9 TYPES OF WARFARE YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW

9 TYPES OF WARFARE YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW
WARFARE AGAINST YOUR REST/REFRESHING
WARFARE AGAINST THE CLARITY TO RECEIVE REVELATION, DIRECTION, & BLUEPRINTS 
WARFARE AGAINST YOUR VOICE
WARFARE AGAINST WHAT GOD IS BIRTHING THROUGH YOU
WARFARE AGAINST WHAT GOD IS BUILDING IN YOU
WARFARE AGAINST YOUR HOME
WARFARE TO KEEP YOU FEELING DEFEATED
WARFARE AGAINST YOUR VISION & ABILITY TO DREAM
THE WARFARE OF CONFUSION & EMOTIONAL HACKING
WHY AM I DEALING WITH WARFARE RIGHT NOW?
  • Because you have never been closer to the promise
  • 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 its the only place you can get free/clear.
  • Be armoured 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, or than any pandemic. What is God doing and saying over you right now?

(Before you read this word it's important you know how weighty this felt to me. Waking up from an audible dream and trying to write down everything feels like a flood breaking out and trying to be the pen keeping up. I woke up beyond moved. I felt so raw I could barely function for hours. If I'm honest I don't think I have done this word justice, so I am praying that you too have your own revelation concerning this in the days to come) Grassroots: “not adapted from or added to an existing facility or operation : totally new” “of, relating to, or involving the common people, especially as contrasted with or separable from an elite” Recently the Lord spoke to me in a dream “Nate you are going back to “grassroots” to birth what is coming” “You are going back to the simple, the uncluttered, and the untethered from the systems and methods of man” “My remnant are going to peel back the layers of religion and lead the church back to simplicity again” “For many been living grieved by the compromise, apathy, and mixture of the current institution” “They have been set aside for this purpose but have been deeply discouraged to see that the empires of man still seem to be thriving in a time where the real church needs to rise up” “But In a moment the castles of sand shall fall that are not built upon me” “And in that moment I shall raise up a “faithful priest” a people who aren’t about status and building the tallest tower, but a people who worship me and truly love me” THE TIRED BRIDE “For I have seen my bride, tired, burnt out by the spirit of religion that has taken over the pulpit for decades, enslaved to something that was meant to make her come alive” “But they made it about control and toil for a vision that was not mine” “They made it about bricks and mortar and put families, marriages, and destinies on the altar to achieve it” “And now we have a tired bride that are bitter, in bondage, and need deliverance from a narrative they have been fed their whole lives” “Oh I long to see her rise up, full of joy and free!” “And in this next season I am leading her back to a fresh slate and I will restore joy to her and unshackled purpose will be found there” “I will lead her from the battlefield and heal her wounds” says the Lord. THE CALL OF THE WILD “For many have felt the pull away from the major franchises that have put me in a box and the shift of desire deep inside them” “It’s been uncomfortable and almost unnatural” “But It’s the call of the wild, to the untamed life, the lifestyle of encounter, my voice, and to the fresh beginning again” “It’s the reviving of hearts and the stripping away of the shrouds of religion stealing our childlike passion” “It’s the call back to simple and free” “Simple relationship” “Uncluttered” “Undistracted” “Whole, and no longer scattered, fractured, broken, and battered” OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL “For many are right now leaving the hamster wheel they have been on for years and decades” “They are leaving the cages of building what no longer sounds like me, and their eyes are opening and following my voice again against the multitude of noise from false fathers and Pharisees” “Yes many right now are feeling the pull away to build what is organic and untainted” “They are still in the wrestle of this step because it looks small and insignificant but what starts out small will soon be a movement of epic proportions” “For it will stir up the suppressed hunger and longing of my people and they will recognize that I am no longer moving upon the systems of man” “What they once saw as rebellion they will recognize is a movement of that which is pure” “And my Glory will do the talking as I show up in power and restore a people that have been shipwrecked and tossed around by the seas of culture” DON’T FIGHT IT ANY LONGER “So don’t fight it any longer” “You feel this way because you have responded to my call” “I know you feel naked and raw” “I know you feel unstable and unsure how to step into this fully” “I know you are struggling to see what is ahead but as you surrender daily to the leading of my spirit you will keep choosing what i am building through you” “For this is not only your deliverance but the deliverance of my people who have been put in Ursula’s music box, silenced, tamed, and caged to something she was never meant to be” “It’s time for my Martha church to become Mary again” “Yes, this is a legacy moment for the church” “Her true inheritance awaits. The pure call I gave her and the power and authority she was meant to wield” “So, today I give you permission to rest in me” “To be still” “To untangle yourself from that which brings unnecessary warfare and constant mental bondage”  “I give you permission to go back to grassroots with me” “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” Ezekiel 36:26 “So it will be in that day, that his burden will be removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be broken because of fatness” Isaiah 10:27 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” Isaiah 43:18-19 “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” Isaiah 40:31

