A WORD FOR THE REMNANT - THE SEASON OF FINDING FAMILY & FIGHTING FOR THE FAMILY

A WORD FOR THE REMNANT - THE SEASON OF FINDING FAMILY & FIGHTING FOR THE FAMILY

Remnant, I have a word from the Lords heart for you to encourage you. For the last few months I have sensed that God is getting people into position for new assignments and positions leading into 2022.

I have seen the sudden bursting at the seams of innovation, strategies, and movements to be birthed that have started to erupt after such a battled season of contention and delay.

I have felt the urgency of the hour to begin to build and counteract the demonic games at play in the earth and the desire of the Lord to send His shakers and ground breakers into the hardest mission fields where few dare to go.

We are at a new foundational stage as the army gathers. I see them springing up from the woodworks of life. Many who used to follow the "sheep-herd" are now following the shepherd and have begun their awakening quest to the frontlines.

I have felt this.. but the more I peer into this space with the Lord I keep getting greater clarity of this “deeper” layer and focus on Gods heart that I want to speak into.

THE WAR OF THE HOUR IS AT THE DOORSTEP OF HOMES

Assignments are waiting, yes, blueprints are ready, yes, purpose is being awoken, yes, but what is this foundation that joins all these together that is the main focus on the Lords heart? FAMILY…

Because this move of God right now in its infancy is.. FAMILY, and it’s going to start with families on the frontlines.

Why? Because the war of the kingdom of darkness right now is against the family..

Its been raging to continue aborting and killing our most vulnerable in the womb and desensitize us and tell us it’s ok. It’s been raging to destroy God given Identity and increase gender confusion. It’s been raging to increase the destruction of marriages and safety in the home. It’s been waging to expose children to evil and convince them it’s good, and it’s been raging to remove the FATHER from the picture altogether and send the world into dysfunction and chaos.

PRESERVED & PROTECTED FOR A PURPOSE

It’s been warring to silence and censor TRUTH of Gods heart, morals, and design. And it’s raging to get the church to lay down it’s sword so it doesn’t continue to stand and defend it.

That’s how the world looks right now, but that’s only part of the picture. A REMNANT - a set aside people have been prepared for this very moment.

No, you weren’t left out and cast aside, you were PROTECTED & PRESERVED for this hour.

You have been set apart to be the rudder of the ship leading the church into her correct course, guiding the way, exposing the counterfeit, and revealing the true heart of the Father to the nations.

You have been called to bring Jesus amidst confusion. Where culture has crept in to the pulpit. Where evil is being called good, you are the standard. Where the family is being torn to shreds you stand in the gap and lead your family well. Where injustices are being swept under the carpet you are the weighs and balances. Where nations are falling by the wayside you have a voice and God has reserved you and preserved you for a role or influence in this hour of history.

Micah 5:8 says;

“The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,

    in the midst of many peoples,

like a lion among the beasts of the forest,

    like a young lion among flocks of sheep,

which mauls and mangles as it goes,

    and no one can rescue”

EMERGING FROM THE MESS & METAMORPHOSIS

Remnant… oh remnant, you have been born for such a time as this! Like Esther who separated herself, to purify herself, to surrender her ideals and motives to the at the threshing floor, and pick up the fiery baton of the Kings mandate of the hour. I see you and you look beautiful.

I have seen you wrestle this process the mess of this season. I have seen you fall on your knees a thousand times and want to give up on the hard road you have walked.

I have seen you die a hundred deaths in the fires of adversity and persecution. I have seen you enter the cocoon of the Lords refinery and emerge with new wings. New at first and feeling unsure and still remembering the pain of the past season but carrying new wings none the less. Do you feel them yet? No? You soon will.

You have been In the deepest metamorphosis of your life so far - prepared for a divine purpose that is about to be revealed and all around you are others who have been prepared for this very same thing.

THE JOB REMNANT

Now let me address the ones who felt like they died in this past season. Yes you! I see you. The lord has NOT forgotten you!

I saw you with nothing left yet still hanging onto the threads of Jesus’ garment. I know you have faced countless nights enduring the tormenting voice of the enemy screaming at you to give up and retreat, and you wanted to, but you knew the cost. You knew what was at stake so you stood. Against all odds, you stood.

Remnant, I know the process you have been through. I know it felt final. I know it meant closure on many things that you didn’t understand. I know the door slammed shut and it caught you by surprise.

Those people you wanted to come with you into the cocoon but just weren’t ready to come. They just weren’t at that place and you can’t beat yourself up over it anymore. In fact if you continued with them you would have been unequally yoked and sent further into bondage.

