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.

By Nate Johnston 01 May, 2024
This is burning in my spirit to share for those who have felt stuck or put on hold especially in the last 4 months. It seems like you are back in waiting but aren’t sure what for. You feel like you have been on a wild-goose chase that has suddenly shipwrecked you in “no mans land”. It feels like you have been robbed of your vehicle - your purpose. Like you have been pulled over and forced out. You feel like you have ended up in a situation that looks nothing like what you envisioned, grieving what makes you come alive but is now out of reach. Looking behind you it feels like your best days are over like you hit your peak - but you haven’t even seen your best days yet. I saw the word I NTERRUPTION being crossed out and in bright red the word LEGACY was written over it. None of this is an accident - where you are right now is a setup. THE UNEXPECTED PATH None of this was a mistake. Your unusual path. The detour. The treasure hunt and blind faith journey. It wasn’t a tease. It was designed to go somewhere you couldn’t have found on your own. You wouldn’t have chosen the mess and the unknown, the struggles and wrestles, pressing and crushing - and you also wouldn’t have seen what was waiting for you at the end of this. But now your heart needs to adjust to the new landscape. The new thing that you didn’t expect or envision. It’s not settling - Its surrender. It’s not giving up - it’s finally moving with the new flow and accepting the new script. ADDRESSING THE LIES The lie of failure has shut down your creativity and confidence. It’s made you drop your sword and begin to bargain your way out. The lie of being abandoned has questioned your first call and whether you heard God at all. No, you didn’t miss it. The lie of “this is as good as it’s going to get” has made you begin to settle for second best and make your bed in the valley but you are moving through! THE SEED FALLING TO THE GROUND Many have been in an extreme 4 months of what has felt like a “falling to the ground season” where it has felt like everything they once held has had to be laid down. “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds” - John 12:24 I heard the Lord say “If my people don’t lay down what they are holding how can they pick up what I am giving them next?” It feels painful to let go of a dream or expectation you built your life around but God isn’t taking it from you to hurt you but to ADD TO IT! God wants to multiply you! Have you been fighting it? The enemy has. He wants you to stay in the same place you have been. He wants you to hold onto the old seeds that have worn around your neck like a necklace, but if you don’t let them go they will become like a lead weight! As quickly as you lean into surrender God will pour out what he wants to give you. This refining and shaking moment is protection and promotion. It’s advancement and the breaking of apathy. It’s the pure ointment clearing away the old husks of an old season. ENTER THE RESURRECTION! I then heard the Lord say “I am resurrecting my people!” and then I saw the 4 winds of the Spirit whirling and could see the purpose behind this process - God has been seeing his people in bondage, trauma, and constant conflict with the enemy and so He sent us through the fire to DELIVER US! What emerges from this furnace now is going to be so potent. New movements, ministries, messages, and voices. New synergy, partnerships, family, and tribe. Watch what and who leaves the tomb in this season. Watch who comes out of complete disablement with a fresh sound and voice for this season. “In the midst of fiery hot trials, persecution, shaking, opposition, and warfare, heavyweight ministries and movements are emerging and birthing. This is far from a “stuck” or “decrease” season for those who have held onto the hem of Jesus garment. This is where we see the cross outwork powerfully in crisis” “He must increase, but I must decrease” - John 3:30 God didn’t cast you off or send you into isolation - He is REFORMING you and readying you for the next chapter of this pioneering adventure! THE NEXT SIX MONTHS The six months from now til September (Rosh Hashanah) are going to be WAY OPENING months. New direction and coordinates are coming where there has been only roadblocks and no options. New blueprints and fresh vision for the days ahead are coming. Old wineskins will keep falling away. Powerless seeker sensitive Christianity will keep losing its grip and fiery red hot believers will emerge to lead the way forward. Veils of religion and fear are going to drop off the ears and eyes of Gods people so we can see this season clearly and embrace and seize it instead of running and hiding. We won’t fall for the lies of false prophet media. Regardless of what we hear on the news or see in some circumstances. God is tapping us into the newsroom of heaven to see beyond the storm. We are going to shake off the death of this past season and begin to live through the glasses of hope and the victory of the finished work of the cross again. Foundations will keep shaking as God reveals the true rock to build upon on. Structures on sand won’t survive this season. We are coming back to what matters and shedding the weight of every thing that has cluttered us and held us in bondage. We are going to resurrected seeds multiplied. We are going to increased anointing on those who have walked through this shaking season and kept their eyes on the Lord. Jesus is taking center place again in the church. We will see the broken merchant tables of the old expired movements begin to make way for the oil lamps of the burning ones. We are entering an extremely high revelatory season - and Jesus will share this heart with his friends. We are stepping out of defeat and into strategic alignment to hear the counsel of the lord and action it. The Josephs will make themselves known with practical insight of how to plan and prepare and build. We are entering a season of visitation that turns the hearts of the cold back to the Lord. Families that have even under fire will begin to see their broken foundations rebuilt and God is bringing joy and recompense to those who have suffered loss and sowed in tears. And Jesus gets all the glory.

