2024 - THE YEAR OF ASCEND

Nate Johnston

2024 - THE YEAR OF ASCEND

I’ve been asking the Lord since August what our posture should be for 2024. I could sense the holiness around it and the caution not to approach it like any other year. Then, in September, I began to feel a sudden and massive internal shift - it started with a deep discontent, and then I began having nonstop dreams about the same thing - ascending the mountain to be with Jesus.

It’s consumed me for months now. A longing to break away from the norm, from the hustle and bustle and be with Him. What if God was preparing us for something we can only step into by lying down? What if God was leading the church into a season of increase of our authority, breakthrough, and dominion that can only come by stepping into being “seated in Christ in heavenly places”? (Ephesians 2:6)

Bill Johnson says, “There are lovers and workers, and lovers will always get more work done than the workers.”

What if we are entering a Psalms 24 season whereby, ascending the hill of the Lord, we break away from the last remnants of man’s institution and methods and begin to operate from a vantage point of victory we have never known?

What if God was calling us to leave behind the busyness of ministry and enter the priesthood of Samuel once again that, accomplishes so much more?

What if this discontent was a DIVINE INTERRUPTION to reveal the old manna and lead us into the new? This is what is burning in my heart more profound than I can express, and I pray you catch it.

One night recently, I woke up hearing the Lord speak about 2024, and so I want to share what I heard in bullet point form;

A “GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN SEASON”

I woke up hearing the Lord say, “I am breaking you away from the rat race that has worn you down and exhausted you.”
I am leading you away from the rest of the herd not to isolate you but to free you.
For I have been preparing you to close the door on man’s ways and methods that have spread you thin and enter the door of my spirit.
I am leading you into a “going up the mountain season” where you will ascend with me and learn a new rhythm and synergy in my presence.
It will be a season of coming up the mountain, receiving, then returning down the hill and releasing it to the world.
Next year, will you give yourself more to the secret place than the public space?
Will you choose the carpet over stages?
Will you come and be poured into more than you pour out?
Will you lay down your ambitions and ideas and trade them for mine?
Will you not rush the special moments that come?
Will you not prostitute the revelation I give you?
For up the mountain, I will give you new eyes and a new way of seeing.
I will give you a heart after my own heart, and you will feel what I feel.
And you will move in step with me instead of against me.
But be prepared because this posture will ruin your plans and make you look lazy and foolish, for while others are choosing the hamster wheel, you will choose to sit at my feet.
It will sometimes feel counter-productive, but I will accomplish far more through you as you choose to ascend.
And from the mountain, I will reveal my heart and plans to you and invite you into them for the days to come.

BREAKING NEW GROUND

Will you break new ground with me?
Will you choose what I am doing other than what the masses are calling “kingdom?”
Will you do it my way?
Will you build what looks foolish to the wise for a season?
Will you speak the language I give you even when most don’t understand?
Are you okay with confronting religious norms and “stuck in the mud” ways even if people disassociate from you?
Will you leave the areas and roles keeping you in a rut?
Will you speak what I ask you to speak, even if it makes you look strange, arrogant, or undignified?
Will you rebuild my temple, my people, my fallen altar? (2 Chronicles 24)
Will you prioritize my presence and build a place for me to come? (Acts 7:49

LIVING ABOVE THE SNAKE LINE

You have spent the last three years fighting in the trenches, but you can’t do that any longer.
My church has been lost in the swirl of culture, battling with their hands and intellect instead of my Spirit.
Second heaven battles have worn you down because I never called you to battle there. Come up higher and learn to wage war from the mountain!
You have taken hits you didn’t need to take and been wounded over and over by engaging in fights I never called you to.
You have picked fights and thrown stones at the principalities mine to take down!
It’s by being seated in ME in heavenly places that you are victorious.
It’s through the finished work of the cross and my blood that you are undefeatable.
So, in this season, I am teaching you how to come up higher where nothing can touch you.
You will ascend above the warfare you have been facing daily for years.
You will ascend above the chatter and witchcraft and no longer hear the voices or be affected by their curses.
Yes, you will ascend above the snake line where you have been battling these assignments endlessly for years.
For it’s time to get back your air superiority and rise above the enemy’s games.
And you will wage war effectively and no longer be disabled by the enemy.

PURE HANDS ADVANCE THE KINGDOM

And as you ascend the hill, you will soon find that all that stuck to you in the past season will come unstuck.
You will find that all that was attached to you will be detached.
You will begin to feel a freedom you haven’t felt in years as I remove the bondage from your shoulders.
The fatness and anointing will break all yokes.
Yes, as you ascend, I will deliver you, heal you, and purify you.
All bitterness in your heart and flies in the ointment will be removed.
I am cleaning the hands of my bride so they can come up and out of the pit they have camped in for far too long.
And all baals will be purged from their lips.
For I am done with hearing mixture from the pulpit and seeing my bride celebrating the compromise of culture.
This season, I am purifying and delivering my church so they will be, again, set apart unto me.
In 2024, there will be an anointing to distinguish good from evil, and they will become apparent to those who ascend.
I will expose the enemy's plans on the world stage and call my ascended ones to counteract them.
I will expose the hands of the wicked and thwart the plans of the crafty so their plans achieve no success.

