By Nate Johnston 24 Apr, 2024
Opposition to the deeper REST/RESET This is where the enemy wars against you entering the secret place, bombarding you with busyness, striving, pressure to get things done, and sudden overwhelming distractions. The healing and heart clearing is so important right now and for some God is doing a complete makeover, cutting hidden ties, and removing wounds and trauma you didn’t even know you were carrying. Opposition of CLARITY to receive revelation/blueprints This is where the enemy sends chatter and words against you, where the atmosphere feels foggy and confusion tries to set in, and while God is always speaking it feels like the pieces don’t connect or seems unclear. For many this is manifested in the battle of the mind coming against them right now and the temptation to fall back into old mindsets, fears, and panic, but has been mainly been coming through peoples words of mockery and judgement. The war against you to RECEIVE is because the delivery is vital right now. Opposition on your VOICE In a time that the pure and clear prophetic has never been needed more there has been an obvious assignment to shut down voices rising up. Often disguised as wisdom, safe-guarding, and protecting purity (which are all necessary) this imposter spirit wants to shut down the prophetic by causing division, fault-finding/critical spirit, and instead of broadcasting hope - broadcasting opinions and agendas. This causes true voices of hope to shut down and hide. Opposition on what God is BUILDING in you This is where the enemy very directly hits you in the very area God is really adding favor, anointing, conviction, and vision in. He wants to sabotage it by making you second guess yourself, bring in controlling people and measures to taint it, or cause delays and setbacks/closed doors in the places God has promised. Opposition to your MANTLE and new mission/appointment Very much the same as what God is building in you but specifically the opposition that comes as a direct result of the noticeable increase you have stepped into and the office/appointment you have before you. The enemy sees the new mantle, your sudden fire and rising authority and has been warring against that appointment with weariness and disappointment. This is where you need wisdom and discernment to know that you aren’t taking on yokes, wrong armour, or peoples stuff, but only what God anoints and mantles you with. WHY AM I DEALING WITH OPPOSITION RIGHT NOW? - God is taking you from GLORY TO GLORY. - Your story is changing. Your track history is changing. - God is LIFTING you out of a whole way of living you got way too used to, administering his healing balm, restoration, and justice from many years ago. It’s the line in the sand so you can move into this season FULLY. - New blueprints and VISION are coming to you! You are in a new unknown era and God is giving you clear GPS directions, coordinates, and mission details for you to steward and walk out. - Your once hidden, squashed, silenced, and timid voice is suddenly ROARING from within you and making its way to the surface. You have no agenda, no territory to selfishly protect, and no motives or self-promotion and the earth needs the pure sound of your voice to cut through the noise. - God is BUILDING you, ESTABLISHING you, ANOINTING you afresh, and moving through you in a way you have not seen Him do! - You have been commissioned by God in the wilderness and now you are coming out of that season with a weighty governmental mantle and call to the nations to see them come to Jesus! SO HOW DO I RESPOND? - Take higher ground. PURSUE the secret place. FIGHT for it. It says in Hebrews 4:11 “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest” It can be difficult in pressure but it's the only place you can get free/clear. - Be armored up. Take communion regularly. - Rebuke the wind and waves. This is your offensive stance. Get out the word and bind up what is coming at you. Clear the atmosphere. Tell the opposition to STOP in Jesus name. - SHAKE IT OFF & MOVE ON! In Acts 18:6 it says “But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” Don’t let it stop you, hold you back, or slow you down. - Keep your vision before you regardless of what you see. Write down the vision, prophesy it, steward your promises, and guard them with your life. Look at what GOD is doing! We must keep our eyes on Jesus more than the storm that surrounds us, more than any pandemic. What is God doing and saying over you right now ?

