PROPHETIC WORD 8:26:24 - HAVE YOU BEEN SURROUNDED BY JEZEBEL & HER EUNUCHS?

Recently, I released 2 words relating to the life of Elijah and its parallel to the moment we're living in now. The first word I released was that rain was coming. The second word I released is that we're in a Mt Carmel moment. But in the past few weeks, I've seen a major flaring attack on the body of Christ from the Jezebel spirit, and it came to me: this is 1 Kings 19!

"So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely if by this time tomorrow, I do not make your life like that of one of them." —1 Kings 19:2

You see, we are in a moment when rain is coming, and God is sifting His true prophets from the prophets of Baal. We are entering a moment of breakthrough unlike anything we've ever seen in the body of Christ. We are in the era of the revealing of Jesus through a mighty people, and in that moment again, Jezebel has sent a threat to the camp of the remnant.

It is the threat of assassination and complete annihilation.

This is why, in the last few weeks, it has felt like there has been an attack from every single angle. Everything has become volatile. There have been threats, slander, and chatter, unlike anything you've probably seen in your entire life. The mental warfare has hit a place where you've just wanted to run like Elijah and hide.

"Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himselfwent a day's journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, Lord," he said. "Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors." Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep" —2 Kings 19:3-5

I love this story because it paints a very real and honest picture of what we all face in these moments. In this scene we see Elijah's struggle under the Jezebel spirit, where he feels alone, where he feels isolated, where he feels like he's the only one staying true.

It also paints a picture of a man who's seen God move in such supernatural power, yet when this spirit arises, he runs timidly and afraid. At that moment, God had to remind him of what his voice sounded like and who was more powerful. But the most important part of this encounter was hearing God's voice, which caused Elijah to remember the mantle upon his life and what he carried. He wrapped his jacket around his face and stepped out of the cave.

I believe we're in a moment right now where Jezebel has positioned her Ahabs, Athaliahs, and her eunuchs around you. Notice in the verse above that she "sent a messenger to curse Elijah?" She doesn't do her own bidding. She sends people. That's when your phone blows up. Your emails blow up.

That's when threats and slander come from all angles, where situations erupt from nowhere and set off a chain reaction of others that jump on the bandwagon and do the same.

We know that Jezebel represents a spirit of control, manipulation, and rebellion against God that seeks to undermine trueprophetic voices, destroy godly authority, and establish a counterfeit spiritual authority rooted in idolatry and deception.

Athaliah is sent to bring drama and contention and reinforce Jezebel's plan to make you run, bow, or cower to her viscousness. That's when things flare up around you, and you are suddenly surrounded by wounded and bleeding people who have given themselves over to their bitterness and project it upon you. But her real plan is to tear you down and expose you.

The Ahabs represent weak or compromised people, often leadership characterized by passivity, spiritual negligence, and an inability to stand for righteousness. Ahab, as a king, allowed Jezebel's influence to dominate, leading to the idolatry and corruption of Israel. In warfare, Ahab symbolizes leaders or individuals who fail to uphold truth and righteousness, and attack you with pressure to conform and tolerate her control.

Eunuchs represent those who are spiritually castrated—people who have lost their spiritual authority, power, and identity. They are those stripped of their ability to produce fruit or have a real anointing. Jezebel's eunuchs symbolize individuals who have been spiritually emasculated and manipulated to serve their purposes. They are messengers or servants who carry out Jezebel's plans and are complicit in spreading deception, enabling the Jezebel spirit's influence, and perpetuating her agenda over you.

These messengers are her enforcers, Those who sound like her but are simply her servants that curse you from the side.They're the ones who try to manipulate you and control you from every angle to keep you cornered. But all of this is to cut you down and to get you to give up.

Have you wanted to give up? If so, I want to encourage you this week.

If this is what you've been facing and you just feel defeated, I want to encourage you today to tap into the Jehu anointing upon your life.

That is the anointing that doesn't tolerate this spirit and sees it for what it is and begins to war and walk out and effectively break through regardless of the opposition.

Like Elijah, get in the secret place and hear the voice of the Lord for yourself again, then wrap your mantle around yourself and step out of the cave!

OPPOSITION TO WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO BUILD

But why is this happening now? Because we are also in a building season.

I've been thinking of Nehemiah 4 the last few weeks when Nehemiah was rebuilding, and Sanballat came to oppose them.

"When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed. He ridiculed the Jews. They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. —Nehemiah 4:1,8

Their opposition was a distraction. It wasn't going to stop what God had planned, but to avoid delays, they needed to push forward - they needed a strategy.

These were the two strategies God gave them:

The exposed places;

"Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows" —Nehemiah 4:13

Offensive building:

"From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor.The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other" —Nehemiah 4:16-17

I believe we're in a moment right now that the strategy is simple. It's not that we ignore the slander and opposition. It's just that we need to pay more attention to what God is doing.

It's also a moment to be complacent. We have to cover the low places. The areas where the enemy is trying to completely break down our lives. This means to take care of our foundations well.

To focus on our families. On worship. The word. Getting the battalion in order so nothing can creep in or breach our defenses. And lastly, to be on guard. To live in war mode. Don't do this lying down while God is wanting to rebuild you and build THROUGH you!

Yes we need to continue to build, continue to move forward regardless of the opposition that is coming at us. Because we are in a moment of transition, shifting from limitation to abundance.

THE UNLOCKING OF RESOURCES

I believe we're in the moment that we're about to see the unlocking of resources that have been held up by the spirit for such a long time.

The remnant have needed the resources to move forward that would begin to establish new places of God's glory in the earth.

Wildfires in places that would birth true prayer movements and true movements of God's presence that are not based on man's ambitions.

But there's been a delay in finances, but as we continue to push forward and build at this moment, we're going to see a monumental generational breakthrough.

We're going to see the hidden riches of secret places from Isaiah 45:3 poured out.

So my encouragement to you this week is keep going. Keep building. Keep defending. Keep fighting. Do not give up. Do not cower to this spirit.

But if we persevere in worship and prayer, we will see everything that God planned and established for us to build and accomplish in our lifetimes.

Remnant, we've got this!

RELATED prophetic WORDS:

I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF RAIN!

By Nate Johnston • June 27, 2025

I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!

FIREBRANDS, GOD IS PLACING FRESH FIRE ON YOUR HANDS AND FEET!

THERE’S BEEN A MIND-BLINDING SPIRIT WARRING!

By Nate Johnston • June 25, 2025

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

JULY IS THE MARKER - WE ARE ENTERING THE GREAT CONTRADICTION

By Nate Johnston • June 23, 2025

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