A WORD FOR AUSTRALIA - DREAM OF THE FALLING TOWERS

A WORD FOR AUSTRALIA - DREAM OF THE FALLING TOWERS

I have a word for the nation of Australia, but I also speak prophetically about what many are experiencing personally. For this purpose, I have split this word into two parts to ensure the two are distinct. You can find the second word here at: https://nateandchristy.co/for-those-in-a-ground-zero-moment

The night after we flew into Australia, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw two towers in the middle of the Outback of Australia, towering through the clouds, when suddenly they came crashing down, one after the other.

Then, I was taken into another scene. In the place where the towers were, people were weeping at the site—then I heard "ground zero." This felt the same as the ground zero site in New York City, and like the physical site, I saw masses gathering around the destruction and weeping and travailing over the fall of these towers.

But then I yelled out, "The days of weeping are over, Australia. The time of mourning has come to an end. For now, out of the ashes shall come the great end-time move of God that was prophesied!"

Australia, you have been in a great shaking, and the towers of man's movements have come crashing down. The days of empires have come to an end, and the era of the ecclesia has come. When I woke up, I began thinking about how this could represent actual empires or movements that had crashed and fallen, but then two words came into my spirit—religion and apathy.

The two towers that are falling are the towers of religion and apathy. Two demonic assignments that have been given a high place in our nation.

Religion, to enslave us and make us feel that we are doing the Lord's work when it's the taming of the wild horses called to be a spearhead in the nations. And apathy, so we don't rise up in the power and awakening of the spirit, and so the nation called to be a breaker and forerunner of revival stays in slumber.

In the last four years, I have seen Australians battle these principalities, but the towers are falling.

THE FALL OF THE EMPIRE ERA IN AUSTRALIA

Yes, the Lord is raising up the warrior bride in this nation in a time of holy war. The family is coming back. The institution has lost its hold over Australia.

Self-seeking empires no longer hold a monopoly or sway over the nation. "For in this hour, I am leading my church back to her roots, says the Lord."

"I am waking Lazarus up, and he is taking off the grave clothes of an era of oppression and spiritual death."

Australia, the enemy, tried to make you a laughing stock in the nations. Muzzling you, shutting you up in your homes, enforcing the most legalistic laws upon you, and bringing the Church into subjugation.

The enemy tried to send you into a coma. But I prophesy that Your hibernation is over! The days of only barely surviving are over. For you have said, "We are Aussie battlers, and when times get tough, we know how to hunker down, but your days of hiding and surviving are over.

The Aussie battler mindset is breaking, and you are becoming the Aussie warriors that I called you to be, says the Lord. It's time to wake up from your sleep, Lazarus.

It's time to shake off the death sentence the enemy gave you, your health, your marriage, and your calling. You must leave the pews of environments that have kept you asleep at a time when you are meant to come alive.

YOU ARE IN A GROUND ZERO MOMENT

Many Australians feel that we are at ground zero as a nation and personally. The Lord showed us the depths of pain, anguish, and loss many have been carrying. We have felt the depths of loss and grief surrounding people. Loss of loved ones. Financial ruin. Bad reports over health. Marriages in crisis. Prodigal children, and death to many destinies and callings.

You are indeed at a ground zero moment, but I feel like I have a booming message in my spirit—Australia, you have never been more riper than you are now. People have their eyes fixed on America, but Australia is the secret weapon the enemy and other nations were not expecting. Convict nation. Easily controlled. Followers. The enemy has said.

Wild and free. Potent. Pioneers. The tip of the spear. Underestimated. The apple of my eye. My David company, The Lord says.

You have been knocked down many times, but you keep getting back up again. This season marks the dawning of a new day and a new beginning.

Do not grieve that you are at ground zero because this is where the Lord rebuilds you just as he rebuilds this nation. Your seed has fallen to the ground and died. Your promises have fallen to the ground.

And now you are left feeling soul sick and hopeless, but now says the Lord, I will TURN this nation around and turn your life around. For in the place of death and destruction shall come the greatest breakthrough season and outpouring.

THE BATTLE OF "BRANDS" DAYS ARE OVER

Australia, The days of battling each other and building your own kingdoms are over. The days of being a collective voice - many different parts as one are here.

