"LEAN INTO MY REST, AND THERE WILL BE CLARITY, DIRECTION, AND MIRACLE WORKING POWER IN THE CROSSOVER."

(REPOST FROM DEC. 2020 - PROPHETIC WORD FOR NOW)


Towards the end of November, I had a significant dream where God spoke to me about the power of the posture of rest as we crossover into 2021. I had been asking God for specifics regarding many areas of our own family life, ministry, and dreams and was needing some clarity. At the time we were finishing up a very busy and fruitful year in our ministry school, finalizing writing for future projects, and preparing for our baby that is due early January. I felt like I needed practical strategies to navigate some areas of life and I needed some pieces to drop to be able to know how to move forward in the new year. Have you felt this way? I want to share what God spoke to me regarding rest in this dream so that you crossover into 2021 refreshed, full of vision and purpose, decluttered, and knowing where you are going in Jesus' name!


OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL & OUT OF THE DRIVER SEAT


“Enter my rest, enter my rest, you need to enter my rest!” I heard audibly as I slept and I knew this was not just an order but a warning from the Lord and a powerful strategy to escape the burnout, disillusion, and panic that can set in when you are walking through a season of conflict like this year has been. His words felt like a cool drink on a hot day.


So many have been on the hamster wheel of life in 2020, running, running, running, and treading water just to stay afloat because of the many changes and curveballs that have come, but now God is saying to you that it is time to surrender that place to Him. Finish the year out of the driver seat and giving Him permission to end it well. Do you trust Him to do that? Can you move out of your strength and put your trust in His? What areas of your life are you still trying to hold onto the wheel? Let go and let Him do what only He can do.


Key: Hand him the keys to your vehicle, ministry, purpose, and life, especially the areas you have been trying to push and strive in.


MIRACLE WORKING POWER WHERE YOUR STRENGTH HAS FAILED


“This is where I MOVE IN POWER as they rest!” I heard the Lord say. “If you lean into my rest I WILL DO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO! So enter my rest and let ME MOVE, let ME ORCHESTRATE, and let me DELIVER!” Is what the Lord continued to say.


God wants to take over where you have been burning out trying to make ends meet and hoping to see that breakthrough, that miracle come to pass, and that promise manifested. This is where you rest and as you do you will see HIS power take over and BREAK THROUGH for you!


Key: Rest in His miracle-working power where it feels like you are in the 11th hour. Will He not do it?


THE TRANSITION INTO REST & THE CHANGE OF THE GUARD


“It's the transitioning into rest and the changing of the guard” He continued to say, but it wasn’t an order of inaction or decommissioning but an order to change posture. In the same way that if you are swimming a long distance you change up your swimming style to preserve your strength God is saying “TRANSITION into rest” meaning “Change your stance!” In Hebrews 4:11 the rest spoken of had to be an intentional decision or move that resulted in God working where man's ways didn’t. The changing of the guard spoke to me of an army that was changing its position and right now I believe that God is calling the army of God to shift its formation. We will not be moved from our post, but now we turn, we set our sail. Like Nehemiah’s men, we continue to hold up our swords but we bow our heads. Now watch what He does as we shift.


Key: Ask God what slight adjustments you can make to posture yourself in rest to receive and be refreshed? What areas of your life are unnecessarily wearing you down?


REST WILL REVEAL WHERE YOU ARE SPREAD THIN & CREATE “CAPACITY” FOR THE UNEXPECTED


This is what He spoke to me about next. Capacity. He said that heading into 2021 that He was looking for people that weren’t already too busy or had their hands too full because there were going to be UNEXPECTED opportunities and assignments that He would be giving. Posturing in rest was the key that would reveal areas where God was wanting to untangle you from, commitments you shouldn’t be involved in, and open up your schedule for new possibilities He had waiting for you as you crossed over.


Key: Allow God to show you what carries His glory on it and what is just taking up space in your life. What are you doing that is good that isn’t God? He will show you.


