PROPHETIC WORD - IN MAY, THERE WILL BE A SHIFT FROM STAGNANCY TO BIRTHING

IN MAY, THERE WILL BE A SHIFT FROM STAGNANCY TO BIRTHING


A few weeks ago, I had a dream where I was sitting by a stagnant pool and heard a voice say, “It's time to move on from the bitter pools, it's time to leave stagnancy! When I woke up, I began to get a download for the month of May where the Lord spoke about some key areas of transition and breakthrough that are coming.


BITTER WATERS WILL BE MADE SWEET


I feel like the most potent part of this dream is that the Lord is saying that in May He wants to lead those who've been feeling bitter or potentially bitter back into sweet waters. 


In Exodus 15:22-25 it reads:


“Then Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea, and they moved out into the desert of Shur. They traveled in this desert for three days without finding any water. When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink. So they called the place Marah (which means “bitter”). Then the people complained and turned against Moses. “What are we going to drink?” they demanded. Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink”


I feel like so many, so many of the body of Christ right now are potentially bitter. They have been through a long road of feeling just poisoned and bitter because things haven't worked out the way that they thought or planned that they would be. Many pioneers and forerunners right now are wrestling this tension between fresh impending birth and the reality of the loose ends of the past season.


The enemy would love right now to poison them, to keep them in this place of bitterness. But like my dream, the Lord is saying, leave the stagnant waters. You must come out. Right now I feel this call. We must leave this place. We must separate ourselves from all the things that are warring at us, trying to keep us chained to what didn't happen, the feeling of abandonment, and discouragement from the past season. We must move on. We cannot camp there any longer.


Interestingly, this month in the Hebrew calendar is the month of Iyar, which happens to be the exact time that the Israelites came to the same spring - the same stagnant pool. But what did God do? He made what was bitter drinkable. But after that it says:


“After leaving Marah, the Israelites traveled on to the oasis of Elim, where they found twelve springs and seventy palm trees. They camped there beside the water” Exodus 15:27.


I believe the Lord is transitioning us in the month of May from many situations and circumstances that continually keep us embedded and potentially bitter. He is bringing us into a place again where we will discover and experience the sweetness of the call again.


BREAKING TIES WITH THE STAGNANT


The second element to this dream, I believe, is where we must right now be identifying and breaking ties with stagnant places, stagnant alignments, and stagnant assignments. This is something the Lord has been speaking to us since January. The Lord is wanting us to discern the areas that are keeping us in stagnancy and leading us into further bitterness.


God is wanting us to make sure that the alignments that we have are full of life, that they are leading us into thriving, growth, and breakthrough. Any area or any voice that is accessing you right now that is leading you backwards, must be broken and severed.


So many people right now are wondering why they're feeling like they're advancing two steps forward and then four steps back, and I feel the Lord on this, that I must say, look at the places that are stagnant. What do you have your feet in right now that is stagnant? You cannot have your feet in both a dead pool, and also a pool of life. You must fully step into the place of life.


It's time to leave those places behind. It's time to sever the ties. It's time to confront the places that have been holding you back and step into life again. The month of May is going to be a time where the Lord brings you your people. A month where The Lord continues to realign. There's been an assignment of division that has tried to stop alignments. There's been an assignment that's been trying to confuse and frustrate divine connections and covenant relationships with the Lord in May is clearing that out and is leading you to your people.


HOPE DEFERRED TO TREES OF LIFE


“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12


I believe May is a significant month for the shifting of hope deferred. I know that for many years now, the body of Christ has been in a place of extreme delay. The enemy has played the same card that he played on Daniel when he asked and inquired of the Lord, and it took so many days for the Prince of Persia that so many days for the breakthrough to come;


“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.” - Daniel 10:13


I believe we've been in that phase in the body of Christ for many years now, where there's been extreme delays on all fronts. The enemy is just trying to hold back his inevitable defeat. But in that he's been trying to hold back the breakthrough, the open doors that have been planned and assigned for the people of God.


The problem has been that we have begun to think and ingest this hope deferred until it's starting to impact and influence the way we think and move as believers. It's starting to cause us to hold back and put the red light on things that the Lord is wanting us to move forward in. It’s causing us to begin to act in fear instead of faith and deep discouragement, and disappointment instead of fiery passion and zeal. I believe the month of May is a month where the Lord is clearing away the hope deferred out of the hearts and souls of God's people and is reinstating a fiery conviction and a hope that cannot be tarnished. I believe this is going to be a Tree of Life month.


