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!”

(Before you read this word it's important you know how weighty this felt to me.

THE CALL OF THE WILD “For many have felt the pull away from the major franchises that have put me in a box and the shift of desire deep inside them” “It’s been uncomfortable and almost unnatural” “But It’s the call of the wild, to the untamed life, the lifestyle of encounter, my voice, and to the fresh beginning again” “It’s the reviving of hearts and the stripping away of the shrouds of religion stealing our childlike passion” “It’s the call back to simple and free” “Simple relationship” “Uncluttered” “Undistracted” “Whole, and no longer scattered, fractured, broken, and battered” OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL “For many are right now leaving the hamster wheel they have been on for years and decades” “They are leaving the cages of building what no longer sounds like me, and their eyes are opening and following my voice again against the multitude of noise from false fathers and Pharisees” “Yes many right now are feeling the pull away to build what is organic and untainted” “They are still in the wrestle of this step because it looks small and insignificant but what starts out small will soon be a movement of epic proportions” “For it will stir up the suppressed hunger and longing of my people and they will recognize that I am no longer moving upon the systems of man” “What they once saw as rebellion they will recognize is a movement of that which is pure” “And my Glory will do the talking as I show up in power and restore a people that have been shipwrecked and tossed around by the seas of culture” DON’T FIGHT IT ANY LONGER “So don’t fight it any longer” “You feel this way because you have responded to my call” “I know you feel naked and raw” “I know you feel unstable and unsure how to step into this fully” “I know you are struggling to see what is ahead but as you surrender daily to the leading of my spirit you will keep choosing what i am building through you” “For this is not only your deliverance but the deliverance of my people who have been put in Ursula’s music box, silenced, tamed, and caged to something she was never meant to be” “It’s time for my Martha church to become Mary again” “Yes, this is a legacy moment for the church” “Her true inheritance awaits.

I had a dream last night that was so simple yet powerful. In the dream I was with a group of people standing at a large bronze gate waiting to inspect and survey this dream property. “What are we waiting for?” I ask. “The keys to the gate” someone next to me said. Then out of nowhere discouragement broke out and they began to say “This won’t work. It’s past its due date. It didn’t happen and it’s now time to let it go” Suddenly a man in a tattered jacket takes out a thick document and throws it on the ground and walks away In utter despair. They all left In a broken-down truck together leaving me standing there at the gate wondering what I had just witnessed. I felt grieved because it seemed like they had poured their lives into this vision but they just felt done with believing for something that hadn’t come to pass. They were over pioneering and stewarding prophetic words that didn’t come to any level of fruition. I know the feeling. It can be painful and perplexing. As I stood there at the gate I began to have my own moment of despair as it brought up some unfinished dreams and gates that had not been “UNLOCKED” that I had felt that God wanted us to pursue over the years. “Yeh Lord didn’t you say………” “Didn’t you give me all those dreams?” “What about all the prophetic puzzle pieces over the years that lead to this? Now the gate just remains shut?” I slumped to the ground feeling overwhelmed with the feeling of failure and like I had bought a lie and I knew this is what that group that left felt too. Deep hope deferred and soul sickness.. But then the Lord began to speak; “Get up! Get up! Shake off the dust! Pick up your building plans! Pick up the vision that you dropped!” “For I am not a man that I should lie, and I am not one who gives false hope” “I do not give dreams to string you along but to keep you fixed on the vision that I PROMISE TO FULFILL!” “And just as despair and delay is causing my people to let go of what I gave them because the gate seems locked shut, Watch now as I BUST IT WIDE OPEN!” “And this will be a season of SUDDEN PROVISION & DIRECTION to bring to pass what I gave you long ago” “And you will see what has felt at arms reach come into your grasp so you can finally BUILD THE BLUEPRINTS I PUT INSIDE YOU” “For you have said “I can’t go beyond this point without the keys and provision” “And this is why the enemy has assaulted you on every side with lack, loss, debt, red tape and closed doors - so you would go back to survival mode and FORFEIT FAITH” “But you aren’t empty handed and I am not late” “Now watch me FINISH IT!” When I woke up these scriptures came to mind; "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD" Psalms 27:13-14  “This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: will go before you and will level the mountains[ a ]; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name” Isaiah 45:1-3 PRAYER Lord today I am choosing to FIGHT instead of FORFEIT the vision you have given me. Today I am picking them up again and choosing to believe that they are YOUR plans more than mine and that you will fulfil and FINISH them in Jesus' name!