REFRESHING TO THE BURNT OUT AND FATIGUED & THE RE-IGNITION OF DREAMS


Then He said “You can’t do this in survival mode. You can’t do this fighting for air, fighting for scraps, and scrambling to make ends meet”


I knew that He was speaking to the subtle and seductive mentality of survival that is birthed from a traumatic year of hearing endless news stories and constant fear-mongering, and it has driven so many to the brink of burnout and fatigue. But as you rest God is breaking both the survival mentality and the fatigue that comes with it.


He wants you to step out of the place of fear and begging for bread and back into faith so you can DREAM with Him as you crossover.


Key: Ask him to break off the fatigue and reignite your creativity, innovation, and passion.


HAND IN YOUR OLD JACKETS & I WILL BREAK THE HEAVY YOKES


“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30


“Watch me break your heavy yokes! Watch me shatter the mantles of madness that have tried to settle! For I am mantling you afresh in the rest! Hand me your old jackets and rags and let me replace them!”


This year the enemy has tried to put his yokes of heaviness and hysteria upon believers causing them to chase after the wind and go on a wild goose chase. These yokes are demonic and are the counterfeit of true mantles and mandates. But as you rest watch as Holy Spirit breaks every heavy yoke and mantles you with power and purpose for the season ahead.


Key: Give him your old rags. Give him your heavy yokes. Ask for discernment between what are the yokes of the enemy and the easy yoke of the Lord. What causes rest and peace, and what brings burnout and heaviness? That’s your key.


THE SHADOW-BOXING WILL STOP IN THE VORTEX OF REST


“The shadow-boxing must stop!” I heard Him say and in the dream, I saw a picture of a whirlwind of imaginations that were swirling around people and they were wearing themselves down by trying to fight it.


Close your eyes in the next few weeks every day for a moment in His presence and the 10 fights and opponents you have been shadow-boxing will suddenly disappear. Every whirlwind and storm you have been facing will stand still and you will see it for what it really is. No hype or cheap gimmicks of fear.


Key: Learn the art of the secret place again. Lay there and learn to be still even when the thoughts against your mind are warring. Soon they will be silent and you will get your peace back and enter that rest.


RECEIVE THE NEW WINE ORDERS FROM HEAVENS PRINT PRESS & THE NEW DOWNLOADS


There is something about the posture of rest in the presence that PRODUCES. In the next few weeks, God wants to give you “new wine orders” as he told me that will be fresh off the printing press of heaven orders that have not been seen or heard yet.


Generals are going to receive their new orders.. leaders are going to download the blueprints for the thing that the SPIRIT is upon. The old wineskin won’t cut it and you know it so it’s time to RECEIVE and you can’t receive unless you are postured in rest, in ENCOUNTER.


This is where you lay down like Jacob at Bethel and have the dream and lay down like Samuel and get your orders and the download that will shift the course of your family, your city, and nation.


Key: Fight the temptation to be busy and realize that without the fresh download you are stuck. You need the fresh thing so rest to receive it.


MISSING PIECES ARE GOING TO DROP & DOTS WILL CONNECT


It’s a “strengthen yourself in the Lord” moment where God takes your faithfulness to stand and multiplies it and opens the way for the ANSWER to reveal itself, the missing pieces to drop, and the needed direction to appear. There are significant COMPONENTS & TOOLS that many need right now leading into 2021 to solve dire, 11th-hour decisions.


As you rest God is making sure that EVERY missing piece drops and the mess and rubble you are walking through suddenly begin to make sense. This is where what has not been connecting suddenly starts to align and where there has been fogginess and no clarity you will start to see a clearing open up before you.


Key: You can’t be a piece filler, trying to fabricate the piece that fills the gap because if you do it will eventually break down. REST and let the pieces come.


RELOCATIONS, MIGRATIONS, & NEW ADDRESSES


God told me that addresses and new cities would suddenly be shown to people in dreams and impressions for those who have felt like the season where they have been is over but they haven’t known the next step or place to go.


There are mass relocations that are going to take place in January/February as God downloads new assignments and purpose that is attached to physical locations around the world. Your kids might even dream it. You might start randomly hearing a name, but it will come! In REST you will hear your change of address!


Key: Don’t stress over the details. He knows where you need to be and He will make your transition and migration seamless.


