DAUGHTER, STOP DISQUALIFYING YOURSELF!
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

Something is stirring in the Spirit—a revival is breaking forth in the heart of Orange County, California. But it’s bigger than California, this is just the birthing ground. A stake in the ground of sorts. A place that will send a shock-wave to the nations of the earth. Because ultimately, this is about a global move of God we are preparing for. God has called us to pioneer an Apostolic Hub—a place of fire, prayer, equipping, and sending. This isn’t just a ministry…it’s a movement. We believe Southern California is not lost or without hope. It’s primed for awakening. So with the mandate of California at the epicenter, and the nations as our inheritance, this is about God’s heart for His people EVERYWHERE. But in order to fulfill this assignment, we cannot do this alone. We’re writing to ask you to join us—not just as a spectator, but as a builder. The harvest is ready, but the laborers and resources are few. We need: — Intercessors to cover this move of God in prayer. — Financial partners to sow into this Kingdom mandate. — Servant-hearted builders to help establish the foundation. This Global Apostolic Hub will be a place where lives are transformed, leaders are raised, and revival spreads regionally and globally. But we need your help to build it. If you've been praying for revival to spread across the nations—this is your moment to act. 👉 CLICK HERE TO PARTNER WITH US FINANCIALLY! 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PARTNER EMAILS! 👉 EMAIL US HERE TO GET INVOLVED AND STAY UP TO DATE WITH FUTURE EVENTS! Together, let’s partner with Heaven to bring a move of God that will shake Southern California—and beyond. For the glory of Jesus. In Him, Nate & Christy Johnston

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!

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!
