I SAW THE HIDDEN SPIRITUAL ASSIGNMENT TRYING TO THWART THE TRUE MOVE OF THE SPIRIT & AWAKENING

I SAW THE HIDDEN SPIRITUAL ASSIGNMENT TRYING TO THWART THE TRUE MOVE OF THE SPIRIT & AWAKENING

Before I share this word I want to make it clear that this word is in no way speaking against the needed justice and restoration in the black American community, but this is a word to reveal and expose the work of the enemy that is trying to move against the healing and restoration that God is wanting to see right now and the work of the Holy Spirit to to mobilize a generation for harvest. This is a word of exposure to the tactics of the enemy that seeks to keep us divided, suppressed, oppressed, powerless, and yet again controlled and manipulated to his agenda and a call to step into our shoes as sons and daughters in this difficult and messy time of humanity.

THE SNAKE & THE DRAGON

I went to bed a few nights ago troubled and I asked the Lord two questions; “What is swirling in the spirit that I cannot see?” and “What are you doing that I cannot see?”

As soon as I fell asleep I went into a dream. In the dream I saw two figures moving amongst a crowd of people that were hidden from them. I looked more closely until I saw it, it was a snake crouching low in the grass and it was busy wrapping its tail around people’s legs and laughing as they tripped and fell. Many people began fighting and accusing each other all the while the snake was moving around incognito causing mischief and mayhem.

That’s when my eyes adjusted to the second figure of a dragon that was standing further back watching over what the snake was doing. The dragon was doing something in the atmosphere, like a swirling of wind and fog and creating a sense of confusion. It seemed like it was governing the weather patterns and creating turmoil and perpetuating the chaos atmospherically. At first I was annoyed at the snake for causing such problems, but then I realized that the snake was also sent as a distraction so we wouldn’t see the plans of the dragon that was being released.

After I had the dream, I woke up still feeling troubled because now I felt like God was speaking to me about what was spiritually taking place that many couldn’t see.

In the Bible the snake obviously reveals the enemy who in the garden deceived Adam and Eve to cause them to act outside of their identity and purpose. Right now the enemy is causing chaos and snaring people into fighting, bickering, and arguing, it’s diverting their calling and purpose! It was also interesting that it was the snake's tail wrapping around them because the enemy wants us to act like the tail not the head right now. It’s so subtle that we don’t even recognize when we have started reacting out of victimhood and anger instead of responding out of who the Father has called us to be. The other tactic of the snake is to DIVERT people away from being a mouthpiece of truth and cause them to be a messenger of the enemies gossip and propaganda. We are supposed to live above the snake-line, above the chatter, and the noise, and be in tune to the heart of God especially in moments of turmoil.

CAUGHT IN HIS GAME

The dragon was busy at work swirling the atmosphere and I could see in different parts on the horizon were tornadoes he had created but it was the fogginess and confusion that was the worst. So what is the dragon? The dragon in the bible is generally associated with the spirit of leviathan.

“In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea” Isaiah 27:1

The main role of Leviathan is that it works against the move of the spirit and the power of God by provoking fear, intimidation, harshness, bitterness, and operating out of pride or soulish strength. This spirit is a twisting serpent so it twists and turns things for it’s agenda and seeks to keep people caught up in a fight they will not be able to win outside of the spirit of God! Over the years when I have sensed this spirit in operation it normally manifests itself in religious wars between churches or people that instead of being a move of God they begin to war against each other and it stifles the move of God. What  is necessary to point out though is that this dragon was not down in the grass doing the small and aggravating acts against people, but it was operating globally and trying to shroud the nations and pull the wool over its eyes. This spirits purpose is to counter the move of the spirit but turning people on people and nation upon nation. It’s counterproductive to a move of God, a move of repentance, and a move of the spirit that ushers in real change. It wants the revolution to be man's way and not God's way. It wants to pour fuel on the fire of national crisis instead of the healing balm to heal the land. This spirit has been operating for months now trying to subtly recruit people to turn on each other instead of turning TO each other and that’s not the wave we are wanting to join.