THIS IS WHERE OBSTACLES ARE EXPOSED & REMOVED


This is where the things HIDDEN IN DARKNESS are exposed, as we rest, and war from our worship. This is why the enemy has tried so hard to get you into the hamster wheel.. so this would be in your strength and the miracle DID NOT SHOW UP. But as you rest the brick walls and endless obstacles you have been facing will be exposed and removed. You will suddenly see the weak spot, the open door, and the ways the enemy has been robbing you.. and you will SLAM THE DOOR SHUT!


As you rest God is doing a spring clean and a protective reinforcement to make sure you are going into 2021 without the foxes robbing your vineyards

.

Key: Be open to see where the enemy has been robbing you. Adjust and shut doors that have been affecting you. It might be people, places, or even just things, but as you discern them you will make a clean break.


IN REST, THE MONKEY WILL GET OFF YOUR BACK, THE SNAKES WILL RETREAT, & YOU WILL FIND THE SOLACE YOU HAVE LONGED FOR


Lastly, I heard the Lord speak about “ALTITUDE” and I heard the scriptures;


“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6


“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1


God is saying that as you rest in HIM in heavenly places you will move into the altitude that snakes start to retreat and the monkey of warfare gets off your back. So many have been facing a myriad of warfare in 2020 and this is God's way of delivering you, freeing you, and healing you as you crossover. This is where you breathe in the clean and fresh air of hope and posture yourself back into the delight of the Lord where you will be able to see what is to come and be tethered once again to the glorious future ahead of you and not the dim and dark future the enemy has been prophesying.


So people of God, REST! This is where it shifts. This is where the reinforcements come in. This is where the blueprints are made clear and the pathway opens up before you where you have been detailed and delayed. REST is your scepter and your powerful key so that you crossover READY & ROARING in Jesus' name!

Recently, I had a vision where I saw a door in front of me. This door looked locked, and I noticed that there was some kind of timepiece on it. I instantly recognized that this door had been locked for a period of time. I felt frustrated that I couldn’t get in, that it had remained closed for so long. Then, I looked at my hand, and there was a key. Suddenly, I heard the words: “Try the door now. Try the door now.” As I turned the key in the lock, it opened effortlessly. Immediately, in the vision, I was taken into a scene from my own life, where it felt like I had been “kicking against the goads” (Acts 26:14) pushing up against areas of resistance, crying out, “God, why is this not working? Why is this not happening the way I thought it would?” I realized there was a timing to it. And I think, in many of our journeys with the Lord, it feels like “God, You led me this way, why does it seem like it didn’t work?” Have you ever gone through seasons where God led you to do something, but it seemed to crumble? And you were left asking, “Lord, what’s happening? You took me this way, yet it ended in shipwreck.” I believe there are many right now who are feeling the weight of hope deferred (Proverbs 13:12). Some even feel abandoned, thinking, “God, I truly thought I was hearing You, but I ended in shipwreck.” I know I have felt this way in many seasons of my pioneering journey with the Lord. It’s as if God led you to the door, but when you tried to enter, the key didn’t work. Right now, I sense the Lord releasing layers of healing over areas of deep disappointment, where people have felt, “It didn’t work.” Maybe it was in business, ministry, family, perhaps you’ve experienced deep loss and robbery. A COMEBACK SEASON - FOR YOU AND THE NATIONS Over the past few weeks, the Lord has been speaking so clearly: “My people are in a comeback season.” But this isn’t just about individuals, it’s about nations! With all the turmoil we’re witnessing globally, in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the EU, and beyond, there is a war in the spirit. We see the shaking, the battle, the chaos, but God is breathing fresh life. He is raising up movers and shakers, you and I, in every sphere to bring divine order to nations and cities. But this is also happening on a personal level. So many have walked through intense battles and wilderness seasons, feeling like “God, You led me into this, but all I see is testing.” Remember that “Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, was led by the Spirit into the wilderness” (Luke 4:1). The wilderness wasn’t a mistake, it was preparation. What if the wilderness was actually the safest route? Because the enemy has been on your tail, trying to assassinate your destiny in one of the most powerful and potent seasons of your life. The wilderness is often the safest road because, although it comes with testing, loss, and even moments of shipwreck, it is where God refines you. There has been much loss, much breaking, and yes, even trauma, but what if this season has actually been preparing you for something greater? “Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit” (Luke 4:14). What if your wilderness season has been setting you up for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit? RECOVER ALL - THIS IS YOUR COMEBACK SEASON! The Lord is declaring: “My people are in a comeback season!” I felt so strongly that I needed to prophesy this over you: You are in a comeback season! Just like David at Ziklag, after his possessions and family were taken, the Lord told him: “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all” (1 Samuel 30:8). I believe this is a season of divine recovery. Not only will you come out of the wilderness rejuvenated in spirit, mission, and purpose, but everything that has been robbed and stolen is being restored. One more prophetic picture I see is from John the Baptist. He was called into the wilderness, a place of preparation. His food was locusts (Matthew 3:4), which are typically considered a devourer (Joel 2:25), yet for John, they became sustenance. I believe this is prophetic for us, the very places where the enemy has tried to devour you will become your nourishment. The giants will become your bread (Numbers 14:9). What the enemy used against you will become a weapon in your hands! Let me prophesy this over you: You are in your comeback season! Everything the enemy has sought to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10), God is now commanding you to repossess. The Lord is releasing a fresh wind upon you. He is pouring out His Spirit in a new and powerful way. Those places of hope deferred are coming back to life. You will experience the comeback of the Holy Spirit and a fresh infilling in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!

