PROPHETIC INVITATION & COMMISSIONING of throne-room dwellers– “COME UP HERE!”

PROPHETIC INVITATION & COMMISSIONING of throne-room dwellers– “COME UP HERE!”

(Prophetic word that came forth through worship broadcast)

I woke up last week in the middle of the night to hearing the Lord just whisper to me and He said “Nate, come up higher, come up here.” I said, “Lord, where do you want me to come? Here I am.” and I felt like Samuel sitting in the temple. I was just sitting there waiting on his voice and He was like “Nate, come up here” and I sat there in the dark, just waiting and just sitting in his presence and then He said to me, “Where are those who would live from my throne room?”

I woke up again at 3:30am the next morning and the Lord said to me “Nate, I want you to get on the keys and I want you to release a word prophetically from my throne room” and I felt the weightiness and He was telling me “Nate this is a change of seasons and a change of season comes with a new song and I want you to call forth the song that is inside of every believer and I want you to call forth that sound and that song”.

DELIVERANCE IN THE ASCENSION

I believe this is a commissioning of a generation that will come to the throne room. This is a commissioning for those to come up and leave things behind. This is a moment of breakthrough for many people who have been struggling on not knowing how to leave things behind. There is something fresh that He is mantling you with and He is taking every burden off your back.

See, when you go through seasons where circumstances are screaming at you and everything around you wants your attention and the world is going crazy and there are distractions on every turn; in the middle of that, the Lord is saying “who will be the ones who will ascend the mountain? Who will be the ones who will live from Mount Zion in the middle of the noise, in the middle of chaos, in the middle of the storm, in the middle of the fight, in the middle of a wilderness that does not seem to end; who will be the ones who will continue to ascend?

HERE COME THE THRONE-ROOM DWELLERS!

Who will be the ones who hunger and crave after my voice more than anything, more than any desire, more than their next breath? Who will be those ones who will carry my fire? Who will be the ones that want to hear my voice more than they even want to be heard? Who will be the ones that want to minister unto me more than they need to be validated and approved? Who will be those ones that will come and minister unto the Lord?

“For I am raising up my faithful priests saith the Lord and there’s a generation that will lay down in my Glory”

It’s a generation that is not satisfied with sitting in in the outer courts, but they want to live from the throne room. It’s not a generation that says, “I’m a Christian,” It’s not a generation that says, “I know the name of Jesus” but don’t actually know the man, don’t know the King, don’t know the one who is in pursuit of their heart.

But the Lord says that “This is a change in season and I am igniting their hearts and I am calling them, just like Samuel; my throne room dwellers and they’re going to come and they’re going to fill my throne room with the fragrance of worship and praise that will spill into the earth and it’s going to ignite even the things that have been spoken and decreed over regions and cities and nations”

And I hear the Lord say that there’s a toppling over. There is a bowl beginning to pour as these people come. The Lord says “As they ascend, there is the pouring of my bowl. There’s a pouring out of my Glory that is going to fill the earth. Where are those who will be more conscious of the heavenly realities above than what is on them? Who are those?” God is calling you higher today.

When did we make the kingdom palatable? When did we make it governed by natural means and limitations? We live from a higher reality. God is calling us to live from that place. Even today, there is going to be an impartation, a commissioning from the valley to the throne room. So, God began to speak to me that night from Colossians 3. It says this:

“Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we have to yearn for all that is above for that is where Christ seats enthroned at the place of all power and authority. Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities and not the distractions of the natural realm. Your crucifixion with Christ has severed your tie to this life and now your true life is hidden away in God, in Christ, as Christ himself is seen for who He truly is and who you really are will also be revealed for now you are with Him in His Glory.”

LEAVING THE VALLEY BEHIND & THE IGNITING OF LEGACY

You see, you’ve been living in the valley long enough; that’s been such an assignment of the enemy; you’ve been living in there far too long. Your family has been camping out at the bottom of that valley for far too long, but the Lord says “I’m doing a new thing and I’m redeeming your family. Your family is about to ascend; your legacy is about to begin in my Glory saith the Lord. Your situation is about to change as you ascend into my Glory because you’ll see things differently. Those poverty mindsets will break off; those hereditary diseases that keeps trying to plague you and your children will be broken off your life because I’ve called you higher. I’ve called you to come up to a higher place.

I break every limitation off you right now in the name of Jesus. Everything that has tried to hold you back into a past season, into a past reality comes off you right now.” The Lord says, “you’re a child of God; this gives you access to a higher reality.”

THE CALL TO A PROPHETIC GENERATION

Then I felt the Lord impressing me to read Revelation 4:1-2 as I did I felt the longing on His heart for us to know in this season what we have access to;

“Suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a heavenly portal open up before me and then the trumpet voice I heard speak to me at the beginning broke the silence and said “ascend into this realm; I want to reveal to you what must happen.” After this, instantly, I was taken up into the spirit realm and behold I saw a heavenly throne set in place and someone seated upon it.”