IN THE FIRE OF THE FRESH BAPTISM

So as I woke up processing what I had just seen in the dream I suddenly heard a scripture loud and clear and I knew it was God replying to me from my other question; “What are you doing right now?”

“Those who repent I baptize with water, but there is coming a Man after me who is more powerful than I am. In fact, I’m not even worthy enough to pick up his sandals. He will submerge you into union with the Spirit of Holiness and with a raging fire!He comes with a winnowing fork in his hands and comes to his threshing floor to sift what is worthless from what is pure. And he is ready to sweep out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his granary, but the straw he will burn up with a fire that can’t be extinguished!” Matthew 3:11-12

Right now we are in a time of history where God is shaking the earth for His glory and baptizing the earth in the Holy Ghost and fire. It’s been the most intense refining we have ever experienced, why? Because God wants us to be the pure bride He can use mightily in the greatest harvest we have ever seen, but we haven’t been ready. He wants us to be the bride who have their oils topped up and fill ready for the bridegroom not the bride with a flickering flame trying to borrow some oil from their neighbor. What I have noticed about God is that he doesn’t cause chaos but He uses it to bring healing where the enemy only wants to incite chaos. Around the earth during this pandemic we have seen so much arguing, fighting, and disunity and while the enemy is snickering, God is laughing too because it only exposed the root. It only revealed what was hidden that was preventing what we have been crying out for. The Holy Spirit just keeps pouring out himself on His people and using his winnowing fork to untangle us and detach us from old things and fleshy ways. Things that keep opposing the move of God and revealing our true need for a CHANGE, a TURNING, and a CONVERSION from death to life, under to above, and victimhood to overcomes. This is where we are right now. Can you see the difference? Do you have eyes to see? God wants healing and true repentance in areas of injustice. Racism grieves him, abortion grieves him, political games grieve him, but without the shaking and the fire we would keep brushing it under the carpet for another 20 years. It’s being revealed for a reason. At the same time, we can’t lose our discernment and let the enemy piggy-back onto a true move of justice but adding evil and hidden agendas that do not result in healing and true change. He only wants to stir the pot and keep making it messier and for the division to increase. That’s not a move of God. That’s a move of revenge and will not achieve any measure of justice.

HOW YOU DRINK RIGHT NOW DETERMINES THE OUTCOME

My third question to God came yesterday as I was processing everything, I said “Ok so what do I do right now?” and instantly I felt like I was looking up the story of Gideon and his men.

“So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the Lord told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink . The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the others go home.” Judges 7:5-7

I believe God is asking us to look to him right now more than anything. It doesn’t mean we ignore issues, no, but unless we drink right now we will only regurgitate the fear and hysteria of the media that sounds wise but it’s the twisting tongue of leviathan that places a veil over those who aren’t discerning it. It’s a call to intimacy and seeking the heart of God when most are wanting to raise their hands to fight. This is the secret. We are called to raise our voices right now more than ever before. We are called to war and to be the restorers of the streets and injustices but if we go to war without drinking, empty, and without oil, we fall into the trap of enlisting for a diversion of the fight we were created for. It’s less popular but let me ask you, who will drink right now? What sources of sustenance will you drink from in this time? Media, or heaven? Trending tags, or Jesus? One has solutions, restoration, justice, peace, and power, and the others don’t.

Today I encourage you to look to Jesus because He never stopped being the solution. Every idea, strategy, and method of resolution outside of or separate of Jesus won’t have the desired outcome. Remember it is JESUS that put's his foot on leviathan and slays him, not us. We just have to stand in authority and pray. Right now we need to hear heavens report, hear what the Holy Spirit is saying and doing. Are you speaking from His heart? Are you trying to process on your own? Jesus, we invite you into this moment of history because that is where you work best!

