5780 - the year of the roar

"This is the transcript from a live prophetic release on October 2nd 2019"

I feel like this is a word of awakening, this is a word of commissioning. I feel like this is a word that is going to call the lost home. This is a word that is going to commission sons and daughters. I feel like this is a word of consecration; I also feel like this is a word that is going to shift and align. I really feel like there was a real stirring on the Lord’s heart that needed to be decreed. Have you ever had those moments it feels like where the Lord is bubbling something up on the inside of you? It just feels like the Holy Spirit, His breath, His wind is just wanting to be released forth and I feel like this word was exactly that and I asked, “Lord how do you want me to bring forth this word?” 

There is weight in what the Lord is wanting to release in this hour. Allow this word to minister to you. What I mean by that is allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you where this is not just information but where the Holy Spirit will deeply stir you. I’m praying for the branding of the Holy Ghost to be released. I’m praying that there will be a fire that will be released; the winnowing fork, the separating fire, the holiness fire, the Commissioning fire.

THE NEW SOUND COMING FROM THE WILDERNESS

There’s a new sound; there is a bride arising in power, coming out. People will say, “who is this coming out of the wilderness?” You’re coming out of the wilderness. The Bride is rising and coming out of the wilderness. If there’s only one thing that I prophesied that you get it is this; I declare that THIS IS THE SEASON OF THE ROAR OF THE LORD COMING THROUGH YOU! 

It is the season of the roar of the Lord coming to a bride that is awoken to the new sound that is on the inside of them. I’ve been seeking the Lord about the new Jewish year 5780 and I feel like what I’m about to share, I want it to be fresh from the printing press of heaven; I want it to be straight from the throne. I want it to be unadulterated, unedited. I want it to be straight from the lips of the Father, straight from the floor of the throne room so Lord I say have your way and I just ask that every single person will be branded; that they won’t just hear information that they will be such a deep branding and burning that takes place in them God in Jesus mighty name; that there will be a power that will be released and that there is a transformation that is released in Jesus mighty name. Lord I pray that there are moves that are ignited and awakened and that the roar on the inside of them is awakened in Jesus mighty name. You are dormant no more! There’s a sound that is coming forth because it’s time for your voice to arise. Who is this coming out of the wilderness? I prophesy again that you are coming out of the wilderness! Whatever season you have been through, whatever transition you have walked through, whatever it has looked like for you; I decree, I prophesy it that you’re coming out of the wilderness and you’re coming out with a sound and a mighty rushing voice that is going to shift and change things in its wake in Jesus mighty name.

THE DECREE MUST GO OUT! 

There has never been a time in the earth that God’s people are needed to arise. This is a game changing season; this is a change of the guard, the turning of seasons and nations; the shaking of the church that causes us to step up to the plate. See it looks like we’re surrounded in the natural by chaos and darkness but what God has given us is the remedy. Think about Ezekiel, He stood in the valley of dry bones and God said to him, “prophesy Ezekiel to these bones; say to these dry bones, “hear the word of the Lord” and they came to life . This is the season that the decree must go out. Just as God spoke the earth into being, He is right now commissioning those that are created in his likeness and also carry His sound inside; It’s his DNA. When I speak, when you speak, it’s His very sound that is released out of you. His frequency as it is released through you, it smashes obstacles like rocks, it thunders and brings the earth into order. It roars and establishes justice, it resounds and realigns, re-orders and brings forth and produces in your life. It’s the sound of creation inside of you stirring and it’s the sound of creation waiting to burst forth to restore what has been broken down and robbed and stolen. There’s an awakening of that sound even right now being released over you. 

Some may be saying “I don’t even know what my sound is, it has been so long.” I just declare, “awaken, awaken oh sound. The roar inside of you must be awoken. You’re coming out of the wilderness with a new song and a new cry. It’s going to smash every obstacle and tear down walls. Everything that keeps taunting us. Just like David - he came out of the wilderness with the sound of a sling roaring in the air, and he took down w giant. That’s you and you’re coming out of the wilderness. You may have only seen things breaking around you and surrounding you and the warfare, but it has an expiry date. You can’t look at it like it’s going to last forever; it’s temporal. 

You’re coming out of the wilderness. 

A VOICE LIKE THUNDER

The church is coming into a season of power through the rising of a bride with a voice like thunder and lightning because we sound like our Daddy, we sound like the lion of the tribe of Judah. Oh, ride up Judah and get back your sound, get back your voice, get back your mighty decree. It’s time for you to awaken again. It’s a redemption plan. 

Romans 8:19 says “the entire universe is standing on tip toe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters for against His will, the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin but now with eager expectation all creation longs for freedom from slavery to experience the freedom coming to us as God’s children”

That’s what is happening right now in the earth.

THE ROAR COMING TO THE SURFACE

I asked the Lord about 5780 and the main message of this word that the Lord has been sharing with me is the rising of a mighty bride that is a voice and influence in the earth. This is the year of the roar of God’s people. See, when you think of the roar, you think of God’s roar. You think of the lion of the tribe of Judah but there is something that happens where the roar begins to come through you. It was never meant to be something that was only released from God. It was meant to be a sound that was released through a people, God’s Family, through sons and daughters who know their father’s voice. 