I saw the COST of this season has been more than all your life’s warfare combined. I know many of you faced endless locusts and plagues and even felt abandoned by God. “Job, you said. I feel like job! But Lord you restored Job so many times over! Will you do the same for me?” And I hear 2 Samuel 22:25 “Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before His eyes”.

There will be a RECOMPENSE!

In this move of the Spirit begin to expect the places of your own family devastation and broken promises to live again. God is moving corporately with His remnant to see the waste places raised up again!

THE EAGLES NEST ARE SPRINGING UP & LONE RANGERS ARE FINDING THEIR TRIBE

There is something special and unique, and UNEXPECTED that is taking place right now.

We have all felt this for years and have felt the pull to press in for and pioneer community in ways we haven’t seen but RIGHT NOW is a very strategic moment in that process.

Eagles nests are springing up. Homes are becoming gathering places for more than prayer nights and bible studies. People are coming together to discuss their mission plans.

The eagles nests are forming and they will NOT look like the eagles nests of old. They will not be breeding grounds for mans ways parading as Godly. Nor will they be barracks for soldiers forming to carry out a mission, but they will be home bases for the eagles to find rest, family, and refreshing. They will be places to be encouraged, armed, equipped, and sent back out!

I feel like those who have been long term lone rangers - God is speaking to you the most right bow. Your paradigm is changing quickly. You left those people because they bullied and shut you down. They rejected you and alienated you and tried to prevent you from your calling. I get it. The Lone Ranger life is safer and less drama but the loneliness has become a wounding to you in this past year. Like a deep stabbing sorrow in your heart that you can’t seem to escape.

Let me tell you the very crux of this word and why I am delivering it to you right now.. you are the remnant, the set aside one. Not the rejected or forgotten or passed over. Let that lie fall off you right now. You are a carrier of something precious, so precious in fact that few could fathom or understand it. You are a fragrance in the Lords hand and those unaccustomed to the scent did not accept you. BUT.. remnant… YOUR LONELY ISOLATION DAYS ARE OVER BECAUSE I SEE YOUR TRIBE RUNNING TO YOU!

THE SYNDICATE & COMPANY OF THE KNITTED HEARTS

We are in a season that is important part of any militant process, it’s the Lord aligning his regiment. The church has been out of order and open to attack but the remnant, the 300, the Gideon’s army, or however many they may be are coming into formation. That is where we are at:

It’s the sudden detaching from a relational alignment you were in
It’s the sudden pulling away from a direction you were going in
It’s the sudden lift of grace from an affiliation that there was once grace on.
It’s the sudden knitting of hearts with people you didn’t expect or imagine.
It’s suddenly being surrounded by like minded and equally yoked people.
Its the suddenly of things that didn’t connect before connecting and clicking because of the new alignments.
It’s their grace coming upon you and opening the door you needed opened. Why? Cos only family does that and that’s where we are going.

Moses needed people to hold up his arms in battle and you need that too in this next season. Alone you fell on your face too many times but this next season remnant you will have people holding you up and carrying you over the finish line!

At a friends ministry event recently I kept seeing the word “SYNDICATE” which means; An association of people formed to promote a common interest or carry out a common goal.

What is our common goal? To exalt the name of Jesus in the earth and usher in the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! It’s Isaiah 61. It’s setting the captives free. It’s being the voices of TRUTH in this time of counterfeits. It’s choosing the narrow road when the mega highway of apathy and cultural selling out opens up. It’s realizing that the mountains of influence have been hijacked by imposters and we need to take them back!

We are the ones standing at the breach and broadcasting truth to those who a veiled and in bondage! This is who we are. Well done for standing. Well done for keeping your course.

After I heard the word SYNDICATE I saw a vision of many components coming together, like different mechanical cogs and pieces all flying in from left and right. They were all pieces that wouldn’t normally fit together but to my amazement - they did!

This is the time where the remnant needs to unite. Join forces. Brands and empires need to take a back seat to brotherhood and the cause to be one voice. We need to lay down competition and take down the giants on the land or there will not be a future for the generations to come.

Remnant, your tribe is coming and it will be MAGNETIC.. they won’t despise you, they will be drawn to you! They won’t compete with you, they will pour into you! Remnant find your people, open that space, prepare that table, and let’s RUN together!

Sow a seed

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

YOU ARE TAKING BACK GROUND!

