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!”

We need the wild voices to rise up right now because we need to see a new covenant paradigm of the prophetic unleashed on the earth. We need voices that don’t just tear down strongholds and overturn tables, but know how to build what is pure and true. We need those with no selfish motives, voices that step onto the scene not to draw people to themselves but to lead them to Jesus. We need the wild voices because they are a reflection of the Father’s heart and release His intentions into the earth. Just as David, the OG wild voice left the wilderness, and his first call was to take down a giant. Wild voices decimate principalities as a byproduct of their obedience. That moment set off a domino effect that led the kingdom back into alignment with God’s purposes. -The wild voices restore worship. -They restore the priesthood. -They restore the knowledge of God’s voice. THE WILD VOICES DESTROY CELEBRITY CULTURE We are seeing a culture where the messenger has become the focus instead of the King of Kings. 1 Corinthians 14 clearly calls the church to prophesy and hear God’s voice. But instead, there has been an overemphasis on hearing from others while many believers have lost confidence in hearing God for themselves. The wild voices break that cycle. They lead people back into relationship with God. They tear down thrones, altars, and idols built to other things. They call the church back to the fiery altar of consecration and sacrifice. WILD VOICES ARE DELIVERERS As wild voices speak, everything impure begins to run. Nothing can hide as the anointing of the wild voice is released. All counterfeits are exposed. All false gospels and false versions of Jesus are revealed for what they truly are. WILD VOICES BUILD, REDEEM & SEE THROUGH DARKNESS Wild voices don’t just tear down, they build. They redeem. They see God’s handiwork, even in the midst of chaos. They don’t just point out what’s crumbling, they announce what God is establishing. They are constant broadcasters of God’s goodness and His hand upon us, even through trials. Wild voices speak with authority and truth. They don’t tickle ears. They say exactly what needs to be said while also releasing the love and affection of God. IT’S TIME TO BREAK THE STATUS QUO We have disempowered ourselves by believing that only a select few are called to be wild voices. But that’s a lie. We are ALL called to be the wild, undignified voices of God. Like wild stallions and brumbies, we don’t bow to the spirit of religion or the Jezebel spirit that loves to create a façade of spiritual authority. We don’t exist to broadcast what’s falling down. Even in the kingdom, there’s been a massive overemphasis on what is crumbling. While there is truth in that, the wild ones are rising to speak the new narrative and write the next chapter. The wild ones will prophesy what God is doing. They will announce what He is building. They will carry the blueprints for the new era. And they will hand the baton to those ready to run with it. ARE YOU READY TO BE A WILD VOICE? Have you been disempowered by the status quo in the church? Have you been afraid to step into your voice because you don’t want to fall into the same errors you’ve seen in the past? Are you still healing from past rejection and doubt, unsure if your voice even matters anymore? If this word convicted you, then you are called to be a wild voice. -Find your wild pack. -Begin your destiny again. -Pick up the keys and RUN. It’s time.

