I have a little story to tell you… I was the shy girl at school. I had my small group of friends that I could be myself with, but beyond them, I barely talked to anyone. I was not (and still am not) the outgoing type. I’m your classic introvert 😂 I never wanted a stage (and still don’t 😅) and if you had told me that God would call me one day to speak and write for Him, I probably would have crumbled into a thousand pieces on the floor. I LOATHED public speaking… loathed it, despised it, hated it, wanted to run a million miles from it. I couldn’t even handle small groups, where one at a time, you go around the circle and share something about yourself. My stomach would be in knots as it led up to my turn. I share this to tell you… God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called. He qualifies you, little bit by little bit as you step out in obedience to Him. Some of you have written yourselves off… you’ve crossed your name off the calling God has appointed to you because you don’t feel qualified for it. You’ve told yourself, “that’s not my personality.” Listen, it’s not mine either 🤣 But, one thing I can tell you is that whatever it is you are called to, God Himself will be with you each step of the way. If we didn’t require complete dependence on Him, it would be in our own strength and we would receive the glory. Yet, when we follow His leading, and depend entirely upon Him - He’s the One that gets all the glory. There is just no way I could have taken each step without Him. I’m here to tell you today, daughter, take that first step He has been leading you to take. Lean into His strength as you do, and I promise, He will show up. He always does. Stop writing yourself out of the calling upon your life. You have something unique that no one else has… give him the fear, the uncertainties, the unknowns, and take that one small step. He is with you. 💕 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong” — 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

By Christy Johnston I recently had a dream where I saw my family and I sitting around a campfire. We had been singing worship songs together, when suddenly, a bear approached our campground and walked closer into our circle. We all froze for a moment, so as not to agitate the bear, but it became clear, she was already agitated. I knew in the dream, it was a female bear, and she proceeded to get closer and closer to my family until she was sniffing the toes of my children. She began hissing and growling loudly, and with a nasty snarl baring her teeth, I knew she was about to bite down into my youngest daughters’ feet. I swiftly moved to stand in-between my daughter and the bear and it was when she was face to face with me that I instinctively knew in the dream, ‘this bear understands words’. She reacted with fierce aggression when I stood in-between her and my daughter, and it was then that I shouted to her, “you MUST leave our grounds in the Name of Jesus.” She shook her head and then stood up on her hind feet, towering above me, as she replied, “I don’t want to leave.” Again, I told her with authority, “you have no choice, you MUST leave, and you must leave NOW!” Again, she growled, and at that moment, the fire we were gathered around released a spark of embers, that blew directly into her face… shocking her and causing her to come back down to her all fours, as she reluctantly walked away, grunting as she went. Most bears in dreams represent powerful and territorial principalities, and interestingly, bears represent principalities that target the vulnerable. I believe this dream was speaking into the presiding demonic authorities of this age that have been targeting children, the family unit and of course, God’s daughters. The fact this was a female bear, represents the counterfeit spirit that has come against the woman – and seeks to destroy her fire. I have to interject here for a moment and highlight this profound connection… a number of years ago, I had a dream where the sea-witch Ursula, from the movie, ‘the Little Mermaid’ was attempting to take away my voice. Ursula’s name means, “she-bear.” Ariel’s was the voice that Ursula was possessed with jealousy to steal… and amazingly, Ariel means, “lioness of God.” The she-bear in my recent dream, points once again to these demon-principality that is possessed with jealousy to steal the voices of God's lioness daughters. It was my voice in the dream followed by the fire of the Lord that brought her low and into submission. It was my authority under the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, that sent her away. I believe the Lord is wanting to remind His daughters in this hour – your voice MATTERS! Your voice is like a watchman over your family, your voice SHIFTS and DISMANTLES the powers of darkness. Your voice is a guard that releases angelic protection to set aflame the powers of darkness. Daughter, if you’ve been experiencing disillusionment, disheartenment, intimidation or frustration, know this… it’s because the bear is trying to silence you and take your ground. It’s time to remind her, the Lion is prowling…. And allow Him to roar through you. Send her running! From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12

