I HEARD THE LORD SAY "DO NOT FEAR, I AM BUILDING GOSHEN!"

I HEARD THE LORD SAY "DO NOT FEAR, I AM BUILDING GOSHEN!"

I HEARD THE LORD SAY "DO NOT FEAR, I AM BUILDING GOSHEN!"

Earlier in the year, I had a dream where I was being pursued and chased by a demonic principality and in its wake, it was stirring up the earth into chaos, famine, financial recession, and tormenting fear. I was running but It was hot on my tail and I was doing everything I could to dodge its grasp. I felt surrounded and hopeless, and everything inside of me was feeling like this was the end, and life—as we knew it—was over.


Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord say, “what are you running from? Do you not see what I am doing in the earth right now? Do you not see through the storm? Do you not see through the chaos, and even in the war being waged at your doorstep, I am giving you eyes to see. The hour that is upon the Church is not an hour of fear, nor is not an hour to run, but it is an hour to turn around, pursue the enemy on your tail, crush him under your feet, and reveal My glory in the earth!”


And that's when I heard this unusual word, the Lord said, “For many would say that this is the apocalypse, but this is not the apocalypse of the world, but the apocalypse of My revealing. This is the apocalypse of the revealing of My presence and My glory, and of My sons and daughters in the earth.” 


(The Greek Apocalypto means the revealing of Jesus - to uncover, lay open what has been veiled or covered up; to disclose, make bare: to make known, make manifest)


“For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed” (Romans 8:19)


THREE CYCLES OF SEVEN & THE SHMITA


When I woke up I was praying into what I had just seen in the dream when the Spirit came upon me and I saw three 7-year periods of time. The number seven (7) in Hebrew is She'vah and means perfection, completion, and the divine will of God. It’s a cycle of time where things come to an end and new things begin again. I believe what I was seeing was the 7-year cycles that would begin and end on Rosh Hashanah (the head of the year or the first of the year) which is the time of contemplation and celebration of a new Jewish year. 


Interestingly right now we have two events colliding which are both the ending of a Jewish year and the end of a Shmita cycle. A Shmita is the “year of release,” which is more widely known as the sabbatical year—six years of toil (both spiritually and physically) followed by the shmita which is a year of rest and completion readying for the new. 


"For six years you are to sow your land and to gather its produce, but in the seventh year, you are to let it go [tishm’tenah] and to let it be [u’nitashta], that the needy of your people may eat, and what remains, the wildlife of the field shall eat. Do thus with your vineyard, with your olive grove” (Exodus 23:10-11)


In the Shmita year, debts are to be forgiven, agricultural lands to lie fallow, private land holdings to become open to the commons, and staples such as food storage and perennial harvests to be freely redistributed and accessible to all. I believe the Shmita prophetically speaks of the Lord's protection from the devourer and His provision no matter what is taking place in the world. 


PROPHETIC CYCLES BROKEN DOWN


The first 7-year period I saw was from 2015 to 2022, starting at Rosh Hashanah 2015 and ending on Rosh Hashanah 2022. 


During this seven-year period;


  • I saw that it was a period of the church being shaken. 
  • It was a period of everything that could be shaken would be shaken. 
  • It was a time of intense resistance and delay against the new.
  • A time of exposure of the demonic assignments of Jezebel, witchcraft, and religion. 
  • It was a time of the wineskin bursting, and it was a seven-year period of the Church beginning to be sifted and purified. 
  • It was a seven-year period where God was shaking every false thing from the Church and revealing the true Church and the remnant that had been waiting for this moment. 
  • It was a time of pioneering and the Church shifting out of old mindsets and into a new way of thinking. 
  • It’s was a time when the heads of many snakes being exposed - snakes that have kept the Church in a box, but God was revealing them to cut them off once and for all. 


The second 7-year period I saw was from 2022 to 2029. 


