HOW TO DEAL WITH SPIRITUAL SMEAR CAMPAIGNS
“A smear campaign, also referred to as a smear tactic or simply a smear, is an effort to damage or call into question someone's reputation by propounding negative propaganda”
Firstly, smear campaigns are different to your normal run of the mill chatter. It’s when the enemy stirs up multiple people to curse you and from many different angles all at once.
When these come, you can bank on it that something powerful is around the corner and this campaign is sent to TAKE YOU OUT..
It’s actually a military tactic of the enemy that tells you that you are no longer dealing with a few demons but a legion of demons and principalities that see you as a threat.
FYI: This should be a sign to you that you have crossed a threshold in your authority for the enemy to have to send an army against you.
These campaigns come in the form of CHAOS or multiple tornados that attack you all at once until you hit a point of being unable to mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually handle the heat.
These sudden K.O repetitions leave you feeling oppressed and tormented until you literally think “I don’t want to live. This is beyond what I can handle”
Is this too real? Remember Elijah said the same thing right after Jezebel threatened his life. This is what a smear campaign does. It doesn’t play.. it’s after your life.
“while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 1 Kings 19:4
Since last week we have sensed multiple smear campaigns swirling in the spirit.
They start off tame and almost unrecognizable, trying to blend in or look like natural circumstances, but then they begin to increase in intensity.
Then chaos ensues from every angle, attacking your family, time, your mind, relationships, finances, health, and every other angle you can think of.
It’s the multiple tongues of the wicked trying to destroy you with torrential slander and decimate your walls.
It’s like a battering ram trying to rattle you and break down your most rigorous defenses.
So with that said, let me share a few nuggets of truth I have learned from these over the years;
THINGS TO KNOW
The snake always reveals itself:
Just wait and watch because the spiritual assignment always reveals its head and intentions quickly. It can’t hide. Expect to see emails, messages, or other means but the snakes will appear. Pray for exposure - Mark 4:22. There is nothing hidden that cannot be revealed.
The enemy always barks before he is evicted:
These smear campaigns tend to be less about you and more about territory the enemy is about to lose. Like the demoniac Jesus encountered who was yelling and making a fuss, the enemy always makes a big drama show before he is cast out into the pigs. When the enemy is exposed or about to be exposed he will bark loudly.
The enemy intends to slime you but it only ends up bringing purification:
Smear campaigns have a way of naturally cleaning up house. They cause you to see cracks in the pavement and things you weren’t seeing clearly beforehand. God will use the sliming to help you refine and define your circle and remove your hand from places that were shortchanging you.
God brings order out of disorder.
Further to the last one, God uses these moments to reveal the fly in the ointment and remove the impurities clogging up your flow. Warfare of this level always overplays its hand and where disorder comes momentarily, God uses it to bring order and bring to head that which has been concealed.
You are a general not a victim:
This is often a hard one to remember and take on board during these smear campaigns but you are not a victim even if you feel like you are. You are a general and you need to act like it and get back the upper hand. Be the head and not the tail, above only not beneath.
God will deal with them, but make sure you deal with you:
Even if God does give you discernment of where the chatter came from, remember that you don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. This is a spiritual attack not a natural one. Fight to keep your heart right. Forgive them so you can become entangled from their words and effects.
You have victory over the works over the enemy:
Don’t ever leave a battle without swinging your sword. Let the warfare at your door draw out the warrior in you that you didn’t know you were. God wants to show you how to stand in victory despite how you are feeling or seeing. He will often use these campaigns to school you in your authority and help you rise above it so you see it differently next time.
Smear campaigns can’t shut doors for you - they only help you enter them:
I’ve seen this time and time again where the enemy will send a campaign against me to shut doors and it strangely only fast tracks me into them. So if you are thinking about your reputation and about the potentially lost opportunities, let it go. No one can shut the doors God has ordained for your life.
So this is how you effectively deal with a smear campaign;
Ask for discernment/exposure.
Keep your heart right/forgive
Rebuke the assignment.
Refuse to believe the lies of the enemy at your mind.
Worship your way out of the chaos
Refuse to defend yourself or your reputation.
Bless those who curse you.
And get ready for the breakthrough cos you must have leveled up!

