PROPHESYING THE BREAKING OF CHATTER, CLEARING OF THE AIRWAVES, & THE WAVE OF VICTORY

PROPHESYING THE BREAKING OF CHATTER, CLEARING OF THE AIRWAVES, & THE WAVE OF VICTORY

In the last week, I have felt the Lord’s call to His prophetic army to arise and assemble, shake off the dust of the onslaught, and press into what God is doing because many have been lost in the swirl, caught up in the fight, and have lost their focus and purpose. I have been sensing the mental warfare that has slowly begun to take the sword out of the mouths out of the prophets and send them into defeat and deep discouragement. I have sensed that so many of those on the frontlines have been coming up against unfathomable opposition, words, and accusations, and slander that has reaped chaos in homes, marriages, and relationships. In the midst of all of those God gave me two dreams I want to share. If you are needing prayer to break this demonic agenda and take back the airwaves, your ground, get peace and clarity again, and step back into the current of the outpouring of the spirit then this word is for you.

THE DREAM OF THE 2 ND HEAVEN BATTLE

Last week I had a dream where I was witnessing a 2 nd heaven battle that was horrific. It was a battle not of two sides but a battle involving many different armies all colliding in a bloodied battle of ideals, opinions, and beliefs. What shocked me was that I could distinguish that some of these armies were believers that had become caught up in the wrong fight and were battling in the same way that the world was. As I was watching this scene I could sense that this was the fruit of the mainstream media and the demonic principality behind it mass hysteria and onslaught. The battle was causing a flood of witchcraft to permeate the airwaves and release a global cloud of confusion and haziness that was blocking the heavens in sense. When I woke up I felt a deep travail for the church and began to prophesy “THE WITCHCRAFT NEEDS TO STOP NOW IN JESUS NAME!” and then I logged into my social media accounts and started prophesying this over every platform, then over the world news stations.

In the confusion and chatter the enemy has stirred up the righteous to pick up the stones meant to be hurled at the giants of our day, but instead, the church has picked up these stones and started hurling them at each other. We must get our eyes off the diversion right now because it is a trap of the enemy so that we don’t take up our posts and take down the giants that are blocking, defying, and trying to prevent the church from seeing the breakthroughs and move of the spirit that we have been prophesying we will see. We have been the laughing stock because we have forgotten who the real enemy is. We have become so consumed with the political and culture war that we have stepped onto the battlefield and out of the place of effective intercession and prayer.

LOST IN THE CHATTER & SHIPWRECKED ON A FALSE NARRATIVE

As I was prophesying I could see the swirl in the spirit. It was messy and a spiritual conflict just like my dream where the enemy had roused up fear, anger, and hate and caused people and groups to fight against one another on another level. This year there has been so much witchcraft swirling because of this and so many that have been feeling the effects of the chatter and it’s beginning to take its toll. Deep discouragement and defeat, confusion, grief, fear and bombarding mental warfare, headaches, and wanting to give up. People have become so caught up in the enemy's narrative and have forgotten or not known what the script of heaven is for this hour, and become shipwrecked and lost in the swirl and confusion of the storm. But Holy Spirit is going to clear that today. I pray over you, your home, and the nations that the witchcraft stops now in Jesus' name!

“But I promise you, no weapon meant to hurt you will succeed, and you will refute every accusing word spoken against you. This promise is the inheritance of Yahweh’s servants, and their vindication is from me,” says Yahweh” Isaiah 54:17

MEDIA WARFARE, THE SHIFT OF POWER, & THE RISING MEDIA ARMY

As I continued to prophesy I saw that there was coming to a shift to the media mountain.. I saw the eyes of the Lord staring at the media of the world and His eyes burned with a Holy Justice and I knew it was a reckoning day for the media of the world that has lied, twisted, and skewed the truth for far too long. In the absence of the prophetic office taking up their place and influence in governing the airwaves, the counterfeit prophetic has been occupying it. The leviathan, twisting spirit, and jezebel have been lording it over the earth and releasing deception, lies, and demonic propaganda to champion the enemy's causes. It has blinded generations and people groups for far too long but right now God is raising up a prophetic remnant who will take back their birthright.

