I PROPHESY THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE DELAY TO WHAT YOU ARE BIRTHING!

I PROPHESY THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE DELAY TO WHAT YOU ARE BIRTHING!

Last week I woke up in the night to hearing the Lord say “Don’t delay, its time to release the movement NOW!” I felt such an urgency on this instruction as if we were at the kairos moment the transition and preparation has led us to birth these ministries, expressions, streams and movements from heaven. I instantly thought of the scripture in Revelation 10:6-7

“No more delay! For in the day when the seventh angel is to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets”

The urgency of the hour is the revelation of heaven being revealed, and who has God chosen to reveal His messages? Us! His messages have been designed uniquely and wrapped intricately within us and our own lives ordained to be released to draw people to Jesus and give Him glory. The instruction of the hour is “Don’t forsake what I have placed inside of you but allow me to bring it to completion!”

NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS

As soon as I woke up I kept hearing two words, “Interruption” and “Assassination” and I felt prompted by Holy Spirit to pray and break off a specific demonic agenda that comes against movements and movement carriers. The assignment of assassination has tried to prevent momentum by interrupting the work of the Holy Spirit bringing overwhelming doubt and confusion, tiring opposition and spiritual harassment, and most obviously choking the voice of these ones carrying these movements. But the justice of the Lord is roaring over His people and every single arrow that has been fired is being returned, every single bind is being undone, and for weariness and discouragement is coming a fresh strength and joy for the vision.

“Listen carefully, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals, And who produces a weapon for its purpose, And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin. No weapon that is formed against you will succeed, And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord” Isaiah 54:16-17

David was birthing a movement when Saul sought to assassinate him and interrupt the destiny God had for the nation, but nothing could stop it, and I prophesy that NOTHING will stop the movement you are birthing either! I command these assignments of interruption and assassination to cease right now over those reading this in Jesus' name!

WHOSE APPROVAL ARE YOU AFTER?

There are many tactics the enemy uses to delay what God wants to birth through us but as I was in conversation with the Lord I kept sensing the pursuing love and approval of the Father combating the fear and disapproval many feel in this stage of their spiritual pregnancy. His love right now is breaking the religious shackles of those who have not launched out due to fear of failure, in fear of what people will think, and fear of not having people’s approval and green light.

So many of you are carrying powerful movements but are waiting for someone to call your number and approve you before you jump out, roll out the red carpet, open the door, and give you a platform. I did this for years and all it did was create frustration in me and resentment that no one was seeing what I carried. All the while God was simply asking me to trust HIS approval and begin to step out daily. God is fanning flames in this season that will be wildfires for the nations. Some of the most powerful movements of this season won’t be birthed from the stage and lathered in the approval of the masses, but birthed in obscurity bathed in the fire of the secret place. If God has called you and anointed you and you feel that release then GO!

“ For truly, if you are called to a life-union with the Lord, you are already a free man! And those who were called to follow Jesus when they were free are now the Messiah’s slaves. Since a great price was paid for your redemption, stop having the mindset of a slave. Brothers and sisters, we must remain in close communion with God, no matter what our situation was when we were first called to follow Jesus” 1 Corinthians 22:24

Fear is coming off those who have felt timid about moving forward, every weapon sent to take you out is being stopped and instead you will feel the loving approval of God championing you forward!

THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR

Movements go through a very messy journey before they become tangible and often in this process carriers are tempted to abort the mission before it even sees the light of day! I recently had a vision of the hand of God grabbing rolls and rolls of memories and seasons of people’s lives and attaching them together to be used for something significant. I knew what I was seeing was a photography cutting room and represented the “process” we all go through, but I kept hearing the phrase “the rejection floor” as if these were the moments people faced severe rejection and opposition to their calling, gifting, and the movements they carried. God was collecting these fragments and bringing healing to hearts by resurrecting what looked dead when people had judged and weighed them. Many movements have been tested in fire over and over and even rejected by man so that you wouldn’t be able to point back to yourself or others when Gods light shone upon it and blessed it. Your seasons of rejection are going to be the fuel for what you are about to release but no you won’t look back in bitterness anymore, you won’t look back and feel the stabbing pain but you will realize that it has only ADDED to the potency of what you are birthing! As the Lord took these rolls suddenly they began to play up on a movie screen, but instead of looking messy and chaotic there was a celebration as if the Glory hidden by God even in those hard memories was revealed!