5780, THE PROPHETIC DECREE & THE EXPLOSION OF CREATIVITY

So, I was drawn to the number 80. Now, the number 80 is represented by the number Pey. Now Pey is the shape of a mouth which means to open, to blow, to scatter. It also means edge, like the edge of a sword which is sharp and accurate. This is all representative of action. So Pey is representative of the mouth that speaks and declares. It opens, it blows forth like a trumpet, it scatters enemies, it scatters things that have come against the people of God. It’s sharp, it hits its mark and I believe we’re coming into a time right now where the Church is finding its voice. It’s going to feel like a brand-new day for the church. We’ve known somewhat of what it feels like to have a voice but the world has never taken us seriously and now it’s time that we’ll be known as a voice, a contender and we’ll be a voice that they listen to because they will say, “where is this wisdom coming from? it’s beyond the wisdom that we carry and they’ll see the power that is released through our voices. So, the symbol Pey is actually made with two strokes using the letter Kaph and Yodh. 

UNEARTHING HIDDEN MYSTERIES & NEW BURSTS OF CREATIVITY

Kaph means a container, a symbol of a spoon or container and Yodh means a divine spark. Yodh is the spark of creation, the spirit wind needed to initiate and activate the unseen realm and the accessible mysteries of heaven. Yodh is in every single letter so in every sound you make, creation is released, and heaven’s treasures are revealed.

Yodh represents the active power of God that brings what has been hidden into the earth and what is laying dormant into surface; it’s the commissioning breath of God and Kaph is the container or the spoon. The container is the potential or the space needing to be filled. Psalm 81:10 says;

 “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt; open wide your mouth and I will fill it”

God is saying to you right now, “open wide your mouth and I will fill it;” that container and the spoon represents what bends and yields and in this season we have had to yield because it looked like we’re going through Egypt and the lord would say, “no it is your time to yield and let go and as you do I will fill you. I’ll give you what you need to speak and declare to open up the way and tear down the doors that seems to be unopened. You’re going forward and you will not go backwards. You’re going from glory to glory. It’s the power of God being released through his people. 

DELIVERANCE POWER RELEASED & THE RISING OF DELIVERERS

Also, we are in a season of great deliverance for the body of Christ and by deliverance, I mean ‘power’. The word deliverance actually means to turn back, to return and turn back. The body of Christ is turning back, it’s in a season of repentance, coming back to an original value or place; out of the culture of the world, out of the things that stole its gaze and its love and its affection. The Hebrew lexicon number 2020 is the word ‘Hatstsalah’ which means - to strip, to plunder, to deliver and to be delivered. I believe that we are in a time where God is bringing us back to an original value, but He’s also raising up the deliverers. He is raising up those who will shout and decree and release a trumpet sound; a new season and a new way and a new path and will declare, “we have been in Egypt for too long and the wilderness is no longer going to sustain us. We are coming into our Canaan!” We’re going to see the body of Christ enter into its Canaan. You are going to come into your Canaan, and it may be 20 or 30 years that you have been waiting or it may have only been 2 but “you are going to come into your season of promise,” says the Lord.

THE PURITY OF THE VOICE RESTORED & THE NEW PROPHETIC REMNANT

God brings us back to our first love, walking in the garden, hearing your voice. God, I want to be more in love, and I want to hear Your voice, your words, the things that come from Your heart God; I want to live, and man doesn’t live by bread alone but by every word that comes from God. Let us feast and let us just sit and linger in Your presence, Your word God. I feel a stirring in the spirit right now. I feel like the Spirit of God is doing something. It’s like a whirlwind beginning to pick up around your life. It’s the breath and wind of the Spirit of God coming upon the dormant and dead places of your life. It’s the breath of the Spirit of God. It’s like back in Ezekiel when He spoke. It’s the wind of God, The Spirit of God is beginning to be released and is bringing things to life; resurrection life being released right now in Jesus mighty name. 

“There’s a new prophetic remnant arising; the pure ones,” says the lord, “the ones that move in power.” See, the church lost its voice, but I heard the Lord say, “it’s time they got it back,” it’s time you got your voice back. They’ve used it for too long against each other and against the things that they don’t understand, but they are getting it back. We can’t be those prophetic people that live in rejection any longer. We are getting our voice back. 

THE HOT COALS OF COMMISSIONING

There are people that would say, “but I can’t speak, what can I do? What can I say? You want to talk about the year 5780? Moses was 80 years old when God spoke at the burning bush. There’s something that happens when you hear the voice of God; it speaks, it activates something on the inside of you. It brings things to the surface, sometimes; it looks like insecurities. The voice of God ,when He speaks it makes you realize, “I’m meant to sound like that.” When you’ve lost your voice and you hear the voice of the Lord you realize, “I’ve been robbed of my voice.” So many people have felt like that, “in this season I’ve allowed rejection, I’ve allowed hurt. I’ve allowed things to weigh me down, I’ve lost my voice God, Restore my voice God!”