I just want to break that down for you for a moment. The door spoken about in this scripture is a portal; it’s an entrance. It speaks in Psalms 24 that we are called to be gates and doors.

“Swing wide you heavenly gates, you age abiding doors and let the King of Glory come in”

It’s speaking about us being God’s gateways from heaven to earth. Then also in the verse it speaks of a trumpet sound; a war trumpet; a declaration of victory, a trumpet blast and He said “come up here; ascend, rise, spring up, climb up, step out of where you are. It’s time to move on. It’s time to move into your destiny because I want to show you, I want to point out to you; I want to exhibit to you; teach you, demonstrate to you and make known and manifest what is to come; what is to happen, what I am going to establish, that which needs to come into being, and that which needs to emerge. It’s transitioning you from one point, one realm, one condition to another realm; to a higher realm. It’s your metamorphosis.

See, God is not just taking you to another realm; He is bringing you into a different state of being; a different way of thinking, a different way of seeing. The Lord says in this place you will receive my heavenly scrolls; you will receive the revelation that you need to move forward. The actual word here in the Greek is ‘ginomai’. It means ‘to come into being.’ It is a manifestation and it implies motion, movement and growth and this has been a season of exponential growth. This has been a season of exponential movement, but it has also been a season of exponential discomfort because the Lord is breaking ties to the past and those things that have held you back and He is saying “stop looking back, stop looking back. I want you to come up higher.” Come up here says the Lord; come up here says the Lord; come up here says the Lord, “come up to a different place; don’t stay where you’ve been. Come up, come up, come up” and what’s the key? The next part of revelation 4 speaks about the 24 elders and the angels gathered around the throne of God.

THRONE ROOM ENCOUNTERS, CONCEPTION, & DESTINY AWOKEN

We need to dwell around the throne and the Lord God is looking for those who will come; who will make the altars in their homes; who will respond to His voice, who will turn off their phones so that they can listen to the sound of His voice calling them. This is an hour of life changing, history altering encounters.

In 2006, I was so hungry for the Lord. I was newly married, and I just knew I needed to do something. I was desperate; there was a desperation of the inside of me saying “God I can’t move forward without your presence.” like Moses said “God, I can’t, I can’t go without your presence. I need you; I need your glory God; I need it. I need it more than my next breath. I need it. I don’t know what it is God.” I began to lay down in my living room and just worship Him like this and as I did, His presence, His glory just began to fall and fill my room. I began to hear his voice and I began to be marked in that place. I felt known by God.

In the past week, the Lord has been reminding me again of things He spoke to me in that place and He said “Nate, I’m calling a generation to their knees. I’m calling a generation to leave everything behind for those moments in my Glory because they don’t realize what will come from those moments. They’re looking for the next breakthrough; they’re looking for the next thing that is going to make them feel good. They are looking for the next spiritual high when they don’t know it is the place of my presence that marks them for a lifestyle of being loved, being known, being adored, the place that they continually know how to live not just from my Glory, but they’ll live as one with me in my Glory.

So, Lord we just say yes to this season of encounters because God is commissioning us even right now. Holy Spirit is beginning to mark you. He’s beginning to mark you. He’s beginning to mark you. You’re going to feel him; you’re going to feel him in the days to come, the fire burning in your spirit because “it’s not my words that will dig deep into you, it’s the presence of God. Many are saying “I need to live for something more than what I’ve been living for. I’ve been living for something that is far less than what God has called me to live for!”. God is going to put a bad taste in your mouth for anything that is less than His best. Situations that you have been just allowing the enemy to rob you in; those relationships that are not God’s best, God is like “I am freeing you from those things, but you’re going to need to want to get free from them. I’m putting such a hunger in you, such a thirst in you for my Glory that everything else will wane in comparison to it”

So, Lord release a fresh hunger today. Purpose is been awoken even right now. There is conception taking place in the spirit even right now. Holy spirit we thank you.

PROPHETS ARE TAKING OFFICE

The Lord said to me; this is just a few of the things that will happen as a result of throne room dwellers arising. This is just a few of the things the Lord began to speak to me about that are going to be the markers of this next season. There’s a generation rising who know God who will lay everything down for His glory.