There are those who felt like they have been in this darkroom for a very long time waiting without any change. I saw these people like cellars of aged fine wine that the Lord was taking out of its season of maturation. These are those who have felt “in the waiting” and to the point where you have released it to the Lord but this has been a season God has been stirring up your womb and causing you to dream again, heal from the disappointment and pick up the baton again. You have been asking God “Why has it taken so long?” but in this season you will see why God has caused the wine to mature and ripen longer because of the impact the movement in you is going to have. Not a drop will be wasted and this will be a season of dreams fulfilled and seeing things you had on paper materialize.

PROTECT THE DELIVERY!

God has been warning me and showing me how we need to prepare and protect in a birthing season of movements more than ever. You may already have the crib set up but now it’s time to think about the delivery.

I had a dream just before writing this word where I was In my home and i had a brand new car in my living room I was marveling at. But outside were people circling the house trying to distract me and get in. In dreams generally new cars represent new ministries and movements and upgrade. The home represents your heart and life and in this case it represented protecting my borders from an external invasive force. So back to the dream – i went to the door and began quarreling with one of them but as soon as I did it stirred up a thronging of an angry mob who began trying to shake the house. I knew this was demonic because even the demon Jesus casted out of the possessed man was called “mob”. The warning of this dream was not to engage with the enemy but to take authority and command him to leave. Guarding your perimeters is about making sure there are no areas of access to the enemy or anything in common with him. What are you entertaining? Protect the borders of your heart and your home, family, and destiny will be untouchable.

WHO IS IN THE DELIVERY ROOM?

Right after Jesus casted out the “mob” out of the man, he went healing a few others but one in particular was the young girl who was the daughter of a religious leader.

“When they arrived at the home of the synagogue ruler, they encountered a noisy uproar among the people, for they were all weeping and wailing. Upon entering the home, Jesus said to them, “Why all this grief and weeping? Don’t you know the girl is not dead but merely asleep?” Then everyone began to ridicule and make fun of him. But he threw them all outside” Mark 5:38-40

The Holy Spirit was really highlighting this story to me because I believe its key for us in this season. When you are on the brink of your greatest breakthrough and miracle, when you are about to SEE your promise birthed, you have to also cast out any voices of doubt, confusion, or anything that is opposing what God is trying to do through you. Like the quote “When you are birthing, you can’t have everyone in the delivery room with you”

This speaks to me again of this urgent hour to ensure that NOTHING PREVENTS THE BIRTH!

Who is in the delivery room with you right now? Who are you letting into your heart space? Are you casting your pearls before people who don’t believe in where you are going?

PACK YOUR BAGS

As a call to action, I feel like the Lord saying GET READY. I remember weeks before our daughters were born we prepared an overnight bag for the hospital, and I feel that the Lord is saying “PACK YOUR BAGS, GET READY!” Because even if you don’t see it or feel it God is going to UNVEIL what has been inside of you all this time.

How can you pack your bags? Here are some practical keys;

Live intentionally OFFENSIVE against the fear and anxiety that tries to cause you to retreat or steal your joy
Surround yourself with TRUTH and worship your way into continual peace
Speak and prophesy Gods promises so that you aren’t being seduced by the lies
Take authority of any witchcraft and spiritual assignment trying to numb you, muzzle you, blind you, veil you, and intimidate you.
Take communion often! There is POWER in the blood!
Remind yourself of the victories and milestones
Celebrate the impending birth and get expectant
Cast off the tiredness and weariness, ask for new strength!
Put the vision before your eyes, fix your eyes forward not behind you!