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

By Nate Johnston 24 Apr, 2024
Opposition to the deeper REST/RESET This is where the enemy wars against you entering the secret place, bombarding you with busyness, striving, pressure to get things done, and sudden overwhelming distractions. The healing and heart clearing is so important right now and for some God is doing a complete makeover, cutting hidden ties, and removing wounds and trauma you didn’t even know you were carrying. Opposition of CLARITY to receive revelation/blueprints This is where the enemy sends chatter and words against you, where the atmosphere feels foggy and confusion tries to set in, and while God is always speaking it feels like the pieces don’t connect or seems unclear. For many this is manifested in the battle of the mind coming against them right now and the temptation to fall back into old mindsets, fears, and panic, but has been mainly been coming through peoples words of mockery and judgement. The war against you to RECEIVE is because the delivery is vital right now. Opposition on your VOICE In a time that the pure and clear prophetic has never been needed more there has been an obvious assignment to shut down voices rising up. Often disguised as wisdom, safe-guarding, and protecting purity (which are all necessary) this imposter spirit wants to shut down the prophetic by causing division, fault-finding/critical spirit, and instead of broadcasting hope - broadcasting opinions and agendas. This causes true voices of hope to shut down and hide. Opposition on what God is BUILDING in you This is where the enemy very directly hits you in the very area God is really adding favor, anointing, conviction, and vision in. He wants to sabotage it by making you second guess yourself, bring in controlling people and measures to taint it, or cause delays and setbacks/closed doors in the places God has promised. Opposition to your MANTLE and new mission/appointment Very much the same as what God is building in you but specifically the opposition that comes as a direct result of the noticeable increase you have stepped into and the office/appointment you have before you. The enemy sees the new mantle, your sudden fire and rising authority and has been warring against that appointment with weariness and disappointment. This is where you need wisdom and discernment to know that you aren’t taking on yokes, wrong armour, or peoples stuff, but only what God anoints and mantles you with. WHY AM I DEALING WITH OPPOSITION RIGHT NOW? - God is taking you from GLORY TO GLORY. - Your story is changing. Your track history is changing. - God is LIFTING you out of a whole way of living you got way too used to, administering his healing balm, restoration, and justice from many years ago. It’s the line in the sand so you can move into this season FULLY. - New blueprints and VISION are coming to you! You are in a new unknown era and God is giving you clear GPS directions, coordinates, and mission details for you to steward and walk out. - Your once hidden, squashed, silenced, and timid voice is suddenly ROARING from within you and making its way to the surface. You have no agenda, no territory to selfishly protect, and no motives or self-promotion and the earth needs the pure sound of your voice to cut through the noise. - God is BUILDING you, ESTABLISHING you, ANOINTING you afresh, and moving through you in a way you have not seen Him do! - You have been commissioned by God in the wilderness and now you are coming out of that season with a weighty governmental mantle and call to the nations to see them come to Jesus! SO HOW DO I RESPOND? - Take higher ground. PURSUE the secret place. FIGHT for it. It says in Hebrews 4:11 “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest” It can be difficult in pressure but it's the only place you can get free/clear. - Be armored up. Take communion regularly. - Rebuke the wind and waves. This is your offensive stance. Get out the word and bind up what is coming at you. Clear the atmosphere. Tell the opposition to STOP in Jesus name. - SHAKE IT OFF & MOVE ON! In Acts 18:6 it says “But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” Don’t let it stop you, hold you back, or slow you down. - Keep your vision before you regardless of what you see. Write down the vision, prophesy it, steward your promises, and guard them with your life. Look at what GOD is doing! We must keep our eyes on Jesus more than the storm that surrounds us, more than any pandemic. What is God doing and saying over you right now ?