Moses said to God, “what if they don’t believe me? What if they don’t listen to me? Many people have been saying that, what if I lift my voice? What if they don’t listen to me? What if they don’t believe me, What if I have no credibility? Who am I to speak? God said to Moses, “Did I not appear to you? Did I not speak to you? Did I not reveal my voice to you? Do you not know what I sound like?” Moses said, “Lord, I’ve never been eloquent, I’ve never been able to speak,” and in this one sentence God activated something that was dead. He released an anointing that enabled Moses to speak and he said, “go and I’ll help you speak and teach you what to say” and I feel like that is the commissioning of the Lord in this season of the church that God is giving his voice back to and He’s saying, “this is the time that you will speak, now go, I’ll help you and I’ll speak and I’ll give you what you need to say. It’s the commissioning of Jeremiah who said, “God I’m just a youth, I’m no one. Why would you speak to me? Why would you use me God” and God would say, “you’re not a youth.” Maybe you feel unlearned, untrained, you feel like, “what have I got to say?” The Lord would say “I will give you what to say.” It is not about you or your wisdom or your revelation so it’s simply about being a yielded vessel to God. It’s the commissioning season of Isaiah. You feel unworthy, you feel like a sinner and God touched his lips with hot coals and He wrote chapters filled with the prophecies of the coming King. 

THE STEWARDING OF A SOUND THAT CAUSES WOMBS TO LEAP

You don’t even know what God is going to give you to speak and to say. In this season you don’t even know the weight and the depth of what’s going to happen as you release a mighty roar and a mighty sound on the inside of you. You might feel stuck and that there are no options around you but as you begin to release your sound, it doesn’t matter if you don’t see anything immediately changing, as you’re obedient to release as you are here just to say, “God let me be a voice;” even if it’s just in your home. It might just be the songs in the night, it might just be the songs you sing to him, releasing into the atmosphere as you’re talking to children at bed and you’re praying over them and you’re prophesying and speak in destiny. It’s not always words that are spoken from the rooftops or in stadiums or on pulpits, it is the stewarding of a sound; it is the stewarding of the intent and purposes of God that are released through pure people. Prophets only see in part. The people of God are rising up as one united sound. There’s something that happens when you speak; things shift around us, people beginning to get ignited. I believe in this season as you decree, people are going to get pregnant around you. Amos 3:4-8 says this, 

“Does the Lion roar in the thicket when it has no prey? Does it growl when it has caught nothing? So, the Lord does nothing without revealing His plans to His servants, the prophets. The Lion has roared who will not fear, the sovereign Lord has spoken who can but prophesy?” 

See when the roar of the Lord goes forth, it awakens the roar on His people and when the roar goes forth, it awakens a generation called to be a mighty sound and a mighty voice in the earth. Awaken your sound!

THE MISSING FREQUENCIES & THE RESTORATION OF THE OUTCASTS

This time last year, I had this encounter with the Lord where I saw a sound spectrum and I said, “Lord what am I looking at?” He said to me that it was the sound of the bride, but the sound would break and there was something that was missing. There was the full spectrum of sound, but I could only hear from one frequency. I felt the grief on His heart. He said, “who will find them? Who will go for them?” I said, “who Lord” and He said, the forgotten ones.” Just recently, I had a dream which explains what God was showing me in this dream. In this dream, I was walking down this dark street in the city. I stopped at this alley way where I saw all these people and I was speaking, and some were singing but they all carried the same feeling; I felt off. I stopped to listen and I instantly in the dream discerned that this was a prophetic people I was hearing that these were prophets who were hurt; they were rejected; they were burned out prophets; they were bitter; they were in pain and they were prophesying through that pain and they were speaking all types of things that were just not from the heart of God. See, the calling and the mantle was real, but their souls were sick; the heart was sick and as I looked closer, I saw that many had limbs missing off their bodies.

When I woke up from the dream, I said “Lord what have I just seen?” He said, “what you have just seen is a bride without limbs. My bride needs its limbs back. It needs to be whole.” He said to me what He had said a year ago; “who will go for them? Who will find them? Who will raise up the outcast, the rejected and the bitter? Who will bring them home?” We’re leaving in a season where the sons and daughters are coming home. God is awakening them again. God is awakening the forgotten sound. He’s awakening the voices. He’s healing hearts. We’re going to see them come home. 

If you’re bitter, burnt out or rejected or abandoned the Lord is saying, “this is a season that you are coming home,” This is a season where God is restoring you and He’s healing you because you have a voice but you’ve been bitter, you’ve been hurt, you’ve been rejected and forgotten but the Lord says, “you’re coming home” He’s awakened everything that was stolen from you. He’s awakening. 

THE REVEALING OF SONS & DAUGHTERS & THE FRESH MANTLING OF MOTHERS & FATHERS

See, this is a season of the convergence of Malachi 4:5-6 and Romans 8:19 - The earth is longing for the sons and daughters to be revealed but we need the fathers and the mothers to turn their hearts towards the sons and the sons towards the fathers. It’s the convergence of a season of the revealing of the body of Christ in power and authority and the restoration and the rescue of the forgotten remnants. Who will be the ones who will go after the one? Who will be a home for them? They’re coming home. So, mothers and fathers come forth in this season. You’re not done; you have to train the younger ones. Use your sound to raise up the voices, train them up and raise them up.