The phrase that keeps bubbling forth from my spirit all year has been “We must be the new media!” which is timely since we are in the year of the roar, and the decade of the prophetic revolution. There is a Davidic people that are stepping up right now that sound different to what we have been hearing – they are not party prophets but KINGDOM voices. They will be the radical and confronting voice of TRUTH in an age of smoke and mirrors and restore the word of the Lord to the land that has been dry and cracked from the lack of oil and revival rain. They won’t bow down to the cultural kings and gods to appease people for the sake of being alienated or attacked, and they won’t use the arrows of the enemy to fight their fights either. They will be the revolution of clear kingdom voices that EXPOSES deception and points the church and world back to Jesus.

THE 3 rd HEAVEN STRATEGY & THE CLEARING OF THE AIRWAVES

“He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!” Ephesians 2:6

As I continued to prophesy I heard a line from the old 90’s song by Bittersweet Symphony: “But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now” and I knew that the Lord was speaking that the airwaves needed to be cleared and cleaned by the SOUND and SONG of the David generation, the worshippers, intercessors, and watchmen who would dare to RISE UP OUT of the 2 nd heaven warfare and into the place of speaking into what God was doing. The media of the world literally operates in the same spiritual realm as the place where angels and demons war -  the second heavens. The word media comes from the word “medium” which means “middle layer” or “middle place” which is the second heavens, but we as the body of Christ cannot operate from the same realm but instead, we must come up higher and release the word of the Lord from our jurisdiction and position “In heavenly places”. That is the place where God is calling us as the church to and WE MUST ASCEND right now if we are going to see the shift we have been wanting to see.

We strategy is simple, we can’t keep wrestling flesh and blood but we must get out of the distraction and counterfeit fight and come up higher and worship, prophesy, and pray in the heart of God into the earth. It is only when we come up higher that we will see what God is doing and not just the chaos the enemy is wreaking on the earth. We must hear and release the solutions of heaven! Let the pure voices arise, clear the air, and reveal the heart of our king in this chaotic time. #wearethenewmedia

“After this, I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1

THE WAVE OF RECOVERY & THE HORN-BLAST OF VICTORY

In my second dream, I was in a house that backed onto the ocean that had these massive 20 ft high glass windows that could see out to the sea. As I looked out I could see that there was a torrential storm taking place and the ocean was choppy and waves were crashing up onto the house and the surrounding coastline. Suddenly Lou Engle appears next to me and he and I start looking out towards the sea and he says “Can you see it?” so I look and I can see that beyond the storm at the back near the horizon there is a massive tsunami wave building and about to crest. The wave wasn’t just a wave of revival and outpouring but it was a wave of justice, redemption, recovery, and the secured victory. It was coming as the answer for the blood of the unborn that has been crying out, the reconciliation of racial injustices, trafficking and the hidden evils that have been hiding in plain sight, and for the blood of Jesus to wash our land. It was the wave that has been contended for generations to see America return to its roots and the nations to the feet of Jesus. Both of us then begin to speak and prophesy to this wave for what seemed like hours and we were cheering on what God was doing and soon lost sight of the storm that kept blowing and swirling outside. Then what happened next was very strange yet significant, but I told Lou that I needed to hold up his arms as a prophetic act as they did for Moses in Exodus 17:12. He agreed and I struggled at first because his arms were so heavy, but as I did a fresh anointing and strength cane upon Lou who suddenly began to prophesy and released a sound that sounded like a horn blast.

The significance of this dream are these points:

