I have a prophetic word for those who have grown up under the demonic agenda of Jezebel, and for those raised in narcissistic environments and battled it their entire lives. Yes, the spirit of Jezebel has always had a target on your back because of who you are... Like Agent Smith from The Matrix, Jezebel keeps showing up, manifesting through different people, personalities, seasons, assignments, and alignments to take you out. It’s been the greatest battle of your life: figuring out how to steward your calling, how to be a voice in the midst of relentless attacks and constant attempts to cancel your calling. This spirit has tried to silence you, shut down your voice, reject you, belittle you, isolate you, and keep you in a cave. She’s tempted you to sugarcoat your words, dilute your message, and shrink your fire so you didn’t keep getting in her cross fire. I know the price many of you have paid for pioneering through this—for choosing health for your families, your marriages, and your future. I know the cost of refusing to tolerate her, season after season, and what you’ve walked through for the sake of not giving up on your calling. But in the hardest moments, you chose legacy again and again, yet it’s been costly. Recently, I was praying into this, especially in my own life, because I’ve battled this spirit for as long as I can remember, I asked the Lord, “Will it always be this way? Will I always have to fight Jezebel?” As I was reading through 1 Kings 19 - 2 Kings 10, the Lord highlighted the story of Jehu, the one who took out Jezebel (2 Kings 9:30–37). And the Lord said: “You are the Jehu. This generation is the Jehu generation, rising to confront and take out this spirit.” But here’s the thing: Jehu overthrew Jezebel, but he didn’t reform the land. “But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord… he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam…” 2 Kings 10:31 He overthrew the person, but not the pattern. He tore down the idol, but didn’t restore the altar. He left a void, and that void became an open door. Right now, the test of our generation isn’t just about calling out what’s wrong. It’s about restoring the priesthood, rebuilding the altar, and leading the Church back into true worship. Because without worship, Jezebel returns. I’ve seen it in dreams repeatedly, Jezebel overthrown, only to be welcomed back through broken, unhealed, and unprotected spaces. Because where there is no priesthood, no purity, and no presence, she comes back to rule. So I asked the Lord, “What is the key?” He said: “Joash.” The name Joash means “The Lord has given.” The Lord said: “The generation of Joash and Jehoiada is now upon you.” Here’s what that means: Jehu may have exposed Jezebel but it was Joash and Jehoiada who removed her legacy. Athaliah, Jezebel’s daughter, rose to power in Judah after Jezebel’s death (2 Kings 11:1–3) . She was a generational extension of her mother’s spirit. But Jehoiada the priest preserved Joash, hiding him in the temple for six years. When the time was right, they overthrew Athaliah in the temple (2 Kings 11:13–16). That was so prophetic because they didn’t just confront the fruit of Jezebel they killed it in the place of worship, as a declaration: “We are taking this place back for the Lord.” They then led a revival of covenant and worship in the land (2 Kings 11:17–18), restoring God’s people to their true identity. And this is the battle we have today. We are not just confronting Jezebel, we are confronting her legacy, her influence, her strongholds in families, marriages, churches, and systems. But we can’t stop at exposure. We must rebuild the altar, restore the presence, and model the priesthood again. But here’s the word for you overcomers - the pioneers, the forerunners, the ones who refused to bow: You are not doomed to fight Jezebel your whole life. God is raising up a Joash generation, sons and daughters the Lord has given who will see and walk in the fruit from your persistence in battle, because you refused to tolerate Jezebel and have prevailed! Now because of you the next generation won’t face what you faced, because you confronted it, took it down, and established healthy! But here’s the key: You must restore your home, your marriage, your inner world into a lifestyle of worship and the right affections. You must refill the void with presence and priesthood. When we do that, we not only evict Jezebel, we close the door for good. And that’s Joash - living in the fruit of victory with no landing pads for the enemy. No more idols. Compromise. Other lovers. Just Jesus again. So the promise over you is this: You’re stepping out of the weariness. You’re stepping out of the endless fight. You’re stepping out of the cave. And you’re stepping into the fruit of obedience. You’re about to see legacy break forth in your children and those around you. You’ve walked through rejection, isolation, intimidation, and endless assassination as this spirit that tried to shut you down at every turn. But you didn’t bow. You didn’t break. And you prevailed. And now the Lord says - You’re stepping out of the fight and into the fruit. Because you chose wholeness over generational dysfunction. Because you confronted what others tolerated. And because you refused to shut down and be walked over. Your children will know peace where you knew warfare. They’ll grow up in safety, freedom, and peace because you tore up the contract you were born into and started a new bloodline. You were the target, but now you have become the testimony.  You’re going to watch a generation walk in peace where you’ve known warfare. Because you chose to fight, they will be free. So in the days to come watch as you begin to see FRUIT where you only encountered the FIGHT because the tide is shifting mighty ones and you have overcome! “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” —1 John 4:4

