“LOOK! I AM UNCOVERING WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN, REVEALING WHAT HAS BEEN IN PREPARATION, & OPENING DOORS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED!”

“LOOK! I AM UNCOVERING WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN, REVEALING WHAT HAS BEEN IN PREPARATION, & OPENING DOORS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED!”

“LOOK! I AM UNCOVERING WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN, REVEALING WHAT HAS BEEN IN PREPARATION, & OPENING DOORS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED!”

I believe that February is a strategic month of GRACE (Divine help, enabling power, strength, and favor) to begin to SEE what has been UNSEEN and hidden revealed. A few weeks ago as I was praying into February I had a dream containing three revelations that all painted this same picture - that whatever it is that God has been planning, preparing, & strategizing, He is about to LAUNCH & MANIFEST it through you! 

02/02/2020 - FROM RESET TO THE REVEALING, FROM CLOSED TO OPEN DOORS! 

After I had this dream I began to write it down when I suddenly felt a strong impression from the Lord not to share this particular revelation for a while or until I felt the release. It felt strangely out of timing yet this morning when I woke up on 02/02/2020 suddenly I knew in my spirit that this word was ready to be released. But why now? What’s the significance of today compared to a few weeks ago? 

The last few weeks and months have been a time where God has been dealing with tired hearts, burnt out, cynical, hurting, weary, and longing hearts, and so our focus has needed to be on Him while He readied our hearts for what He was about to REVEAL. It was the RESET & recalibration of those who were still rehearsing the wilderness, living in survival, and clinging desperately to the last threads of a finished era. To see through the eyes of the spirit effectively you need to be clear and in fact... empty. This emptying has been God preparing you to be filled with his understanding and not expecting we can walk this season out the same way we did the last.  The significance of today is that we have stepped into an open door (02:02) in this 2020 year. 

Isaiah 22:22 “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”

I believe that today onwards God is beginning to REVEAL the doors the enemy desperately did not want you to see or ever enter. This will be a time of joyfully advancing and CROSSING OVER the threshold of the new territory many long-awaited promises and walking into the doors God has prepared for you. 

This will be the time where crucial directions and strategies will be released that will TRANSPORT you where you need to go, where the dots will connect and you feel the favor and ease on moving forward. Also for those who have been making major, risky, adventurous faith steps, THIS will be the month you see the fruit of daring to believe God at His word. 

THERE’S BEEN A RUMBLING IN THE DEEP - IT'S YOUR 3RD TRIMESTER!

In the first part of the dream, I simply heard the Lord say “This is the third trimester for those who have walked through a year of major opposition of what I have given them to birth. This is where they will stare their promise in the eyes!” then I was handed a calendar that had this scripture written on it;

“Rejoice with singing, you barren one! You who have never given birth, burst into a song of joy and shout, you who have never been in labor! For the deserted wife will have more children than the married one,” says Yahweh” Isaiah 54:1

Many have been in a relentless season of opposition because of the spiritual baby God has given them to birth. The enemy has seen something growing and increasing in you and has been trying every attempt to delay, frustrate, and abort the delivery. But the good news is that God is saying over you today that for EVERY DAY you were delayed and opposed God has only increased the size, the impact, and anointing of what’s about to be birthed through you! 

The third trimester of a natural pregnancy is the last trimester of carrying a child before birth and is the most crucial time for both mother and baby to prepare for that delivery day. This is the time that the mother must really know how to prepare for what is to come and how to physically bring about what has not been yet seen. This is also the last trimester of development for the baby where the baby opens its eyes and begins to get into position for birth. In the same way, I felt this dream was the Lord saying that we must prepare for the greatest birthing of ministries and movements we have ever seen sweep the body of Christ. 

This is where you will SEE what has been hidden and increasing in the dark. People have only seen your mess and have judged you by the barrenness of what they see on the surface, and maybe even you have become numb to what Is inside of you, but there has been a rumbling in the deep and God has not forgotten what He gave you to bring full term, and now it’s time and no opposition can stop it!