Sow a seed

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BATTLED & SURVIVED JEZEBEL

By Nate Johnston • April 23, 2025

I have a prophetic word for those who have grown up under the demonic agenda of Jezebel, and for those raised in narcissistic environments and battled it their entire lives. Yes, the spirit of Jezebel has always had a target on your back because of who you are... Like Agent Smith from The Matrix, Jezebel keeps showing up, manifesting through different people, personalities, seasons, assignments, and alignments to take you out. It’s been the greatest battle of your life: figuring out how to steward your calling, how to be a voice in the midst of relentless attacks and constant attempts to cancel your calling. This spirit has tried to silence you, shut down your voice, reject you, belittle you, isolate you, and keep you in a cave. She’s tempted you to sugarcoat your words, dilute your message, and shrink your fire so you didn’t keep getting in her cross fire. I know the price many of you have paid for pioneering through this—for choosing health for your families, your marriages, and your future. I know the cost of refusing to tolerate her, season after season, and what you’ve walked through for the sake of not giving up on your calling. But in the hardest moments, you chose legacy again and again, yet it’s been costly. Recently, I was praying into this, especially in my own life, because I’ve battled this spirit for as long as I can remember, I asked the Lord, “Will it always be this way? Will I always have to fight Jezebel?” As I was reading through 1 Kings 19 - 2 Kings 10, the Lord highlighted the story of Jehu, the one who took out Jezebel (2 Kings 9:30–37). And the Lord said: “You are the Jehu. This generation is the Jehu generation, rising to confront and take out this spirit.” But here’s the thing: Jehu overthrew Jezebel, but he didn’t reform the land. “But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord… he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam…” 2 Kings 10:31 He overthrew the person, but not the pattern. He tore down the idol, but didn’t restore the altar. He left a void, and that void became an open door. Right now, the test of our generation isn’t just about calling out what’s wrong. It’s about restoring the priesthood, rebuilding the altar, and leading the Church back into true worship. Because without worship, Jezebel returns. I’ve seen it in dreams repeatedly, Jezebel overthrown, only to be welcomed back through broken, unhealed, and unprotected spaces. Because where there is no priesthood, no purity, and no presence, she comes back to rule. So I asked the Lord, “What is the key?” He said: “Joash.” The name Joash means “The Lord has given.” The Lord said: “The generation of Joash and Jehoiada is now upon you.” Here’s what that means: Jehu may have exposed Jezebel but it was Joash and Jehoiada who removed her legacy. Athaliah, Jezebel’s daughter, rose to power in Judah after Jezebel’s death (2 Kings 11:1–3) . She was a generational extension of her mother’s spirit. But Jehoiada the priest preserved Joash, hiding him in the temple for six years. When the time was right, they overthrew Athaliah in the temple (2 Kings 11:13–16). That was so prophetic because they didn’t just confront the fruit of Jezebel they killed it in the place of worship, as a declaration: “We are taking this place back for the Lord.” They then led a revival of covenant and worship in the land (2 Kings 11:17–18), restoring God’s people to their true identity. And this is the battle we have today. We are not just confronting Jezebel, we are confronting her legacy, her influence, her strongholds in families, marriages, churches, and systems. But we can’t stop at exposure. We must rebuild the altar, restore the presence, and model the priesthood again. But here’s the word for you overcomers - the pioneers, the forerunners, the ones who refused to bow: You are not doomed to fight Jezebel your whole life. God is raising up a Joash generation, sons and daughters the Lord has given who will see and walk in the fruit from your persistence in battle, because you refused to tolerate Jezebel and have prevailed! Now because of you the next generation won’t face what you faced, because you confronted it, took it down, and established healthy! But here’s the key: You must restore your home, your marriage, your inner world into a lifestyle of worship and the right affections. You must refill the void with presence and priesthood. When we do that, we not only evict Jezebel, we close the door for good. And that’s Joash - living in the fruit of victory with no landing pads for the enemy. No more idols. Compromise. Other lovers. Just Jesus again. So the promise over you is this: You’re stepping out of the weariness. You’re stepping out of the endless fight. You’re stepping out of the cave. And you’re stepping into the fruit of obedience. You’re about to see legacy break forth in your children and those around you. You’ve walked through rejection, isolation, intimidation, and endless assassination as this spirit that tried to shut you down at every turn. But you didn’t bow. You didn’t break. And you prevailed. And now the Lord says - You’re stepping out of the fight and into the fruit. Because you chose wholeness over generational dysfunction. Because you confronted what others tolerated. And because you refused to shut down and be walked over. Your children will know peace where you knew warfare. They’ll grow up in safety, freedom, and peace because you tore up the contract you were born into and started a new bloodline. You were the target, but now you have become the testimony. You’re going to watch a generation walk in peace where you’ve known warfare. Because you chose to fight, they will be free. So in the days to come watch as you begin to see FRUIT where you only encountered the FIGHT because the tide is shifting mighty ones and you have overcome! “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” —1 John 4:4

IT'S TURNING AROUND!