It's the wild horses running together as one, not separately, where we are open to error, attack, and the narcissistic kingdom approach. We can't do franchise Christianity anymore. We can't do Saul's ways of kingdom where covering is elevated over covenant, all the while killing our own.

Pyramid scheme church is not the building method of the future.

As I was praying recently, I saw ACC turn into ACTS. The Lord is saying to the ACC-movement that a fresh wind is here if you will receive it. Will you choose my spirit over church-building methods? Will you lay down your plans like Samuel again for what I want to give you?

For if you do, you will become the Church of acts again and lead my Church forward. Will you Transition into the new or stay stuck in the old?

REVIVAL IS KINDLING

For many have said, "Australia, you are asleep. You aren't ready for revival. But there have been a remnant who have been filling up their lamps with oil and have contended. They have not relented or fallen asleep but are waiting for their moment. People have said Australia is dry, but all the dry wood needs is a spark, and it becomes a wildfire.

And I see wildfires sweeping this nation—homes of gatherings where the topic of Jesus and the most broken are invited to the table. Yes, true revival is kindling even in the midst of so much headache and brokenness. I'll say it again - Australia you are more ready than you know.

THERE IS A NEW WAVE HITTING THE SHORES

Look, do you see it? In the midst of the greatest season of shaking, there is a new wave approaching the shores of Australia. You felt like you missed the last one. But this one, you won't.

This is the wave of the fresh move of the spirit that is coming to usher in the greater glory season. Church, as usual, won't be possible ever again.

Leaders will have to choose between old manna and the humility and surrender that invites His glory.

THE DEATH OF THE TALL POPPY SPIRIT

Australia, this is a season in which I am rebranding you both personally and as a nation, the Lord says. For too many decades, you have had to battle the tall poppy spirit that has sought to cut you down and enlisted you to cut down your brothers and sisters, but those days are over.

For now, I am going to end that assignment once and for all by raising a generation of mothers and fathers who will break the orphan spirit that has kept this land bound. Aussies, it's time to REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!

Other believers are not your enemy. You can stir up so much strife and witchcraft against each other through minor disagreements of methods or territorial mindsets that you can be pulled away from doing real kingdom. Battling each other is not doing kingdom. It's an orphan spirit.

You can't keep getting swept up into a leviathan agenda that twists words against each other and Brings a brassed heaven in your city.

Do you want revival? Bless each other. Pour into each other.

PROPHETS - THIS IS NOT YOUR NAZARETH

When we left Australia years ago, I said to the Lord, Australia is my Nazareth; it has chewed me up and spat me out. Then I said, "When will true apostles and prophets be welcome in their homeland? And the Lord said to me, "When their ships of religion run aground, they will no longer reject my prophets, but they will seek them out."

So the prophets had been in hiding here, silenced here, or taken their voices overseas. But recently I had a dream where I saw an American Eagle and an Australian Eagle together. And the Lord said to me, "Your days of speaking just to America are over. I am raising an Eagle company in Australia because the ship has RUN AGROUND."

The next day, Therese Engle gave me a painting of two eagles, one of which was given to her by a First Nations woman in New Mexico. One was the American bald eagle, and the other was the Australian wedge-tailed eagle.

Prophets in the house, you need to rise. War eagles, this is your time.

Shake off the muzzle of Jezebel!

The Church needs your voice!

First Nations voices rise up!

And watch as even pharaohs seek you out to interpret the dream that saves a nation from famine. I heard the Lord say OWN IT JOSEPH. STOP APOLOGIZING FOR IT JOSEPH!

You keep dumbing down your voice and apologizing for what I give you. But it's time to shake off the fear of man once and for all and be the voice I have called you to be.

WILD BRUMBIES

I have a word for the wild brumbies... It's time to leave obscurity. Brumbies are the descendants of escaped or lost horses, dating back in some cases to those belonging to the early European settlers. You have escaped a religious environment, been rejected from one, and lost yourself along the way..

But it's now time to join the fight for our nation.

