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!

BEYOND THIS POINT EXPECT DIFFERENT

By Nate Johnston • November 20, 2024
A few days ago, I shared a few thoughts I had randomly posted on social media about how things were going to look different in the days ahead. They bubbled out of my spirit because it just felt overwhelmingly obvious and apparent that there had been a shift. But I felt I needed to give a little more language to this. Now that we are here, I can see how the last four years have been leading us to this very point. Maybe even the last 7 years too. While this word is not political in nature—and regardless of where you stand—it has to be said - the recent election was a major tectonic shift, not only for the United States but for the world. It was that significant. A marker moment. In the spirit, I could see it—a major eruption in the deep that ignited thousands more around the world. I knew right then and there that things were never going to be the same again. It’s crazy how one event can spark so many others, but that’s exactly what it felt like. The world I knew and the life I knew before that day were going to be different. It’s like when 9/11 happened. The world changed in a moment. And in the same way—except positively—this one event converged with the timing of heaven, where God was unleashing something upon the earth. WELCOME TO THE NEW DAWN I believe we are at the dawn of a new day in the body of Christ. But a change that I believe is going to challenge us all deeply. It’s going to challenge us to abandon the survival mentality we’ve grown used to over the years. Suddenly, a door has opened and we are on the other side of something. Soon we will see that the battles of yesterday will fade away as we discover we are no longer in that valley we have camped in for years. We will no longer wrestle with many of the battles that defined the previous season. We may no longer deal with constant red tape and bureaucracy, delays, hope deferred, constant difficulties, or relentless warfare over simple things. But it’s not that there are no battles anymore—it’s just that the nature of the battle has shifted. When Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, the battle didn’t stop—it changed form. In the wilderness, their struggles were rooted in the harsh environment, discouragement, disappointment, and the mindset of slavery in Egypt. But as soon as they entered the Promised Land, they were surrounded by incredible wealth, resources, and food. They no longer faced the wilderness battles they once did. Instead, they faced new giants in the land. The battle shifted from mental and emotional challenges to an offensive conquest to take territory and evict its inhabitants. After years in the wilderness the Israelites had to learn to wield their sword again and fight with authority. But to effectively wage war in their new season, they had to believe they were powerful and walk in their authority. I believe that’s where we are right now - a season of governmental occupation. The things we’ve been contending for and persisting in may no longer be relevant. We’re shifting into an entirely new playing field of kingdom conquest. And if you are wondering what the next chapter looks like this is what I see. Battles and dead giants. Challenges and great victories. The stakes have gone up but you and I were born for this. It’s going to cause the spiritually dead to come alive and run into their destiny! Beyond this moment, the body of Christ is stepping into something radically different and we need new eyes to see it so we don’t fall back into the death of routine. THE WINESKIN IS CHANGING For years we have known that the old, tattered wineskin we’ve held onto for so long is no longer effective. It cannot sustain the move of God starting to crash on our shores. In fact, when God shows up our current wineskin will seem embarrassing if we are still holding it. Many will see that they haven’t been ready. We’ve been trying to contain God, use God, monopolize God, and brand every revival under our banner. But worse we have believed revival to be one thing based on old seasons when it now looks completely different. There will be no experts beyond this point —only novices at the feet of Jesus. Those sitting on lofty thrones of ambition and milestones will find their structures collapsing. We can no longer build our lives around museums of the past. We must fix our gaze on the future and where God is leading us. A NEW IDENTITY This is a season where God is redefining how we see ourselves in Christ. Over the last four years, God’s people have seen themselves in such a small light. We’ve underestimated who we are in Him, and God is now reinventing us. He’s reminding us of who we are. God is calling us to pull out the stones of remembrance. He’s saying: “Remember where you’ve been. Remember what I’ve brought you through. Now look ahead to where you’re going.” This is the dawn of a new day, a new beginning. We are shifting from survival mentality and wilderness thinking into a place of thriving. We are rediscovering what it means to live with inheritance. We’re returning to sonship and being fathered by God in ways we’ve lost sight of. We’re returning to the BURNING of the original call and fire in our bellies that sent us out. The old map is the new map I hear the lord saying. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION This is an hour of deliverance—not just from old methods and traditions but also from the things we’ve normalized. We’ve normalized mental health struggles, depression, and dysphoria. We’ve coddled demons and called it loving or comforting. Now, God is addressing these areas where the church has fallen for other lovers. He’s confronting the lies we’ve believed about ourselves and about Him. As we step into this new day, it will be both confronting and freeing. It’s the tension of saying: “Thank God that season is over!” But also: “Oh no, it’s time to put my big boy pants on.” Yes, this change requires greater maturity and responsibility. THE CICADA STUCK ON THE TREE As I shared that small word I had a glimpse of a childhood memory. Of a favorite tree I used to climb that regularly had hundreds of cicada shells on it. I knew the lord was speaking to me about the church. You see, we have talked for years about the new era, the crossing over, the new wineskin, and the changing of the guard in the church. We have said statements like “The age of empires is over, and the days of family have begun.” But what does that mean and what is the cicada? The cicada is the church and the shell is the church coming out of an old and outdated way. We have been in a season of grace to transition out but now it’s time to leave it in the tree. Let it die. And finally come back to the original plan. Why because Acts 2 is upon us! We are coming back, full circle to Gods first church and shedding off the layers of man. HUMILITY AND AWAKENING Right now many trying to sustain the old regime are growing weary. They’ll soon realize it’s time to lay down their hats and surrender at His feet. Even those who have been worker bees for the old hive are feeling the pull of this awakening. Blindfolds are coming off en masse. There will be a brief coup—a deviant sect claiming to be the new thing but rooted in humanism and man’s wisdom. They will reject the call to humility. For a while, it may seem to divide prophetic voices. But once the fresh move of God crashes upon the earth, even these will repent and surrender. This move will humble the proud, and brokenness will bring deliverance to the rebellious. We will witness thousands running to the altar to exchange their achievements for a glimpse of His face—the very thing they started out pursuing. ALL FOR HIM What we thought was the kingdom is being redefined. What we thought was Jesus is being made clear. All false gospels are being exposed. In this moment, the Father is delivering us from religion and our own ambitions. He is aligning our calling with His purposes. He is becoming our everything. And I don’t know about you, but I can’t do things the same anymore. It’s no longer a time to fear man, rely on common sense, or prioritize rationale. We must move where He is moving—at all costs. DIAGNOSING THE SEASON The change is in the air. You can feel it. It’s as if the spiritual temperature around you has shifted—something is different, and you can’t ignore it. Here are some practical indicators of a season change: You sense an internal shift. Your desires and appetites have changed. What once satisfied you no longer feels relevant, and you find yourself longing for something new, something deeper. You feel like you can’t go back, even if you tried. The door to the old season has been shut, and there’s no way to reopen it. God is making it clear that what was behind you is no longer an option. There’s an urgency or longing that wasn’t there yesterday. Perhaps you feel a fresh sense of expectancy stirring in your spirit—like the ground beneath you is about to move, and you need to be ready to act. You can feel the weight of the shift. Even if you can’t fully articulate it, you know that the path ahead is uncharted, and God is inviting you to trust Him in a new way. Take time to tune into what the Holy Spirit is saying in this moment. Ask yourself, “What is He calling me to leave behind? What is He drawing me toward? What doors are opening, and which ones have closed?” This is not a time to resist the shift—it’s a time to step into it with faith