The reason why the attacks against your family, your livelihood, your marriage, your health, and your children have reached an all-time high in this season is because you are at a threshold. In late 2022 , I suddenly developed back pain that I couldn’t understand. I went to a chiropractor, who looked at me puzzled and said, “Your hip is out.” Confused, I asked, “How?” and he responded, “I have no idea, but your hip is out.” I went home, and instantly, the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel of the Lord (Genesis 32:22-32) leaped in my spirit because it was in that battle that his hip was dislocated. Jacob was at a threshold, not just for himself but for his family. He was crossing the brook Jabbok into his promised land. But more than that, he was standing at a threshold of legacy, his very name would be changed from Jacob (supplanter, deceiver) to Israel (one who wrestles with God and prevails). This was not just about his personal transformation; it was a shift for the generations that would come after him. Jacob’s struggle in the night was a defining moment, a battle that left him wounded but also marked for destiny. This is where many have found themselves in this season wrestling, battling, and fighting for something bigger than just personal breakthrough. THE FINAL STRETCH OF THE WAR I believe we’ve been in many decades of a shift, but we’ve now reached a crescendo moment, a threshold where the battle has intensified like never before. The last few years have been especially heavy, and many are at the point of saying: “God, I don’t know how much more I can handle. I don’t know how much more warfare I can endure. I don’t know how many more unexpected attacks I can face.” You need to know this is a threshold battle. This is the final stretch before crossing over. Many have been: ⁃Fighting and pioneering for legacy. ⁃Warring for the promise over their family, ministry, and destiny. ⁃Contending for the shifting out of an old wineskin and stepping into something new. But because it has gone on for so long, many are growing weary. Some feel stuck, tired of fighting, yet unable to see the breakthrough they have been pressing toward. This season is about moving from breaking ground to being established. It’s for those called to lead their families and the Body of Christ into a place of true health, true wholeness, and true transformation, a place we have longed for but not yet fully seen. THE CROSSING OVER IS HERE I feel strongly that this threshold is about to be crossed. I believe we are stepping out of constant contention, constant warfare, and constant survival mode into a place where: ⁃Freedom will be the norm. ⁃Health will be the norm. ⁃Peace in marriages and families will be the norm. ⁃Being above constant warfare will be the norm. ⁃Thriving financially will be the norm. ⁃Living free from jezebel and narcissism will be the norm. I know this battle has been intense. I know it has been draining, financially, emotionally, spiritually. I know many feel depleted in their strength, joy, and hope. But hear the Lord today: “Tell them: Don’t give up!” Some of you have been battling intensely in your marriage. Others have been warring for your children, your household, and your future. It has reached a breaking point where you feel like your strength is gone, and hope is slipping away. But today, the Lord is saying: “By faith, step over that brook!” Just as Jacob stepped over the Jabbok and left his old identity behind, you are stepping over the place of separation between the old and the new. “You are about to see My power! You are about to see My ability! You are about to see Me shift you out of the dysfunctions of generations past and lead you into health and wholeness!” The Lord says today: I will bring your prodigals home. I will awaken the sleeping. I will restore your everything that the locusts have devoured in these past years. I will renew your strength and joy. And I will FINISH WHAT I PROMISED YOU YEARS AGO! As I’m writing this I feel like the Lord is saying that it’s time for those issues and battles against family to be finalised. -Family court issues. -Prodigal issues -Drug addiction -Marriage and infidelity issues -Financial issues -Lost or red taped inheritances -Generational health issues -Generational mental health issues. TO THE PIONEERS OF FAMILY And lastly, It’s been on my heart today to simply say Thankyou for your yes in the last 1-15 years. In a world chasing success and notoriety, money, and things. You chose to pursue health. To pursue Jesus. Even in the Christian world often deeply influenced by culture and tainted by those same vain and worthless ventures, you chose a different road. Again, you chose the less popular thing, you chose health. You chose Jesus. You chose legacy over appearance and reputation, because let’s be honest, it’s been costly to go this way. It’s been a road of unravelling and pulling back the layers of dysfunctions of many generations. It’s been a road of living on the altar and constant refinery and heart pruning to come out the orphan spirit and starting your sonship story. It’s been a road of warfare and battling to leave the pit of trauma, triggers, and narcissistic norms for the sake of your family and your children. It’s been a road of choosing the long game over bandaiding pain and putting a Christian sticker on it. You chose legacy. You chose to stand up and give your life for what God had in mind for your own family even though you knew it would be a minefield and difficult threshold to cross. Yet you said yes. And while maybe you are still mid way and yet to see the fruit of this calling. You are further than you realise. And the Father is so proud of you. And I feel like today the Lord wants to say over you; “In the next few years you will shift from battle focus to REAPING what you have sown!” “You will shift from warfare and drama to being the Joshua’s and way-makers of this new era!” The blueprints are in your hands. Blood stained. Crumpled. They may not feel valuable but it’s a roadmap out of the wilderness for so many. So on behalf of who is yet to leave, I say Thankyou.. The threshold is here and you are stepping over it in Jesus name!

