped when we went through the pain of slander and accusation that led us to isolation in the first place. It’s picking up our calling again. Oh but it’s also more. It’s choosing to allow your heart to let people in after a season of being wounded. I believe this is the invitation from the Lord right now. To leave the cave. To leave the place of isolation. I know it’s easier said than done. I know many of you are afraid, and rightfully so. You’ve been burned. You’ve been rejected. But there is a grace right now to break this assignment of isolation and assassination that has put your gifting on pause and your purpose on the back burner. This is a season of finding your tribe. Finding the people who will lift your arms. It’s time to step out of religious, controlled environments and into true community. Into spiritual family. There is a remnant rising for this moment and we are linking arms while creating safe spaces. Pastors and leaders from all walks of life are laying their brands in the dust and choosing connection over control. It’s the Acts 2 core calling us back to breaking bread. This is the priority now. We are better together. Healthier together. Even COVID was a prophetic image of the enemy’s plan to isolate. But we’re saying no more. We will not let this spirit mute our voices or steal our destinies. We need each other. So I prophesy over you: This moment right now marks the breaking of isolation. Loneliness is breaking off of you. It’s time to find your people I prophesy this week you will feel something stirring on this front. A stirring. A longing. Your heart beginning to feel again. And bondages will break in the process. You’ll feel the shift inside and see it on the outside as God brings this into being. I prophesy - New environments, new rooms, new tables places you never imagined will open to you. God can do it in a short time. But I also challenge you , you need to step out. Start walking toward the community God has prepared for you. Because isolation is over In Jesus’ name. 

Let go. Don’t get stuck because you can’t move on without the closure of answers to why things landed the way they did. Why things fell apart and why you were left holding the broken fragments of a dream you felt God led you to. Why you were attacked so relentlessly and lost so much. Why you were shipwrecked, slandered, and feel like you have only gone backwards not forwards. I know it’s cost you everything and you don’t see what it produced yet, but unless you turn the page it won’t allow God to connect the dots and reshuffle the pages that right now feel out of order. For isn’t he the orchestrator of your life? He knows what those dark nights produced even when you didn’t. He knows what those seasons were for even though right now all you see when you look behind is dead ends and wild goose chases. But unless you turn the page you’ll never get to see the rest of the story and see Him connect all the seasons like poetry. Yes, even the hard and most painful moments He has a way of turning around if you’ll let Him. So how do you do that today? Give up. It’s where you choose to close the chapter by giving Him the pieces and questions. It’s a faith thing and the deepest surrender when it feels unjust and you don’t understand. And I know many reading this feel bottled up with grief, but today refuse to keep rehearsing or trying to do this in your own strength. The floor is the only way forward and there’s a brand new chapter waiting to unfold. It’s a call to trust. To believe that even what you can’t understand has been seen, measured, and held by a God who doesn’t waste pain. But you have been living in a chapter that ended a long time ago. The ink dried, the door closed, but your heart stayed behind trying to rewrite what already happened. Let that go. The new is already here waiting for you to choose it over the tired tape of the past you have been watching. It’s here to show you that there’s so much more ahead for you than you knew. It’s waiting to breathe life into your lungs and bring clarity and vision after the fog. So turn the page, not because you understand but because you are choosing to trust the one who’s writing it. And watch what He does with the blank space. 

