IT'S THE HOUR OF JUBILEE

IT'S THE HOUR OF JUBILEE

On Sunday the 22nd of January, 2023, I believe we crossed into a long-awaited promise of Jubilee. Fifty long years of innocent bloodshed has stained the land of the United States of America—bloodshed so vast, so unprecedented, that there is no genocide that rivals it. If we could see in the spirit, our eyes would be overcome at the sight of rivers of blood from the little ones, rushing down every street and crevice across America. As a nation, we deserved judgment for turning our eyes from their silent cries and the lament of their mothers, but instead, we received mercy. We were standing in a window of time for this mercy and a number of years ago I had a dream, where I saw a window in heaven that was closing. That dream was in 2017 and we had been fighting late-term abortion legislation in Australia. When we lost that battle I fell to my knees in absolute grief asking the Lord, “Why? Why did the Church in Australia not fight with us? Why did the few of us who did stand lose after so much prayer and intercession?”

Immediately, He responded and showed me a vision of Goliath and He said to me, “Turn your eyes to the head of Goliath, he’s in America—it’s Roe v Wade. Aim all your arrows at him, throw him down, and cut off his head, and when you do, I give you permission to hunt down the Philistines across the land. Then, in your own nation, you will strike them down too.”

That night, I dreamt of the window in heaven and it was slightly open, but I could tell it was closing. The following morning, I woke up and opened the book of Daniel. In Daniel 9:2, Daniel recognizes the times and the seasons. He understands that the desolation of Jerusalem was in a closing window of time because of Israel's unfaithfulness to the Lord—their desolation was set for a period of 70 years—and he understood that without repentance, prayer, and fasting that window of time would close and move into another season of time.

As I read that, I immediately perceived we were standing in the same closing window of time with Roe v Wade as Daniel was with Israel’s transgressions. In verses 17-19 of Chapter 9 (NIV), Daniel cries out to the Lord:

“Now, our God, hear our prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”

On June 24th, 2022, we witnessed the Lord hear and act—we witnessed Him move in response to the prayers, travails, and repentance of His people. We witnessed His great hand of mercy. At exactly 10:10 a.m. a decree went out to all the land—a stone into the head of Goliath. John 10:10 (AMP) says;

"The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]."

That stone of legislation caused this great stronghold giant to fall, as Goliath—Roe v Wade—fell to the ground with a mighty thud.

On the 50th year anniversary of this death decree, we stood in Dallas alongside thousands—right where the decree was written—and we marched to testify of what the Lord had done. We marched to testify of His great mercy and declare that where the rivers of innocent bloodshed had been gushing through the streets, now the Blood of an innocent—One whose Blood could atone, the Blood of the Lamb—was pouring out across the land, washing the rivers of sin white as snow. Together thousands of us took communion, remembering the Blood of Jesus and declaring His atonement over the land. It was a severing of the death decree and a stake in the ground of the atoning Blood of Jesus. I saw a vision of the Blood of the Lamb gushing up out of the ground of Dallas—out of the ground like a bubbling well—and it began to trickle and spread to every city and state in the nation of America.

A TIME OF JUBILEE

In scripture, Jubilee means, "a rams horn" or "trumpet." According to Hebraic law, every 50 years all slaves in the land were set free—it was a year of declared emancipation. During Jubilee, debts were forgiven and the land was restored to its rightful owners. Interestingly, the Liberty bell has the scripture of the declaration of Jubilee inscribed upon it—Leviticus 25:10 (KJV):

“And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”

As we marched on the anniversary of Roe v Wade through the conception place in Dallas of this death decree, crowds of thousands were given bells to ring throughout the streets. This was truly a march of Jubilee! The command of hallow means to "separate, honor as holy." I believe the Lord is instructing His people to honor this year as holy—separate it, consecrate it, with the Blood of His Son. Unlike any other year, this year cannot be done the same way it has been done before. This is a year to separate as holy unto the Lord. It is a year that He is restoring the land and the promises that have been stolen from generations past.

This consecration—the pouring forth of His Blood—will bubble forth like a spring into every street of America and will surge forth into every other nation that has participated in this bloodshed. During Jubilee, it was instructed that the land was to rest from toil and I believe this is prophetically speaking today of the toil of bloodshed of millions and the toll this has been upon the land. But now we stand in a moment where the Lord is releasing the Blood of the Lamb to wash white as snow. I’m reminded of the ram that was caught in the thicket that took the place of Abraham's son, Isaac. We have been given the sacred blood of the Lamb! He has been caught in the thicket of our sin and as we hallow this fiftieth year, it is the rams horn that sound out like a trumpet to declare emancipation over ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE LAND—this sound will be heard in every city, county, and state in America.

