A PROPHETIC TIMELINE - THE WAR ON YOUR CLOSURE & THE KING TIDE

A PROPHETIC TIMELINE - THE WAR ON YOUR CLOSURE & THE KING TIDE

I want to prophetically help give some language to what you may be experiencing in your journey right now and give a timeline for some of the processes. 


THE KING TIDE & THE SPRING


In the last week or so I have felt such a strong sense that something is brewing and coming. The words that keep coming out of my spirit are “The tide is turning, the tide of the battle is turning, the tide of the new era is here, there is a King tide rolling in!”


I was in worship earlier in the week when had a series of visions. In the first vision I was in a vast wasteland as far as I could see. Then I said “Lord what is the purpose of this?” I could sense the misery people had experienced when they had visited this place. This was the wilderness of the last few years and the drought we have experienced. 


“Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well!” numbers 21:17


Then I saw something in the distance, so I looked and the Lord let me see it. It was a spring bursting out of the ground that was causing the land around it to slowly grow new life. This was the ‘springs in the wasteland’ from Isaiah 43:19;


“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland”


As I was looking at this spring I heard these words in my spirit “We haven’t seen the glory yet but it’s coming!” This of course comes from Roman’s 8:18;


“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” 


The sense I keep getting is that what we are about to see unfold is not like anything we have previously had on our radar or seen before. 


We have talked about this for years - a new wine outpouring season - but I sense it in my spirit, it is upon us! 


THE SHIPWRECK & THE HOLDING PATTERN


Let me ask you, do you feel like you are in a holding pattern right now? 


Does it feel like you are a sitting duck unable to move in any direction? 


We have been in a time of closure and a heart reset and refresh, all so we are ready for what God wants to do next. 


In the next vision I saw a shipwreck sitting in a shallow cove. People were crowding around it, crying and grieving, because the ship was no longer seaworthy or in use. I knew this represented the movements and ministries of the past; and the season that was coming to an end. 


These people just couldn’t let go of the ship, trying to salvage what they could of it instead of letting it be. I thought “There is an assignment of the enemy to keep them in bondage to the old thing!”


We are in a time where God is expiring what is no longer conducive, what doesn’t carry His glory, and also what has been compromised. 


The receding waters season has felt long and has exposed so much of what has been hidden in the past seasons. 


This hasn’t just been a changing of the guard season. This has been a complete purging of the old wineskin that can no longer sustain what God is wanting to pour out. 


But this exposure is not for the sake of condemning anyone but for the sake of preparing for what’s coming. 


There is about to be a dramatic shift from RESET to RELEASE.


THE CRUISE-SHIP: NEW MOVEMENTS BUILT FOR A NEW ERA


Then in the same vision I noticed that a large cruise ship was sitting at a dock not far away. It was brand new and ready for her maiden voyage but the people still could not see it. 


I knew this ship was the new thing God was doing in us; birthing through us movements that would sail the new seas that were surging in. 


Right now movements and ministries around the earth have never been through a more intense shaking and rebirthing. 


Empires have been falling so God can rebirth them with the heart they began with. 


Just like a new ship, there are new names and mandates being handed out. They are carrying fresh vision and a fresh anointing for the hour. 


The sobering message in this is, that unless we forfeit the old vessel - no matter how amazing it has been and how many memories we had in it - we may miss out on what is coming. 


The movements that don’t MOVE with the new flow will just become museums. Services talking about what God did, but not experiencing it in the present. We need to move with the ark! 


These new moments are right now in metamorphosis. It’s that awkward buck teeth and freckles stage of development as many try to figure out what it looks like, sounds like, and what it will be about. 


It’s a process of surrender after feeling so comfortable in a pocket, but there’s so much fruit ready to come from stepping into this unknown. 


THE WAR ON THE YOUR CLOSURE 


This is why you are a threat to the enemy right now, and why it has felt you have been in a never ending battle of demonic opposition all year.


There has been a war on this season of heart surgery and closure, we have been in. The enemy does not like seeing us in the crucible because he knows when we emerge we are dangerous. 


There has been a war taking place as people have been in a crossover season and the changing of the guard. 


He doesn’t want to see you free from the past season - he wants you tied to it, stuck to it, and in bondage. 