In my last (very long) word I shared a prayer at the end but since many did not read that far i wanted to post the prayer on its own here. If you need prayer in your body, let me pray for you. In the mighty name of Jesus, be healed right now! I command your body to come into alignment with the Word of God, which declares: “… by His stripes, you are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) I command every demonic spirit of affliction that has been tormenting you to leave NOW in Jesus’ name! Every disease, every assignment of the enemy to keep you in sickness I break it now by the blood of the Lamb! If you have been experiencing oppression, torment, or any level of bondage, I want to pray for you right now. Lord, right now, I bind every assignment of oppression and demonic torment that has been coming against them. I command that spirit to leave NOW in the name of Jesus! For Your Word says: “… if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36) There is no distance in prayer. And as I pray, God, I ask that Your healing power would flow through the airwaves and touch their bodies right now setting them completely free! I command headaches to leave! I command issues of blood to be healed! Lord, I ask for terminal diseases to be reversed and healed completely! I ask for backs to be straightened, broken bones to be restored, and for metal implants to dissolve supernaturally! I ask for eyesight to be restored and hearing to be opened! Lord, I pray for teeth issues to be healed. I pray for deaf ears to open and for blind eyes to see! I pray for every person bound by affliction to be set free today! Every sickness, affliction, and infirmity that has warred against God’s people for too long be broken NOW in Jesus’ name! Lord, awaken Your people to the fullness of the finished work of the cross! Let the Church once again be a hospital, a place where the sick come and are made whole. And let our lives be the same. Lord, today, reveal to us the power of the cross that we carry. Give us boldness and courage to step into the finished work of the cross and the greater things that Jesus said we would do. In Jesus’ name Amen!

