7 Emerging Prophetic Gifts

7 Emerging Prophetic Gifts

In February of this year, I had a dream where I saw a toolbox being opened and inside were a variety of different tools. Each tool, seven in total, had a specific purpose. I saw a key, a hammer, a pen, a bell, a timepiece, a telescope and a lightning rod. Over the course of the past few months, the Lord has shown me His plans for these tools, I feel they are strategic expressions that are in His hands being released for this hour in time. He revealed to me what each powerful expression represents and the blueprints for how they will help usher in the prophesied awakening of the Spirit that is upon us. 

Did you know that  you  are a potent and powerful tool in the hand of the Lord? You were born to display the splendor and majesty of your creator to the world that is craving His love and truth. Acts 9:15 confirms this, it says; 

"But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel"

As you read the following prophetic tools, I want you to be aware that they are not reserved for only those who operate in the office a prophet but for the entire body of Christ. I felt the Father's heart very strongly on this, as we all have been given the gift of prophecy and as we lean in and depend on the Holy Spirit, He will breathe and move powerfully through these gifts across our unified army. Additionally, I believe that God is gifting each of His children with multiple expressions, so you may read through the descriptions below and realize that you identify with a number of them, not just one. I pray that you would be encouraged as you discover and unearth the hidden gifts incubating inside you.  

For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to  another gifts  of healings by the same[ a ] Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to  another different kinds  of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:8-10. 

The Key // The Key-giver Or Revelator

The first tool I saw was a key. The key represents the revelators, the equippers, the imparters, the trainers, those called to disciple and equip the body of Christ for service. (Ephesians  4:12 ) The Key-Givers as I call them will reveal the secrets and revelations of the Kingdom that are beneficial to moving forward and extending the borders of heaven upon the earth.

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew  16:19

"I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open" Isaiah  22:22

Key-givers will be integral in passing the baton and grooming those that God is raising up. They will uncover the unlimited resources of the kingdom available at hand. These key-givers will be those that unlock and unveil the road ahead for the body of Christ and clear the debris of old religious mindsets. They are champions of truth, raising an army of powerful sons and daughters who will subdue the earth. 

The Hammer // Refitter

The hammer represents the integral role of those called to administer reformation in the church, or as I have come to call them, "the refitters" because they are repairing and restoring areas of the church from the inside out. They come across like hammers because they challenge and confront stagnant and stale mindsets that produce no fruit. 

Refitter's don't belong to one denomination or stream but they have been raised for the body of Christ as a whole, moving against the tide of cultural and religious norms they have the language and scope to articulate heavens intention. They remove the old and outdated ways and traditions, clear the path for greater unity, connectivity, and effectivity. 

Refitters carry a deeply embedded knowledge of kingdom infrastructure and work alongside apostles to implement new wineskin strategies to build and grow. 

The refitters must use caution to use their gifting in an honorable way. It can be easy to fault-find when your prophetic gifting is a hammer/refitter, but I believe the Holy Spirit is gifting the refitters with discernment to honor those in authority and from this stance, it will open the door for them to speak influentially and pave the way for revival and awakening. Instead of criticism, they will see the gold each expression possesses and they will be given a blueprint from heaven to see how to break out of areas of stagnation and flow again. 

The Pen // The Scribe

The pen encompasses the Scribes, songwriters, psalmists, authors, policy writers, and those who carry the word of the Lord through their creative or administrative gift. 

I saw a pen lighting up the sky with words of fire and so it will be in this hour that those who carry the anointing of the scribe will light up the sky and draw the world to Jesus through their anointed words. Psalmists and songwriters will suddenly birth songs that the world will call a "revolution" because these songs will expose counterfeits and ignite a desire to encounter God. 

"My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer" Psalm 45:1

We are in a historical season for the body of Christ and more than ever God is raising these prophetic pens in His hand to be messengers and articulators of the Father's heart. 

The Bell // Justice Carrier

Recently we were speaking at a conference in another city of Australia when I had a powerful encounter with the Lord where he took me up in a vision as I was walking around the city at night. Suddenly the bells from the inner city Catholic Church began to ring out their beautiful melody throughout the city. 

