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 June 13, 2025
I believe we are in a window of time right now where God is turning the institutional church back into a hospital again. Just this sentence alone feels like a deep branding upon my heart because I’ve seen it in dreams increasing over the last year - a wounded and battered church and a bound world, but who will restore them? Recently, the Lord spoke to me through a personal experience. I had to go to the dentist for some intense tooth pain, and after visiting two different places neither would fix the issue. I knew there was something prophetic in it. Then the Lord said to me, “Many of my sick, broken, and demonized have been coming into churches, but they are not being delivered or set free.” Ah...there it was. But right now, God is raising up the healers again In a time when the earth more than ever before needs to see the rise of a healing church, a hospital church. Right now God is flipping the script on many ministries and institutions that have been focused on everything but the basics. We have not been doing what Luke 4:18-19 or Matthew 10:8-10 commands us to do. We have not been cleansing the lepers or healing the sick. We’ve drifted from the core of the great commission. The enemy has led us into side paths that do not transform people’s lives. But God is placing a fresh compassion on the Church and is renewing our love for people that sets people free. “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” — Matthew 4:14 If the enemy can make us love ministry more than we love people, if he can trap us in the idolatry of ministry we will fall out of love with the very ones we’re called to serve. Ouch! Yes, we will stop loving people, even though we’re still doing ministry technically but we have lost our true love that enables the power of God to come. And I’m not talking about a love that coddles people in their sin, tolerates demons, or keeps people brainwashed and yoked to false ideologies and fractured identities. I’m talking about the kind of love that walks hand in hand with truth, that drives out demons, and that stands at the crossroads and warns, “That’s not the way!” We need the kind of love that speaks straight and delivers people. Jesus walked in that kind of love. It was compassion that moved Him to perform great miracles. That’s what’s been missing in the Church. We’ve lost our compassion for people. We’ve lost our genuine love. We’re doing ministry for stats, KPIs, content, and reputation. Churches are trying to fill seats, recruit members, and collect tithes while people walk into our buildings bound, broken, addicted, demonized, and they are not being set free. But right now that is changing. The boardroom is being converted to an ER again! As we were leaving Pirate’s Cove on Saturday, the most powerful part of the day was still to come. Just after 6 p.m as the tide was in, a girl came up crying. Her friend asked if I could pray for her, and I did. As I prayed, I could tell she was under serious oppression, and for a few minutes, nothing shifted. But I refused to leave her the way she came. I asked the Lord what was happening. Instantly, I saw her life like a book. I saw shame and pain from the situations she’d walked through. Then I felt the intense love of the Father for her, and He said to me, “Tell her she is pure.” As soon as I said those words, she began to cough uncontrollably until the unclean spirit left. Then she asked to be baptized right there at Pirate’s Cove. It was a victory moment for her, but it was also a marking moment for me. I couldn’t understand at first why it impacted me so deeply. I’ve seen situations like this many times before. I never take them for granted, but this one felt profound. I realized later that it was God speaking loudly through this encounter. Right now, something fresh is happening around the earth. God is showing up in power. The Church is shaking off her chains and becoming who she was always meant to be. There’s an uprising - a movement leaving behind Christianity as usual. But it’s something much holier than we’ve seen before, and we’ll miss it if we’re not paying attention. God is after the broken and the lost. He’s leaving the ninety-nine for the one. He’s flipping the enemy’s lies and calling what was tainted, pure again. Lou Engle once asked, “What if California was the adulterous woman Jesus redeemed?” That day, as I prophesied, I heard myself say, “What if California is the woman at the well, waiting for a church to call her clean?” We have cursed our cities, our states, and our nations as though they are too far gone. But they are only one word away from redemption if the Church would only see God’s heart in the middle of the chaos. This is a time where we must walk in powerful truth and real love. Without both, the Church fails. Weak Christianity is afraid of offending people, so it keeps them bound in the name of kindness. Truth alone might drive out demons, but without love, it doesn’t draw the broken into intimacy with God. We are standing on the edge of something monumental, a move of God that is raw, wild, unpolished, and simple. As it says in Luke 4:18 - 19, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” The days of the hospital church have begun. The days of power are returning. And the days of God’s love driving out darkness are here again. This is our call, to speak what the enemy has called unclean and declare it pure. That is our mandate. Now, let me speak directly