  • The house represents the 3rd heaven posture and place of prophetic revelation that can see past the storm and the window represents clear revelation that comes by being in that place.
  • The storm and waves represent the 2 nd heaven storm and the counterfeit movements and distraction trying to get our eyes off what God is doing. It is the old wave that we have to let go of to see the new.
  • Lou Engle represents the global prayer and intercession movement but especially right now the prayer movement for America in this hour.
  • The wave is a wave of healing, justice, redemption, and the returning of the nation of America and the nations to the feet of Jesus. It is the prophesied wave of harvest. This wave is also the undoing of the enemy's plans and every foothold he has had in secret hidden places. The wave is coming to unearth and wash away the counterfeit.
  • Lou’s prayer and intercession over the wave speak of the call to pray and contend like midwives for what God is doing and about to do. The show isn’t over, it's about to begin.
  • Holding up Lou’s arms spoke to me of the joining of the rivers and unity needed right now to pray In what God is doing as well as the synergy of the generations  -  sons, and daughters holding up the arms of the generals and their weighty global visions that are shifting the course of the nations as we speak.
  • It was Aaron and Hur who lifted up Moses arms in Exodus 17:12: Aaron means “mountain of strength” or “high place” and Hur means “Liberty” and “burning one”, which speaks of a generation of presence dwellers and freedom carrying burning ones who will shoulder the load of the fathers in this season and see the promised breakthrough come to pass.
  • The enemy Moses was fighting against in Exodus 17:12 were the Amalekites which represented the spiritual principality that “twisted and wrung” just as the principality of the media does.
  • The horn blast represents the blast of victory, the blast of the announcing the wave, but also the blast of the call to war, and right now that is the call of the hour for the church at this time.

WE MUST KEEP OUR EYES ON THE WAVE, STAND FIRM, & FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS!

“Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again” Exodus 14:13

So let me call you forthright now out of the noise and the distraction, witchcraft, muzzling, chaos, distraction, mind bombardment, and into your position and place on the frontlines as a the new prophetic media army who will STAND FIRM & NOT CHANGE THE SUBJECT or be moved by what we see or hear. I prophesy right now for the peace of God to hit you like a freight train, for every bit of noise, chatter, and confusion of the diversion to be cleared, and for you to see beyond the swirl to the move of the spirit about to crash over the nations. I prophesy you are coming out from under the weight of heaviness and weariness and tapping into the easy yoke and potency of your mantle. You are stepping out of the ring where you have been shadow boxing the enemy with every distraction and argument that comes to your door and stepping into your Davidic anointing to take down the giants and strongholds around you and step into the 3rd heaven current of His glory so you can see the ideas, strategies, and blueprints of heaven and speak them forth in Jesus name!  We must look beyond the storm because the wave is coming!!

