2021 - THE RISE OF THE COUNTER-CULTURE ARMY, THE BARED-TEETH BRIDE, & THE FIERY HOT REMNANT

"The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion" Proverbs 28:1

Where we are headed we need clear words. We need prophetic blueprints for the year that show us the path to stick to so that we aren’t robed, pillaged, and plundered, but walk safely and are effective. For that purpose, I want to deliver this word in a bullet-point format that you can constantly look back to in 2021. There are three themes in my spirit for 2021 and this is one of them. I pray it ignites you and stirs you and provokes you to live all in for Jesus this year.

  THE YEAR THAT THE ARMY OF DRY BONES BECOMES THE ARMY OF AWAKENED WARRIORS

  • I have been absolutely transfixed in the last month as I have been praying for this new year and I have only one thing in my sights - the ecclesia being raised up, roaring, bold, and shining bright in the earth.
  • An ecclesia that like yeast worked into dough will be worked into all areas of society.
  • This year will see the dry bones army - the sleeping church become some of the most radical warriors we have ever seen. The pandemic woke them up.
  • We will see the church throw out the pointless tools and weapons and messages and get back to the simple gospel again.
  • We will see those who were decommissioned get back their fire and those who were stuck in a rut and on the side-lines get back their passion and purpose.
  • We are going to see a soul-winning army arise. An army whose anointing is to go after souls and they will go hand in hand with revivalists who are called to uncap wells in the nations.
  • We are going to see the next level of awakening around the earth and it’s our job to prophesy them awake.

  “So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army” Ezekiel 37:10

  IN 2021 YOU WILL SEE WHAT GOD WAS FASHIONING THROUGH THE WARFARE YOU FACED IN 2020

  • I saw a vision of the Lord taking all of the conflict, chaos, warfare, accusation, slander, betrayal, pressure, crushing, and demonic assignments that had come against Gods people in 2020 and using it to forge weapons of warfare - mighty hammers that would be used in 2021 for the Kingdom.
  • You will see that every battle was not in vain or for nothing. You will see that the pain was worth it because you will now see the gain.
  • In 2020 you were opposed to the point of breaking point but now YOU are rising up as the breaker in both your personal circumstances and in the nations.
  • You will feel a strange and unusual instinct to oppose the things that have been robbing you, others, and robbing the church from its inheritance.
  • You will finally accept that you are not some weak and powerless Christian but a weapon of war that God is going to move through in the years to come.

“You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you, I break nations in pieces; with you, I destroy kingdoms” Jeremiah 51:20  

“Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire” Isaiah 9:5

THIS IS THE YEAR YOU LEAVE YOUR SICK-BED & FINALLY BEGIN YOUR LEGACY AS A GIANT KILLER

  • This is a year of great healing that always comes after or through seasons of great opposition.
  • 2020 was a year the enemy tried to keep you in your sickbed, in fact, he tried to tie you down to it, but it didn’t work.
  • This year you will experience breakthrough after all the breaking you have been through.
  • You will feel the yoke come off your shoulders and the concrete break off your feet.
  • You will feel like deliverance has come to your house where it used to feel like a place of madness and chaos as the enemy tried to break you down.
  • You will feel the Luke 4:14 moment of leaving your valley of testing empowered by the spirit and you will realize that the fight for your life was in fact the fight for your destiny and you overcame it.
  • This year you will see the anointing that increased upon you through your struggles and opposition.
  • You will easily slay the giants that used to take you out and you will aggressively shut the door on things that used to rob you and over and over.
  • This is the year you stop identifying as an outcast, a victim or rejected. There is an invitation at this moment to move past your long history and stop rehearsing it.
  • Your sickbed isn’t your story - you leaving it is.
  • This is where your legacy and odyssey begins.

“When they are sick, God will restore them, lying upon their bed of suffering. He will raise them up again and restore them back to health” Psalm 41:3