Right now, many are going through what I call transition opposition, when God transitions you into a new assignment, a new role, or moves you to a new location, and suddenly, warfare, attacks, and opposition arise. It’s the constant barrage of nonstop drama, issues, and distractions, simply because the enemy is trying to discourage you, make you second-guess, and even regret following the call of God to transition where He was leading you. It’s the same playbook every time. As a family that God has led and moved around the United States and Australia many, many times, having now done two international moves, navigated visas, and all the complexities of moving with kids to follow the call of God, I can tell you: transition opposition is real, and the enemy’s tactics do not change. It happens before the move, during the move, and after the transition. The pre-transition phase is when the enemy sends discouragers from all angles, even speaking “thus saith the Lord” to try to convince you that what you’re doing is either an Ishmael, out of step, out of timing, or to make you feel like you missed God entirely. In pre-transition it can also come with confusing situations and mixed insight and revelation, or drama to take your eyes off the course before you. But the greatest opposition often comes when you actually step into that new place, role, or location. Suddenly, you’re not only dealing with the principality of the region you’ve entered, facing new giants in the land, just like Joshua and the Israelites, but you are dealing with constant and subtle attacks. It’s when you’re hit with incessant little irritations from all sides, all designed to make you question: Did I miss it? Am I speaking to you right now? I know many of you reading this have recently taken steps of faith. You’re doing your best to hear the voice of the Lord, but when issues arise, when your finances are drained, when sickness hits your household, when strife enters your family or marriage, it’s easy to wonder: God, are we alone in this? There are so many elements to beginning again, and the heart process of transition can be overwhelming. It’s easy to feel like you made the wrong decision. And let’s be honest, witchcraft often increases in these seasons. There’s slander, opposition, and people speaking against you. It can feel like you’re constantly under fire, like time-wasting distractions are popping up everywhere, draining your energy when you’re already exhausted from the move. But this morning, I was reminded of Paul’s story in Acts 28. He was shipwrecked, stranded, and probably questioning how he ended up there. And honestly, in many seasons of transition, Christy and I have felt the same way - shipwrecked. Have you? I’ve felt like I led my family down the wrong path. I’ve cried out, God, did I really hear You? Why are we shipwrecked? But in that story, Paul lands on the island of Malta which interestingly means “place of honey” And on his first night there, in front of everyone, he is bitten by a snake. “Paul gathered a bundle of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, ‘This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.’ But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.” Acts 28:3-5 And Paul does something simple yet profound: he shakes the snake off into the fire. The locals were watching, expecting him to die. But when he didn’t, they declared that he must be a god. This story gives us deep insight into transition opposition. Paul was stepping into a new land he had never been before, and that snake represented not only attacks and irritations but the principality of the region itself. And what did he do? He shook it off into the fire. So what does that mean for you and me? It means that in transition, we cannot be discouraged or distracted. We must shake off the witchcraft, shake off the slander, shake off the distractions, and throw them into the fire. We have to remember what the word of God says; Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”Luke 10:19 The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28:1 Yes, transition is unsettling. Yes, stepping into a new place takes time. But we have authority. We have dominion. We have the power of the Holy Spirit. And we cannot let distractions and discouragement deter us. And here is something I do know and have seen every time - God is a God of recompense! I believe right now the Lord is saying: Where you have walked through robbery, I will restore. Where you have endured pain and drama, I will restore. Your responsibility? Do not be distracted. Shake the snake off into the fire. The “place of honey” is yours! Occupy it! Doug be bullied! But I want to end with this warning: We need extra discernment right now. I’ve seen it too many times where undiscerning Christians embrace the snake instead of shaking it off. Some even kiss the snake, aligning with that which is demonic, tainted, and defiled in a new season. The enemy effectively poisons their well before they even begin their journey. So I’m praying right now for discernment over you. “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” 1 Timothy 4:1 That’s the trap set for those who don’t discern well. Stepping into a new season but allowing defilement in. So discern well friends! So in this season of transition; Be very careful who you allow around you and what doors you open. Be cautious about what information you share and with whom. Be mindful of where you cast your pearls. Be intentional about what phone conversations you have and what messages you entertain. It might seem excessive, but it’s not. The snakes are coming from every angle, but they cannot harm you, unless you give them access. Transition opposition can actually be your greatest season of multiplication and increase. So consecrate this season to the Lord. Treat it as holy. Treat it as sacred. And watch as God settles you, establishes you, and launches you into the new anointing and mantle He has given you. Now, shake the snake off into the fire!