You must get ready and into position to bring forth what has been delayed. You must shake off the discouragement, frustration, fear, and constant distractions you have been entertaining and begin to SEE with heavens eyes what God is about to do. You must get ready to step into the FULL TERM call of God upon your life. 

I AM RAISING UP MY EAGLE-EYED PIONEERS!

In the second part of my dream, I kept seeing an eagle hovering over and brooding over the earth, surveying the new land and LOOKING for those who would dare to SEE  through the eyes of the spirit in this season to know what God was about to unfold. In particular, I was drawn to the eagle's eyes and the way it was looking with such focus and intensity and I knew this was symbolic of the awakening of God's people to see things not through the eyes of the natural but those would see things through the eyes of the spirit.

These are those who deliberately and intentionally choose to be more focussed on what Is doing over what chaos they see on the news or in surrounding circumstances. These are those who are dedicated to living according to heaven instead of the natural so that they can make earth look like heaven! God is calling the church higher right now especially in this time in history where unless we ascend higher we will begin to be subtly influenced by what is below and become ineffective to dispense the kingdom realm at all. 

“This is a generation of pioneers!” I heard the Lord say. “A generation will ascend the heights with me and SEE how I see. They will not live with the limitations and small-minded thinking of the wise but they will soar in unison with my spirit and SEE how I see and SPEAK what they see me doing. They will be the bell ringers and announcers of a new day, the linguists of new language and themes on my heart, and the carriers of movements that carry my Glory!”

THE TEN YEAR TELESCOPE & THE SEER ANOINTING FALLING UPON A GENERATION

The last part of the dream felt the most significant to me or maybe I just relate to it the most, but I was handed a telescope and as I looked through it I saw time speed up and it was like I was watching a Montague of the next 10 years. (I’ll have to share more on this in another word) Then in the dream this passage from Joel 2:28;

“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions”

When I woke up a few things came to mind;

  1. Ten years ago last month I encountered the Lord in such a powerful way that for two weeks whether awake or asleep I was constantly receiving revelation from the Lord about the years 2010-2020. 
  2. This encounter activated prophetic dreams and visions in my life that have been crucial to my hearing from God. 
  3. For the first time hearing this scripture in Joel 2, it felt like more of a commissioning & responsibility than just a prophetic indication of what was to come. 

I believe that right now God is pouring out His spirit and in its wake is activating a seer anointing in dimensions and depths we have not yet seen. We are about to see a generation of seers arise that don’t just have spiritual experiences they write in their diaries but powerful encounters that they can act upon and transform the earth with! The prophetic has been boxed up way too small and the charismatics have been the main stewarder of this office and gifting but we are about to see a greater wave of prophets rise from all spheres, streams, and denominations in the years to come as God pours out His spirit on ALL people. Prophets of accuracy, sharpness, and the boldness like Elijah who live from the throne-room. 

TAKE OFF YOUR OLD GLASSES

One morning as I was talking to the Lord about what He had shown me I was out for a walk and my sunglasses kept fogging up even though it wasn’t overly warm or humid yet. After a few times of cleaning them, I heard “Now take your glasses off”. I laughed out loud knowing what He was referring to, and maybe you do as well. 

Right now God is beginning to reveal the path forward that was once hidden, open doors that seemed locked and closed, and birth new and unheard things through you, but let me ask you, what lens are you looking through? Are you still looking through the pain of the season you barely made it through? Are you still debilitated from the hurt and betrayal you experienced? Have you encountered so many robberies and bad breaks that you are still seeing your future with that same expectation? Sounds like foggy glasses to me and it’s time to take them off and let God give you his new latest range fog-free sunglasses. 