and courage. God is moving, and He’s calling you to move with Him. PIONEERING A NEW PATH And we have entered a season of fresh pioneering. The old ways of advancing the kingdom will no longer work because God is leading us into uncharted territory. We can’t rely on formulas, traditions, or comfort zones. We must embrace the new path God is carving out before us. This requires us to step out in faith, even when we don’t have all the answers. Pioneering isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about trusting the One who goes before us. Just as the Israelites had to follow the Ark of the Covenant into the unknown, we must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and move where He leads. Pioneers it’s time again ti create pathways for others to follow. This is your moment to rise. THE CHARGE TO RENEGADES AND THE NEW DAY SCRIBES And just as we need pioneers, we need untamed renegades and new day scribes and prophets to write the introduction to this new chapter and lead us forward. This is not a time for polished perfection or cookie-cutter ministry. This is a time for wild obedience, raw passion, and unrelenting faith. Renegades, the body of Christ needs your courage. You were made to confront the giants in the land and tear down the altars of compromise. Your boldness will inspire others to rise up and take their place in this new era. Scribes and prophets, your words will ignite fires of revival. Pick up your pens. Open your mouths. The Spirit of God is ready to pour out fresh revelation through you. This generation needs your voice to declare the truths of heaven. Write the blueprints. Prophesy the new path. Lead the charge. We need your untamed hearts to step into this season unafraid of man’s opinions. We need your voices to call the church back to purity and intimacy with Jesus. This is your commissioning moment. I feel to say this - the fresh permission of heaven is upon you! Go where no one else will go. Say what no one else will say. Build what no one else will build. The world is waiting. The church is waiting. Heaven is watching. Let’s turn the page together. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.” Exodus 14:15 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.” Isaiah 54:2-3 

A TIME OF DIVISION & DECISION

By Nate Johnston • November 19, 2024
On Sunday, the 17th of November 2024, I had a vision of a field being harvested by a massive harvester. As I got closer to the field, I could see that over half of it was not full of wheat but full of weeds. And I said, “Lord, what is this? What are we looking at?” Knowing already, I realized I was seeing the tares among the wheat. I began to feel discouraged that there were actually so many weeds. This isn’t the great harvest that I believed I would see in my lifetime. And the Lord said to me, “No, this is the harvest before the harvest. This is the time of division that brings repentance and a decision for the body of Christ, so that the next harvest we step into will be the great harvest that was prophesied.” It was then that I saw the harvesting machine crush down the weeds into the soil. And then I felt like the Lord was saying, “But this will be one of the most fruitful times, because the weeds that have been working against the wheat all this time will now be used as fertilizer for the harvest.” This is not a time to fear as things suddenly feel more divided, because it’s not a time of polarizing or dividing the church but of bringing those who have not been bearing fruit—and who have been listening to the voice of the enemy—into a time of great decision. “Will they choose Me, or will they choose man? Will they follow Jesus, or will they follow another version of Jesus?” I heard Him say. Friends, I believe that right now we can either look at the division around us on the earth as something negative, or we can see it as part of a harvest that is leading and pointing us to the greater harvest that has been prophesied. It’s not a time to get discouraged or to hang up our tools. It’s not a time to stop speaking or to stop forging ahead. It’s actually a time to celebrate and get ready because God is leading us toward the great harvest. We’re going to see an incredible reaping of souls in the days to come. I truly believe this is the time where the Lord is saying, “Get the barn ready. Get the barn ready for what I’m about to pour out!” Don’t look to the critics or the naysayers. Don’t look to those who are prophesying doom and gloom, because God is not done with America, and He’s not done with the nations. For while there will be great tension and clashing of ideals and kingdoms, this will be the shaking that shakes the church awake and the right way up! Acts 2 is already upon us and our best days are ahead. 