Today, as we were traveling I had a vision of a bloodline painted on the ground that looked like the border of states or nations. Then I saw people approach the line and put things in a trash can before they then JUMPED over the line. Instantly I thought of the Australian border security and how it is illegal to bring seeds from other nations that can harm our habitat. Then I said out loud “Old seeds have had to die in order to crossover” Then the Lord said, “Gethsemane is still a garden” and it hit me. We have been in a season where the Lord has been bringing us through the greatest purging season we have yet seen. It feels like death. But it’s not to us, but to the old place we have been in. But something has shifted. You have crossed over and haven’t even realized it. You spent so long praying and contending for a shift and it’s right now upon you. It always begins spiritually before it begins to show up in the natural, but it’s happened. This Passover was a crossover into an internal shift of epic proportions. Your appetite and affections have changed. Your vision is updating rapidly in real time. You can’t explain how you feel because you are still trying to get your bearings but you know your feet are about to move and you are feeling the winds of change and the quaking of a good kind of transition beneath you. You have felt so lost especially in the last few months but you can begin to taste the rain in the air after the drought and sense that it’s all about to connect. The emptying and the heartache are all part of the process that inevitably lead to a brand new day and a fresh wind... The enemy has raged and sought to rob, steal, and destroy you from every angle but NOTHING can stop what the Lord is about to do in your life. NOTHING! Does he know that pressing and crushing only increases you after some time? Do you know that? Now let me prophesy: You are coming back into your fullness. You are coming back from the brink of death and out of the dark chasm you have been living in and there will not only be a comeback but there will be INTEREST paid for everything that was robbed and stolen from you! The blood of Jesus has spoken over you and it has declared “Passover!” but now the Lord is declaring over you “Your crossover is here!” So get up off your sickbed and shake off the defeat and misery and prophesy again son/daughter because it’s here in Jesus name!

Since we crossed over into 2024 I have noticed a massive shift in my dreams from the Lord. One of the common themes I keep dreaming about is healing and deliverance, but in every dream, it’s not just happening individually but in masse. It’s become quite common for me to dream where I am seeing people encountering freedom and deliverance on such a scale and level of power and glory that I will wake up feeling it still lingering. It’s captured my heart. The longing and desire of Jesus to see His people truly free. I feel it in my bones: we are crossing over. We have bound the church for too long. The pews have been places where sickness has thrived and we have normalized issues that Jesus healed people from in the Bible. We have celebrated dysfunctions, mental illness, and given the enemy our high places instead of casting out the snake, defying Jezebel, and calling out strongmen for what they are. They have sat at our tables for too long, poisoning pulpits, compromising the bride, killing marriages, and raising prodigals. We have band-aided what has plagued us instead of driven it out with the power of the spirit. We have been sick with nowhere to go and no doctors, nurses, or healers to lead us to wholeness. But yes, those days are over. We are crossing over. TURN OFF THE ENTERTAINMENT Recently in a dream, I heard the Lord say “My church shall be a hospital for the sick again, and no longer the concert” This shook me deeply and broke me realising the current state of the church where we have become more about entertainment, performance worship, big screens and smoke machines, celebrity speakers, cleverly crafted motivational messages, and emotionally charged atmospheres. They give you goosebumps and those moments of temporary emotionalism but are often void of the presence of God and His power to save, heal, and transform the broken. People come because they are deeply broken and they leave…still broken. Instead, they got a show and a self-help bandaid that lasted days if not hours. That’s not hope. That’s not the gospel. That’s not Jesus. That’s another Jesus. That's not evangelism if no one is being changed. That’s not prophecy if it’s enabling dysfunction. We need the power of the spirit again in our churches not gimmicks. We need true connection and community, not a false sense of belonging in exchange for our 10 percent. We have been going to concerts all along and have been paying the price of admission. But no longer, because the concert days are coming to an end and the days of the hospital church are coming back again. THE TOUCH OF HIS HEM And I hear the cry of the world and the church in bondage; “If I could just experience peace!” “If I could just be freed of this pain!” “If I could just get rid of this addiction!” “If I could just silence the tormenting voices!” “If I could just be WHOLE!” And right now there is a longing rising like a deep groan. It’s a birth pang resounding in the earth of a people craving true freedom - the kind that only Jesus can