IT'S TIME TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND

On the day after the anniversary of Roe v Wade, Nate and I were invited to a dedication of land. It wasn’t until we were that I realized the significance of the timing of this land dedication. A small group of us took communion over a significant amount of land in Dallas, Texas and prophetically purified it by the Blood of Jesus. I believe this was not just a one-time occurrence, it was the beginning of Jubilee where we are going to see a mass handover of physical land—where deeds and titles will be restored into the hands of God's people. Many of you have lost land and homes in past seasons and I believe the Lord is serious about restoring what has been lost. The ownership of land and territory is mentioned throughout scripture and God is looking in this hour to restore the land that was previously in the hands of the wicked and give it back into the hands of the righteous. If this resonates with you, begin by faith to search out the land that you believe He is calling you to possess.

THE BOUNDARY OF BLOOD

When the Lord spoke to me back in 2017 and showed me the head of Goliath as Roe v Wade, I’ll never forget His words that followed. He said, “When you cut off Goliath's head, I give you permission to hunt down the Philistines across the land.” Before Goliath’s defeat, the Philistines had encamped upon a place called Ephes Dammim, it was from this place that they intimidated the armies of Israel—unbeknown to them however, they were standing on hallowed ground. Ephes Dammim means "boundary of blood" and when Goliath was defeated, the Israelite armies chased them off the boundary of blood and hunted them down as far as the gates of Ekron. Ekron means, "the gates of extermination." I believe in this hour of Jubilee, the Lord is calling upon His people to apply the BOUNDARY OF BLOOD across the land—it is time to hunt down every last demonic force, all the way to the gate of extermination. These demon-inspired ideologies and laws that are ruthlessly attempting to invade the land, have unknowingly camped upon the BOUNDARY OF BLOOD and they will be EXTERMINATED from the land as God’s people take up this command to HALLOW THE YEAR with HIS BLOOD.

THE GREAT COMMUNION REVIVAL

Papa Lou Engle has been declaring the Great Communion Revival and I wholeheartedly know that this is the command of hallow—this is our declaration of Jubilee to all the land.

We are standing on Holy Ground and I believe that as we participate in the communion of the Blood of the Lamb in our own homes, corporately in churches, and even when we gather over regions, the Lord is releasing divine strategy and insight to His people to hunt down and chase out the Philistines to every gate of extermination. And in turn, He is releasing a revival—a great outpouring of His Spirit—unlike any other across the land.

HERE ARE SOME KEYS FOR YOU IN YOUR OWN LIFE:

Take communion daily in your homes with your children and together BEHOLD THE LAMB who takes away the sins of the world.
Prophesy "It is finished." Declare the finished work of the Blood of Jesus over every area of your life, your family, your city, and your nation.
Ask the Lord what your role is in chasing down the Philistines. For example; engaging your local community and church to take communion over your region together, actively engaging in legislation or school board meetings, or taking communion outside abortion clinics or governmental buildings. The Holy Spirit will highlight what you need to do. Find a community to engage with you in this.
Declare restoration over the land and by faith go as the Lord leads to physical locations to take communion over land and regions. Pronounce "Jubilee" over these locations—that the land is restored by the Blood of the Lamb.

Finally, I highly encourage you to listen to Papa Lou Engle and catch the flame of the vision of the Great Communion Revival and your key role in this movement.

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

YOU ARE TAKING BACK GROUND!