THE YEAR OF REFORMATIONAL POSITIONING, COUNTER- CULTURAL COMMISSIONING, & THE FILLING OF EMPTY VACANCIES    

  • In a vision, I saw a military strategy boardroom where there was a map and people were being moved into new positions and vacancies that were not currently filled. These were strategic counter-culture positions being filled so we would see the shifting of major strongholds in the nations and the takedown of giants that have been dominating and enforcing culture.
  • This year God is raising up a reformational army for both the church and an army sent into the heights of the secular. It already began in 2020 but we will start to see the rudder turning in specific areas in 2021.
  • God has Daniels, Joseph’s, and Esther’s already planted in influential roles with the kings of the earth but watch as this year God gives them a voice.
  • God is raising up a prophetic media army this year - a band of trusted voices that will raise the bar and restore validity to the prophetic and they will be the new sound where the prophets of Baal, worldly media and Ichabod prophets have been missing the mark.
  • This is a year of greater sending and releasing. A year of the greater apostolic building of new wineskin expressions and movements.
  • In October the Lord said to me to not start the year out too FULL because we would need some margin and CAPACITY for the unexpected assignments and blueprints He gives us.
  • God is moving some people geographically who have been feeling purposeless and without a tribe.
  • God is repositioning those who have picked up the new apostolic mantles and mandates for cities and regions.
  • I have been seeing new nameplates in offices and the changing of the guard has happened and many will be surprised at what God places in their laps this year.
  • So follow your peace, follow your favor, and use your mantle!

“Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” John 20:21

THIS YEAR WE WILL SEE THE GREATER EXPOSURE OF LIES & HIDDEN AGENDAS, SEE VEILS REMOVED, & TRUTH BROADCASTED

“So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth” Luke 20:21

  • In 2020 we saw the spirit of confusion and chaos hit the church during the pandemic and reveal our need for revelation truth. Not just convenient truth or truth that is uplifting but also sobering truth that hits the places where lies and deceit have been festering like a wound.
  • I had a vision of a leprous man months ago that was trying to avoid looking in the mirror but as He looked at himself and realized how sick in areas he was, he was suddenly healed.
  • We are about to see a rising up of truth carriers who may look at first like they are arrogant or uncompassionate but they will be the healers of afflictions that lies and demonic deceit created.
  • This year we are going to see anointed truth, revelation truth broadcasted that removes veils of bondage cast over the nations and sets captives free.
  • There will be a media shift or a “slide” where there will be networks and stations that lose their ratings and position as truth carriers take back the airwaves.
  • “There’s a whole other layer” the lord keeps saying to me and in 2021 we are going to see the next layer of corruption uncovered around the earth and the unveiling of handshakes around the nations established for the purpose of multi-national control and power.

THE YEAR OF THE BARED TEETH BRIDE, THE HEAVYWEIGHT PROPHETS, & THE ESTABLISHING OF THE COMPANY OF THE TRUE

  • In September of last year, Rosh Hashanah, I had a vision of a Lion that was roaring, and then it opened its mouth even wider to reveal all its teeth. The Lord then spoke to me and said “This will be the year that the church goes from beginning to roar to BARING its teeth!”
  • The 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet is “shin” which looks like a crown but stands for teeth representing both the church realizing royalty and also its ferocity.
  • This year we are going to see the church rise up as the bold bride she was always called to be not tolerating and passively allowing robbery and being bullied.
  • This year the prophetic movement is going to face a crossroads of either baring their teeth or being silent and inactive. The days of passive prophecy without power are over and God is refining the prophetic, pulling prophets up higher into their weightier calling and extending an invitation to step into the mantle of real prophecy.
  • Sugar-coated words are not going to take us anywhere in 2021, in fact, the conviction of the Holy Spirit is going to fall upon those using prophesy as a marketing ploy and they will either lose the show and shape up, or go back to prophet character school.
  • We are going to be so surprised who God raises up in 2021.. surprised at who God restores and brings back from the brink of hell and who God mantles with prophetic wisdom and insight for the hour.
  • The houses without real prophets are going to be stumbling in the dark constantly thrown back and forth in the dichotomy of culture while those who embrace the pure prophets will stand the tests that come, have deep roots, and be on the cutting edge of what God is doing.
  • God is raising up a prophetic company who will stand true to what He has said no matter what shakes and no matter what comes against the church. They are the ones that against all odds, opposition, and ridicule have not moved from their post and they will continue to point the church to true north in turbulent times. Interestingly the gematria of “shin” is 300, and like Gideon’s army God is raising up his remnant right now who will choose Him when others fall away.