By Nate Johnston • April 22, 2025

I want to release a word of faith and authority over you as we begin this week. As I was praying over this week, I kept seeing this image in front of me of a person that was stuck in a corner with no way out, and arrows were flying at them from all sides. I instantly discerned that what I was seeing was someone who had been in a season where they felt very much like their calling had somehow made them feel like they’ve just been through constant assailing by the enemy, with constant arrows from all sides. Thats where you have felt exposed. That’s where you have felt bombarded. You felt like you’ve just been attacked from every single angle. Then I began to really feel like it was similar to the scripture that says: “But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or hidden away in prisons. They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no one to say, ‘Restore!’” — (Isaiah 42:22, NIV) I began to feel authority rise up in my voice. I began to feel an authority saying, “No! This is injustice. This cannot happen. This must turn around now!” Then I began to prophesy: “Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus! Restore in the name of Jesus!” As soon as I said that, Deuteronomy 23:5 came to mind, where it says that every curse turns into a blessing. So I began to prophesy: “Lord, every curse will turn into a blessing. Every curse will turn into a blessing. Every single assignment of the enemy will turn into a blessing. Every area of robbery, every area of financial hardship, every area where the enemy has come after finances, after health - God is going to turn it all around.” And that’s when it hit me - THIS IS UNCTION OF A TURNAROUND! It’s the sensing that things had to shift! I began to prophesy: “Turnaround now in the name of Jesus! Turnaround now in the name of Jesus!” As I began to declare this, I began to see things beginning to shift in the atmosphere. Then suddenly I began to hear all this chatter in the spirit of people who had been worn down mentally to the point where they no longer believed that God could turn these situations around. And I suddenly realized the key: God is wanting to shift and turn around situations right now, but the enemy has worn down your authority and your faith to the point that you no longer believe He can do it. Hope deferred has crept in to such a degree that it’s made it feel impossible that God could move. And so I feel that even right now, God is coming against those mindsets. He’s coming against the fear. He’s coming against the intimidation of the army. He’s coming against the hope deferred that constantly makes you feel like nothing will be able to shift or turn around. He is restoring in you a boldness and authority to begin to speak to the things around you and cause them to be removed and those mountains around you to be cast into the sea. And that’s what God is doing this week. He is hitting up against your mind and the foreboding keeping you captive. You’ve been looking at the obstacles you’re facing right now in your finances, health, marriage, and everything else, and they look like mountains. The Lord says, “Where has your faith gone? Where has your authority gone? Where has your boldness gone? I am your protector. I am your provider. I am looking after you and watching over you. Yes, the war has been constant against you. Yes, the enemy has been trying to wear you down. But He says to you “this week, I want you to do what David did - and strengthen yourself in me!” “I want you to step out of the place of faithlessness and cowering, out of begging for the crumbs under the table” “I want you to shift your mindset, and as you shift your mindset, I’ll shift your circumstances!” “Even right now, begin to break every agreement with fear” “Break every agreement with hopelessness and despair that’s caused you to stop dreaming” “It’s caused you to drop your vision in the dust” “It’s caused you to stop wearing your mantle and slip back into survival mode in a time where I want you to thrive and dream with Me” Then I was reminded of something so special to us. Over the years we’ve experienced this strange but beautiful phenomenon in our lives. Whenever we’re in the thick of spiritual warfare, when we feel like we’re being preached at by our circumstances - that’s when God brings us a sign of His nearness. It happens like clockwork. But it’s so simple that you could miss it if you aren’t childlike. We see ducks in twos and they show up in odd places, at odd times. It’s always just when we’re beginning to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. It’s God’s subtle reminder: “I see you. I’m with you. It’s not over.” But this year, on our anniversary, it was different. Two doves appeared on our back fence and they stayed for a full week. It was as if God was saying: “Watch ME turn this around! Not by night nor by power!” And even though we were still in the middle of the storm the breakthrough hadn’t come yet His goodness showed up as a downpayment. Sometimes, the sign isn’t the full breakthrough, but it’s the reminder that He hasn’t forgotten you, and that the turnaround is closer than you think. There are many right now trying to ask God, “Where are my next steps?” but you’re not thinking with faith, you’re thinking with fear. And the Lord says: “It’s time to break that off. I’m reversing everything that’s come against you, and I’m turning it. And some would say, ‘Could this turn in a day?’ Yes, it can turn in a day. And the Lord says “you will watch in this season, as you partner with Me again not with the accuser, not with fear, not with lack but as you choose to partner again with Me, “You will see every single obstacle and every mountain around you crumble into the sea” But you need to partner with Me again. Will you partner again with My Spirit and reject the patterns and mindsets of this world? It is time to step back into a mind-renewal season that actually brings about the shifting of circumstances. Because the fruit of worry is actually causing that which you fear to come to you. But as you shift out of that, It will cause the fruit of your renewed mind to be that you see the kingdom of heaven invade your world, your lifestyle and you’ll see things shift around in a short period of time.” So give me your heart and mind and I’ll turn around the things around you that have tried to do in your strength and failed, and silence the storm”

