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 July 7, 2025
Ok, this is a word for those who have been dealing with years of narcissistic robbery.. One of the most pervasive demonic assignments I’ve ever witnessed in my own life and in the lives of many believers is the Jezebelic assignment. It’s been normalized across the body of Christ and in the world, often labeled as narcissism or seen only as a psychological disorder, rather than a spiritually rooted one. Because of this, people don’t know how to discern it, confront it, or evict it. It has become more than a spiritual stronghold. It’s become a culture. A way of living, responding, and relating that is deeply destructive. I grew up in this environment, and I would say 90% of the body of Christ has, too. Culture enforces it. Our world, in many ways, is systemically narcissistic. It has caused deep bondage and emotional wounds, even manifesting as mental and physical illness over time. Last week, as I was sharing prophetic words, going live, and praying over people, we saw many healings break out, especially last Thursday night on our Vision Live. I’m still in awe of what God did. But as I was praying and asking the Lord how He wanted me to address the Jezebelic element, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw a garden that looked completely dead. Roses that had once bloomed were now black, shriveled, and decayed. The whole garden was poisoned. In the middle of it was a deep pit, and out of that pit grew a short, ugly tree. Its roots spread underneath the entire garden. It reminded me of The Secret Garden, a movie I loved as a child. I knew immediately that the dream was from the Lord. He was showing me how the Jezebelic spirit has poisoned the gardens of many believers. It’s been at the center of our spiritual lives, hidden beneath the surface. We’ve tried to tend the garden around it, but we’ve never dealt with the root. Last week, I spoke about catching the foxes from Song of Songs. We manage our pain around this spirit, but now God is saying: Enough is enough. I’m pulling it out. As I continued to pray, the Lord brought me to the story of Naboth’s vineyard in 1 Kings 21. In this passage, Jezebel conspired to steal Naboth’s inheritance so she could give it to Ahab. But Naboth refused to sell. His name in Hebrew means “fruits” or “produce” and is closely tied to the idea of prophetic fruitfulness, legacy, and inheritance. In one translation, it represents “prophecies and words” Naboth’s vineyard is symbolic of the prophetic call, the anointing, the promises, and the inheritance God has placed on your life. But the Jezebel spirit is a thief. It will lie, manipulate, gaslight, and even kill to rob you of that vineyard. Just like in my dream, it seeks to plant toxic roots in the very soil that was meant to bear fruit. It poisons what was meant to be pure. This is exactly what has happened to so many believers. You’ve been fighting invisible warfare against something that’s been spiritual all along. And every time you try to confront it, in churches, in relationships, in ministries, you get gaslit. You’re made to feel like the problem, when in fact, the spirit that’s been tolerated is the real issue. But the Lord is saying now: I am taking the root out. I am exposing it, and I am evicting it. That’s why it’s uncomfortable. That’s why everything feels like it’s coming to the surface. That’s why your mind has been under siege. Because a false foundation is being torn out, so a holy one can be laid. Then I heard the Lord say something that hit me deeply, and I believe it will hit your spirit too: “As I uproot this spirit from your life, you will not only be healed in your mind. You will be made whole in your body, your finances, your marriage, your family, and your destiny. I’m not just healing you, I’m reordering your life from beginning to end. I am restarting your prophetic timeline.” Let me say that again: God is restarting your prophetic timeline. Imagine that dead garden in your life, the one you thought was beyond recovery. Now imagine the root being pulled out, light returning, and life beginning to flourish again. That garden represents your prophetic call, your purpose, your destiny, and the words spoken over you. The things that felt delayed, blocked, or stuck will begin to move. Where there’s been no favor, favor will flow. Where doors were shut, doors will now open. You will reclaim your vineyard. God says, “I am reclaiming you. This is a Jubilee moment in your life. I am demanding repayment of the robbery of the Jezebel spirit. Everything stolen must be returned. Your inheritance, your health, your time, your voice, your clarity, your legacy, it’s all being reclaimed. I am giving you back the vineyard that was stolen.” Now let me pray: In the mighty name of Jesus, I command every Jezebelic assignment, every generational stronghold that has taken root in your life, to be uprooted now. Be broken from your heart, your calling, your destiny, and your mind. Be uprooted in Jesus’ name. I decree Jubilee over you. The Jezebel spirit is being overthrown. The vineyard is being reclaimed. Your prophetic garden is coming alive again. The delay is over. Cycles are breaking, and the play button has been hit. Your prophetic timeline starts again today. And finally, I release this charge to you. This moment will require courage. It will require boundaries. You will be called to confront some relationships, environments, and mentalities that have tolerated the spirit God is removing. It’s time to say, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, “ and walk in it. No more compromise. No more confusion. No more being stuck and your destiny on hold. Your vineyard is yours again in Jesus' name!