THE YEAR OF NO MORE COMPROMISE, MIXTURE, OR BEING IN UNEQUALLY YOKED RELATIONSHIPS/ALIGNMENTS

  • Recently when praying for the new year I had a dream I was at a Christian carnival and was invited to be with the “in” crowd which included some A list Christian names but I felt strongly to not join them. I then saw a friend who also turned down this group and he said to me “Nate, where we are going we cannot compromise!”. I woke up shaking in the fear of the lord.
  • The word “compromise” means a stance in between two different things, to find or follow a way between extremes, or in other words to sit on the fence, take the easy path, the road of least resistance, and not having to make a stand in one place or conviction.
  • This year we can no longer be lukewarm, or call the middle ground the higher ground like it’s some kind of spiritually enlightened place. Let’s call that for what it is .. being neither hot nor cold, not standing for truth or for the lies, and avoiding confrontation so you are appeasing everyone around you. This doesn’t last long and eventually the sand beneath begins to shake and you have to somewhere.
  • This year we cannot be the kings of mixture holding both the ropes of culture and the ropes of the kingdom. It’s a tug of war we can’t win. We must take a stand for righteousness!
  • This year God is wanting us to be in fruitful relationships and alignments, not convenient ones for the sake of networking or being in the who's who.
  • God is right now jealously leading you out of unequally yoked relationships and connections that are not sustainable. He doesn’t want you opening yourself up to immature people who lack the character to go the distance or the desire to follow the Lord where you are.
  • But watch this year as God brings you people who are lovers of God and not lovers of themselves or some other temporary, fleeting, affection.
  • This year we need to be a people of no compromise.. knowing our convictions.
  • We need to learn to protect the anointing and not let flies in the ointment.
  • We need to learn how to DISCERN better, and not cast our pearls..
  • We need to learn how to establish better boundaries and expectations in relationships and learn how to honor better than we have.
  • This year it may feel like your inner circle gets smaller but your tribe will get bigger..

THE YEAR CHRISTIAN CELEBRITY CULTURE LOSES ITS INFLUENCE & WE BURN THE GOLDEN CALF

  • A standout point of my dream was the fact that many were following Christian Celebrity culture and in doing so had lost their discernment and way.
  • This year God is purging leadership, redefining motives, and removing worldly influence from the high places of the church. We can’t operate with high charisma and little character - the fruit is damage and pain and communities that never experience transformation.
  • I believe this year that celebrity culture in the church will begin to show its cracks and inability to hide its motives and salesmanship.
  • Those in prominent positions given by men who have no true desire to build the kingdom will be uprooted.
  • Celebrity culture doesn’t raise soldiers but cheerleaders who have no clue how to swing a sword and where we are going it will not be green rooms that will be the training ground for the best warriors but the hard knock seasons of wilderness.
  • There is a famous Australian military training camp called “puckapunyal” or “valley of winds” in the indigenous language, which has been known for raising the best soldiers. This year we need the wind of the Spirit upon us and through us, not the wind and hot air of ego and self-righteousness.
  • God is burning the golden calves that have been holding the church back from being effective. Where we have chosen to elevate and worship any else other than King Jesus.
  • Ministry and status have been an idol and it must be thrown in the fire.
  • This year we must have one affection and motivation - to know Jesus and to make Him known on the earth.

“Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first” Revelation 2:4

THE YEAR OF THE FIRE UPON THE ALTAR, THE WILD PROPHETS, & THE SET APART ONES

“Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” 1 Kings 18:21

  • We are right now in a prophetic parallel to the story of Elijah and the prophets of baal from 1 Kings. There is a choice to be made but let me make it easy.. choose God or choose the world. People will call this polarising but it’s that simple.
  • In this story there was an altar that was on fire and another that wasn’t - that’s our invitation.
  • This year God is bringing together a prophetic remnant that lives as an altar, ON FIRE, and set apart to Him.
  • They will be in this world but not of it.
  • This year the purifying of the prophetic will only get hotter but it will draw the gold to the top. The radicals, wild ones, who have nothing to prove and no other lover than Jesus.
  • The refining has only begun but you are safe in the fire.

“But you are God’s chosen treasure priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world ” 1 Peter 2:9