Today, as we were traveling I had a vision of a bloodline painted on the ground that looked like the border of states or nations. Then I saw people approach the line and put things in a trash can before they then JUMPED over the line. Instantly I thought of the Australian border security and how it is illegal to bring seeds from other nations that can harm our habitat. Then I said out loud “Old seeds have had to die in order to crossover” Then the Lord said, “Gethsemane is still a garden” and it hit me. We have been in a season where the Lord has been bringing us through the greatest purging season we have yet seen. It feels like death. But it’s not to us, but to the old place we have been in. But something has shifted. You have crossed over and haven’t even realized it. You spent so long praying and contending for a shift and it’s right now upon you. It always begins spiritually before it begins to show up in the natural, but it’s happened. This Passover was a crossover into an internal shift of epic proportions. Your appetite and affections have changed. Your vision is updating rapidly in real time. You can’t explain how you feel because you are still trying to get your bearings but you know your feet are about to move and you are feeling the winds of change and the quaking of a good kind of transition beneath you. You have felt so lost especially in the last few months but you can begin to taste the rain in the air after the drought and sense that it’s all about to connect. The emptying and the heartache are all part of the process that inevitably lead to a brand new day and a fresh wind... The enemy has raged and sought to rob, steal, and destroy you from every angle but NOTHING can stop what the Lord is about to do in your life. NOTHING! Does he know that pressing and crushing only increases you after some time? Do you know that? Now let me prophesy: You are coming back into your fullness. You are coming back from the brink of death and out of the dark chasm you have been living in and there will not only be a comeback but there will be INTEREST paid for everything that was robbed and stolen from you! The blood of Jesus has spoken over you and it has declared “Passover!” but now the Lord is declaring over you “Your crossover is here!” So get up off your sickbed and shake off the defeat and misery and prophesy again son/daughter because it’s here in Jesus name!

