IT’S TIME FOR THE WEARY LIONS TO GET BACK THEIR STRENGTH!

IT’S TIME FOR THE WEARY LIONS TO GET BACK THEIR STRENGTH!

IT’S TIME FOR THE WEARY LIONS TO GET BACK THEIR STRENGTH!

Psalm 34:10 – “The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.”


A few nights ago I had a dream where I was laying on my face and began to lift myself up when I rolled over and fell back down but face up because my body was so tired and worn out. 


“Get up!” I heard. So I lifted my head and as I did I realized I was surrounded by hundreds of others like me who were battle worn and trying to gain the strength to get up but were struggling. 


Then out of nowhere I saw a lion running towards me and I instantly knew that this was the lion of the tribe of Judah! I wasn’t scared but it was a daunting moment not knowing what was going to happen. Then he pounced violently on me with his paws pinning down my hands and my feet. Then he roars loudly in my face and I hear these words “REST IS OVER, GET UP!”


As soon as I heard those words through the roar I felt a shift as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength rushed into me and I jumped up to my feet and began to yell and shout out of pure joy and untamed zeal. 


Strength had returned. But it was more than that. I felt like Samson who was sheared and weak suddenly being restored back to full strength, courage, and zeal. I felt the wild anointing of the lion of Judah coursing through me and like I was now ready to run again. Then I woke up feeling it in the natural. But I knew this wasn’t just for me. This is for the lions out there who have suffered hunger. 


The lions who have forgotten they are lions. 


The battle weary ones who have been struggling to get a second wind after a series of knock down seasons. 


And you have been in a waiting until God restored you because you even said “Lord unless you do this, I can’t go on! I can’t fake it or pretend. I need a full makeover!”


And there’s been a grace to reset and detox, and you have felt the Lord even leading you into that.


Because you know you just can’t rush into the next while neglecting your current state. So you leant in. And it’s been slow but it’s been happening. 


And what I also found interesting about this dream was that the lion pinned me down by all fours which reminded me of when Elijah laid on the dead boy to revive him in 1 Kings 17. 


But I will be direct and say what I feel the Lord saying to you. 


The resting has been needed. You have needed a personal overhaul and healing from the past season. But what if in a moment the Lord visits you and stands you to your feet? 


What if He suddenly says “Ok rest is over, GET UP!”


It’s not Jesus saying “get over it”. It’s Him calling off your sick bed and healing you for the next chapter. 


It’s Him putting a a new spirit in you and a new heart and restoring your strength completely. 


So I know this is what the Lord is doing! And so I want to say to you by faith - GET UP in Jesus name! 


Come out of the past season. That day is over. 


Healing has come to you NOW in Jesus name. 


And then you know what will come next? 


A new roar will bellow up from within you and your voice that was hindered to beyond a whisper will bellow restored. 


And you will prophesy like the days it bubbled up form within you as natural as a song bird sings its song. 


And you will call forth the praises of God and His marvelous works like before you ever saw a dark night of the soul. 


And you will feel that ferocious, wild, John the Baptist anointing all over you like you were smeared by the oil of Samuel. 


And you will RESUME the calling the enemy thought he SHUT DOWN!


Whoooooooooooo! I feel the fresh wind blowing on this. 


Lord stand them to their feet!


Lord visit them in their sleep. 


Lord put a new roar in the bellies and strength in their knees! 


Because, lions… it’s time. It’s time to join the new lion pack and move into this new day dawning…


“The lion has roared, who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken, who can but prophesy?” Amos 3:8

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

HEAVEN IS WAITING ON YOU TO PICK UP YOUR PEN!

By Nate Johnston • April 18, 2025
Too many God-breathed messages never make it to the page. Not because they aren’t powerful, but because the writer feels unworthy or fears it will be too much for people to handle. Sound familiar? Fear of rejection. Impostor syndrome. Shrinking your voice to fit the mold. These are the lies that have kept prophetic messengers silent for far too long. But not anymore. On May 5, we begin Masterclass 2: Messages on Fire. We’re going after the root of fear and disqualification, so you can finally write the message you were born to release with fire, clarity, and holy boldness. This isn’t just a class. It’s a permission slip to burn. Your voice matters. Your message carries weight. Let’s unlock it.

THEY TOLD YOU TO TONE IT DOWN...HEAVEN'S TELLING YOU TO TURN IT UP!

By Nate Johnston • April 18, 2025
If you’ve ever felt like your message is too intense, too prophetic, too outside the box— you’re probably carrying something heaven-breathed. But somewhere along the way, the fear crept in: “What if they misunderstand me?” “What if I’m not qualified to say this?” “Who am I to write like this?” Let’s get something clear: You were never meant to write a safe message. You were meant to write a holy disruption. Join us May 5 for MESSAGES ON FIRE, a 4-week masterclass where we expose fear, confront imposter syndrome, and ignite the message that’s been burning inside you for years. You don’t need more approval. You need permission to go full fire. It’s time to write it. Unfiltered. Un-compromised. Unapologetically you.