THE YEAR OF REVELATION, FRESH PURSUIT, VISITATION, & UNEXPECTED HABITATION

  • Recently in a dream, I was sitting in what I knew to be the library of heaven and I marveled at all the books covering the walls of this huge room and felt like a kid in a candy store waiting to read them. These books were revelation knowledge, strategy, direction, a new language, and the mysteries on the Lord's heart that was crucial for the church in this hour.
  • This year we will have access to the new blueprints of heaven and new language and themes on His heart for this kairos time.
  • As I looked at the books and went to grab one I saw an open door to a corridor and I suddenly felt the overwhelming intoxication of the Lord's presence in there so I left the library and followed. I followed a winding staircase that seemed to go down and never seemed to end. Every step I took I was becoming more love-sick for Him and no longer cared for reading the books in the library. I was in pursuit of Jesus and nothing else.
  • This year the Lord is calling the church back to her first love. I hear Him saying “come with me. Will you leave everything behind for a moment with me?”
  • This year God us tugging on the hearts of those who have lost the encounter they began with and is wooing the church back to her knees, back to the carpet of intimacy again.
  • God wants to share the secrets of His Heart but will we pursue Him or just his revelation? If we pursue Him we will receive so much more than revelation.
  • This year God wants us to experience fresh visitation and be reminded that He is an intimate God and wants to be known and for us to be known.
  • He is going to break off the stale religiosity that has caused so many to be servants and not sons and daughters.
  • Get ready for a fresh wave of sonship and renewed identity come to the forefront.
  • I see meetings having unusual manifestations, healings, and remarkable transformations through the baptism of love where people walk away branded by the Holy Ghost and saying “The King of Glory kissed me!”
  • I feel so strongly that the Lord is wanting to not just visit but dwell.. We are going to see the habitation of heaven in different places and locations that simply give him room.

THE YEAR OF HOME-BIRTHS, RAW REVIVAL FIRES, & MOVEMENTS FOR SOULS & THE HARVEST

  • Jesus said in John 4:35” Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest” and if you are wanting to know what the army has been raised for - it is this. Harvest. The lost. It’s not so the church can look good or we can be on top. No, it’s so we can serve the world and love them and show them, Jesus. It’s so they can be whole and free.
  • Freely we receive and freely we give and this year we will. We will love better than we have and serve better than we have served.
  • We will move with love and compassion like Jesus and lay down our lives for others.
  • It’s speaking up for the unborn and the oppressed and seeing injustices overturned and our lands healed. This is what it is about. Revival..
  • This year we are going to see revival fires break out organically in so many places.
  • For months now I keep hearing “home-births” and I believe it’s the Lord revealing that He is going to pour out His Spirit upon home gatherings this year.
  • “Where two or more are gathered” get ready for His presence to fall powerfully.
  • Out of authentic prayer and worship will arise movements that will be at the forefront of this great harvest.

THIS IS THE YEAR THAT WE SEE THE BEGINNING OF AMERICAS REFORMATION & RETURNING

“I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus” Acts 20:21

  • When we were in D.C in October I felt the Lord tell me to walk into an angry protesting crowd at the Supreme Court and to lay my hands on the ground and pray, and as I did I saw a key turning in a lock and the Lord said: “Now begins the TURNING of this great nation back to me as in the days of its youth!”
  • This year we will see the beginning of the return to Godly values. It will come with a fight but it will prevail.
  • Reformation means to restore to its original design and value and this is what God is doing in this nation right now in its greatest moment of conflict.
  • Regardless of what you hear and see, this nation is right now in a tug of war that the enemy cannot win.
  • A move of repentance and TURNING is about to hit this nation and once again we will see people come to the feet of Jesus..

THE TEST DAYS MAKE WAY FOR THE BEST DAYS - OUR GREATEST DAYS ARE UPON US

  • In October I had a vision of a reformer God had raised up in 2020 and I saw the spear of Saul being hurled at him, but as it came at him he grabbed it and held it in his hands in a stance for battle. I asked the Lord what I was seeing and He said that He was using the weapons of the enemy as weapons that will be catalysts for movements around the earth.
  • This year God is harnessing the hate and ridicule against the church and using it to increase the church.
  • The enemy wants the church to shut its voice but it’s only given the church a greater opportunity to be a voice.
  • We as the church are being positioned for the increase and for the harvest at hand and we are truly going from glory to glory.
  • This year we are going to see the church pivot even more, adjust even more, and be purged even more but it’s not just the Lord removing the stumbling blocks - it’s also a sign of growth!
  • We are growing and maturing, and we are going to see the church be the pure and spotless bride!
  • This is our Isaiah 60 season to arise and shine!
  • This year we will see greater shaking but also greater unity.
  • Streams will merge and walls will come down! 

I PROPHESY THAT THIS YEAR YOU WOULD BE BOLD, UNCOMPROMISED, UNDIGNIFIED, & UNAPOLOGETIC OF YOUR PURSUIT OF JESUS, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, HIS WILL, & HIS WAYS SO THAT THE LUKEWARM GET HOT, THE FIRELESS GET BACK THEIR FIRE, & THE NATIONS ENCOUNTER HIM!