The Lord began speaking to me about His bell-ringers in this hour that are not just calling the body to worship and pray but to announce a call for heavenly justice which will release a sound of liberty throughout the lands. 

" Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand" Joel 2:1

Many prophetic voices have spoken about bells in this season because heaven is resounding its message loud and clear " you are my instruments, my vessels of freedom and peace, to administer truth and justice throughout the lands!"  I also perceive that the bell-ringers work in unison with the Lightning Rod. They clear the airwaves where the forces of darkness are in operation and they resound the sound of heaven.

The Bells/Justice carriers arise and let your sound be heard for you are an integral voice and part of the coming awakening.

The Time-piece // Time Keeper

I had a vision about a timepiece much like the one I saw in the toolbox earlier in the year, but what I noticed was that this watch had hands that went forward and backward in an unpredictable way. The Lord reminded me of the sons of Issachar from 1 Chronicles  12:32  who understood the times. What made no sense to me as I looked at this watch was interpretable to those God has gifted with knowing and understanding the times. 

The gift of knowing the times and seasons is valuable because these prophetic time-keepers can sense the changes and shifts in specific epoch season (epoch is a period of time that is a remarkable or noteworthy period of time). The Time-Keepers are gifted with the ability to partner with God in seeing ahead of time what God is doing and preparing to do. Timekeepers help to give their fellow believers in Christ a roadmap that releases clarity to those walking through blind or unknown periods. The timekeepers connect the dots for those feeling lost and hopeless. 

The name Issachar from 1 Chronicles means "there is recompense" and just like the name suggests, Gods timekeepers can see the promise arising from the ashes of the wilderness and speak restoration in the middle of calamity.

Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. Isaiah 58:12

Notice that the above scripture says 'you will raise up age-old foundations'... this is a prophetic picture of the gifting imparted to the Time-Keeper, they are restorers of the breach... which means, whatever does not align with heaven, whatever has been in violation in the natural, the Time-Keepers will have the ability to speak God's Kingdom realm into the current times and watch the two collide as their decrees restore broken foundations and tear down walls of resistance in the heavenlies.

The Telescope // Prophetic Seer

When I asked the Lord about the telescope it was months later before He showed me anything. I was in worship one night when I had a vision where Jesus was handing me a long old wooden box. I opened it to find an old brass telescope laying in navy blue silk. I took the telescope out of the box and extended it, and as I brought it up to my eye I was taken deeper into the vision and saw some specific events for a country that was years away from taking place. 

I believe God was highlighting to me the gift of foresight and long vision. The ability to prophetically see ahead for the sake of warning and guiding the body of Christ. I instantly thought of the late prophet Kim Clement who operated in this gift with such accuracy and purity. Shawn Bolz is also another example of the Telescope, whereby the Father shows him intimate details both past and present pertaining to events or a persons life. I believe it is a gift that is going to emerge more influentially and powerfully than it ever has in the past. 

These prophetic eyes will be shown specific plots and plans ahead of time so they can be foiled and disarmed, prayed into and broken. This gift can be seen in many places in the Bible, for instance, the prophet Isaiah operated under this same gifting, he foretold of Jesus many centuries before his birth. (Isaiah 9:6)

This gifting is also able to perceive what is hidden. 

"None of us, my lord the king," said one of his officers, "but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom." 2 Kings  6:12

The Lightning Rod // Conductors Of Glory

For a whole week, I had recurring dreams of lightning strikes. In one particular dream, a scene played out that reminded me of a scene from the movie, "back to the future," where the lightning struck the clock before sending Marty back to the future. The next morning the Lord began to show me that He is raising up lightning rods around the world that would be conductors of His power and glory, and as the lightning of heaven hit them they would transport the church out of the past and into the future. 