I want to release a word of faith and authority over you as we begin this week. As I was praying over this week, I kept seeing this image in front of me of a person that was stuck in a corner with no way out, and arrows were flying at them from all sides. I instantly discerned that what I was seeing was someone who had been in a season where they felt very much like their calling had somehow made them feel like they’ve just been through constant assailing by the enemy, with constant arrows from all sides. Thats where you have felt exposed. That’s where you have felt bombarded. You felt like you’ve just been attacked from every single angle. Then I began to really feel like it was similar to the scripture that says: “But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, ‘Restore!’” — (Isaiah 42:22, NIV) I began to feel authority rise up in my voice. I began to feel an authority saying, “No! This is injustice. This cannot happen. This must turn around now!” Then I began to prophesy: “Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus!” As soon as I said that, Deuteronomy 23:5 came to mind, where it says that every curse turns into a blessing. So I began to prophesy: “Lord, every curse will turn into a blessing. Every curse will turn into a blessing. Every single assignment of the enemy will turn into a blessing. Every area of robbery, every area of financial hardship, every area where the enemy has come after finances, after health - God is going to turn it all around.” And that’s when it hit me - THIS IS UNCTION OF A TURNAROUND! It’s the sensing that things had to shift! I began to prophesy: “Turnaround now in the name of Jesus! Turnaround now in the name of Jesus!” As I began to declare this, I began to see things beginning to shift in the atmosphere. Then suddenly I began to hear all this chatter in the spirit of people who had been worn down mentally to the point where they no longer believed that God could turn these situations around. And I suddenly realized the key: God is wanting to shift and turn around situations right now, but the enemy has worn down your authority and your faith to the point that you no longer believe He can do it. Hope deferred has crept in to such a degree that it’s made it feel impossible that God could move. And so I feel that even right now, God is coming against those mindsets. He’s coming against the fear. He’s coming against the intimidation of the army. He’s coming against the hope deferred that constantly makes you feel like nothing will be able to shift or turn around. He is restoring in you a boldness and authority to begin to speak to the things around you and cause them to be removed and those mountains around you to be cast into the sea. And that’s what God is doing this week. He is hitting up against your mind and the foreboding keeping you captive. You’ve been looking at the obstacles you’re facing right now in your finances, health, marriage, and everything else, and they look like mountains. The Lord says, “Where has your faith gone? Where has your authority gone? Where has your boldness gone? I am your protector. I am your provider. I am looking after you and watching over you. Yes, the war has been constant against you. Yes, the enemy has been trying to wear you down. But He says to you “this week, I want you to do what David did - and strengthen yourself in me!” “I want you to step out of the place of faithlessness and cowering, out of begging for the crumbs under the table” “I want you to shift your mindset, and as you shift your mindset, I’ll shift your circumstances!” “Even right now, begin to break every agreement with fear” “Break every agreement with hopelessness and despair that’s caused you to stop dreaming” “It’s caused you to drop your vision in the dust” “It’s caused you to stop wearing your mantle and slip back into survival mode in a time where I want you to thrive and dream with Me” Then I was reminded of something so special to us. Over the years we’ve experienced this strange but beautiful phenomenon in our lives. Whenever we’re in the thick of spiritual warfare, when we feel like we’re being preached at by our circumstances - that’s when God brings us a sign of His nearness. It happens like clockwork. But it’s so simple that you could miss it if you aren’t childlike. We see ducks in twos and they show up in odd places, at odd times. It’s always just when we’re beginning to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. It’s God’s subtle reminder: “I see you. I’m with you. It’s not over.” But this year, on our anniversary, it was different. Two doves appeared on our back fence and they stayed for a full week. It was as if God was saying: “Watch ME turn this around! Not by night nor by power!” And even though we were still in the middle of the storm the breakthrough hadn’t come yet His goodness showed up as a downpayment. Sometimes, the sign isn’t the full breakthrough, but it’s the reminder that He hasn’t forgotten you, and that the turnaround is closer than you think. There are many right now trying to ask God, “Where are my next steps?” but you’re not thinking with faith, you’re thinking with fear. And the Lord says: “It’s time to break that off. I’m reversing everything that’s come against you, and I’m turning it. And some would say, ‘Could this turn in a day?’ Yes, it can turn in a day. And the Lord says “you will watch in this season, as you partner with Me again not with the accuser, not with fear, not with lack but as you choose to partner again with Me, “You will see every single obstacle and every mountain around you crumble into the sea” But you need to partner with Me again. Will you partner again with My Spirit and reject the patterns and mindsets of this world? It is time to step back into a mind-renewal season that actually brings about the shifting of circumstances. Because the fruit of worry is actually causing that which you fear to come to you. But as you shift out of that, It will cause the fruit of your renewed mind to be that you see the kingdom of heaven invade your world, your lifestyle and you’ll see things shift around in a short period of time.” So give me your heart and mind and I’ll turn around the things around you that have tried to do in your strength and failed, and silence the storm”

I have a word for those who feel like they have come to the end of themselves. The end of direction. The end of their past blueprints and vision. The end of revelation and insight. The end of an old assignment. Maybe even community.. It’s like the wedding at Cana when the wine ran out. The barrels are empty. You feel empty. “God where from here?” “Jesus bring new wine out of me!” But there’s a silence. Almost a sense of being completely alone and even abandoned. It’s the scary place of being in between what was and what is to come. You know the new wine is coming. You know it because you know that’s what God does. But right now, it doesn’t feel like anything is on the horizon and it feels like everything is falling apart. Warfare has increased. Robbery has increased. And with a lack of vision and clarity and direction you feel like you are just “existing” or floating. WAITING for the next step or instruction. Yes, the old wine has ran out. You can’t drive that car anymore. You can’t wear those shoes anymore. You can’t hold onto that tattered jacket anymore. The old won’t sustain you for another day and you can’t bring it with you into tomorrow. Then comes the discontent. “Is this bitterness? “Lord is my heart sick? Am I in rebellion?” “Or is this you leading me somewhere new?” You are looking at the empty wine pots of your life and just feel strangely “used” Burned out. Flat. Exhausted. Old manna rotting on the ground. Trying to reconcile what you gave your life for that has seemingly only led you to this “nothingness” Yes, you ran out with the wine. You died with the last drops. You had to, so He could now do what you couldn’t do. And so he could lead you into a new chapter you would never step into still carrying the old. It’s Jesus in gethsemane crying tears of blood, like they were the last drops of the old way of life. Old mindsets. Old covenants. Dysfunctions. Pain. Trauma. Addictions. Lack. Rejection. Fear. Torment. Knowing He was going to the cross so that the real new wine could be poured out upon the generations to come and break the bondage of the past. Knowing you right now would need a promise and a signpost of Gods goodness when you were experiencing your own “lost” and unknown season. And this resurrection weekend, I know this is a prophetic reminder for those still in a “death” to the old season. SUNDAY IS COMING! I know the second day is painful and confusing. But resurrection is coming. But not the old you. The weighed down you. The new you. The new wine. The new manna. I know you feel like everything has died but on the third day the tomb was found empty! Yes empty is not the sign of death, but of new life coming!!! So today can I invite you with me to give Jesus our last drops of the old? Let’s give him this moment of “in between” Let’s give him our fears, expectations, worries, and mindsets from our last chapter and ask Him for the new wine to start flowing in our lives. The new wine - the blood of Jesus that SPEAKS a better word. That breaks and annuls bad contracts and soul ties and shuts demonic doors. Yes the blood that overrides all! And I prophesy that you will shift from trying to figure this out in your own strength to seeing the new wine break through for you in Jesus name! This weekend Christy and I are taking communion over every one of you and praying for the blood of Jesus over you and your families! Join us! "and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel" Hebrews 12:24

Too many God-breathed messages never make it to the page. Not because they aren’t powerful, but because the writer feels unworthy or fears it will be too much for people to handle. Sound familiar? Fear of rejection. Impostor syndrome. Shrinking your voice to fit the mold. These are the lies that have kept prophetic messengers silent for far too long. But not anymore. On May 5, we begin Masterclass 2: Messages on Fire. We’re going after the root of fear and disqualification, so you can finally write the message you were born to release with fire, clarity, and holy boldness. This isn’t just a class. It’s a permission slip to burn. Your voice matters. Your message carries weight. Let’s unlock it.