to the healers. You know who you are. You know that God has marked you for miracles, signs, and wonders. You’ve known that you’re called to be His healing hands in this moment. But you’ve felt disqualified. You look at your life and feel broken. You’ve fallen. You still need healing. You feel like something inside of you is tainted or poisoned by the last few years of hard battle. You’ve been heavy in your soul, discouraged, and weary. That has been the enemy’s strategy all along, to wear down the healers. To bombard the ones called to bring true deliverance. And because of that, we’ve seen the rise of false deliverance ministries, false healers, counterfeit prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ve stepped into a vacuum because the real healers have been under attack and haven’t yet risen up. But I believe that this moment is a call to the healers to rise again. It’s time to step back into your calling. I had a vision of someone’s legs and I knew this was a prophetic picture of the healers. They were twisted and deformed and decommissioned. And the Lord said to me, “Speak strength to their legs. Speak strength to their backs. Speak strength to their bones.” Suddenly, in the vision, the legs straightened out and they were standing to their feet! I declare the same over you - that every part of your life that has felt out of place, twisted, wounded, or weary, let it be healed and realigned with the hope and truth of God. Healers, rise up. Get your strength back. Get your compassion back. Be healed and take your place. It is time to walk again in the power of God and the compassion of Jesus. So now, in the name of Jesus, I speak to every healer, every deliverer, every voice and vessel who has been marked by God for miracles, but has felt crushed under the weight of shame, warfare, disappointment, or disqualification. I declare over you - this is your resurrection moment. Where the enemy has tainted you, twisted your story, and tried to convince you that you are unclean or unworthy, I now declare by the blood of Jesus that you are being made clean. The stain of the past, the trauma, the compromise, and the confusion is being washed off of you in this moment. I speak a cleansing over your mind, your body, your heart, and your history. The blood still speaks a better word over you. Let every accusation from hell be silenced right now. I call your mantle out of the ashes. I call your voice back from the silence. I declare strength to your bones, fire to your belly, and clarity to your mind. Every dormant gift, every silenced word, every dream buried under discouragement come back to life now in Jesus’ name. Today as you read this you are not just being healed, you are being reinstated. You will no longer walk with a limp from old wounds. What the enemy meant for evil, God is now turning for your good. This is your commissioning moment. So rise, healers! Lay your hands on the sick, cleanse the lepers, deliver the bound, and set the captives free!

As I stood on the rocks at Pirates Cove yesterday, watching hundreds of people being baptized, I was overwhelmed by what I was seeing. History yet again was being written. I thanked God for the hunger that was present that day and the day before when we gathered - the countless people encountering the presence and power of God. Clearly, God is moving right now on the earth in a new and fresh way. But as I stood there, these words suddenly rose in my spirit - “He leaves no one behind” It rocked me thinking about the seasons in my life when I felt lonely, abandoned, and lost when people around me were experiencing the opposite. It’s easy in moments of heartache, hope deferred, and deep brokenness to feel like you’re the only one going through it. It’s easy to feel like others are advancing and thriving while you’re still stuck, and still broken. But I believe God wants to encourage those who feel stuck this week, those who feel left behind in the past seasons battle and battle weariness and bondage. Those who feel unable to move forward because of pain from the past and the wounds it inflicted. God is not going to leave you behind! I’m reminded of the man who sat by the Pool of Bethesda because he couldn’t walk. “One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years… Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.’ At once the man was cured” — John 5:1-9 That pool was surrounded by people who were sick, lame, and broken down, all hoping to be the one who got their fresh start. And right now in the midst of revival fires beginning to burn and something fresh that God is doing, many still feel stuck. David said it well in the psalms; “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” — Psalm 13:1 And like David many are saying; God, I don’t feel like I’ve moved anywhere. Nothing has shifted for me. I’m still dealing with the same situations, the same lack, the same health problems, the same relational and family issues. God, have You forgotten me?” But just like the man at the Pool of Bethesda, God did not leave him behind. Jesus went to him directly, healed him, and gave him a new beginning. Think of the woman at the well. “A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’— John 4:4-7 She felt judged, abandoned, and lonely yet Jesus met her in that very place. He leaves no one behind. So I prophesy over you this week - You are going to have encounters with Jesus, where He reveals His heart to you in the very place you feel stuck. You’re going to