Recently, I was with a general in the faith. As I was with him, I was taken up into a vision where I saw mothers and fathers, - generals, and they were cheering on a generation that was rising and saying “go, go, go!” and with them, in the cloud of witnesses, were past generals of the faith saying the same thing “go, go, go!” As I came out of the vision, I looked around me; in that moment, I was actually sitting with a group o emerging ones that God was raising up in this hour. I looked back over to this general and I saw a Baton in his hand. See, this is a passing of the baton season. It’s the Elijah throwing the mantle upon the Elisha’s. It’s the double portions season, it’s the multiplication. The mantle that was upon one man, upon one individual or a group or company of individuals is being released over a generation. 

THE FRESH YES COMING OUT OF A DIFFICULT TRANSITION

Who will say yes? I remember when I was 13, I was in a youth service and there was a song that said “Here I am, use me and send me.” This is another season where God is asking, “can I use you? Can I send you? Will you lift your voice? Will you stand to be counted?”

It’s difficult sometimes to imagine being used by God when you have been in a difficult transition where all that you were seeing was ruin around you but that’s the interesting thing about transition; you’re either weighed down by the thing that has been against you or it only reveals to you the destiny that is multiplying in front of you.

Release your roar! I prophesy this right now over you. I also declare this now for the church. Church it’s time to release your roar! You’re coming out of the wilderness, Release your roar! In the name of Jesus, the mighty sound that is on the inside of you come forth in Jesus mighty name! Release your roar. There’s a deep crying out to deep right now; the glory of God is beginning to come. King of Glory release the sound of a generation. We will not be silent anymore because Jezebel had tried to take our sound and make Eunuchs instead of Prophets, Orphans instead of Sons and Daughters but that won’t be the case anymore. You’re releasing a sound of war over the nations. These sons and daughters are coming to their post. The sons and daughters are stepping up to their posts and we’re coming to align, we’re coming to decree; we’re coming to declare and set the captives free; oh yes we’re coming. 

THE RISING SYMPHONY & THE UNLOCKING OF DESTINY OVER PEOPLE & NATIONS 

Can you see us coming? It might only look like a small sound but together we’re a symphony ringing out in the earth. Release your roar! God is just doing heart surgery right now He’s touching your life right now so just yield and say, “yes God.” He’s severing things that have just been holding you captive, mindsets and ties to old things and old seasons. It’s the roar of the Lord that is beginning to come through you.

We say yes to this new year God. I see these divine sparks and it’s the sound and voice of God commissioning over people. Some are for cities and nations some are voices that will be sent into areas of creativity that will unlock and bring the body of Christ forward. I just see that there’s a resurgence and a renaissance season that were stepping into in 2020 of the body of Christ coming into a resurgence of creativity and the innocence that was lost God is saying, “I’m bringing you back to the heart of worship, I’m bringing back a simple song in the night, I’m bringing back your simple cry in the wilderness like David were you just play your guitar in the middle of the night and call out My name and it wasn’t for a purpose or to look like something, you were just singing.” God raise up the David’s in this season, raise up the psalmists that are going to come forth in this season that will break up the way for a mighty outpouring. There’ll be songs that will be song like anthems, there’ll be songs that will be songs that will break through in hard ground; even right now the Lord is releasing new sounds, He’s releasing the words and things that need to be released I just see people being given messages that are like arrows of justice that are going into broken down systems of society and God is given voices. I feel like the Lord is releasing a blessing over homes through the roar of Breakthrough.

THE SOUND OF RESTORATION 

Let me share a few things that the roar does. The roar brings unity, the roar brings healing to marriages and families in relationships, the roar also removes wrong relationships and alignments. The roar restores what has been, it uncovers what has been hidden, it unlocks doors that have been out of reach and restores us back to our original value and our design. So what is God doing through you as you release a roar? You are making earth look like heaven; you’re making your home look like heaven. Husbands, wives, God is asking you to make your home look like heaven through your decree; don’t give up on the promises in this season. This is the time where you need to decree it. This is the time where you need to remember what God said and bring it forth and create into the earth. It’s a season of creativity, it’s your season that your sound is going to go forth, it’s going to tear down and scatter the things that have been trying to come and war against your life and the people of God, against His church. He is going to restore and He’s going to align and He’s going to create He’s going to build. He’s going to transport you from glory to glory. Where you had felt delayed and stuck, it’s going to transport you from one place to another. Release your roar!

THE ACTIVATION OF YOUR SOUND, FILLING EMPTY SEATS, & THE WEIGHTIER ANOINTING

If this word has spoken to you, begin to cry out, “Holy Spirit, release my sound, teach me how. I forgot what it sounds like so remind me what it sounds like when I sound like you God; when I release your voice, when I release your sound, it shows me what it sounds like when I make earth like heaven. There’s a commissioning of the mouth pieces of God, emerging ones, emerging ones come forth! I’m just seeing in the Spirit that there are these positions and roles that the Lord is saying, “I need them filled, the empty seats in my house,” there are empty seats; “step into your rightful places,” says the Lord, “stop dancing on the fringes of your destiny and jump headfirst right into it,” says the Lord. There’s a weightier place that he’s calling you and right now I speak to the prophetic voices, there’s a weightier place that he’s calling you. He’s calling you to the deeper places. He’s calling you to the deeper waters. It’s time to step in to your rightful place. It’s time to step into your zone, says the Lord. The Lord says, “there’re new metrons, there are new regions and nations that I’ve giving you; there are new keys that are going to unlock doors of government and nations. 