I believe the coming months of March, April and May are going to mark a season of divine and supernatural UPGRADE. This theme has been grabbing my attention almost everywhere in recent days and as I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal more, I heard Him say there is first UPGRADE available for divine strategies, visions and navigation, which will then be followed by UPGRADES in financial provisions to make room for the vision. FOLLOW TRUE NORTH. I saw a vision of a person standing at a crossroad, but it was not your typical crossroad with just one or two choices in front of them, but there were multiple pathways stretching out before them like a vein and the person was standing at the cross-point confused and somewhat disorientated. I heard them saying, “I know I am meant to go forward, but which way God? What direction do I go in?” And for a while, they just stood and waited until finally they got down on their knees and looked up and began to pray. Right at the very moment they looked heavenward, I watched as a gold compass was released from heaven, and on the compass was engraved, ‘Follow True North.’ This person grabbed hold of the compass and immediately followed the instructions and began manoeuvring it to find the direction of north. As the arrow settled and landed on true north, it revealed an illuminated pathway before them and they were able to confidently walk ahead. The pathway that the person in this vision followed turned into a mighty rushing river, lined with mines filled with gold. AT THE CROSSROADS. I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing that many of His children are feeling the tension of standing at a crossroads right now, a crossroad with multiple pathways and choices and it seems overwhelming and daunting. Many have felt lost or even abandoned and I believe many others are standing at this place where they are about to take an enormous risk and leap of faith and are needing divine guidance as to which pathway to walk upon. If any of these resonate with you, I believe that as you keep your eyes fixed on Him in a place of surrender, He will release the compass of your true north. For He is YOUR true north. The compass is representative of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, and as you remain in a position of hearing His voice, He will reveal the navigation that will guide you into the DIVINE UPGRADE. ‘I hear the Lord Saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!” I had to laugh at the humour of God in the past few days as He has continued to place little (or BIG) signs in front of my own path to confirm this word as I have been going about my day to day. The first was a literal sign as I was entering a shopping centre and on a giant billboard out front was a picture of a car advertisement, with the title, ‘COMPASS! FIND YOUR TRUE NORTH!’ The second was seeing yet another giant billboard on the freeway, entitled, ‘UPGRADE NOW!’ And thirdly, as I was cleaning a room this afternoon, I watched through the windows as the exact car in the compass advertisement drove slowly past my house with the number plate, ‘NOW!’ I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I want to highlight the prophetic symbolism here, a car represents a ministry, a ministry gift, the Church, a business, or a family. It is also prophetic of the supernatural ability for God to take you further than you could walk in your own strength. So when I saw the compass car drive past my house with the number plate, ‘NOW’, I immediately knew it was the Holy Spirit once more confirming that He is releasing HIS compass to ministries, ministry gifts, churches, business, individuals and families for the path set before them and as they followed His leading, it would open up rivers of revelation and revitalization, surrounded by the resources needed to fulfil the vision God has given. KEYS FOR NAVIGATING NEW ROADS Of course I had to do a little more research on this car and found the prophetic stamp of God speaking all over their website. Who knew God would speak through a car advertisement, right? For the record, please see this through the eyes and ears of prophecy and not a car advertisement. I wanted to highlight a couple of titles that jumped out to me and explain why I believe they are keys for this UPGRADE season we are walking into. Arrive Inspired. You are not designed to wear out and wear thin on the journey, as you stay true to your true north and remain in connection with God, He will revitalize you so that you will have the ability to fulfil the vision at the destination, and not be burnt out and exhausted by the time you get there. Nurture your true nature. Your true nature is a child of God, created to be in constant communication and connection with your heavenly Father, as you nurture your relationship with Him, you protect not only yourself, but the vision. Secure advantages for wise travellers. The wise travellers are the ones who keep the compass (the word of God) with them, in their hearts and ears at all times. It keeps them secure and on the right path. Make room in your world. Don’t get lost in the vision, don’t let the vision itself become your number one priority and focus, ensure you keep God as your number one focus, as you make room for Him in everything – the upgrades will flow. I strongly believe this is a promise for many right now, for those who have lost their way or struggling to know what decision to make for the road ahead, the Holy Spirit is saying, as you align and position your heart to hear His voice in the day to day, He will illuminate the path ahead. There is DIVINE UPGRADE for those who are leaning into the navigation system of heaven right now, are you listening?

