MARKETPLACE MOVEMENTS, UNUSUAL STARTUPS, MEDIA APOSTLES, & AN ENTREPRENEUR EXPLOSION

MARKETPLACE MOVEMENTS, UNUSUAL STARTUPS, MEDIA APOSTLES, & AN ENTREPRENEUR EXPLOSION

For the last few weeks, I have been having revelatory moments where God will speak to me about the new start-ups and movements that are going to rise up in the next year that will breathe life and vitality to all spheres. I call them movements because they are not man’s ideas, but truly Holy Spirit breathed and birthed innovations and strategies. One of the greatest privileges in life are simply asking God what He is doing, and this is simply one of His responses to me.

“I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN WHAT I SAID”

The first thing I wrote down was those words. I felt the Lord's heart towards people they have been mostly operating outside of the church in businesses, or in ventures that weren’t considered traditionally as a ministry, but they had a ministry focus or KINGDOM core values that made them unlike normal marketplace or career people. I saw the people who had a call to bring change and kingdom to different spheres but felt as though their visions had not yet come to pass. Some even felt like their plans were over. Their restaurant, their small business, their new idea that hadn’t gained traction yet. Then there were those who God was just wanting to encourage that what they were seeing was nothing compared to what was coming. He hasn’t forgotten and I believe what He was showing me was for you.

ENTREPRENEUR EXPLOSION & A KINGDOM MARKETPLACE REVOLUTION

Then I saw fire from heaven being released upon them and the words “ENTREPRENEUR ARMY” came into my spirit as if God was causing a rising up and emerging of unique marketplace revivalists that would change the shape of many spheres of influence around the globe. Then I wrote down the word “cure” and I realized that God was releasing a wave of kingdom innovators who would be the cure for many issues that the wisdom of the world could not fix. They would write the laws for problems and injustices that man’s ways weren’t bringing any change to, and they would literally be in the inventors of medical breakthroughs the world needed.

ROLE CALL & ROLL CHANGE

There are those who in 2018 and 2019 had begun to feel a huge trajectory shift of assignment, passion, conviction, and purpose, but in 2020 it came to its obvious fork in the road moment where God began physically and more overtly moving you on and you had to burn the plow. To some this has been like stepping into freedom and a weight off their shoulders, but to others, it has been painful. You need to remember God only takes you from glory to glory, so what comes next although different will be even more fulfilling and stir up a new passion in you. This is not the end, it’s the letting go before the new door.

THE OIL CHANGE & THE NEW MANTLE

When the old assignment begins to lose its luster and there is no longer much oil or unction to operate in it, many begin to feel hopeless and future-less because they can’t quite see what they are moving into next. But God is using this time to remove what’s remaining in the tank and begin to pour in new oil and fuel. This has been the most crucial process for so many moving into new ventures and spheres of influence because while you can bring your experience with you, your baggage must be left at the door as you move into the new thing so you can actually flourish in it. This is where God does a deep healing work in those who have been burnt out towards the end of their last season, exhausted from the transition and endless changes that have come, refreshes you, and clears ALL overheads.

CROSSOVER MOVEMENTS & FILLING EMPTY SPACES

The words “cross-over” movements then popped into my spirit and I saw these lines being removed that were sitting as barriers between places of impact. People have been dancing over them for years, back and forth like they are afraid to cross them, but the Lord made it so clear to me. THEY ARE ALL THE ONE AND THE SAME! “Have I not filled you with my Glory? Have I not given you my Spirit? Do you not have my mind? Then where I place you matters not but that you release what I give you and multiply it” God is breaking our boxes right now of what ministry looks like because God has called the anointed, gifted, and 5 fold offices not just to the church but also to bring salt and light into the world. There are empty spaces and seats that are being filled that NO ONE has ever occupied, and it’s time we started to ask the question in this time of recalibration and relocation, “Where am I meant to be?”

People are feeling an unusual call to pioneer unusual start-ups right now that will be game-changers in many different sectors. Don’t despise the day of small beginnings, just be faithful and begin! There are forgotten markets that God is bringing back around and areas of investment that have been overlooked. The word here is “RIPE” so ask God where those ripe places are.

FINANCE APOSTLES, MEDIA APOSTLES & THE SHIFT OF POWER

God has been speaking to me about cultural shifters that are coming to different strategic industries in the days to come to operate in the Isaiah 45:1-3 anointing to strip earthly kings of their armor, open doors and gates, level the mountains, break down gates of bronze, cut through bars of iron, access hidden wealth that has been in the wrong hands. Specifically, I saw two areas this was going to happen - in the finance sector and the media. I saw these two areas were being used hand in hand by the enemy to advance his devices, but apostles were being sent in as oxen to break down demonic systems and take it back. We are going to see such a shift of influence of power and influence as God positions these mighty fearless ones into their roles.

INNOVATION & TECHNICAL BOOM

I believe that we are about to see a season of extraordinary innovation and a technical boom. The trade relationships are shifting, and it’s been causing strains in many areas but also opportunities to think outside the box and create solutions we didn’t need prior to 2020 and products that weren’t on the radar years ago. In particular, God spoke to me about a global trade summit in Europe in 2021 and the pooling of resources and innovation that would cause there to be a boom. It’s what happens when many hands and anointed minds come together.

After this, I had two connected visions. One was of a computer screen full of code that was scrolling fast like the matrix language and it was unlike anything I had seen before. There will be online innovation in the community and networking space that will cause greater “immersion” of the online experience in the years to come. Right now, new and unseen infrastructure is being built to house the visions of people who are trying to connect people better around the world. There are two sides to this coin. There is the push to the development of technology that tracks and traces online and geographical footprints for the sake of tracing and controlling and individual IP, and there is also genuinely pure technology being created for the purpose of connection and greater productivity. There will be new search and categorization algorithms that are created that will put data mapping light years ahead of where it is now.

THE MONEY FLOW TO NATIONS IS CHANGING DIRECTION

I believe we are in the time of the redistribution of wealth and God is making sure that we are moving with Him on this. I wrote down “change or money flow” and I saw a river shift its direction of current. This is where we need to know WHERE to invest. Where to put our seed and where to use our bread. God is restoring the years the locust has eaten. The businesses and movements that burnt out and failed and bringing them back to roaring life!

ASK FOR THE MANTLE OF WISDOM, LONG FOR THE ENCOUNTER, ACT UPON DREAMS

As I sat looking over my notes, I had the story of Joseph come to mind that He operated in a kingdom mindset in the role of an overseer of business and industry. From correctly discerning pharaoh's dream he was able to implement strategies to ensure that during the famine that the kingdom was provided for. THIS is the space God is moving many into.

After this these passages came into my spirit;

“I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings” 1 Kings 3:12-13

“And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship” Exodus 31:3

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” Jeremiah 33:3

The keys here are simple;

Asking God for wisdom and discernment to make every decision.
Walking in a kingly anointing, not a beggar’s mindset.
Putting on and applying wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and excellence
Living and longing for the encounter that causes your oil to be full and your spirit quick and sharp.
Your ears and eyes open to receive what you couldn’t know on your own
Acting upon/implement what you receive

Sow a Seed

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!