“NOW WHAT DO YOU SEE?” PRAYER TO SEE IN THIS SEASON & THE ACTIVATION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES

As I am writing this I was reminded of a word I received from a general a year ago who told that one of my life’s graces was to pray for people to SEE & HEAR, and one of my mandates was to open the door for others to experience dreams and visions. I feel strongly that I am supposed to pray right now and activate your God-given inheritance and ability to SEE in this season. Remember you don’t have to be a prophet to prophesy and you don’t need to be a seer to see.

So maybe you have never seen in the spirit before at all, maybe you used to but it’s been less and less, maybe you used to dream but haven’t in a long time or you only seem to have warfare dreams, visions, and experiences. Maybe you don’t ever get visions or impressions, or maybe you do but you don’t know what they mean. I feel like the Holy Spirit wants to IGNITE this in your life so in the days to come it can be a powerful communication line and revealer of what God is saying and doing. 

There are three passages of scripture I want to pray and prophesy over you today to activate this; 2 Kings 6:17, Ephesians 1:18, and John 20:20;

“Holy Spirit I pray that every person reading this would first ENCOUNTER YOU & SEE YOU like the disciples did 2000 years ago, and that they would intimately know you and your heart for them daily because without seeing through the lens of righteousness and through eyes of love they will never be able to understand or comprehend what they see in the spirit. Holy Spirit give them the mind of Christ and the vision of Jesus, the love of Jesus, and His immense mercy for a world that doesn’t yet know him. If they have lost the purity of the simple gospel then right now Lord restore it in Jesus name. Also I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling, so you would be able to see what is not seen by your natural eyes and perceive with all your senses what is unable to be be accessed by natural means. Lastly I pray for your spiritual eyes to be OPENED right now, that you would no longer be blind or foggy in your view your of life, your circumstances, your future, your destiny, towards others, and the world in Jesus name! I pray for your dreams to begin NOW, for visions to begin NOW in Jesus name and that just as Joel 2:28 says you would have dreams, visions, and PROPHESY in Jesus name! 

We are in the beginning of the greatest move of God that this planet has ever seen since Jesus and when God asks you “I am doing a new thing, do you SEE it?” I prophesy that you will reply “YES I CAN!”

Last night I had an intercessory dream where I began to say "Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! God, bring out the wild ones who have been in hiding. Bring out those who have been in death, those who feel like it's all over for them. Those who have been counted out, those who have been assassinated, those who have been robbed, plundered, and destroyed. God, bring out those who feel like they are being decommissioned. Bring out those who feel unclean. Bring out those who feel cast out and rejected from the church. Bring out those who have been silenced, muzzled, and voiceless, God, and anoint them! Put hot coals on their tongues!" Suddenly, the scripture Luke 4:14 came before me - “He came out of the wilderness in the power of the Spirit." And I knew in my spirit that this intercession was for the changing of the guard, for those who feel disqualified and broken because of what they’ve walked through, for those who feel like they’ve lost their anointing and strength, like Samson after his hair was cut. Then I continued to pray: "God, bring them out. Bring out the Nazarites! Bring out the new watchmen on the walls for the nations. Bring out the prophets and the intercessors, the apostles, the evangelists, those who have been in hiding, bring them out!" And I felt the Lord say that it was time for these hidden ones to come out of their season of wilderness warfare and torment, and they were going to come out with a fresh, hot coal on their tongues, to speak a fresh word of the Lord into this current moment in time. Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I began to hear the intercession of the saints. I could hear the tongues - a mighty roar rising from a generation that had been silenced and quenched for so long. I began to feel the birth pangs of the nations coming to a finality - a tipping point. This intercession felt like the midwife prayers of an impending birth of the nations in the earth. It was a prayer over the church, calling her to become the pure, spotless bride she was meant to be. I could feel the intercession of agreement with long forgotten words spoken over nations, cities, and regions, for revival, for reformation, for Jesus to be revealed in the earth. Then I began to cry out: "Lord, come! Lord Jesus, come!" Then suddenly, the prayers of the saints rose up in unity, crying out together: "Yes, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus, come!" I believe i had this dream because God is raising up a battlecry from the John the baptist, wilderness voices that are coming out of hiding to take thier post as the watchman of the hour and the fresh sound in the earth declaring “Prepare ye the ay of the Lord! So to the wilderness voices, maybe you’re feeling this. Maybe you've been through a season of robbery and wilderness - a season where it feels like you've been removed from your calling. But this is the season where God is bringing you back! He is placing a hot coal on your tongue! So if that is you today, I want to speak and prophesy over you: The hot coals are coming. You're about to feel a fresh unction. You're about to feel a fresh flow. And out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water in Jesus’ mighty name!