experience the breakthrough power of God in your life, power that will shift you out of pain, brokenness, and those continual cycles of dysfunction, addiction, and torment. The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1 And right now many are carrying the spiritual bondage from past seasons and it feels like a massive blockage in the road but they just don’t know how to get rid of it. It’s heavy, it’s like a poison that won’t seem to flush from your system. It’s got its roots in deep but it’s no match for the power of God. In a moment the Holy Spirit can take an axe to those obstacles. Right now as I’m writing this I see them in the spirit like bricks cemented in but the Lord is right now shaking them loose! They must go! Every demonic spirit hanging around you trying to keep you tethered to bondage leave now in Jesus name! Shame go! Unclean spirits leave! As we were leaving the gathering on Saturday (the day before Pentecost Sunday), I met an amazing woman of God. I got to witness her encounter Jesus in a powerful way. We saw God completely set her free from a demonic assignment that had been following her around. Then, I got to take part in her baptism there at the famous Pirates Cove. I could feel it - she had felt a little left behind. I hadn’t prayed for her that day. Yet just as we were walking out, God ordained that moment. It was her time. I felt the loving compassion of God so strongly because I’ve been in those moments. Moments when I felt forgotten. When it felt like no one saw me. But friend He sees you. You are not left behind. I imagine the day when the believers were in the upper room. They came out speaking in tongues. Yes, some mocked them. But imagine if you were one of the 500 originally there and the enemy lied to you, and you left the room too soon. You would have missed it. “God, I’ve faithfully served You… and I missed it?” Ouch… that is it right there. So many people feel like that right now. But the Lord wants you to know - You are seen. You are not forgotten. He will not leave you behind. Right now, He is rescuing you from the grip of that past season and ushering you into a new one even as you read these words. I command every chain, every tie to your past that’s held you back to break NOW in the mighty name of Jesus. And I pray that ALL yokes break off your life, and that the Holy Spirit fills your heart and cup anew in Jesus’ name. Now watch this week as God reveals himself to you in a new way. Through dreams. God kisses. Signs of His goodness. Your old chapter has ended. It’s time to step into the new.

I believe we are in a window of time right now where God is turning the institutional church back into a hospital again. Just this sentence alone feels like a deep branding upon my heart because I’ve seen it in dreams increasing over the last year - a wounded and battered church and a bound world, but who will restore them? Recently, the Lord spoke to me through a personal experience. I had to go to the dentist for some intense tooth pain, and after visiting two different places neither would fix the issue. I knew there was something prophetic in it. Then the Lord said to me, “Many of my sick, broken, and demonized have been coming into churches, but they are not being delivered or set free.” Ah...there it was. But right now, God is raising up the healers again In a time when the earth more than ever before needs to see the rise of a healing church, a hospital church. Right now God is flipping the script on many ministries and institutions that have been focused on everything but the basics. We have not been doing what Luke 4:18-19 or Matthew 10:8-10 commands us to do. We have not been cleansing the lepers or healing the sick. We’ve drifted from the core of the great commission. The enemy has led us into side paths that do not transform people’s lives. But God is placing a fresh compassion on the Church and is renewing our love for people that sets people free. “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” — Matthew 4:14 If the enemy can make us love ministry more than we love people, if he can trap us in the idolatry of ministry we will fall out of love with the very ones we’re called to serve. Ouch! Yes, we will stop loving people, even though we’re still doing ministry technically but we have lost our true love that enables the power of God to come. And I’m not talking about a love that coddles people in their sin, tolerates demons, or keeps people brainwashed and yoked to false ideologies and fractured identities. I’m talking about the kind of love that walks hand in hand with truth, that drives out demons, and that stands at the crossroads and warns, “That’s not the way!” We need the kind of love that speaks straight and delivers people. Jesus walked in that kind of love. It was compassion that moved Him to perform great miracles. That’s what’s been missing in the Church. We’ve lost our compassion for people. We’ve lost our genuine love. We’re doing ministry for stats, KPIs, content, and reputation. Churches are trying to fill seats, recruit members, and collect tithes while people walk into our buildings bound, broken, addicted, demonized, and they are not being set free. But right now that is changing. The boardroom is being converted to an ER again! As we were leaving Pirate’s Cove on Saturday, the most powerful part of the day was still to come. Just after 6 p.m as the tide was in, a girl came up crying. Her friend asked if I could pray for her, and I did. As I prayed, I