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

By Nate Johnston February 21, 2025
Last night I had an intercessory dream where I began to say "Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! God, bring out the wild ones who have been in hiding. Bring out those who have been in death, those who feel like it's all over for them. Those who have been counted out, those who have been assassinated, those who have been robbed, plundered, and destroyed. God, bring out those who feel like they are being decommissioned. Bring out those who feel unclean. Bring out those who feel cast out and rejected from the church. Bring out those who have been silenced, muzzled, and voiceless, God, and anoint them! Put hot coals on their tongues!" Suddenly, the scripture Luke 4:14 came before me - “He came out of the wilderness in the power of the Spirit." And I knew in my spirit that this intercession was for the changing of the guard, for those who feel disqualified and broken because of what they’ve walked through, for those who feel like they’ve lost their anointing and strength, like Samson after his hair was cut. Then I continued to pray: "God, bring them out. Bring out the Nazarites! Bring out the new watchmen on the walls for the nations. Bring out the prophets and the intercessors, the apostles, the evangelists, those who have been in hiding, bring them out!" And I felt the Lord say that it was time for these hidden ones to come out of their season of wilderness warfare and torment, and they were going to come out with a fresh, hot coal on their tongues, to speak a fresh word of the Lord into this current moment in time. Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I began to hear the intercession of the saints. I could hear the tongues - a mighty roar rising from a generation that had been silenced and quenched for so long. I began to feel the birth pangs of the nations coming to a finality - a tipping point. This intercession felt like the midwife prayers of an impending birth of the nations in the earth. It was a prayer over the church, calling her to become the pure, spotless bride she was meant to be. I could feel the intercession of agreement with long forgotten words spoken over nations, cities, and regions, for revival, for reformation, for Jesus to be revealed in the earth. Then I began to cry out: "Lord, come! Lord Jesus, come!" Then suddenly, the prayers of the saints rose up in unity, crying out together: "Yes, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus, come!" I believe i had this dream because God is raising up a battlecry from the John the baptist, wilderness voices that are coming out of hiding to take thier post as the watchman of the hour and the fresh sound in the earth declaring “Prepare ye the ay of the Lord! So to the wilderness voices, maybe you’re feeling this. Maybe you've been through a season of robbery and wilderness - a season where it feels like you've been removed from your calling. But this is the season where God is bringing you back! He is placing a hot coal on your tongue! So if that is you today, I want to speak and prophesy over you: The hot coals are coming. You're about to feel a fresh unction. You're about to feel a fresh flow. And out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water in Jesus’ mighty name!
By Nate Johnston February 21, 2025
While the nations are in the pangs of birth right now, upheaval, chaos, and major transition, so is the church and so are you... True revival requires messy. It’s the oxen in the stable that disrupts man’s tidy plans that exclude the move of the Spirit, and shatters the veils of culture’s desensitization. And you are there right now. In the messiest of messy seasons, not because you failed but because you ASKED FOR IT. You cried out for breakthrough. You cried out for restoration. You cried out for the more of the Lord. Messy personal revival upsets the rhythms of your life that are no longer moving you forward but instead are keeping you stuck. Messy revival breaks ties and contracts and bondages you have been under that have been putting a ceiling over you and quenching your fire. Messy revival exposes the snakes in the grass and the places of robbery that have been depleting you and shifting your focus. Messy revival moves you out of limiting environments and causes you to long for wide open fields again. Messy revival brings a discontent for any sliver of complacency and religion you have tolerated. Messy revival brings death to everything in your life that is an obstruction to the “greater” God is wanting to pour out. Messy revival confronts and administers healing balm to places to deep seated trauma and pain keeping you in “medication” mode and staying in your sick bed. Messy revival redirects, corrects your steps, recalibrates, and sets your feet on the right path. Messy revival opens your eyes to where you have even in survival mode and going through the motions. Because messy revival comes primarily to set you on fire so you BURN again after years of warfare and walking through endless battlefields. And messy revival is here because God knows who you really are and what you are called to step into in this new season. It re-mantles you, leads you to surrender old manna and burn the old plow, renews your youth like the eagles, and restores the joy of your salvation. Do you feel it?