The First thing He said to me was “Prophets are taking their office” and I saw the prophetic offices of governmental authority being taken up and the Lord reminded me of an encounter that I had with Him a few years ago before Kim Clement passed away; actually it was February 2016 and I was in worship and the Lord said something so profound with a grief on His heart “Where are the Kim Clements of the earth? I felt just that; the grief on His heart that not many have taken up the prophetic office the way that Kim Clement had, with full abandon, with full worship like He had; the heart of a David and he knew how to blast the prophetic trumpet deep inside Him. It was an all or nothing thing for him and the Lord said “where are the Kim Clements of the earth?” because you can’t be someone in that governmental authority in the office of the prophet but still operate in the fear of man. You can’t; you can’t do both and the Lord is doing something right now in the prophetic. People have been calling it the purifying of the prophetic but it’s so much more, it’s so much deeper than that. It’s a deep marking and a burning for prophets to step into office at all costs. It’s a laying down; its a surrender; it’s a commissioning It’s a commissioning of fire on the prophets. I heard the Lord say “will you speak what I give you? Will you say what I tell you to say? Will you not edit what I give you? Will you step into the weightiness of the calling upon your life?”

PROPHETS, STEP INTO YOUR OFFICE!

So I prophesy “prophets arise!” There are many out there that have been operating as prophetic encouragers, but they are actually mantled as Prophets. I heard God saying “step into the weight of your jacket, step into the weight of your mantle, step into your office!” It’s time to step out of that place where you’re just sitting on the fence waiting, hoping that someone is going to validate you. It’s never going to come! You’re going to need to dig a little deeper. You’re going to have to let the Fathers embrace commission you because it’s not going to happen by man. If you’re waiting for that moment, it’s not going to come. Prophets it’s time! We’re stepping out of the schoolyard and into the deep rivers again. Prophets are not just going to be mouth pieces bringing the word of the Lord to the four corners of the earth. We are going to see them come to pass. We’re going to be people that activate and raise up this generation in the voice of the Lord.

A NEW VOICE, A NEW SOUND, A NEW LANGUAGE, AND DELIVERED FROM THE FEAR OF MAN

“I’m giving you a new voice and new unction and you will operate from your office, not from the fear of man; not trying to say what is acceptable or even by the cultural norms or politically correct terms and language and verbiage, no, but you will speak forth from the spirit. You will speak forth from the throne what I give you” says the Lord, because culture needs to be shifted and your voice carries power. The trumpet blast needs to be sounded. Gates and doors need to be opened for governmental insights and strategy that are going to come. You are going to step into new realms. God is going to open your eyes and you are going to see. “Prophetic worshippers arise! Prophetic worshipers arise. It’s time to demonstrate what it means to rule and legislate from heaven” says the Lord.

THE EMERGING ONES ARE ARISING OUT OF THE WILDERNESS AND BREAKING THE SILENCE

Then God began to speak to me about something that he has been speaking to my spirit for years now and there are many on here hearing this. Let this be your commissioning in this moment and He said that “Emerging ones are arising from the wilderness Nate” and that that’s why it’s so integral for the prophetic, for the prophets to step in to their office because He’s waking you up, He’s stirring up those that have dropped their mantle; the mothers and fathers. He’s calling you out of the wilderness “can you hear My voice?”

The Father is saying “I’m calling you out of the wilderness. You’re going to rise up with a new song; with a new sound. I’m calling you out of the wilderness. I’m calling you home” and the Lord said “I’m calling upon those who have dropped their fiery calls and they will speak again. They will speak again says the Lord. They carry a key that will unlock regions and cities and nations; these new emerging voices. It’s the sound. It’s the one crying from the wilderness; it’s the one crying from the wilderness; it’s the ones. It’s the spirit of Elijah in our day. Restore the altar, they will say “restore the altar.” I’m turning hearts of fathers to sons and sons to fathers saith the Lord. I’m restoring the family of God and they were many that had been under the assignment of spirits that had been called to silence them like it says in Revelation 4, “He broke the silence!”

JEZEBEL IS LOSING INFLUENCE

That’s a word over you today but the Lord spoke to me in the dark that night. He said “Nate, the Eunuchs are being freed. Voices that have been shut up are rising up” and if you’re on here right now, you don’t even know it but the Lord said, “there are many that have been Eunuchs,” you know, Jezebel had eunuchs. It’s the ones that couldn’t conceive or bring forth or produce and it’s like you’re trying to speak but you feel silenced and it’s like you’re trying to release from your spirit but it’s like nothing is coming forth; the Lord said “in this hour I am healing and bringing restoration to those who had been silenced in the spirit, those who could not produce or bring forth.” God says “you will no longer be called Eunuchs.”

He says “I am raising up a new generation of prophets who will not live under the assignment of that jezebel spirit; who will not live dictated by the influence of the spirit of religion that wants to tame or the political spirit that wants everything perfect; all their ducks in a row,” no, but the Lord says “I am calling those who will not operate from the fear of man but will simply raise up their voices. They will simply raise up their voice like a trumpet.” and the Lord said, “as you raise up your new sound there will be healing that will come; there will be healing that will come to you because I am restoring you and I am restoring a generation who are orphaned, identity-less.” The Lord says, “I’m raising up a generation who know me.” So, “as you leave the wilderness you’re bringing out a generation with you” says the Lord.

