I prophesy that you are getting back your war-cry and you are getting back your FIGHT! // Prophetic word from a dream

Last night in a dream I was with a small group of people and we were watching over the nations of the earth when we suddenly began to erupt in what looked and sounded like a tribal war cry and dance as an intercession over the nations. Then I began prophesying;

“Bride, oh mighty bride it’s time to get out of the pit. It’s time to leave the rut you have been in. There is a new day dawning and you must arise with it! Oh, Bride don’t you see this is your moment? This is your glorious hour? Just when you thought you were defeated and it was all over. This is your moment to get your fight back. Oh Bride you are leaving the rut! You are leaving the pit! Put on your strength. Stamp your feet and shake the nations. Justice shall arise. Life shall come forth where there was death. Mercy shall flow and healing shall come. Pour out the oil bride, pour out your wine. The funeral has ended and the wedding has begun! It’s a new day dawning can’t you see? Rise up bride! Rise up mighty warriors!”

“He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand” Psalm 4:2

OUT OF THE RUT & INTO THE REBIRTH

When I woke up I was a mess. I could feel the weight of what I was prophesying and the heart of the Bridegroom Jesus speaking to his bride. I believe God showed me this because the church has been in John 10:10 moment, a choose life or death, hope deferred or faith, culture or the king of Glory moment. It’s the “seed falling to the ground” season and the end of an era, an old wineskin, and the end to the hour of the bride's defeat and wilderness bound, and lying helpless in a pit. There has been an awakening and God is stirring up the battle cry of the church once again where we will say “it’s time for life, it’s time for our re-birth, it’s time to let out our cry in the earth!”

“Awake, awake, Zion, clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendor” Isaiah 52:1

BACK TO OUR ROOTS & BACK TO THE GARDEN

In that new tribal cry, we are taking back what we have forfeited and once again rising to the call to be the bride who isn’t afraid to get our hands in the mud, to see healing sweep our homes, cities, and nations. To get a fresh conviction and branding for the things that grieve the Lord's heart, and to be the crazy ones willing to go and shake things up for the kingdom.

We are coming back to our roots again. Back to the beginning, to our first love and being delivered from every poison and hindrance that has taken us in other directions and reduced our true influence in the earth and numbed our conviction and responsibility to disciple and steward the destiny of nations. This is a reformational moment where we are losing our heads and finding our hearts, losing our humanism and rediscovering the intimacy from the garden, and putting down our daggers used against our brothers and picking up our swords to slay giants and hammers to break new ground. We are stepping into the time where the church finds comes back to her roots and finds her war cry again. Let it be so..

“You are my war club, my weapon for battle-- with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms” Jeremiah 51:20

THE RAW CRY & THE END TO THE MANUFACTURED SOUND

Our raw cry has been disrupted for so long by the manufactured sound and the edited speech that we have forgotten how to let the spirit of God bubble forth and speak through us, prophesy through us, and groan through us. We have feared the full manifestation of heaven so kept it at arms length then wondered why we don’t see heaven invade our homes, churches, and cities. But this cry is the rolling out of the red carpet for the King of Glory Jesus. It’s the desperate cry of a people who are no longer saying “Come within these guidelines” but simply “Come Lord however you want to!”. The days are upon us where we will not be able to hold back the word of the Lord but we will be so possessed by his spirit that we will break out with singing, break out with dance, and erupt with the word of the Lord.

“But if I say, “I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name, his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot” Jeremiah 20:9

THE CUTTING OF STRINGS & THE TAKING DOWN OF GOLIATHS

I felt like this cry was the church standing to her feet after laying in the battlefield for so long. It felt like the FIGHT-BACK of a people who had only known being bound, yoked with heaviness, bullied, tricked, and being pillaged and plundered for a long time. I could sense the veils of lies being removed that has been like a spell over the nation's suddenly breaking as the song rung out. It was a bride being emancipated from every demonic assignment and diversion sent to derail her and take her off course. I saw the strings being cut that was hidden and keeping whole generations tied up and held at bay. I believe this is an hour that we are losing our fear of man and allegiance to our captors and tyrant masters, and we are shaking off the INTIMIDATION OF GOLIATH so we can take our place as the giant killers we were always called to be. Yes, this is our moment to pick up our stones, and swords again!

“But this is a people plundered and looted; they are all of them trapped in holes and hidden in prisons; they have become plunder with none to rescue, spoil with none to say, “Restore!” Isaiah 42:22

THE COUNTERFEIT CRY OF JUSTICE & MOVEMENTS

And as our feet were stamping the ground it was sending shockwaves around the world that were awakening the rest of the bride, breaking off shackles, and revealing and exposing what had been under the surface. I saw the counterfeit movements that were suddenly being revealed for what they really were. They were FALSE and appearing as light but they were part of the enemy's religious agenda to deter the bride from her real post. In my spirit, I heard “Esther will not right for the wrong cause!” This is a moment to know what you are about and for but the raw war cry will make it clear.

WE ARE IN THE MOMENT THAT THE HEAVENS SHALL ANSWER!