A woman's call to arise and slay the giants of her generation.
By Christy Johnson March 17, 2023
This year we are birthing an apostolic company. A tribe of hungry disciples ready to shake the earth. We feel the call to take the hope deferred, the muzzled and disqualified and release them into the earth as weapons for the Kingdom of God. Our commissioning is to disciple and release this company- an army of fiery pioneers and strikers appointed for the glory of His Kingdom. Are you ready?

On Sunday the 22nd of January, 2023, I believe we crossed into a long-awaited promise of Jubilee. Fifty long years of innocent bloodshed has stained the land of the United States of America—bloodshed so vast, so unprecedented, that there is no genocide that rivals it. If we could see in the spirit, our eyes would be overcome at the sight of rivers of blood from the little ones, rushing down every street and crevice across America. As a nation, we deserved judgment for turning our eyes from their silent cries and the lament of their mothers, but instead, we received mercy. We were standing in a window of time for this mercy and a number of years ago I had a dream, where I saw a window in heaven that was closing. That dream was in 2017 and we had been fighting late-term abortion legislation in Australia. When we lost that battle I fell to my knees in absolute grief asking the Lord, “Why? Why did the Church in Australia not fight with us? Why did the few of us who did stand lose after so much prayer and intercession?” Immediately, He responded and showed me a vision of Goliath and He said to me, “Turn your eyes to the head of Goliath, he’s in America—it’s Roe v Wade. Aim all your arrows at him, throw him down, and cut off his head, and when you do, I give you permission to hunt down the Philistines across the land. Then, in your own nation, you will strike them down too.” That night, I dreamt of the window in heaven and it was slightly open, but I could tell it was closing. The following morning, I woke up and opened the book of Daniel. In Daniel 9:2, Daniel recognizes the times and the seasons. He understands that the desolation of Jerusalem was in a closing window of time because of Israel's unfaithfulness to the Lord—their desolation was set for a period of 70 years—and he understood that without repentance, prayer, and fasting that window of time would close and move into another season of time. As I read that, I immediately perceived we were standing in the same closing window of time with Roe v Wade as Daniel was with Israel’s transgressions. In verses 17-19 of Chapter 9 (NIV), Daniel cries out to the Lord: “Now, our God, hear our prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.” On June 24th, 2022, we witnessed the Lord hear and act—we witnessed Him move in response to the prayers, travails, and repentance of His people. We witnessed His great hand of mercy. At exactly 10:10 a.m. a decree went out to all the land—a stone into the head of Goliath. John 10:10 (AMP) says; "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]." That stone of legislation caused this great stronghold giant to fall, as Goliath—Roe v Wade—fell to the ground with a mighty thud. On the 50th year anniversary of this death decree, we stood in Dallas alongside thousands—right where the decree was written—and we marched to testify of what the Lord had done. We marched to testify of His great mercy and declare that where the rivers of innocent bloodshed had been gushing through the streets, now the Blood of an innocent—One whose Blood could atone, the Blood of the Lamb—was pouring out across the land, washing the rivers of sin white as snow. Together thousands of us took communion, remembering the Blood of Jesus and declaring His atonement over the land. It was a severing of the death decree and a stake in the ground of the atoning Blood of Jesus. I saw a vision of the Blood of the Lamb gushing up out of the ground of Dallas—out of the ground like a bubbling well—and it began to trickle and spread to every city and state in the nation of America. A TIME OF JUBILEE In scripture, Jubilee means, "a rams horn" or "trumpet." According to Hebraic law, every 50 years all slaves in the land were set free—it was a year of declared emancipation. During Jubilee, debts were forgiven and the land was restored to its rightful owners. Interestingly, the Liberty bell has the scripture of the declaration of Jubilee inscribed upon it—Leviticus 25:10 (KJV): “And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” As we marched on the anniversary of Roe v Wade through the conception place in Dallas of this death decree, crowds of thousands were given bells to ring throughout the streets. This was truly a march of Jubilee! The command of hallow means to "separate, honor as holy." I believe the Lord is instructing His people to honor this year as holy—separate it, consecrate it, with the Blood of His Son. Unlike any other year, this year cannot be done the same way it has been done before. This is a year to