While the nations are in the pangs of birth right now, upheaval, chaos, and major transition, so is the church and so are you... True revival requires messy. It’s the oxen in the stable that disrupts man’s tidy plans that exclude the move of the Spirit, and shatters the veils of culture’s desensitization. And you are there right now. In the messiest of messy seasons, not because you failed but because you ASKED FOR IT. You cried out for breakthrough. You cried out for restoration. You cried out for the more of the Lord. Messy personal revival upsets the rhythms of your life that are no longer moving you forward but instead are keeping you stuck. Messy revival breaks ties and contracts and bondages you have been under that have been putting a ceiling over you and quenching your fire. Messy revival exposes the snakes in the grass and the places of robbery that have been depleting you and shifting your focus. Messy revival moves you out of limiting environments and causes you to long for wide open fields again. Messy revival brings a discontent for any sliver of complacency and religion you have tolerated. Messy revival brings death to everything in your life that is an obstruction to the “greater” God is wanting to pour out. Messy revival confronts and administers healing balm to places to deep seated trauma and pain keeping you in “medication” mode and staying in your sick bed. Messy revival redirects, corrects your steps, recalibrates, and sets your feet on the right path. Messy revival opens your eyes to where you have even in survival mode and going through the motions. Because messy revival comes primarily to set you on fire so you BURN again after years of warfare and walking through endless battlefields. And messy revival is here because God knows who you really are and what you are called to step into in this new season. It re-mantles you, leads you to surrender old manna and burn the old plow, renews your youth like the eagles, and restores the joy of your salvation. Do you feel it?

I woke up with John 11:11 on my heart this morning; “After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” I’m highly aware that God is awakening many right now that have been through the intensity of years of hard battle. It can break you. Dismantle your faith. Crush your courage and distinguish your fight and fire for the Lord over time. It can even feel like it’s de-commissioned you. But right now in a short period of time the Holy Spirit is dealing with the past seasons STUFF.. I wrote this, this morning; God sees your process and he isn’t rushing you right now. You have walked through alot and seen alot. Your heart has been through 20 years in 4 years so give yourself space to let Him revive you and reinvent you. Give Him room to clean out the hope deferred and cobwebs of the past seasons. Right now it’s all coming to the surface and He is tenderly scooping it out and breathing life back into your lungs. Soon you’ll wake up no longer feeling heaviness, anxiety, and deep unshakeable weariness, but it will feel like a valve was just flipped on the inside of you and out of your belly rivers will flow again. You’ll feel the pain and hardship of this past season and the toll it took on you mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually begin to lift as God OVERHAULS you in a short period of time. It’s an Ezekiel 37 - army of dry bones moment and it’s necessary so you don’t stay in your sick bed but are revived back to full health. Is this what is going on in you? There are great days ahead for you.. lean in and let the finished work complete the job. Can we pray for you this week? This is what He is doing; “who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:5 Lord I pray that you would renew their youth like the eagles! Restore the joy of their salvation! Bring that back into full health and joy in Jesus name!