You carry strategies that will unlock anything.”  He says, “I have fortified and anointed you. You’re going to break through.” God is raising up those, He’s calling the Zerubabels. Who will carry the signet ring of the Lord and bring the people of the Lord out of captivity into their places of promise? They’ll see the places that have been laid waste restored. Deliverers take them from Egypt and the wilderness to the Promised land. Yes, that’s right, the Lord is taking you, but it doesn’t end with that. The Lord says, “then you’ll be a deliverer of nations, a discipler of nations, you will unlock what has been held up, you’ll unlock what has been hidden.” This is the season of the mouth that the voices are being released upon the earth that are going to break forth things that have been hidden. Inheritances are coming forth.

So, I just declare it in the name of Jesus! I prophesy it that this is the season of the mighty roar coming forth of the church in Jesus mighty name. Now declare over yourself that “this is my season that my mighty roar comes forth in Jesus mighty name” and many of you in this season you have been struggling because you have not seen any fruit and power, but “this is the season where you will see fruit and this is the season where you will see power,” says the Lord in Jesus mighty name. There’s creativity being released, songs in the night and dreams of the night; it’s coming like rain, tender kisses from the Father. I encourage you in this season to come back to your first love and come away from distractions and let the Father’s voice become the loudest thing that you hear so that He reveals your roar that’s needed. You need your roar, you need your authority, you need your sound to be released because we need you. Join the symphony; release your voice and release your sound in Jesus mighty name! I bless you and I pray an incredible week for you and an incredible year for you and that this will be a year that you see the fruit and power of your obedience to be a voice for God.

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR HAIR WAS CUT

By Nate Johnston • May 12, 2025
Ministry betrayal hurts. Church fatigue is real.. I was praying recently when I kept seeing the image of Samson with his head shaved. I know this often represents those who in a previous season who felt like they lost their strength, but what I felt so strongly in my spirit is that this went even deeper - this was about church and ministry fatigue. For those who have been involved in church life or serving in some way, the enemy used what was closest to you to take you out. The things you poured your heart into, the things you were deeply invested in became the very tools used to wound you and wear you down. This is especially true for those who have experienced spiritual abuse. I know this pain is incredibly painful and can feel difficult to come back from. But I also feel this - the enemy has come hard after those whom God wants to use powerfully in this next season. Because if the enemy can disillusion you, if he can cause you to associate ministry and kingdom work with burnout and betrayal, then he can keep you sidelined. He’ll make you hesitant to ever step into that space again and if that happens, the call of God on your life remains unfulfilled. The same goes for those battling ministry fatigue. I know many people right now who feel deep anxiety at even the thought of ministry. The memories of being pulled in every direction, emotionally drained, abused, and left shipwrecked have left a bitter taste. It’s not just that people came against you, they betrayed you, tore you down, and then disappeared when everything fell apart. Or maybe things didn’t turn out how you envisioned, and you were left disillusioned. Some of you have been walking like Samson with your hair cut for so long that you don’t remember what it’s like to move in power, authority, confidence, and anointing anymore. You woke up like Samson, to find your hair gone and your strength vanished. In a moment, he went from powerful and fearless to weakened and humiliated, like a lion whose mane had been shorn. It’s not just strength that leaves it’s the shame and regret that follow close behind. And that’s how you have felt.. But I feel led to pray that life would come back into your bones this week. That a fresh wind would stir in your spirit. For many, revelation has dried up. Vision is gone. Passion gone. Life feels flat because you gave everything, and it cost you deeply in your family, your peace, your health, your marriage, your children. I get it. It’s been deeply painful. But hear me out - there is another chapter beyond this and there is a fresh wind coming! So this week, I want to start by praying for you. For those who’ve come out of a season of ministry burnout, spiritual abuse, or deep disappointment. For those walking in shame, questioning everything: “God, did I not hear You right?” “Did I trust the wrong people?” “Why am I now depleted in health, finances, and confidence?” I believe the Lord wants me to prophesy over you - GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! You may have heard this before, but I want prophesy it again until something breaks in the spirit. GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! Sit and receive that from the Lord. Let his healing balm penetrate your heart right now. I also pray for the muzzle to come off, for fear and anxiety to be removed. For witchcraft and chatter to stop swirling, for confusion to be lifted and for STRENGTH to return in Jesus name. It’s time to step back into the fullness of your calling and RECOVER ALL! I know what it’s like to hide under the covers after ministry hurt. I know what it’s like to feel disillusioned with the church. But just because you went through that season doesn’t mean God can’t use you again and it doesn’t mean he can’t turn it around. So as we begin this week, we are also praying for those who’ve received bad reports, for those who’ve lost hope, for those who are sick in their bodies or tormented in their minds, and for those facing impossible circumstances. Jesus is still the answer. But today, in Jesus’ name, I say it again - GET UP AND WALK! Leave your sickbed behind. Receive your fresh wind. Receive your fresh anointing. And I prophesy - Everything that was stolen or cut off will grow back, in Jesus’ name!