By Nate Johnston • July 4, 2025

This July 4th, I want to prophesy a word of freedom over you, a word that rattles and shakes every demonic assignment trying to oppress you and cling to you, especially in a time where God is calling you to come fully alive again. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 It’s time to be free. Fully free. Not half free. Not three-quarters free. But completely, radically, FREE! It’s no coincidence I’m sharing this on Independence Day, the day that commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by Congress in 1776, announcing separation from Britain, because today, I have an announcement of my own. I declare and prophesy that from this moment forth, the real church will rise up and become independent from the spirit of religion and the kingdom of darkness that’s tried to keep her in bondage and the dark ages, when we are called to be a light in Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you… I believe the enemy is losing ground right now. Those are the exact words I heard the Lord say earlier this year, and again just last week. “The enemy is losing ground!” And while for many it may not look this way, it’s already happening in your life, your family, your city, and even your nation. Most, if not all, of the warfare you’ve been facing isn’t some random occurrence. It’s been targeted. Why? Because God is bringing you into a delivery season. The war you’ve been experiencing is the effect of what God is doing to reclaim you, to set you up, to prepare you for what’s ahead while the enemy’s been doing everything he can to keep you caged. The enemy can see it. That’s why he’s been trying to decrease your borders, push you in from every side, and cause you to slowly retreat over time. But I believe we’re in a season where God is chasing out every single snake in your life not just from last year, or the last five years, but from many years past. He’s been dealing with every area of compromise, poison, sin, addiction, sabotaging mindsets, and the patterns that have robbed you over and over again. Many of us have cried out, “God, I don’t understand what is happening. I don’t understand why so much is coming against me. I don’t understand this warfare.” But it’s simple: The enemy doesn’t want you to step into fullness and wholeness. But God has sent a clear message to the enemy’s camp “He is mine. She is mine. BACK OFF!” Yes, God is reclaiming you and pushing back the darkness. But He’s also going one step further just like He did with Jabez. He is extending your borders. “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:10 Do you see what happened? Healing from pain and expansion! Bondage decreases you but freedom? It enlarges you. Yes, God is chasing out the snakes from your life right now. He’s dealing with the foxes. I believe the enemy is losing ground in physical spaces, emotional spaces, and spiritual spaces. He’s losing ground in your heart and mind, places where you didn’t know how to let go… where secret pain, wounds, trauma, depression, and bondage have long lingered. We are called to be the whole Church. But too many of us have been faking it just to make it. And now God is saying, How can you bring wholeness to the world if you don’t feel whole yourself? No more trying in your own strength. No more quick fixes that don’t deal with the roots. It’s time for REAL no hype freedom! So let me prophesy over you again - It’s time to take back ground. It’s time to chase out the foxes from the vineyard of your heart and life. (Song of Songs 2:15) It’s time to confront the things that have tormented and stalked you, because they are ending in this season. God is bringing you out of a chapter marked by struggle and survival. You are TAKING BACK GROUND in Jesus’ name!