Since we crossed over into 2024 I have noticed a massive shift in my dreams from the Lord. One of the common themes I keep dreaming about is healing and deliverance, but in every dream, it’s not just happening individually but in masse. It’s become quite common for me to dream where I am seeing people encountering freedom and deliverance on such a scale and level of power and glory that I will wake up feeling it still lingering. It’s captured my heart. The longing and desire of Jesus to see His people truly free. I feel it in my bones: we are crossing over. We have bound the church for too long. The pews have been places where sickness has thrived and we have normalized issues that Jesus healed people from in the Bible. We have celebrated dysfunctions, mental illness, and given the enemy our high places instead of casting out the snake, defying Jezebel, and calling out strongmen for what they are. They have sat at our tables for too long, poisoning pulpits, compromising the bride, killing marriages, and raising prodigals. We have band-aided what has plagued us instead of driven it out with the power of the spirit. We have been sick with nowhere to go and no doctors, nurses, or healers to lead us to wholeness. But yes, those days are over. We are crossing over. TURN OFF THE ENTERTAINMENT Recently in a dream, I heard the Lord say “My church shall be a hospital for the sick again, and no longer the concert” This shook me deeply and broke me realising the current state of the church where we have become more about entertainment, performance worship, big screens and smoke machines, celebrity speakers, cleverly crafted motivational messages, and emotionally charged atmospheres. They give you goosebumps and those moments of temporary emotionalism but are often void of the presence of God and His power to save, heal, and transform the broken. People come because they are deeply broken and they leave…still broken. Instead, they got a show and a self-help bandaid that lasted days if not hours. That’s not hope. That’s not the gospel. That’s not Jesus. That’s another Jesus. That's not evangelism if no one is being changed. That’s not prophecy if it’s enabling dysfunction. We need the power of the spirit again in our churches not gimmicks. We need true connection and community, not a false sense of belonging in exchange for our 10 percent. We have been going to concerts all along and have been paying the price of admission. But no longer, because the concert days are coming to an end and the days of the hospital church are coming back again. THE TOUCH OF HIS HEM And I hear the cry of the world and the church in bondage; “If I could just experience peace!” “If I could just be freed of this pain!” “If I could just get rid of this addiction!” “If I could just silence the tormenting voices!” “If I could just be WHOLE!” And right now there is a longing rising like a deep groan. It’s a birth pang resounding in the earth of a people craving true freedom - the kind that only Jesus can bring. It’s the cry of humanity like the woman with the issue of blood, desperate to be free. That’s why people flocked to Jesus. They were bound and he made them free. He didn’t give them a spiritualised theatre performance and then let them stay oppressed. He set the oppressed free. Jesus was so focused on delivering the oppressed that He would go out of his way to do it. The woman at the well in Samaria was not on Jesus’ intended path but He changed His route just to MAKE HER WHOLE. And right now He is doing the same thing to the church: changing our route to set as many free as possible. We are detouring away from the powerless self-help, inspirational quote Christianity and merging back onto the road of raw power and deliverance. And to those who think I am saying that creativity and the arts are wrong. Please listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying. The arts are worship and are powerful and necessary if they are coupled with the power of the spirit, but on their own, they are a feast in a prison cell. WE CAN’T PLAY SAFE It’s time to break the ceilings of man we have placed over our churches. They have desensitised us to the miracles, signs, and wonders that are meant to be commonplace. It has weakened our confidence in the blood of Jesus. It has reduced the power of the gospel down to goosebumps during worship and that’s a mockery to the spotless lamb that was slain. Pastors and leaders, you can’t play it safe anymore! Bring in the bound! Bring in those facing impossibilities that only Jesus can fix! Repent for your lack of faith and being double-minded. Ask God to remind you again of His mighty power and exploits. Then by faith, open your doors and call for the sick and oppressed and watch what God does I dare you. IT’S COMING BACK! 4 months before Jeff Jansen passed away he called me out of the blue with a word. “Nate you are going to see the anointing of A.A Allen break out again around you. Get ready because what has been lost is being restored!” I believe this. In fact, it’s been happening more frequently and unexpectedly. It’s been stirring me deeply and breaking any desire to be safe and enjoy a tidy meeting anymore. We need the messy meetings again, where the holy spirit is moving in such a way that there isn’t a still person in the room. It’s where you have one section experiencing the joy of the lord, laughing uncontrollably as the Holy Spirit breaks off years of deep-seated depression and oppression. It’s where you have another section going into visions, encountering the glory of God and being irreparably changed. It’s where people begin manifesting without hands even being laid on because strongmen who have been there for decades suddenly get evicted in the weight of the glory in the room. It’s where God touches the minds of those who have been mentally bound and in moments coming into peace and their right minds again. It’s where the worst failures in human standards get baptised in fire and step into a new beginning. It’s where addicts hand over their drugs and pipes. It’s where we begin to see the dead raised normalized again. The blind seeing. The deaf hearing. And the mantle of Jesus, Isaiah 61 falls upon the church again, and we experience the GREATER WORKS Jesus said we would do. That’s the hospital church, and it’s coming back. “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning. and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated, they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations and in their riches you will boast. Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours” - Isaiah 61:1-7  RECEIVE THE POWER Now for those reading this who are experiencing impossibilities and this word felt like both an uncomfortable confrontation and a soothing balm, please read this last part. Jesus wants you healed and whole. Hope deferred has sunken into the church like a slow-releasing poison. It’s the result of years of the enemy delaying breakthroughs and seeing sickness thrive instead of decrease, financial issues abounding, dreams being smashed on the rocks of disappointment, mental wars flourishing, and demonic strongholds getting stronger. The narrative the enemy has wanted you to believe is that you are powerless and God has no interest in setting you free. Right now break that lie! Lay your frustration, and hope deferred down. Shake off the lies of the enemy! Let me pray over you. Jesus, according to your word SET THEM FREE! Every demonic spirit oppressing them GO in Jesus' name! Every strongman of sickness and infirmity GO in Jesus' name! Every assignment of lack leaves now in Jesus' name! Jesus make them WHOLE in the mighty name of Jesus! Now mantle them with power from in high again, and raise your end-time church as the surgeons and healers you called us to be. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” - Acts 1:8

