PIONEERS - DON’T BELIEVE THE BAD REPORT - THE WATERS ARE ABOUT TO BREAK!

PIONEERS - DON’T BELIEVE THE BAD REPORT - THE WATERS ARE ABOUT TO BREAK!

PIONEERS - DON’T BELIEVE THE BAD REPORT - THE WATERS ARE ABOUT TO BREAK!

A few days the Lord began speaking to me about pioneers and pioneer families who have been facing impossible obstacles and giants preventing them from advancing.

In a vision I saw waves and rushing river rapids from many different streams all begin to collect like headwaters in a basin and they were swirling but unable to move any further. As I looked closer I saw that there was an obstruction stopping the flow which looked like a dam wall but the waters were too much for the wall and it was beginning to crack. Then I heard the Lord say “The waters are about to break!”

LEGACY, THE GIANTS AT THE GATE, & THE TENSION OF PROMISE

As soon as I heard those words I suddenly looked out at the horizon and could see the assignment that God had given to these pioneers and why their assignment had been so heavily contested. Then I heard these words  “This is over territory, inheritance, and legacy!”

This is why the fight at your doorstep has felt unrelenting and tiresome because what is at stake right now is the destiny of your family as well as the destiny of nations.

This is why the red tape has only tightened its grip, the roadblocks seemed to have multiplied, and the delays have increased to stop your advancement.

This is why the war on your home has hit an all-time high, and you have had to warfare for peace and clarity on a daily basis - because the enemy sees the breakthrough coming to your family line and the promise over your future.

He sees the freedom that has come because of your faith leaps, the new bloodline that has begun, and the anointing that has doubled because of your yes.

Many have come to what feels like an impenetrable stop on every side but this isn’t the end of the story - the hold-up is breaking, the hold-back is breaking, the resistance is wearing down and soon MOVEMENT will come.

So many pioneer families have stepped out into the unknown in faith and have faced assault upon assault, barricades, and obstructions to the promise they were given to the point they have wanted to go back to Egypt.

Many have seen new and terrifying giants emerging and standing at the gates to their life's greatest promises but this is not a moment to retreat or be intimidated! Giants like to camp around your greatest promotions - just keep going!

Many have been saying at this point “Do we turn back around? Do we retrace our steps? Did we miss it?” but over the next few months there are going to be some major reminders of your call and major wins to lift you out of defeat.

In the days to come you will realize that in these moments of standing - LEGACY was created, PROMISES were activated, & the FUTURE for your family was written in stone and you will never go back to the place of limitation and dysfunction you once lived in.

MIGRATION WEARINESS & NOMADS OF PROMISE

Then I saw a vision of these pioneers in a "crossing the red sea" season with their families and they looked tired. It’s been a season of crossing over and leading the way into new territory and this journey between the wilderness and the promise has been long.

“Will we be nomads forever?” Many have been asking because the migratory season has not been as simple or clear as it seemed it would be. “Will we move from place to place forever?”

There are steps and jumps that don’t make sense, cities, locations, and seasons of saying yes that seem to have been in vain. “What did we do that for Lord?” Many have said. “It doesn’t make sense!”

Then I heard the Lord say “Do not say you are nomads because I planned your steps and knew exactly where you needed to be for the time I called you there. Each season was a purpose you still do not see yet but soon you will see how the seasons and scenes connect”

“I sent you there to break new ground and prepare the land for what I was about to do there. You didn’t miss it or fail that assignment but you did exactly what I needed you to”

“But don’t think I did this without your family in mind, but I have been leading you to the place where you will soon put down roots and finally be established. Your pioneering days are not over but soon you will build something that will last generations”

“Your children are going to walk in the fruit of your obedience and then pioneer and build upon what you have created in these years of blind faith”

DELAYED MOVEMENTS & EXTENDED BIRTHING

Then I saw specifically a 3 year season of contractions and pushing that ended in nothing and these pioneers were exhausted and wanting to stop pressing in for the promise.