THE DREAM OF THE THREE COINS

By Nate Johnston • 08 May, 2024
I've had the same dream consecutively for the last three nights in a row, and I believe this dream is the Lord speaking about what He is about to pour out upon the body of Christ in this next season. Before I share the dream, I need to speak about the season that we have been in. It's what I have called a spiritual and natural recession. Since 2020, there has been an assignment or recession constantly trying to make the church back peddle on faith amidst so much shaking. It's the season where finances have felt tighter because the enemy is anticipating this great wealth transfer that he dreads coming to the church. That's why financial systems have been shaken, interest rates have skyrocketed, and people have gone into survival mode. Yes, the enemy has been afraid that the church will not be able to build the infrastructure for the years to come. He has tried to bring back a poverty mindset upon the body of Christ and a hope-deferred spirit to cause us to feel deeply let down by God and doubt His promises. This is why we have seen a great delay in promised provisions, breakthroughs, and plans. It's where many have had an endless assault on their bank accounts and things that used to flourish in past seasons. This is why it has felt that things have been falling to the ground and failing, and many of your plans and ideas have been shipwrecked, and you have not seen them flourish as you used to in years past. But I feel even before I share my dream, I need to say to you - this is all changing. We've been in a season that has felt like recession, and the news is only backing up this fear agenda, but just as we are on the cusp of what the world is saying is going to be another great depression, the Lord says today that you are going to experience my EXPANSION! GO TO THE RIVER! Now, let me share the dream. In the dream, I am simply told that I must go to the mouth of a river and catch a fish. As I catch this fish and bring it in, I open up its mouth, and there are three gold coins inside. On the first coin, it says DEBT. On the second coin, it says SOW. On the third coin, it says BUILD. Do you remember the story of when Jesus owed taxes and what He told Peter to do? "But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth, and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." - Matthew 17:27 I believe this dream was shown to me three times because three represents restoration and fullness. When Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus restored him three times by saying, "Feed my sheep!" I believe this dream is speaking into a season of such endless provision in those three areas - debt repayment, Sowing, and Building. We are about to see a season of the repayment of debts that is not just the debts that you owe, or that God wants to wipe clear, but the debts that people owe you. We are coming into a time where the Lord is repaying that which the locust ate in your life. You have lived in such a deficit and been living in a deficit mindset constantly - always under and never above, but the Lord is coming to repay that which has been stolen and robbed from you for many seasons past. And where you've been living stewarding debt, the Lord wants to switch that so that you are beginning to steward the endless resources of the Kingdom. Regarding the second coin, The scripture that came to mind was Ecclesiastes 11:1; "Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days." I believe we're entering into a time again when the Lord is restoring the joy of sowing. He's restoring the principle of sowing and the joy of sowing where many have felt like they've been in that survival mode and being unable to give, or even just being afraid of giving because of endless hardship and financial assault. The Lord is demolishing that mindset, and he's releasing joy upon the body of Christ to be the sowers and givers that we are called to be. I believe this is a promise that we're stepping into a time of great sowing where the Lord doesn't want us to be given wealth for the sake of hoarding it up, but for the sake of being a river, a flow-through, whereas He gives into us, we continue to release that finance through us and to those around us. We begin to help others build their dreams, build the things that God has given them, rather than just building what we have been given. We are entering a time where the world will look to us because we will be flourishing like a Goshen in the midst of so much ruin in man's systems on earth. THIRD COIN - BUILD Regarding the third coin, Many have been saying for a long time, "God, how do I build when I don't have the resources to build?" And so, for many years, people have been contending; they've been bringing the plots of land before their eyes. They've been printing out their vision and praying over it. But over the last year, I've noticed that people have begun to grow weary because it's like, "God, you've given us a massive vision, but we don't even have 1% of the finances to be able to build this vision!" It has felt like a deep cloud of discouragement and soul sickness has hit many because the enemy has been delaying these plans for so long now. It's begun to feel like a pie in the sky. It's begun to think like fool's gold. People have begun to get despondent and frustrated. There have been people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods, and in the midst of that, it almost feels like a cruel joke to have to believe in the promises of God for a big vision when you're barely surviving in some of these other areas. But I believe this dream is speaking that the Lord is about to release the resources to build. He's releasing the provision to finally build what He has given us. But today, the Lord says, "Get ready, the body of Christ, because you've been in survival mode for a long time. You've been in a time where you've had to manage and juggle and shuffle. "But I'm leading you out of that limited place into a time of a great reset of finances and provision of mindsets, and in your heart where you've grown hope deferred, you're about to build and see that which I've given you to build, get ready body of Christ, get ready body, get ready!" it's time to go down to the river. It's time to pick out the gold coins from the fish's mouth. And it's time to see a new era of provision come to your house in Jesus' name.

FOR THOSE ASKING "WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?"