LEAVING THE LIONS LAIR


Something that the Lord began to show me was that for many months now He has been in protection mode. He has been surrounding his people with His faithfulness and rescuing them from situations that they didn't even know that they were stuck in and has been pulling them and rescuing them out of them.


And I heard the Lord say, that in May we're going to see those kinds of rescue situations. We're going to see exactly where He’s been rescuing us. So many of us have been in situations that have been like lions' lairs, surrounded by situations, problems, circumstances, and people that have sought to rob and derail the call of God on our lives. But the Lord, jealously and protectively as a father has been leading us out of those situations.


He's been breaking us free from many chains and bondages we didn't even know that we had around our feet. I believe May is going to be a month of extreme emancipation as we begin to feel freedom and life enter us in places where we have felt subtle or unknown bondage, or feeling just restricted and constricted in places that we didn't even realize.


There's gonna be a time where God begins to reveal to us the permission and the freedom that we have to step into this new season without constantly feeling surrounded by lions and needless warfare.


THE OVERFLOW OF OIL


I believe May is going to be a month of increased visitation and habitation where for so long God's people have been seeking oil, but have only found small deposits. It's been a season having to press in deeply just to experience the Lord even in small measures. But watch as May begins to shift because we're stepping out of the trickle and into a roar.


I feel like we're about to strike oil. We're about to strike oil because the Lord knows that the time is at hand and we're going to step into a place of overflow again. Where hearts have been, hearts have been depleted and have been dry and thirsty. So get ready for the oil. It's about to overtake your life and you'll feel movement in areas you've not felt movement before, says the Lord and you will feel an unction where you've not felt an unction before, says the Lord and you will feel an anointing, a fresh anointing begin to flow where you felt powerless and defeated for such a long period of time.


Watch as My power, as My might, comes upon your life in a fresh way and you begin to prophesy like the days of old. This is a Joel 2 moment. This is a time where the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and blanket you and you'll begin to move in dimensions and offices you've not known before.


STRATEGIC BIRTHING


The Lord told me that the month of May was going to be a month of strategic kairos birthing. What is that? It's the birthing of things you've been carrying that have been preserved, and reserved for this time. Maybe you've been carrying something for a long time, wondering why it hasn't come to pass or when it will come to pass. The Lord has been reserving this for now for a reason that you don't understand until you begin to see how God uses it.


You’ve not understood that it was preserved for a time and a spiritual climate that it would be the most effective. So get ready to see the Lord begin to highlight and open doors for you to step into places of favor and influence you have not had in the years passed. 


It's time to see those things birthed. It's time to see the Lord break open the way in some areas of your calling that you began to feel would never come to pass.


LOOK AND SEE!


May is the month of look and see. I just keep seeing this vision of this plot of land, this empty block of land, a blank canvas. It's a time where the Lord is wanting us to dream again. It's a time where the Lord is wanting us to vision with him. Again, it's a stretch forth your tent peg season, but it's also a season of vision where the Lord is wanting us to physically, tangibly, and actively pursue the vision that he's given us, and to not hold back.


He's wanting us to begin to plan ahead for the days to come. We've been held back in so many areas. There's been such delays in so many areas, but by faith this month begins to activate that which has felt impossible to reach and begin to vision with the Lord again. I feel like even this vision specifically speaks to those who've been looking for land, those who've been looking to expand their ministries and their dreams by dreaming for locations and regions, and the Lord is giving them land.


In this season, this will be a time where the Lord said there's a specific favor on property. There's a, there's a, there's a very strategic favor on the Lord securing plots of land for his people. Begin to dream with him, begin to vision with him and watch it come to pass.


SPIRITUAL TERRITORY & LEGACY


While I'm on this topic, I must speak into something. I feel the Lord is arming His people for something in the days ahead, and that is territory. I see mission coordinates being handed out to the body of Christ, these people to take spiritual dominion and control over locations that have been in the enemy's hands.


This is a time where the Lord is releasing his people to storm the gates and begin to take back that which has been given over to the enemy for such a long period of time. Just as we're believing for the expansion of our ministry and vision, the Lord is wanting us to take responsibility and to occupy that which has not been occupied before in our cities and regions. This will be a time where even the Lord begins to highlight new regions and territories for people to occupy.