EVEN MORE SET APART

For In this season, I am setting you even more apart.
This doesn’t mean I am isolating you further or leading you into a lonely season. Still, you will notice that I intentionally separate you from those unwilling to ascend.
You will notice this quickly, for I am a jealous and protective God, and I don’t want you continuing to cast your pearls and have your heart trampled on by people who aren’t for you.
This is why I have been leading you away from the pack.
I have been putting a distaste in your mouth for the appetite of the elites and Saul’s.
I have been giving you discernment to see where people have been in bed with Jezebel and choosing divination over what can only be acquired by intimacy with me.
Your eyes will be opened even more as you ascend.
But I am leading you to a company that are not just friends but covenant family.
And I will knit your hearts together because you have chosen me above the masses.

THE ALTARS OF DECISION & THE CHANGE OF THE GUARD

For 2024 will be a year where there will be a changing of the guard that will be public, but it will first start with the testing of hearts and the crossroads of decision.
For I am releasing my church into a time of decision - will they ascend, or will they stay in a multitude of noise?
Will they come up higher or stay in their momentary comforts?
Will they chase their kingdom or mine?
Will they pursue me and my word or the affections of people and their shaky foundations?
Will they leave the hustle and enter my rest?
Will they untie from the tainted and let go of what is evil?
Will they choose my altar of the altar of Baal?
The lure of the world is increasing, but I am calling my church to draw a line in the sand and surrender all idols at the altar.
The change of the guard will be a shock for many, for I am not speaking of a change of assignments but the demotion of the unfaithful and the promotion of the faithful that will come in mid to late 2024.
For I shall give my glory to those who will steward it well.

DOORWAYS OF GLORY & TRANSFIGURATION

“Lift your heads, oh you gates, swing wide you after lasting doors!”
In this hour, I am causing my people to LIFT THEIR HEADS!
I am bringing their gaze UP and back onto me, for instead, their gaze has been on the problem.
They have been looking down and inward instead of up and OUT.
But I am now breaking the hope deferred and heaviness that has been resting on my people, keeping them soul sick and twisted inside.
They have been disabled and fractured, but I am leading them into a season of chiropractic realignment of soul.
And your heart will come back alive again.
And you will leave the place of deep brokenness and survival weariness.
So watch now as you lift your head, for you will see my glory rest upon you and rearrange inside you to a degree that will transfigure you.
People will be able to tangibly see my glory upon your life, and they will say, “Weren’t they broken down and burnt out?”
But my glory will turn you into a new being.
It will revive you and ressurect you.
And as my glory comes upon your life, you will become a double doorway for my double glory to be released upon the earth.
“Swing wide, you heavenly gates, and let the King of Glory in!”
And my Glory will break off the fear and torment chasing you.
And my Glory will unlock your voice.
And my glory will unleash a whole new realm of visitation, revelation, and innovation.
And my glory will wrap you up like a blanket, and you will finally step into your odyssey for the kingdom.

LIVING ABOVE THE STORMS & RESTFUL INCREASE

My bride, I am calling you to live above the storms!
Storms are only increasing on the earth, but you are called not to be tossed around with them but to live safely above them.
This is why you must step out of the battlefield of the second heavens and come up to this higher vantage point.
I am leading you into a season where the tension will become more significant.
For you will see the hand of the enemy and have to choose to stay seated in me so you can correctly navigate and discern the hour.
For in the midst of chaos, I have ordained for you to flourish.
In the midst of crisis, I will cause you to remain safe and untouched.
I have ordained for you to advance and increase in a time when it doesn’t make sense for you to.
For you are not tethered to man’s system but to my kingdom.
I am a problem-solving God, and as you rest in me, I will protect you from messes, lead you around pits and traps, and hide you under my wings.
I have not designed for you to live swayed by the storms of the world but to still them.
And so, In this season, I am calling you to a greater level of faith and multiplication, which you will need to ascend to see what I see and expand your vision and path accordingly.
And I will give you wisdom to know where to walk and what to do.
I will give you dreams and revelation to help you grow and multiply when it doesn’t make sense to.
And you will be a marker and a sign for those who have lost their altitude and faith in me.
You will be a sign and wonder as they see you settled and stable during increased shaking.
You will step out of RECESSION and into RECOMPENSE!
And you will finally see what has been locked up and released to you.
You will finally see that which has been reserved for this hour given into your hands.
And you will not only birth, but you will have multiple births to make up for the years the locust ate.

LIFT UP YOUR HEADS YOU GATES!

It’s time for my people to be conduits of my glory!
The days of the glory-less church are over, and this season, I am revealing my bright, shining church that will light up the darkness!
In this era, my church will no longer be the lukewarm hiding my glory under a basket but will introduce me to a world desperate for my power!
So lift your heads and swing wide your doors and let me in!
And my glory will reveal what is hidden and expose the enemy's plans.
And my glory will purify what is unclean and fix what is broken.
And my glory will reconnect what has been disconnected.
And my glory will take back what has been stolen.
All the gold and is mine, and the silver is mine, says the Lord, and I shall take back the finance mountain.
And I shall take back the government mountain and evict the imposters.
And I shall take back all the mountains that now stand menacing before you.
So it’s time to ascend, my bride, and as you ascend the mountain, you will take back the mountains!

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

YOU ARE TAKING BACK GROUND!

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!

THE BANDAID IS COMING OFF! WE ARE AT A GENERATIONAL DELIVERANCE THRESHOLD

By Nate Johnston • July 1, 2025

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.

YOU ARE TAKING BACK GROUND!

THE BANDAID IS COMING OFF! WE ARE AT A GENERATIONAL DELIVERANCE THRESHOLD

FOR THOSE IN THE 11TH HOUR

By Nate Johnston • June 30, 2025

(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.

I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF RAIN!

By Nate Johnston • June 27, 2025

I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!