I was also reminded how when lightning hits, many times it shorts the power system shutting down power to whole cities and regions. In that same way, these lightning rods would short the system of the kingdom of darkness, and take back territory from the long-standing oppressive principalities over regions and cities. The Lightning Rod works alongside the Bells. Where the bells clear the airwaves, the Lightning Rod claims back the air - this is a representation of spiritual strongholds over atmospheres and regions. Together, the Bells and the Lightning Rods co-labour with heavens armies to restore what belongs to heaven. 

Lightning rods are positioned at a high altitude at all times and perceive and sense what many others do not. They are poised to strike and recover, and we will see many of these heavenly conductors transfer back the rights and ownership of stolen and usurped regions and places around the world. 

Stewarding The Gifts

Did any of these prophetic giftings register in your spirit? Did any give clarity about the expression that God has been nurturing inside of you? Maybe you knew God was doing something in you but you were not sure what or why. So the question is, how do you steward these gifts? Here are two simple points I have learned from my own life in discovering how to steward what He gives me.

Presence Over Position

I believe like any gift given by the Father, it grows through worship and time with Him in HIs presence. The key here is simply this: don't search out the gifts in His hands, seek His presence first and foremost. I have personally seen how this simple attitude of worship in everyday life grows the gift. Your ability to hear and understand grows in this space of relationship because the Father desires communion and relationship with us above anything else. His presence also keeps the gifts pure and He adds to us from the posture of sitting at His feet. 

Take Risks/ Act Upon It

Learn to take risks with the Holy Spirit as your guide. One of the best ways to steward your prophetic gifting is by not keeping it bottled up, but to take it out into the marketplace of your everyday life. The parable of the talents describes this perfectly, whereby those that made risks with the gifts that were given to them, more gifts were given besides, but the one who buried the gift, even that gift was taken from him.

Learn to invite the Holy Spirit along with you as you go to work, pick up the kids from school or change nappies, listen for His voice as He guides you. For example, If your gift is the Prophetic Seer, you may hear the Holy Spirit show you something about someone else's life when you're simply doing the grocery shopping. He may invite you to speak a word of life and encouragement over their hidden situation. Or perhaps you are the Justice Carrier and you hear the Holy Spirits whisper to pray and decree justice and life over a particular home that you drive past every day. These are simple examples, that as you learn to respond and lean into His guidance, you will see His favor increase over the prophetic gift and calling upon your life in powerful ways.

I see that many people in the body of Christ have felt lost, displaced, rejected, used, and confused, but you need to know that your greatest hour is upon you! God has been preparing you for your assignment and shifting you into position for your most effective season of impact! Break out from the hurts of your past and allow God to move you into position as Gods mighty warrior on the earth!

Last night I had an intercessory dream where I began to say "Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! God, bring out the wild ones who have been in hiding. Bring out those who have been in death, those who feel like it's all over for them. Those who have been counted out, those who have been assassinated, those who have been robbed, plundered, and destroyed. God, bring out those who feel like they are being decommissioned. Bring out those who feel unclean. Bring out those who feel cast out and rejected from the church. Bring out those who have been silenced, muzzled, and voiceless, God, and anoint them! Put hot coals on their tongues!" Suddenly, the scripture Luke 4:14 came before me - “He came out of the wilderness in the power of the Spirit." And I knew in my spirit that this intercession was for the changing of the guard, for those who feel disqualified and broken because of what they’ve walked through, for those who feel like they’ve lost their anointing and strength, like Samson after his hair was cut. Then I continued to pray: "God, bring them out. Bring out the Nazarites! Bring out the new watchmen on the walls for the nations. Bring out the prophets and the intercessors, the apostles, the evangelists, those who have been in hiding, bring them out!" And I felt the Lord say that it was time for these hidden ones to come out of their season of wilderness warfare and torment, and they were going to come out with a fresh, hot coal on their tongues, to speak a fresh word of the Lord into this current moment in time. Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I began to hear the intercession of the saints. I could hear the tongues - a mighty roar rising from a generation that had been silenced and quenched for so long. I began to feel the birth pangs of the nations coming to a finality - a tipping point. This intercession felt like the midwife prayers of an impending birth of the nations in the earth. It was a prayer over the church, calling her to become the pure, spotless bride she was meant to be. I could feel the intercession of agreement with long forgotten words spoken over nations, cities, and regions, for revival, for reformation, for Jesus to be revealed in the earth. Then I began to cry out: "Lord, come! Lord Jesus, come!" Then suddenly, the prayers of the saints rose up in unity, crying out together: "Yes, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus, come!" I believe i had this dream because God is raising up a battlecry from the John the baptist, wilderness voices that are coming out of hiding to take thier post as the watchman of the hour and the fresh sound in the earth declaring “Prepare ye the ay of the Lord! So to the wilderness voices, maybe you’re feeling this. Maybe you've been through a season of robbery and wilderness - a season where it feels like you've been removed from your calling. But this is the season where God is bringing you back! He is placing a hot coal on your tongue! So if that is you today, I want to speak and prophesy over you: The hot coals are coming. You're about to feel a fresh unction. You're about to feel a fresh flow. And out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water in Jesus’ mighty name!