By Nate Johnston • 01 May, 2024
This is burning in my spirit to share for those who have felt stuck or put on hold especially in the last 4 months. It seems like you are back in waiting but aren’t sure what for. You feel like you have been on a wild-goose chase that has suddenly shipwrecked you in “no mans land”. It feels like you have been robbed of your vehicle - your purpose. Like you have been pulled over and forced out. You feel like you have ended up in a situation that looks nothing like what you envisioned, grieving what makes you come alive but is now out of reach. Looking behind you it feels like your best days are over like you hit your peak - but you haven’t even seen your best days yet. I saw the word I NTERRUPTION being crossed out and in bright red the word LEGACY was written over it. None of this is an accident - where you are right now is a setup. THE UNEXPECTED PATH None of this was a mistake. Your unusual path. The detour. The treasure hunt and blind faith journey. It wasn’t a tease. It was designed to go somewhere you couldn’t have found on your own. You wouldn’t have chosen the mess and the unknown, the struggles and wrestles, pressing and crushing - and you also wouldn’t have seen what was waiting for you at the end of this. But now your heart needs to adjust to the new landscape. The new thing that you didn’t expect or envision. It’s not settling - Its surrender. It’s not giving up - it’s finally moving with the new flow and accepting the new script. ADDRESSING THE LIES The lie of failure has shut down your creativity and confidence. It’s made you drop your sword and begin to bargain your way out. The lie of being abandoned has questioned your first call and whether you heard God at all. No, you didn’t miss it. The lie of “this is as good as it’s going to get” has made you begin to settle for second best and make your bed in the valley but you are moving through! THE SEED FALLING TO THE GROUND Many have been in an extreme 4 months of what has felt like a “falling to the ground season” where it has felt like everything they once held has had to be laid down. “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds” - John 12:24 I heard the Lord say “If my people don’t lay down what they are holding how can they pick up what I am giving them next?” It feels painful to let go of a dream or expectation you built your life around but God isn’t taking it from you to hurt you but to ADD TO IT! God wants to multiply you! Have you been fighting it? The enemy has. He wants you to stay in the same place you have been. He wants you to hold onto the old seeds that have worn around your neck like a necklace, but if you don’t let them go they will become like a lead weight! As quickly as you lean into surrender God will pour out what he wants to give you. This refining and shaking moment is protection and promotion. It’s advancement and the breaking of apathy. It’s the pure ointment clearing away the old husks of an old season. ENTER THE RESURRECTION! I then heard the Lord say “I am resurrecting my people!” and then I saw the 4 winds of the Spirit whirling and could see the purpose behind this process - God has been seeing his people in bondage, trauma, and constant conflict with the enemy and so He sent us through the fire to DELIVER US! What emerges from this furnace now is going to be so potent. New movements, ministries, messages, and voices. New synergy, partnerships, family, and tribe. Watch what and who leaves the tomb in this season. Watch who comes out of complete disablement with a fresh sound and voice for this season. “In the midst of fiery hot trials, persecution, shaking, opposition, and warfare, heavyweight ministries and movements are emerging and birthing. This is far from a “stuck” or “decrease” season for those who have held onto the hem of Jesus garment. This is where we see the cross outwork powerfully in crisis” “He must increase, but I must decrease” - John 3:30 God didn’t cast you off or send you into isolation - He is REFORMING you and readying you for the next chapter of this pioneering adventure! THE NEXT SIX MONTHS The six months from now til September (Rosh Hashanah) are going to be WAY OPENING months. New direction and coordinates are coming where there has been only roadblocks and no options. New blueprints and fresh vision for the days ahead are coming. Old wineskins will keep falling away. Powerless seeker sensitive Christianity will keep losing its grip and fiery red hot believers will emerge to lead the way forward. Veils of religion and fear are going to drop off the ears and eyes of Gods people so we can see this season clearly and embrace and seize it instead of running and hiding. We won’t fall for the lies of false prophet media. Regardless of what we hear on the news or see in some circumstances. God is tapping us into the newsroom of heaven to see beyond the storm. We are going to shake off the death of this past season and begin to live through the glasses of hope and the victory of the finished work of the cross again. Foundations will keep shaking as God reveals the true rock to build upon on. Structures on sand won’t survive this season. We are coming back to what matters and shedding the weight of every thing that has cluttered us and held us in bondage. We are going to resurrected seeds multiplied. We are going to increased anointing on those who have walked through this shaking season and kept their eyes on the Lord. Jesus is taking center place again in the church. We will see the broken merchant tables of the old expired movements begin to make way for the oil lamps of the burning ones. We are entering an extremely high revelatory season - and Jesus will share this heart with his friends. We are stepping out of defeat and into strategic alignment to hear the counsel of the lord and action it. The Josephs will make themselves known with practical insight of how to plan and prepare and build. We are entering a season of visitation that turns the hearts of the cold back to the Lord. Families that have even under fire will begin to see their broken foundations rebuilt and God is bringing joy and recompense to those who have suffered loss and sowed in tears. And Jesus gets all the glory.

It's time to pick out the gold coins from the fish's mouth. And it's time to see a new era of provision come to your house in Jesus' name.

