I AM RELEASING MY FIREBRANDS!

Nate Johnson

I AM RELEASING MY FIREBRANDS!

A few days ago in worship I was taking to the Lord when this prophetic flow began to come forth, so I took out my phone and pressed record. This is the transcription of that word I received.

God, I see the firebrands rising up. I see the firebrands rising up. I see the hot coals being released. I see the hot coals being released. "What am I seeing Lord? What is it that You would say? What is it that You would say to this generation? What is it that You would say to this generation?"

“Come out and be separated! Come out and be separated!” says the Lord. “Come out and be separated!” says the Lord, “for I'm removing the Baals from the lips of this generation," says the Lord. "I am in this hour, putting fresh, hot coals on the tongues of My people that have been afraid to speak, that have been muzzled, that have felt the spirit of Python around their necks choking them into submission and silence."

WHO WILL CHOOSE ME?

"This is a generation that has been conflicted, a generation that has felt confused because the spirit of the age has been blinding them and choking them into submission. In this hour, in this hour, I'm confronting the fear of man. I'm confronting the fear of man and pouring out, and pouring out My Spirit upon them.

"I'm looking to and fro around the earth for a generation who will choose Me over the crowd, who would choose Me over the crowd, who would choose the secret place over the public space. I'm looking for those who would lay down their earthly crowns and reputations to follow me. Will you lay down?

Will you lay down your earthly crowns for me? Will you stop trying to appease man and culture? Will you stop trying to appease man and culture?"

WHO WILL FOLLOW ME?

Then I heard the Lord say, "Who are those who will follow Me? Who are those who will follow Me into the new wineskin? Who will leave the old mannah behind? Who will forfeit their reputation that was built on the old foundations which now is in ruins, and build the new thing with Me? Who will lay down their earthly crowns and pick up their new mantle? Who will press against the fear of man and lean into the fear of the Lord? Who will love not their lives unto death?

"For this is an hour where My Firebrands will be raised up to clear away the cobwebs of the old wineskin, remove the shackles off My people, and lead them into the new. And they will be given the building plans to establish and build what is on My heart to build. They will confront the places of desolation and ruin, and in its midst will they will build foundations for my church to build upon."

WHO WILL BE MARKED?

"This is a generation marked for holiness. This is a generation marked for such an outpouring, an unusual revival, an unusual revival. This is a generation, this is a generation born to be the firebrands that would lead a cold church back into My heart, back into My heart."

DELIVERANCE FOR MY CHURCH:

"And this is an hour of deliverance for My Church. This is an hour of deliverance for My Church; it's an hour of invitation. I'm delivering them from every single mind-blinding spirit that has been tormenting them, every spirit of slander and assassination that has been relentlessly attacking them, and every single voice of conflict and confusion that is warred against their minds and their peace and robbed them of vision and future.

"I am right now dealing with this spirit and I'm leading My people out of the old wineskin into something fresh and new, and they're gonna feel their spirits burning with delight again. They are gonna feel the fresh wind of My Spirit come out of their mouths and authority back on their lips. They will feel passion arise from the depths of their hearts again as they did in the beginning."

I'M RESTORING INNOCENCE. I'M RESTORING JOY!

"I'm restoring what has been stolen and robbed from My people because this spirit of the age came to steal the fire of My people. But in this hour, I'm baptizing My Church afresh. I'm leading them into the threshing floor where they will leave every old tattered rag behind and they'll pick up the zeal again. They'll pick up their zeal again, and they will burn with a zeal that they've not felt in years. They will burn with a zeal they've not felt in years."

THE RETURN OF MY ZEAL TO THE CHURCH:

"It's time for the zeal to return to My Church, where they've traded zeal for compromise and appeasing, appeasing the masses. They will drop their compromise and they'll pick up their zeal. They'll speak My truth and reveal My heart in an hour that the earth needs to know My heart, and they will not hold back. They will not hold back and you will not hold back.

"The fear of man is right now breaking off your life and My zeal is branding you deeply. I am forging you right now into a weapon of truth, of My heart that will pierce through the noise. I know the opinions and mud-slinging of the mob has been relentless and you’ve had to stay at My feet to keep your purity and peace, but I don’t want you to hold back your tongue when I’ve anointed you to be my herald in this hour.

"I am raising up My firebrands right now for places of influence where once their words fell on deaf ears, now I will cause the seats and places of impact to be handed over to them, where the occupiers have bowed to the spirit of the age. They will take the keys and reveal My heart and truth. They will burn with My zeal and ignite a generation being led into compromise back into My fiery gaze."

“His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” John 2:17

REMOVING THE OLD WINESKIN:

"Yes, this is a changing of the guard hour where the old wineskin is being removed, and those who have refused to follow My spirit and pick up the new mantle will hand over their reigns to the fiery ones. Those who love mixture will eat the fruit of it. Those who love righteousness will see it exalt a nation."

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people” Proverbs 14:34

"And My heart is on the nations. I see the day of trouble rearing its head and the darkness trying to cast its shadow on their future, but My firebrands will point the lost back to Me and the hope I am leading them into. Nations will rage and kingdoms will rise up, but I will not let My people fall! My firebrands will restore hope and break the sleeping Church out of Her early death! They must arise for the hour, for the revealing of My Glory is here!

"You will break off every muzzle. I am breaking off every muzzle that has been around your neck and you'll speak My heart with a conviction that will break off the blindfolds of a generation lost in the woods looking for acceptance, looking for identity, looking for belonging, looking for a father. They are looking for Me and you will lead them to Me."

WHO WILL CARRY THE NEW WINE?

"The new wine is being poured out, and will you pour it out with Me?

"Will you administer My healing balm with Me?

"Will you get back your fire and roaring voice for Me?

"Will you surrender all apathy and open your mouth and let My hot coals hit your lips?

"For in this hour, I am separating the celebrities from the surrendered. Those who are after their own kingdom and seeking to maintain their reputation will find their reward but will stay stuck in the old wineskin. But those who choose Me, and Me alone, will find their reward in Me.

"This is an hour that I am turning over the tables of the manufactured and where My house has lost sight of the gospel, and in its place, I will build and establish My family.

"Even right now I am pouring out My Spirit upon you and baptizing you in My fire and zeal, and courage will come upon you. Where yesterday you were wallowing in fears, muzzled and scattered, you will feel like a roar of a lion will come upon your spirit, and your odyssey into the heavy call upon your life will begin.

"It won’t be popular.

"It won’t tickle ears.

"But you won’t ever feel conflicted or confused about where you are called to be again."

HUBS OF GLORY // TABLES OF FAMILY:

After I heard this I saw a map of the world lit up and I heard “tables of family will become hubs of glory”, and I knew that the Lord was revealing the new wineskin for what He is pouring out upon in the days to come.

The turning of the tables is where man has turned the family into a club, but God is restoring the Church back to Her former glory.

The new wineskin has come and God is raising up the builders for it. They will be the ones who will simply set the table and God's glory will pour out...

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.

WE ARE IN A ROOTS MOVEMENT MOMENT

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025

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!

I'M GOING TO TURN IT AROUND!

By Nate Johnston • May 21, 2025

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!