(The Lord gave me this word a week before we had our first gathering in Colorado Springs on March 31st 2024) I heard the lord say, “The eagles have been looking for a place to gather and have found none." Alone in their nests. Hidden in crooks and caves they have felt restless and looking for their people. A company who aren’t about building the next empire or setting the next exclusive table of elite celebrity Christians, but a people with no agenda but Jesus. But they have been nomads and vagabonds, looking at their wings molting and feeling like their greatest days were behind them. But the lord says “My eagles, now is the time to gather! For your Lone Ranger days are over. Your days of longing for the new wine and not seeing it are over” In exchange for your hunger and desperation I am giving you what you have been longing for. I am now gathering my eagles in their nests across the globe and they will experience my latter glory says the Lord. For I have marked you as my new breed. A set apart people created for this kairos moment. To lead the charge at the turning of the the tide. Many have said “What is the point? Our nation and nations have decided their fate!” And the lord would say “Josiah generation rise up. Esther generation rise up!” For I am raising up new kings and deposing bad stewards!” (Daniel 2:21-22) You are the kings I am raising up for this hour. My remnant who I have reserved who have not bowed their knee to Baal. You are here at the turning of a tide because I have anointed you to lead the church into the new You have said “We are done with the old manna!” We are done with compromise and mixture and culture telling us what we can and can’t do and can and cannot say. "We are the voice of the one crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the lord!” You are the ones that won’t bow, won’t relent, and wont hide in caves anymore. You thought your flame had burned out after years of going through valley after valley and battle after battle and dark night after dark night but you have only grown in the dark. You have only increased. In the dirt you died and now the Lord says “In this moment I am now anointing you fresh for this hour of mighty exploits!” “I am mantling you with the double portion of my spirit to rise up as my pure mouthpieces, to confront the compromise and mixture in the current house, and build the new.” You will dethrone kings and evict principalities. You will tear down ideologies and lies cast like a veil of blindness over the nations. And you will see my righteousness exalted over this nation and you will establish my kingdom. So stop running and stop hiding. You are here because you can’t do the old thing anymore. “In fact, this is a moment that you must lay down the last remnants of the old season. It’s time to be emptied so I can fill you, mantle you, and robe you for the days to come” My eagles now is your time. For even now I am breaking the assignments of frustration and chaos that have been sent against you and your family. Fires that have erupted over the years to keep you grounded in a season I have called you to fly, to soar and hear what I am saying. This is a new day and the turning of the tide. “Now!” The Lord says; “Get ready for the new epoch - a season of the diminishing of man’s systems and empires and the era of the remnant. It is now upon you!” We are in the hour of the convocation of eagles and the gathering of those who seek only my face and nothing added. Then I heard the lord say “You have only been in the birth pangs up until now but get ready because the birthing is coming” It is the birthing of my pure and spotless bride that will emerge and set things right. “So my eagles, it’s time to go from flying solo to gathering.” “Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and where my people are in unity together as one voice there is an anointing that looses chains of wickedness and bandage.” For just as there was a purpose to the prophets in Elijah’s day being hidden, there has been a purpose to your season of hiddenness. But that hour is over.” “I am calling you forth and unravelling you from the bonds of the past battles.” “I am breaking off the deeply embedded weariness and trauma that has been sitting like a poison in your soul.” “Like a demonic fatigue it has rested on you and stolen your strength and vision, but NOW you shall rise up on eagles wings again and walk and not faint!” “For how can you fly without strength? And know where to fly without my direction?” “This is why I have responded to your cries and have answered.” This is the turning of the tide that has been against you. This is where I rebuild you. Restore you. Rejuvenate you. Resurrect you. “And set you loose for your next season of flight” Yes the tide has turned. Don’t believe the reports. The tide has turned. “Let it be remembered that at this crossover I strategically had you emerge and soar that the voice of my church would once more crash the chatter of the airwaves and lead my church forward.” Let it be remembered that at the turning of the tide I raised up a remnant of a different dna and cloth that would be the new standard of the new day I am leading them into. And I am right now shaking up the lone nests of the burned out and isolated. Now it’s time to find the eagles and set the table for the convocation. “Yes, once there was only few but now you are many. Once on the fringe now you are coming back to the center again." There has been a great exodus from man made places of bondage but now you have been assigned to be a safe place for those seeking refuge and needing to be rebuilt. “For I am bringing my church back to the book of acts once again and clearing her heart of the idols of her own making.” “So break out of the restraints that have held you, the fears that have shut you down, and the defeat that has choked you, and take fight for the greatest chapter of your life and odyssey with me!” Says the Lord."