To all of you facing giants this week: As I was praying I heard the Lord say “This is a moment to REMEMBER a what I have said and what I have done” “This is a moment to remind yourself of the breakthroughs you have seen and the impossibilities I demolished in front of you” “This is a time to find your greatest trials that you saw me move in and anchor yourself to that testimony that I will do once again” “This is a time to dig up the words spoken and prophesied over you and go to war with them, arm yourself with them, and stir up your faith to see them come to pass” “I know it’s hard to get your hopes up right now, and it’s been so long since you have seen opposition budge but you are about to see mountains move!” “Cut off the sources of fear, and stop listening to the giants trying to talk you out of your inheritance because soon they will be gone and you’ll hold the keys to the land” “Reject the lies and the failure, and ask yourself; who is fighting for you? Who wages war with you? Who is by your side? Who will never let you do this alone? That’s right, I am with you” “So this week raise up a shout and press into my presence. Lift up your sword and pierce the thick air with your cry, because your worship is going to disarm the warfare and unlock the gates” “The giants in the land are no match for my power and anointing I have given to you. So shake off the defeat and feeling powerless because you have the same power in you that resurrected Jesus from the grave” Let every obstacle, principality, roadblock, and demonic assignment shake in their boots as you March into this week with your hopes up and your sword raised high... we are going to see VICTORIES for the battle belongs to the Lord! “I will sing of you, the one who gives victory to kings— the one who rescues David, your loving servant, from the fatal sword” - Psalm 144:10 “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s” - 2 Chronicles 20:15

This is burning in my spirit to share for those who have felt stuck or put on hold especially in the last 4 months. It seems like you are back in waiting but aren’t sure what for. You feel like you have been on a wild-goose chase that has suddenly shipwrecked you in “no mans land”. It feels like you have been robbed of your vehicle - your purpose. Like you have been pulled over and forced out. You feel like you have ended up in a situation that looks nothing like what you envisioned, grieving what makes you come alive but is now out of reach. Looking behind you it feels like your best days are over like you hit your peak - but you haven’t even seen your best days yet. I saw the word I NTERRUPTION being crossed out and in bright red the word LEGACY was written over it. None of this is an accident - where you are right now is a setup. THE UNEXPECTED PATH None of this was a mistake. Your unusual path. The detour. The treasure hunt and blind faith journey. It wasn’t a tease. It was designed to go somewhere you couldn’t have found on your own. You wouldn’t have chosen the mess and the unknown, the struggles and wrestles, pressing and crushing - and you also wouldn’t have seen what was waiting for you at the end of this. But now your heart needs to adjust to the new landscape. The new thing that you didn’t expect or envision. It’s not settling - Its surrender. It’s not giving up - it’s finally moving with the new flow and accepting the new script. ADDRESSING THE LIES The lie of failure has shut down your creativity and confidence. It’s made you drop your sword and begin to bargain your way out. The lie of being abandoned has questioned your first call and whether you heard God at all. No, you didn’t miss it. The lie of “this is as good as it’s going to get” has made you begin to settle for second best and make your bed in the valley but you are moving through! THE SEED FALLING TO THE GROUND Many have been in an extreme 4 months of what has felt like a “falling to the ground season” where it has felt like everything they once held has had to be laid down. “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds” - John 12:24 I heard the Lord say “If my people don’t lay down what they are holding how can they pick up what I am giving them next?” It feels painful to let go of a dream or expectation you built your life around but God isn’t taking it from you to hurt you but to ADD TO IT! God wants to multiply you! Have you been fighting it? The enemy has. He wants you to stay in the same place you have been. He wants you to hold onto the old seeds that have worn around your neck like a necklace, but if you don’t let them go they will become like a lead weight! As quickly as you lean into surrender God will pour out what he wants to give you. This refining and shaking moment is protection and promotion. It’s advancement and the breaking of apathy. It’s the pure ointment clearing away the old husks of an old season. ENTER THE RESURRECTION! I then heard the Lord say “I am resurrecting my people!” and then I saw the 4 winds of the Spirit whirling and could see the purpose behind this process - God has been seeing his people in bondage, trauma, and constant conflict with the enemy and so He sent us through the fire to DELIVER US! What emerges from this furnace now is going to be so potent. New movements, ministries, messages, and voices. New synergy, partnerships, family, and tribe. Watch what and who leaves the tomb in this season. Watch who comes out of complete disablement with a fresh sound and voice for this season. “In the midst of fiery hot trials, persecution, shaking, opposition, and warfare, heavyweight ministries and movements are emerging and birthing. This is far from a “stuck” or “decrease” season for those who have held onto the hem of Jesus garment. This is where we see the cross