PROPHETIC WORD FOR THE WILD ONES, REFORMERS, & JUSTICE FIGHTERS - THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!

PROPHETIC WORD FOR THE WILD ONES, REFORMERS, & JUSTICE FIGHTERS - THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!

"For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14

I was up early a few mornings ago when God began speaking to me “Here they come Nate, here are my wild ones!”

GET READY FOR A RUDE AWAKENING

“I have opened the gates and I have decreed that the time is over for those who been in waiting for this moment. The moment I have prepared them for is here, and now the earth is in for a rude awakening because my front-liners are stepping into the light. They are my movers and shakers and demonic stronghold breakers and here they are to usher in a season of the revealing of my Glory through my bride”

THEY ARE THE UNDIGNIFIED, CLOTHED IN GLORY, COMING FROM THE WILDERNESS

“Right now, I am bringing them out of exile. I am gathering them from all over the earth where they have been hidden and in waiting for a long season. They have wondered if I had abandoned them or if they would ever be used in the kingdom because they were never fully accepted as a part of it, but right now they are emerging in the world’s greatest moment of pain and the churches hour of desperation.

“They are my undignified David’s that care more for my presence and my will and my plans than the wise plans of man. They aren’t politically correct or motivated by reputation, but they have only one thing in their sights - and that is worshiping me and giving me glory. Can you see them coming? Will you have eyes to see them? Will my church accept them? Will they keep turning them away?”

“They haven’t been given a red-carpet welcome, but they will be clothed in so much Glory it will be hard to deny them anymore. The fire of my presence is all around them and they aren’t here to play games but to carry the torch of revival and establish my kingdom on the earth”

THEY AREN’T REBELS, THEY ARE THE RESCUE TEAM!

“Remove the barricades and the gate-checks, for they aren’t the rebels they have been seen as but they are in fact the rescue team! They didn’t quite fit the mold and they didn’t measure up to the standards of the institution, but they are sons and daughters who know my heart and know my house well. They have been in hiddenness for this very moment to bring HOPE to where many are prophesying hopelessness. They are the ones who have my eyes and see how I see. They know what is to come next. They aren’t swayed by temporary storms, but they are the ones that will point the way to where I am moving and what I am doing”

“Look now -  they are peeling back the veil and lifting up the curtain. They are speaking into what is to come and they live from that reality. If you want hope again, watch where they are going! They are setting the stage for the new production and unraveling the new blueprints and plans I have given them”

THEY WILL USHER IN A MOVE OF HOLINESS & BREAK TIES WITH MIXTURE

“I am using them to raise a new standard for my people. Where there have been foxes that have stolen from my people and their faith for generations, I am restoring faith. Where foxes have come and stolen the revelation of my abiding glory, my signs and wonders, and my healing virtue, they will restore It. They will point the church back to true north and clear the overheads. They will come with their hammers and chip off the pieces of rock that have been stumbling blocks and not building blocks, hindrances and not stepping stones. They are coming as a sign of the new wine and the beginning of a new era of my church. I am not shutting down church as we have known it, but at the same time the church will never be the same way it was ever again. What had to be shaken was shaken. What had to fall and die fell and died, and what didn’t have my Spirit upon it is right now breathing it’s last. For I am jealous for my bride to be the PURE bride!”

“What they thought was rejection from the mainstream culture was in fact my protection for an upcoming season. And that season is here now. They have been set apart so they could usher in a move of my Holiness and power. A holiness so mighty that it will reveal the thoughts and intentions of men and reveal who is for me and who is about building their own kingdom. This is a move of purity that is exposing the double-mindedness, duality, and mixture that has subtly crept into the hearts of believers and disconnected them from my heart”

THEY WILL BE THE BRIDGE BUILDERS & RESTORERS

“Their hammers will be mighty, and they will seem ferocious, but it isn’t out of rage but out of righteous conviction to set the record straight and RESCUE & LEAD the church forward. In fact, I am right now baptizing them afresh with a love for the church in all of her expressions and parts so that they won't be the demolition team but the bridge-builders. Like Nehemiah, they will grieve that parts of the city are in rubble and they will build and restore what has been broken down”

“They will raise up other builders and teach them to build the new while still honoring what has been built before them. They will seamlessly connect the seasons and the moves of my spirit and reveal the pathway forward for my pioneers to run in. For many have said “They are against what I have built!" but I have not raised them to tear down what I have given you to build, but to tear down the enemies work and add and increase what you have been building. I have given them an anointing to see the cracks in the foundations and to fix and address them”

