“My pioneers have been living under the pain and soul sickness of PTSD, but right now I am bringing them back to life” Right now many pioneers feel like David and his men at Ziklag—returning to find everything you fought for burned to the ground, and everything you loved stolen. You’ve been through endless battles, only to arrive at this breaking point, crushed under the pressure of situations you don’t understand and outcomes you didn’t expect. The warfare has been relentless, and the seeming loss overwhelming and you have wept until there is nothing left. You gave all you had to obey the call, and now you’re standing in the ashes, wondering if it was all in vain, doubting whether you even heard God correctly. I know what you are feeling. The exhaustion is not just physical; it is spiritual, emotional, and mental. The dark night of your soul has stretched on, and you’ve wondered if you will ever see light again. You’ve carried the wounds of betrayal, disappointment, and abandonment. You fought hard for others, but now you feel soul-sick and too weary to move forward. But I hear the Lord say, “This is not the end— and you aren’t crushed beyond my rescue, because while it may not look like it, I have been pulling you out of the soul crushing defeat and emotional baggage of your last season and mission” “Yes, and like you draw snake poison from a wound I have been drawing out the poison of slander, witchcraft, and personal disappointment to the surface to free you once and for all” “This is why you have felt the way you do, because it’s all manifesting around you, but not for the reason you thought it was” “This is actually your restoration. Just as David strengthened himself in Me after Ziklag, I am releasing supernatural strength to you right now” “What feels like the end is actually a threshold. The enemy thought the fire would destroy you, but this is where the tide turns. Just as I told David, ‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and recover all,’ I am speaking this word over you now: You will recover everything. What was stolen is not lost forever. What the enemy burned, I will restore” “You did not hear Me wrong. Every word I spoke still stands. The dream is not dead—it’s about to be resurrected” “The enemy whispered lies to make you believe you failed, but you are not defeated—you are in transition. The fire that tried to destroy you will now become the fuel for your next assignment” “The soul sickness and trauma will no longer rule over you like it has in the past and it will not determine your steps or how you see anymore. I am right now lifting the weight off your heart and clearing the fog from your mind” The Lord says, “Now look for the second wind that is coming on the other side of this extraction, for I am re-commissioning you.” “This time, you will not run exhausted ; you will run with a renewed fire and unstoppable clarity” “You will not only rebuild what was lost—you will build beyond what you ever imagined. This Ziklag moment is not your grave—it is the launching pad for the next chapter.

This past weekend, I was walking down the National Mall in Washington, D.C., during the Million Women event, when I heard the sound of hooves—galloping, fast, and almost deafening. It was so loud in my spirit that it stopped me in my tracks. As I stood there, I heard the phrase: “Heaven’s gates opened, and the horses were released.” Just a few days earlier, in a meeting with Lou Engle, he shared about how the Lord had woven all the threads of his life together for this event. Lou said, “This one is different—it’s a mass commissioning service for God’s daughters.” As he spoke, I saw seeds flying out from D.C., scattering across the earth and becoming wildfires. I knew this moment was significant—one of release, calling, and awakening. This wasn’t my first prophetic encounter in D.C. Years ago, on a trip to Washington, the Lord gave me a dream saying, “Go to the eastern gate of D.C. and pray.” From that moment on, I’ve always seen Washington, D.C., not just as a place of governmental authority, but as a spiritual gateway—a place of intercession, heavenly legislation, and divine release. Psalm 24 says, “Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.” But what if these ancient gates are not just places for the King to enter? What if they are also the gates releasing the horses of heaven—wild, unrestrained, and sent on divine assignment? And now, I say to you—God’s daughters, and the Mordecais standing with them—RUN. Christy and I were sent to D.C. years ago as God’s Lighthorsemen from Australia, joining the fight at America’s doorstep. But now, the time has come for you to rise as the wild horses commissioned for this moment in history. We must rise as God’s wild ones, unrelenting and unstoppable. God’s horses are wild, uncontainable, and bold, and that is exactly what you were made to be. The gates of heaven have swung open, and you have been commissioned to run. Don’t hold back. Run with abandon, knowing that the fire of the Spirit burns within you. Run, carrying seeds of awakening that will spread across nations. The time is now. The gates are open. The King of Glory is riding with you. It’s time to chase out Goliath’s brothers, to break the strongholds, and to take back what the enemy has tried to steal. You were born for this moment in history—wild, free, and unstoppable. So I say to you once more: Run, wild horses. Run. The race ahead is not for the faint of heart, but the King is with you, and the victory is already assured. This is your commissioning. This is your moment. Now is the time—run.