I saw the books and manuscripts and songs that had been blocked and held back, the creative solutions that were NEEDED for the season we have been in but they came under fire and were never birthed.

But then I heard it again in my spirit “Soon the waters are going to break! The waters are about to break!”

There has been a global demonic assignment of delay sent to stop the move of God in the earth and the movements that pioneers have been carrying from coming into fruition, but right now the waters are breaking!

Yes, this is the right time, the right moment of history, and the right environment to birth movements.. Don’t buy into what you see around you and the news headlines- what God gave you is FOR THIS HOUR!

What you are about to birth and build next is what the enemy is afraid of. He is afraid because it’s been like the collecting of waters, the building of pressure through years of warfare that has brought you to a moment where what you have been carrying has only increased in its potency and is going to do some serious damage to the plans of darkness!

All the attack that has come against you, the words, the assassination, and the lies that told you that you were barren are going to be shown up as God reveals what has been incubating in secret, increasing through your worship. The delay has only increased the size of the harvest.

Where it has looked like a fruitless three years of pressing forward without seeing any progress you will soon see what you have been pioneering in the dark!

Get ready to feel a surge of fresh creativity where it has been blocked and a fresh anointing to build and create, write, plant, and pioneer the new and unseen blueprints from the Lord's heart.

FRESH VISION & THE GOOD REPORT

So many pioneers are right now facing disappointments, red tape, roadblocks, and bad reports on every side. “Which way do we go? We have run out of options?” They have said.

Then the Lord spoke to me “Do they think the bad reports are a match for my goodness? Do they think that the red tape of man's kingdoms overrides mine?”

I then heard Him speak Psalms 33:10-11; “With his breath, he scatters the schemes of nations who oppose him; they will never succeed. His destiny-plan for the earth stands sure. His forever-plan remains in place and will never fail”

“For I have seen the wrong reports they have opened and many have accepted as final, but it is NOT final! I will tear down the schemes and plans of the enemy and break through even the most impossible doors for them to walk through!”

“Watch as I now fight for my faithful ones, my brave pioneers who have given everything to follow me. Watch now as I break open the way where the way has seemed shut. Watch as I overturn the bad reports and breathe my justice and favor into trials against them. Watch as I settle the score and open up what looks locked”

“Even now many have begun to back peddle on their call and reduce their vision because the gates to nations look shut but I haven’t called my pioneers to operate under the constraints of the natural but to the realm of the impossible. So believe me again!”

“I have marked you as my agents of change and breakers for the church, and I have anointed you as diplomats that will have NO STOPS to go where I send you!”

“Expect to see good news once again. It has been a long time of only hearing the thumping feet of giants in the land but now I will remind you who carries the keys of victory!”

“So It’s time to get your vision back. But you have said, “How can I get vision in an unknown season?” By getting your eyes off the problem and back onto the horizon. It’s time to dream with me and let go of the worries you have been carrying”

“This is a time where you will have to fix your eyes on me and nothing else. This is where you have to look out across the seas and attach your faith to that cloud the size of a man's hand”

“This is a time where you will have to prophesy rain when aren’t seeing even a drop. This is a time where you will have to roar into the vacuum until it shifts”

“Pioneers this is when you need to DRINK the most. This is a moment when choosing to lay down in my presence is going to be more fruitful than swinging your sword and receiving my fire over the temptation to put out fires around you”

“Come to the oasis. The depth of revelation you will receive will be proportionate to how much you have filled up with me”

“This is where my voice needs to be the loudest thing you hear and the rhythm of my heart the only thing that gives you purpose every day”

“Now pioneers watch me clear the road for you, refresh you, steady your ground, and ready you for the wide-open spaces ahead!”

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!

