I AM UNDOING THE MESS OF YOUR ISHMAEL...
I heard the Lord say, “Right now, I am undoing the mess of your Ishmael.”
The thing you created and birthed didn’t have me in it.
Because I have seen you broken and contrite before me, I will now reverse what has felt like a curse over your life since you stepped into it.
For it’s felt like your life has been falling apart for such a long while and now I am going to bring you back to the moment of that decision and place you in a divine re-do.
I don’t want you stuck there anymore. I don’t want you in the pit of despair anymore.
And I have seen you wallowing in the depths of regret, grief, and utter loss as a result.
I have seen you hit rock bottom because you couldn’t sustain what you created without me.
And while right now it hurts, it had to fall apart so I could bring you the door I promised and birth your Isaac.
It also hurts because you didn’t see that it was Ishmael at the time. You thought it was faith.
You thought you were following me. But in the noise and drama you chose what looked right over what was right.
But now it’s time to let it go. Close the door. Turn the page of that chapter and rediscover what you were created to birth with me.
It’s time to return to your roots so I can make you bloom again.
So don’t fear the shipwrecks and mess around you. I am right now in the midst of tidying them up with you and bringing you out of the constant warfare of being out of grace.
For my mercies are new every morning...so receive it.
And let your heart release all bitterness, for I will make all things new and restore the years.
Watch as I turn back the clock and bring you what you lost.
Watch as I restore the relationships, passion, and joy that were stolen.
And the sign will be that you will come alive again, and your family will thrive again.

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

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.

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.