My advice to you, encouragement to you is to occupy those regions, to take them for the kingdom of God and to not hold back. Maybe there are specific mountains of influence and places in culture that you feel is your place to occupy. Occupy them, take them. This is the moment I feel like May is going to be a significant month of shaking and turnover in the media and entertainment mountains where we begin to see those that have been hidden behind the scenes come forth. 


It's a time where we're going to begin to see the movers and shakers, the reformers that God has been planting in those places begin to be revealed and we begin to see that which has been holding these mountains in bondage begin to begin to be evicted from their lofty thrones. It's a time for God's people to storm the gates and take those regions and places for the kingdom of God and not hold back.


FINANCIAL TAKE BACK & REPLENISHMENT


I believe May, is going to be a month where we begin to see the wealth of the wicked coming back to the righteous. I've been seeing in this Spirit for the last two years now, how the enemy has tried to rob God's people. There's been upset, turmoil in the financial market, interest rates going high, and it’s impossible to buy homes. The Lord is shifting this for His people.


Regardless of the market, regardless of what's taking place in the stock exchange and the markets the Lord is releasing, he's releasing a wave of provision to the body of Christ for a significant and strategic purpose. It's to fund the harvest that's at hand. Right now we're in a time of building and a time of increase, but many have been saying, ‘Lord, how can I move forward when I have, I don't have the provision, Lord, how can I move forward when I do not have the means to be able to build and do what you've told me to build?’


In fact, it feels like things have gone in reverse. I've been in a season of robbery. I've been in a season where it feels like the locust has been eating away at what you've given me. Now, watch in May as your banks are replenished. Watch in May as things begin to turn around as a wave of provision and financial increase comes. This is a time not to be stingy. It's time to sow. It's the time to begin to use your seed powerfully again. And by faith, because the Lord is releasing a wave of prosperity to you, to take you out of the place of limitation and into the place of his unlimited favor, so you can build and plant the things which he called you to build years ago.


WALKING THE NEW WAY


I believe the Lord has been speaking to me for months, about May and June being a period of time where the Lord was leading and guiding his people in the right way, in the new way, the new path that he had for them. Since January, we've been in a time where the Lord has been dealing with a lot of the things that have been distracting and robbing us from walking in the right path.


But I believe in May and June, there's going to be a significant grace to begin to move out of ishmael decisions and circumstances and into places of fruitful, beneficial circumstances and the new paths will be revealed. The Lord is encouraging us to leave certain methods and ways that we have been walking in and to begin to walk in new patterns and blueprints that are on his heart for the hour ahead.


It's gonna be a time where the Lord transitions people quickly into strategic locations and vocations.


THE ISSACHAR UPRISING


Don't be silent in the month of May, the Lord is unmuzzling those who carry the Issachar anointing to lead the body of Christ forward. But he being in a place of being silenced and squashed, this is a time where the Lord is highlighting those we carry language and blueprints on his heart that will lead the body of Christ out of places of stagnancy and defeat and into understanding the mission at hand and the strategic anointing to be able to practically know how to move forward in certain areas that the church have been stuck. 


We're going to see the rise of people that are having dreams and insight about things that we've never heard of or seen before. Areas that are going to break the church free out of places of religious bondage, but also we're going to see the rise of the Issachar anointing, especially for the marketplace areas where the church have been behind the ball on, we're going to see these Issachar's rise up to lead the charge.


BULLS AT THE GATES


 I believe May is going to be a time where the Lord is unleashing such a wild ox anointing upon the church that's going to awaken true apostles to their posts. I believe we're gonna see the emergence and the reactivation of an apostolic anointing that would take charge and begin to reveal signs and wonders back to the church again.


I believe it's a time where the Lord is raising up voices who are not compromised and who will quickly carry an influence to be able to lead the church out of places of mixture and compromise these wild oxes. These bulls are going to rise up quickly and they're going to carry such a favor movement around them that's going to begin to rearrange the body of Christ and cause the army of God, the E, to rise up and to fight where they've been laying low in the battlefield.


It's going to unleash such a resurrection anointing that's going to bring so many back from the brink of death and unbelief.


UNMANTLED & REMANTLED WITH FIRE


We've been in such a period of time where the Lord has been very jealously after God's people and removing wrong mantles, wrong associations, and everything that would limit his people. So many in the body of Christ have been under Jezebelic influence without even realizing it.