Many have been hanging up their boots for the last season and handing over their jacket, car, and keys, and then been met with an opposition they didn’t expect. 


It’s the opposition to growth and promotion God is leading you into that the enemy is afraid of, so he has pulled out every weapon he has in his arsenal to keep you stuck in a repeating loop. 


The enemy wants to keep you stuck in the hallway between what you have left at the cross and the new day dawning. 


He wants to keep you in the brokenness of the shipwreck you left behind and never step onto the new ship being prepared for you. 


The enemy is afraid of your movement and what you carry for this next season of time. 


He is afraid of you unshackled from the religious systems of your last season. 


He is afraid of the anointing that has only increased through the trials and pressing of the last 7 years.


He is afraid that you’ll more into your new destiny door and never fall for his tricks the next time he tries to play them. 


And he is afraid you’ll bring freedom to others along the way. 


I feel the Lord saying that the tide of this battle has turned, because the King tide is rolling in! The very thing the enemy has feared is here and the very thing you lost hope that you would see.


NOTHING can stop what God is doing right now. You may feel warred on every side, pressed, persecuted, and backed into a corner but God is moving in your life in ways you can’t see yet but soon will.


Closure is happening, and a new beginning in heart, environment, and mission is already underway.


For all the taunts and constant attacks, NOTHING has been held back, or prevented that God promised.


Delayed, diverted for a time, but not destroyed.. The tide is coming.


JUNE - SEPTEMBER PROPHETIC TIMELINE


Just as context before I share about the next three months, in a dream many months ago, I saw a timeline where there were three 7 year cycles that connected to one another, from 2015 through til 2036. 


Each of these periods of time were crucial for the body of Christ and each were eras of grace for certain functions, assignments, and roles. Each of these cycles had their own pioneering purpose and mandate from heaven. 


With a seven year cycle - ending in Rosh Hashanah this year - the next three months are more important than you think; in terms of finalising and bringing closure to the last season as we enter the next cycle. 


(I will be sharing a more corporately strategic word on these timelines in the next few weeks) 


So with that said, here are a few prophetic processes you may go through, and I want to highlight them so you recognise them when they appear. 


  • God changing your role, office, or capacity:
  • In the natural this can be job changes or even just life shifting in a different direction. In the spirit this is all about God giving you the oil/anointing you need for the next season. It’s the fresh mantling. 
  • God dealing with your fatigue, trauma, and depletion/toll from the last season: It will come to the surface so you can step into refreshing. 
  • Full circle situations: You’ll find yourself strangely in scenarios and locations where God is getting you to tie up the season by revisiting the beginning. It’s a closure thing. 
  • God dealing with unmet expectations and disappointments. 
  • God asking you to end unhealthily alignments and connections, that are keeping the doors open and letting all the bugs in. You know who and what I mean. 
  • This is a very important one — Dealing with the spiritual assignments that have been after your voice and destiny: It’s time to bring closure by confronting them head on. 
  • Breaking generational holds, control, and ownership. 
  • God surfacing old religious abuses and wounds, and bringing complete healing so you can move on. 
  • This is going to be a time of powerful confrontations with bullying situations where God shuts the door for good. 
  • God bringing vindication and healing to moments of dishonor and betrayal.
  • God asking you to change your plans for His: You may be already in this process, but if not, God will ask you to choose His way over your idea of the way forward. 
  • Entering a new rest: The hustle and upkeep of your busy season won’t be able to compete with the overwhelming sense you are meant to slow down and find the new rythm of the Spirit. 
  • Entering a space of creative freedom you haven’t felt in years. 
  • Landing the plane that has been circling/life in limbo, in-between big decisions and needing clarity: God is going to bring all the up in the air pieces down. 
  • Look for instructions and direction: The confusion has been part of the assignment against you but press in for clear instructions. 
  • Entering a space of creative freedom you haven’t gelt in years. 
  • A time of fresh baptism of fire and intimacy with the Lord. 
  • A time of dreaming again and re-visioning. 
  • God restoring the years that the locust has eaten: I feel this especially in health, joy, and finances. 
  • Beginning to speak a new language, themes, and messages God is preparing for you to carry. 
  • Lastly I will say, If you need to make a huge foundational shift in your life, ministry, or family - do it!

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.