A NEW LANGUAGE & THE BREAKING OF BABBEL

You don’t even know and there’s a new language coming; there’s a new language in the spirit. The Lord has been speaking to me about a new language that is going to unlock new dimensions of God; a vocabulary and heart that we haven’t heard or understood. These are new expressions on the Lords heart that are about to manifest through sons and daughters.

Do you know the tower of Babel was built to access the heavens without intimacy? It was an illegitimate access, so, it was denied. It created confusion and disunity. Babel actually means ‘a confused noise made by a number of voices’, but the lord spoke to me and said “it is time for the one sound. It is time for the sound of unity.” See there has been many streams but there has been no rivers but it is time for the rivers. It is time for the rivers; “no more Babel” says the Lord.

There will be utterances of the Spirit of God that is going to burst forth from the inside of you. Get ready for the Lord to speak to you in fresh new ways. Many are about to have dreams and visions like they have never known before. Many are about to step into different areas of revelation and the Lord is speaking and declaring things to them and showing them things that they have never heard anywhere before. The Lord says “get ready; get out your pen; get out your pen, bring forth what I show you is to come; bring forth. Write down, declare it, speak it,” because we are in a season of a fresh infilling of God where new rivers are flowing; rivers are flowing.

FRESH BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT AND RIVERS FLOWING

Revelations 22 speaks about the river that came out of the city of God and Ezekiel 47:12, it says “these fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river and the leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit because the water from the sanctuary flows to them and their fruit will serve for food and the leaves for healing.” As God begins to fill you afresh; as the Holy Spirit begins to baptize you afresh, rivers of living water are going to burst out of the inside of you to bring healing to your life and to so many others. Thank you, Jesus. Jesus said to the woman at the well in John 4:13

“if you drink from Jacob’s well, the old source, you’ll be thirsty again but if anyone drinks from the living water I give you, they’ll never thirst again and they’ll be forever satisfied for when you drink the water I give you it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit springing up and flooding you with endless life.”

I feel like the Lord is saying “many have been drinking from the old well; drinking from the old well. Now is the time for a fresh infilling of my Spirit as you ascend; as you come into my throne room. I’m going to fill you up.” You’ve been feeling dry, but the Lord is saying “now it’s time for a flood of my Spirit” and you’re going to flood forth, you’re going to gush forth my rivers from the inside of you. In John 7:38 it says;

“whoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow within them”

Rivers flow! I just command rivers to flow even right now. Rivers that had been stopped up; if you have never felt your river flow in a long time, If it has been a long time since you have drunk from the Spirit of God, if it has been a long time since you have dipped your barrel in the well and said “God fill me to overflowing, I’ve been dry, I’ve been thirsty, I’ve been in a desert, I’ve been in a wilderness spiritually,” just say “God baptize me afresh. Holy spirit come.” There’s a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit upon hearts.

RIPE REGIONAL REVIVAL & UNCAPPING WELLS

I heard the Lord begin to say from Isaiah 64:1. It was like he was wanting me to speak it out, so I did “God that you would rend the heavens and you will come down; that the mountains will tremble before you.” The Lord said, “there’s a fresh cry coming from my people saying, oh God rend the heavens!”

When did revival become a dirty word? When did it become a dirty word because God is saying “I’m putting it upon the hearts of my people again.” God, we need revival; we need revival; a generation that is a marked with revival; that are revival. We need revival. I need the revealing of sons and daughters in the earth and as I was sitting in that place I began to see regions around the earth that were ripe for revival and all they were needing was someone just to tap it and say “God, this place! this place God. I speak to the destiny! I speak to what was spoken over this region come forth. God rend the heavens, come down God. Let Your fire touch and rain down upon this place” and as He did, suddenly it began to erupt, and everything began to shift and change, and Heaven began to fall down in that place.

It’s time for a regional breakout of God’s Glory and outpouring and God is reviving revival starters who lost their spark. The Lord is saying “I’m restoring; I’m resurrecting what you dropped” because God gave you a command; He gave you a commission to be a revival starter, but you dropped it. Circumstances came against you and you dropped it. The Lord is saying “I’m even right now putting a fresh fire upon those who are called to be the catalyst of revival in regions and nations who will call forth my Spirit.

Who will call forth the things that have been spoken? Who will come into agreement with what I’m speaking over cities and regions and nations? Revival is ripe in the earth! Who will see and who will call forth and who will contend? Who will steward regions for revival?”