As I was processing this with the Lord a scripture dropped into my spirit;

“Raise the war cry, you nations, and be shattered! Listen, all you distant lands. Prepare for battle, and be shattered! Prepare for battle, and be shattered! Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted; propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God is with us” Isaiah 8:9-10

As soon as I read this I heard the phrase “I will answer!” and I sensed that the war cry of the bride was releasing the justice of heaven into the earth and indeed we would see the Lord's answer for EVERY injustice we have seen. There has been a delayed justice and a delayed restoration and vindication upon the church and also you and I, but just like David at Ziklag, we are NOT STAYING DEFEATED but we are going to overcome and recover all! This is a boots on the ground time where justice will prevail. Where righteousness will prevail and shine like the noonday sun!

“He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun” Psalm 37:6

UNCOVER, RECOVER, HEAL, UNITE, REBUILD

The war cry is going to refine the church as we have never seen before. We will see a mass awakening for the harvest but also some will choose not to be awoken. The war cry will create such an invitation Into renewed intimacy and a fresh dance with Jesus.

I felt this war cry and dance was prophetic intercession on behalf of the unborn, and the call to champion life that will see the unlocking of ALL areas of injustice around the earth in the years to come. It will continue to uncover wounds and then bring healing to them so the bride could begin to be a united sound once again and begin to rebuild the nations.

This war cry is the clarion call of the church right now. We must break out and be ministers of breakthrough power in the days to come. We must let go of the ceilings of religion and like David sing, dance, and worship and say “I can be so much more undignified than this!”

I prophesy forth your raw cry and your war cry right now in Jesus name!

I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF RAIN!

By Nate Johnston • June 27, 2025

I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!

FIREBRANDS, GOD IS PLACING FRESH FIRE ON YOUR HANDS AND FEET!

THERE’S BEEN A MIND-BLINDING SPIRIT WARRING!

By Nate Johnston • June 25, 2025

We are right now in the greatest mind war of our time. The Lord spoke to me recently and said, “I’m coming against the mind-blinding spirit that has come over My people.” You see, right now we’re looking at the potential of World War III between Israel and Iran. We’re also facing the possibility of civil war breaking out in multiple areas of the U.S. over controversial issues. But the real World War III has already begun, and that is the world war of the mind. The spirit of this age has crept in deceptively through fear, culture, and media to hit the Body of Christ from so many angles, for so long, that we have become a people being pillaged and plundered in our minds on a daily basis. Recently, the Lord led me to the scripture in John 11:16 when Jesus was going to return to Jerusalem; “Then Thomas said to the rest of the disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him.’” Thomas, whose name [Didymus] means “twin,” also represents the double-minded. I asked, “Lord, what are you trying to show me?” And He showed me: there is a double-mindedness, a spirit of confusion that has come upon the Church. It’s leading people away from the Gospel, away from the narrow path, and trying to reason the Church out of its calling and destiny, even in the midst of chaos. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that has come against the Church, cloaked in wisdom and common sense, to lead her into deception. It’s leading the Church away from truth under the guise of love, tolerance, and acceptance. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that speaks fear, gloom, and doom over these times when we are called to speak hope and redemption, and lead the Church into her greatest days. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that says, “Your greatest days are over,” simply because we’re in a season of storms and battles. It’s trying to shut down the Church and make her powerless, when this is a time we are called to wield the power of the Holy Spirit. This spirit is trying to lead the Church into a false sense of safety, when we are meant to be called into discomfort to see the greatest move of God hit the earth. This mind-blinding spirit has created a chatter of witchcraft. It has warred against believers, created factions, and caused us to rise up against one another, tearing each other down. It’s created confusion to such a degree that many are coming into agreement with the accuser of the brethren, with the enemy, on many fronts. But this is not the heart of the Lord. The Lord said to me, “I am warring against this spirit right now.” There is a war, and the Lord is actively warring against the mind-blinding spirit. I believe He is saying over us: He’s bringing us back into peace and clarity. He’s bringing us back into oneness, into single-mindedness. It says in Matthew 6:22: “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy [single], your whole body will be full of light.” This reminds me of when Elisha’s servant was gripped by fear because he could not see what was really happening in the spirit. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha (2 Kings 6:16–17). This is our prayer today: Lord, open our eyes! We must see what’s happening spiritually and naturally. We must stop interpreting life from the ground level and begin to see from the throne room. The blindfolds are being removed. The fog is lifting. It’s time to come out of earthly thinking. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians 2:6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” We are not victims of the news; we are the watchmen of the hour, the voices that declare from the heights what God is doing in the valleys. Right now, the Lord is delivering the Church. He’s going to use situations around us to deliver us from our own deception where we have partnered with the enemy, with the accuser, with fear, with compromise, with lukewarmness, and with false wisdom. So even now, if you’ve felt like you’ve come under torment, confusion, or compromise, if you feel the weight of heaviness, and it’s brought conflict or distance between you and the Lord, and the pure call on your life, reject it now. Renounce it. Tear up any vows or agreements you’ve made with it. Lay your hands upon your head and pray: “Lord, as an act of my will, I come out of double-mindedness. I repent for double-mindedness. Deliver me from witchcraft, from chatter, and from this mind-blinding spirit and its assignment. I rebuke it now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that my dreams will be restored. My visions will be restored. Revelation will be restored. I come back into sync with Heaven, with hope, and I will see clearly in the days ahead.” Because the real war, the real purpose behind this battle, is that the enemy knows if the Church is blind, we will be unable to see in this critical hour. We will be walking with blindfolds when we are called to see, declare, and prophesy what God is doing in the midst of so much unrest and chaos. We are the news, my friends. We are the beacons of hope, the bell ringers of a new day. No matter what’s going on in the world, we carry hope, strategy, and redemption. Step back into clarity and peace in the name of Jesus. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” — 2 Corinthians 4:4