This week's prophetic insight speaks to the current clash of kingdoms between those warring for legacy and the Jezebel spirit trying to hold onto its ground in a time of exposure and eviction on all levels. It’s a word of hope for those who have been on the journey with the Lord to break into a greater level of authority and victory over the enemy's schemes in this time we are living in. So let me start here: I believe this is a season in which the Lord is calling us into a higher place of spiritual intelligence and to take back the reins on the earth. They have been in the wrong hands. I believe this is a season when the Lord is giving back His power to the Church, but right now, God is dealing with the house of Ahab. The house of Ahab has robbed the Church of power and authority, which is why we have seen a recession of signs and wonders. The Church has been run by Ahab, but God is removing Ahab, and the drought will break over our lands. We will enter a season of glory once again. In an atmosphere of glory, power will return to the church. Signs, wonders, and miracles will be restored because, in an Ahab system, there is a brass-ed heaven. In this season, we have seen this brass covering over the Church, a ceiling caused by what we have allowed to rule there. But God is now dealing with the house of Ahab, and as He does, the Church will enter a realm of supernatural clarity and flow we haven’t seen in years. But how does this happen? FOR THE BLOODLINE BREAKERS There are people God has been raising up - His bloodline breakers. A generation - young to old whom God has called to break generational curses in their own lives, marriages, and families in a culture of acceptable Jezebel-ic influence and narcissistic dominance. But the purpose of God calling you, your family, and your marriage into this isn't just for your sake. While God is certainly working in your life, the most integral part of your divine calling is LEGACY. How do we establish legacy? We establish a legacy by breaking the dysfunctions and toxic patterns of the past that have seeped into our family lines, shaping the way we think, act, and engage with life. These dysfunctions are inherited not only from biological parents but also from spiritual influences. God has been working in your life, but there is a far greater reason: He is doing this for the church. God knew you could not break a corporate bloodline unless you first broke a personal one. You could not be a Jehu for a generation unless you were first a Jehu for your family. Does this make sense? Right now, I believe God is bringing decades of battling the Jezebel and Ahab spirits to a head. Many of you have been fighting this war in your personal lives, which is manifesting in various circumstances. Some of these may make you feel you have lost as if you've been through a warzone and have come out worse for wear. But let me assure you, it all will be worth it. This year, you will begin to notice that the battles you once fought are losing their steam. Why? Because whether you see it or not, you have stepped into your role as a Jehu for your family. Your strength has increased, and your spiritual muscles have grown. The Word of God says in Leviticus 21:15, "So that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am Yahweh who sets him apart." You have been set apart for this! Do you see it? Well done for battling all these years because it’s now coming to a head! Well done for being a Jehu for your family. You are now stepping into a season where you will witness the fruit of what God has done through your life, not only personally but in a corporate context. Did you know that the word of the Lord came to Jehu to annihilate Ahab and his sons? (2 Kings 10) We are witnessing this unfold. It wasn’t just about Jezebel; it was about dismantling an entire system. Jezebel created a subtle but powerful force, not only through her daughter Athaliah but also through an Ahab army, a mindset that would permeate the culture of the Church and dominate the world stage. In 1 Kings 21, Jezebel killed Naboth to get his vineyard for Ahab. When I think of the vineyard, I think of revival, the Jesus People Movement, and the place Lonnie Frisbee called a refuge. But Naboth’s name means "prophecies and words." Jezebel knew that if she could steal the prophetic voice of the Church, she could take the vineyard, and we would have to lean on man’s ways. That is where Ahab stepped in—a palatable form or derivative of Jezebel that would infiltrate the Church and establish idols of compromise and error. This is what the Church has seen for so long. That's why you've been on a take-back mission in your own life: to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab so you can be ready to be a Jehu, slaying the Ahab spirit and regaining the prophetic voice in your life and the Church. I’m saying this because right now, look at the battle in your family and the Church. It’s a battle for the future of our families and the future of the Church. Breaking out of the dysfunctions of Ahab’s system and beginning the vineyard again. By the way, this doesn't mean coming against people. It's coming against a spirit that has permeated culture. And that's