THEY WILL BREATHE LIFE INTO DRY BONES, BROKEN SYSTEMS, & BURNT OUT MOVEMENTS

“And as they build, they will breathe life into the dry bones of dead and burnt out movements that religion tired out and caused to expire before it’s time. They will be revivers of revival fire and they will cause fresh fire to enter those who have been barely flickering and they will get a second wind to finish the purposes I gave them to accomplish. Broken systems will he reinvented and reinvigorated, and my spirit is going to cause wheels to turn where there has been no oil”

“They will especially revive the dead movements and dreams of those who were shipwrecked. They will cause hearts to start beating again in tune with mine and begin to burn with love-sick desire where they have grown cold and deeply discouraged. In but moments they will take the weariest, oppressed, and wounded of soul and cause their furnace to be ignited again”

“They will find the hurting and derailed fathers and mothers of previous movements and restore honor to them, purpose to them, and give them a reason to believe in the impossible again. They will unearth the gold in people. But to get to gold you need the hammer, not just water. The hammer and the shaking, but soon the gold emerges”

THEY WILL CONFRONT THE GIANTS NO ONE ELSE WILL

“I have asked the church, “Will you stand up and be a voice?” “Will you confront the opposition and advance the kingdom, or will you cave in and either maintain or retreat? The intimidation and assaults have been relentless, but I have raised up a remnant who will not stand aside when evil is at their doorstep. This remnant will confront the giants that no one else will. They will be the David’s that will choose to fearlessly face the principalities in the land and call it for what it is. They will not water down the gospel or sell out to win the favor or man, but they will bravely move in offence against the assignments of the enemy that have defied the church”

“Innocent blood has been shed for far too long in the nations and there has been but a few that have stood in face to true evil and given their lives to see it overturned. But my wild ones will not be those who back down, no, they will be like Esther who chooses to give her life to see every injustice overturned”

THEY WILL BE A VOICE WHERE OTHERS CAVED INTO FEAR & SPEARHEAD CAMPAIGNS OF MY JUSTICE

“As they march into battle in places that none have dared to tread before they will break open the way for the church to gain back ground and advance where we have been slowly shrinking back. These wild ones will be like battering rams that break open the way and will be the spearheads of justice that enter into new territory that we have not had influence in before. If you think you have seen the positioning of my people in high places you wait till see where I take them next. I am sending my reformers into the lion’s den and the leopard's lair for the sake of the outpouring that is going to take place on the enemy’s own campground”

“These wild ones will speak when I tell them to speak and they will not have a religious filter that edits or politically correct adjusts what I ask them to say. They have not been tainted by the fear of man and they will simply SPEAK, and the word will go forth. As they speak it will set in motion a domino effect of courage in those who have been afraid to speak”

THEY WILL LAUNCH WILDFIRE MOVEMENTS IN THE MOST UNLIKELY WAYS & PLACES WITH THE MOST UNLIKELY PEOPLE

“They will leave all behind this season to launch wildfire movements that have less concern for the tangible structure or program, but they will be focussed on the people. They will have an apostolic anointing to build quickly and easily gain momentum and I have given them favor to do it. It will look messy and foolish at the beginning but soon fire will spread effortlessly”

“And I will move upon those who man would not choose. I will choose who I choose, and I will move on who I move upon, and I am going to pour out my Spirit upon the most unlikely people in the most unlikely ways. So, get ready to see undeniable fruit from places that would offend the pious and self-righteous because I have come for all, not for a few, and I will pour out my spirit upon ALL”

THEY WILL CLEAR THE AIR & MAKE JESUS THE MAIN THING!