bring. It’s the cry of humanity like the woman with the issue of blood, desperate to be free. That’s why people flocked to Jesus. They were bound and he made them free. He didn’t give them a spiritualised theatre performance and then let them stay oppressed. He set the oppressed free. Jesus was so focused on delivering the oppressed that He would go out of his way to do it. The woman at the well in Samaria was not on Jesus’ intended path but He changed His route just to MAKE HER WHOLE. And right now He is doing the same thing to the church: changing our route to set as many free as possible. We are detouring away from the powerless self-help, inspirational quote Christianity and merging back onto the road of raw power and deliverance. And to those who think I am saying that creativity and the arts are wrong. Please listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying. The arts are worship and are powerful and necessary if they are coupled with the power of the spirit, but on their own, they are a feast in a prison cell. WE CAN’T PLAY SAFE It’s time to break the ceilings of man we have placed over our churches. They have desensitised us to the miracles, signs, and wonders that are meant to be commonplace. It has weakened our confidence in the blood of Jesus. It has reduced the power of the gospel down to goosebumps during worship and that’s a mockery to the spotless lamb that was slain. Pastors and leaders, you can’t play it safe anymore! Bring in the bound! Bring in those facing impossibilities that only Jesus can fix! Repent for your lack of faith and being double-minded. Ask God to remind you again of His mighty power and exploits. Then by faith, open your doors and call for the sick and oppressed and watch what God does I dare you. IT’S COMING BACK! 4 months before Jeff Jansen passed away he called me out of the blue with a word. “Nate you are going to see the anointing of A.A Allen break out again around you. Get ready because what has been lost is being restored!” I believe this. In fact, it’s been happening more frequently and unexpectedly. It’s been stirring me deeply and breaking any desire to be safe and enjoy a tidy meeting anymore. We need the messy meetings again, where the holy spirit is moving in such a way that there isn’t a still person in the room. It’s where you have one section experiencing the joy of the lord, laughing uncontrollably as the Holy Spirit breaks off years of deep-seated depression and oppression. It’s where you have another section going into visions, encountering the glory of God and being irreparably changed. It’s where people begin manifesting without hands even being laid on because strongmen who have been there for decades suddenly get evicted in the weight of the glory in the room. It’s where God touches the minds of those who have been mentally bound and in moments coming into peace and their right minds again. It’s where the worst failures in human standards get baptised in fire and step into a new beginning. It’s where addicts hand over their drugs and pipes. It’s where we begin to see the dead raised normalized again. The blind seeing. The deaf hearing. And the mantle of Jesus, Isaiah 61 falls upon the church again, and we experience the GREATER WORKS Jesus said we would do. That’s the hospital church, and it’s coming back. “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning. and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated, they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations and in their riches you will boast. Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours” - Isaiah 61:1-7  RECEIVE THE POWER Now for those reading this who are experiencing impossibilities and this word felt like both an uncomfortable confrontation and a soothing balm, please read this last part. Jesus wants you healed and whole. Hope deferred has sunken into the church like a slow-releasing poison. It’s the result of years of the enemy delaying breakthroughs and seeing sickness thrive instead of decrease, financial issues abounding, dreams being smashed on the rocks of disappointment, mental wars flourishing, and demonic strongholds getting stronger. The narrative the enemy has wanted you to believe is that you are powerless and God has no interest in setting you free. Right now break that lie! Lay your frustration, and hope deferred down. Shake off the lies of the enemy! Let me pray over you. Jesus, according to your word SET THEM FREE! Every demonic spirit oppressing them GO in Jesus' name! Every strongman of sickness and infirmity GO in Jesus' name! Every assignment of lack leaves now in Jesus' name! Jesus make them WHOLE in the mighty name of Jesus! Now mantle them with power from in high again, and raise your end-time church as the surgeons and healers you called us to be. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” - Acts 1:8