separate as holy unto the Lord. It is a year that He is restoring the land and the promises that have been stolen from generations past. This consecration—the pouring forth of His Blood—will bubble forth like a spring into every street of America and will surge forth into every other nation that has participated in this bloodshed. During Jubilee, it was instructed that the land was to rest from toil and I believe this is prophetically speaking today of the toil of bloodshed of millions and the toll this has been upon the land. But now we stand in a moment where the Lord is releasing the Blood of the Lamb to wash white as snow. I’m reminded of the ram that was caught in the thicket that took the place of Abraham's son, Isaac. We have been given the sacred blood of the Lamb! He has been caught in the thicket of our sin and as we hallow this fiftieth year, it is the rams horn that sound out like a trumpet to declare emancipation over ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND —this sound will be heard in every city, county, and state in America. IT'S TIME TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND On the day after the anniversary of Roe v Wade, Nate and I were invited to a dedication of land. It wasn’t until we were that I realized the significance of the timing of this land dedication. A small group of us took communion over a significant amount of land in Dallas, Texas and prophetically purified it by the Blood of Jesus. I believe this was not just a one-time occurrence, it was the beginning of Jubilee where we are going to see a mass handover of physical land—where deeds and titles will be restored into the hands of God's people. Many of you have lost land and homes in past seasons and I believe the Lord is serious about restoring what has been lost. The ownership of land and territory is mentioned throughout scripture and God is looking in this hour to restore the land that was previously in the hands of the wicked and give it back into the hands of the righteous. If this resonates with you, begin by faith to search out the land that you believe He is calling you to possess. THE BOUNDARY OF BLOOD When the Lord spoke to me back in 2017 and showed me the head of Goliath as Roe v Wade, I’ll never forget His words that followed. He said, “When you cut off Goliath's head, I give you permission to hunt down the Philistines across the land.” Before Goliath’s defeat, the Philistines had encamped upon a place called Ephes Dammim , it was from this place that they intimidated the armies of Israel—unbeknown to them however, they were standing on hallowed ground. Ephes Dammim means "boundary of blood" and when Goliath was defeated, the Israelite armies chased them off the boundary of blood and hunted them down as far as the gates of Ekron. Ekron means, "the gates of extermination." I believe in this hour of Jubilee, the Lord is calling upon His people to apply the BOUNDARY OF BLOOD across the land—it is time to hunt down every last demonic force, all the way to the gate of extermination. These demon-inspired ideologies and laws that are ruthlessly attempting to invade the land, have unknowingly camped upon the BOUNDARY OF BLOOD and they will be EXTERMINATED from the land as God’s people take up this command to HALLOW THE YEAR with HIS BLOOD . THE GREAT COMMUNION REVIVAL Papa Lou Engle has been declaring the Great Communion Revival and I wholeheartedly know that this is the command of hallow—this is our declaration of Jubilee to all the land. We are standing on Holy Ground and I believe that as we participate in the communion of the Blood of the Lamb in our own homes, corporately in churches, and even when we gather over regions, the Lord is releasing divine strategy and insight to His people to hunt down and chase out the Philistines to every gate of extermination. And in turn, He is releasing a revival—a great outpouring of His Spirit—unlike any other across the land. HERE ARE SOME KEYS FOR YOU IN YOUR OWN LIFE: Take communion daily in your homes with your children and together BEHOLD THE LAMB who takes away the sins of the world. Prophesy "It is finished." Declare the finished work of the Blood of Jesus over every area of your life, your family, your city, and your nation. Ask the Lord what your role is in chasing down the Philistines. For example; engaging your local community and church to take communion over your region together, actively engaging in legislation or school board meetings, or taking communion outside abortion clinics or governmental buildings. The Holy Spirit will highlight what you need to do. Find a community to engage with you in this. Declare restoration over the land and by faith go as the Lord leads to physical locations to take communion over land and regions. Pronounce "Jubilee" over these locations—that the land is restored by the Blood of the Lamb.  Finally, I highly encourage you to listen to Papa Lou Engle and catch the flame of the vision of the Great Communion Revival and your key role in this movement.