If you’ve ever felt like your message is too intense, too prophetic, too outside the box— you’re probably carrying something heaven-breathed. But somewhere along the way, the fear crept in: “What if they misunderstand me?” “What if I’m not qualified to say this?” “Who am I to write like this?” Let’s get something clear: You were never meant to write a safe message. You were meant to write a holy disruption. Join us May 5 for MESSAGES ON FIRE, a 4-week masterclass where we expose fear, confront imposter syndrome, and ignite the message that’s been burning inside you for years. You don’t need more approval. You need permission to go full fire. It’s time to write it. Unfiltered. Un-compromised. Unapologetically you.

So many people in the body of Christ right now are dealing with poison... Not physical poison - soul poison. The kind that seeps in from old wounds, betrayals, disappointment, spiritual abuse, and prolonged warfare. The kind you don’t always see, but you feel it—in your relationships, your perception, and even your intimacy with the Lord. It’s the poison of the past, and for many, it’s leaking into the present. And they don’t even know how to deal with it. How to name it. How to heal it. It’s showing up in a thousand ways: -As a critical spirit, constantly scanning for fault. -As sabotage, tearing others down to feel safe. -As hopelessness, blocking vision and prophetic clarity. -As a shut door to the secret place, keeping you from encountering God. And for some, it’s even affecting their physical health, their energy, their joy, because poison doesn’t just live in your mind. It lives in your nervous system, your habits, your perspective, and your spirit. THE WITCHCRAFT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING This is something the Church rarely talks about: Christian witchcraft. Yes it exists in the Church, in leadership, in prophetic circles, even among those closest to us. In 2018, Christy and I were in a season of major momentum. Our ministry was exploding. We were seeing crazy transformation, breakthrough, and open doors everywhere. But behind the scenes, our lives were under siege. Our marriage. Our kids. Our finances. Everything was getting hit and we had no idea why. Until one night, the Lord revealed in a dream: “There are two open doors - two people in your life who are speaking against you.” It stunned me so I took spiritual inventory, but I couldn’t see it clearly until months later. And then one day, while I was silently wrestling with confusion and spiritual heaviness, a spider dropped from a tree I’d never seen before and bit me on the head. I brushed it off. Treated the bite. But days later, the poison was under my skin literally causing my glands to swell and made me really unwell. Antibiotics didn’t work. Nothing worked. It took months to heal, and even when the skin began to recover, the Lord showed me that the real poison was deeper. Both in the spirit and in the natural, I was dealing with venom. The two people God warned me about? One was a family member who was actively opposing our marriage behind the scenes. The other was a ministry friend, someone I had trusted who was subtly operating in control, manipulation, and soul ties disguised as covenant. Even after confronting those situations and closing the doors, the side effects of their witchcraft remained. I was dealing with soul toxins that no amount of medicine could bypass. It took a long journey of forgiveness, deliverance, and allowing the Holy Spirit to do surgery in my soul. Because when you allow unholy words, curses, and accusations to enter unchecked, they don’t just bounce off. They land. And if they’re not discerned, they begin to infect. VENOM IS SPREADING THROUGH THE BODY Right now, I believe this is what we’re seeing happen across the Church. People who are carrying poison from past betrayal, leadership abuse, family dysfunction, and unresolved offense are now projecting that venom onto others. It’s not just offense, it’s accusation. It’s not just criticism, it’s a demonic assignment to wound and divide. It’s masquerading as “discernment,” but it’s really the voice of the accuser speaking through unhealed pain. This poison is moving through prophetic camps and leadership spaces like a spiritual epidemic, leaving people divided, mistrusting, and spiritually exhausted. We’ve mistaken venom for discernment. We’ve elevated trauma-born narratives as truth. And in doing so, we’ve become toxic carriers, spreading spiritual poison to others instead of healing. GOD IS DETOXING THE BRIDE But here’s the good news: God is detoxing His people. He’s detoxing us from the spiritual poison of the past - from betrayal, witchcraft, manipulation, self-righteousness, fear, shame, and abuse. Why? Because you can’t see clearly, prophesy clearly, or love freely when your soul is sick. Before God can release a move of pure fire, He’s purging the contaminated wells in His people. And I believe this detox is not punishment—it’s preparation. THIS IS YOUR INVITATION And let me be clear, this is not a word of condemnation. It’s a word of freedom. Because it’s not easy carrying poison—especially when you don’t even know how to get it out. And that’s the question I’ve been hearing a lot lately: “I recognize the poison is there… but how do I get it out?” It requires a deep detox. A cleansing of the words that wounded, the curses that lingered, and a fresh reminder of who God says you are. If you’ve been feeling off… If you’ve been battling unexplained spiritual fog, emotional reactivity, mistrust, or disconnection from God’s presence—this might be your moment to pause and ask: “Have I ingested poison? Am I still carrying venom?” Let the Holy Spirit show you where it entered, and how to let it go. Because God doesn’t want you carrying residue from what bit you in a past season. He’s healing your soul so you can move forward clean, clear, and commissioned. The detox has already begun. Let Him finish what He started. How to Break Witchcraft & Extract the Poison 1.