The hour of the nameless and faceless has come.
By Nate Johnston June 25, 2025
We are right now in the greatest mind war of our time. The Lord spoke to me recently and said, “I’m coming against the mind-blinding spirit that has come over My people.” You see, right now we’re looking at the potential of World War III between Israel and Iran. We’re also facing the possibility of civil war breaking out in multiple areas of the U.S. over controversial issues. But the real World War III has already begun, and that is the world war of the mind. The spirit of this age has crept in deceptively through fear, culture, and media to hit the Body of Christ from so many angles, for so long, that we have become a people being pillaged and plundered in our minds on a daily basis. Recently, the Lord led me to the scripture in John 11:16 when Jesus was going to return to Jerusalem; “Then Thomas said to the rest of the disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him.’” Thomas, whose name [Didymus] means “twin,” also represents the double-minded. I asked, “Lord, what are you trying to show me?” And He showed me: there is a double-mindedness, a spirit of confusion that has come upon the Church. It’s leading people away from the Gospel, away from the narrow path, and trying to reason the Church out of its calling and destiny, even in the midst of chaos. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that has come against the Church, cloaked in wisdom and common sense, to lead her into deception. It’s leading the Church away from truth under the guise of love, tolerance, and acceptance. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that speaks fear, gloom, and doom over these times when we are called to speak hope and redemption, and lead the Church into her greatest days. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that says, “Your greatest days are over,” simply because we’re in a season of storms and battles. It’s trying to shut down the Church and make her powerless, when this is a time we are called to wield the power of the Holy Spirit. This spirit is trying to lead the Church into a false sense of safety, when we are meant to be called into discomfort to see the greatest move of God hit the earth. This mind-blinding spirit has created a chatter of witchcraft. It has warred against believers, created factions, and caused us to rise up against one another, tearing each other down. It’s created confusion to such a degree that many are coming into agreement with the accuser of the brethren, with the enemy, on many fronts. But this is not the heart of the Lord. The Lord said to me, “I am warring against this spirit right now.” There is a war, and the Lord is actively warring against the mind-blinding spirit. I believe He is saying over us: He’s bringing us back into peace and clarity. He’s bringing us back into oneness, into single-mindedness. It says in Matthew 6:22: “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy [single], your whole body will be full of light.” This reminds me of when Elisha’s servant was gripped by fear because he could not see what was really happening in the spirit. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha (2 Kings 6:16–17). This is our prayer today: Lord, open our eyes! We must see what’s happening spiritually and naturally. We must stop interpreting life from the ground level and begin to see from the throne room. The blindfolds are being removed. The fog is lifting. It’s time to come out of earthly thinking. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians 2:6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” We are not victims of the news; we are the watchmen of the hour, the voices that declare from the heights what God is doing in the valleys. Right now, the Lord is delivering the Church. He’s going to use situations around us to deliver us from our own deception where we have partnered with the enemy, with the accuser, with fear, with compromise, with lukewarmness, and with false wisdom. So even now, if you’ve felt like you’ve come under torment, confusion, or compromise, if you feel the weight of heaviness, and it’s brought conflict or distance between you and the Lord, and the pure call on your life, reject it now. Renounce it. Tear up any vows or agreements you’ve made with it. Lay your hands upon your head and pray: “Lord, as an act of my will, I come out of double-mindedness. I repent for double-mindedness. Deliver me from witchcraft, from chatter, and from this mind-blinding spirit and its assignment. I rebuke it now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that my dreams will be restored. My visions will be restored. Revelation will be restored. I come back into sync with Heaven, with hope, and I will see clearly in the days ahead.” Because the real war, the real purpose behind this battle, is that the enemy knows if the Church is blind, we will be unable to see in this critical hour. We will be walking with blindfolds when we are called to see, declare, and prophesy what God is doing in the midst of so much unrest and chaos. We are the news, my friends. We are the beacons of hope, the bell ringers of a new day. No matter what’s going on in the world, we carry hope, strategy, and redemption. Step back into clarity and peace in the name of Jesus. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” — 2 Corinthians 4:4