We’ve been a little incognito these past few months because of transition. When you’re in a transition—or the birthing phase—it’s so important to protect that season, because the amount of ‘opinions’ will get LOUD . We’ve had endless ‘prophetic words’ that have been sent to deter us from stepping into what God has been calling us to and it’s been overwhelming and confusing to say the least. The warfare has been INTENSE , the intimidation has been NEXT LEVEL , but we chose to stay true to what God spoke FIRST —reminding ourselves through the noise, confusion, and chatter that we HAD to follow the voice of the Lord above all other voices and opinions. That word was to cross into the United States and take possession of the land. In the middle of last year, our visas were forfeited by the Department of Immigration because of C-vd delays, and we had to ask ourselves, was it worth fighting for again? I can tell you, the enemy barks the loudest when he knows you are crossing into your promise. We chose to continue to fight, and miraculously we got our new visas approved within months. The fight didn’t stop there though. Before we left Australia early last month, our bank accounts were hacked, cards frozen, our kids were sick, we had endless harassment and persecution from others, and the constant whisperings of intimidation to retreat. When we crossed the border into America, we had one last battle to walk through—the immigrations officer decided to flag us and send us into a 6hour long waiting room (after a 15 hour flight) as though we were illegal immigrants. We grabbed our girls, held hands in a circle and asked the Lord for an angel to deliver us out of there. Within 10 minutes we were ushered out, being told, “You were unnecessarily flagged.” We walked out of that room in tears of relief as we finally “crossed into the promised land” after five long years of faithfully following this one word of God. This doesn’t mean it’s a goodbye to Australia, we will be travelling back and forth to continue to sow into our homeland too!!! We share all of this though, to encourage those who are in the throes of following the promises of God. The enemy will attempt to intimidate you, just as he did with the Israelites. He will show you the giants in the land of your promise to scare you from crossing over (whether that’s a spiritual land or a physical one) he will send those across your path to tell you it’s not worth it, “Just retreat, are you sure you’ve heard from God?” His noise will get loud and you will be tempted to question it all—Don’t! Keep moving forward in the voice of what God had said and you will see the promise fulfilled. We are in Dallas, Texas now, after following dreams and the instruction of God. We plan on doing some gatherings in the near future, so we’ll let you know, but for now, we’re celebrating in what the Lord has done. Papa Lou and Mama Therese along with other generals prayed over us days after we entered the U.S.—it was such a healing moment for all we’ve been through! “Against all odds, when it looked hopeless, Abraham believed the promise and expected God to fulfill it. He took God at his word, and as a result he became the father of many nations” (Romans 4:18a) ❤️ We appreciate all the prayers of those who have carried us through this season. We love you all. ❤️ — Nate & Christy

In my recent prayer times with the Lord, I have been sensing a seismic shift in the Spirit, and as I have been praying, I have been hearing these words, “There is a changing of the guard in My Church.” As I was asking the Holy Spirit what this means, I heard Him say, “I am leading My people back into intercession. I am removing the distractions and the unnecessary works; I am leading My Church to be a people of prayer once again.” I began to see a vision of a church service, where I was looking up close into one congregation which I knew represented His people across the earth. I saw about one hundred people in this gathering, and there was something strikingly different from the regular church services we are used to in the Western Church. The entire body of people, both men, women, and children were on their knees, even sprawled out flat on the ground, and they were each uniquely gripped in prayer. Gone was the typical and expected church ‘service’ that one might be used to, for the entire Church was in the grip of intercession, crying out in accordance with the cries of the Spirit of God. All I could think was, “This looks like the Church of Acts.” I could then see the Holy Spirit; He appeared like a large and mighty eagle hovering over the congregation. With wings outstretched wide over His Church, He was beating His wings as He hovered just above them. With every movement of His wings, a new wave of intercession would be birthed across His people, and I realized, the wind of His wings was releasing wave upon wave of intercession, prayers that were in accordance with His heart. Travails of prayer could be heard in unison with every beat of the eagle's wings. It was