PIONEERS, GOD SHOWED ME THE FRUIT OF YOUR YES

By Nate Johnston • May 8, 2025
I have a word for the pioneers today... Just a few days ago, I was walking around the house praying when I saw a vision of an apple tree. It was being shaken violently. And although it was full of apples, they weren’t falling off. I thought, Hmm, that’s interesting, the fruit isn’t falling. Then, I felt prompted to speak and prophesy: It’s time for the fruit to come. It’s time for the fruit to come. We’ve had enough delay. We’ve had enough confusion. It’s time for the fruit to come. As soon as I said that, I saw the vision again and this time, apples were flying everywhere. They covered the ground until you couldn’t even see the grass. I kept walking around the house, praying into this, and I knew it was the Lord speaking about pioneers, those who had walked through seasons where it felt like they hadn’t seen the fruit of their yes to the Lord. They hadn’t seen the fruition of what they sowed. But I sensed the Lord saying: You haven’t seen the next chapter yet. You haven’t seen what I’m doing next. And I truly believe this is a massive prophetic indicator for this season. Many have even been afraid to step into new assignments from the Lord because it feels like, God, how can I step into something new when I haven’t even seen the fruit of the last season? But the Lord is saying: Stop measuring a season by its fruit. As a pioneer and forerunner, sometimes you don’t see the fruit until later chapters. Your faithfulness to say yes, to do what He told you to do, that was enough. But now, you’ve stepped into a new chapter. You’ve got to release the old season. Surrender it to the Lord so you can step into what He’s pouring out now. Grab it with both hands. I believe this vision is also a powerful sign for this moment in history. There’s shaking all around us, and many are afraid of it. But don’t fear the shaking because it’s revealing the fruit. Then I went into a second vision. I saw large storehouses almost like warehouses lining both sides of a freeway. They were being filled, overflowing. I knew I was seeing the fruit, the fulfillment, the fruition of years of prayer, obedience, and contending. I could see the expressions on people’s faces “I can’t believe it. I never thought I would see this day come.” But it has come. And I believe this is what the Lord is declaring: You are going to see the fruit of it. It reminded me of Zerubbabel - the one God gave the signet ring (Haggai 2:23), the one who led the people out of exile and laid the foundation of the temple and also lived to see the capstone placed (Zechariah 4:9). He didn’t just begin the work. He saw it finished. As pioneers, we often feel like we labor and others walk into the fruit. But I believe the Lord is saying: In this season, you’re going to see it. You will see what you gave your yes to. Now let me speak into the shaking for a moment because I felt it was significant that I saw the tree being shaken violently. The tree was being shaken so the fruit could come. Think about that for a moment. You don’t have to fear the shaking when you know that the glory comes with it. And right now, many people are in fear in this shaking because their focus is on the wrong thing. The shaking isn’t here to ruin you, but to dismantle demonic principalities and systems that have oppressed you for a long time. The shaking is here to shake the earth back into order and alignment with the Kingdom and take back ground. The shaking is here to ready the church for harvest. It’s not punishment for us, it’s actually the sign that FRUIT IS INCOMING! And the shaking is right now producing what you’ve been praying for. The shaking is bringing you into breakthrough because you’ve already been through the breaking. This shift that’s happening right now is not a shift into doom and gloom. It’s a shift into bloom and increase. It’s a shift that’s taking you into the ripening, personally and corporately, because you’ve already been through the pruning. You’ve been through the fire, through the adversity, through the dark night of the soul where you wanted to give up, and where everything was stacked against you. So now it’s time for the glory to be revealed because you held on to Jesus through the battle. And God’s about to reveal His faithfulness because you were faithful. He’s about to reveal His goodness in your life because you chose to believe He was good, even when others walked away. You hit your knees when others turned back to Egypt. So today pioneers, look through the right lens. Get back your faith eyes. Shake off the doubt. Shake off the fear. And choose to see not through the eyes of foreboding, fear, delay, and hope deferred but through the eyes of hope again. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” Romans 8:18 FRUIT IS COMING!