been your take-back mission, to restore your bloodline and also to step into a place of being a Jehu that will restore the Bloodline of the Church. I want to be bold and say you're about to step into your shoes as a Jehu for your generation. You have pioneered well, and you have walked the hard road of not tolerating Jezebel. You are taking back your voice in the places it's been muzzled. This is why you have been on a mission to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab. First, to reclaim the prophetic voice in your own life, and then, to be a Jehu to restore the prophetic voice in the Church. LEAVING THE ESCAPE ROOM Now, let me speak to you about inheritance for a moment. Many of us have inherited the fruit of Ahab in our families and churches. It's permeated culture, and we've inherited its fruit. Yet we have been given the task of stepping out of that culture, stepping out of that mindset, and beginning to replace the fruit, replacing the root systems in every area of our lives that we've become used to. It's even been normalized in the Church. But let me say this very clearly: The Lord is bringing us out of our imprisonment. God is giving us the true inheritance that we are meant to have received through the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Just a few days ago, the Lord spoke to me while I was driving, “It’s time to leave the escape room.” There is a very popular activity that people do called an Escape Room. They are locked in this room and must look for clues and keys to help them ‘escape’ before an allotted period of time. What was God saying? He wanted to paint the picture to me that our generation, young and old, have been on a quest to find the keys to break this demonic culture that has been killing our families and society. For us to unlock the prison doors once and for all! We've been pioneers of this revolution to break the bloodlines of what's been acceptable and normal in the nations and our families and bring it back to a biblical standard in our churches. God gave me this phrase because we have been in an escape room. We've been in this place that has felt contained, this place that's felt like a war room, a battleground. It's like we've been in this place where we've been contending for so long because we know there HAS TO BE MORE than what we have seen or been handed! It’s where people have said, “I’m tired of seeing suicide and addiction rob my family! I’m tired of seeing divorce! I’m over seeing moral failures and perversion!” So we're looking for keys, we're looking for clues. We're looking for those things to break out of that place. And in our nations, we see abortion-to-birth laws passed and gender confusion, to name a few. All these different things that are constantly going against God's plan and design. And there's a generation who were born right now to say, “God, that is not your plan or design for my nation or my city. Give me the key. Give me the key!” And I want to prophesy to you that we are in a season that the Lord is giving us the keys to break out of that escape room for our families and for this generation!
 We are in a period of time where God has given the keys to the house of David back to the Church. That is why God had to shift the Ahab culture that has been permeating every facet of our lives. It's so that David can get back the keys. And when David takes back the keys, the door of that escape room swings wide open. And we are no longer receiving the inheritance of that confinement and imprisonment. We're no longer receiving the inheritance of an Ahab culture but rather the inheritance of the Davidic line and the finished work of the cross of Christ. So let me say this again: you are coming out of that place; you are coming out of the escape room right now. Do you see it in all the things God's been doing in your life? He has been confronting all areas of bondage in your life. He's been pulling, prodding, and shaking things upside down because he wants to set you free in you r finances and your health. We have to leave the escape room of man's methods where we are constantly trying to do things to break ourselves out of what God can only break us out of and what the blood of Jesus could only break us out of. And right now, the Blood is speaking a better word over us. We are in a revolution of the blood of Jesus where it's breaking that which has felt unbreakable and where you've said, “God, you could never heal that person of that Jezebel spirit. You could never set them free of that addiction.” But in this season, because of your contending and your prayer, God is breaking them free, setting you free, and setting your nation free right now. Can you see it on a global scale right now, too? Where there is shaking, things are coming to the surface; things are being resolved and exposed on high levels because God is shaking the earth upside down. The glory is revealing that which needs to be broken out and exposed, and the light of God is shining; it’s shining into those places because God is bringing the gold to the surface. In this hour, the glory of God is being revealed to us and through us. LANDING PADS & OPEN DOORS So, in this season where the Lord is