RESURGENCE OF SIGNS WONDER AND MIRACLES

The Lord is saying “I’m doing a new thing! I’m putting it upon the hearts of my people again and It’s an hour for miracles signs and wonders.” When I was sitting there in that place and I was taking up in the spirit, I saw all around me and it’s like there were these boxes; all these different items in the spirit and I said “Lord what is this” and he said “It is the backlog of miracles, signs and wonders that my people haven’t wanted or longed for anymore.”

I remember laying there in 2006 on my floor of my living room and there was such a hunger in me for signs, wonders and miracles and they were breaking out all around me and I felt the Lord even putting a hunger in me again. He said “Nate when did miracles, signs and wonders stop? When did they become less frequent? The Lord said, “Miracles are going to become common place again.” He said “don’t deny my power.” We have gotten used to just words and fluffy things that make us feel good for a day. It’s like band-aid Christianity and God is like “Who will be brokers of my power? Who will be those that bring forth the Glory, the miracles, signs and wonders? For I am going to move in mysterious ways through mysterious people, through new miracle ministries of demonstration. They’re emerging in this hour.” People have gotten pulled off by fragrances and it raining indoors and I hear the Lord say that “you have no idea what’s coming; the demonstration of God’s glory and just the type of healings that are going to begin to burst forth on the earth; the type of encounters and visitations that will come upon even the unsaved in this hour.”

It’s going to wreck your paradigm; it’s going to smash through those religious boxes and God is going to bring you up higher. He’s going to cause you to believe for greater. He’s going to cause you to hope for more than you have been hoping for.

Thank you, God, that you are breaking unbelief in this generation. God, you’re causing us to rise up and step into our inheritance and the healing mantles that are being released. In this hour, healing ministries are been stepped into. Glory days says the Lord. “There’s a resurgence of the healing ministries that are going to be beyond anything that we have seen. It’s going to be like back in the 50s and 60s and there’s innovation being released.

INNOVATION, MEDIA, & GLOBAL STRATEGISTS

There are ideas and inventions been released from the secret place; from the throne room. I saw a vacuum in the spirit, almost like there was a void, there was a place that people had not dreamt with God and He’s like “would you dream with me because there are strategies and ideas that I want to bring forth through you. Be my strategist in the earth. Not many are accessing heavens creativity and innovation but now is the time for the new songs that are going to be released that will be the catalyst of fresh outpouring in the earth. Where are the new songs? Bring them forth, says the Lord

There is about to be a move in the area of media. I saw media Apostles and Revivalists that would actually come and build new platforms and systems and they will be the head and not the tail; above only and not beneath. They will rise up to the top of that media mountain and they will declare, and they will shout forth the truth from Heaven. They will not be bound; they will not be bound says the Lord. It’s almost like I just see a red tape in the spirit being broken. There’ll be no bureaucratic oppression or opposition says the Lord for I am calling them forth as pure mouth pieces and they’re going to take back ground, says the Lord

THIS IS YOUR THRONE-ROOM COMMISSIONING

This is the hour of the commissioning of His Glory. This is the hour of the commissioning of those that will ascend and come up higher. This is the second wind for many.

“Who would partner with heaven,” says the Lord? “Who will pick up the package? who will pick up what I’ve given them to release? Who will be faithful and obedient with what I’ve given them? Who will be my recipients and carriers and transporters of my Glory, my ideas, my heart to the earth, to a people that need it more than ever before? Who would just take me at my word? Who will drink from me and allow rivers to flow? Who will lay down their need for approval? Who will lay down their marketing campaigns and lay in my glory Who will lay down their brands and their needing to build, their needing to make, their needing to press forward and simply lay in my glory so that I build through them; so that I speak through them. Don’t forget the altar; don’t forget the fire, don’t forget the flame. Don’t forget my secret place; says the Lord. I want you to last the distance. I want you to be a people that are so much more focused on their reality in heaven; their citizenship in heaven than they want to be effective on the earth.”

No longer will we say, “those who are heavenly minded are no earthly good.,” because as we are heavenly minded, we become more effective in the earth. Who will lift up their voices? He is releasing a fresh fire over you right now.