JULY IS THE MARKER - WE ARE ENTERING THE GREAT CONTRADICTION

By Nate Johnston • June 23, 2025

Christy and I have this saying: that after a day, a week, or a season of warfare, watch because suddenly the snake’s head is revealed. It’s happened like clockwork over the years, where after intense seasons of warfare, or even just a crazy day of warfare, like clockwork, the next day or in a short period of time, the snake’s head would be revealed. It might be that email that comes in, revealing what’s been spoken about you. It might be that intimidation, that threat. Whatever it may be, it’s the snake’s head revealing itself. And it reveals that the enemy has been warring against you. And why? I say that to get to this point. I believe we’ve been in a window of time of tests, trials, and warfare. When we stepped into January 2025, I felt it: it was going to be a faith test. It was going to be a test of whether I’d stick out my calling, stick to the plan, whether I would stay on mission, the one God gave me. Whether I would remain strong, or crumble and fall. Because you see, there’s been an attack against believers since January that has been on another level. And that attack has been designed to surround you on every single side until you crumble. It’s like when Jesus was led into the wilderness and had to battle in His mind, to combat the enemy’s tactics over and over. We’ve been in a season where the enemy’s been relentlessly trying to give us easy way outs, second options, off-ramps at every turn, trying to get us to back out of the call of God, choose the easy thing, or create Ishmaels along the way. Have you felt this? The warfare has been intense. The shadow has increased. The slander has increased. Robbery has come from every single side. Health issues. Bank accounts depleted. Doors shutting. It has been relentless. Yet at the same time, I believe God wants to see what we would do in this moment because He knows what’s coming. It’s been a Romans 8:18 moment, where we’ve seen a whole new level of pain, but it’s going to be followed by glory. So, what I want to share with you is what I believe God is doing from July onwards. In Luke 4:14, it says, “that after He came out of the wilderness, He returned in the power of the Spirit.” I believe that as we step into July, we’re about to see the glory revealed in the very areas where there’s been robbery. We’re about to see the glory revealed in the very places that were tests. We are coming out of that place. And you might be thinking, “Well, this doesn’t make sense. The world’s in chaos. Things are going crazy.” Yes, those things will continue. But I’m speaking to you as a believer about what God is doing in your life, and in the life of the Church. I believe we are entering a shift. A turning of the tide. I believe that starting in July, we’re turning a spiritual corner. For those who have said, “Okay, God, I’m not going to fight against You. I’m not going to resist this process, because in it, there’s protection. In it, You’ve been breaking me out of comforts, breaking me out of mindsets and mentalities I’ve carried, that only warfare could have confronted.” I believe we’re now beginning to see the glory that He has been wanting to reveal and showcase in our lives this whole time. I believe the next six months will be a strange contradiction. I believe in the next six months things will look wild and chaotic in the natural. We’re going to see things happen and erupt in the financial markets and on the world stage. Things will continue to intensify and look debilitating, even hopeless. Yet the strange contradiction will be this: somehow, you’ll feel like your role has flipped. Whereas before, you felt safer in the natural while everything was falling apart spiritually, now it’s like the reverse. You’ll feel an internal strength and clarity in the Spirit, even while the world’s systems shake around you. God is beginning to reveal Himself on your behalf. I believe we’re in a massive turnaround season for those who will reach out and say, “Yes, okay, God.” There is going to be a massive turnaround financially for the Church. We are entering into days where God is bringing in a billion-soul harvest. Things are ripening. Revival is breaking out in messy ways, but glorious ways. And in these next six months, the Lord is declaring over you: You’re turning a corner. You’re going to see the glory now. Where you’ve seen shaking, where you’ve seen suffering, you will now experience My goodness, My mercy, My favor. It’s the Psalm 23 moment where the Lord seats you at the table in the presence of your enemies and anoints your head with oil. So get ready, Body of Christ, because we are entering into the days of the great contradiction. The shaking will continue, but now it will begin to reveal the glory in your life. These are the days of leaving the wilderness endued with power. And just like I said at the beginning, watch for the snake’s head. Because in this moment, God is not just exposing it, He’s empowering you to crush it. The very thing that’s come after you is about to be under your feet. The warfare has been real, the pressure has been intense, but now comes the revealing. The snake’s head is exposed, and it will not have the final word. You will.