  • This cycle was a seven-year season of repositioning, reawakening, engagement, mobilization, and preparation. 
  • I felt it was for the government of God and the Church stepping into its governmental role in the earth in many mountains of influence. 
  • It was a seven-year period of the Church pulling its head out of the sand and becoming a voice in the earth—which is why it began in 2022, the year of the voice, the voice of the Church being awoken in the earth. 
  • It was a seven-year season of blueprints being revealed and strategies. 
  • It was a seven-year season of building and constructing what God had given the Church to build and construct—the vision and plans for coming years.
  • It was a season for the church to step into a time of unity where brands would be dissolved and the powerless Church would crumble. Empires would fall during this seven-year period making way for the Spirit-yielded Church to emerge with a powerful voice and roar in the earth.


The third cycle of the 7-year periods that I saw was what the two previous cycles of seven years had been leading up to. 


  • This final cycle was the seven-year period of the clashing of kingdoms. 
  • It was both a time of great enforcement of the enemy's agenda in the earth and a time of greater glory. 
  • It was the time when things that have been hidden and done in secret could no longer be kept hidden. 
  • A time where the plots and plans by men possessed by the enemy would emerge and be attempted to be enforced and brought into effect but it was also a time of amazing favor, provision, and ridiculous harvest. 
  • This was the cycle that God was going to show off His Bride in a powerful way and we would not be in fear of the intimidation of the enemy because while it looked menacing I saw clear as day these giants and their plans falling. 
  • It will be a time when the plans of the enemy come undone and he overplays his hand which will lead right into the harvest of harvests. 


THE MANTLE OF JOSEPH


Then a few days later the Lord began to speak to me about the mantle of Joseph. And He said to me, “Nate, in this hour, the mantle of Joseph is going to be released over My Church and over My Bride. I'm going to call people into many different places of strategic influence. There are those that I'm going to use to prepare the Body of Christ for these times of great global shaking. These are those that will build and construct and gather for these times. And just like Joseph was in the prison and then was suddenly called to the palace, I'm going to do the same thing for many of those that I'm calling into this mantle; those that have been in a place of imprisonment, a place of dormancy, a place of being stifled, and have been shut down and muzzled.


“But in a moment, I'm going to call them to strategic influence because the Pharaohs' of the earth (while not godly) recognize that they need something and they need someone who carries the Spirit of the living God, and the wisdom to be able to get them out of the bind that they're in. And just like Pharaoh called Joseph to the palace, I'm going to press on the hearts of Pharaohs' and earthly kings, and they will search out these "Josephs" and bring them into a place of influence in the earth.


“And these Josephs, they will carry the wisdom for this time. They will carry the insight and they will carry the know-how to build and construct what needs to be built and constructed to defy and counteract the plans of the enemy—just as Joseph did in Genesis. He was able to interpret the dream of Pharaoh and see the seven years of plenty coming and the seven years of famine coming—the seven skinny cows and the seven fattened calves.


“I'm going to use these Josephs to be able to prepare for what is coming and they will build Goshen," says the Lord. "For right now, many around the world are in fear, and the Body of Christ has been pushed into a corner and have been confused, have lost their future, and have lost the fight. They have been burying their heads in the sand and waving their white flag but they need to know there is nothing to fear because their future is Goshen!”


"Have I not already prepared it?" says the Lord, "have I not already called these people into places of influence? You do not have anything to fear!”


And the Lord would say, “You need to keep going forward—you need to not stop. Why did your dreaming stop? Why did your plans stop? Why did you drop your mantle? Why did you drop your instrument? Why did you drop your pen? For you need to keep going forward unafraid, I am paving and clearing the way right now, I'm shaking off and breaking off the fear and the survival mentality. That mentality that has been over the Church that entered through years of shaking, the years of chaos and unrest. And I'm putting on them the mantle of praise and they're going to forfeit the spirit of heaviness," says the Lord.


For the Lord would say, “Right now I am building Goshen!” So pick up your tools and your mantle and step back into hope for the days ahead are your best days!”


WHAT IS GOSHEN?


Goshen was a plot of land given to the Israelites from Egypt that bordered Canaan which is prophetic of how we are in the world but not of it. It’s the promise of kingdom immunity and protection even amidst worldly systems and famine, and the fruit of sin. The name Goshen means “drawing near” and is a call to come out of the world, mixture, and compromise and create a greater connection and dwelling with God. 