What I’m about to share with you is less of a prophetic word and more of an invitation, an invitation that I believe God is extending to the body of Christ right now.. It is something that has personally challenged me in this season, where I feel like the Lord is calling us to step into the fullness of the gospel, the fullness of the life of Jesus as modeled in the Gospels. He is inviting us to step out in faith and restore the areas where we are not yet seeing the full outworking of everything Jesus did on the earth. I’m talking about the ministry of signs, wonders, miracles, and healings. The Bible says that Jesus healed all who came in contact with Him: “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.” ( Matthew 4:23, NKJV) Jesus brought deliverance to all who were bound: “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38, NKJV) Jesus brought freedom. Yet, in the last seven to ten years, we have seen a rapid decline in miracles, signs, and wonders in the church. Many are asking in the church today, why do we even need signs and wonders? We need them because they remind us of the greatness of God, and they expose the limitations of man. They remind us that God is all-powerful and sovereign, that He loves to break open the heavens and pour His power into the earth. We need healings because they are central to the gospel. When the disciples tarried in Jerusalem and the Holy Spirit baptized them with fire, they received a level of authority and dominion they had not even walked in during the days when Jesus was physically with them: “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, NKJV) Yet, the church has drifted from this place, reducing the gospel to an intellectual Christianity, a gospel of talk, but not power (1 Corinthians 4:20). We have settled for goosebumps instead of the kabod glory of God, the weight of His presence that transforms lives, cities, and nations. ICHABOD IS OVER Let me invite you into this story for a moment. For the last year, the Lord has been speaking to me, saying: “The Ichabod church is coming to an end. The Ichabod church is coming to an end.” Ichabod means “no glory” meaning there is no outworking of heaven into the earth in any measure. This, in many ways, represents what we are facing and seeing right now in the current model of the church. We have leveled off. We have shut out the Holy Spirit because we are not willing to risk our reputations for the sake of pursuing what people are truly hungry and longing for. I wonder how many church services the demonized have walked into, only to walk out still bound. I wonder how many church services the sick and afflicted have walked into, yet were not set free. I pose this challenge even to myself. I know that in my life and in our ministry, I have seen incredible miracles over the years. I have witnessed remarkable signs and wonders break out. But I’ll be honest, there have been moments of deep challenge, moments where I have wrestled with continuing to go after healings and miracles when it seemed like there was such a recession of these very things. Yet, over the last year, something has been stirring. I have been having dreams where God has shown me mass miracles breaking out, but not because of a man, not because of a superstar celebrity preacher laying hands on the sick. No. These miracles were happening because a body was rising up, a body walking in the fullness of the kingdom of heaven, clothed in the mantle of Jesus, which we have inherited through the blood of the Lamb: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12, NKJV) A Challenge from the Lord When we moved to California, the Lord posed a challenging question to me. He said: “I want you to gather My people. I want you to unite My people. I want you to teach the church how to be the church again.” Then He said something that rocked me to my core and challenged me deeply. He asked: “Will you create a space for the sick and broken to come? Will you model the hospital church again?” I responded, “Yes, of course, Lord.” Then He asked: “Will you allow Me to perform signs, wonders, miracles, and healings again?” Again, I said, “Yes, Lord, I want that.” Then He asked me: “Are you willing to step out in faith to see the voice of healing return to the church?” And suddenly, it struck me what He was truly asking. He was asking: Would I step out of my comfort zone? Would I have the courage to pursue healings and miracles again in our meetings? Would I risk it all to see the fullness of the gospel manifest on the earth? THE ANOINTING OF A.A. ALLEN Instantly, I was reminded of a prophetic word that was given to us back in 2022 by the late prophet Jeff Jansen. At the time, I did not know Jeff personally, but one day he called me and said, “Nate, I have a word for you.” That year, we were wrestling with our visas. We had returned to Australia because of COVID and were facing a major decision: Would we relinquish our visas while we waited, or would we contend to steward both Australia and America? I can’t even tell you how many nights I lay broken before the Lord, asking Him for direction. “God, do You want us to give up America and just focus on Australia?” Then, Jeff Jansen called. He said, “The Lord told me to tell you, it is Australia AND America.” He continued, “Nate, you asked for the nations, and the Lord has given you Australia and America.” Then he shared a vision the Lord had shown him: He saw two large capital ‘A’ letters in the spirit, and they were joined together: A A. Then he said, “The Lord says your calling is to both Australia and America. And in this next season, the Lord is bringing them together.” This immediately reminded me of my recent dream of the Frisbee and the Boomerang, yet another confirmation of what God is doing in this season, moving both nations in synchronicity. But then Jeff said something clear and profound: “The Lord showed me two things: The Lord says you must claim both homelands, because He has called you to bring back the voice of healing to the church.” He continued: “When you begin your gatherings, when you begin to hold public meetings God says, "I will return the voice of healing to the church. It will be a sign and a wonder of My healing and saving power, which I will reveal through My end-time church.’” Then he said something that rocked me to my core: “Just like the two ‘A’s,’ the anointing and faith of A.A. Allen will come back upon a generation!” That word shook me. It riveted me. It convicted me. It drove out apathy and complacency in my heart, those places where I had wanted to level off. And in that moment, I said: “Okay, Lord. I don’t know what that looks like.” I had never considered myself a healing preacher. I had never considered myself any of those things. But this was never about me. It was simply about being willing to say yes to whatever God wanted to