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

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!