Like the light horseman of the battle of Beersheba in 1917, you know there is a call in you to push through the opposition both internally and globally and be the breaker God has called you to be. Just as those 800 lighthorsemen charged over the desert plains that early morning, breaking the defense of the city and taking it back, you have a calling to go before the rest of the Church and take back what has been stolen personally and globally.

Take back the wells.

You can't be tamed anymore. You can't hide anymore. You can't apologize anymore. When we bumped into Lou in 2018 he told us how Australians go ahead of the pack to clear the way. Australia you are the wild brumbies called to rise up and clear the road preceding this great move of God.

Will you rise up, or will you hide?

Will you appease the current system or build the new? Will you be silent or be the voice of the one crying in the wilderness?

No more compromises.

No more selling your birthright for acceptance.

You are Jeptha from Judges 11, who was the captain of a band of outcasts who saved a nation. This is your moment.

A NEW ANZAC ALLIANCE

For in this hour, I am breaking the illegitimate handshakes that have been made by people in power and leadership that I didn't ordain, and I am setting a new alliance of a pure-hearted company that seeks only to build my house, says the Lord. This is the alliance of the new Anzacs - the remnant in our nations coming together as one again.

It's time for my wild horses to rise again and the nation of Australia to leave the tomb and be the fresh song and sound that rides the wave of revival and impacts the nations.

WE ARE IN A ROOTS MOVEMENT MOMENT

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025

I heard the Lord say: This is a roots movement. This is a moment where I have humbled my Church not to punish her, but to heal her. To purify her. To prune her for the coming harvest. My Church had grown accustomed to the bloom, the fruit, the outward beauty and what man sees, celebrates, and calls success. But right now, my glory is resting on what looks ordinary. What looks unpopular. Even what appears ugly or overlooked. Man says it’s about charisma. About the lights and smoke machines. About loud worship and grandeur. But my glory in this hour is resting on the grassroots, the simple, the foolish. On that which looks like a seed, small, buried, and unseen yet saturated by My glory. I’ve looked into the hearts of My people. I’ve seen a deep longing for what is real. For what is authentic. For what draws them back to Me not a performance, but an encounter. Not hype, but holy. For too long, My name was exalted in systems that celebrated man’s wisdom, man’s comforts, and man’s movements. But now, their brokenness is leading them back on unfamiliar paths toward what looks small, humble, and unthreatening. And yet it is pregnant with promise. That place you’ve overlooked is where I’ve hidden the seeds of My next great outpouring. A place people will say, “Surely revival can’t come from there.” But that is exactly where My Spirit is about to be poured out. I’ve chosen a people who have chosen the low road. Those who refuse to chase platforms or prestige. If you choose the low road, My Spirit will get the glory. If you humble yourself in this season if you choose the way few choose you will experience personal revival. You will see the fulfillment of the promises I made over nations. But it starts with the roots. Can you not see? I’ve been cutting back the tree. I’ve been stripping away the opulence because it came, and My glory lifted. The spectacle increased, but signs and wonders diminished. Man became too familiar with My anointing, relying on giftings instead of My Spirit. He who has ears, let him hear: I am doing a new thing in this hour, but it won’t look like what you’re used to. I’m bringing My Church back to its roots. Back to Acts. Back to the place of birth where it was messy, but it was beautiful. And right now, many are feeling the tension. You can feel the pull into something new, but it feels like your branches are being cut back. Some feel like nothing more than a stump, a root in the ground. But from that root will grow something powerful if you let Me water you. If you let Me tend to you. I’m uprooting the weeds and tares from past seasons things that have choked your family, your calling, your mind, your marriage. I’m clearing the soil so that what grows next will be healthy, sustainable, and lasting. I’ve brought My Church low so that what is planted now will remain for generations. This is not the end. This is a rebirthing. You will experience My glory again, says the Lord. So if you feel lost…if the doors are closing…if your resources are drying up…if you’re staring at impossible debt or deep lack… know that I am there. -I am in the midst of your marriage. -I am in the midst of that prodigal child. -I am in the midst of your finances. -I am in the midst of your health. The enemy has lied to you, but I am taking an ax to the root of those lies. Not to destroy your life but to prune it. To cut back what was killing you. To free you from generational cycles and mindsets that have left you worn out and barely holding on. I am bringing you into wholeness. I am bringing you into freedom. Can you not see it? And here is My call to the Church: -If you will prepare a place for Me to dwell… -If you will come low… -If you will humble yourself… I will come. And the people will come. The broken will come. The world that is truly searching for Me will come. Roots movements are beginning to burst forth across the earth. They look like Davids in the field unnoticed, uninvited, seemingly insignificant. Yet they carry My glory. Soon, they will grow. And the world will recognize their fruit and like the pearl in the field many will give away everything to buy the field. The hidden ones will emerge to join the song of the lamb. And they will become dispensaries of My presence where healing, signs, wonders, and the fresh and mighty outpouring of my spirit will flow!