They've been living wearing Saul's armor and haven't realized it. There are whole networks and movements that have been silenced because they've been subtly under the suppression of jezebel's silence and compromise. But right now, the Lord is breaking the church free.


He's taking those wrong mantles off the church and he's saying the only mantle you need is Isaiah 61. And I feel as I release this charge of May over you, I wanna release this as a prophetic decree and importation that the Isaiah 61 anointing of Jesus would rest upon you and that would be the only mantle that you would carry from this moment forward. As I decree this every wrong mantle and every wrong tie that's been over your life, every demonic influence, every tormenting demon, and every distraction would break off you and you would enter me clutter free and ready for the call.


“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor  and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion-to bestow on them a crown of beauty  instead of ashes, the oil of joy  instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord  for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. “For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them.” - Isaiah 61:1-8

FROM WILDERNESS TO OUTPOURING

By Nate Johnston • April 3, 2025
I believe that we are in a season, both personally and corporately, where God is leading us through a wilderness, not to isolate us, but to revive us. It’s where the Lord says, “I’m pulling them out to deliver them, and heal them, and ready them for the next chapter.” I went through this very thing in late 2024, where I felt like I hit a wall and needed to get away. It’s the feeling of needing to go up the mountain and let God revive and reinvent your life under the power of His hand. It’s the longing to be cut loose from so much that has been attached to you in the long-haul season of doing kingdom. So this wilderness isn’t to punish you, but to momentarily cut the cord and loose your bonds. It’s a place where God allows us to search our hearts and remove anything that shouldn’t be there. It’s a place of stripping back the layers of a battle-fought season and coming back to simple relationship. Right now, God is highlighting areas that aren’t working, that are frustrating us, and that are leading us away from His purpose. These things are producing Ishmaels instead of Isaacs, and He wants to free us from them. Can you relate? We’re seeing this take place in the body of Christ as well. There are three passages of Scripture, that really speak to what God is doing right now. People are talking about Joel 2, and I agree. We are in a Joel 2 moment where God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh. That’s why we’re seeing dreams, visions, fresh prophetic insight, and the rise of a generation that prophesies. “Your sons and daughters will prophesy." It’s happening. But we’ve also been talking about Acts 2, which feels like the vehicle God is using to bring us into what’s already available. It’s not something new. It’s a realignment. God is realigning His Church with Acts 2, returning us to the original design, the original power, and the original fire. But here’s what I want to highlight. There’s another “Chapter Two Moment” that I believe we’re walking through right now, and it comes first. Hosea 2. Hosea 2 is a prophetic snapshot of the Church. A bride who walked away from covenant and gave herself to other lovers. God says, “I will allure her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.” Right now, the Lord is drawing His bride into the wilderness. Not to punish her, but to restore her back to intimacy. I believe what we’re seeing in the Church, the shaking, the exposure, the unraveling of man-made systems, is a Hosea 2 moment. It’s where the Church that once fell in love with the lights, the glamour, and the stage is now being wooed back to presence. It’s where God is saying, “Come back to Me. Let Me be your first love again.” And as the Church returns to intimacy, to simplicity, and to covenant, we enter into Acts 2 again. This is where the Holy Spirit begins to pour out in a fresh way. Not just on platforms, but in hidden rooms, families, churches, homes, and gatherings of hungry hearts. This is where repentance meets refreshing. Where the oil returns. Where signs, wonders, miracles, and healing begin to flow again, not because of hype, but because we’ve made room for Him. And from there, we move into the Joel 2 outpouring. The Joel 2 army doesn’t come from a distracted or divided Church. It comes from a restored, realigned, and empowered bride. So if you feel like you’ve been in a wilderness, this is your Hosea 2. If you’re feeling hungry and expectant, this is your Acts 2. If you feel the stirring to rise up and release the word of the Lord, this is your Joel 2. They’re not separate moves. They are one prophetic flow. Hosea 2 prepares us. Acts 2 empowers us. Joel 2 sends us. This is what God is doing right now, in the Church, in families, and in individuals. Let the wilderness do its work. Let the fire fall again. And let the harvest begin. So with that said, let me speak this over you; While it may seem like God is stripping things away… While it may feel like He is leading you out of relationships, assignments, environments, or even callings that once felt secure… While closures and endings seem to surround you… It is not to diminish you. It is to prepare you. He is removing the old garments. He is cleansing the residue and slime of past seasons. He is cutting ties with compromise and false alignments. He is wiping away the shame, the confusion, and the weariness. And He is handing you a new robe and a new ring. He is restoring your authority. He is clothing you in righteousness and recommissioning you in intimacy. He is setting the table for personal outpouring so that you can pour out to others. You are not being buried. You are being planted. You are not being abandoned. You are being re-aligned. The season has changed. Winter has passed. The sound of singing is in the land again. I prophesy that you are stepping into the days of overflow. You will not just survive this stripping, you will emerge radiant. You will not just be revived, you will be reignited. And from the wilderness, you will come out leaning on your Beloved, dripping with fresh oil. Let the wilderness do its work. Let the fire fall again. And let the harvest begin. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