By Nate Johnston • July 4, 2025

This July 4th, I want to prophesy a word of freedom over you, a word that rattles and shakes every demonic assignment trying to oppress you and cling to you, especially in a time where God is calling you to come fully alive again. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 It’s time to be free. Fully free. Not half free. Not three-quarters free. But completely, radically, FREE! It’s no coincidence I’m sharing this on Independence Day, the day that commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by Congress in 1776, announcing separation from Britain, because today, I have an announcement of my own. I declare and prophesy that from this moment forth, the real church will rise up and become independent from the spirit of religion and the kingdom of darkness that’s tried to keep her in bondage and the dark ages, when we are called to be a light in Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you… I believe the enemy is losing ground right now. Those are the exact words I heard the Lord say earlier this year, and again just last week. “The enemy is losing ground!” And while for many it may not look this way, it’s already happening in your life, your family, your city, and even your nation. Most, if not all, of the warfare you’ve been facing isn’t some random occurrence. It’s been targeted. Why? Because God is bringing you into a delivery season. The war you’ve been experiencing is the effect of what God is doing to reclaim you, to set you up, to prepare you for what’s ahead while the enemy’s been doing everything he can to keep you caged. The enemy can see it. That’s why he’s been trying to decrease your borders, push you in from every side, and cause you to slowly retreat over time. But I believe we’re in a season where God is chasing out every single snake in your life not just from last year, or the last five years, but from many years past. He’s been dealing with every area of compromise, poison, sin, addiction, sabotaging mindsets, and the patterns that have robbed you over and over again. Many of us have cried out, “God, I don’t understand what is happening. I don’t understand why so much is coming against me. I don’t understand this warfare.” But it’s simple: The enemy doesn’t want you to step into fullness and wholeness. But God has sent a clear message to the enemy’s camp “He is mine. She is mine. BACK OFF!” Yes, God is reclaiming you and pushing back the darkness. But He’s also going one step further just like He did with Jabez. He is extending your borders. “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.” 1 Chronicles 4:10 Do you see what happened? Healing from pain and expansion! Bondage decreases you but freedom? It enlarges you. Yes, God is chasing out the snakes from your life right now. He’s dealing with the foxes. I believe the enemy is losing ground in physical spaces, emotional spaces, and spiritual spaces. He’s losing ground in your heart and mind, places where you didn’t know how to let go… where secret pain, wounds, trauma, depression, and bondage have long lingered. We are called to be the whole Church. But too many of us have been faking it just to make it. And now God is saying, How can you bring wholeness to the world if you don’t feel whole yourself? No more trying in your own strength. No more quick fixes that don’t deal with the roots. It’s time for REAL no hype freedom! So let me prophesy over you again - It’s time to take back ground. It’s time to chase out the foxes from the vineyard of your heart and life. (Song of Songs 2:15) It’s time to confront the things that have tormented and stalked you, because they are ending in this season. God is bringing you out of a chapter marked by struggle and survival. You are TAKING BACK GROUND in Jesus’ name!