“You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have” (Genesis 45:10)


Goshen is your promise of finally settling in the land God has given you after being nomads for so long. 


"Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number” (Genesis 47:27) 


Goshen is the promise of being fruitful and increasing no matter what is taking place around you. Goshen was the place where God made Israel into a great nation and its where God will establish and plant you and build you. Goshen was protected from the plagues of Egypt which speaks prophetically of how we will be protected from the storms and fluctuations of earthly governments and systems. 


Goshen is a heart posture of intimacy and being set apart unto the Lord. Goshen speaks prophetically of territory and occupation in the enemy's camp. Goshen is an anointing to be blessed and flourish in all seasons. 


I AM BUILDING GOSHEN! 


And lastly, I just wanna share what I keep seeing throughout this year. There has been this strong sudden cry and call on the hearts of God's people to build and establish "out of the box" gatherings, hubs, and places. There has been a strong cry to get up, pack, and leave to find these places. People are readying their families to physically move locations so that they can sow their lives into these places God is calling many to build. Relocation is taking place—God is pulling people out of dead environments and into Goshen environments. They are being pulled out of places that are void of the prophetic decree, future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11) and putting them into places of vision, movement, and action. They are coming out of the false and into authenticity. 


Feet are stirring and beginning to move!


Because of this many have had blueprints drop in their lap and have been feeling the pull to establish communities and places of God's presence, and to those people, the Lord would say, “This is what I want you to build, I want you to build storm houses which will be a place safe from any storm.” They will be like Joseph's storehouses, but they will be storm houses because they'll provide protection for many from the storm. And they will be the ones that not only prepare the Church in terms of financial provision, food and shelter, and safety from the things that the enemy would try to shake in the days to come but they would be the ones that would disciple and raise up people to know how to be effective during these times. There would be those who would raise up an army of people who would fight back against the kingdom of darkness and raise up a people that were effective in the times that they were living in. 


LET HOPE FILL YOUR HEART ONCE AGAIN


At the beginning of this new Jewish year of 5783 Goshen is your promise of stepping into a epoch to be excited about not dread like the news, media, and many fear mongering believers are doing. Fear has not helped you but has BOUND you but right now the Lord is breaking the yoke of heaviness and despair that has been over you for so long. 


It’s time to let hope fill your heart once again and fill your sails with fresh wind to break out of the confinement you have been in. 


It’s time to embrace the protection and provision of the Lord and confidently move forward knowing He is your breaker leading the way for you (Micah 2:13) and your rear guard. 


Soon you are going to look back on the last few years and not see confusion, painful heart healing, awkward confrontation, and the failure and standstill in your previous plans, but you will see how much God was sneakily delivering you from wrong situations and relationships, outdated assignments, idolised doors and vision, limited mindsets, heart issues and trauma, and untangled you from every web that has been wrapped around you for years. 


“Can’t you see that I have been REBUILDING you?” says the lord. “Now watch as from this place I lay the bricks of the movement I have always longed for you to see but that you couldn’t while you still had your hand on the old plow. So pick up fresh hope, shed the fear, and build the years of Goshen with me!”