IT'S TURNING AROUND!

WHEN THE OLD WINE RUNS OUT..

By Nate Johnston • April 19, 2025

I have a word for those who feel like they have come to the end of themselves. The end of direction. The end of their past blueprints and vision. The end of revelation and insight. The end of an old assignment. Maybe even community.. It’s like the wedding at Cana when the wine ran out. The barrels are empty. You feel empty. “God where from here?” “Jesus bring new wine out of me!” But there’s a silence. Almost a sense of being completely alone and even abandoned. It’s the scary place of being in between what was and what is to come. You know the new wine is coming. You know it because you know that’s what God does. But right now, it doesn’t feel like anything is on the horizon and it feels like everything is falling apart. Warfare has increased. Robbery has increased. And with a lack of vision and clarity and direction you feel like you are just “existing” or floating. WAITING for the next step or instruction. Yes, the old wine has ran out. You can’t drive that car anymore. You can’t wear those shoes anymore. You can’t hold onto that tattered jacket anymore. The old won’t sustain you for another day and you can’t bring it with you into tomorrow. Then comes the discontent. “Is this bitterness? “Lord is my heart sick? Am I in rebellion?” “Or is this you leading me somewhere new?” You are looking at the empty wine pots of your life and just feel strangely “used” Burned out. Flat. Exhausted. Old manna rotting on the ground. Trying to reconcile what you gave your life for that has seemingly only led you to this “nothingness” Yes, you ran out with the wine. You died with the last drops. You had to, so He could now do what you couldn’t do. And so he could lead you into a new chapter you would never step into still carrying the old. It’s Jesus in gethsemane crying tears of blood, like they were the last drops of the old way of life. Old mindsets. Old covenants. Dysfunctions. Pain. Trauma. Addictions. Lack. Rejection. Fear. Torment. Knowing He was going to the cross so that the real new wine could be poured out upon the generations to come and break the bondage of the past. Knowing you right now would need a promise and a signpost of Gods goodness when you were experiencing your own “lost” and unknown season. And this resurrection weekend, I know this is a prophetic reminder for those still in a “death” to the old season. SUNDAY IS COMING! I know the second day is painful and confusing. But resurrection is coming. But not the old you. The weighed down you. The new you. The new wine. The new manna. I know you feel like everything has died but on the third day the tomb was found empty! Yes empty is not the sign of death, but of new life coming!!! So today can I invite you with me to give Jesus our last drops of the old? Let’s give him this moment of “in between” Let’s give him our fears, expectations, worries, and mindsets from our last chapter and ask Him for the new wine to start flowing in our lives. The new wine - the blood of Jesus that SPEAKS a better word. That breaks and annuls bad contracts and soul ties and shuts demonic doors. Yes the blood that overrides all! And I prophesy that you will shift from trying to figure this out in your own strength to seeing the new wine break through for you in Jesus name! This weekend Christy and I are taking communion over every one of you and praying for the blood of Jesus over you and your families! Join us! "and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel" Hebrews 12:24
