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.

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

ARE YOU AT A THRESHOLD OF FAITH?

By Nate Johnston • June 6, 2025
I have some encouragement for the pioneers. Over the last few weeks, I’ve kept hearing this language - that we are at thresholds of faith. What is a threshold? A threshold is defined as: the point of entering or beginning something new. So, what is a threshold of faith? A threshold of faith is a place you come to when you can no longer keep operating or living within the confines of your previous limitations. God is leading you into a significant breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what’s coming. Thresholds of faith at first feel like pressure. They feel emotionally triggering. They feel like the enemy is warring against your mind. It can feel even feel like a rollercoaster of soul highs and lows as God brings precious things to the surface to free you and lighten you. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy is trying to keep you lower. God is calling you to fly like an eagle, while the enemy wants to keep you grounded with the turkeys. In this calling we go from glory to glory with God (2 Corinthians 3:18). So He’s always leading us into greater levels of truth about who we are and about our calling as sons and daughters, as leaders, and as fathers and mothers. There are always deeper dimensions of capacity, anointing, character, and fruit that we are meant to walk in. So we go through thresholds of faith not because something is wrong or because things are falling apart, but because we’ve asked Him for more. This pressure is the very thing we’ve been praying for. But we often forget - before breakthrough comes, God upgrades our internal operating system. If He brings us into breakthrough without transformation, we’ll crash and burn. The issue is that In this consumer-Christian culture we’ve inherited, we want our circumstances to change, but we often resist the internal transformation required. We avoid deliverance. We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name! 