While the nations are in the pangs of birth right now, upheaval, chaos, and major transition, so is the church and so are you... True revival requires messy. It’s the oxen in the stable that disrupts man’s tidy plans that exclude the move of the Spirit, and shatters the veils of culture’s desensitization. And you are there right now. In the messiest of messy seasons, not because you failed but because you ASKED FOR IT. You cried out for breakthrough. You cried out for restoration. You cried out for the more of the Lord. Messy personal revival upsets the rhythms of your life that are no longer moving you forward but instead are keeping you stuck. Messy revival breaks ties and contracts and bondages you have been under that have been putting a ceiling over you and quenching your fire. Messy revival exposes the snakes in the grass and the places of robbery that have been depleting you and shifting your focus. Messy revival moves you out of limiting environments and causes you to long for wide open fields again. Messy revival brings a discontent for any sliver of complacency and religion you have tolerated. Messy revival brings death to everything in your life that is an obstruction to the “greater” God is wanting to pour out. Messy revival confronts and administers healing balm to places to deep seated trauma and pain keeping you in “medication” mode and staying in your sick bed. Messy revival redirects, corrects your steps, recalibrates, and sets your feet on the right path. Messy revival opens your eyes to where you have even in survival mode and going through the motions. Because messy revival comes primarily to set you on fire so you BURN again after years of warfare and walking through endless battlefields. And messy revival is here because God knows who you really are and what you are called to step into in this new season. It re-mantles you, leads you to surrender old manna and burn the old plow, renews your youth like the eagles, and restores the joy of your salvation. Do you feel it?

I woke up with John 11:11 on my heart this morning; “After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” I’m highly aware that God is awakening many right now that have been through the intensity of years of hard battle. It can break you. Dismantle your faith. Crush your courage and distinguish your fight and fire for the Lord over time. It can even feel like it’s de-commissioned you. But right now in a short period of time the Holy Spirit is dealing with the past seasons STUFF.. I wrote this, this morning; God sees your process and he isn’t rushing you right now. You have walked through alot and seen alot. Your heart has been through 20 years in 4 years so give yourself space to let Him revive you and reinvent you. Give Him room to clean out the hope deferred and cobwebs of the past seasons. Right now it’s all coming to the surface and He is tenderly scooping it out and breathing life back into your lungs. Soon you’ll wake up no longer feeling heaviness, anxiety, and deep unshakeable weariness, but it will feel like a valve was just flipped on the inside of you and out of your belly rivers will flow again. You’ll feel the pain and hardship of this past season and the toll it took on you mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually begin to lift as God OVERHAULS you in a short period of time. It’s an Ezekiel 37 - army of dry bones moment and it’s necessary so you don’t stay in your sick bed but are revived back to full health. Is this what is going on in you? There are great days ahead for you.. lean in and let the finished work complete the job. Can we pray for you this week? This is what He is doing; “who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:5 Lord I pray that you would renew their youth like the eagles! Restore the joy of their salvation! Bring that back into full health and joy in Jesus name!