By Nate Johnston July 4, 2025
This July 4th, I want to prophesy a word of freedom over you, a word that rattles and shakes every demonic assignment trying to oppress you and cling to you, especially in a time where God is calling you to come fully alive again. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 It’s time to be free. Fully free. Not half free. Not three-quarters free. But completely, radically, FREE! It’s no coincidence I’m sharing this on Independence Day, the day that commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by Congress in 1776, announcing separation from Britain, because today, I have an announcement of my own. I declare and prophesy that from this moment forth, the real church will rise up and become independent from the spirit of religion and the kingdom of darkness that’s tried to keep her in bondage and the dark ages, when we are called to be a light in Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you… I believe the enemy is losing ground right now. Those are the exact words I heard the Lord say earlier this year, and again just last week. “The enemy is losing ground!” And while for many it may not look this way, it’s already happening in your life, your family, your city, and even your nation. Most, if not all, of the warfare you’ve been facing isn’t some random occurrence. It’s been targeted. Why? Because God is bringing you into a delivery season. The war you’ve been experiencing is the effect of what God is doing to reclaim you, to set you up, to prepare you for what’s ahead while the enemy’s been doing everything he can to keep you caged. The enemy can see it. That’s why he’s been trying to decrease your borders, push you in from every side, and cause you to slowly retreat over time. But I believe we’re in a season where God is chasing out every single snake in your life not just from last year, or the last five years, but from many years past. He’s been dealing with every area of compromise, poison, sin, addiction, sabotaging mindsets, and the patterns that have robbed you over and over again. Many of us have cried out, “God, I don’t understand what is happening. I don’t understand why so much is coming against me. I don’t understand this warfare.” But it’s simple: The enemy doesn’t want you to step into fullness and wholeness. But God has sent a clear message to the enemy’s camp “He is mine. She is mine. BACK OFF!” Yes, God is reclaiming you and pushing back the darkness. But He’s also going one step further just like He did with Jabez. He is extending your borders. “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:10 Do you see what happened? Healing from pain and expansion! Bondage decreases you but freedom? It enlarges you. Yes, God is chasing out the snakes from your life right now. He’s dealing with the foxes. I believe the enemy is losing ground in physical spaces, emotional spaces, and spiritual spaces. He’s losing ground in your heart and mind, places where you didn’t know how to let go… where secret pain, wounds, trauma, depression, and bondage have long lingered. We are called to be the whole Church. But too many of us have been faking it just to make it. And now God is saying, How can you bring wholeness to the world if you don’t feel whole yourself? No more trying in your own strength. No more quick fixes that don’t deal with the roots. It’s time for REAL no hype freedom! So let me prophesy over you again - It’s time to take back ground. It’s time to chase out the foxes from the vineyard of your heart and life. (Song of Songs 2:15) It’s time to confront the things that have tormented and stalked you, because they are ending in this season. God is bringing you out of a chapter marked by struggle and survival. You are TAKING BACK GROUND in Jesus’ name!