WHEN JEZEBEL SENDS YOU INTO ISOLATION

By Nate Johnston • June 3, 2025
One of the greatest epidemics of the church is breaking right now. And as we start this week, I want to pray over you and prophesy into your life especially if you’ve been isolated by the enemy or been in a season of feeling very disconnected from other believers and from people. If you’ve seen attack and warfare on your relationships, marriages, your kids, and those around you… If you’ve gone through season-after-season of wrong alignments, unhealthy coverings, Sauls instead of fathers & mothers, all while being surrounded by wolves... Or if you’ve just been rejected over and over again, and it’s sent you into isolation. I believe the Lord is speaking to us all in this season. I believe we are seeing a spiritual movement both on a micro and a macro level right now to shift this tide. We’re seeing the Lord expose an assignment that has been allowed and tolerated in the body of Christ for too long. That assignment is isolation. It’s a tactic of the Jezebel spirit, one that has hidden easily within the institutional church paradigm and its thrived within the current culture of the church. But the Lord is weeding it out, exposing it, and bringing us back into the revelation of family and belonging. That truth is counteracting and unloosing the bonds of this demonic principality because people are no longer interested in a nice sermon if they have to go home and be alone in the week. This spirit has worked overtime on us. It’s a principality that hasn’t just broken apart the body of Christ into factions and denominations. It’s also stopped the most powerful voices, those carrying truth, and authority from rising into their place. It’s created a cancel culture within the church. An isolation culture. It’s created antisocial behavioral norms within the church, and we’ve accepted it for too long. But I prophesy today - That is all shifting. I prophesy it’s shifting over your life most importantly. As I was praying into this, I asked the Lord why Jezebel seems so invested in creating this kind of division and isolation. And He said that Jezebel recognizes the power and anointing that comes when the church walks in unity. That’s the macro. The Jezebel spirit knows that when believers support one another, when we link arms, there is an anointing that is unleashed. Because if it can isolate - it can assassinate. Let me say that again - If Jezebel can isolate, it can assassinate. Why do you think so many people can attend church on a Sunday and still feel utterly alone? Why is it accepted that we go to events and meetings and conferences, but still lack genuine connection? The church has often wrapped mission in religious activity, while relational connection, the very essence of family has been lost. It’s led us into pain and deep spiritual disconnection. And it’s time for this to shift. As I continued to pray, the Lord reminded me of the seasons in my own life where this spirit came after us again and again. I remembered being in churches where the nature of our calling led to sudden rejection, pushing us out of community. I remembered delivering a warning word to leaders, and immediately being outcast. I remembered being in a toxic work environment, where a Jezebel-influenced boss physically isolated me in a separate building so she could bully me. And I remembered the many times this happened in ministry spaces. It’s happened over and over again and we have all become used to it. We’ve learned to operate alone. And we’ve called it “normal” ministry life. We say the church is a family, but so many have lived as lone rangers even inside a church setting. But this is breaking now! Look at Elijah in 1 Kings 18. Jezebel threatens him. And he runs for his life. He hides in fear. He isolates. And even though God looks after him, there are a few things that take place in that moment that I believe the Lord is highlighting now as a blueprint for us. First, Elijah is fed. I see this in a few lights - one as the fresh manna from heaven and sustenance building him up again. Secondly, in light of the breaking bread of Acts 2 pointing to God leading him out of isolation. And thirdly as the bread of deliverance. Next he’s reminded of the still-small-voice because fear had drowned it out. In isolation and fear, the voice of the Lord pulls us out because we are so bombarded by lies and it’s the enemies lies that keep us there. Right now the lies that sent you there need to be broken. Then what happens? Elijah wraps his mantle around his face and leaves the cave which is prophetically representative of choosing to pick up what we dropped when we went through the pain of slander and accusation that led us to isolation in the first place. It’s picking up our calling again. Oh but it’s also more. It’s choosing to allow your heart to let people in after a season of being wounded. I believe this is the invitation from the Lord right now. To leave the cave. To leave the place of isolation. I know it’s easier said than done. I know many of you are afraid, and rightfully so. You’ve been burned. You’ve been rejected. But there is a grace right now to break this assignment of isolation and assassination that has put your gifting on pause and your purpose on the back burner. This is a season of finding your tribe. Finding the people who will lift your arms. It’s time to step out of religious, controlled environments and into true community. Into spiritual family. There is a remnant rising for this moment and we are linking arms while creating safe spaces. Pastors and leaders from all walks of life are laying their brands in the dust and choosing connection over control. It’s the Acts 2 core calling us back to breaking bread. This is the priority now. We are better together. Healthier together. Even COVID was a prophetic image of the enemy’s plan to isolate. But we’re saying no more. We will not let this spirit mute our voices or steal our destinies. We need each other. So I prophesy over you: This moment right now marks the breaking of isolation. Loneliness is breaking off of you. It’s time to find your people I prophesy this week you will feel something stirring on this front. A stirring. A longing. Your heart beginning to feel again. And bondages will break in the process. You’ll feel the shift inside and see it on the outside as God brings this into being. I prophesy - New environments, new rooms, new tables places you never imagined will open to you. God can do it in a short time. But I also challenge you , you need to step out. Start walking toward the community God has prepared for you. Because isolation is over In Jesus’ name. 

ARE YOU AT A THRESHOLD OF FAITH?

By Nate Johnston • June 6, 2025
I have some encouragement for the pioneers. Over the last few weeks, I’ve kept hearing this language - that we are at thresholds of faith. What is a threshold? A threshold is defined as: the point of entering or beginning something new. So, what is a threshold of faith? A threshold of faith is a place you come to when you can no longer keep operating or living within the confines of your previous limitations. God is leading you into a significant breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what’s coming. Thresholds of faith at first feel like pressure. They feel emotionally triggering. They feel like the enemy is warring against your mind. It can feel even feel like a rollercoaster of soul highs and lows as God brings precious things to the surface to free you and lighten you. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy is trying to keep you lower. God is calling you to fly like an eagle, while the enemy wants to keep you grounded with the turkeys. In this calling we go from glory to glory with God (2 Corinthians 3:18). So He’s always leading us into greater levels of truth about who we are and about our calling as sons and daughters, as leaders, and as fathers and mothers. There are always deeper dimensions of capacity, anointing, character, and fruit that we are meant to walk in. So we go through thresholds of faith not because something is wrong or because things are falling apart, but because we’ve asked Him for more. This pressure is the very thing we’ve been praying for. But we often forget - before breakthrough comes, God upgrades our internal operating system. If He brings us into breakthrough without transformation, we’ll crash and burn. The issue is that In this consumer-Christian culture we’ve inherited, we want our circumstances to change, but we often resist the internal transformation required. We avoid deliverance. We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name!

SOMEONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS TODAY—TURN THE PAGE!

By Nate Johnston • May 27, 2025
Let go. Don’t get stuck because you can’t move on without the closure of answers to why things landed the way they did. Why things fell apart and why you were left holding the broken fragments of a dream you felt God led you to. Why you were attacked so relentlessly and lost so much. Why you were shipwrecked, slandered, and feel like you have only gone backwards not forwards. I know it’s cost you everything and you don’t see what it produced yet, but unless you turn the page it won’t allow God to connect the dots and reshuffle the pages that right now feel out of order. For isn’t he the orchestrator of your life? He knows what those dark nights produced even when you didn’t. He knows what those seasons were for even though right now all you see when you look behind is dead ends and wild goose chases. But unless you turn the page you’ll never get to see the rest of the story and see Him connect all the seasons like poetry. Yes, even the hard and most painful moments He has a way of turning around if you’ll let Him. So how do you do that today? Give up. It’s where you choose to close the chapter by giving Him the pieces and questions. It’s a faith thing and the deepest surrender when it feels unjust and you don’t understand. And I know many reading this feel bottled up with grief, but today refuse to keep rehearsing or trying to do this in your own strength. The floor is the only way forward and there’s a brand new chapter waiting to unfold. It’s a call to trust. To believe that even what you can’t understand has been seen, measured, and held by a God who doesn’t waste pain. But you have been living in a chapter that ended a long time ago. The ink dried, the door closed, but your heart stayed behind trying to rewrite what already happened. Let that go. The new is already here waiting for you to choose it over the tired tape of the past you have been watching. It’s here to show you that there’s so much more ahead for you than you knew. It’s waiting to breathe life into your lungs and bring clarity and vision after the fog. So turn the page, not because you understand but because you are choosing to trust the one who’s writing it. And watch what He does with the blank space. 