“I have given them an anointing that will be like a clear clarion call to the bride back to her first love and it will clear the air from all noise pollution and chasing vain desires and bring the hearts of my people back to me again.  Above all, my wild ones will offend the church out of her idolatry of her own brands and reputation and cause Her heart to return to me. My wild ones will usher in a move of repentance that will cause those who have veered off course to correct their path, the lukewarm to run to me, and those who have been chasing buildings and empires will forfeit them like crowns at my feet. They live for one thing and this is to point and lead people to me.. to reveal me in the earth”

THEY WILL OPEN UP A NEW REALM OF ACCEPTANCE & PERMISSION FOR THE CHURCH & RE-ACTIVE LOST ENCOUNTERS

“Their keys were stolen and it’s time they got them back! And I am using this remnant to remind the church of what she has settled for in this season. Religion has caused my church to forget how loved and accepted she is and the permission upon them to do what they have inside of them. But they will usher in a new season of permission to those who were squashed and crushed under religious red tape and protocol”

“The gates of my affection will suddenly fling wide open for them and they will see me not as a hard taskmaster, CEO, or head bishop but as Father and friend and suddenly every seed and idea inside of them that has been lying dormant will begin to germinate. Suddenly innovation and creativity will spring forth and hope-deferred will lift”

“When was the last time they boldly came to the throne? Religion has created a minefield of impossible hurdles to get to me, but I am not like that. It has created a mindset of unworthiness that has stopped people from encountering me and even longing for me to make them feel known. To replace encounters religion has instead made an intellectual idol out of me and I am removing it from the church in this season, and my wild ones will overturn them tables and restore my presence again!”

THEY WILL DISTRIBUTE HAMMERS OF REFORMATION TO THOSE WHO HAD THIERS STOLEN & RESTORE THE VOICE TO THE BRIDE

“They will be the brokers of heavens storehouse for this hour. They will be the ones who lead the church back into my domain and open up the forgotten storehouses of access and authority they have forgotten existed. They will take the empty-handed and hopeless into my house and put back hammers in the hands of reformers who had theirs stolen, songs back into the mouths of worshippers who were shut down, books and pens into the hands of the scribes, and restore the voice of the church where she has been silenced and voiceless. At first, it is going to feel foreign as they hear the sound of their voices rising again and seeing the powerful impact of their mantles upon darkness and injustice, but this is the awakening of my church in the revelation of who they are in me!”

THE CONVERGENCE SEASON & THE LEGACY OF LAID DOWN LOVERS

“They need to know that I am so proud of them. I know it hasn’t been an easy road to walk and at times it has felt like I have abandoned them or dealt them an unfair hand but NOW it will all make sense why I made them the way they are. THIS is the moment that every season converges together, and they finally see the purpose in the pain and the pressing that has turned into power and anointing to break yokes of bondage and set captives free”

“Watch them now running out of the wilderness, out of the hiding, out behind the facade of other roles that were limiting them and keeping them at bay. Watch now as my wild ones begin to emerge from all walks of life and all streams. I can see the look in their eyes as they are right now standing to their feet. This is worship to them,  not a task. This is the life of laid down lovers not the objectives of a servant. These are my friends and my spirit is in them upon them for this magnificent hour of the unveiling of the bride, the great TURNING of hearts, the harvest at hand”