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

By Nate Johnston November 20, 2024
A few days ago, I shared a few thoughts I had randomly posted on social media about how things were going to look different in the days ahead. They bubbled out of my spirit because it just felt overwhelmingly obvious and apparent that there had been a shift. But I felt I needed to give a little more language to this. Now that we are here, I can see how the last four years have been leading us to this very point. Maybe even the last 7 years too. While this word is not political in nature—and regardless of where you stand—it has to be said - the recent election was a major tectonic shift, not only for the United States but for the world. It was that significant. A marker moment. In the spirit, I could see it—a major eruption in the deep that ignited thousands more around the world. I knew right then and there that things were never going to be the same again. It’s crazy how one event can spark so many others, but that’s exactly what it felt like. The world I knew and the life I knew before that day were going to be different. It’s like when 9/11 happened. The world changed in a moment. And in the same way—except positively—this one event converged with the timing of heaven, where God was unleashing something upon the earth. WELCOME TO THE NEW DAWN I believe we are at the dawn of a new day in the body of Christ. But a change that I believe is going to challenge us all deeply. It’s going to challenge us to abandon the survival mentality we’ve grown used to over the years. Suddenly, a door has opened and we are on the other side of something. Soon we will see that the battles of yesterday will fade away as we discover we are no longer in that valley we have camped in for years. We will no longer wrestle with many of the battles that defined the previous season. We may no longer deal with constant red tape and bureaucracy, delays, hope deferred, constant difficulties, or relentless warfare over simple things. But it’s not that there are no battles anymore—it’s just that the nature of the battle has shifted. When Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, the battle didn’t stop—it changed form. In the wilderness, their struggles were rooted in the harsh environment, discouragement, disappointment, and the mindset of slavery in Egypt. But as soon as they entered the Promised Land, they were surrounded by incredible wealth, resources, and food. They no longer faced the wilderness battles they once did. Instead, they faced new giants in the land. The battle shifted from mental and emotional challenges to an offensive conquest to take territory and evict its inhabitants. After years in the wilderness the Israelites had to learn to wield their sword again and fight with authority. But to effectively wage war in their new season, they had to believe they were powerful and walk in their authority. I believe that’s where we are right now - a season of governmental occupation. The things we’ve been contending for and persisting in may no longer be relevant. We’re shifting into an entirely new playing field of kingdom conquest. And if you are wondering what the next chapter looks like this is what I see. Battles and dead giants. Challenges and great victories. The stakes have gone up but you and I were born for this. It’s going to cause the spiritually dead to come alive and run into their destiny! Beyond this moment, the body of Christ is stepping into something radically different and we need new eyes to see it so we don’t fall back into the death of routine. THE WINESKIN IS CHANGING For years we have known that the old, tattered wineskin we’ve held onto for so long is no longer effective. It cannot sustain the move of God starting to crash on our shores. In fact, when God shows up our current wineskin will seem embarrassing if we are still holding it. Many will see that they haven’t been ready. We’ve been trying to contain God, use God, monopolize God, and brand every revival under our banner. But worse we have believed revival to be one thing based on old seasons when it now looks completely different. There will be no experts beyond this point —only novices at the feet of Jesus. Those sitting on lofty thrones of ambition and milestones will find their structures collapsing. We can no longer build our lives around museums of the past. We must fix our gaze on the future and where God is leading us. A NEW IDENTITY This is a season where God is redefining how we see ourselves in Christ. Over the last four years, God’s people have seen themselves in such a small light. We’ve underestimated who we are in Him, and God is now reinventing us. He’s reminding us of who we are. God is calling us to pull out the stones of remembrance. He’s saying: “Remember where you’ve been. Remember what I’ve brought you through. Now look ahead to where you’re going.” This is the dawn of a new day, a new beginning. We are shifting from survival mentality and wilderness thinking into a place of thriving. We are rediscovering what it means to live with inheritance. We’re returning to sonship and being fathered by God in ways we’ve lost sight of. We’re returning to the BURNING of the original call and fire in our bellies that sent us out. The old map is the new map I hear the lord saying. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION This is an hour of deliverance—not just from old methods and traditions but also from the things we’ve normalized. We’ve normalized mental health struggles, depression, and dysphoria. We’ve coddled demons and called it loving or comforting. Now, God is addressing these areas where the church has fallen for other lovers. He’s confronting the lies we’ve believed about ourselves and about Him. As we step into this new day, it will be both confronting and freeing. It’s the tension of saying: “Thank God that season is over!” But also: “Oh no, it’s time to put my big boy pants on.” Yes, this change requires greater maturity and responsibility. THE CICADA STUCK ON THE TREE As I shared that small word I had a glimpse of a childhood memory. Of a favorite tree I used to climb that regularly had hundreds of cicada shells on it. I knew the lord was speaking to me about the church. You see, we have talked for years about the new era, the crossing over, the new wineskin, and the changing of the guard in the church. We have said statements like “The age of empires is over, and the days of family have begun.” But what does that mean and what is the cicada? The cicada is the church and the shell is the church coming out of an old and outdated way. We have been in a season of grace to transition out but now it’s time to leave it in the tree. Let it die. And finally come back to the original plan. Why because Acts 2 is upon us! We are coming back, full circle to Gods first church and shedding off the layers of man. HUMILITY AND AWAKENING Right now many trying to sustain the old regime are growing weary. They’ll soon realize it’s time to lay down their hats and surrender at His feet. Even those who have been worker bees for the old hive are feeling the pull of this awakening. Blindfolds are coming off en masse. There will be a brief coup—a deviant sect claiming to be the new thing but rooted in humanism and man’s wisdom. They will reject the call to humility. For a while, it may seem to divide prophetic voices. But once the fresh move of God crashes upon the earth, even these will repent and surrender. This move will humble the proud, and brokenness will bring deliverance to the rebellious. We will witness thousands running to the altar to exchange their achievements for a glimpse of His face—the very thing they started out pursuing. ALL FOR HIM What we thought was the kingdom is being redefined. What we thought was Jesus is being made clear. All false gospels are being exposed. In this moment, the Father is delivering us from religion and our own ambitions. He is aligning our calling with His purposes. He is becoming our everything. And I don’t know about you, but I can’t do things the same anymore. It’s no longer a time to fear man, rely on common sense, or prioritize rationale. We must move where He is moving—at all costs. DIAGNOSING THE SEASON The change is in the air. You can feel it. It’s as if the spiritual temperature around you has shifted—something is different, and you can’t ignore it. Here are some practical indicators of a season change: You sense an internal shift. Your desires and appetites have changed. What once satisfied you no longer feels relevant, and you find yourself longing for something new, something deeper. You feel like you can’t go back, even if you tried. The door to the old season has been shut, and there’s no way to reopen it. God is making it clear that what was behind you is no longer an option. There’s an urgency or longing that wasn’t there yesterday. Perhaps you feel a fresh sense of expectancy stirring in your spirit—like the ground beneath you is about to move, and you need to be ready to act. You can feel the weight of the shift. Even if you can’t fully articulate it, you know that the path ahead is uncharted, and God is inviting you to trust Him in a new way. Take time to tune into what the Holy Spirit is saying in this moment. Ask yourself, “What is He calling me to leave behind? What is He drawing me toward? What doors are opening, and which ones have closed?” This is not a time to resist the shift—it’s a time to step into it with faith and courage. God is moving, and He’s calling you to move with Him. PIONEERING A NEW PATH And we have entered a season of fresh pioneering. The old ways of advancing the kingdom will no longer work because God is leading us into uncharted territory. We can’t rely on formulas, traditions, or comfort zones. We must embrace the new path God is carving out before us. This requires us to step out in faith, even when we don’t have all the answers. Pioneering isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about trusting the One who goes before us. Just as the Israelites had to follow the Ark of the Covenant into the unknown, we must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and move where He leads. Pioneers it’s time again ti create pathways for others to follow. This is your moment to rise. THE CHARGE TO RENEGADES AND THE NEW DAY SCRIBES And just as we need pioneers, we need untamed renegades and new day scribes and prophets to write the introduction to this new chapter and lead us forward. This is not a time for polished perfection or cookie-cutter ministry. This is a time for wild obedience, raw passion, and unrelenting faith. Renegades, the body of Christ needs your courage. You were made to confront the giants in the land and tear down the altars of compromise. Your boldness will inspire others to rise up and take their place in this new era. Scribes and prophets, your words will ignite fires of revival. Pick up your pens. Open your mouths. The Spirit of God is ready to pour out fresh revelation through you. This generation needs your voice to declare the truths of heaven. Write the blueprints. Prophesy the new path. Lead the charge. We need your untamed hearts to step into this season unafraid of man’s opinions. We need your voices to call the church back to purity and intimacy with Jesus. This is your commissioning moment. I feel to say this - the fresh permission of heaven is upon you! Go where no one else will go. Say what no one else will say. Build what no one else will build. The world is waiting. The church is waiting. Heaven is watching. Let’s turn the page together. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.” Exodus 14:15 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.” Isaiah 54:2-3