(The Lord gave me this word a week before we had our first gathering in Colorado Springs on March 31st 2024) I heard the lord say, “The eagles have been looking for a place to gather and have found none." Alone in their nests. Hidden in crooks and caves they have felt restless and looking for their people. A company who aren’t about building the next empire or setting the next exclusive table of elite celebrity Christians, but a people with no agenda but Jesus. But they have been nomads and vagabonds, looking at their wings molting and feeling like their greatest days were behind them. But the lord says “My eagles, now is the time to gather! For your Lone Ranger days are over. Your days of longing for the new wine and not seeing it are over” In exchange for your hunger and desperation I am giving you what you have been longing for. I am now gathering my eagles in their nests across the globe and they will experience my latter glory says the Lord. For I have marked you as my new breed. A set apart people created for this kairos moment. To lead the charge at the turning of the the tide. Many have said “What is the point? Our nation and nations have decided their fate!” And the lord would say “Josiah generation rise up. Esther generation rise up!” For I am raising up new kings and deposing bad stewards!” (Daniel 2:21-22) You are the kings I am raising up for this hour. My remnant who I have reserved who have not bowed their knee to Baal. You are here at the turning of a tide because I have anointed you to lead the church into the new You have said “We are done with the old manna!” We are done with compromise and mixture and culture telling us what we can and can’t do and can and cannot say. "We are the voice of the one crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the lord!” You are the ones that won’t bow, won’t relent, and wont hide in caves anymore. You thought your flame had burned out after years of going through valley after valley and battle after battle and dark night after dark night but you have only grown in the dark. You have only increased. In the dirt you died and now the Lord says “In this moment I am now anointing you fresh for this hour of mighty exploits!” “I am mantling you with the double portion of my spirit to rise up as my pure mouthpieces, to confront the compromise and mixture in the current house, and build the new.” You will dethrone kings and evict principalities. You will tear down ideologies and lies cast like a veil of blindness over the nations. And you will see my righteousness exalted over this nation and you will establish my kingdom. So stop running and stop hiding. You are here because you can’t do the old thing anymore. “In fact, this is a moment that you must lay down the last remnants of the old season. It’s time to be emptied so I can fill you, mantle you, and robe you for the days to come” My eagles now is your time. For even now I am breaking the assignments of frustration and chaos that have been sent against you and your family. Fires that have erupted over the years to keep you grounded in a season I have called you to fly, to soar and hear what I am saying. This is a new day and the turning of the tide. “Now!” The Lord says; “Get ready for the new epoch - a season of the diminishing of man’s systems and empires and the era of the remnant. It is now upon you!” We are in the hour of the convocation of eagles and the gathering of those who seek only my face and nothing added. Then I heard the lord say “You have only been in the birth pangs up until now but get ready because the birthing is coming” It is the birthing of my pure and spotless bride that will emerge and set things right. “So my eagles, it’s time to go from flying solo to gathering.” “Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and where my people are in unity together as one voice there is an anointing that looses chains of wickedness and bandage.” For just as there was a purpose to the prophets in Elijah’s day being hidden, there has been a purpose to your season of hiddenness. But that hour is over.” “I am calling you forth and unravelling you from the bonds of the past battles.” “I am breaking off the deeply embedded weariness and trauma that has been sitting like a poison in your soul.” “Like a demonic fatigue it has rested on you and stolen your strength and vision, but NOW you shall rise up on eagles wings again and walk and not faint!” “For how can you fly without strength? And know where to fly without my direction?” “This is why I have responded to your cries and have answered.” This is the turning of the tide that has been against you. This is where I rebuild you. Restore you. Rejuvenate you. Resurrect you. “And set you loose for your next season of flight” Yes the tide has turned. Don’t believe the reports. The tide has turned. “Let it be remembered that at this crossover I strategically had you emerge and soar that the voice of my church would once more crash the chatter of the airwaves and lead my church forward.” Let it be remembered that at the turning of the tide I raised up a remnant of a different dna and cloth that would be the new standard of the new day I am leading them into. And I am right now shaking up the lone nests of the burned out and isolated. Now it’s time to find the eagles and set the table for the convocation. “Yes, once there was only few but now you are many. Once on the fringe now you are coming back to the center again." There has been a great exodus from man made places of bondage but now you have been assigned to be a safe place for those seeking refuge and needing to be rebuilt. “For I am bringing my church back to the book of acts once again and clearing her heart of the idols of her own making.” “So break out of the restraints that have held you, the fears that have shut you down, and the defeat that has choked you, and take fight for the greatest chapter of your life and odyssey with me!” Says the Lord."