I had a dream last night that was so simple yet powerful. In the dream I was with a group of people standing at a large bronze gate waiting to inspect and survey this dream property. “What are we waiting for?” I ask. “The keys to the gate” someone next to me said. Then out of nowhere discouragement broke out and they began to say “This won’t work. It’s past its due date. It didn’t happen and it’s now time to let it go” Suddenly a man in a tattered jacket takes out a thick document and throws it on the ground and walks away In utter despair. They all left In a broken-down truck together leaving me standing there at the gate wondering what I had just witnessed. I felt grieved because it seemed like they had poured their lives into this vision but they just felt done with believing for something that hadn’t come to pass. They were over pioneering and stewarding prophetic words that didn’t come to any level of fruition. I know the feeling. It can be painful and perplexing. As I stood there at the gate I began to have my own moment of despair as it brought up some unfinished dreams and gates that had not been “UNLOCKED” that I had felt that God wanted us to pursue over the years. “Yeh Lord didn’t you say………” “Didn’t you give me all those dreams?” “What about all the prophetic puzzle pieces over the years that lead to this? Now the gate just remains shut?” I slumped to the ground feeling overwhelmed with the feeling of failure and like I had bought a lie and I knew this is what that group that left felt too. Deep hope deferred and soul sickness.. But then the Lord began to speak; “Get up! Get up! Shake off the dust! Pick up your building plans! Pick up the vision that you dropped!” “For I am not a man that I should lie, and I am not one who gives false hope” “I do not give dreams to string you along but to keep you fixed on the vision that I PROMISE TO FULFILL!” “And just as despair and delay is causing my people to let go of what I gave them because the gate seems locked shut, Watch now as I BUST IT WIDE OPEN!” “And this will be a season of SUDDEN PROVISION & DIRECTION to bring to pass what I gave you long ago” “And you will see what has felt at arms reach come into your grasp so you can finally BUILD THE BLUEPRINTS I PUT INSIDE YOU” “For you have said “I can’t go beyond this point without the keys and provision” “And this is why the enemy has assaulted you on every side with lack, loss, debt, red tape and closed doors - so you would go back to survival mode and FORFEIT FAITH” “But you aren’t empty handed and I am not late” “Now watch me FINISH IT!” When I woke up these scriptures came to mind; "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD" Psalms 27:13-14  “This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: will go before you and will level the mountains[ a ]; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name” Isaiah 45:1-3 PRAYER Lord today I am choosing to FIGHT instead of FORFEIT the vision you have given me. Today I am picking them up again and choosing to believe that they are YOUR plans more than mine and that you will fulfil and FINISH them in Jesus' name!