could tell she was under serious oppression, and for a few minutes, nothing shifted. But I refused to leave her the way she came. I asked the Lord what was happening. Instantly, I saw her life like a book. I saw shame and pain from the situations she’d walked through. Then I felt the intense love of the Father for her, and He said to me, “Tell her she is pure.” As soon as I said those words, she began to cough uncontrollably until the unclean spirit left. Then she asked to be baptized right there at Pirate’s Cove. It was a victory moment for her, but it was also a marking moment for me. I couldn’t understand at first why it impacted me so deeply. I’ve seen situations like this many times before. I never take them for granted, but this one felt profound. I realized later that it was God speaking loudly through this encounter. Right now, something fresh is happening around the earth. God is showing up in power. The Church is shaking off her chains and becoming who she was always meant to be. There’s an uprising - a movement leaving behind Christianity as usual. But it’s something much holier than we’ve seen before, and we’ll miss it if we’re not paying attention. God is after the broken and the lost. He’s leaving the ninety-nine for the one. He’s flipping the enemy’s lies and calling what was tainted, pure again. Lou Engle once asked, “What if California was the adulterous woman Jesus redeemed?” That day, as I prophesied, I heard myself say, “What if California is the woman at the well, waiting for a church to call her clean?” We have cursed our cities, our states, and our nations as though they are too far gone. But they are only one word away from redemption if the Church would only see God’s heart in the middle of the chaos. This is a time where we must walk in powerful truth and real love. Without both, the Church fails. Weak Christianity is afraid of offending people, so it keeps them bound in the name of kindness. Truth alone might drive out demons, but without love, it doesn’t draw the broken into intimacy with God. We are standing on the edge of something monumental, a move of God that is raw, wild, unpolished, and simple. As it says in Luke 4:18 - 19, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” The days of the hospital church have begun. The days of power are returning. And the days of God’s love driving out darkness are here again. This is our call, to speak what the enemy has called unclean and declare it pure. That is our mandate. Now, let me speak directly to the healers. You know who you are. You know that God has marked you for miracles, signs, and wonders. You’ve known that you’re called to be His healing hands in this moment. But you’ve felt disqualified. You look at your life and feel broken. You’ve fallen. You still need healing. You feel like something inside of you is tainted or poisoned by the last few years of hard battle. You’ve been heavy in your soul, discouraged, and weary. That has been the enemy’s strategy all along, to wear down the healers. To bombard the ones called to bring true deliverance. And because of that, we’ve seen the rise of false deliverance ministries, false healers, counterfeit prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ve stepped into a vacuum because the real healers have been under attack and haven’t yet risen up. But I believe that this moment is a call to the healers to rise again. It’s time to step back into your calling. I had a vision of someone’s legs and I knew this was a prophetic picture of the healers. They were twisted and deformed and decommissioned. And the Lord said to me, “Speak strength to their legs. Speak strength to their backs. Speak strength to their bones.” Suddenly, in the vision, the legs straightened out and they were standing to their feet! I declare the same over you - that every part of your life that has felt out of place, twisted, wounded, or weary, let it be healed and realigned with the hope and truth of God. Healers, rise up. Get your strength back. Get your compassion back. Be healed and take your place. It is time to walk again in the power of God and the compassion of Jesus. So now, in the name of Jesus, I speak to every healer, every deliverer, every voice and vessel who has been marked by God for miracles, but has felt crushed under the weight of shame, warfare, disappointment, or disqualification. I declare over you - this is your resurrection moment. Where the enemy has tainted you, twisted your story, and tried to convince you that you are unclean or unworthy, I now declare by the blood of Jesus that you are being made clean. The stain of the past, the trauma, the compromise, and the confusion is being washed off of you in this moment. I speak a cleansing over your mind, your body, your heart, and your history. The blood still speaks a better word over you. Let every accusation from hell be silenced right now. I call your mantle out of the ashes. I call your voice back from the silence. I declare strength to your bones, fire to your belly, and clarity to your mind. Every dormant gift, every silenced word, every dream buried under discouragement come back to life now in Jesus’ name. Today as you read this you are not just being healed, you are being reinstated. You will no longer walk with a limp from old wounds. What the enemy meant for evil, God is now turning for your good. This is your commissioning moment. So rise, healers! Lay your hands on the sick, cleanse the lepers, deliver the bound, and set the captives free!