By Nate Johnston February 20, 2025
I woke up with John 11:11 on my heart this morning; “After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” I’m highly aware that God is awakening many right now that have been through the intensity of years of hard battle. It can break you. Dismantle your faith. Crush your courage and distinguish your fight and fire for the Lord over time. It can even feel like it’s de-commissioned you. But right now in a short period of time the Holy Spirit is dealing with the past seasons STUFF.. I wrote this, this morning; God sees your process and he isn’t rushing you right now. You have walked through alot and seen alot. Your heart has been through 20 years in 4 years so give yourself space to let Him revive you and reinvent you. Give Him room to clean out the hope deferred and cobwebs of the past seasons. Right now it’s all coming to the surface and He is tenderly scooping it out and breathing life back into your lungs. Soon you’ll wake up no longer feeling heaviness, anxiety, and deep unshakeable weariness, but it will feel like a valve was just flipped on the inside of you and out of your belly rivers will flow again. You’ll feel the pain and hardship of this past season and the toll it took on you mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually begin to lift as God OVERHAULS you in a short period of time. It’s an Ezekiel 37 - army of dry bones moment and it’s necessary so you don’t stay in your sick bed but are revived back to full health. Is this what is going on in you? There are great days ahead for you.. lean in and let the finished work complete the job. Can we pray for you this week? This is what He is doing; “who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:5 Lord I pray that you would renew their youth like the eagles! Restore the joy of their salvation! Bring that back into full health and joy in Jesus name!