I woke up yesterday hearing the Lord say “ I am DIS-ARMING the STORM!" “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” Colossians 2:15 Then I heard the Lord say; “Tell them that it is now time to enter into the era called TRIUMPH, for I have marked this next season not with relentless losses but with VICTORY” “For in the last season the enemy warred at the church to see if she would fight or run, rise or hide, so he could STOP THEM using the keys I have given them” “But right now I am shaking the church out of the tomb of powerlessness and defeat and giving her back her keys!” “For I have seen my people defeated and feeling like they could never overpower or shift the warfare storm at thier doorstep” “I have seen them so lost in the daily swirl of chatter, witchcraft, and battling low level demons that they haven’t been able to see beyond it” “Have you forgotten that you are the head and not the tail? Above only and not beneath?” “Have you become so accustomed to the view from under the table that you have forgotten that you were given a seat at it?” When did the taunts of Goliath make you lose your victory? “For I have seen your hope dashed in the battle as you have felt like your prayers have fallen and were unheard” “You have felt so beat up that you began to doubt my power and my ability to shift the tide against you” “But in this hour I am DISARMING every assignment against at your mind, your family, finances, and destiny and setting the record straight” “But even better, I am going to do it THROUGH YOU! So get ready as I begin to shake the chains loose and RESTORE YOUR FIGHT!” THE KEYS UNLEASHED “And I am going to teach you how to use the keys I have given you” “And I am going to give you different eyes and a higher perspective to see BEYOND the storm” “And I am going to show you how to effectively disarm the attacks that have come at you daily” “And I am going to give you discernment to see the dynamics, mechanics, reason, and sources of these assignments so you counteract them” “I am giving you the keys to live victorious in a world of many storms and you will learn to soar above them all” TAKING BACK GROUND “It’s time to get back your fight because in your battle weariness you have tolerated the swirl and the attack” “You have tolerated the witchcraft and left your warrior stance in the spirit. Get it back!” “You have begun to hide under your blankets instead of opposing the assignments against you” “So wake up mighty warriors because what you have endured is not the way it will always be” “I know you have become accustomed to a heavy atmosphere and skies of drama but I have called you to clear the air!” “It’s time to release the sound of victory and take back ground!” THE TRUMP CARD OF THE BLOOD “I know the war against you has been next level and has been close to taking you out completely” “I know it has been tempting to give up and hang up your mantle, but now I am going to reveal my hand of victory in your life” “I am going to expose and make a public spectacle of every assignment sent to rob and strip you, uncover you, shame you, and leave you bloodied and beat by the side of the road” “In this season called TRIUMPH I am going to reveal my church as victors and you as my prized champion” “But you have said “How could I possibly come back from this level of loss and defeat?” “And I would say to you “It’s time to see the POWER OF THE BLOOD at work in your life!” “Even right now it’s bringing things into order and delivering you from every plan, attack, tie, demon, and principality sent to kill you before your time. “The blood is the trump card that causes every other power to bow” “So watch now as I begin to turn the tide and clear the storm over your life.

This is a word for the remnant who have been set apart for many years and still have little understanding of: Why you have been set apart. Why you have been rejected and do not fit the current box. Why you are carrying blueprints and language that doesn’t have a place to land yet. In fact even in what many are calling “the new wineskin” you have felt displaced and like you still don't fit. Many of you have been discouraged because you have been waiting for a moment to belong and finally find your kinsmen who carry the same heart and DNA as you. “Lord where are the other remnant?” you have cried out. It has felt like you have entered into 2024 feeling like God is even further SEPARATING you from the pack. “Set apart again? Really?” Yes, we have entered into a season where God is sifting even His remnant, to ready us for the years to come. For even at the tables of the new breed there has been compromise, mixture, and OLD WINE dressed up as new gourds, and the Lord is PROTECTING you from that. Does this mean you will be isolated again? NO! For this is a season where God is rallying and banding the remnant TOGETHER! They will come out of their wildernesses and find those who will not bow to the FAUX WINE MOVEMENTS. It may be a season of greater separation from the old order and the pure, but this time… YOU WILL NOT DO IT ALONE. This will be a season where God is dividing the sheep from the goats, but the sheep won’t be alone anymore. You will find your true herd again. THE NEW GUARD IS BEING APPOINTED I woke up at 2:12 am a few nights ago and felt to look up the book of Micah. “I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob; I will gather the remnant of Israel; I will set them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in its pasture, a noisy multitude of men” Micah 2:12 This was the Lord saying these clear points to us: He is assembling and gathering us - bringing us together as one herd. We will be a LOUD VOICE like a noisy multitude. 2 represents the prophetic house he is building and the division of true and false, old and new. 12 represents Government and the kingdom God is building Then I heard the Lord say, “I am right now choosing my cabinet for the years to come!” “But don’t look to those who look the part, sound the part, and have the credentials, for they did that with Saul, but i will not allow another era of mans government, for i am right now establishing MY KINGDOM built upon the house of David!” Right now we are in a time where God is calling and appointing His movers and shakers for the days to come. He is standing down those who have not stewarded their role well or have been sold out for earthly rewards. He is revealing the cracks in the pavement and bringing in a people who will repair them and build the new thing. And remnant, He is choosing you for this. This is why you have been set apart and God would not allow you to sit at those tables. This is why He kept you in the fire over and over because it was not only the safest place to be but also the place where you would be readied for the summoning to the palace like Joseph. A SAMUEL MOMENT Then the Lord said to me “Tell them that this is a Samuel moment where I call upon them and anoint them for a new post and role” And like Samuel who was born into a time of compromise and where the word of the Lord was scarce, the remnant are being commissioned in an hour where the enemy has tainted the ointment and they will restore the priesthood and the purity of the prophetic office once again. So remnant get ready for dreams. Get ready to be awoken in the night hours as the glory of the Lord visits you and His voice stands you to your feet. And may your response be “Speak Lord for your servant is listening”