BEYOND THIS POINT EXPECT DIFFERENT

By Nate Johnston • November 20, 2024
A few days ago, I shared a few thoughts I had randomly posted on social media about how things were going to look different in the days ahead. They bubbled out of my spirit because it just felt overwhelmingly obvious and apparent that there had been a shift. But I felt I needed to give a little more language to this. Now that we are here, I can see how the last four years have been leading us to this very point. Maybe even the last 7 years too. While this word is not political in nature—and regardless of where you stand—it has to be said - the recent election was a major tectonic shift, not only for the United States but for the world. It was that significant. A marker moment. In the spirit, I could see it—a major eruption in the deep that ignited thousands more around the world. I knew right then and there that things were never going to be the same again. It’s crazy how one event can spark so many others, but that’s exactly what it felt like. The world I knew and the life I knew before that day were going to be different. It’s like when 9/11 happened. The world changed in a moment. And in the same way—except positively—this one event converged with the timing of heaven, where God was unleashing something upon the earth. WELCOME TO THE NEW DAWN I believe we are at the dawn of a new day in the body of Christ. But a change that I believe is going to challenge us all deeply. It’s going to challenge us to abandon the survival mentality we’ve grown used to over the years. Suddenly, a door has opened and we are on the other side of something. Soon we will see that the battles of yesterday will fade away as we discover we are no longer in that valley we have camped in for years. We will no longer wrestle with many of the battles that defined the previous season. We may no longer deal with constant red tape and bureaucracy, delays, hope deferred, constant difficulties, or relentless warfare over simple things. But it’s not that there are no battles anymore—it’s just that the nature of the battle has shifted. When Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, the battle didn’t stop—it changed form. In the wilderness, their struggles were rooted in the harsh environment, discouragement, disappointment, and the mindset of slavery in Egypt. But as soon as they entered the Promised Land, they were surrounded by incredible wealth, resources, and food. They no longer faced the wilderness battles they once did. Instead, they faced new giants in the land. The battle shifted from mental and emotional challenges to an offensive conquest to take territory and evict its inhabitants. After years in the wilderness the Israelites had to learn to wield their sword again and fight with authority. But to effectively wage war in their new season, they had to believe they were powerful and walk in their authority. I believe that’s where we are right now - a season of governmental occupation. The things we’ve been contending for and persisting in may no longer be relevant. We’re shifting into an entirely new playing field of kingdom conquest. And if you are wondering what the next chapter looks like this is what I see. Battles and dead giants. Challenges and great victories. The stakes have gone up but you and I were born for this. It’s going to cause the spiritually dead to come alive and run into their destiny! Beyond this moment, the body of Christ is stepping into something radically different and we need new eyes to see it so we don’t fall back into the death of routine. THE WINESKIN IS CHANGING For years we have known that the old, tattered wineskin we’ve held onto for so long is no longer effective. It cannot sustain the move of God starting to crash on our shores. In fact, when God shows up our current wineskin will seem embarrassing if we are still holding it. Many will see that they haven’t been ready. We’ve been trying to contain God, use God, monopolize God, and brand every revival under our banner. But worse we have believed revival to be one thing based on old seasons when it now looks completely different. There will be no experts beyond this point —only novices at the feet of Jesus. Those sitting on lofty thrones of ambition and milestones will find their structures collapsing. We can no longer build our lives around museums of the past. We must fix our gaze on the future and where God is leading us. A NEW IDENTITY This is a season where God is redefining how we see ourselves in Christ. Over the last four years, God’s people have seen themselves in such a small light. We’ve underestimated who we are in Him, and God is now reinventing us. He’s reminding us of who we are. God is calling us to pull out the stones of remembrance. He’s saying: “Remember where you’ve been. Remember what I’ve brought you through. Now look ahead to where you’re going.” This is the dawn of a new day, a new beginning. We are shifting from survival mentality and wilderness thinking into a place of thriving. We are rediscovering what it means to live with inheritance. We’re returning to sonship and being fathered by God in ways we’ve lost sight of. We’re returning to the BURNING of the original call and fire in our bellies that sent us out. The old map is the new map I hear the lord saying. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION This is an hour of deliverance—not just from old methods and traditions but also from the things we’ve normalized. We’ve normalized mental health struggles, depression, and dysphoria. We’ve coddled demons and called it loving or comforting. Now, God is addressing these areas where the church has fallen for other lovers. He’s confronting the lies we’ve believed about ourselves and about Him. As we step into this new day, it will be both confronting and freeing. It’s the tension of saying: “Thank God that season is over!” But also: “Oh no, it’s time to put my big boy pants on.” Yes, this change requires greater maturity and responsibility. THE CICADA STUCK ON THE TREE As I shared that small word I had a glimpse of a childhood memory. Of a favorite tree I used to climb that regularly had hundreds of cicada shells on it. I knew the lord was speaking to me about the church. You see, we have talked for years about the new era, the crossing over, the new wineskin, and the changing of the guard in the church. We have said statements like “The age of empires is over, and the days of family have begun.” But what does that mean and what is the cicada? The cicada is the church and the shell is the church coming out of an old and outdated way. We have been in a season of grace to transition out but now it’s time to leave it in the tree. Let it die. And finally come back to the original plan. Why because Acts 2 is upon us! We are coming back, full circle to Gods first church and shedding off the layers of man. HUMILITY AND AWAKENING Right now many trying to sustain the old regime are growing weary. They’ll soon realize it’s time to lay down their hats and surrender at His feet. Even those who have been worker bees for the old hive are feeling the pull of this awakening. Blindfolds are coming off en masse. There will be a brief coup—a deviant sect claiming to be the new thing but rooted in humanism and man’s wisdom. They will reject the call to humility. For a while, it may seem to divide prophetic voices. But once the fresh move of God crashes upon the earth, even these will repent and surrender. This move will humble the proud, and brokenness will bring deliverance to the rebellious. We will witness thousands running to the altar to exchange their achievements for a glimpse of His face—the very thing they started out pursuing. ALL FOR HIM What we thought was the kingdom is being redefined. What we thought was Jesus is being made clear. All false gospels are being exposed. In this moment, the Father is delivering us from religion and our own ambitions. He is aligning our calling with His purposes. He is becoming our everything. And I don’t know about you, but I can’t do things the same anymore. It’s no longer a time to fear man, rely on common sense, or prioritize rationale. We must move where He is moving—at all costs. DIAGNOSING THE SEASON The change is in the air. You can feel it. It’s as if the spiritual temperature around you has shifted—something is different, and you can’t ignore it. Here are some practical indicators of a season change: You sense an internal shift. Your desires and appetites have changed. What once satisfied you no longer feels relevant, and you find yourself longing for something new, something deeper. You feel like you can’t go back, even if you tried. The door to the old season has been shut, and there’s no way to reopen it. God is making it clear that what was behind you is no longer an option. There’s an urgency or longing that wasn’t there yesterday. Perhaps you feel a fresh sense of expectancy stirring in your spirit—like the ground beneath you is about to move, and you need to be ready to act. You can feel the weight of the shift. Even if you can’t fully articulate it, you know that the path ahead is uncharted, and God is inviting you to trust Him in a new way. Take time to tune into what the Holy Spirit is saying in this moment. Ask yourself, “What is He calling me to leave behind? What is He drawing me toward? What doors are opening, and which ones have closed?” This is not a time to resist the shift—it’s a time to step into it with faith and courage. God is moving, and He’s calling you to move with Him. PIONEERING A NEW PATH And we have entered a season of fresh pioneering. The old ways of advancing the kingdom will no longer work because God is leading us into uncharted territory. We can’t rely on formulas, traditions, or comfort zones. We must embrace the new path God is carving out before us. This requires us to step out in faith, even when we don’t have all the answers. Pioneering isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about trusting the One who goes before us. Just as the Israelites had to follow the Ark of the Covenant into the unknown, we must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and move where He leads. Pioneers it’s time again ti create pathways for others to follow. This is your moment to rise. THE CHARGE TO RENEGADES AND THE NEW DAY SCRIBES And just as we need pioneers, we need untamed renegades and new day scribes and prophets to write the introduction to this new chapter and lead us forward. This is not a time for polished perfection or cookie-cutter ministry. This is a time for wild obedience, raw passion, and unrelenting faith. Renegades, the body of Christ needs your courage. You were made to confront the giants in the land and tear down the altars of compromise. Your boldness will inspire others to rise up and take their place in this new era. Scribes and prophets, your words will ignite fires of revival. Pick up your pens. Open your mouths. The Spirit of God is ready to pour out fresh revelation through you. This generation needs your voice to declare the truths of heaven. Write the blueprints. Prophesy the new path. Lead the charge. We need your untamed hearts to step into this season unafraid of man’s opinions. We need your voices to call the church back to purity and intimacy with Jesus. This is your commissioning moment. I feel to say this - the fresh permission of heaven is upon you! Go where no one else will go. Say what no one else will say. Build what no one else will build. The world is waiting. The church is waiting. Heaven is watching. Let’s turn the page together. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.” Exodus 14:15 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.” Isaiah 54:2-3 

A TIME OF DIVISION & DECISION

As I got closer to the field, I could see that over half of it was not full of wheat but full of weeds. And I said, “Lord, what is this? What are we looking at?” Knowing already, I realized I was seeing the tares among the wheat. I began to feel discouraged that there were actually so many weeds.