PIONEERS, GOD SHOWED ME THE FRUIT OF YOUR YES

By Nate Johnston • May 8, 2025
I have a word for the pioneers today... Just a few days ago, I was walking around the house praying when I saw a vision of an apple tree. It was being shaken violently. And although it was full of apples, they weren’t falling off. I thought, Hmm, that’s interesting, the fruit isn’t falling. Then, I felt prompted to speak and prophesy: It’s time for the fruit to come. It’s time for the fruit to come. We’ve had enough delay. We’ve had enough confusion. It’s time for the fruit to come. As soon as I said that, I saw the vision again and this time, apples were flying everywhere. They covered the ground until you couldn’t even see the grass. I kept walking around the house, praying into this, and I knew it was the Lord speaking about pioneers, those who had walked through seasons where it felt like they hadn’t seen the fruit of their yes to the Lord. They hadn’t seen the fruition of what they sowed. But I sensed the Lord saying: You haven’t seen the next chapter yet. You haven’t seen what I’m doing next. And I truly believe this is a massive prophetic indicator for this season. Many have even been afraid to step into new assignments from the Lord because it feels like, God, how can I step into something new when I haven’t even seen the fruit of the last season? But the Lord is saying: Stop measuring a season by its fruit. As a pioneer and forerunner, sometimes you don’t see the fruit until later chapters. Your faithfulness to say yes, to do what He told you to do, that was enough. But now, you’ve stepped into a new chapter. You’ve got to release the old season. Surrender it to the Lord so you can step into what He’s pouring out now. Grab it with both hands. I believe this vision is also a powerful sign for this moment in history. There’s shaking all around us, and many are afraid of it. But don’t fear the shaking because it’s revealing the fruit. Then I went into a second vision. I saw large storehouses almost like warehouses lining both sides of a freeway. They were being filled, overflowing. I knew I was seeing the fruit, the fulfillment, the fruition of years of prayer, obedience, and contending. I could see the expressions on people’s faces “I can’t believe it. I never thought I would see this day come.” But it has come. And I believe this is what the Lord is declaring: You are going to see the fruit of it. It reminded me of Zerubbabel - the one God gave the signet ring (Haggai 2:23), the one who led the people out of exile and laid the foundation of the temple and also lived to see the capstone placed (Zechariah 4:9). He didn’t just begin the work. He saw it finished. As pioneers, we often feel like we labor and others walk into the fruit. But I believe the Lord is saying: In this season, you’re going to see it. You will see what you gave your yes to. Now let me speak into the shaking for a moment because I felt it was significant that I saw the tree being shaken violently. The tree was being shaken so the fruit could come. Think about that for a moment. You don’t have to fear the shaking when you know that the glory comes with it. And right now, many people are in fear in this shaking because their focus is on the wrong thing. The shaking isn’t here to ruin you, but to dismantle demonic principalities and systems that have oppressed you for a long time. The shaking is here to shake the earth back into order and alignment with the Kingdom and take back ground. The shaking is here to ready the church for harvest. It’s not punishment for us, it’s actually the sign that FRUIT IS INCOMING! And the shaking is right now producing what you’ve been praying for. The shaking is bringing you into breakthrough because you’ve already been through the breaking. This shift that’s happening right now is not a shift into doom and gloom. It’s a shift into bloom and increase. It’s a shift that’s taking you into the ripening, personally and corporately, because you’ve already been through the pruning. You’ve been through the fire, through the adversity, through the dark night of the soul where you wanted to give up, and where everything was stacked against you. So now it’s time for the glory to be revealed because you held on to Jesus through the battle. And God’s about to reveal His faithfulness because you were faithful. He’s about to reveal His goodness in your life because you chose to believe He was good, even when others walked away. You hit your knees when others turned back to Egypt. So today pioneers, look through the right lens. Get back your faith eyes. Shake off the doubt. Shake off the fear. And choose to see not through the eyes of foreboding, fear, delay, and hope deferred but through the eyes of hope again. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” Romans 8:18 FRUIT IS COMING!

SIGNS YOU ARE LEVELING UP IN THE SPIRIT REALM!

By Nate Johnston • May 7, 2025
You’re starting to notice your discernment sharpening - what once felt confusing is now spiritually clear, and you are trusting your spiritual senses more. You’re beginning to lose your appetite for entertainment and conversations that carry compromise, and what once felt normal now feels spiritually heavy. You’re becoming more intentional about who speaks into your life. You are choosing depth, truth, and alignment over comfort and familiarity. You’re beginning to feel less tempted by old patterns like lust, fear, striving, and insecurity and they no longer have the same grip they used to. You’re starting to recognize spiritual assignments early, and what once blindsided you now gets discerned before it can take root. You’re no longer taken out by witchcraft, gossip, or slander because you’ve learned how to stand in peace and stay hidden in God. You’re beginning to feel the power and authority you have over demonic spirits and strongholds because you’re releasing it right away in hard moments instead of hesitating or shrinking back. You’re starting to refuse to be bullied by people, manipulation, or spiritual assignments the way you used to and you’re standing your ground more. You’re beginning to see the thing behind the thing. Your discernment has sharpened to the point that you recognize what’s masquerading as surface issues. You’re seeing small but significant shifts in areas where you used to be bombarded and robbed, and there’s now fruit where there used to be cycles. You’re beginning to realize that you don’t have to defend yourself. God is your defender, and you’re resting more in that truth. You’re noticing the Jezebel spirit can’t lure you into manipulation, fear, or silence like before and you’re quicker to walk away from the drama and reclaim your voice. You’re starting to speak truth with boldness instead of apologizing for your calling, and you’re stepping into spiritual authority with more confidence. You’re becoming more aware of the orphan mindset when it tries to creep in and you’re rejecting self-pity, comparison, and the need to prove your worth. You’re choosing sonship over survival, rest over hustle, identity over performance. You’re beginning to notice that your spiritual hunger has increased, and you’re craving the Word, the presence of God, and purity more than ever. You’re less shaken by resistance and more aware of your assignment. You see warfare as confirmation of your calling, not discouragement. You’re beginning to recognize when God is promoting you, even when it comes through pressure or pruning. You’re not offended by closed doors, you’re learning to see them as God’s protection and redirection. You’re finding joy in the hidden place. You don’t need the spotlight to feel secure anymore. You’re beginning to respond with spiritual authority instead of reacting emotionally. You take it to prayer before you take it to people. You’re starting to feel a deep shift, less striving, more surrender. Less fear, more fire. You’re not just surviving anymore, you’re starting to rule. You’re not just reacting to darkness, you’re displacing it. This isn’t just spiritual growth. This is spiritual promotion. You have leveled up! Well done!