Christy and I have this saying: that after a day, a week, or a season of warfare, watch because suddenly the snake’s head is revealed. It’s happened like clockwork over the years, where after intense seasons of warfare, or even just a crazy day of warfare, like clockwork, the next day or in a short period of time, the snake’s head would be revealed. It might be that email that comes in, revealing what’s been spoken about you. It might be that intimidation, that threat. Whatever it may be, it’s the snake’s head revealing itself. And it reveals that the enemy has been warring against you. And why? I say that to get to this point. I believe we’ve been in a window of time of tests, trials, and warfare. When we stepped into January 2025, I felt it: it was going to be a faith test. It was going to be a test of whether I’d stick out my calling, stick to the plan, whether I would stay on mission, the one God gave me. Whether I would remain strong, or crumble and fall. Because you see, there’s been an attack against believers since January that has been on another level. And that attack has been designed to surround you on every single side until you crumble. It’s like when Jesus was led into the wilderness and had to battle in His mind, to combat the enemy’s tactics over and over. We’ve been in a season where the enemy’s been relentlessly trying to give us easy way outs, second options, off-ramps at every turn, trying to get us to back out of the call of God, choose the easy thing, or create Ishmaels along the way. Have you felt this? The warfare has been intense. The shadow has increased. The slander has increased. Robbery has come from every single side. Health issues. Bank accounts depleted. Doors shutting. It has been relentless. Yet at the same time, I believe God wants to see what we would do in this moment because He knows what’s coming. It’s been a Romans 8:18 moment, where we’ve seen a whole new level of pain, but it’s going to be followed by glory. So, what I want to share with you is what I believe God is doing from July onwards. In Luke 4:14, it says, “that after He came out of the wilderness, He returned in the power of the Spirit.” I believe that as we step into July, we’re about to see the glory revealed in the very areas where there’s been robbery. We’re about to see the glory revealed in the very places that were tests. We are coming out of that place. And you might be thinking, “Well, this doesn’t make sense. The world’s in chaos. Things are going crazy.” Yes, those things will continue. But I’m speaking to you as a believer about what God is doing in your life, and in the life of the Church. I believe we are entering a shift. A turning of the tide. I believe that starting in July, we’re turning a spiritual corner. For those who have said, “Okay, God, I’m not going to fight against You. I’m not going to resist this process, because in it, there’s protection. In it, You’ve been breaking me out of comforts, breaking me out of mindsets and mentalities I’ve carried, that only warfare could have confronted.” I believe we’re now beginning to see the glory that He has been wanting to reveal and showcase in our lives this whole time. I believe the next six months will be a strange contradiction. I believe in the next six months things will look wild and chaotic in the natural. We’re going to see things happen and erupt in the financial markets and on the world stage. Things will continue to intensify and look debilitating, even hopeless. Yet the strange contradiction will be this: somehow, you’ll feel like your role has flipped. Whereas before, you felt safer in the natural while everything was falling apart spiritually, now it’s like the reverse. You’ll feel an internal strength and clarity in the Spirit, even while the world’s systems shake around you. God is beginning to reveal Himself on your behalf. I believe we’re in a massive turnaround season for those who will reach out and say, “Yes, okay, God.” There is going to be a massive turnaround financially for the Church. We are entering into days where God is bringing in a billion-soul harvest. Things are ripening. Revival is breaking out in messy ways, but glorious ways. And in these next six months, the Lord is declaring over you: You’re turning a corner. You’re going to see the glory now. Where you’ve seen shaking, where you’ve seen suffering, you will now experience My goodness, My mercy, My favor. It’s the Psalm 23 moment where the Lord seats you at the table in the presence of your enemies and anoints your head with oil. So get ready, Body of Christ, because we are entering into the days of the great contradiction. The shaking will continue, but now it will begin to reveal the glory in your life. These are the days of leaving the wilderness endued with power. And just like I said at the beginning, watch for the snake’s head. Because in this moment, God is not just exposing it, He’s empowering you to crush it. The very thing that’s come after you is about to be under your feet. The warfare has been real, the pressure has been intense, but now comes the revealing. The snake’s head is exposed, and it will not have the final word. You will.