then that I noticed something was happening in the atmosphere around the congregation. A fresh wind was beginning to pick up, a bit like a tornado, around them, but it was not destructive. It reminded me of the burning bush with Moses—a burning fire that didn’t singe one leaf on the tree. This tornado was beginning to form around the people through their intercession, yet, it was not causing any destruction in their midst, but rather, I noticed, their intercession grew wilder and more powerful. I then saw in this vision, an expanded bird’s eye view of the streets around the church. I noticed the Church was positioned in the middle of a dark and poverty-stricken neighborhood, the streets looked ‘war-torn’, covered in trash and run down. At first, I noticed these winds of intercession remained around the people in the building, however, as their cries continued to increase, and their prayers continued in travail, the wind began to move outside of the four walls and pick up momentum within the streets. Again, the wind was not destructive, but I began to see physical demons hiding in the shadows of the poverty-stricken streets, and at first, they could only hear the sound of the wind and it sent them into a wild panic. Then, as quick as the sound came, the wind soon followed. I saw these demons and recognized them as stronghold principalities over this particular region I was witnessing in the vision. They began to shriek in terror, running to and fro trying to escape the forces of this intercessional wind. I even saw one demon try and hold onto a trash can, desperately clinging to its ‘ territory’, to no avail. The wind swept it away, and along with every other principality, they were blown into a chaotic tornado until each of them was no more. At this moment, I could still see the Church, in ongoing prayer, and I could see the mighty eagle of the Holy Spirit, continuing to beat His wings as He hovered over His people. Each beat of His wings, continued to release a new wave of prayer, followed by a new wind that at first swirled around His people, and then went forth into the communities around them. This was a wind that was setting all things right again, exposing darkness and unseating principalities. At that, the vision ended. "For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind And declares to man what are His thoughts, He who makes dawn into darkness And treads on the high places of the earth, The Lord God of hosts is His name." Amos 4:13 There is a Changing of the Guard. Pondering over this, I kept thinking about the phrase I have been hearing in my spirit, “A changing of the guard.” When I was a girl of just five years old, my parents and I visited the United Kingdom, and the highlight of our trip for me was visiting Buckingham Palace, where I was hoping I would get to see the Queen. While I didn’t get a sighting of the Queen as I had hoped, we happened to arrive at the exact moment when we got to witness the Ceremony of the Changing of the Guard and I’ll forever remember it. According to the Royal Family website, “The Changing of the Guard ceremony marks the moment when the soldiers currently on duty, the Old Guard, exchange places with the New Guard.” I believe we are about to see a new guard of intercession grip the hearts of God’s people across the earth, as the Lord is leading His people back into their positions as people of prayer. I believe this will come suddenly, where Pastors and leaders will become seized with the unction to lead their people into repentance and prayer. The religious spirits will be in an uproar because the Church is about to change guards, it won’t be “service as usual”, our gatherings will shift into a supernatural dimension where I can hear the people of God crying out in unison, “Holy Spirit, have Your way.” There is a new guard, a new order, and a shift that we are about to step into the throes of, and I encourage you, don’t resist this changing of the guard. To Church leaders and Pastors, I encourage you, to prepare for what the Spirit of God is doing—and be open to going where He leads—for it is not going to look anything like you had planned. The Holy Spirit is looking for a people He can rest upon in this hour, for a people who will be open to lay down their will and their plans, for a people He can birth this new wind of His Spirit through. "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8 There is a sound coming, and it is about to break every sound barrier before it. There is a wind coming, and it is going to violently topple religious thinking and mindsets, it will unseat demon principalities and expose the hidden workings of darkness. He is longing to release this sound through you, His people. Are you ready? Are you willing? Are you surrendered? Don’t hold onto your plans tightly, be willing and pliable to surrender to His will and His way, for in this hour, there is a changing of the guard, and I can hear His wings beginning to beat. "Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." Acts 2:2