⁠ ⁠Identify the Entry Points Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where the poison entered—through people, words, wounds, or unholy alignments. 2.⁠ ⁠Break Agreements & Renounce Out loud, renounce every lie, soul tie, and word curse. Cancel the enemy’s assignment in Jesus’ name. 3.⁠ ⁠Forgive & Release Unforgiveness holds the poison in place. Forgive fully. Repent for any venom you’ve projected. 4.⁠ ⁠Cleanse with the Blood Invite the blood of Jesus to cleanse your soul, mind, and body. Declare: “I’m no longer a carrier of poison.” 5.⁠ ⁠Shut the Doors Remove toxic connections, reset your prophetic diet, and cleanse your atmosphere. Return to the secret place. 6.⁠ ⁠Prophesy a Reset Declare: “My voice is clean. My heart is whole. My discernment is restored.” -This isn’t just deliverance. -This is a prophetic detox. -You’re not just getting free, you’re reclaiming authority to set others free. As James 3:8 reminds us: The tongue is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.” But with heaven’s detox, that poison is being flushed out, and your voice is being purified for such a time as this.

“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.” —Psalm 42:7 As I was praying before the gathering, I kept hearing the words, “Deep calls unto deep.” Then I heard it again, “Deeper still.” I sensed the Lord was stirring a fresh hunger in His people. A call to the ones who’ve longed for more. A beckoning to come deeper into the waters of encounter and intimacy where few are willing to go. Then I was taken into a vision. I saw a great wave forming, and behind it, hundreds of people were positioned, waiting for the right moment to move. In my spirit I felt it, “The wave is coming.” the wave of awakening IS FORMING There is a mighty outpouring prepared to crash upon the shores of the earth. A prophesied move of God’s Spirit that will awaken the nations. This is the wave that is swelling in the distance. Then, I heard the voice of the Lord thunder, “Where are My wave-riders?” “Where are the ones who will leave the shore and come out into the deep? Where are the ones who will forsake comfort, tradition, and control to follow My glory? Where are the ones who will chase My presence above popularity, platform, or predictable programs?” For there are many who have chosen to stay grounded, content on the shoreline, tethered to control and comfort. But I am calling the brave. I am calling the pioneers. I am calling the forerunners who were born for this moment, to ride the wave of My presence into the unknown. And yes, it may feel unsettling. You may even doubt yourself: “Can I do this? Do I have the strength? Will I get it right?” But hear Me, says the Lord, You are My wave-rider. You were born for this. Everything you’ve walked through has led you to this moment. You were not created to sit in the shallows, you were made for the depths. You will ride the wave of My presence, and in doing so, you will model something sacred to a generation who has forgotten what My presence feels like. As you ride, others will see. They will remember. And they too will venture out into the deep. For the days of intellectual Christianity are over. The days of knowing about Me are giving way to those who will truly know Me. And you can only know Me in the deep. You can only know Me in the wild places where control must be surrendered. But there, I will meet you. And there, you will find that though it feels uncomfortable, you are not alone. You have the Comforter. I am leading you into deeper waters. Back to first love. Back to the place of holy encounter. I am leading you out of worldly lovers and calling you back to Myself. For I am calling forth My wave-riders in this hour. But if you are not yielded, you will miss the moment. If you are not dead to the old thing, you will hesitate when the wave rises. Where are those who are fully surrendered? I am searching the earth for a people who will lay down their lives again, Not out of duty, but desire. A people who long for the marriage of eternity. Who will be betrothed to Me again? Who will divorce the world and its empty promises? Who will lose their lives to find them in Me? Who will rise from under the yokes of religion and culture and be Mine again? Who will consecrate themselves afresh? For the orphans shall become sons and daughters. And the sons and daughters shall become mothers and fathers, Releasing the cry of adoption over the land. Tonight, I am marking My wave-riders. Branding them with fire. Setting them apart in the deep. Step into the new rhythm. Step into My rest. There is a fresh flow. Leave the stagnant waters behind. The old flow will not sustain you for where I’m taking you. Then the Lord spoke again; “The Church has lost her rings.” She has forgotten her covenant with Me. But I am restoring the marriage. California is being married again. America is being remarried. The nations are being called back into covenant. This is a marriage moment. A moment of divine consecration. But it runs deeper than before. For I am looking for My lovers. “And I will betroth you to Me forever. I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, In steadfast love and mercy. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, And you shall know the Lord.” — Hosea 2:19 “Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, For the marriage of the Lamb has come, And His Bride has made herself ready.” — Revelation 19:7 The wedding song has gone out. The flute is playing once again. The days of the dirge are over. The funeral song has ended. A new day has dawned I am inviting you to the marriage feast. Who will respond? Who will come? Who will leave their other lovers behind? Then I heard it loud and clear - “OVERFLOW.” As you lean into what feels uncomfortable, As you step into the unknown, You will find My wave crashing into every dry and broken place in your life. You will feel the surge of My Spirit again. And the Lord says: As you lean into My presence, I will do what you cannot do. I will restore what you cannot fix. I will bring you out of depletion and back into overflow. You were born for this wave. Now ride it.

I walked outside to prophesy into the voice recorder on my phone and the scripture that came out of my mouth was from Isaiah 10:29: “They go over the pass and say, ‘We will camp overnight at Geba.’ Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees.” As soon as I said those words, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake began to shake Southern California from a place called Julian, California. I believe what I am about to share is a now word for the body of Christ for the crossover specialists, those being called to transition into a new era in the midst of much shaking in both the Church and the world. The shaking is the sign that we’re crossing A few days ago, someone asked me, “How do we cross into the new when many people are unwilling or unable to go with us?” My response was: We need to lead them gently, with tact and honor, but also with urgency, knowing the time is now. But also knowing that it is God that leads us, and uses shaking to disrupt comforts and systems that are no longer aligned with His Spirit. He breaks our reliance on man-made methods and outdated identities. He exposes what no longer works. He leads us to new shores. But for this word, I want to highlight something specific that we are moving out of... We are leaving the fight-or-flight mindset. We are leaving bondage. We are leaving constant warfare awareness. Isaiah 10:27 says: “In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat.” This passage is about Israel in bondage. God was calling a remnant to rise up and cross over into freedom and deliverance. This wasn’t just a physical relocation, it was deliverance from oppression. When God led Israel out of Egypt, it wasn’t just about a new destination. It was about being set free from slavery. When Joshua led the people into the Promised Land, it was about leaving the wilderness behind. And it’s happening again right now in our generation. When God calls us to cross over, it always exposes what we’ve tolerated: dysfunction, disobedience, demonic ideologies, addictions, oppression, and bondage. In the Church today, we see it loud and clear. We’ve tolerated selfish empires, the Ahab spirit, the Jezebel spirit, and the spirit of religion just to name a few. These forces have kept the body yoked to structures that no longer carry the wine. It’s like being at the wedding in Cana—the wine has run out but we’re still worshiping the empty jars that contained it. All the while Jesus is present, ready to pour out the new wine, but many are too loyal to the old to receive it. This is what the Jezebel spirit, the unhusbanded spirit, does in tandem with religious control. It keeps us bound to what once held glory but no longer does. Right now, God is confronting these areas. He is exposing what we’ve worshiped, what we’ve allowed, what we’ve built outside of Him. So this word is for the crossover specialist...those who are feeling the friction and pressure of transition and are not only crossing over personally but feel called to be the bridge over for others. Let me speak to you personally: You are crossing out of dysfunction. That’s why everything feels stirred up. God is surfacing areas of compromise in your own life, showing you places where you’ve created Ishmaels or pursued Jonah callings. He’s doing it in you, and through you, and He’s doing it in the Church. That’s why there’s so much shaking. That’s why so much is being revealed. Thats why people are desperate and broken, because God is exposing the snake. And yes, He wants to deliver you, but He also wants to shift you into the purpose behind it. Here’s what we’re crossing out of: Constant defense mode. You’re not meant to spend your whole life just surviving warfare. Yes, Nehemiah had to defend the wall for a time but if he had stayed in