pour out. It wasn’t about a flashy healing ministry. It was about saying yes to inviting in the broken, the sick, and allowing God to bring healing once again to His church. For years now, I have been prophesying: The church will be a hospital again. The church will be a place for the broken again. So, what did I expect? Should I not truly expect that when God gives a word, He will back it up with His power? “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.” (Mark 16:20, NKJV) COMING OUT OF THE WILDERNESS This is God’s invitation to you, Church. This is me prophesying that we are about to see a resurgence of the voice of healing in the Church like in the days of the 1940s through the ministries of men like William Branham, but in greater measure. For Jesus said: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12, NKJV) I believe we are in an hour of divine restoration. God is bringing back the voice of healing because right now, when we look at the Church, we see brokenness, desperation, and hope deferred running rampant. The body of Christ has forgotten what power looks like. It’s like we’ve been walking in the dark and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen the light turned on. So what has happened? We have leaned into the comfort of profound statements and words, but words alone are not enough. People are over words. They want power. People are over statements and sound bites. They want to experience the glory of God. Right now, the Lord is inviting us into a season of the miraculous unlike anything we have seen before. He is inviting us into a season of experiencing heaven where the supernatural breaks into the natural again. He is calling us into days where we will no longer simply walk into a church service, hear a good message, experience a great time of worship, and leave unchanged. Instead, He is inviting us into realms of His glory where anything is possible again. Where God commissions His Church as brokers of the power of heaven. THE MISSING PIECE Recently, we had Lou Engle over, and Christy had just put up some photos of Jesus walking in the wilderness on our wall. On the last photo, the words of Luke 4:14 were written: “Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about Him spread quickly through the whole region.” (Luke 4:14, NLT) For about 40 minutes, we spoke about the connection between: Esther 4:14 – Born for such a time as this And Nehemiah 4:14 – God rebuilding His Church, the family As Lou walked around our living room, praying with us, his eyes landed on that photo of Jesus walking in the wilderness. He stopped, then he said: “That’s it. That’s the missing piece.” I believe we have been in a wilderness as a Church. God has been testing us. What do we truly want? What will we trade for? Will we continue to allow counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders? Will we keep settling for the diviners and the showmanship of false deliverers? Will we continue to tolerate that which carries no power and no true transformation? Or will we be a Church that leans back into the mantle of the Holy Spirit, the anointing for power? Because I’ll tell you this, I am longing for the days when the power of the Holy Spirit will break out in the Church again and we will no longer just talk about the gospel but fully demonstrate it. The true and authentic. And the invitation is actually simpler than you think. It’s simply a YES to the Lord. THE RESTORATION OF HEALING Maybe you’re reading this, and it challenges you but at the same time, it excites you. Because you’ve experienced hope deferred. You’ve experienced robbery in this past season. Let me prophesy this over you: “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.” (Joel 2:25) God is restoring what has been lost. Maybe this is hard for you to read because you have endured sickness and affliction. Maybe it triggers something in you because you have yet to experience the power of God in this way. Let me declare this over you: The voice of healing is coming back to the Church. And even now, in the place where you are, will you say YES to the Lord? Will you say yes to being a conduit of His power? Will you say yes to stepping out, laying your hands on the sick, and watching them recover? Will you say yes to the fullness of the gospel? Because we must not forfeit the power that is needed to back up the talk in this hour. My friends, the voice of healing is coming back. The Ichabod days are over. The hospital Church is rising. And it’s time to see heaven invade earth once again. A PRAYER OF HEALING & DELIVERANCE I don’t want to talk about this without giving you an opportunity to receive prayer for healing, for deliverance, for breakthrough. So let me ask you: Do you have a sickness, infirmity, or affliction in your body right now? Are you battling something that has tormented you for far too long? If so, let me pray for you. In the mighty name of Jesus, be healed right now! I command your body to come into alignment with the Word of God, which declares: “… by His stripes, you are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) I command every demonic spirit of affliction that has been tormenting you to leave NOW in Jesus’ name! Every disease, every assignment of the enemy to keep you in sickness I break it now by the blood of the Lamb! If you have been experiencing oppression, torment, or any level of bondage, I want to pray for you right now. Lord, right now, I bind every assignment of oppression and demonic torment that has been coming against them. I command that spirit to leave NOW in the name of Jesus! For Your Word says: “… if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36) There is no distance in prayer. And as I pray, God, I ask that Your healing power would flow through the airwaves and touch their bodies right now setting them completely free! I command headaches to leave! I command issues of blood to be healed! Lord, I ask for terminal diseases to be reversed and healed completely! I ask for backs to be straightened, broken bones to be restored, and for metal implants to dissolve supernaturally! I ask for eyesight to be restored and hearing to be opened! Lord, I pray for teeth issues to be healed. I pray for deaf ears to open and for blind eyes to see! I pray for every person bound by affliction to be set free today! Every sickness, affliction, and infirmity that has warred against God’s people for too long be broken NOW in Jesus’ name! Lord, awaken Your people to the fullness of the finished work of the cross! Let the Church once again be a hospital, a place where the sick come and are made whole. And let our lives be the same. Lord, today, reveal to us the power of the cross that we carry. Give us boldness and courage to step into the finished work of the cross and the greater things that Jesus said we would do. In Jesus’ name Amen!