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR HAIR WAS CUT

By Nate Johnston • May 12, 2025
Ministry betrayal hurts. Church fatigue is real.. I was praying recently when I kept seeing the image of Samson with his head shaved. I know this often represents those who in a previous season who felt like they lost their strength, but what I felt so strongly in my spirit is that this went even deeper - this was about church and ministry fatigue. For those who have been involved in church life or serving in some way, the enemy used what was closest to you to take you out. The things you poured your heart into, the things you were deeply invested in became the very tools used to wound you and wear you down. This is especially true for those who have experienced spiritual abuse. I know this pain is incredibly painful and can feel difficult to come back from. But I also feel this - the enemy has come hard after those whom God wants to use powerfully in this next season. Because if the enemy can disillusion you, if he can cause you to associate ministry and kingdom work with burnout and betrayal, then he can keep you sidelined. He’ll make you hesitant to ever step into that space again and if that happens, the call of God on your life remains unfulfilled. The same goes for those battling ministry fatigue. I know many people right now who feel deep anxiety at even the thought of ministry. The memories of being pulled in every direction, emotionally drained, abused, and left shipwrecked have left a bitter taste. It’s not just that people came against you, they betrayed you, tore you down, and then disappeared when everything fell apart. Or maybe things didn’t turn out how you envisioned, and you were left disillusioned. Some of you have been walking like Samson with your hair cut for so long that you don’t remember what it’s like to move in power, authority, confidence, and anointing anymore. You woke up like Samson, to find your hair gone and your strength vanished. In a moment, he went from powerful and fearless to weakened and humiliated, like a lion whose mane had been shorn. It’s not just strength that leaves it’s the shame and regret that follow close behind. And that’s how you have felt.. But I feel led to pray that life would come back into your bones this week. That a fresh wind would stir in your spirit. For many, revelation has dried up. Vision is gone. Passion gone. Life feels flat because you gave everything, and it cost you deeply in your family, your peace, your health, your marriage, your children. I get it. It’s been deeply painful. But hear me out - there is another chapter beyond this and there is a fresh wind coming! So this week, I want to start by praying for you. For those who’ve come out of a season of ministry burnout, spiritual abuse, or deep disappointment. For those walking in shame, questioning everything: “God, did I not hear You right?” “Did I trust the wrong people?” “Why am I now depleted in health, finances, and confidence?” I believe the Lord wants me to prophesy over you - GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! You may have heard this before, but I want prophesy it again until something breaks in the spirit. GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! GET UP AND WALK! DRY BONES COME ALIVE IN JESUS NAME! Sit and receive that from the Lord. Let his healing balm penetrate your heart right now. I also pray for the muzzle to come off, for fear and anxiety to be removed. For witchcraft and chatter to stop swirling, for confusion to be lifted and for STRENGTH to return in Jesus name. It’s time to step back into the fullness of your calling and RECOVER ALL! I know what it’s like to hide under the covers after ministry hurt. I know what it’s like to feel disillusioned with the church. But just because you went through that season doesn’t mean God can’t use you again and it doesn’t mean he can’t turn it around. So as we begin this week, we are also praying for those who’ve received bad reports, for those who’ve lost hope, for those who are sick in their bodies or tormented in their minds, and for those facing impossible circumstances. Jesus is still the answer. But today, in Jesus’ name, I say it again - GET UP AND WALK! Leave your sickbed behind. Receive your fresh wind. Receive your fresh anointing. And I prophesy - Everything that was stolen or cut off will grow back, in Jesus’ name!

PIONEERS, GOD SHOWED ME THE FRUIT OF YOUR YES

By Nate Johnston • May 8, 2025
I have a word for the pioneers today... Just a few days ago, I was walking around the house praying when I saw a vision of an apple tree. It was being shaken violently. And although it was full of apples, they weren’t falling off. I thought, Hmm, that’s interesting, the fruit isn’t falling. Then, I felt prompted to speak and prophesy: It’s time for the fruit to come. It’s time for the fruit to come. We’ve had enough delay. We’ve had enough confusion. It’s time for the fruit to come. As soon as I said that, I saw the vision again and this time, apples were flying everywhere. They covered the ground until you couldn’t even see the grass. I kept walking around the house, praying into this, and I knew it was the Lord speaking about pioneers, those who had walked through seasons where it felt like they hadn’t seen the fruit of their yes to the Lord.

SIGNS YOU ARE LEVELING UP IN THE SPIRIT REALM!

By Nate Johnston • May 7, 2025
You’re starting to notice your discernment sharpening - what once felt confusing is now spiritually clear, and you are trusting your spiritual senses more. You’re beginning to lose your appetite for entertainment and conversations that carry compromise, and what once felt normal now feels spiritually heavy. You’re becoming more intentional about who speaks into your life. You are choosing depth, truth, and alignment over comfort and familiarity. You’re beginning to feel less tempted by old patterns like lust, fear, striving, and insecurity and they no longer have the same grip they used to. You’re starting to recognize spiritual assignments early, and what once blindsided you now gets discerned before it can take root. You’re no longer taken out by witchcraft, gossip, or slander because you’ve learned how to stand in peace and stay hidden in God. You’re beginning to feel the power and authority you have over demonic spirits and strongholds because you’re releasing it right away in hard moments instead of hesitating or shrinking back. You’re starting to refuse to be bullied by people, manipulation, or spiritual assignments the way you used to and you’re standing your ground more. You’re beginning to see the thing behind the thing. Your discernment has sharpened to the point that you recognize what’s masquerading as surface issues. You’re seeing small but significant shifts in areas where you used to be bombarded and robbed, and there’s now fruit where there used to be cycles. You’re beginning to realize that you don’t have to defend yourself. God is your defender, and you’re resting more in that truth. You’re noticing the Jezebel spirit can’t lure you into manipulation, fear, or silence like before and you’re quicker to walk away from the drama and reclaim your voice. You’re starting to speak truth with boldness instead of apologizing for your calling, and you’re stepping into spiritual authority with more confidence. You’re becoming more aware of the orphan mindset when it tries to creep in and you’re rejecting self-pity, comparison, and the need to prove your worth. You’re choosing sonship over survival, rest over hustle, identity over performance. You’re beginning to notice that your spiritual hunger has increased, and you’re craving the Word, the presence of God, and purity more than ever. You’re less shaken by resistance and more aware of your assignment. You see warfare as confirmation of your calling, not discouragement. You’re beginning to recognize when God is promoting you, even when it comes through pressure or pruning. You’re not offended by closed doors, you’re learning to see them as God’s protection and redirection. You’re finding joy in the hidden place. You don’t need the spotlight to feel secure anymore. You’re beginning to respond with spiritual authority instead of reacting emotionally. You take it to prayer before you take it to people. You’re starting to feel a deep shift, less striving, more surrender. Less fear, more fire. You’re not just surviving anymore, you’re starting to rule. You’re not just reacting to darkness, you’re displacing it. This isn’t just spiritual growth. This is spiritual promotion. You have leveled up! Well done! 