THE BANDAID IS COMING OFF! WE ARE AT A GENERATIONAL DELIVERANCE THRESHOLD

By Nate Johnston • July 1, 2025

I have a few prophetic words that I need to release over the next few days that are all different parts of the same prophetic word that is burning in my spirit right now. Now, if you have spent your life waging war against dysfunction and spiritual mess from your upbringing and family, yet still feel like there are blockages and wounded areas in your life, this word is going to really hit home. I want to start with a very personal encounter I had once with God. I was in a season where I was experiencing mental bombardment and some unresolved torment in my mind, and I began really seeking the Lord and asking Him what the root of this issue was in my life. The Lord had been speaking to me for weeks before this encounter, telling me I was about to cross a threshold, another level of freedom and healing. Not just for my own peace and freedom, but because of something I was stepping into in the kingdom that required me to have a greater capacity of freedom and to be whole, not hindered by the things that I was dealing with. And I believe that’s where many of us are right now. Things are coming to the surface. Pain. Mindsets. Your soul in anguish. These are all the signs of this.. So at the height of the torment, I cried out to the Lord, begging Him to set me free. I went to sleep then woke up a few hours later hearing the Lord say, “The Band-Aid’s coming off.” There in the dark of my room, the presence of God swept in like I hadn’t felt in a long time. It enveloped me. I knew instantly the Lord was about to do something, so I said, “Lord, speak to me. What are you doing?” He said, “I want to show you something that’s been hanging over you your whole life, but you’ve not known. And you’ve actually been fighting this particular area of freedom.” “Ouch. What is it, Lord?” The Lord began to speak to me about my childhood and my upbringing. He said, “You’ve dealt with your mother’s side and the healing there, but you’ve never dealt with your father’s side.” You see, my dad left when I was four. He committed adultery, had another family in another city, and he chose them over me. It’s true, I had walked through a lot of healing and freedom from the things connected to my mother’s side, but I never really paid attention to what my father had done and how it had affected me. Exodus 20:5 says “For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations” So what I was experiencing was because I hadn’t dealt with this? The fruit/effects of my father’s sin - pain, adultery, and divorce had been hanging over me my whole life. I had never walked in the same weaknesses as my dad, but yet it was still there as a wound and a stumbling block of sorts in the background. But that doesn’t make sense, right? Aren’t we new creations in Christ? “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Yes, we are. But there was pain and unforgiveness and things there that were tethering me to this dysfunction, tethering me to the fruit of that disobedience. Instantly, I heard the Lord say, “The breaking of covenant brings a curse.” “Wow.” He took me to Genesis. The breaking of covenant in the garden brought a curse: “To Adam he said, ‘Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, “You must not eat from it,” cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life” Genesis 3:17 But then He led me to Hebrews 12:24; “To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.” He said, “I need you to forgive, renounce, and submit this under the blood.” So I sat there in the dark that night, and I renounced anything that had been trying to carry over into my life: the spirit of rejection, the orphan spirit, the spirit of poverty and lack, and anything perverse that had also come from it. I gave it to the Lord. I covered it in the blood. And I stepped into a level of freedom that has so deeply impacted my life ever since. What am I trying to say? I’m trying to say that right now, we’re in moments, not just one, but major moments where God is bringing massive trajectory changes and shifts, as we lean into these opportunities for deliverance and healing. I’ll be really real and please don’t be offended but let me say this - most of the Church is in bondage. Most of the Church needs deliverance. Most of the Church is struggling with torment and mental illness and yet FEW are saying it and doing anything about it! Hence why I am sharing this with you today. This is one of the epidemics we face in the Body. We know how to walk in the gifts. We know how to do all the things, but we’ve shoved down our soul health, our spiritual health, for the sake of looking good on a Sunday. Marriages are falling apart. Lives are falling apart. What if, right now, God is getting us free and whole so we can be a stable and firm Church, a pure Bride so that we can actually be the healers in this next season? What if this is we the recession of the waves before the tsunami of Gods glory hits and ushers in the harvest? What would happen if we stepped out to be labourers for the harvest, but our foundations were faulty? We would crumble and fall. Do you see the importance of the hour that’s in front of us and why it’s here? A THRESHOLD MOMENT After this encounter, the Lord led me to the passage about Jacob. He was about to cross over the brook Jabbok and wrestle with the angel of the Lord and become Israel, but something else happened first. His brother Esau who he had deceived years earlier, was coming to meet him. Jacob had carried the burden and the pain of that situation his whole life and then, in a moment, God brought it to head before he crossed over. What if we’re in a moment right now where God is bringing generational deliverance to you and me? What if He’s clearing our names and putting the axe to the roots of things we didn’t even realize were trying to hang over us? These things shouldn’t be hanging over us. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word. But we’ve been resisting it. We want to be free but we also want to keep our pain. We want to be whole but we also want to keep our vendettas and our victimhood. We want to be free but we just don’t know how to step out of the habits and dysfunctions we grew up in. But those days are over. God is saying over you today that He wants to bring lasting and full wholeness and freedom to you. If this word resonated with you, I want you to ask the Lord to come and heal you. Ask Him to bring deliverance to those areas of your life, even as you’re reading this. Ask Him to show you the root. In fact, if you are feeling the Holy Spirit working right now, put on a worship track and sit in this for a moment and ask Him, “Show me what I need to uncovenant from.” Right now, God is exposing the roots and showing us what’s been wrong so we can get it fixed. Body of Christ, it’s time to step out of that mixture of covenants and be covenanted to Jesus for the days to come. Pray with me, “Jesus, you are the Lord and Saviour of my life, and right now I un-covenant with anything unholy. I un-covenant with the sins of my father and mother and generations before me. I uncovenant with pain, with victimhood, with witchcraft, divination, and anything in my past. And I covenant with you today. I step into a fresh relationship with you for the sake of me, my wife, my husband, my kids, and my family. I give you permission to guide and lead my life. I step out of the driver’s seat. Come and do what you want to do. Make me whole, in body, in mind, in spirit. In Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you, it’s time to exit generational bondage and enter generational INHERITANCE in Jesus' name! Instead of bondage, you are entering freedom and being yoked only to Jesus. Instead of mental instability, you will have the mind of Christ! Instead of poverty and lack, you will walk in abundance and be a resource to build the Kingdom! Instead of failure and breakdown, you will flourish in everything you do and build healthily! Instead of spending your days battling demons oppressing your mind, you will set others free! The threshold is here! Get ready for part 2 coming in the next few days.

YOU ARE TAKING BACK GROUND!

THE BANDAID IS COMING OFF! WE ARE AT A GENERATIONAL DELIVERANCE THRESHOLD

FOR THOSE IN THE 11TH HOUR

By Nate Johnston • June 30, 2025

(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s ) This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.

I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF RAIN!

By Nate Johnston • June 27, 2025

I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!