This week's prophetic insight speaks to the current clash of kingdoms between those warring for legacy and the Jezebel spirit trying to hold onto its ground in a time of exposure and eviction on all levels. It’s a word of hope for those who have been on the journey with the Lord to break into a greater level of authority and victory over the enemy's schemes in this time we are living in. So let me start here: I believe this is a season in which the Lord is calling us into a higher place of spiritual intelligence and to take back the reins on the earth. They have been in the wrong hands. I believe this is a season when the Lord is giving back His power to the Church, but right now, God is dealing with the house of Ahab. The house of Ahab has robbed the Church of power and authority, which is why we have seen a recession of signs and wonders. The Church has been run by Ahab, but God is removing Ahab, and the drought will break over our lands. We will enter a season of glory once again. In an atmosphere of glory, power will return to the church. Signs, wonders, and miracles will be restored because, in an Ahab system, there is a brass-ed heaven. In this season, we have seen this brass covering over the Church, a ceiling caused by what we have allowed to rule there. But God is now dealing with the house of Ahab, and as He does, the Church will enter a realm of supernatural clarity and flow we haven’t seen in years. But how does this happen? FOR THE BLOODLINE BREAKERS There are people God has been raising up - His bloodline breakers. A generation - young to old whom God has called to break generational curses in their own lives, marriages, and families in a culture of acceptable Jezebel-ic influence and narcissistic dominance. But the purpose of God calling you, your family, and your marriage into this isn't just for your sake. While God is certainly working in your life, the most integral part of your divine calling is LEGACY. How do we establish legacy? We establish a legacy by breaking the dysfunctions and toxic patterns of the past that have seeped into our family lines, shaping the way we think, act, and engage with life. These dysfunctions are inherited not only from biological parents but also from spiritual influences. God has been working in your life, but there is a far greater reason: He is doing this for the church. God knew you could not break a corporate bloodline unless you first broke a personal one. You could not be a Jehu for a generation unless you were first a Jehu for your family. Does this make sense? Right now, I believe God is bringing decades of battling the Jezebel and Ahab spirits to a head. Many of you have been fighting this war in your personal lives, which is manifesting in various circumstances. Some of these may make you feel you have lost as if you've been through a warzone and have come out worse for wear. But let me assure you, it all will be worth it. This year, you will begin to notice that the battles you once fought are losing their steam. Why? Because whether you see it or not, you have stepped into your role as a Jehu for your family. Your strength has increased, and your spiritual muscles have grown. The Word of God says in Leviticus 21:15, "So that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am Yahweh who sets him apart." You have been set apart for this! Do you see it? Well done for battling all these years because it’s now coming to a head! Well done for being a Jehu for your family. You are now stepping into a season where you will witness the fruit of what God has done through your life, not only personally but in a corporate context. Did you know that the word of the Lord came to Jehu to annihilate Ahab and his sons? (2 Kings 10) We are witnessing this unfold. It wasn’t just about Jezebel; it was about dismantling an entire system. Jezebel created a subtle but powerful force, not only through her daughter Athaliah but also through an Ahab army, a mindset that would permeate the culture of the Church and dominate the world stage. In 1 Kings 21, Jezebel killed Naboth to get his vineyard for Ahab. When I think of the vineyard, I think of revival, the Jesus People Movement, and the place Lonnie Frisbee called a refuge. But Naboth’s name means "prophecies and words." Jezebel knew that if she could steal the prophetic voice of the Church, she could take the vineyard, and we would have to lean on man’s ways. That is where Ahab stepped in—a palatable form or derivative of Jezebel that would infiltrate the Church and establish idols of compromise and error. This is what the Church has seen for so long. That's why you've been on a take-back mission in your own life: to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab so you can be ready to be a Jehu, slaying the Ahab spirit and regaining the prophetic voice in your life and the Church. I’m saying this because right now, look at the battle in your family and the Church. It’s a battle for the future of our families and the future of the Church. Breaking out of the dysfunctions of Ahab’s system and beginning the vineyard again. By the way, this doesn't mean coming against people. It's coming against a spirit that has permeated culture. And that's been your take-back mission, to restore your bloodline and also to step into a place of being a Jehu that will restore the Bloodline of the Church. I want to be bold and say you're about to step into your shoes as a Jehu for your generation. You have pioneered well, and you have walked the hard road of not tolerating Jezebel. You are taking back your voice in the places it's been muzzled. This is why you have been on a mission to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab. First, to reclaim the prophetic voice in your own life, and then, to be a Jehu to restore the prophetic voice in the Church. LEAVING THE ESCAPE ROOM Now, let me speak to you about inheritance for a moment. Many of us have inherited the fruit of Ahab in our families and churches. It's permeated culture, and we've inherited its fruit. Yet we have been given the task of stepping out of that culture, stepping out of that mindset, and beginning to replace the fruit, replacing the root systems in every area of our lives that we've become used to. It's even been normalized in the Church. But let me say this very clearly: The Lord is bringing us out of our imprisonment. God is giving us the true inheritance that we are meant to have received through the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Just a few days ago, the Lord spoke to me while I was driving, “It’s time to leave the escape room.” There is a very popular activity that people do called an Escape Room. They are locked in this room and must look for clues and keys to help them ‘escape’ before an allotted period of time. What was God saying? He wanted to paint the picture to me that our generation, young and old, have been on a quest to find the keys to break this demonic culture that has been killing our families and society. For us to unlock the prison doors once and for all! We've been pioneers of this revolution to break the bloodlines of what's been acceptable and normal in the nations and our families and bring it back to a biblical standard in our churches. God gave me this phrase because we have been in an escape room. We've been in this place that has felt contained, this place that's felt like a war room, a battleground. It's like we've been in this place where we've been contending for so long because we know there HAS TO BE MORE than what we have seen or been handed! It’s where people have said, “I’m tired of seeing suicide and addiction rob my family! I’m tired of seeing divorce! I’m over seeing moral failures and perversion!” So we're looking for keys, we're looking for clues. We're looking for those things to break out of that place. And in our nations, we see abortion-to-birth laws passed and gender confusion, to name a few. All these different things that are constantly going against God's plan and design. And there's a generation who were born right now to say, “God, that is not your plan or design for my nation or my city. Give me the key. Give me the key!” And I want to prophesy to you that we are in a season that the Lord is giving us the keys to break out of that escape room for our families and for this generation!