Last night I had an intercessory dream where I began to say "Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! God, bring out the wild ones who have been in hiding. Bring out those who have been in death, those who feel like it's all over for them. Those who have been counted out, those who have been assassinated, those who have been robbed, plundered, and destroyed. God, bring out those who feel like they are being decommissioned. Bring out those who feel unclean. Bring out those who feel cast out and rejected from the church. Bring out those who have been silenced, muzzled, and voiceless, God, and anoint them! Put hot coals on their tongues!" Suddenly, the scripture Luke 4:14 came before me - “He came out of the wilderness in the power of the Spirit." And I knew in my spirit that this intercession was for the changing of the guard, for those who feel disqualified and broken because of what they’ve walked through, for those who feel like they’ve lost their anointing and strength, like Samson after his hair was cut. Then I continued to pray: "God, bring them out. Bring out the Nazarites! Bring out the new watchmen on the walls for the nations. Bring out the prophets and the intercessors, the apostles, the evangelists, those who have been in hiding, bring them out!" And I felt the Lord say that it was time for these hidden ones to come out of their season of wilderness warfare and torment, and they were going to come out with a fresh, hot coal on their tongues, to speak a fresh word of the Lord into this current moment in time. Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I began to hear the intercession of the saints. I could hear the tongues - a mighty roar rising from a generation that had been silenced and quenched for so long. I began to feel the birth pangs of the nations coming to a finality - a tipping point. This intercession felt like the midwife prayers of an impending birth of the nations in the earth. It was a prayer over the church, calling her to become the pure, spotless bride she was meant to be. I could feel the intercession of agreement with long forgotten words spoken over nations, cities, and regions, for revival, for reformation, for Jesus to be revealed in the earth. Then I began to cry out: "Lord, come! Lord Jesus, come!" Then suddenly, the prayers of the saints rose up in unity, crying out together: "Yes, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus, come!" I believe i had this dream because God is raising up a battlecry from the John the baptist, wilderness voices that are coming out of hiding to take thier post as the watchman of the hour and the fresh sound in the earth declaring “Prepare ye the ay of the Lord! So to the wilderness voices, maybe you’re feeling this. Maybe you've been through a season of robbery and wilderness - a season where it feels like you've been removed from your calling. But this is the season where God is bringing you back! He is placing a hot coal on your tongue! So if that is you today, I want to speak and prophesy over you: The hot coals are coming. You're about to feel a fresh unction. You're about to feel a fresh flow. And out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water in Jesus’ mighty name!

While the nations are in the pangs of birth right now, upheaval, chaos, and major transition, so is the church and so are you... True revival requires messy. It’s the oxen in the stable that disrupts man’s tidy plans that exclude the move of the Spirit, and shatters the veils of culture’s desensitization. And you are there right now. In the messiest of messy seasons, not because you failed but because you ASKED FOR IT. You cried out for breakthrough. You cried out for restoration. You cried out for the more of the Lord. Messy personal revival upsets the rhythms of your life that are no longer moving you forward but instead are keeping you stuck. Messy revival breaks ties and contracts and bondages you have been under that have been putting a ceiling over you and quenching your fire. Messy revival exposes the snakes in the grass and the places of robbery that have been depleting you and shifting your focus. Messy revival moves you out of limiting environments and causes you to long for wide open fields again. Messy revival brings a discontent for any sliver of complacency and religion you have tolerated. Messy revival brings death to everything in your life that is an obstruction to the “greater” God is wanting to pour out. Messy revival confronts and administers healing balm to places to deep seated trauma and pain keeping you in “medication” mode and staying in your sick bed. Messy revival redirects, corrects your steps, recalibrates, and sets your feet on the right path. Messy revival opens your eyes to where you have even in survival mode and going through the motions. Because messy revival comes primarily to set you on fire so you BURN again after years of warfare and walking through endless battlefields. And messy revival is here because God knows who you really are and what you are called to step into in this new season. It re-mantles you, leads you to surrender old manna and burn the old plow, renews your youth like the eagles, and restores the joy of your salvation. Do you feel it?

I woke up with John 11:11 on my heart this morning; “After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” I’m highly aware that God is awakening many right now that have been through the intensity of years of hard battle. It can break you. Dismantle your faith. Crush your courage and distinguish your fight and fire for the Lord over time. It can even feel like it’s de-commissioned you. But right now in a short period of time the Holy Spirit is dealing with the past seasons STUFF.. I wrote this, this morning; God sees your process and he isn’t rushing you right now. You have walked through alot and seen alot. Your heart has been through 20 years in 4 years so give yourself space to let Him revive you and reinvent you. Give Him room to clean out the hope deferred and cobwebs of the past seasons. Right now it’s all coming to the surface and He is tenderly scooping it out and breathing life back into your lungs. Soon you’ll wake up no longer feeling heaviness, anxiety, and deep unshakeable weariness, but it will feel like a valve was just flipped on the inside of you and out of your belly rivers will flow again. You’ll feel the pain and hardship of this past season and the toll it took on you mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually begin to lift as God OVERHAULS you in a short period of time. It’s an Ezekiel 37 - army of dry bones moment and it’s necessary so you don’t stay in your sick bed but are revived back to full health. Is this what is going on in you? There are great days ahead for you.. lean in and let the finished work complete the job. Can we pray for you this week? This is what He is doing; “who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:5 Lord I pray that you would renew their youth like the eagles! Restore the joy of their salvation! Bring that back into full health and joy in Jesus name!