This week's prophetic insight speaks to the current clash of kingdoms between those warring for legacy and the Jezebel spirit trying to hold onto its ground in a time of exposure and eviction on all levels. It’s a word of hope for those who have been on the journey with the Lord to break into a greater level of authority and victory over the enemy's schemes in this time we are living in. So let me start here: I believe this is a season in which the Lord is calling us into a higher place of spiritual intelligence and to take back the reins on the earth. They have been in the wrong hands. I believe this is a season when the Lord is giving back His power to the Church, but right now, God is dealing with the house of Ahab. The house of Ahab has robbed the Church of power and authority, which is why we have seen a recession of signs and wonders. The Church has been run by Ahab, but God is removing Ahab, and the drought will break over our lands. We will enter a season of glory once again. In an atmosphere of glory, power will return to the church. Signs, wonders, and miracles will be restored because, in an Ahab system, there is a brass-ed heaven. In this season, we have seen this brass covering over the Church, a ceiling caused by what we have allowed to rule there. But God is now dealing with the house of Ahab, and as He does, the Church will enter a realm of supernatural clarity and flow we haven’t seen in years. But how does this happen? FOR THE BLOODLINE BREAKERS There are people God has been raising up - His bloodline breakers. A generation - young to old whom God has called to break generational curses in their own lives, marriages, and families in a culture of acceptable Jezebel-ic influence and narcissistic dominance. But the purpose of God calling you, your family, and your marriage into this isn't just for your sake. While God is certainly working in your life, the most integral part of your divine calling is LEGACY. How do we establish legacy? We establish a legacy by breaking the dysfunctions and toxic patterns of the past that have seeped into our family lines, shaping the way we think, act, and engage with life. These dysfunctions are inherited not only from biological parents but also from spiritual influences. God has been working in your life, but there is a far greater reason: He is doing this for the church. God knew you could not break a corporate bloodline unless you first broke a personal one. You could not be a Jehu for a generation unless you were first a Jehu for your family. Does this make sense? Right now, I believe God is bringing decades of battling the Jezebel and Ahab spirits to a head. Many of you have been fighting this war in your personal lives, which is manifesting in various circumstances. Some of these may make you feel you have lost as if you've been through a warzone and have come out worse for wear. But let me assure you, it all will be worth it. This year, you will begin to notice that the battles you once fought are losing their steam. Why? Because whether you see it or not, you have stepped into your role as a Jehu for your family. Your strength has increased, and your spiritual muscles have grown. The Word of God says in Leviticus 21:15, "So that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am Yahweh who sets him apart." You have been set apart for this! Do you see it? Well done for battling all these years because it’s now coming to a head! Well done for being a Jehu for your family. You are now stepping into a season where you will witness the fruit of what God has done through your life, not only personally but in a corporate context. Did you know that the word of the Lord came to Jehu to annihilate Ahab and his sons? (2 Kings 10) We are witnessing this unfold. It wasn’t just about Jezebel; it was about dismantling an entire system. Jezebel created a subtle but powerful force, not only through her daughter Athaliah but also through an Ahab army, a mindset that would permeate the culture of the Church and dominate the world stage. In 1 Kings 21, Jezebel killed Naboth to get his vineyard for Ahab. When I think of the vineyard, I think of revival, the Jesus People Movement, and the place Lonnie Frisbee called a refuge. But Naboth’s name means "prophecies and words." Jezebel knew that if she could steal the prophetic voice of the Church, she could take the vineyard, and we would have to lean on man’s ways. That is where Ahab stepped in—a palatable form or derivative of Jezebel that would infiltrate the Church and establish idols of compromise and error. This is what the Church has seen for so long. That's why you've been on a take-back mission in your own life: to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab so you can be ready to be a Jehu, slaying the Ahab spirit and regaining the prophetic voice in your life and the Church. I’m saying this because right now, look at the battle in your family and the Church. It’s a battle for the future of our families and the future of the Church. Breaking out of the dysfunctions of Ahab’s system and beginning the vineyard again. By the way, this doesn't mean coming against people. It's coming against a spirit that has permeated culture. And that's