You are moving mountains the enemy is occupying. Your obedience is shifting spiritual atmospheres, tearing down strongholds, and disrupting the enemy’s plans. You are taking ground the enemy thought he owned. Every step you take is reclaiming territory for the Kingdom of God, advancing into areas the enemy has long held captive. You are moving out of survival into the freedom of the Lord. You are breaking free from cycles of fear, lack, and striving, stepping into the abundant life Jesus promised. You are a threat to the enemy’s plans. The enemy is targeting you because your obedience carries divine strategies that dismantle darkness. You are undergoing promotion and elevation. This season of warfare is preparing you for greater authority and influence. God is refining you for new levels of leadership. You are about to give birth to a new move of God. The intensity you feel is the spiritual labor leading to a release of new life, new vision, and new assignments. The enemy is attacking your voice and confidence because it is powerful. Your words carry heaven’s authority, and the enemy fears what will happen when you speak out in boldness. The mental warfare is designed to distract you from your assignment. Confusion, doubt, and fear are weapons the enemy uses to divert you from the path God has laid out for you. You are on the verge of breakthrough. The enemy’s resistance is often greatest just before the fulfillment of God’s promises. Your breakthrough is imminent. You are being prepared to lead others into freedom. Your battle is not just about you—it’s about the people you are called to deliver and lead into wholeness. The battle is confirmation of your calling. The intensity of opposition reveals the significance of your assignment. You are marked by God for a great purpose. The target on your back is evidence that the enemy sees you as a threat. You are being attacked not because you are failing, but because the enemy knows you carry the power to win. The One who called you is faithful to finish what He started. God is with you in every battle. What He began in you, He will complete. He will see you through to victory. You are increasing in anointing. The pressing you feel is producing new oil—fresh anointing that will empower you to carry greater spiritual authority. You are about to enter a new season of visibility and influence. God is positioning you to be seen and heard in ways you have never experienced before. Your time to shine is near. You are about to build what the enemy has tried to hold back provision on. The resistance against your resources is because what you are building will dismantle darkness. But provision is being released. You are breaking through the ceilings of demonic holds. The limitations the enemy tried to place over you are being shattered. You are rising above the boundaries of fear, oppression, and control You are walking in obedience that terrifies the enemy. Your steps of faith are advancing God’s kingdom and disrupting the enemy’s plans, causing him to panic. You are breaking generational cycles and strongholds. You are confronting spiritual patterns that have held people captive for generations, becoming a pioneer of freedom. You are walking into promises the enemy tried to steal. What the enemy delayed, God is restoring. You are about to claim promises that have been held back. You are being transformed to carry new oil. The process you are in is producing fresh revelation, strength, and anointing for the next season. The enemy is trying to exhaust you so you give up. Fatigue and weariness are his tactics, but God’s grace is sufficient—He will renew your strength. Your mind is under attack because your thoughts shape your future and guide your steps. The enemy knows if he can influence your thinking, he can derail your destiny by leading you off course and creating Ishmaels, but God has given you the mind of Christ. You are facing opposition because your prayers are effective. The enemy fears your intercession because it releases heaven’s will on earth and shifts spiritual atmospheres. You are stepping into a new level of identity and authority. The attacks on your identity are attempts to keep you from fully stepping into who God has called you to be. The attack is proof of your influence in the spiritual realm. Your life carries spiritual weight, and the enemy’s resistance is proof that you are making an impact. God is using the pressure to reveal what cannot stay. The battle is exposing lies and fears that God is purging from your life to make room for His fullness. You are aligning with God’s timing, which the enemy hates. You are stepping into divine timing, and no force in hell can stop what God has ordained for you. The warfare will serve as a testimony to others. What you overcome will become a testimony that strengthens and guides others through their own battles. Hold your ground. The intensity of the warfare is not a sign of defeat but a sign of impending victory. What you carry is worth fighting for, and what God has promised you will come to pass. Stay faithful—breakthrough, provision, and freedom are on the horizon. So as you see the bullseye hovering over you begin to praise God because you are moving and shaking and evicting darkness. KEEP GOING!

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?