As we start this week, I have a word for many out there: Don’t miss your burning bush season. Or maybe I should say, don’t overlook your burning bush season. Don’t miss it. We often look at seasons where things don’t add up or make sense and diagnose them as seasons of waiting, seasons we’re just trying to survive until we get to the next destination, the next stop. We don’t always see the richness of what God is depositing in each season. In the last few days, I keep hearing this: Don’t miss your burning bush season. Remember the story of Moses? He was tending his father-in-law’s sheep in the wilderness when he saw the burning bush. He was simply doing his job, satisfied in it when suddenly, there was an encounter with God. And God pulled him out out of the wilderness, out of that environment, out of that situation, out of the guilt and shame of his past. God pulled him out and gave him an assignment. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law… and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.” - Exodus 3:1–2 “God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, ‘Here I am.’” - Exodus 3:4 He was simply doing his job, when suddenly, there was an encounter with God. And God pulled him out of the wilderness, out of that environment, out of that situation, out of the guilt and shame of his past. God pulled him out and gave him an assignment. “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” - Exodus 3:10 And I believe we are in a moment right now that, to many, feels like a standstill. It feels like a hiatus after a long season of pioneering for the Lord, one that has strangely led to this place of wilderness. As I’ve been sharing for a while, we’ve been in a Hosea 2 season, where the Lord has been leading the Church back into the wilderness. That wilderness has been necessary for you. You’ve needed respite. You’ve needed refreshing. You’ve needed to break away from the hustle so God could reset you and bring you back to encounter, which is the ultimate reset. That’s what truly resets you. You’ve taken on so many mantles and jackets—Saul’s armor—for years. You don’t know which way is up anymore, or what your assignment is, who you’re called to, or who you’re not called to. You don’t know where your alignments are meant to be. You’ve had your hands in too many pies, your feet muddy from too many places. You’ve been slimed, slandered. You’ve walked through heartache, difficulty, betrayal. Yet, you’ve felt the compulsion to step into anything just to feel like you’re not lost. But no, the wilderness has been necessary to set you free. Here’s what you need to know: the wilderness can shift quickly because the wilderness leads to encounter, and encounter launches you into your new assignment. I say this over you and prophesy: you are in a very small window of time where the Lord is doing a massive work. The time isn’t long but the work is deep. Let me say that again: the time isn’t long, but the work is deep. God is going deep generationally. This isn’t a short cleanup process. God is going deep into your life, and He wants to set your feet on a new foundation. That’s right this season you’re in right now is a season of a brand-new slab being laid in your life. A new foundation. What is foundation? It’s where God gets you ready, gears you up for the new thing He’s going to build in your life, around you, and through you. Last year, we went to Australia, and the Lord gave me a dream: two towers crumbling to the ground. He said, “You’re at ground zero.” That’s what this is—a ground zero. A new slab has been laid in your life. God is going low and slow right now. He’s getting you ready because many of us have built for years without a foundation—without solid structure or deep roots. So God’s been setting that right for the new season, and for the Church. But we often misdiagnose seasons of fresh foundation as stagnancy, when they’re anything but. When the Lord sets your heart right, He aligns you to a rhythm and a synergy you didn’t know in the past season. He sharpens your discernment your ability to see and know what’s true. He leads you to the right people, right places, and right environments. I believe one key part of this new foundation is that God is leading many out of loneliness and isolation. He’s not just setting your feet upon the rock of salvation He’s breaking off orphan mentalities, the hustle, the striving and leading you into an Acts 2 infrastructure: community, family, people who hold your arms up so you can thrive. This foundation includes restoration God restoring the years the locusts have eaten. And He’s doing that right now. Now for the weighty part of this word: That moment with Moses at the burning bush was more significant than we often realize. It was like Elisha being mantled by Elijah a sudden shift into his true calling. In that moment, God told Moses: “ Go. Set my people free.” And Moses responded, “But God, I don’t know how to speak.” God replied, “When you go, I will give you the words. I will give you signs. I will give you the power.” “Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent…’ And the Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths?… Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.’” - Exodus 4:10–12 He didn’t just send Moses on an impossible mission. He backed him with the power of heaven. And I feel the word of the Lord right now for many who have been in this season of waiting: You have been fashioned and formed to be a voice for the Lord in this next season. To set the Church free. To set the bound free. God is raising up unconventional, unusual, untrained voices who carry His heart. And I prophesy, in the mighty name of Jesus: this is your burning bush season. You are stepping out of the wilderness and into the bold voice God has called you to be. Let me go one step further: This week look. Look for the signs in your life of breakout. Look for the moments. The encounters. Because that’s where God is waiting for you. You’re looking for external change, for doors to open. But you’re missing the door that’s already swung wide open: the door of encounter. The door to the secret place. The door that leads into the tent of meeting. That’s what I’m calling you to. That’s what God is commissioning you into - a season of intimacy and encounter. So let me prophesy over your - this week, your wilderness shifts. It shifts from waiting to encounter, from wandering aimlessly to walking in clarity. The fog lifts. The silence breaks. Heaven is speaking. Dreams come now! Insight floods your spirit like a rushing river. May the full healing of the wilderness come—so the rest, the restoration, the commissioning can follow. Lord, raise up your wild voices. Those untrained by man but marked by fire. Those who have met You in hidden places. Let them rise now, rooted, ready, and roaring in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

I have a little story to tell you… I was the shy girl at school. I had my small group of friends that I could be myself with, but beyond them, I barely talked to anyone. I was not (and still am not) the outgoing type. I’m your classic introvert 😂 I never wanted a stage (and still don’t 😅) and if you had told me that God would call me one day to speak and write for Him, I probably would have crumbled into a thousand pieces on the floor. I LOATHED public speaking… loathed it, despised it, hated it, wanted to run a million miles from it. I couldn’t even handle small groups, where one at a time, you go around the circle and share something about yourself. My stomach would be in knots as it led up to my turn. I share this to tell you… God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. He qualifies you, little bit by little bit as you step out in obedience to Him. Some of you have written yourselves off… you’ve crossed your name off the calling God has appointed to you because you don’t feel qualified for it. You’ve told yourself, “that’s not my personality.” Listen, it’s not mine either 🤣 But, one thing I can tell you is that whatever it is you are called to, God Himself will be with you each step of the way. If we didn’t require complete dependence on Him, it would be in our own strength and we would receive the glory. Yet, when we follow His leading, and depend entirely upon Him - He’s the One that gets all the glory. There is just no way I could have taken each step without Him. I’m here to tell you today, daughter, take that first step He has been leading you to take. Lean into His strength as you do, and I promise, He will show up. He always does. Stop writing yourself out of the calling upon your life. You have something unique that no one else has… give him the fear, the uncertainties, the unknowns, and take that one small step. He is with you. 💕 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong” — 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

By Christy Johnston I recently had a dream where I saw my family and I sitting around a campfire. We had been singing worship songs together, when suddenly, a bear approached our campground and walked closer into our circle. We all froze for a moment, so as not to agitate the bear, but it became clear, she was already agitated. I knew in the dream, it was a female bear, and she proceeded to get closer and closer to my family until she was sniffing the toes of my children. She began hissing and growling loudly, and with a nasty snarl baring her teeth, I knew she was about to bite down into my youngest daughters’ feet. I swiftly moved to stand in-between my daughter and the bear and it was when she was face to face with me that I instinctively knew in the dream, ‘this bear understands words’. She reacted with fierce aggression when I stood in-between her and my daughter, and it was then that I shouted to her, “you MUST leave our grounds in the Name of Jesus.” She shook her head and then stood up on her hind feet, towering above me, as she replied, “I don’t want to leave.” Again, I told her with authority, “you have no choice, you MUST leave, and you must leave NOW!” Again, she growled, and at that moment, the fire we were gathered around released a spark of embers, that blew directly into her face… shocking her and causing her to come back down to her all fours, as she reluctantly walked away, grunting as she went. Most bears in dreams represent powerful and territorial principalities, and interestingly, bears represent principalities that target the vulnerable. I believe this dream was speaking into the presiding demonic authorities of this age that have been targeting children, the family unit and of course, God’s daughters. The fact this was a female bear, represents the counterfeit spirit that has come against the woman – and seeks to destroy her fire. I have to interject here for a moment and highlight this profound connection… a number of years ago, I had a dream where the sea-witch Ursula, from the movie, ‘the Little Mermaid’ was attempting to take away my voice. Ursula’s name means, “she-bear.” Ariel’s was the voice that Ursula was possessed with jealousy to steal… and amazingly, Ariel means, “lioness of God.” The she-bear in my recent dream, points once again to these demon-principality that is possessed with jealousy to steal the voices of God's lioness daughters. It was my voice in the dream followed by the fire of the Lord that brought her low and into submission. It was my authority under the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, that sent her away. I believe the Lord is wanting to remind His daughters in this hour – your voice MATTERS! Your voice is like a watchman over your family, your voice SHIFTS and DISMANTLES the powers of darkness. Your voice is a guard that releases angelic protection to set aflame the powers of darkness. Daughter, if you’ve been experiencing disillusionment, disheartenment, intimidation or frustration, know this… it’s because the bear is trying to silence you and take your ground. It’s time to remind her, the Lion is prowling…. And allow Him to roar through you. Send her running! From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12