been your take-back mission, to restore your bloodline and also to step into a place of being a Jehu that will restore the Bloodline of the Church. I want to be bold and say you're about to step into your shoes as a Jehu for your generation. You have pioneered well, and you have walked the hard road of not tolerating Jezebel. You are taking back your voice in the places it's been muzzled. This is why you have been on a mission to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab. First, to reclaim the prophetic voice in your own life, and then, to be a Jehu to restore the prophetic voice in the Church. LEAVING THE ESCAPE ROOM Now, let me speak to you about inheritance for a moment. Many of us have inherited the fruit of Ahab in our families and churches. It's permeated culture, and we've inherited its fruit. Yet we have been given the task of stepping out of that culture, stepping out of that mindset, and beginning to replace the fruit, replacing the root systems in every area of our lives that we've become used to. It's even been normalized in the Church. But let me say this very clearly: The Lord is bringing us out of our imprisonment. God is giving us the true inheritance that we are meant to have received through the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Just a few days ago, the Lord spoke to me while I was driving, “It’s time to leave the escape room.” There is a very popular activity that people do called an Escape Room. They are locked in this room and must look for clues and keys to help them ‘escape’ before an allotted period of time. What was God saying? He wanted to paint the picture to me that our generation, young and old, have been on a quest to find the keys to break this demonic culture that has been killing our families and society. For us to unlock the prison doors once and for all! We've been pioneers of this revolution to break the bloodlines of what's been acceptable and normal in the nations and our families and bring it back to a biblical standard in our churches. God gave me this phrase because we have been in an escape room. We've been in this place that has felt contained, this place that's felt like a war room, a battleground. It's like we've been in this place where we've been contending for so long because we know there HAS TO BE MORE than what we have seen or been handed! It’s where people have said, “I’m tired of seeing suicide and addiction rob my family! I’m tired of seeing divorce! I’m over seeing moral failures and perversion!” So we're looking for keys, we're looking for clues. We're looking for those things to break out of that place. And in our nations, we see abortion-to-birth laws passed and gender confusion, to name a few. All these different things that are constantly going against God's plan and design. And there's a generation who were born right now to say, “God, that is not your plan or design for my nation or my city. Give me the key. Give me the key!” And I want to prophesy to you that we are in a season that the Lord is giving us the keys to break out of that escape room for our families and for this generation!
 We are in a period of time where God has given the keys to the house of David back to the Church. That is why God had to shift the Ahab culture that has been permeating every facet of our lives. It's so that David can get back the keys. And when David takes back the keys, the door of that escape room swings wide open. And we are no longer receiving the inheritance of that confinement and imprisonment. We're no longer receiving the inheritance of an Ahab culture but rather the inheritance of the Davidic line and the finished work of the cross of Christ. So let me say this again: you are coming out of that place; you are coming out of the escape room right now. Do you see it in all the things God's been doing in your life? He has been confronting all areas of bondage in your life. He's been pulling, prodding, and shaking things upside down because he wants to set you free in you r finances and your health. We have to leave the escape room of man's methods where we are constantly trying to do things to break ourselves out of what God can only break us out of and what the blood of Jesus could only break us out of. And right now, the Blood is speaking a better word over us. We are in a revolution of the blood of Jesus where it's breaking that which has felt unbreakable and where you've said, “God, you could never heal that person of that Jezebel spirit. You could never set them free of that addiction.” But in this season, because of your contending and your prayer, God is breaking them free, setting you free, and setting your nation free right now. Can you see it on a global scale right now, too? Where there is shaking, things are coming to the surface; things are being resolved and exposed on high levels because God is shaking the earth upside down. The glory is revealing that which needs to be broken out and exposed, and the light of God is shining; it’s shining into those places because God is bringing the gold to the surface. In this hour, the glory of God is being revealed to us and through us. LANDING PADS & OPEN DOORS So, in this season where the Lord is