I hear the Lord saying “Come up higher this week out of the swirl and drama being stirred up, for it is a distraction from what is coming” As He says this I see many whirlwinds swirling in the spirit then I hear; “The propaganda of the enemy has brought confusion and fear over the times but this week I am clearing the air!” “For I am exposing the enemies agenda to bring shipwreck to my people by bombarding them over and over with defeat and hopelessness” “This week the mental warfare against them must come to an end!” “And they will rise up higher and see clearly again” “And they will see what is true and what is false, what is swirl and what is peace, and what is my heart and what is the enemies games” “And I will lead them out of the endless drama and counterfeit missions and back into alignment with my heart again” “For there is a divine convergence moment coming upon the church where REVELATION meets MANIFESTATION” “It’s a moment where your journals of dreams and insight become the navigational manual for the days to come” “And you no longer just speak about where I am leading the church, but you will lead them” “And you will finally build what you have only dreamed about for years” “But can you see? The enemy does not want you to step into this fulfillment moment but wants you to go around the mountain again. “His slight of hand trick is right now distracting many from what is coming. Can you see it?” “The slander coming at you is a trick” “The opposition against your voice and mission is a trick” “The fires to put out and the sudden chaos is a trick. Can you see it?” “Keep your eyes fixed on me! Don’t lose your peace! Don’t be pulled to the right or to the left” “Push and birth this with me! You are in the final stages of a long pioneering journey and I want you to experience the joy of delivery” “It’s a moment of hopeful fulfilled for my church who have been lost in the process and heavy laden pregnancy” “But now it’s a birthing and building season” “So this week, ignore the drama, silence the fear, and build and birth with me” “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:2
By Nate Johnston 02 Apr, 2024
I had an audible dream last night where Father God spoke to me in a heart-to-heart way. I woke up and wrote down what I remembered and I knew this was a letter to all of us, an encouragement for making it through a long season, and a re-focus for the months to come. I pray this speaks directly to your heart and draws you into even deeper dialogue with Him this month. “WELL DONE FOR ENDURING THE PROCESS” Firstly I heard Him say “Well done. Well done for enduring the process I have taken you through even though at times it has felt more than you could handle. Well done for allowing my purifying fire to come into every facet of your life. It was never meant to expose you but to remove every contaminate that would trip you up down the road. Well done, I am so proud of you! I have been on a mission to bring you out of the dark ages of your faith where constant trials were sent to overwhelm you and steal your heart from me, but they didn’t succeed. I saw all the other affections and I’m a jealous God. I saw all the other distractions looking for a way into your world. I saw all the arrows of the enemy wanting to pierce you in the back and steal you from me and I knew I needed to alter the course of your life to finally bring you into the fullness you kept asking me for. Well done for clinging to me even when you doubted my methods. Well done for worshipping me in the waiting” “HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HOPE FULFILLED LOOKS LIKE?” “My goodness never left you. It never waned even for a moment. I didn’t leave you or abandon you. But I saw you at times walking around defeated and lost, somehow convinced that hopelessness would always be a part of your life, believing that loss and settling for second best is the best life you can hope for. What happened? Have you forgotten what hope fulfilled looks like? Has it been so long? This month I am going to pull you out of defeat and seat you at the table. I am going to cause every root of hopelessness to be outnumbered by new springs of hope. I am going to remind and restore what you lost in the long road and process to where you are so you quit thinking that I don’t live up to what I promise. I DO NOT LIE, and you are about to be reminded that my promises for you are yes and amen. I’m removing the tiredness from your heart where you felt this was all on you. I am healing your heart from the toll the warfare and opposition had on