DON’T LET THE ENEMY ABORT “THE NEW THING” IN YOU!

By Nate Johnston • May 5, 2025
Have you been battling with a sudden wave of discouragement, and attack against the dreams you are carrying in this season? Does it feel like the enemy is trying to make you forfeit them by bringing distractions and voices of fear, intimidation, and caution so you don’t bring them forth? Are you even questioning if you heard right and are even doing what God has told you to do? Sounds textbook for what the enemy does in a birthing season.. Last week, I shared a word about how, in this season, God is birthing unusual ministries and movements that feel unfamiliar and don’t fit the old mold. Many are stepping into assignments purely out of obedience, even when it doesn’t make sense in the natural. These new expressions of ministry break away from traditional methods, and they challenge what we’ve come to define as “legitimate.” It reminds me of when we began our ministry. God called us to train and equip online, back when that was nearly unheard of. At that time, a legitimate school or training ministry had to be run through a church. Because we weren’t, we were labeled rebels, heretics, and lone rangers. But as we remained faithful through the criticism, God vindicated us. He proved, even to some of the loudest voices that we were going to obey Him, not a system and see the fruit from it. John the Baptist birthed his ministry in the wilderness. So did Jesus, He was affirmed by the Father at His baptism and immediately led by the Spirit into the wilderness. It was only after overcoming the enemy there that He emerged in power. You see, the wilderness isn’t a punishment, it’s often the birthing room of the most pure movements because they aren’t birthed in the comforts we are accustomed to. They take radical steps obedience to bring forth. Think of the Covid days where many hospitals had such high restrictions that many babies then were born at home because of it. It wasn’t the norm, but it became the norm. You see, God isn’t birthing the most potent movements in shiny and clean rooms, or boardrooms, but in the messy, the wilderness, the MANGERS! Right now, many of you have conceived something from the Lord. You’ve received a download, a vision, an assignment, a calling, but it doesn’t fit the current mold of ministry. It feels risky. It feels uncomfortable. You don’t have the full picture, just enough to step out. And when you try to explain it to others, you’re met with blank stares, doubt, or even accusations. But hear this: God gives you the seed, not the whole blueprint. Why? Because if He gave you the full vision at once, it would overwhelm you. And if you share it too early, it invites discouragement and resistance that can derail the very thing He’s birthing through you. I had a dream after our most recent gathering in Orange County. In it, I was in a birthing class like a Lamaze class and the atmosphere was thick with fear and nervous anticipation. One woman shared how hard her last birth was and how afraid she was that this one would be the same. Suddenly, a group burst into the room, laughing, mocking, completely unaware of the sacred moment happening. I shouted, “Get out! You’re distracting them!” And they cursed me and said, “What are you even doing? This is silly!” And I woke up with fire in my spirit. The Lord spoke clearly: In the birthing season, you must protect what you’re carrying. Like Jesus clearing the room before raising Jairus’ daughter, not everyone can be allowed into the birthing room. Here’s What the Lord Showed Me About Birthing Seasons: You cannot cast your pearls too early. Sharing the vision too soon can open you up to spiritual attack, discouragement, and mockery that wounds and aborts what God planted in you. Spies sent to extract information will come disguised as caring voices. These may be former mentors, religious authorities, or even well-meaning friends. But they’re there to gather intel to discredit you or twist your assignment into something more palatable to them. Jezebel will rise against it.. The spirit of control and manipulation hates pure, Spirit-birthed movements. And it will often use familiar voices, former leaders, influencers, or spiritual “fathers and mothers”to make you feel illegitimate, rebellious, or dangerous. These are witchcraft assignments in disguise. Provision may seem to dry up, doors may shut. Don’t let temporary lack cause you to question the vision. You’re not seeing fruit yet because you’re still planting the tree. Don’t judge the season by the fruit, judge it by the weight of the seed. And then just yesterday I received another confirming dream - a warning dream from a prophetic friend. In it, people offered Christy and and I the funds to purchase the land we’ve been believing for. But their condition was this: “Do it our way. Make it fit our mold. Make it a church not an apostolic hub” And bit by bit, they stripped the uniqueness from the vision until our friend shouted: “DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL.” That hit me like thunder in my spirit. Weighty, and smothered in the fear of the Lord. And so I say to you, pioneers and forerunners: DO NOT TAKE THE ABORTION PILL. Do not compromise the movement. Do not water down the mandate. Do not shift the vision to please men. Do not hand over your assignment to gain comfort or applause. This is not the time to conform, this is the time to protect, guard, and bring forth. What God is birthing through you is pure. It’s holy. It may not look like church-as-usual because it’s not. It’s the Kingdom breaking in. So as you move into this week, I urge you: Shut the door. Guard the room. Listen to the Spirit. Be obedient. You’re not crazy. You’re not rebellious. You’re pregnant with a movement. Birth it purely. Birth it boldly, and don’t be distracted, In Jesus’ mighty name.