Its roots spread underneath the entire garden. It reminded me of The Secret Garden, a movie I loved as a child. I knew immediately that the dream was from the Lord. He was showing me how the Jezebelic spirit has poisoned the gardens of many believers. It’s been at the center of our spiritual lives, hidden beneath the surface. We’ve tried to tend the garden around it, but we’ve never dealt with the root. Last week, I spoke about catching the foxes from Song of Songs. We manage our pain around this spirit, but now God is saying: Enough is enough. I’m pulling it out. As I continued to pray, the Lord brought me to the story of Naboth’s vineyard in 1 Kings 21. In this passage, Jezebel conspired to steal Naboth’s inheritance so she could give it to Ahab. But Naboth refused to sell. His name in Hebrew means “fruits” or “produce” and is closely tied to the idea of prophetic fruitfulness, legacy, and inheritance. In one translation, it represents “prophecies and words” Naboth’s vineyard is symbolic of the prophetic call, the anointing, the promises, and the inheritance God has placed on your life. But the Jezebel spirit is a thief. It will lie, manipulate, gaslight, and even kill to rob you of that vineyard. Just like in my dream, it seeks to plant toxic roots in the very soil that was meant to bear fruit. It poisons what was meant to be pure. This is exactly what has happened to so many believers. You’ve been fighting invisible warfare against something that’s been spiritual all along. And every time you try to confront it, in churches, in relationships, in ministries, you get gaslit. You’re made to feel like the problem, when in fact, the spirit that’s been tolerated is the real issue. But the Lord is saying now: I am taking the root out. I am exposing it, and I am evicting it. That’s why it’s uncomfortable. That’s why everything feels like it’s coming to the surface. That’s why your mind has been under siege. Because a false foundation is being torn out, so a holy one can be laid. Then I heard the Lord say something that hit me deeply, and I believe it will hit your spirit too: “As I uproot this spirit from your life, you will not only be healed in your mind. You will be made whole in your body, your finances, your marriage, your family, and your destiny. I’m not just healing you, I’m reordering your life from beginning to end. I am restarting your prophetic timeline.” Let me say that again: God is restarting your prophetic timeline. Imagine that dead garden in your life, the one you thought was beyond recovery. Now imagine the root being pulled out, light returning, and life beginning to flourish again. That garden represents your prophetic call, your purpose, your destiny, and the words spoken over you. The things that felt delayed, blocked, or stuck will begin to move. Where there’s been no favor, favor will flow. Where doors were shut, doors will now open. You will reclaim your vineyard. God says, “I am reclaiming you. This is a Jubilee moment in your life. I am demanding repayment of the robbery of the Jezebel spirit. Everything stolen must be returned. Your inheritance, your health, your time, your voice, your clarity, your legacy, it’s all being reclaimed. I am giving you back the vineyard that was stolen.” Now let me pray: In the mighty name of Jesus, I command every Jezebelic assignment, every generational stronghold that has taken root in your life, to be uprooted now. Be broken from your heart, your calling, your destiny, and your mind. Be uprooted in Jesus’ name. I decree Jubilee over you. The Jezebel spirit is being overthrown. The vineyard is being reclaimed. Your prophetic garden is coming alive again. The delay is over. Cycles are breaking, and the play button has been hit. Your prophetic timeline starts again today. And finally, I release this charge to you. This moment will require courage. It will require boundaries. You will be called to confront some relationships, environments, and mentalities that have tolerated the spirit God is removing. It’s time to say, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, “ and walk in it. No more compromise. No more confusion. No more being stuck and your destiny on hold. Your vineyard is yours again in Jesus' name!