you. I am taking away the slumber that kept tempting you to sleep away the season, and I am giving you back your strength and you will remember what it is to laugh and be genuinely happy and fulfilled. I will restore you and give you REST, so rest in me and watch what I do for you” “LOOK WHAT WE HAVE BUILT TOGETHER!” Then I heard Him say “Look what we built together! Can you see it! Can you see the beauty through all of the mess you have had surrounding you? It’s time to stop beating yourself up for how you have perceived you have navigated this difficult time and begin to celebrate that you have made it through some of life’s greatest obstacles and defeated the most intimidating giants. You stood well. You fought well. You have continued to hope even despite not seeing immediate change. Even when you only saw delay and discouragement crouched at your door. Now LOOK and see what we have built together. In the next month, you are going to see the fresh buds of life come from the most unexpected places and fruit where you never realized were producing for you. Seeds you have sown that died, DREAMS you once had are NOW going to be resurrected but with interest!” (When I woke up from this dream it was 4:20 am and I knew God was even speaking through that) “But the seed sown on good soil represents those who open their hearts to receive the Word and their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even one hundred times more than was sown!” Mark 4:20 “TAKE A LOOK AROUND, YOU ARE NOT WHERE YOU WERE!” “In the shaking, you have been fully awoken. In the wilderness and greatest battle of your life, you have been anointed with my oil. Yes, that’s right. I know it’s not what you expected. It’s not the destiny-package you were hoping for but you haven’t even seen the pages of your book yet to come. You have been stuck on the moment you are in and haven’t measured this transition next to eternity, but let me tell you, you haven’t just survived, you have been revived! It may not look like it yet but one day soon you will realize that this season of shaking was your set up, your preparation, your making! The enemy intended it to be your undoing but it didn’t work! Instead, it was your consecration, your knighting, your commissioning, and coronation. Now take a look around and see that you are not where you used to be. I have removed you from so many vices that once entangled you. I have loosed you from the places that kept you bound. Apathy and complacency are no longer suffocating the life out of you and you are no longer in a place of limitation. Can you see the wide-open space before you? Prepare your heart for this” “THIS YEAR YOU’LL KNOW ME AS PROVIDER & SUPPLIER!” “Stop asking for the scraps from under the table,” He said. “I want you to know my heart for you in this season regarding your finances and resources. You need to be fully and intimately acquainted with my goodness over your life and know that I not only desire for you to be looked after but I need you to grow in this area so I can grow you into the territory I have given you. You can’t keep having a poverty mindset when I’ve called you to the land of milk and honey. There are nations that need to be discipled and cities that need to be reached but if you keep not expecting me to provide for the vision that I gave you, how will the kingdom be released? This is a month that I am going to stretch you to believe beyond what you have before. I am calling you to ENLARGE and stretch out wider. Your vision has to get much bigger than it has been. I am breaking the survival mentality off the church and healing the wounds of lack of integrity and fear of failure. This will be a year you know me as provider and supplier. So ask me, what do you need? What does the destiny I have placed in you require? Dream with me again. Go back to the drawing board and believe beyond where you have and don’t stop til what you envision looks impossible. I am serving justice upon the assignments that have come to continually rob your bread and seed and caused my people to retreat. No, you will now advance and plant, move out of lack and into more than enough!” “PIONEER AGAIN WITH ME” It is time to finally move on from this place. It has served its purpose, but now the scenery must change just like everything else has. You mustn’t think your whole existence will be in the trenches. You are called to a war but that doesn’t mean you are meant to live in the valley of the shadow of death, no, I have been teaching you how to come up out of that place and live higher. I have been