leading and summoning the Church out of dysfunction and out of those escape rooms, he's revealing greater revelation on what we have been battling for so long. What we're going to see in the days ahead is essentially a lot of spiritual assignments unmasked. And what this is going to look like in many ways is even doctrine and areas of beliefs that we've had that have sadly, for many, been foundational and cornerstone beliefs that we, as Christians, have believed; certain things that we've accepted and ingested. We're going to see many of these things unmasked as counterfeits and demonic assignments. The smoke and mirrors battle of our age has been demonic assignments trying to lead us to false virtues, false fathering, false comforts, false accountability, false covering, all those things that look like the right and authentic thing, but they're just counterfeits. They fall short. They're plastic. And so, we're about to see the revealing of these spirits for what they truly are, and in that, the Lord will then bring the Church up to a higher place of understanding who they are and their authority. That can only come by experiencing the genuine and authentic thing. So, as these spirits are unmasked, it will help us understand, and we'll have a greater awareness of the spiritual realm, the mechanics of the spiritual realm, and an understanding of what we are dealing with. We can't keep going into a church, sitting in the pews, and having a cushy Christian experience when there's a dying world out there. And you can't keep being robbed in your marriage, your finances, and your health on a weekly basis, paying your tithes, and going home to brokenness and chaos. No, those days are coming to an end. But the area that I want to highlight to you in this unmasking is what the Lord's been speaking to me as: landing pads and open doors. He's highlighting to us through all this shaking, where we ourselves have actually been landing pads to the enemy's plans, keeping us in further bondage personally and corporately. In 1 John 14:30, Jesus said this powerful scripture: “I don’t have much more time to talk to you because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me.” Some other versions say, “he has nothing in common with me.” You see, when there's nothing inside you that resembles or looks like the enemy, he has no power over you. That means you are no longer a landing pad for the enemy. And so, the Lord said to me last week, “Nate, I am removing the landing pads in your life from the enemy!” What I'm seeing is that we're coming out of an era of battling that Jezebel spirit and the Ahab spirit, but in that, God is actually revealing the landing pads and open doors in our lives, enabling them access. I'm talking personally about where we have things in common with that spirit, where we have things that actually cause us to be landing pads for those things. We are coming to a place of complete victory over those spirits. But in order for that to happen, God had to expose the commonality in us with those spirits and reveal the other faces of how this has manifested in culture in the Church and the world around us. For instance, to make this practical right now, we are seeing two faces of Jezebel. For so long, we've said, Jezebel wants to silence you. Jezebel wants to muzzle you. Jezebel wants to intimidate you. Jezebel wants you to be in fear for your life because we look at the passage of scripture about Elijah running into the cave. But did you know there's another face to Jezebel? That there's also the side of Jezebel that wants to lure you into speaking out of turn? Into being a bitter, angry, venom-spitting voice? It’s where Jezebel puts on a different face and, instead of muzzling voices, seeks to raise up voices with the wrong spirit. It’s sneaky because it looks like God’s heart... from a certain angle. It’s cunning because it plays on the pain and experiences of the hurting Church. But it doesn’t carry His heart. That is why Elijah had to go into the cave and be refreshed in his awareness of the voice of God and the mantle that he carried; otherwise, his pain and his fear would've sent him out of that place and deviated from his calling. Does this make sense? God, right now, is dealing with the landing pads and the triggers and the open doors we've had in our lives. He's destroying the commonality that we've had so we can step out of pioneering and contending for breakthroughs and legacy and finally taste it! So even right now, give the Lord any areas in your life, the landing pads and the places of commonality that you've had with the enemy, forgive those you need to forgive, and give God the pain and the wounds of the past. And lastly, let me say this. THANK YOU for walking this narrow road. It’s not been easy, and it’s been costly when so many are choosing to walk in the dysfunctions they  inherited and have leveled oj, choosing not to fight to break free. But you have stood and contended, like Hannah who was barren...you stood. Like Ruth, you stood. Like Jacob, you have wrestled with the promise even when it looked bleak or as if it had failed. But now, you will see the fruit of this long battle and lead others into the same legacy.