(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s ) This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.

I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!

The hour of the nameless and faceless has come.
By Nate Johnston

June 25, 2025
We are right now in the greatest mind war of our time. The Lord spoke to me recently and said, “I’m coming against the mind-blinding spirit that has come over My people.” You see, right now we’re looking at the potential of World War III between Israel and Iran. We’re also facing the possibility of civil war breaking out in multiple areas of the U.S. over controversial issues. But the real World War III has already begun, and that is the world war of the mind. The spirit of this age has crept in deceptively through fear, culture, and media to hit the Body of Christ from so many angles, for so long, that we have become a people being pillaged and plundered in our minds on a daily basis. Recently, the Lord led me to the scripture in John 11:16 when Jesus was going to return to Jerusalem; “Then Thomas said to the rest of the disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him.’” Thomas, whose name [Didymus] means “twin,” also represents the double-minded. I asked, “Lord, what are you trying to show me?” And He showed me: there is a double-mindedness, a spirit of confusion that has come upon the Church. It’s leading people away from the Gospel, away from the narrow path, and trying to reason the Church out of its calling and destiny, even in the midst of chaos. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that has come against the Church, cloaked in wisdom and common sense, to lead her into deception. It’s leading the Church away from truth under the guise of love, tolerance, and acceptance. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that speaks fear, gloom, and doom over these times when we are called to speak hope and redemption, and lead the Church into her greatest days. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that says, “Your greatest days are over,” simply because we’re in a season of storms and battles. It’s trying to shut down the Church and make her powerless, when this is a time we are called to wield the power of the Holy Spirit. This spirit is trying to lead the Church into a false sense of safety, when we are meant to be called into discomfort to see the greatest move of God hit the earth. This mind-blinding spirit has created a chatter of witchcraft. It has warred against believers, created factions, and caused us to rise up against one another, tearing each other down. It’s created confusion to such a degree that many are coming into agreement with the accuser of the brethren, with the enemy, on many fronts. But this is not the heart of the Lord. The Lord said to me, “I am warring against this spirit right now.” There is a war, and the Lord is actively warring against the mind-blinding spirit. I believe He is saying over us: He’s bringing us back into peace and clarity. He’s bringing us back into oneness, into single-mindedness. It says in Matthew 6:22: “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy [single], your whole body will be full of light.” This reminds me of when Elisha’s servant was gripped by fear because he could not see what was really happening in the spirit. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And 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 6:16–17). This is our prayer today: Lord, open our eyes! We must see what’s happening spiritually and naturally. We must stop interpreting life from the ground level and begin to see from the throne room. The blindfolds are being removed. The fog is lifting. It’s time to come out of earthly thinking. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians 2:6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” We are not victims of the news; we are the watchmen of the hour, the voices that declare from the heights what God is doing in the valleys. Right now, the Lord is delivering the Church. He’s going to use situations around us to deliver us from our own deception where we have partnered with the enemy, with the accuser, with fear, with compromise, with lukewarmness, and with false wisdom. So even now, if you’ve felt like you’ve come under torment, confusion, or compromise, if you feel the weight of heaviness, and it’s brought conflict or distance between you and the Lord, and the pure call on your life, reject it now. Renounce it. Tear up any vows or agreements you’ve made with it. Lay your hands upon your head and pray: “Lord, as an act of my will, I come out of double-mindedness. I repent for double-mindedness. Deliver me from witchcraft, from chatter, and from this mind-blinding spirit and its assignment. I rebuke it now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that my dreams will be restored. My visions will be restored. Revelation will be restored. I come back into sync with Heaven, with hope, and I will see clearly in the days ahead.” Because the real war, the real purpose behind this battle, is that the enemy knows if the Church is blind, we will be unable to see in this critical hour. We will be walking with blindfolds when we are called to see, declare, and prophesy what God is doing in the midst of so much unrest and chaos. We are the news, my friends. We are the beacons of hope, the bell ringers of a new day. No matter what’s going on in the world, we carry hope, strategy, and redemption. Step back into clarity and peace in the name of Jesus. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” — 2 Corinthians 4:4