At our gathering on Saturday night, I began to feel an intense burning in my chest. As it increased over the hours we were there, I heard the Lord say, “I’m branding my people afresh in this hour with my fire!” I looked around the room, and there was no doubt, it was happening. It was taking place. It felt like this wasn’t just a gathering of people meeting to worship; it was a meeting where God was branding His people. I could see it. I could see the appetites of man beginning to fall away. The debris, the seasons of Saulish toleration, the love of man’s empires and delicacies were beginning to fade into the distance as people were reminded again of the main thing - Jesus. As people were reminded again of why we are alive, I realized, when you go through difficult seasons, it’s like walking in a desert. You forget the taste of water. You forget the refreshing of living water that comes from the source, and you begin to drink from anything that will seemingly refresh you for a moment. Many in the church have been getting temporary fixes from religion, affirmation from toxic cultures, and looking to counterfeits instead of the Father. But in this hour, the Lord is branding us afresh with His fire and His Spirit. He is reawakening our true purpose and our true calling, the one that has been hiding behind false missions and man’s movements, which never bear the fruit that the true move of His Spirit brings. But this is also what happens in a season of rebranding. In a season of rebranding, you can feel lost. You can feel confused. You can feel like the anointing on your life has dried up, like the mantle is gone. You feel naked. You feel like you no longer know who you are or what your message is. But this is just part of the process. God is rebranding your heart with your true calling, burning away all that was masquerading as truth when it was really a distraction. It’s a time of deep surrender, repentance, and a shifting of mindsets. Even as I write this, I hear the Lord say: “In this rebranding, I’m breaking generational contracts. I’m breaking the limitations of bloodline issues that have been affecting you. The pull of many dysfunctional systems and paradigms you have grown up in and walked through has been limiting you. But in this rebranding,” says the Lord, “I am breaking all limitations. I am breaking every single ceiling and causing you to step into the fullness of who I have called you to be.” “In this rebranding,” says the Lord, “I am turning orphans into sons.” “In this rebranding,” says the Lord, “I am going to release my rocketeers, those who have the ability to ascend into the heavens without fear, who can navigate the realm of My Spirit and be in tune with Me to release heaven on earth.” “In this rebranding,” says the Lord, “I am releasing my surfers, those who are the bell ringers of revival, riding the wave of My Spirit and leading others into it.” “In this rebranding,” says the Lord, “I am raising up a new breed of reformers who carry My heart, yet also break down systems and realign them into the new.” “Above all,” says the Lord, “this rebranding will raise up lovers and decommission the worker and performance mentality that has robbed My church.” It is time to allow this rebrand to finish its work in you. Do it, Lord. Do it in us, God.