The lie of “this is as good as it’s going to get” has made you begin to settle for second best and make your bed in the valley but you are moving through! THE SEED FALLING TO THE GROUND Many have been in an extreme 4 months of what has felt like a “falling to the ground season” where it has felt like everything they once held has had to be laid down. “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds” - John 12:24 I heard the Lord say “If my people don’t lay down what they are holding how can they pick up what I am giving them next?” It feels painful to let go of a dream or expectation you built your life around but God isn’t taking it from you to hurt you but to ADD TO IT! God wants to multiply you! Have you been fighting it? The enemy has. He wants you to stay in the same place you have been. He wants you to hold onto the old seeds that have worn around your neck like a necklace, but if you don’t let them go they will become like a lead weight! As quickly as you lean into surrender God will pour out what he wants to give you. This refining and shaking moment is protection and promotion. It’s advancement and the breaking of apathy. It’s the pure ointment clearing away the old husks of an old season. ENTER THE RESURRECTION! I then heard the Lord say “I am resurrecting my people!” and then I saw the 4 winds of the Spirit whirling and could see the purpose behind this process - God has been seeing his people in bondage, trauma, and constant conflict with the enemy and so He sent us through the fire to DELIVER US! What emerges from this furnace now is going to be so potent. New movements, ministries, messages, and voices. New synergy, partnerships, family, and tribe. Watch what and who leaves the tomb in this season. Watch who comes out of complete disablement with a fresh sound and voice for this season. “In the midst of fiery hot trials, persecution, shaking, opposition, and warfare, heavyweight ministries and movements are emerging and birthing. This is far from a “stuck” or “decrease” season for those who have held onto the hem of Jesus garment. This is where we see the cross outwork powerfully in crisis” “He must increase, but I must decrease” - John 3:30 God didn’t cast you off or send you into isolation - He is REFORMING you and readying you for the next chapter of this pioneering adventure! THE NEXT SIX MONTHS The six months from now til September (Rosh Hashanah) are going to be WAY OPENING months. New direction and coordinates are coming where there has been only roadblocks and no options. New blueprints and fresh vision for the days ahead are coming. Old wineskins will keep falling away. Powerless seeker sensitive Christianity will keep losing its grip and fiery red hot believers will emerge to lead the way forward. Veils of religion and fear are going to drop off the ears and eyes of Gods people so we can see this season clearly and embrace and seize it instead of running and hiding. We won’t fall for the lies of false prophet media. Regardless of what we hear on the news or see in some circumstances. God is tapping us into the newsroom of heaven to see beyond the storm. We are going to shake off the death of this past season and begin to live through the glasses of hope and the victory of the finished work of the cross again. Foundations will keep shaking as God reveals the true rock to build upon on. Structures on sand won’t survive this season. We are coming back to what matters and shedding the weight of every thing that has cluttered us and held us in bondage. We are going to resurrected seeds multiplied. We are going to increased anointing on those who have walked through this shaking season and kept their eyes on the Lord. Jesus is taking center place again in the church. We will see the broken merchant tables of the old expired movements begin to make way for the oil lamps of the burning ones. We are entering an extremely high revelatory season - and Jesus will share this heart with his friends. We are stepping out of defeat and into strategic alignment to hear the counsel of the lord and action it. The Josephs will make themselves known with practical insight of how to plan and prepare and build. We are entering a season of visitation that turns the hearts of the cold back to the Lord. Families that have even under fire will begin to see their broken foundations rebuilt and God is bringing joy and recompense to those who have suffered loss and sowed in tears. And Jesus gets all the glory.

TO ALL OF YOU FACING GIANTS THIS WEEK

By Nate Johnston • 01 May, 2024
To all of you facing giants this week: As I was praying I heard the Lord say “This is a moment to REMEMBER a what I have said and what I have done” “This is a moment to remind yourself of the breakthroughs you have seen and the impossibilities I demolished in front of you” “This is a time to find your greatest trials that you saw me move in and anchor yourself to that testimony that I will do once again” “This is a time to dig up the words spoken and prophesied over you and go to war with them, arm yourself with them, and stir up your faith to see them come to pass” “I know it’s hard to get your hopes up right now, and it’s been so long since you have seen opposition budge but you are about to see mountains move!” “Cut off the sources of fear, and stop listening to the giants trying to talk you out of your inheritance because soon they will be gone and you’ll hold the keys to the land” “Reject the lies and the failure, and ask yourself; who is fighting for you? Who wages war with you? Who is by your side? Who will never let you do this alone? That’s right, I am with you” “So this week raise up a shout and press into my presence. Lift up your sword and pierce the thick air with your cry, because your worship is going to disarm the warfare and unlock the gates” “The giants in the land are no match for my power and anointing I have given to you. So shake off the defeat and feeling powerless because you have the same power in you that resurrected Jesus from the grave” Let every obstacle, principality, roadblock, and demonic assignment shake in their boots as you March into this week with your hopes up and your sword raised high... we are going to see VICTORIES for the battle belongs to the Lord! “I will sing of you, the one who gives victory to kings— the one who rescues David, your loving servant, from the fatal sword” - Psalm 144:10 “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s” - 2 Chronicles 20:15 

FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING “PEOPLE FATIGUE”

By Nate Johnston • 28 Apr, 2024
Many are right now experiencing “People fatigue” which is the bewildering burnout after long seasons of being used, manipulated, and pulled in every direction by people for extended periods of time. People fatigue is the result of being constantly coerced and controlled, told what you should and shouldn’t do, being pulled into drama and situations there was no grace on, and/or worn down by people who keep overriding boundaries, and then gaslighting you when you confront it. People fatigue comes to the surface when you realize that you are either bitter and resentful at any level of relationship or involvement with others, overly wary, cynical of all people, or are noticing yourself hiding and retreating. Other signs are anxiety at gatherings or events, scrolling through social media, and anger/frustration seeing others in healthy relationships. If this is you, it’s because the enemy wants you to never find family and genuine covenant relationships. In fact, I believe it’s one of the enemies tactics to isolate you further after you have already come out of a long wilderness, sending you back into obscurity and a Lone Ranger lifestyle. If he can cause you to fear people or have you attempt to do kingdom without people, then he knows he has won in keeping your calling at bay. But let’s go one step further. People fatigue at the surface is people burnout but underneath it’s a triggered area of soul trauma that is rooted in feeling abandoned or used by God. What? How does that work? Let me explain; Think of a pastor who knows his job is to look after his flock. He gives his life to that congregation often at the expense of his family and own wellbeing. Then one day he crashes hard with a moral failure or just mentally/emotionally. Who does he feel let down by? People? Not necessarily. He feels let down by God. “Why did you call me to something I couldn’t keep up with?” He says. But the issue isn’t that God overloaded us, but that religion did. We did. Hang on, how were we part of the problem? It’s easy for us to accidentally slip into the role of fixer when we are in ministry or doing kingdom because we see the great need and think that if we don’t do it, who will right? Before too long we have been spread thin, see the warning signs, but often don’t stop until we have become completely shipwrecked. Is this where you are? Are you in people fatigue? The first step, is dealing with your heart towards the Lord. Ask Him to show you what He called you to without all of the extra baggage and hats that he didn’t tell you to wear. Make the clear distinction between that which He called you to and the over bearing religious burden you have taken on. Also, ask Him to heal and restore your heart from the weariness of the last season. Secondly, deal with any areas of people pleasing in your heart that keeps you in bondage to people or feeling like you owe everyone your time and energy. Is there a reason you keep getting to a place of burnout? Ask the Lord to show you. Thirdly, forgive people who have worn you down and whether knowingly or unknowingly, used you over and over. Maybe you also need to forgive people who have promised things or said things but haven’t delivered. And lastly create some boundaries. Write out a list of rules for yourself of how to effectively do relationships. How can you be in connection to others and a community of people where you feel valued, can pour into them but not feel like you get drained of everything? How do you interact without getting pulled on in an unhealthy way? Decide to up your communication game and value yourself more. You are not being unloving or mean by stating your boundary lines. LAST THOUGHTS Learning to trust people again is a big deal and can be easier said than done but it’s worth fighting to achieve. There are aspects of God we don’t get to experience without community and a close knit group of people to run with. This doesn’t mean we have to open up the floodgates of our hearts to everyone either. In fact, we need more discernment in the days to come and need to know who we are meant to do covenant relationship with and it’s not everyone. One other source of people fatigue are those in “wrong companies” or yoked to people or leaders who are using them to do their bidding. You keep wondering why you are depleted in every way when you are “serving the man of God” but it’s because you are being used. It’s time to break those yokes and as you do you’ll start to be healed and get refreshed again. Some people attract drama and by being in the pig pen with them you keep getting their mud on you. Leave it! Shut the door! “Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way” — Isaiah 35:3