This July 4th, I want to prophesy a word of freedom over you, a word that rattles and shakes every demonic assignment trying to oppress you and cling to you, especially in a time where God is calling you to come fully alive again. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 It’s time to be free. Fully free. Not half free. Not three-quarters free. But completely, radically, FREE! It’s no coincidence I’m sharing this on Independence Day, the day that commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by Congress in 1776, announcing separation from Britain, because today, I have an announcement of my own. I declare and prophesy that from this moment forth, the real church will rise up and become independent from the spirit of religion and the kingdom of darkness that’s tried to keep her in bondage and the dark ages, when we are called to be a light in Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you… I believe the enemy is losing ground right now. Those are the exact words I heard the Lord say earlier this year, and again just last week. “The enemy is losing ground!” And while for many it may not look this way, it’s already happening in your life, your family, your city, and even your nation. Most, if not all, of the warfare you’ve been facing isn’t some random occurrence. It’s been targeted. Why? Because God is bringing you into a delivery season. The war you’ve been experiencing is the effect of what God is doing to reclaim you, to set you up, to prepare you for what’s ahead while the enemy’s been doing everything he can to keep you caged. The enemy can see it. That’s why he’s been trying to decrease your borders, push you in from every side, and cause you to slowly retreat over time. But I believe we’re in a season where God is chasing out every single snake in your life not just from last year, or the last five years, but from many years past. He’s been dealing with every area of compromise, poison, sin, addiction, sabotaging mindsets, and the patterns that have robbed you over and over again. Many of us have cried out, “God, I don’t understand what is happening. I don’t understand why so much is coming against me. I don’t understand this warfare.” But it’s simple: The enemy doesn’t want you to step into fullness and wholeness. But God has sent a clear message to the enemy’s camp “He is mine. She is mine. BACK OFF!” Yes, God is reclaiming you and pushing back the darkness. But He’s also going one step further just like He did with Jabez. He is extending your borders. “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:10 Do you see what happened? Healing from pain and expansion! Bondage decreases you but freedom? It enlarges you. Yes, God is chasing out the snakes from your life right now. He’s dealing with the foxes. I believe the enemy is losing ground in physical spaces, emotional spaces, and spiritual spaces. He’s losing ground in your heart and mind, places where you didn’t know how to let go… where secret pain, wounds, trauma, depression, and bondage have long lingered. We are called to be the whole Church. But too many of us have been faking it just to make it. And now God is saying, How can you bring wholeness to the world if you don’t feel whole yourself? No more trying in your own strength. No more quick fixes that don’t deal with the roots. It’s time for REAL no hype freedom! So let me prophesy over you again - It’s time to take back ground. It’s time to chase out the foxes from the vineyard of your heart and life. (Song of Songs 2:15) It’s time to confront the things that have tormented and stalked you, because they are ending in this season. God is bringing you out of a chapter marked by struggle and survival. You are TAKING BACK GROUND in Jesus’ name!

I have a few prophetic words that I need to release over the next few days that are all different parts of the same prophetic word that is burning in my spirit right now. Now, if you have spent your life waging war against dysfunction and spiritual mess from your upbringing and family, yet still feel like there are blockages and wounded areas in your life, this word is going to really hit home. I want to start with a very personal encounter I had once with God. I was in a season where I was experiencing mental bombardment and some unresolved torment in my mind, and I began really seeking the Lord and asking Him what the root of this issue was in my life. The Lord had been speaking to me for weeks before this encounter, telling me I was about to cross a threshold, another level of freedom and healing. Not just for my own peace and freedom, but because of something I was stepping into in the kingdom that required me to have a greater capacity of freedom and to be whole, not hindered by the things that I was dealing with. And I believe that’s where many of us are right now. Things are coming to the surface. Pain. Mindsets. Your soul in anguish. These are all the signs of this.. So at the height of the torment, I cried out to the Lord, begging Him to set me free. I went to sleep then woke up a few hours later hearing the Lord say, “The Band-Aid’s coming off.” There in the dark of my room, the presence of God swept in like I hadn’t felt in a long time. It enveloped me. I knew instantly the Lord was about to do something, so I said, “Lord, speak to me. What are you doing?” He said, “I want to show you something that’s been hanging over you your whole life, but you’ve not known. And you’ve actually been fighting this particular area of freedom.” “Ouch. What is it, Lord?” The Lord began to speak to me about my childhood and my upbringing. He said, “You’ve dealt with your mother’s side and the healing there, but you’ve never dealt with your father’s side.” You see, my dad left when I was four. He committed adultery, had another family in another city, and he chose them over me. It’s true, I had walked through a lot of healing and freedom from the things connected to my mother’s side, but I never really paid attention