On Sunday, the 17th of November 2024, I had a vision of a field being harvested by a massive harvester. As I got closer to the field, I could see that over half of it was not full of wheat but full of weeds. And I said, “Lord, what is this? What are we looking at?” Knowing already, I realized I was seeing the tares among the wheat. I began to feel discouraged that there were actually so many weeds. This isn’t the great harvest that I believed I would see in my lifetime. And the Lord said to me, “No, this is the harvest before the harvest. This is the time of division that brings repentance and a decision for the body of Christ, so that the next harvest we step into will be the great harvest that was prophesied.” It was then that I saw the harvesting machine crush down the weeds into the soil. And then I felt like the Lord was saying, “But this will be one of the most fruitful times, because the weeds that have been working against the wheat all this time will now be used as fertilizer for the harvest.” This is not a time to fear as things suddenly feel more divided, because it’s not a time of polarizing or dividing the church but of bringing those who have not been bearing fruit—and who have been listening to the voice of the enemy—into a time of great decision. “Will they choose Me, or will they choose man? Will they follow Jesus, or will they follow another version of Jesus?” I heard Him say. Friends, I believe that right now we can either look at the division around us on the earth as something negative, or we can see it as part of a harvest that is leading and pointing us to the greater harvest that has been prophesied. It’s not a time to get discouraged or to hang up our tools. It’s not a time to stop speaking or to stop forging ahead. It’s actually a time to celebrate and get ready because God is leading us toward the great harvest. We’re going to see an incredible reaping of souls in the days to come. I truly believe this is the time where the Lord is saying, “Get the barn ready. Get the barn ready for what I’m about to pour out!” Don’t look to the critics or the naysayers. Don’t look to those who are prophesying doom and gloom, because God is not done with America, and He’s not done with the nations. For while there will be great tension and clashing of ideals and kingdoms, this will be the shaking that shakes the church awake and the right way up! Acts 2 is already upon us and our best days are ahead.