This week's prophetic insight speaks to the current clash of kingdoms between those warring for legacy and the Jezebel spirit trying to hold onto its ground in a time of exposure and eviction on all levels. It’s a word of hope for those who have been on the journey with the Lord to break into a greater level of authority and victory over the enemy's schemes in this time we are living in. So let me start here: I believe this is a season in which the Lord is calling us into a higher place of spiritual intelligence and to take back the reins on the earth. They have been in the wrong hands. I believe this is a season when the Lord is giving back His power to the Church, but right now, God is dealing with the house of Ahab. The house of Ahab has robbed the Church of power and authority, which is why we have seen a recession of signs and wonders. The Church has been run by Ahab, but God is removing Ahab, and the drought will break over our lands. We will enter a season of glory once again. In an atmosphere of glory, power will return to the church. Signs, wonders, and miracles will be restored because, in an Ahab system, there is a brass-ed heaven. In this season, we have seen this brass covering over the Church, a ceiling caused by what we have allowed to rule there. But God is now dealing with the house of Ahab, and as He does, the Church will enter a realm of supernatural clarity and flow we haven’t seen in years. But how does this happen? FOR THE BLOODLINE BREAKERS There are people God has been raising up - His bloodline breakers. A generation - young to old whom God has called to break generational curses in their own lives, marriages, and families in a culture of acceptable Jezebel-ic influence and narcissistic dominance. But the purpose of God calling you, your family, and your marriage into this isn't just for your sake. While God is certainly working in your life, the most integral part of your divine calling is LEGACY. How do we establish legacy? We establish a legacy by breaking the dysfunctions and toxic patterns of the past that have seeped into our family lines, shaping the way we think, act, and engage with life. These dysfunctions are inherited not only from biological parents but also from spiritual influences. God has been working in your life, but there is a far greater reason: He is doing this for the church. God knew you could not break a corporate bloodline unless you first broke a personal one. You could not be a Jehu for a generation unless you were first a Jehu for your family. Does this make sense? Right now, I believe God is bringing decades of battling the Jezebel and Ahab spirits to a head. Many of you have been fighting this war in your personal lives, which is manifesting in various circumstances. Some of these may make you feel you have lost as if you've been through a warzone and have come out worse for wear. But let me assure you, it all will be worth it. This year, you will begin to notice that the battles you once fought are losing their steam. Why? Because whether you see it or not, you have stepped into your role as a Jehu for your family. Your strength has increased, and your spiritual muscles have grown. The Word of God says in Leviticus 21:15, "So that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am Yahweh who sets him apart." You have been set apart for this! Do you see it? Well done for battling all these years because it’s now coming to a head! Well done for being a Jehu for your family. You are now stepping into a season where you will witness the fruit of what God has done through your life, not only personally but in a corporate context. Did you know that the word of the Lord came to Jehu to annihilate Ahab and his sons? (2 Kings 10) We are witnessing this unfold. It wasn’t just about Jezebel; it was about dismantling an entire system. Jezebel created a subtle but powerful force, not only through her daughter Athaliah but also through an Ahab army, a mindset that would permeate the culture of the Church and dominate the world stage. In 1 Kings 21, Jezebel killed Naboth to get his vineyard for Ahab. When I think of the vineyard, I think of revival, the Jesus People Movement, and the place Lonnie Frisbee called a refuge. But Naboth’s name means "prophecies and words." Jezebel knew that if she could steal the prophetic voice of the Church, she could take the vineyard, and we would have to lean on man’s ways. That is where Ahab stepped in—a palatable form or derivative of Jezebel that would infiltrate the Church and establish idols of compromise and error. This is what the Church has seen for so long. That's why you've been on a take-back mission in your own life: to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab so you can be ready to be a Jehu, slaying the Ahab spirit and regaining the prophetic voice in your life and the Church. I’m saying this because right now, look at the battle in your family and the Church. It’s a battle for the future of our families and the future of the Church. Breaking out of the dysfunctions of Ahab’s system and beginning the vineyard again. By the way, this doesn't mean coming against people. It's coming against a spirit that has permeated culture. And that's