 We are in a period of time where God has given the keys to the house of David back to the Church. That is why God had to shift the Ahab culture that has been permeating every facet of our lives. It's so that David can get back the keys. And when David takes back the keys, the door of that escape room swings wide open. And we are no longer receiving the inheritance of that confinement and imprisonment. We're no longer receiving the inheritance of an Ahab culture but rather the inheritance of the Davidic line and the finished work of the cross of Christ. So let me say this again: you are coming out of that place; you are coming out of the escape room right now. Do you see it in all the things God's been doing in your life? He has been confronting all areas of bondage in your life. He's been pulling, prodding, and shaking things upside down because he wants to set you free in you r finances and your health. We have to leave the escape room of man's methods where we are constantly trying to do things to break ourselves out of what God can only break us out of and what the blood of Jesus could only break us out of. And right now, the Blood is speaking a better word over us. We are in a revolution of the blood of Jesus where it's breaking that which has felt unbreakable and where you've said, “God, you could never heal that person of that Jezebel spirit. You could never set them free of that addiction.” But in this season, because of your contending and your prayer, God is breaking them free, setting you free, and setting your nation free right now. Can you see it on a global scale right now, too? Where there is shaking, things are coming to the surface; things are being resolved and exposed on high levels because God is shaking the earth upside down. The glory is revealing that which needs to be broken out and exposed, and the light of God is shining; it’s shining into those places because God is bringing the gold to the surface. In this hour, the glory of God is being revealed to us and through us. LANDING PADS & OPEN DOORS So, in this season where the Lord is leading and summoning the Church out of dysfunction and out of those escape rooms, he's revealing greater revelation on what we have been battling for so long. What we're going to see in the days ahead is essentially a lot of spiritual assignments unmasked. And what this is going to look like in many ways is even doctrine and areas of beliefs that we've had that have sadly, for many, been foundational and cornerstone beliefs that we, as Christians, have believed; certain things that we've accepted and ingested. We're going to see many of these things unmasked as counterfeits and demonic assignments. The smoke and mirrors battle of our age has been demonic assignments trying to lead us to false virtues, false fathering, false comforts, false accountability, false covering, all those things that look like the right and authentic thing, but they're just counterfeits. They fall short. They're plastic. And so, we're about to see the revealing of these spirits for what they truly are, and in that, the Lord will then bring the Church up to a higher place of understanding who they are and their authority. That can only come by experiencing the genuine and authentic thing. So, as these spirits are unmasked, it will help us understand, and we'll have a greater awareness of the spiritual realm, the mechanics of the spiritual realm, and an understanding of what we are dealing with. We can't keep going into a church, sitting in the pews, and having a cushy Christian experience when there's a dying world out there. And you can't keep being robbed in your marriage, your finances, and your health on a weekly basis, paying your tithes, and going home to brokenness and chaos. No, those days are coming to an end. But the area that I want to highlight to you in this unmasking is what the Lord's been speaking to me as: landing pads and open doors. He's highlighting to us through all this shaking, where we ourselves have actually been landing pads to the enemy's plans, keeping us in further bondage personally and corporately. In 1 John 14:30, Jesus said this powerful scripture: “I don’t have much more time to talk to you because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me.” Some other versions say, “he has nothing in common with me.” You see, when there's nothing inside you that resembles or looks like the enemy, he has no power over you. That means you are no longer a landing pad for the enemy. And so, the Lord said to me last week, “Nate, I am removing the landing pads in your life from the enemy!” What I'm seeing is that we're coming out of an era of battling that Jezebel spirit and the Ahab spirit, but in that, God is actually revealing the landing pads and open doors in our lives, enabling them access. I'm talking personally about where we have things in common with that spirit, where we have things that actually cause us to be landing pads for those things. We are coming to a place of complete victory over those spirits. But in order for that to happen, God had to expose the commonality in us with those spirits and reveal the other faces of how this has manifested in culture in the Church and the world around us. For instance, to make this practical right now, we are seeing two faces of Jezebel. For so long, we've said, Jezebel wants to silence you. Jezebel wants to muzzle you. Jezebel wants to intimidate you. Jezebel wants you to be in fear for your life because we look at the passage of scripture about Elijah running into the cave. But did you know there's another face to Jezebel? That there's also the side of Jezebel that wants to lure you into speaking out of turn? Into being a bitter, angry, venom-spitting voice? It’s where Jezebel puts on a different face and, instead of muzzling voices, seeks to raise up voices with the wrong spirit. It’s sneaky because it looks like God’s heart... from a certain angle. It’s cunning because it plays on the pain and experiences of the hurting Church. But it doesn’t carry His heart. That is why Elijah had to go into the cave and be refreshed in his awareness of the voice of God and the mantle that he carried; otherwise, his pain and his fear would've sent him out of that place and deviated from his calling. Does this make sense? God, right now, is dealing with the landing pads and the triggers and the open doors we've had in our lives. He's destroying the commonality that we've had so we can step out of pioneering and contending for breakthroughs and legacy and finally taste it! So even right now, give the Lord any areas in your life, the landing pads and the places of commonality that you've had with the enemy, forgive those you need to forgive, and give God the pain and the wounds of the past. And lastly, let me say this. THANK YOU for walking this narrow road. It’s not been easy, and it’s been costly when so many are choosing to walk in the dysfunctions they  inherited and have leveled oj, choosing not to fight to break free. But you have stood and contended, like Hannah who was barren...you stood. Like Ruth, you stood. Like Jacob, you have wrestled with the promise even when it looked bleak or as if it had failed. But now, you will see the fruit of this long battle and lead others into the same legacy.