calling you up into new ways of viewing all that opposes you so you aren’t surrendering to the wrong thing. So now you are moving on from this place and we are going on a brand new adventure together. There will be many unknowns and many new roads we forge but you will find your passion again and know I am running with you. It will keep requiring courage and letting go of doing things how you once did, but it will be full of so much joy. Yes, the pages of history are before us and we are going to write them together. Will you join me? “Yet I totally trust you to rescue me one more time, so that I can see once again how good you are while I’m still alive!” Psalms 27:13 “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever” Psalm 23:6

I woke up this morning in intercession over many who have been given a bad report in the last 3 - 6 months. Whether it’s a bad health report, financial situation, issues in your family/marriage, or spiritually you just feel like you are in bondage and the lies and bad reports of the enemy are broadcasting daily of your life. Today I want to come into agreement in faith that whatever assignment the enemy has released over you, the demonic decree or failure and shipwreck, the word of hopelessness and defeat, and the bad and bleak report MUST BOW TO THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB! A few weeks ago we shared that we were going to hold a gathering in Colorado Springs. That same night I shared it I went into a powerful dream. I the dream I'm in a church building and the blood of Jesus is flowing down the altar and people are running desperately to get the blood. As they run to the blood, they begin getting delivered. They're getting set free. They're getting healed, and they're coming up completely new and whole. I knew the Lord was telling me two things; This is what we were going to see that night (and we did! Link in the email) We were in a time when the revelation of the blood of Jesus and the finished work of the cross was going to bring a SHIFT back to the church. You see, you and I have been through some battles the last few years and it’s easy to begin to forget the power of Jesus to turn impossible situations around. We almost begin to tolerate and normalize the enemy’s plans because we get tired. We get so disillusioned and weary that we stop fighting and begin to believe the bad news surrounding us. Right? But…. THE BLOOD SPEAKS A BETTER WORD! At the wedding at Cana when the old wine ran out, Jesus turned water into wine and served the best last! What if we were in the days of seeing the power of the Blood revolutionize the earth and raise Gods people to new life, hope, and power that shifts everything around us? It's the forgotten weapon that the church has forsaken and this Resurrection Sunday I feel strongly the Lord saying” Let my blood turn around what you are facing!” Many of you today are feeling bound. Many of you come feeling shackled. Many of you feel stuck and tormented by the bad report. But today - the bad report must now in Jesus' name! Are you in agreement with me? “To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel”Hebrews 12:24 Today we felt to simply pray with you that the blood of Jesus would break the bad report. I feel like it’s a moment where the Lord wants to re-covenant with you and break all other covenants you may be in that is bringing you bondage. The lies you have agreed with. The condemnation screaming at you. Whatever word swirl and storm you are in today must be cleared by the power of the blood! So as you read this take communion and behold Jesus. Do it on your own, or with your family. Lay down everything that you have been in bondage to. Every lie, addiction, and issue. Lay down the bad report.. and come into agreement with the victory of the blood of Jesus and the finished work. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. Rev 12:11 We decree today “IT IS FINISHED” over your life. Every plan of the enemy to take you out and rob you no longer have any power in Jesus' name! Addictions are breaking off your life. Loss and calamity are breaking. Religious holds are breaking Jezebelic muzzles and holds are breaking. Sickness, disease, and death is breaking. The war against your home is breaking. The war against your finances are breaking.. IN JESUS NAME! This resurrection Sunday we pray that you would feel the deepest, richest peace you have felt in years as you step out of the demonic decree that has been hanging over you and enter the fresh hope and amazing future God has for you In Jesus name!