I woke up yesterday hearing the Lord say “ I am DIS-ARMING the STORM!" “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” Colossians 2:15 Then I heard the Lord say; “Tell them that it is now time to enter into the era called TRIUMPH, for I have marked this next season not with relentless losses but with VICTORY” “For in the last season the enemy warred at the church to see if she would fight or run, rise or hide, so he could STOP THEM using the keys I have given them” “But right now I am shaking the church out of the tomb of powerlessness and defeat and giving her back her keys!” “For I have seen my people defeated and feeling like they could never overpower or shift the warfare storm at thier doorstep” “I have seen them so lost in the daily swirl of chatter, witchcraft, and battling low level demons that they haven’t been able to see beyond it” “Have you forgotten that you are the head and not the tail? Above only and not beneath?” “Have you become so accustomed to the view from under the table that you have forgotten that you were given a seat at it?” When did the taunts of Goliath make you lose your victory? “For I have seen your hope dashed in the battle as you have felt like your prayers have fallen and were unheard” “You have felt so beat up that you began to doubt my power and my ability to shift the tide against you” “But in this hour I am DISARMING every assignment against at your mind, your family, finances, and destiny and setting the record straight” “But even better, I am going to do it THROUGH YOU! So get ready as I begin to shake the chains loose and RESTORE YOUR FIGHT!” THE KEYS UNLEASHED “And I am going to teach you how to use the keys I have given you” “And I am going to give you different eyes and a higher perspective to see BEYOND the storm” “And I am going to show you how to effectively disarm the attacks that have come at you daily” “And I am going to give you discernment to see the dynamics, mechanics, reason, and sources of these assignments so you counteract them” “I am giving you the keys to live victorious in a world of many storms and you will learn to soar above them all” TAKING BACK GROUND “It’s time to get back your fight because in your battle weariness you have tolerated the swirl and the attack” “You have tolerated the witchcraft and left your warrior stance in the spirit. Get it back!” “You have begun to hide under your blankets instead of opposing the assignments against you” “So wake up mighty warriors because what you have endured is not the way it will always be” “I know you have become accustomed to a heavy atmosphere and skies of drama but I have called you to clear the air!” “It’s time to release the sound of victory and take back ground!” THE TRUMP CARD OF THE BLOOD “I know the war against you has been next level and has been close to taking you out completely” “I know it has been tempting to give up and hang up your mantle, but now I am going to reveal my hand of victory in your life” “I am going to expose and make a public spectacle of every assignment sent to rob and strip you, uncover you, shame you, and leave you bloodied and beat by the side of the road” “In this season called TRIUMPH I am going to reveal my church as victors and you as my prized champion” “But you have said “How could I possibly come back from this level of loss and defeat?” “And I would say to you “It’s time to see the POWER OF THE BLOOD at work in your life!” “Even right now it’s bringing things into order and delivering you from every plan, attack, tie, demon, and principality sent to kill you before your time. “The blood is the trump card that causes every other power to bow” “So watch now as I begin to turn the tide and clear the storm over your life.

This is a word for the remnant who have been set apart for many years and still have little understanding of: Why you have been set apart. Why you have been rejected and do not fit the current box. Why you are carrying blueprints and language that doesn’t have a place to land yet. In fact even in what many are calling “the new wineskin” you have felt displaced and like you still don't fit. Many of you have been discouraged because you have been waiting for a moment to belong and finally find your kinsmen who carry the same heart and DNA as you. “Lord where are the other remnant?” you have cried out. It has felt like you have entered into 2024 feeling like God is even further SEPARATING you from the pack. “Set apart again? Really?” Yes, we have entered into a season where God is sifting even His remnant, to ready us for the years to come. For even at the tables of the new breed there has been compromise, mixture, and OLD WINE dressed up as new gourds, and the Lord is PROTECTING you from that. Does this mean you will be isolated again? NO! For this is a season where God is rallying and banding the remnant TOGETHER! They will come out of their wildernesses and find those who will not bow to the FAUX WINE MOVEMENTS. It may be a season of greater separation from the old order and the pure, but this time… YOU WILL NOT DO IT ALONE. This will be a season where God is dividing the sheep from the goats, but the sheep won’t be alone anymore. You will find your true herd again. THE NEW GUARD IS BEING APPOINTED I woke up at 2:12 am a few nights ago and felt to look up the book of Micah. “I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob; I will gather the remnant of Israel; I will set them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in its pasture, a noisy multitude of men” Micah 2:12 This was the Lord saying these clear points to us: He is assembling and gathering us - bringing us together as one herd. We will be a LOUD VOICE like a noisy multitude. 2 represents the prophetic house he is building and the division of true and false, old and new. 12 represents Government and the kingdom God is building Then I heard the Lord say, “I am right now choosing my cabinet for the years to come!” “But don’t look to those who look the part, sound the part, and have the credentials, for they did that with Saul, but i will not allow another era of mans government, for i am right now establishing MY KINGDOM built upon the house of David!” Right now we are in a time where God is calling and appointing His movers and shakers for the days to come. He is standing down those who have not stewarded their role well or have been sold out for earthly rewards. He is revealing the cracks in the pavement and bringing in a people who will repair them and build the new thing. And remnant, He is choosing you for this. This is why you have been set apart and God would not allow you to sit at those tables. This is why He kept you in the fire over and over because it was not only the safest place to be but also the place where you would be readied for the summoning to the palace like Joseph. A SAMUEL MOMENT Then the Lord said to me “Tell them that this is a Samuel moment where I call upon them and anoint them for a new post and role” And like Samuel who was born into a time of compromise and where the word of the Lord was scarce, the remnant are being commissioned in an hour where the enemy has tainted the ointment and they will restore the priesthood and the purity of the prophetic office once again. So remnant get ready for dreams. Get ready to be awoken in the night hours as the glory of the Lord visits you and His voice stands you to your feet. And may your response be “Speak Lord for your servant is listening”