been your take-back mission, to restore your bloodline and also to step into a place of being a Jehu that will restore the Bloodline of the Church. I want to be bold and say you're about to step into your shoes as a Jehu for your generation. You have pioneered well, and you have walked the hard road of not tolerating Jezebel. You are taking back your voice in the places it's been muzzled. This is why you have been on a mission to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab. First, to reclaim the prophetic voice in your own life, and then, to be a Jehu to restore the prophetic voice in the Church. LEAVING THE ESCAPE ROOM Now, let me speak to you about inheritance for a moment. Many of us have inherited the fruit of Ahab in our families and churches. It's permeated culture, and we've inherited its fruit. Yet we have been given the task of stepping out of that culture, stepping out of that mindset, and beginning to replace the fruit, replacing the root systems in every area of our lives that we've become used to. It's even been normalized in the Church. But let me say this very clearly: The Lord is bringing us out of our imprisonment. God is giving us the true inheritance that we are meant to have received through the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Just a few days ago, the Lord spoke to me while I was driving, “It’s time to leave the escape room.” There is a very popular activity that people do called an Escape Room. They are locked in this room and must look for clues and keys to help them ‘escape’ before an allotted period of time. What was God saying? He wanted to paint the picture to me that our generation, young and old, have been on a quest to find the keys to break this demonic culture that has been killing our families and society. For us to unlock the prison doors once and for all! We've been pioneers of this revolution to break the bloodlines of what's been acceptable and normal in the nations and our families and bring it back to a biblical standard in our churches. God gave me this phrase because we have been in an escape room. We've been in this place that has felt contained, this place that's felt like a war room, a battleground. It's like we've been in this place where we've been contending for so long because we know there HAS TO BE MORE than what we have seen or been handed! It’s where people have said, “I’m tired of seeing suicide and addiction rob my family! I’m tired of seeing divorce! I’m over seeing moral failures and perversion!” So we're looking for keys, we're looking for clues. We're looking for those things to break out of that place. And in our nations, we see abortion-to-birth laws passed and gender confusion, to name a few. All these different things that are constantly going against God's plan and design. And there's a generation who were born right now to say, “God, that is not your plan or design for my nation or my city. Give me the key. Give me the key!” And I want to prophesy to you that we are in a season that the Lord is giving us the keys to break out of that escape room for our families and for this generation!
 We are in a period of time where God has given the keys to the house of David back to the Church. That is why God had to shift the Ahab culture that has been permeating every facet of our lives. It's so that David can get back the keys. And when David takes back the keys, the door of that escape room swings wide open. And we are no longer receiving the inheritance of that confinement and imprisonment. We're no longer receiving the inheritance of an Ahab culture but rather the inheritance of the Davidic line and the finished work of the cross of Christ. So let me say this again: you are coming out of that place; you are coming out of the escape room right now. Do you see it in all the things God's been doing in your life? He has been confronting all areas of bondage in your life. He's been pulling, prodding, and shaking things upside down because he wants to set you free in you r finances and your health. We have to leave the escape room of man's methods where we are constantly trying to do things to break ourselves out of what God can only break us out of and what the blood of Jesus could only break us out of. And right now, the Blood is speaking a better word over us. We are in a revolution of the blood of Jesus where it's breaking that which has felt unbreakable and where you've said, “God, you could never heal that person of that Jezebel spirit. You could never set them free of that addiction.” But in this season, because of your contending and your prayer, God is breaking them free, setting you free, and setting your nation free right now. Can you see it on a global scale right now, too? Where there is shaking, things are coming to the surface; things are being resolved and exposed on high levels because God is shaking the earth upside down. The glory is revealing that which needs to be broken out and exposed, and the light of God is shining; it’s shining into those places because God is bringing the gold to the surface. In this hour, the glory of God is being revealed to us and through us. LANDING PADS & OPEN DOORS So, in this season where the Lord is