to what my father had done and how it had affected me. Exodus 20:5 says “For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations” So what I was experiencing was because I hadn’t dealt with this? The fruit/effects of my father’s sin - pain, adultery, and divorce had been hanging over me my whole life. I had never walked in the same weaknesses as my dad, but yet it was still there as a wound and a stumbling block of sorts in the background. But that doesn’t make sense, right? Aren’t we new creations in Christ? “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Yes, we are. But there was pain and unforgiveness and things there that were tethering me to this dysfunction, tethering me to the fruit of that disobedience. Instantly, I heard the Lord say, “The breaking of covenant brings a curse.” “Wow.” He took me to Genesis. The breaking of covenant in the garden brought a curse: “To Adam he said, ‘Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, “You must not eat from it,” cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life” Genesis 3:17 But then He led me to Hebrews 12:24; “To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.” He said, “I need you to forgive, renounce, and submit this under the blood.” So I sat there in the dark that night, and I renounced anything that had been trying to carry over into my life: the spirit of rejection, the orphan spirit, the spirit of poverty and lack, and anything perverse that had also come from it. I gave it to the Lord. I covered it in the blood. And I stepped into a level of freedom that has so deeply impacted my life ever since. What am I trying to say? I’m trying to say that right now, we’re in moments, not just one, but major moments where God is bringing massive trajectory changes and shifts, as we lean into these opportunities for deliverance and healing. I’ll be really real and please don’t be offended but let me say this - most of the Church is in bondage. Most of the Church needs deliverance. Most of the Church is struggling with torment and mental illness and yet FEW are saying it and doing anything about it! Hence why I am sharing this with you today. This is one of the epidemics we face in the Body. We know how to walk in the gifts. We know how to do all the things, but we’ve shoved down our soul health, our spiritual health, for the sake of looking good on a Sunday. Marriages are falling apart. Lives are falling apart. What if, right now, God is getting us free and whole so we can be a stable and firm Church, a pure Bride so that we can actually be the healers in this next season? What if this is we the recession of the waves before the tsunami of Gods glory hits and ushers in the harvest? What would happen if we stepped out to be labourers for the harvest, but our foundations were faulty? We would crumble and fall. Do you see the importance of the hour that’s in front of us and why it’s here? A THRESHOLD MOMENT After this encounter, the Lord led me to the passage about Jacob. He was about to cross over the brook Jabbok and wrestle with the angel of the Lord and become Israel, but something else happened first. His brother Esau who he had deceived years earlier, was coming to meet him. Jacob had carried the burden and the pain of that situation his whole life and then, in a moment, God brought it to head before he crossed over. What if we’re in a moment right now where God is bringing generational deliverance to you and me? What if He’s clearing our names and putting the axe to the roots of things we didn’t even realize were trying to hang over us? These things shouldn’t be hanging over us. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word. But we’ve been resisting it. We want to be free but we also want to keep our pain. We want to be whole but we also want to keep our vendettas and our victimhood. We want to be free but we just don’t know how to step out of the habits and dysfunctions we grew up in. But those days are over. God is saying over you today that He wants to bring lasting and full wholeness and freedom to you. If this word resonated with you, I want you to ask the Lord to come and heal you. Ask Him to bring deliverance to those areas of your life, even as you’re reading this. Ask Him to show you the root. In fact, if you are feeling the Holy Spirit working right now, put on a worship track and sit in this for a moment and ask Him, “Show me what I need to uncovenant from.” Right now, God is exposing the roots and showing us what’s been wrong so we can get it fixed. Body of Christ, it’s time to step out of that mixture of covenants and be covenanted to Jesus for the days to come. Pray with me, “Jesus, you are the Lord and Saviour of my life, and right now I un-covenant with anything unholy. I un-covenant with the sins of my father and mother and generations before me. I uncovenant with pain, with victimhood, with witchcraft, divination, and anything in my past. And I covenant with you today. I step into a fresh relationship with you for the sake of me, my wife, my husband, my kids, and my family. I give you permission to guide and lead my life. I step out of the driver’s seat. Come and do what you want to do. Make me whole, in body, in mind, in spirit. In Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you, it’s time to exit generational bondage and enter generational INHERITANCE in Jesus' name! Instead of bondage, you are entering freedom and being yoked only to Jesus. Instead of mental instability, you will have the mind of Christ! Instead of poverty and lack, you will walk in abundance and be a resource to build the Kingdom! Instead of failure and breakdown, you will flourish in everything you do and build healthily! Instead of spending your days battling demons oppressing your mind, you will set others free! The threshold is here!  Get ready for part 2 coming in the next few days.

(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s )  This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.