outwork powerfully in crisis” “He must increase, but I must decrease” - John 3:30 God didn’t cast you off or send you into isolation - He is REFORMING you and readying you for the next chapter of this pioneering adventure! THE NEXT SIX MONTHS The six months from now til September (Rosh Hashanah) are going to be WAY OPENING months. New direction and coordinates are coming where there has been only roadblocks and no options. New blueprints and fresh vision for the days ahead are coming. Old wineskins will keep falling away. Powerless seeker sensitive Christianity will keep losing its grip and fiery red hot believers will emerge to lead the way forward. Veils of religion and fear are going to drop off the ears and eyes of Gods people so we can see this season clearly and embrace and seize it instead of running and hiding. We won’t fall for the lies of false prophet media. Regardless of what we hear on the news or see in some circumstances. God is tapping us into the newsroom of heaven to see beyond the storm. We are going to shake off the death of this past season and begin to live through the glasses of hope and the victory of the finished work of the cross again. Foundations will keep shaking as God reveals the true rock to build upon on. Structures on sand won’t survive this season. We are coming back to what matters and shedding the weight of every thing that has cluttered us and held us in bondage. We are going to resurrected seeds multiplied. We are going to increased anointing on those who have walked through this shaking season and kept their eyes on the Lord. Jesus is taking center place again in the church. We will see the broken merchant tables of the old expired movements begin to make way for the oil lamps of the burning ones. We are entering an extremely high revelatory season - and Jesus will share this heart with his friends. We are stepping out of defeat and into strategic alignment to hear the counsel of the lord and action it. The Josephs will make themselves known with practical insight of how to plan and prepare and build. We are entering a season of visitation that turns the hearts of the cold back to the Lord. Families that have even under fire will begin to see their broken foundations rebuilt and God is bringing joy and recompense to those who have suffered loss and sowed in tears. And Jesus gets all the glory.

Many are right now experiencing “People fatigue” which is the bewildering burnout after long seasons of being used, manipulated, and pulled in every direction by people for extended periods of time. People fatigue is the result of being constantly coerced and controlled, told what you should and shouldn’t do, being pulled into drama and situations there was no grace on, and/or worn down by people who keep overriding boundaries, and then gaslighting you when you confront it. People fatigue comes to the surface when you realize that you are either bitter and resentful at any level of relationship or involvement with others, overly wary, cynical of all people, or are noticing yourself hiding and retreating. Other signs are anxiety at gatherings or events, scrolling through social media, and anger/frustration seeing others in healthy relationships. If this is you, it’s because the enemy wants you to never find family and genuine covenant relationships. In fact, I believe it’s one of the enemies tactics to isolate you further after you have already come out of a long wilderness, sending you back into obscurity and a Lone Ranger lifestyle. If he can cause you to fear people or have you attempt to do kingdom without people, then he knows he has won in keeping your calling at bay. But let’s go one step further. People fatigue at the surface is people burnout but underneath it’s a triggered area of soul trauma that is rooted in feeling abandoned or used by God. What? How does that work? Let me explain; Think of a pastor who knows his job is to look after his flock. He gives his life to that congregation often at the expense of his family and own wellbeing. Then one day he crashes hard with a moral failure or just mentally/emotionally. Who does he feel let down by? People? Not necessarily. He feels let down by God. “Why did you call me to something I couldn’t keep up with?” He says. But the issue isn’t that God overloaded us, but that religion did. We did. Hang on, how were we part of the problem? It’s easy for us to accidentally slip into the role of fixer when we are in ministry or doing kingdom because we see the great need and think that if we don’t do it, who will right? Before too long we have been spread thin, see the warning signs, but often don’t stop until we have become completely shipwrecked. Is this where you are? Are you in people fatigue? The first step, is dealing with your heart towards the Lord. Ask Him to show you what He called you to without all of the extra baggage and hats that he didn’t tell you to wear. Make the clear distinction between that which He called you to and the over bearing religious burden you have taken on. Also, ask Him to heal and restore your heart from the weariness of the last season. Secondly, deal with any areas of people pleasing in your heart that keeps you in bondage to people or feeling like you owe everyone your time and energy. Is there a reason you keep getting to a place of burnout? Ask the Lord to show you. Thirdly, forgive people who have worn you down and whether knowingly or unknowingly, used you over and over. Maybe you also need to forgive people who have promised things or said things but haven’t delivered. And lastly create some boundaries. Write out a list of rules for yourself of how to effectively do relationships. How can you be in connection to others and a community of people where you feel valued, can