DON'T MISS YOUR BURNING BUSH SEASON

By Nate Johnston • May 27, 2025
As we start this week, I have a word for many out there: Don’t miss your burning bush season. Or maybe I should say, don’t overlook your burning bush season. Don’t miss it. We often look at seasons where things don’t add up or make sense and diagnose them as seasons of waiting, seasons we’re just trying to survive until we get to the next destination, the next stop. We don’t always see the richness of what God is depositing in each season. In the last few days, I keep hearing this: Don’t miss your burning bush season. Remember the story of Moses? He was tending his father-in-law’s sheep in the wilderness when he saw the burning bush. He was simply doing his job, satisfied in it when suddenly, there was an encounter with God. And God pulled him out out of the wilderness, out of that environment, out of that situation, out of the guilt and shame of his past. God pulled him out and gave him an assignment. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law… and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.” - Exodus 3:1–2 “God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, ‘Here I am.’” - Exodus 3:4 He was simply doing his job, when suddenly, there was an encounter with God. And God pulled him out of the wilderness, out of that environment, out of that situation, out of the guilt and shame of his past. God pulled him out and gave him an assignment. “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” - Exodus 3:10 And I believe we are in a moment right now that, to many, feels like a standstill. It feels like a hiatus after a long season of pioneering for the Lord, one that has strangely led to this place of wilderness. As I’ve been sharing for a while, we’ve been in a Hosea 2 season, where the Lord has been leading the Church back into the wilderness. That wilderness has been necessary for you. You’ve needed respite. You’ve needed refreshing. You’ve needed to break away from the hustle so God could reset you and bring you back to encounter, which is the ultimate reset. That’s what truly resets you. You’ve taken on so many mantles and jackets—Saul’s armor—for years. You don’t know which way is up anymore, or what your assignment is, who you’re called to, or who you’re not called to. You don’t know where your alignments are meant to be. You’ve had your hands in too many pies, your feet muddy from too many places. You’ve been slimed, slandered. You’ve walked through heartache, difficulty, betrayal. Yet, you’ve felt the compulsion to step into anything just to feel like you’re not lost. But no, the wilderness has been necessary to set you free. Here’s what you need to know: the wilderness can shift quickly because the wilderness leads to encounter, and encounter launches you into your new assignment. I say this over you and prophesy: you are in a very small window of time where the Lord is doing a massive work. The time isn’t long but the work is deep. Let me say that again: the time isn’t long, but the work is deep. God is going deep generationally. This isn’t a short cleanup process. God is going deep into your life, and He wants to set your feet on a new foundation. That’s right this season you’re in right now is a season of a brand-new slab being laid in your life. A new foundation. What is foundation? It’s where God gets you ready, gears you up for the new thing He’s going to build in your life, around you, and through you. Last year, we went to Australia, and the Lord gave me a dream: two towers crumbling to the ground. He said, “You’re at ground zero.” That’s what this is—a ground zero. A new slab has been laid in your life. God is going low and slow right now. He’s getting you ready because many of us have built for years without a foundation—without solid structure or deep roots. So God’s been setting that right for the new season, and for the Church. But we often misdiagnose seasons of fresh foundation as stagnancy, when they’re anything but. When the Lord sets your heart right, He aligns you to a rhythm and a synergy you didn’t know in the past season. He sharpens your discernment your ability to see and know what’s true. He leads you to the right people, right places, and right environments. I believe one key part of this new foundation is that God is leading many out of loneliness and isolation. He’s not just setting your feet upon the rock of salvation He’s breaking off orphan mentalities, the hustle, the striving and leading you into an Acts 2 infrastructure: community, family, people who hold your arms up so you can thrive. This foundation includes restoration God restoring the years the locusts have eaten. And He’s doing that right now. Now for the weighty part of this word: That moment with Moses at the burning bush was more significant than we often realize. It was like Elisha being mantled by Elijah a sudden shift into his true calling. In that moment, God told Moses: “ Go. Set my people free.” And Moses responded, “But God, I don’t know how to speak.” God replied, “When you go, I will give you the words. I will give you signs. I will give you the power.” “Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent…’ And the Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths?… Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.’” - Exodus 4:10–12 He didn’t just send Moses on an impossible mission. He backed him with the power of heaven. And I feel the word of the Lord right now for many who have been in this season of waiting: You have been fashioned and formed to be a voice for the Lord in this next season. To set the Church free. To set the bound free. God is raising up unconventional, unusual, untrained voices who carry His heart. And I prophesy, in the mighty name of Jesus: this is your burning bush season. You are stepping out of the wilderness and into the bold voice God has called you to be. Let me go one step further: This week look. Look for the signs in your life of breakout. Look for the moments. The encounters. Because that’s where God is waiting for you. You’re looking for external change, for doors to open. But you’re missing the door that’s already swung wide open: the door of encounter. The door to the secret place. The door that leads into the tent of meeting. That’s what I’m calling you to. That’s what God is commissioning you into - a season of intimacy and encounter. So let me prophesy over your - this week, your wilderness shifts. It shifts from waiting to encounter, from wandering aimlessly to walking in clarity. The fog lifts. The silence breaks. Heaven is speaking. Dreams come now! Insight floods your spirit like a rushing river. May the full healing of the wilderness come—so the rest, the restoration, the commissioning can follow. Lord, raise up your wild voices. Those untrained by man but marked by fire. Those who have met You in hidden places. Let them rise now, rooted, ready, and roaring in Jesus’ name. Amen.