It’s easy in moments of heartache, hope deferred, and deep brokenness to feel like you’re the only one going through it. It’s easy to feel like others are advancing and thriving while you’re still stuck, and still broken. But I believe God wants to encourage those who feel stuck this week, those who feel left behind in the past seasons battle and battle weariness and bondage. Those who feel unable to move forward because of pain from the past and the wounds it inflicted. God is not going to leave you behind! I’m reminded of the man who sat by the Pool of Bethesda because he couldn’t walk. “One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years… Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get up!

I have some encouragement for the pioneers. Over the last few weeks, I’ve kept hearing this language - that we are at thresholds of faith. What is a threshold? A threshold is defined as: the point of entering or beginning something new. So, what is a threshold of faith? A threshold of faith is a place you come to when you can no longer keep operating or living within the confines of your previous limitations. God is leading you into a significant breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what’s coming. Thresholds of faith at first feel like pressure. They feel emotionally triggering. They feel like the enemy is warring against your mind. It can feel even feel like a rollercoaster of soul highs and lows as God brings precious things to the surface to free you and lighten you. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy is trying to keep you lower. God is calling you to fly like an eagle, while the enemy wants to keep you grounded with the turkeys. In this calling we go from glory to glory with God (2 Corinthians 3:18). So He’s always leading us into greater levels of truth about who we are and about our calling as sons and daughters, as leaders, and as fathers and mothers. There are always deeper dimensions of capacity, anointing, character, and fruit that we are meant to walk in. So we go through thresholds of faith not because something is wrong or because things are falling apart, but because we’ve asked Him for more. This pressure is the very thing we’ve been praying for. But we often forget - before breakthrough comes, God upgrades our internal operating system. If He brings us into breakthrough without transformation, we’ll crash and burn. The issue is that In this consumer-Christian culture we’ve inherited, we want our circumstances to change, but we often resist the internal transformation required. We avoid deliverance. We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name!