fight mode, he would never have finished building it. We are moving from reaction to construction. And God wants you to thrive. He wants you to enjoy the joy and wonder of what you’re called to do. When the old wine runs out, and we refuse to crossover, we lean on our flesh and begin to run on fumes. But when we crossover into the Spirit, we move in His strength, His flow, and His freedom. So how do we cross into this season effectively? Look at Isaiah 10:29 again. Geba and Ramah both mean high place. The key is the secret place, the high place with God. When the shaking comes, hide in Him. When things are unstable, cling to Him. It is in the secret place that He will heal, deliver, restore...this is where you will move across the chasm into promise. And from that place, you will also lead others. But as I end this word I feel to boldly declare something in alignment with the shaking and Isaiah 10:29; The high places of this world are shaking. Principalities are being evicted and displaced. As David crossed the threshold in the valley of Elah and confronted Goliath, he lost his ground. It came into the hands of Gods people and the battle was over. What if this crossover is more about kingdom conquest than we realize? What if God was leading us out of more strongholds and yokes personally and globally than we can see right now? California is shaking because it’s a declaration that the birth pangs are upon us and that the land is ripening. And the specialists for the hour are rising. Could it be you? I pray so...

I had a chilling dream last night. In the dream, I was invited to a friend’s house. This friend, to me, represents someone who has been through deep spiritual abuse, someone constantly carrying that weight to the point where it now shows outwardly. This friend has a heart to serve God, is anointed, prophetic, and marked by the fingerprint of God. What the Lord has done in and through them is magnificent. And yet, the spirit of religion has always tried to bind them, tried to weigh them down, use them, and abuse them. In the dream, I was walking through what they said was their house. But it was cluttered, filled with photos, emblems, and items from different movements, events, eras, and seasons of their life. They led me on a tour, excitedly pointing out all the amazing things God had done. They spoke with joy, telling me about the different assignments they were part of, the things they were blessed to do, and what they laid down for Jesus. But beneath the surface of joy, I began to feel something trembling, something painful. Each memory, though it reflected serving God, carried layers of spiritual abuse, gaslighting, narcissism, and a deep sense of being put down, alienated, and isolated. I could feel it. The pain ran deep. The trauma had never been healed. The heart was never delivered. Suddenly I yelled out; “This is a museum of Christian hurt!” They looked back at me. “What did you say?” I repeated it: “This is a museum of Christian hurt. And it needs to be cleaned out!” They stared at me, shocked. And then they broke down. “Yes…yes, it is hurt.” I asked, “Why have you been ignoring it?” They replied, “Because we don’t want to dishonor. Because we don’t want to cast a stone. We don’t want to feel like all of it was in vain.” I said, “It wasn’t in vain. God called you. But man tried to mess it up. You’ve been carrying many seasons of hurt, and the Lord wants to clear it all out.” Then I heard myself say, “It’s time for the hoarding to stop. It’s time for the Lord to clear out the past seasons, redeem them, and start a new chapter in your life.” My friend fell to the floor, and cried, “Jesus, I surrender. I give you my past.” Instantly, things began to disappear off the walls. Light began to break through. And then I woke up. I believe this dream is speaking to many right now. There are believers, especially forerunners who have been carrying trauma, pain, and “Christian hurt.” They’re walking through and living inside a museum of shrines to the past. Yes, God moved. Yes, those seasons were sacred. But the pain wasn’t dealt with. And now, they’re depleted, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and even physically because of all the soul clutter they’ve been carrying. God is trying to start something new, but they’re stuck in what was. The Lord is inviting them to let go, to clean house, and to be made whole. As I share this, I feel it so strongly, this is especially for God’s forerunners. The enemy has tried to take them out through religious service, twisting what was good into something that robbed them of life. But if this is you, hear the Lord saying today: Lay it all down at My feet. Give Me your museum of hurt, and I will turn it into a sanctuary for My glory. My glory will shine through your pain. The suffering you’ve endured will now become the testimony of My goodness.” Romans 8:18 “For I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” I prophesy this over you today - You are shifting from trauma and pain back into wonder. The places in your life and heart that have endured heartache and abuse, God is turning them around in this hour. He is healing you. He is making you whole. And He will use you to bring healing and wholeness to others who have been through what you’ve been through in the name of Jesus!
