CHECKLIST to defeat destiny-blocking Giants in a season of advancing

Lately the Lord has been speaking to me about the giants that stand in between us and our destiny in a season of advancement and increase. The advancing season we are in right now is a territorial one. Many of you are moving out of lack and into abundance, out of family dysfunction and into peace, out of fear and anxiety, out of identity assassination and derailment of purpose. In any territorial conquest, we face giants just like David did with Goliath. The philistines stood in the very path that Israel needed to go through to advance in the destiny God had called them to, and in the same way If you and I want to be victorious in stewarding our destiny we need to learn to TAKE DOWN every threat in our way. So what are the giants we face? What giants are you facing right now?

THE GIANTS ON THE ROAD TO YOUR DESTINY 

  • The giant of doubt
  • The giant of fear of failure
  • The giant of mind assault and bombarding thoughts
  • The giant of our own insecurities and fears
  • The giant of assailing voices, chatter, and opposition
  • The giant of accusation
  • The giant of delay and circumstantial setbacks
  • The giant of tiredness, weariness, and lethargy
  • The giant of robbery and thievery 
  • The giant of fogginess and confusion
  • The giant of intimidation and bullying

These Are Some Examples Of What Giants try to Do In Our Lives:

  • Giants intimidate us
  • They make us feel small and insignificant  
  • They make you feel like you have no voice(powerless)
  • Giants make you fear launching out. 
  • They make you feel like God isn’t behind you or supporting you.
  • Giants bring up past failures and fears
  • Giants remind you of past trauma and wounds
  • Giants create constant blockages, delays, diversions, and distractions.
  • Giants are the masters of drama and want your focus to be on them not Jesus

Symptoms Of Being Intimidated and challenged By Giants

  • You live constantly in fear, dread, foreboding, and expecting the worst. 
  • You wake up to crippling anxiety and lack of peace that takes all day to shift.
  • You feel lost and alone, with no roadmap, guide, or way forward.
  • You constantly feel foggy-headed, confused, and battle the thought of wanting to give up.
  • You have no peace or have to fight to keep it. Your home, your spouse, your children are all out of peace too.
  • The atmosphere of your home is tense. There is strife, fighting, and a restlessness.
  • You feel mentally and physically tired all the time. You don't want to get out of bed and your sleep patterns are all messed up. 
  • Your physical health is being affected. Often you feel adrenal fatigue.
  • You feel choked and like you can't articulate like you used to.
  • Creativity is stunted and you find it hard to get revelation like you used to.
  • You find it hard to talk to God, hear His voice and worship Him. Its a fight.
  • You feel afraid of launching out in your dreams, passion, or calling because of fear or insecurity.
  • You feel like are just surviving life, and going through the motions.
  • You run and hide from anything related to your purpose
  • You have many unfinished projects, scattered ideas, but nothing completed.
  • You have no vision, lack of vision, or inconsistent direction and vision.
  • Your don't dare dream anymore.You used to dream and had high expectations but now you don’t.
  • You doubt that God has a plan for you or has any good for you. You don't believe your dreams will come to pass.
  • Doors feel blocked and normal processes feel slow. 

Have you identified with any of these? Below are some simple yet effective ways to deal with these giants when walking out your destiny. 

YOUR GIANT-KILLING CHECKLIST

  • Get out of bed! Make an intentional decision to get out of defeat. Don't face this lying down!
  • Use your sword!What "rhema" word can you find to fashion as a smoothed stone against the enemy? Speak it out, declare it!
  • Counteract the lies with truth! What is God saying over your situation, your season, and where He is leading you? 
  • Wage war with your prophetic words and promises over your life! (1 Timothy 1:18)
  • Find the sound of God's voice again and make it louder than the voice of the enemy!
  • Clear the atmosphere! Worship even if you don't feel like it and begin to war for that peace in His presence til it shifts the atmosphere around you and clears your mind. From there you will see clearly.
  • Activate your spirit -man! Speak in the spirit, tap into the unlimited power and might of the spirit of God on the inside you. Stir up your warrior!
  • Put on your armor! Cover your mind, your heart, and life against the arrows of the enemy. But don't wear Sauls armor -  doing things in your own strength (Read Ephesians 6)
  • Don't fight the chatter and torrent of opposition with chatter back.Thats just fighting goliath with His same tactics and it invites warfare into your home. If people are talking about you  - Shut your mouth or bless them!
  • Use your authority against the demonic assignment against you. Rebuke it and refuse it any influence to affect your life any longer.
  • SPEAK AND PROPHESY! When you do this ignites your song, breaks off any shackles and muzzles on your voice and clears the way forward. This removes delays, diversions, and distractions from your path.
  • Take communion - This puts your focus on the blood of Jesus that ensures your victory!

WHEN THE OLD WINE RUNS OUT..

By Nate Johnston • April 19, 2025
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

HEAVEN IS WAITING ON YOU TO PICK UP YOUR PEN!

By Nate Johnston • April 18, 2025
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.

THEY TOLD YOU TO TONE IT DOWN...HEAVEN'S TELLING YOU TO TURN IT UP!

By Nate Johnston • April 18, 2025
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.