leading and summoning the Church out of dysfunction and out of those escape rooms, he's revealing greater revelation on what we have been battling for so long. What we're going to see in the days ahead is essentially a lot of spiritual assignments unmasked. And what this is going to look like in many ways is even doctrine and areas of beliefs that we've had that have sadly, for many, been foundational and cornerstone beliefs that we, as Christians, have believed; certain things that we've accepted and ingested. We're going to see many of these things unmasked as counterfeits and demonic assignments. The smoke and mirrors battle of our age has been demonic assignments trying to lead us to false virtues, false fathering, false comforts, false accountability, false covering, all those things that look like the right and authentic thing, but they're just counterfeits. They fall short. They're plastic. And so, we're about to see the revealing of these spirits for what they truly are, and in that, the Lord will then bring the Church up to a higher place of understanding who they are and their authority. That can only come by experiencing the genuine and authentic thing. So, as these spirits are unmasked, it will help us understand, and we'll have a greater awareness of the spiritual realm, the mechanics of the spiritual realm, and an understanding of what we are dealing with. We can't keep going into a church, sitting in the pews, and having a cushy Christian experience when there's a dying world out there. And you can't keep being robbed in your marriage, your finances, and your health on a weekly basis, paying your tithes, and going home to brokenness and chaos. No, those days are coming to an end. But the area that I want to highlight to you in this unmasking is what the Lord's been speaking to me as: landing pads and open doors. He's highlighting to us through all this shaking, where we ourselves have actually been landing pads to the enemy's plans, keeping us in further bondage personally and corporately. In 1 John 14:30, Jesus said this powerful scripture: “I don’t have much more time to talk to you because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me.” Some other versions say, “he has nothing in common with me.” You see, when there's nothing inside you that resembles or looks like the enemy, he has no power over you. That means you are no longer a landing pad for the enemy. And so, the Lord said to me last week, “Nate, I am removing the landing pads in your life from the enemy!” What I'm seeing is that we're coming out of an era of battling that Jezebel spirit and the Ahab spirit, but in that, God is actually revealing the landing pads and open doors in our lives, enabling them access. I'm talking personally about where we have things in common with that spirit, where we have things that actually cause us to be landing pads for those things. We are coming to a place of complete victory over those spirits. But in order for that to happen, God had to expose the commonality in us with those spirits and reveal the other faces of how this has manifested in culture in the Church and the world around us. For instance, to make this practical right now, we are seeing two faces of Jezebel. For so long, we've said, Jezebel wants to silence you. Jezebel wants to muzzle you. Jezebel wants to intimidate you. Jezebel wants you to be in fear for your life because we look at the passage of scripture about Elijah running into the cave. But did you know there's another face to Jezebel? That there's also the side of Jezebel that wants to lure you into speaking out of turn? Into being a bitter, angry, venom-spitting voice? It’s where Jezebel puts on a different face and, instead of muzzling voices, seeks to raise up voices with the wrong spirit. It’s sneaky because it looks like God’s heart... from a certain angle. It’s cunning because it plays on the pain and experiences of the hurting Church. But it doesn’t carry His heart. That is why Elijah had to go into the cave and be refreshed in his awareness of the voice of God and the mantle that he carried; otherwise, his pain and his fear would've sent him out of that place and deviated from his calling. Does this make sense? God, right now, is dealing with the landing pads and the triggers and the open doors we've had in our lives. He's destroying the commonality that we've had so we can step out of pioneering and contending for breakthroughs and legacy and finally taste it! So even right now, give the Lord any areas in your life, the landing pads and the places of commonality that you've had with the enemy, forgive those you need to forgive, and give God the pain and the wounds of the past. And lastly, let me say this. THANK YOU for walking this narrow road. It’s not been easy, and it’s been costly when so many are choosing to walk in the dysfunctions they  inherited and have leveled oj, choosing not to fight to break free. But you have stood and contended, like Hannah who was barren...you stood. Like Ruth, you stood. Like Jacob, you have wrestled with the promise even when it looked bleak or as if it had failed. But now, you will see the fruit of this long battle and lead others into the same legacy.