(Before you read this word it's important you know how weighty this felt to me. Waking up from an audible dream and trying to write down everything feels like a flood breaking out and trying to be the pen keeping up. I woke up beyond moved. I felt so raw I could barely function for hours. If I'm honest I don't think I have done this word justice, so I am praying that you too have your own revelation concerning this in the days to come) Grassroots: “not adapted from or added to an existing facility or operation : totally new” “of, relating to, or involving the common people, especially as contrasted with or separable from an elite” Recently the Lord spoke to me in a dream “Nate you are going back to “grassroots” to birth what is coming” “You are going back to the simple, the uncluttered, and the untethered from the systems and methods of man” “My remnant are going to peel back the layers of religion and lead the church back to simplicity again” “For many been living grieved by the compromise, apathy, and mixture of the current institution” “They have been set aside for this purpose but have been deeply discouraged to see that the empires of man still seem to be thriving in a time where the real church needs to rise up” “But In a moment the castles of sand shall fall that are not built upon me” “And in that moment I shall raise up a “faithful priest” a people who aren’t about status and building the tallest tower, but a people who worship me and truly love me” THE TIRED BRIDE “For I have seen my bride, tired, burnt out by the spirit of religion that has taken over the pulpit for decades, enslaved to something that was meant to make her come alive” “But they made it about control and toil for a vision that was not mine” “They made it about bricks and mortar and put families, marriages, and destinies on the altar to achieve it” “And now we have a tired bride that are bitter, in bondage, and need deliverance from a narrative they have been fed their whole lives” “Oh I long to see her rise up, full of joy and free!” “And in this next season I am leading her back to a fresh slate and I will restore joy to her and unshackled purpose will be found there” “I will lead her from the battlefield and heal her wounds” says the Lord. THE CALL OF THE WILD “For many have felt the pull away from the major franchises that have put me in a box and the shift of desire deep inside them” “It’s been uncomfortable and almost unnatural” “But It’s the call of the wild, to the untamed life, the lifestyle of encounter, my voice, and to the fresh beginning again” “It’s the reviving of hearts and the stripping away of the shrouds of religion stealing our childlike passion” “It’s the call back to simple and free” “Simple relationship” “Uncluttered” “Undistracted” “Whole, and no longer scattered, fractured, broken, and battered” OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL “For many are right now leaving the hamster wheel they have been on for years and decades” “They are leaving the cages of building what no longer sounds like me, and their eyes are opening and following my voice again against the multitude of noise from false fathers and Pharisees” “Yes many right now are feeling the pull away to build what is organic and untainted” “They are still in the wrestle of this step because it looks small and insignificant but what starts out small will soon be a movement of epic proportions” “For it will stir up the suppressed hunger and longing of my people and they will recognize that I am no longer moving upon the systems of man” “What they once saw as rebellion they will recognize is a movement of that which is pure” “And my Glory will do the talking as I show up in power and restore a people that have been shipwrecked and tossed around by the seas of culture” DON’T FIGHT IT ANY LONGER “So don’t fight it any longer” “You feel this way because you have responded to my call” “I know you feel naked and raw” “I know you feel unstable and unsure how to step into this fully” “I know you are struggling to see what is ahead but as you surrender daily to the leading of my spirit you will keep choosing what i am building through you” “For this is not only your deliverance but the deliverance of my people who have been put in Ursula’s music box, silenced, tamed, and caged to something she was never meant to be” “It’s time for my Martha church to become Mary again” “Yes, this is a legacy moment for the church” “Her true inheritance awaits. The pure call I gave her and the power and authority she was meant to wield” “So, today I give you permission to rest in me” “To be still” “To untangle yourself from that which brings unnecessary warfare and constant mental bondage”  “I give you permission to go back to grassroots with me” “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” Ezekiel 36:26 “So it will be in that day, that his burden will be removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be broken because of fatness” Isaiah 10:27 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” Isaiah 43:18-19 “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” Isaiah 40:31