I believe the coming months of March, April and May are going to mark a season of divine and supernatural UPGRADE. This theme has been grabbing my attention almost everywhere in recent days and as I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal more, I heard Him say there is first UPGRADE available for divine strategies, visions and navigation, which will then be followed by UPGRADES in financial provisions to make room for the vision. FOLLOW TRUE NORTH. I saw a vision of a person standing at a crossroad, but it was not your typical crossroad with just one or two choices in front of them, but there were multiple pathways stretching out before them like a vein and the person was standing at the cross-point confused and somewhat disorientated. I heard them saying, “I know I am meant to go forward, but which way God? What direction do I go in?” And for a while, they just stood and waited until finally they got down on their knees and looked up and began to pray. Right at the very moment they looked heavenward, I watched as a gold compass was released from heaven, and on the compass was engraved, ‘Follow True North.’ This person grabbed hold of the compass and immediately followed the instructions and began manoeuvring it to find the direction of north. As the arrow settled and landed on true north, it revealed an illuminated pathway before them and they were able to confidently walk ahead. The pathway that the person in this vision followed turned into a mighty rushing river, lined with mines filled with gold. AT THE CROSSROADS. I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing that many of His children are feeling the tension of standing at a crossroads right now, a crossroad with multiple pathways and choices and it seems overwhelming and daunting. Many have felt lost or even abandoned and I believe many others are standing at this place where they are about to take an enormous risk and leap of faith and are needing divine guidance as to which pathway to walk upon. If any of these resonate with you, I believe that as you keep your eyes fixed on Him in a place of surrender, He will release the compass of your true north. For He is YOUR true north. The compass is representative of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, and as you remain in a position of hearing His voice, He will reveal the navigation that will guide you into the DIVINE UPGRADE. ‘I hear the Lord Saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!” I had to laugh at the humour of God in the past few days as He has continued to place little (or BIG) signs in front of my own path to confirm this word as I have been going about my day to day. The first was a literal sign as I was entering a shopping centre and on a giant billboard out front was a picture of a car advertisement, with the title, ‘COMPASS! FIND YOUR TRUE NORTH!’ The second was seeing yet another giant billboard on the freeway, entitled, ‘UPGRADE NOW!’ And thirdly, as I was cleaning a room this afternoon, I watched through the windows as the exact car in the compass advertisement drove slowly past my house with the number plate, ‘NOW!’ I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I want to highlight the prophetic symbolism here, a car represents a ministry, a ministry gift, the Church, a business, or a family. It is also prophetic of the supernatural ability for God to take you further than you could walk in your own strength. So when I saw the compass car drive past my house with the number plate, ‘NOW’, I immediately knew it was the Holy Spirit once more confirming that He is releasing HIS compass to ministries, ministry gifts, churches, business, individuals and families for the path set before them and as they followed His leading, it would open up rivers of revelation and revitalization, surrounded by the resources needed to fulfil the vision God has given. KEYS FOR NAVIGATING NEW ROADS Of course I had to do a little more research on this car and found the prophetic stamp of God speaking all over their website. Who knew God would speak through a car advertisement, right? For the record, please see this through the eyes and ears of prophecy and not a car advertisement. I wanted to highlight a couple of titles that jumped out to me and explain why I believe they are keys for this UPGRADE season we are walking into. Arrive Inspired. You are not designed to wear out and wear thin on the journey, as you stay true to your true north and remain in connection with God, He will revitalize you so that you will have the ability to fulfil the vision at the destination, and not be burnt out and exhausted by the time you get there. Nurture your true nature. Your true nature is a child of God, created to be in constant communication and connection with your heavenly Father, as you nurture your relationship with Him, you protect not only yourself, but the vision. Secure advantages for wise travellers. The wise travellers are the ones who keep the compass (the word of God) with them, in their hearts and ears at all times. It keeps them secure and on the right path. Make room in your world. Don’t get lost in the vision, don’t let the vision itself become your number one priority and focus, ensure you keep God as your number one focus, as you make room for Him in everything – the upgrades will flow. I strongly believe this is a promise for many right now, for those who have lost their way or struggling to know what decision to make for the road ahead, the Holy Spirit is saying, as you align and position your heart to hear His voice in the day to day, He will illuminate the path ahead. There is DIVINE UPGRADE for those who are leaning into the navigation system of heaven right now, are you listening?