WE HAVE TO BIRTH DIFFERENTLY RIGHT NOW

By Nate Johnston • April 26, 2025
To the pioneers and forerunners who carry the Lord’s heart. To the remnant who are no longer following where man is leading, but are constantly seeking the Lamb - This is a word for you. This is a reminder of what God is speaking to us right now as we step into the new. The Lord keeps saying to me: “Build differently. Build differently. Follow Me. Build differently.” And He is persistent about this because we have been so used to building a certain way. Our mindsets have been shaped by old paradigms, and old blueprints of how we’ve done kingdom and ministry. But as we step into the new things God has placed in our hands, the challenge we will face is confronting the old mindsets. We will wrestle with old patterns, old methods, and old cycles, the ways we previously approached the kingdom, and God is asking us to break new ground and step into a whole new mindset and focus. The word over you is simply—birth differently. And here’s the difficult part; When you birth differently, many around you will say you’re doing it wrong. They will think you are being rebellious, foolish, or unwise. But unless we build His way and steward His mission His way, we risk birthing an Ishmael - something man-driven and powerless. We must build according to the blueprint of God’s heart, not according to proven systems and methods that have lost the wind of His Spirit. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) That has been the trap for many in the past seasons. John the Baptist built differently. He birthed his ministry outside of the city walls. He rejected the religious systems and Pharisaical traditions (Luke 3:2-6). He did what looked simple, grassroots, even foolish, something many would have dismissed as just a momentary uprising, yet it caught fire. John was preparing the way of the Lord. He was awakening people to the transition between old and new wineskins, between old and new covenants. It says, “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) John ignited a holy hunger for true kingdom realities that had been buried under religious systems. You, remnant, were not called to tame. You were not called to maintain the status quo. You were called to lead the Church into her truest expression of relationship, intimacy, and becoming the true Ekklesia (Matthew 16:18). This is why we must build differently now. Because as we build, we are also unbuilding. As you establish what God is birthing through you, you are simultaneously dismantling what has been unhealthy, dysfunctional, and demonic. As you build healthy communities, you are unbuilding years of conditioning where the Church was a clubhouse or a hierarchy. As you build healthy leadership, Davidic leadership, you are unbuilding years of Saul-like leadership marked by control, fear, and intimidation. As you build healthy mothering and fathering, you are unbuilding years of Jezebelic influence that has sat at the tables of our ministries. As you build healthy prophetic culture, you are unbuilding the orphan spirit and celebrity-driven ministry. As you lead people to behold the Lamb, you are unbuilding the false idols, false gospels, and false “Jesuses” that have captivated the Church’s gaze. This is why birthing differently takes courage. It takes faith. It takes complete surrender. This week, I felt strongly not just to deliver this word, but to pray for you that God would begin giving you clear dreams and divine redirections. He is going to show you where you need to build differently. Where you must not fall back into the familiar patterns of the past. He will give you dreams, conviction, clarity, and specific next steps. And as you step out in obedience, you will feel the wind of the Holy Spirit behind you. And I prophesy that He will surround you with the right people, resources, and everything you need to walk into the fulfillment of this promise, In Jesus’ name!