THE BANDAID IS COMING OFF! WE ARE AT A GENERATIONAL DELIVERANCE THRESHOLD

By Nate Johnston • July 1, 2025

I have a few prophetic words that I need to release over the next few days that are all different parts of the same prophetic word that is burning in my spirit right now. Now, if you have spent your life waging war against dysfunction and spiritual mess from your upbringing and family, yet still feel like there are blockages and wounded areas in your life, this word is going to really hit home. I want to start with a very personal encounter I had once with God. I was in a season where I was experiencing mental bombardment and some unresolved torment in my mind, and I began really seeking the Lord and asking Him what the root of this issue was in my life. The Lord had been speaking to me for weeks before this encounter, telling me I was about to cross a threshold, another level of freedom and healing. Not just for my own peace and freedom, but because of something I was stepping into in the kingdom that required me to have a greater capacity of freedom and to be whole, not hindered by the things that I was dealing with. And I believe that’s where many of us are right now. Things are coming to the surface. Pain. Mindsets. Your soul in anguish. These are all the signs of this.. So at the height of the torment, I cried out to the Lord, begging Him to set me free. I went to sleep then woke up a few hours later hearing the Lord say, “The Band-Aid’s coming off.” There in the dark of my room, the presence of God swept in like I hadn’t felt in a long time. It enveloped me. I knew instantly the Lord was about to do something, so I said, “Lord, speak to me. What are you doing?” He said, “I want to show you something that’s been hanging over you your whole life, but you’ve not known. And you’ve actually been fighting this particular area of freedom.” “Ouch. What is it, Lord?” The Lord began to speak to me about my childhood and my upbringing. He said, “You’ve dealt with your mother’s side and the healing there, but you’ve never dealt with your father’s side.” You see, my dad left when I was four. He committed adultery, had another family in another city, and he chose them over me. It’s true, I had walked through a lot of healing and freedom from the things connected to my mother’s side, but I never really paid attention to what my father had done and how it had affected me. Exodus 20:5 says “For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations” So what I was experiencing was because I hadn’t dealt with this? The fruit/effects of my father’s sin - pain, adultery, and divorce had been hanging over me my whole life. I had never walked in the same weaknesses as my dad, but yet it was still there as a wound and a stumbling block of sorts in the background. But that doesn’t make sense, right? Aren’t we new creations in Christ? “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Yes, we are. But there was pain and unforgiveness and things there that were tethering me to this dysfunction, tethering me to the fruit of that disobedience. Instantly, I heard the Lord say, “The breaking of covenant brings a curse.” “Wow.” He took me to Genesis. The breaking of covenant in the garden brought a curse: “To Adam he said, ‘Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, “You must not eat from it,” cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life” Genesis 3:17 But then He led me to Hebrews 12:24; “To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.” He said, “I need you to forgive, renounce, and submit this under the blood.” So I sat there in the dark that night, and I renounced anything that had been trying to carry over into my life: the spirit of rejection, the orphan spirit, the spirit of poverty and lack, and anything perverse that had also come from it. I gave it to the Lord. I covered it in the blood. And I stepped into a level of freedom that has so deeply impacted my life ever since. What am I trying to say? I’m trying to say that right now, we’re in moments, not just one, but major moments where God is bringing massive trajectory changes and shifts, as we lean into these opportunities for deliverance and healing. I’ll be really real and please don’t be offended but let me say this - most of the Church is in bondage. Most of the Church needs deliverance. Most of the Church is struggling with torment and mental illness and yet FEW are saying it and doing anything about it! Hence why I am sharing this with you today. This is one of the epidemics we face in the Body. We know how to walk in the gifts. We know how to do all the things, but we’ve shoved down our soul health, our spiritual health, for the sake of looking good on a Sunday. Marriages are falling apart. Lives are falling apart. What if, right now, God is getting us free and whole so we can be a stable and firm Church, a pure Bride so that we can actually be the healers in this next season? What if this is we the recession of the waves before the tsunami of Gods glory hits and ushers in the harvest? What would happen if we stepped out to be labourers for the harvest, but our foundations were faulty? We would crumble and fall. Do you see the importance of the hour that’s in front of us and why it’s here? A THRESHOLD MOMENT After this encounter, the Lord led me to the passage about Jacob. He was about to cross over the brook Jabbok and wrestle with the angel of the Lord and become Israel, but something else happened first. His brother Esau who he had deceived years earlier, was coming to meet him. Jacob had carried the burden and the pain of that situation his whole life and then, in a moment, God brought it to head before he crossed over. What if we’re in a moment right now where God is bringing generational deliverance to you and me? What if He’s clearing our names and putting the axe to the roots of things we didn’t even realize were trying to hang over us? These things shouldn’t be hanging over us. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word. But we’ve been resisting it. We want to be free but we also want to keep our pain. We want to be whole but we also want to keep our vendettas and our victimhood. We want to be free but we just don’t know how to step out of the habits and dysfunctions we grew up in. But those days are over. God is saying over you today that He wants to bring lasting and full wholeness and freedom to you. If this word resonated with you, I want you to ask the Lord to come and heal you. Ask Him to bring deliverance to those areas of your life, even as you’re reading this. Ask Him to show you the root. In fact, if you are feeling the Holy Spirit working right now, put on a worship track and sit in this for a moment and ask Him, “Show me what I need to uncovenant from.” Right now, God is exposing the roots and showing us what’s been wrong so we can get it fixed. Body of Christ, it’s time to step out of that mixture of covenants and be covenanted to Jesus for the days to come. Pray with me, “Jesus, you are the Lord and Saviour of my life, and right now I un-covenant with anything unholy. I un-covenant with the sins of my father and mother and generations before me. I uncovenant with pain, with victimhood, with witchcraft, divination, and anything in my past. And I covenant with you today. I step into a fresh relationship with you for the sake of me, my wife, my husband, my kids, and my family. I give you permission to guide and lead my life. I step out of the driver’s seat. Come and do what you want to do. Make me whole, in body, in mind, in spirit. In Jesus’ name! Now let me prophesy over you, it’s time to exit generational bondage and enter generational INHERITANCE in Jesus' name! Instead of bondage, you are entering freedom and being yoked only to Jesus. Instead of mental instability, you will have the mind of Christ! Instead of poverty and lack, you will walk in abundance and be a resource to build the Kingdom! Instead of failure and breakdown, you will flourish in everything you do and build healthily! Instead of spending your days battling demons oppressing your mind, you will set others free! The threshold is here! Get ready for part 2 coming in the next few days.

YOU ARE TAKING BACK GROUND!

THE BANDAID IS COMING OFF! WE ARE AT A GENERATIONAL DELIVERANCE THRESHOLD

FOR THOSE IN THE 11TH HOUR

By Nate Johnston • June 30, 2025

(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s ) This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.

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!