I have a word for those who feel like their brook has dried up. Those who feel as though their financial wells have run dry. There has been an assignment against the people of God in this season, an attempt to deplete your resources right when you need an abundance to build what God has called you to build. But here’s what happens when the well dries up: there is no movement. When the well runs dry, when the river ceases to flow, when financial resources dwindle, there is stagnation. The enemy knows that if he can dry up your wells, your resources and provision, he can keep you stuck. In 1 Kings 17:7-16, Elijah encountered a similar season of drought when the brook had dried up. The Lord directed him to Zarephath, where he prayed over the oil, and as long as they continued putting out jars, the oil kept flowing, filling every empty vessel. This is not just about personal provision, this is about Kingdom building for the greatest harvest of souls the earth has ever seen. We are standing at the threshold of a massive influx of people coming into the Kingdom, and God is looking for those who will build storehouses, training centers, apostolic hubs, and places of discipleship to contain the harvest. Movements must be established, and foundations must be laid. Yes, this is a season where the infrastructure for harvest must be established, and God is searching for builders and pioneers to accomplish it. The Lord has been highlighting that we must be ready to receive the flood of souls that is about to pour in. Many of you have been given blueprints, visions for revival centers, houses of prayer, missions bases, and creative hubs to disciple and equip people. But it feels like the resources have not come. Many have been asking, “God, I don’t understand what’s happening. I’ve been sowing faithfully. I’ve been giving and tithing, yet my wells seem to be drying up.” There has been a targeted attack against finances, small foxes have been stealing from the vine (Song of Solomon 2:15). These are some areas where I saw people being robbed: -Small, hidden financial losses accumulating over time -Unexpected emergencies and circumstances draining resources -Bad investments, contracts, partnerships, and business deals -Governmental and systemic financial oppression -Religious systems and misalignments -Delayed inheritances and financial breakthroughs The enemy has tried to rob, delay, dry up, and block the flow of provision, but the Lord is declaring: “Where the well has dried up, I am now releasing a flood of provision and breaking the assignment of lack. I am releasing the gold needed to build. I am releasing the provision to establish My plans in the earth. Where the enemy has stolen, I will restore. Where the wells have dried up, I will cause a fresh outpouring. I am funding My movements. I am resourcing My builders. I am providing for My pioneers. Do not fear, for I am unlocking what has been withheld!” Also, I want to highlight that there is a direct connection between financial drought and the Jezebel spirit. Think of what took place when Jezebel and Ahab ruled the land - a drought came! Jezebel’s witchcraftdisrupts financial flow. If you’ve noticed financial struggles during seasons of heavy spiritual warfare, this is part of the enemy’s strategy. But right now, God is canceling that assignment! He is warring against the attacks on finances, and we are stepping into a season of great stewardship and Kingdom wealth. I want to pray over you right now: For your wells to be full again and for brooks to flow once more. For dried-up jobs, finances, and provision to be restored. For debts to be paid off. For those whom God instructed to sow into you to be reminded and moved to obey. For unexpected sources of provision—divine connections, supernatural opportunities, and people moved by the Spirit to bless you. For the financial outpouring needed to build the places for harvest, disciple the flood of souls, and establish the movements God has placed in your heart. The provision you need to step into your destiny and calling, to build what God has told you to build, is coming now in the mighty name of Jesus! Lastly, I pray for those who have been attacked in legal battles over finances. The Lord is going to restore what the enemy has stolen, your time, your money, your health, all of it! These attacks have robbed you of the capacity to do what is in your heart to do. But now, by faith, step into what God has told you to do! The key in the story of Zarephath is this: “Put out the jars.” What does this mean practically? Move by faith. Get things in order. Start preparing as if the provision is already here. Take steps forward as if the finances have already arrived. And the oil will come, in Jesus name!