I'M GOING TO TURN IT AROUND!

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025

Are you facing a bleak situation right now? A bad report? I feel an unction from the Holy Spirit to prophesy over those standing in the middle of what looks like impossible right now. It might be health issues, financial breakdown, family chaos, mental exhaustion and more. Let me prophesy….It’s going to turn around. You know those moments in life where you’re under pressure, crushed, confused, out of options? You’ve prayed, fasted, cried… and still, nothing shifts? And then out of nowhere, God speaks. We had one of those moments today. A family member was in surgery and everything began falling apart. It didn’t look good. In fact, it looked hopeless. Panic hit me at first so I cried out, “Lord, I need you. I don’t know what to do.” And suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord thunder in my spirit “It’s going to turn around!” At that exact moment, I glanced at my phone - it was 11:11. The Holy Spirit reminded me of John 11:11: “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.” Notice that J esus didn’t call Lazarus “dead” even though everyone else did. He called him asleep because He saw the turnaround before it came. He spoke life into a situation everyone had already given up on. In the natural, Lazarus was gone. But in the spirit, heaven had a different word. And I believe God is saying to many of you; “What looks dead is only sleeping and I’m about to wake it up.” Just like the young girl in Mark 5, when they told Jesus she was dead, and He said, “She is not dead, she is only sleeping.” He spoke a word that contradicted the room. And I feel right now that heaven is interrupting your crisis with a contradictory word: “It’s going to turn around.” Like in Zephaniah 3:19–20 which declares: “In the end I will turn things around for the people… I’ll get rid of all those who’ve made your life miserable. I’ll heal the maimed; I’ll bring home the homeless… On Judgment Day, I’ll bring you back home—a great family gathering!” This is your Psalm 126 moment: “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter…” — Psalm 126:1–2 That moment when sorrow turns to laughter. Tears to testimony. Confusion to clarity. But here’s the truth: I know many of you are weary. You’ve been through years of warfare, setbacks, disappointments. And you have had some unexpected situations rise and you’re wondering, “Do I even have the strength to stand in this one?” You feel like you’re out of fight. You’re tired of pushing. Tired of prophesying with no fruit. Tired of trying to make things move In your own strength. You’ve thought, “Maybe I should just roll over. Maybe I should stop contending. It’s too much.” But I feel the Lord tell me to send this word out to hold up your arms today. This word is not just encouragement. It’s a prophetic act. Like Aaron and Hur holding up Moses’ arms in battle (Exodus 17:12), I’m lifting yours right now in the Spirit and I am declaring over you: The battle is shifting. Remember 2 Kings 6, when Elisha’s servant woke up and saw their city surrounded by enemy armies? Fear took over. But Elisha prayed: “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. —2 Kings 6:17 I pray the same for you today: Lord, open their eyes. Let them see what You’ve already released on their behalf. Let them see that heaven is fighting for them. This is a midweek arm-lifting moment. I declare boldness is returning to your voice. Fire is coming back to your bones. And faith is rising again in your heart. Watch it turn around. Not by might, not by power but by My Spirit, says the Lord. —Zechariah 4:6 But God is not just fixing surface-level problems. He is resetting your foundations. Where the enemy has robbed, God is restoring. Where the locusts have eaten, He is repaying. This is Joel 2:25; “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” So let me say it again - It’s turning around. Even in a short amount of time the suddenly of the Lord is about to visit your situation. That assignment that’s been hovering over you is breaking. That heaviness is lifting. And God will get all the glory In Jesus’ mighty name!