One of the greatest epidemics of the church is breaking right now. And as we start this week, I want to pray over you and prophesy into your life especially if you’ve been isolated by the enemy or been in a season of feeling very disconnected from other believers and from people. If you’ve seen attack and warfare on your relationships, marriages, your kids, and those around you… If you’ve gone through season-after-season of wrong alignments, unhealthy coverings, Sauls instead of fathers & mothers, all while being surrounded by wolves... Or if you’ve just been rejected over and over again, and it’s sent you into isolation. I believe the Lord is speaking to us all in this season. I believe we are seeing a spiritual movement both on a micro and a macro level right now to shift this tide. We’re seeing the Lord expose an assignment that has been allowed and tolerated in the body of Christ for too long. That assignment is isolation. It’s a tactic of the Jezebel spirit, one that has hidden easily within the institutional church paradigm and its thrived within the current culture of the church. But the Lord is weeding it out, exposing it, and bringing us back into the revelation of family and belonging. That truth is counteracting and unloosing the bonds of this demonic principality because people are no longer interested in a nice sermon if they have to go home and be alone in the week. This spirit has worked overtime on us. It’s a principality that hasn’t just broken apart the body of Christ into factions and denominations. It’s also stopped the most powerful voices, those carrying truth, and authority from rising into their place. It’s created a cancel culture within the church. An isolation culture. It’s created antisocial behavioral norms within the church, and we’ve accepted it for too long. But I prophesy today - That is all shifting. I prophesy it’s shifting over your life most importantly. As I was praying into this, I asked the Lord why Jezebel seems so invested in creating this kind of division and isolation. And He said that Jezebel recognizes the power and anointing that comes when the church walks in unity. That’s the macro. The Jezebel spirit knows that when believers support one another, when we link arms, there is an anointing that is unleashed. Because if it can isolate - it can assassinate. Let me say that again - If Jezebel can isolate, it can assassinate. Why do you think so many people can attend church on a Sunday and still feel utterly alone? Why is it accepted that we go to events and meetings and conferences, but still lack genuine connection? The church has often wrapped mission in religious activity, while relational connection, the very essence of family has been lost. It’s led us into pain and deep spiritual disconnection. And it’s time for this to shift. As I continued to pray, the Lord reminded me of the seasons in my own life where this spirit came after us again and again. I remembered being in churches where the nature of our calling led to sudden rejection, pushing us out of community. I remembered delivering a warning word to leaders, and immediately being outcast. I remembered being in a toxic work environment, where a Jezebel-influenced boss physically isolated me in a separate building so she could bully me. And I remembered the many times this happened in ministry spaces. It’s happened over and over again and we have all become used to it. We’ve learned to operate alone. And we’ve called it “normal” ministry life. We say the church is a family, but so many have lived as lone rangers even inside a church setting. But this is breaking now! Look at Elijah in 1 Kings 18. Jezebel threatens him. And he runs for his life. He hides in fear. He isolates. And even though God looks after him, there are a few things that take place in that moment that I believe the Lord is highlighting now as a blueprint for us. First, Elijah is fed. I see this in a few lights - one as the fresh manna from heaven and sustenance building him up again. Secondly, in light of the breaking bread of Acts 2 pointing to God leading him out of isolation. And thirdly as the bread of deliverance. Next he’s reminded of the still-small-voice because fear had drowned it out. In isolation and fear, the voice of the Lord pulls us out because we are so bombarded by lies and it’s the enemies lies that keep us there. Right now the lies that sent you there need to be broken. Then what happens? Elijah wraps his mantle around his face and leaves the cave which is prophetically representative of choosing to pick up what we dropped when we went through the pain of slander and accusation that led us to isolation in the first place. It’s picking up our calling again. Oh but it’s also more. It’s choosing to allow your heart to let people in after a season of being wounded. I believe this is the invitation from the Lord right now. To leave the cave. To leave the place of isolation. I know it’s easier said than done. I know many of you are afraid, and rightfully so. You’ve been burned. You’ve been rejected. But there is a grace right now to break this assignment of isolation and assassination that has put your gifting on pause and your purpose on the back burner. This is a season of finding your tribe. Finding the people who will lift your arms. It’s time to step out of religious, controlled environments and into true community. Into spiritual family. There is a remnant rising for this moment and we are linking arms while creating safe spaces. Pastors and leaders from all walks of life are laying their brands in the dust and choosing connection over control. It’s the Acts 2 core calling us back to breaking bread. This is the priority now. We are better together. Healthier together. Even COVID was a prophetic image of the enemy’s plan to isolate. But we’re saying no more. We will not let this spirit mute our voices or steal our destinies. We need each other. So I prophesy over you: This moment right now marks the breaking of isolation. Loneliness is breaking off of you. It’s time to find your people I prophesy this week you will feel something stirring on this front. A stirring. A longing. Your heart beginning to feel again. And bondages will break in the process. You’ll feel the shift inside and see it on the outside as God brings this into being. I prophesy - New environments, new rooms, new tables places you never imagined will open to you. God can do it in a short time. But I also challenge you , you need to step out. Start walking toward the community God has prepared for you. Because isolation is over In Jesus’ name.