pour into them but not feel like you get drained of everything? How do you interact without getting pulled on in an unhealthy way? Decide to up your communication game and value yourself more. You are not being unloving or mean by stating your boundary lines. LAST THOUGHTS Learning to trust people again is a big deal and can be easier said than done but it’s worth fighting to achieve. There are aspects of God we don’t get to experience without community and a close knit group of people to run with. This doesn’t mean we have to open up the floodgates of our hearts to everyone either. In fact, we need more discernment in the days to come and need to know who we are meant to do covenant relationship with and it’s not everyone. One other source of people fatigue are those in “wrong companies” or yoked to people or leaders who are using them to do their bidding. You keep wondering why you are depleted in every way when you are “serving the man of God” but it’s because you are being used. It’s time to break those yokes and as you do you’ll start to be healed and get refreshed again. Some people attract drama and by being in the pig pen with them you keep getting their mud on you. Leave it! Shut the door! “Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way” — Isaiah 35:3

Opposition to the deeper REST/RESET This is where the enemy wars against you entering the secret place, bombarding you with busyness, striving, pressure to get things done, and sudden overwhelming distractions. The healing and heart clearing is so important right now and for some God is doing a complete makeover, cutting hidden ties, and removing wounds and trauma you didn’t even know you were carrying. Opposition of CLARITY to receive revelation/blueprints This is where the enemy sends chatter and words against you, where the atmosphere feels foggy and confusion tries to set in, and while God is always speaking it feels like the pieces don’t connect or seems unclear. For many this is manifested in the battle of the mind coming against them right now and the temptation to fall back into old mindsets, fears, and panic, but has been mainly been coming through peoples words of mockery and judgement. The war against you to RECEIVE is because the delivery is vital right now. Opposition on your VOICE In a time that the pure and clear prophetic has never been needed more there has been an obvious assignment to shut down voices rising up. Often disguised as wisdom, safe-guarding, and protecting purity (which are all necessary) this imposter spirit wants to shut down the prophetic by causing division, fault-finding/critical spirit, and instead of broadcasting hope - broadcasting opinions and agendas. This causes true voices of hope to shut down and hide. Opposition on what God is BUILDING in you This is where the enemy very directly hits you in the very area God is really adding favor, anointing, conviction, and vision in. He wants to sabotage it by making you second guess yourself, bring in controlling people and measures to taint it, or cause delays and setbacks/closed doors in the places God has promised. Opposition to your MANTLE and new mission/appointment Very much the same as what God is building in you but specifically the opposition that comes as a direct result of the noticeable increase you have stepped into and the office/appointment you have before you. The enemy sees the new mantle, your sudden fire and rising authority and has been warring against that appointment with weariness and disappointment. This is where you need wisdom and discernment to know that you aren’t taking on yokes, wrong armour, or peoples stuff, but only what God anoints and mantles you with. WHY AM I DEALING WITH OPPOSITION RIGHT NOW? - God is taking you from GLORY TO GLORY. - Your story is changing. Your track history is changing. - God is LIFTING you out of a whole way of living you got way too used to, administering his healing balm, restoration, and justice from many years ago. It’s the line in the sand so you can move into this season FULLY. - New blueprints and VISION are coming to you! You are in a new unknown era and God is giving you clear GPS directions, coordinates, and mission details for you to steward and walk out. - Your once hidden, squashed, silenced, and timid voice is suddenly ROARING from within you and making its way to the surface. You have no agenda, no territory to selfishly protect, and no motives or self-promotion and the earth needs the pure sound of your voice to cut through the noise. - God is BUILDING you, ESTABLISHING you, ANOINTING you afresh, and moving through you in a way you have not seen Him do! - You have been commissioned by God in the wilderness and now you are coming out of that season with a weighty governmental mantle and call to the nations to see them come to Jesus! SO HOW DO I RESPOND? - Take higher ground. PURSUE the secret place. FIGHT for it. It says in Hebrews 4:11 “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest” It can be difficult in pressure but it's the only place you can get free/clear. - Be armored up. Take communion regularly. - Rebuke the wind and waves. This is your offensive stance. Get out the word and bind up what is coming at you. Clear the atmosphere. Tell the opposition to STOP in Jesus name. - SHAKE IT OFF & MOVE ON! In Acts 18:6 it says “But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” Don’t let it stop you, hold you back, or slow you down. - Keep your vision before you regardless of what you see. Write down the vision, prophesy it, steward your promises, and guard them with your life. Look at what GOD is doing! We must keep our eyes on Jesus more than the storm that surrounds us, more than any pandemic. What is God doing and saying over you right now ?