A few days ago, I shared a few thoughts I had randomly posted on social media about how things were going to look different in the days ahead. They bubbled out of my spirit because it just felt overwhelmingly obvious and apparent that there had been a shift. But I felt I needed to give a little more language to this. Now that we are here, I can see how the last four years have been leading us to this very point. Maybe even the last 7 years too. While this word is not political in nature—and regardless of where you stand—it has to be said - the recent election was a major tectonic shift, not only for the United States but for the world. It was that significant. A marker moment. In the spirit, I could see it—a major eruption in the deep that ignited thousands more around the world. I knew right then and there that things were never going to be the same again. It’s crazy how one event can spark so many others, but that’s exactly what it felt like. The world I knew and the life I knew before that day were going to be different. It’s like when 9/11 happened. The world changed in a moment. And in the same way—except positively—this one event converged with the timing of heaven, where God was unleashing something upon the earth. WELCOME TO THE NEW DAWN I believe we are at the dawn of a new day in the body of Christ. But a change that I believe is going to challenge us all deeply. It’s going to challenge us to abandon the survival mentality we’ve grown used to over the years. Suddenly, a door has opened and we are on the other side of something. Soon we will see that the battles of yesterday will fade away as we discover we are no longer in that valley we have camped in for years. We will no longer wrestle with many of the battles that defined the previous season. We may no longer deal with constant red tape and bureaucracy, delays, hope deferred, constant difficulties, or relentless warfare over simple things. But it’s not that there are no battles anymore—it’s just that the nature of the battle has shifted. When Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, the battle didn’t stop—it changed form. In the wilderness, their struggles were rooted in the harsh environment, discouragement, disappointment, and the mindset of slavery in Egypt. But as soon as they entered the Promised Land, they were surrounded by incredible wealth, resources, and food. They no longer faced the wilderness battles they once did. Instead, they faced new giants in the land. The battle shifted from mental and emotional challenges to an offensive conquest to take territory and evict its inhabitants. After years in the wilderness the Israelites had to learn to wield their sword again and fight with authority. But to effectively wage war in their new season, they had to believe they were powerful and walk in their authority. I believe that’s where we are right now - a season of governmental occupation. The things we’ve been contending for and persisting in may no longer be relevant. We’re shifting into an entirely new playing field of kingdom conquest. And if you are wondering what the next chapter looks like this is what I see. Battles and dead giants. Challenges and great victories. The stakes have gone up but you and I were born for this. It’s going to cause the spiritually dead to come alive and run into their destiny! Beyond this moment, the body of Christ is stepping into something radically different and we need new eyes to see it so we don’t fall back into the death of routine. THE WINESKIN IS CHANGING For years we have known that the old, tattered wineskin we’ve held onto for so long is no longer effective. It cannot sustain the move of God starting to crash on our shores. In fact, when God shows up our current wineskin will seem embarrassing if we are still holding it. Many will see that they haven’t been ready. We’ve been trying to contain God, use God, monopolize God, and brand every revival under our banner. But worse we have believed revival to be one thing based on old seasons when it now looks completely different. There will be no experts beyond this point —only novices at the feet of Jesus. Those sitting on lofty thrones of ambition and milestones will find their structures collapsing. We can no longer build our lives around museums of the past. We must fix our gaze on the future and where God is leading us. A NEW IDENTITY This is a season where God is redefining how we see ourselves in Christ. Over the last four years, God’s people have seen themselves in such a small light. We’ve underestimated who we are in Him, and God is now reinventing us. He’s reminding us of who we are. God is calling us to pull out the stones of remembrance. He’s saying: “Remember where you’ve been. Remember what I’ve brought you through. Now look ahead to where you’re going.” This is the dawn of a new day, a new beginning. We are shifting from survival mentality and wilderness thinking into a place of thriving. We are rediscovering what it means to live with inheritance. We’re returning to sonship and being fathered by God in ways we’ve lost sight of. We’re returning to the BURNING of the original call and fire in our bellies that sent us out. The old map is the new map I hear the lord saying. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION This is an hour of deliverance—not just from old methods and traditions but also from the things we’ve normalized.