leading and summoning the Church out of dysfunction and out of those escape rooms, he's revealing greater revelation on what we have been battling for so long. What we're going to see in the days ahead is essentially a lot of spiritual assignments unmasked. And what this is going to look like in many ways is even doctrine and areas of beliefs that we've had that have sadly, for many, been foundational and cornerstone beliefs that we, as Christians, have believed; certain things that we've accepted and ingested. We're going to see many of these things unmasked as counterfeits and demonic assignments. The smoke and mirrors battle of our age has been demonic assignments trying to lead us to false virtues, false fathering, false comforts, false accountability, false covering, all those things that look like the right and authentic thing, but they're just counterfeits. They fall short. They're plastic. And so, we're about to see the revealing of these spirits for what they truly are, and in that, the Lord will then bring the Church up to a higher place of understanding who they are and their authority. That can only come by experiencing the genuine and authentic thing. So, as these spirits are unmasked, it will help us understand, and we'll have a greater awareness of the spiritual realm, the mechanics of the spiritual realm, and an understanding of what we are dealing with. We can't keep going into a church, sitting in the pews, and having a cushy Christian experience when there's a dying world out there. And you can't keep being robbed in your marriage, your finances, and your health on a weekly basis, paying your tithes, and going home to brokenness and chaos. No, those days are coming to an end. But the area that I want to highlight to you in this unmasking is what the Lord's been speaking to me as: landing pads and open doors. He's highlighting to us through all this shaking, where we ourselves have actually been landing pads to the enemy's plans, keeping us in further bondage personally and corporately. In 1 John 14:30, Jesus said this powerful scripture: “I don’t have much more time to talk to you because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me.” Some other versions say, “he has nothing in common with me.” You see, when there's nothing inside you that resembles or looks like the enemy, he has no power over you. That means you are no longer a landing pad for the enemy. And so, the Lord said to me last week, “Nate, I am removing the landing pads in your life from the enemy!” What I'm seeing is that we're coming out of an era of battling that Jezebel spirit and the Ahab spirit, but in that, God is actually revealing the landing pads and open doors in our lives, enabling them access. I'm talking personally about where we have things in common with that spirit, where we have things that actually cause us to be landing pads for those things. We are coming to a place of complete victory over those spirits. But in order for that to happen, God had to expose the commonality in us with those spirits and reveal the other faces of how this has manifested in culture in the Church and the world around us. For instance, to make this practical right now, we are seeing two faces of Jezebel. For so long, we've said, Jezebel wants to silence you. Jezebel wants to muzzle you. Jezebel wants to intimidate you. Jezebel wants you to be in fear for your life because we look at the passage of scripture about Elijah running into the cave. But did you know there's another face to Jezebel? That there's also the side of Jezebel that wants to lure you into speaking out of turn? Into being a bitter, angry, venom-spitting voice? It’s where Jezebel puts on a different face and, instead of muzzling voices, seeks to raise up voices with the wrong spirit. It’s sneaky because it looks like God’s heart... from a certain angle. It’s cunning because it plays on the pain and experiences of the hurting Church. But it doesn’t carry His heart. That is why Elijah had to go into the cave and be refreshed in his awareness of the voice of God and the mantle that he carried; otherwise, his pain and his fear would've sent him out of that place and deviated from his calling. Does this make sense? God, right now, is dealing with the landing pads and the triggers and the open doors we've had in our lives. He's destroying the commonality that we've had so we can step out of pioneering and contending for breakthroughs and legacy and finally taste it! So even right now, give the Lord any areas in your life, the landing pads and the places of commonality that you've had with the enemy, forgive those you need to forgive, and give God the pain and the wounds of the past. And lastly, let me say this. THANK YOU for walking this narrow road. It’s not been easy, and it’s been costly when so many are choosing to walk in the dysfunctions they  inherited and have leveled oj, choosing not to fight to break free. But you have stood and contended, like Hannah who was barren...you stood. Like Ruth, you stood. Like Jacob, you have wrestled with the promise even when it looked bleak or as if it had failed. But now, you will see the fruit of this long battle and lead others into the same legacy.