DON’T LET THE ENEMY ABORT “THE NEW THING” IN YOU!

By Nate Johnston • May 5, 2025
Have you been battling with a sudden wave of discouragement, and attack against the dreams you are carrying in this season? Does it feel like the enemy is trying to make you forfeit them by bringing distractions and voices of fear, intimidation, and caution so you don’t bring them forth? Are you even questioning if you heard right and are even doing what God has told you to do? Sounds textbook for what the enemy does in a birthing season.. Last week, I shared a word about how, in this season, God is birthing unusual ministries and movements that feel unfamiliar and don’t fit the old mold. Many are stepping into assignments purely out of obedience, even when it doesn’t make sense in the natural. These new expressions of ministry break away from traditional methods, and they challenge what we’ve come to define as “legitimate.” It reminds me of when we began our ministry. God called us to train and equip online, back when that was nearly unheard of. At that time, a legitimate school or training ministry had to be run through a church. Because we weren’t, we were labeled rebels, heretics, and lone rangers. But as we remained faithful through the criticism, God vindicated us. He proved, even to some of the loudest voices that we were going to obey Him, not a system and see the fruit from it. John the Baptist birthed his ministry in the wilderness. So did Jesus, He was affirmed by the Father at His baptism and immediately led by the Spirit into the wilderness. It was only after overcoming the enemy there that He emerged in power. You see, the wilderness isn’t a punishment, it’s often the birthing room of the most pure movements because they aren’t birthed in the comforts we are accustomed to. They take radical steps obedience to bring forth. Think of the Covid days where many hospitals had such high restrictions that many babies then were born at home because of it. It wasn’t the norm, but it became the norm. You see, God isn’t birthing the most potent movements in shiny and clean rooms, or boardrooms, but in the messy, the wilderness, the MANGERS! Right now, many of you have conceived something from the Lord. You’ve received a download, a vision, an assignment, a calling, but it doesn’t fit the current mold of ministry. It feels risky. It feels uncomfortable. You don’t have the full picture, just enough to step out. And when you try to explain it to others, you’re met with blank stares, doubt, or even accusations. But hear this: God gives you the seed, not the whole blueprint. Why? Because if He gave you the full vision at once, it would overwhelm you. And if you share it too early, it invites discouragement and resistance that can derail the very thing He’s birthing through you. I had a dream after our most recent gathering in Orange County. In it, I was in a birthing class like a Lamaze class and the atmosphere was thick with fear and nervous anticipation. One woman shared how hard her last birth was and how afraid she was that this one would be the same. Suddenly, a group burst into the room, laughing, mocking, completely unaware of the sacred moment happening. I shouted, “Get out! You’re distracting them!” And they cursed me and said, “What are you even doing? This is silly!” And I woke up with fire in my spirit. The Lord spoke clearly: In the birthing season, you must protect what you’re carrying. Like Jesus clearing the room before raising Jairus’ daughter, not everyone can be allowed into the birthing room. Here’s What the Lord Showed Me About Birthing Seasons: You cannot cast your pearls too early. Sharing the vision too soon can open you up to spiritual attack, discouragement, and mockery that wounds and aborts what God planted in you. Spies sent to extract information will come disguised as caring voices. These may be former mentors, religious authorities, or even well-meaning friends. But they’re there to gather intel to discredit you or twist your assignment into something more palatable to them. Jezebel will rise against it.. The spirit of control and manipulation hates pure, Spirit-birthed movements. And it will often use familiar voices, former leaders, influencers, or spiritual “fathers and mothers”to make you feel illegitimate, rebellious, or dangerous. These are witchcraft assignments in disguise. Provision may seem to dry up, doors may shut. Don’t let temporary lack cause you to question the vision. You’re not seeing fruit yet because you’re still planting the tree. Don’t judge the season by the fruit, judge it by the weight of the seed. And then just yesterday I received another confirming dream - a warning dream from a prophetic friend. In it, people offered Christy and and I the funds to purchase the land we’ve been believing for. But their condition was this: “Do it our way. Make it fit our mold. Make it a church not an apostolic hub” And bit by bit, they stripped the uniqueness from the vision until our friend shouted: “DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL.” That hit me like thunder in my spirit. Weighty, and smothered in the fear of the Lord. And so I say to you, pioneers and forerunners: DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL. Do not compromise the movement. Do not water down the mandate. Do not shift the vision to please men. Do not hand over your assignment to gain comfort or applause. This is not the time to conform, this is the time to protect, guard, and bring forth. What God is birthing through you is pure. It’s holy. It may not look like church-as-usual because it’s not. It’s the Kingdom breaking in. So as you move into this week, I urge you: Shut the door. Guard the room. Listen to the Spirit. Be obedient. You’re not crazy. You’re not rebellious. You’re pregnant with a movement. Birth it purely. Birth it boldly, and don’t be distracted, In Jesus’ mighty name.