WHY WE NEED THE WILD VOICES TO RISE UP RIGHT NOW

By Nate Johnston • April 1, 2025
We need the wild voices to rise up right now because we need to see a new covenant paradigm of the prophetic unleashed on the earth. We need voices that don’t just tear down strongholds and overturn tables, but know how to build what is pure and true. We need those with no selfish motives, voices that step onto the scene not to draw people to themselves but to lead them to Jesus. We need the wild voices because they are a reflection of the Father’s heart and release His intentions into the earth. Just as David, the OG wild voice left the wilderness, and his first call was to take down a giant. Wild voices decimate principalities as a byproduct of their obedience. That moment set off a domino effect that led the kingdom back into alignment with God’s purposes. -The wild voices restore worship. -They restore the priesthood. -They restore the knowledge of God’s voice. THE WILD VOICES DESTROY CELEBRITY CULTURE We are seeing a culture where the messenger has become the focus instead of the King of Kings. 1 Corinthians 14 clearly calls the church to prophesy and hear God’s voice. But instead, there has been an overemphasis on hearing from others while many believers have lost confidence in hearing God for themselves. The wild voices break that cycle. They lead people back into relationship with God. They tear down thrones, altars, and idols built to other things. They call the church back to the fiery altar of consecration and sacrifice. WILD VOICES ARE DELIVERERS As wild voices speak, everything impure begins to run. Nothing can hide as the anointing of the wild voice is released. All counterfeits are exposed. All false gospels and false versions of Jesus are revealed for what they truly are. WILD VOICES BUILD, REDEEM & SEE THROUGH DARKNESS Wild voices don’t just tear down, they build. They redeem. They see God’s handiwork, even in the midst of chaos. They don’t just point out what’s crumbling, they announce what God is establishing. They are constant broadcasters of God’s goodness and His hand upon us, even through trials. Wild voices speak with authority and truth. They don’t tickle ears. They say exactly what needs to be said while also releasing the love and affection of God. IT’S TIME TO BREAK THE STATUS QUO We have disempowered ourselves by believing that only a select few are called to be wild voices. But that’s a lie. We are ALL called to be the wild, undignified voices of God. Like wild stallions and brumbies, we don’t bow to the spirit of religion or the Jezebel spirit that loves to create a façade of spiritual authority. We don’t exist to broadcast what’s falling down. Even in the kingdom, there’s been a massive overemphasis on what is crumbling. While there is truth in that, the wild ones are rising to speak the new narrative and write the next chapter. The wild ones will prophesy what God is doing. They will announce what He is building. They will carry the blueprints for the new era. And they will hand the baton to those ready to run with it. ARE YOU READY TO BE A WILD VOICE? Have you been disempowered by the status quo in the church? Have you been afraid to step into your voice because you don’t want to fall into the same errors you’ve seen in the past? Are you still healing from past rejection and doubt, unsure if your voice even matters anymore? If this word convicted you, then you are called to be a wild voice. -Find your wild pack. -Begin your destiny again. -Pick up the keys and RUN. It’s time.

We need those with no selfish motives, voices that step onto the scene not to draw people to themselves but to lead them to Jesus. We need the wild voices because they are a reflection of the Father’s heart and release His intentions into the earth. Just as David, the OG wild voice left the wilderness, and his first call was to take down a giant. Wild voices decimate principalities as a byproduct of their obedience. That moment set off a domino effect that led the kingdom back into alignment with God’s purposes. -The wild voices restore worship. -They restore the priesthood. -They restore the knowledge of God’s voice. THE WILD VOICES DESTROY CELEBRITY CULTURE We are seeing a culture where the messenger has become the focus instead of the King of Kings. 1 Corinthians 14 clearly calls the church to prophesy and hear God’s voice. But instead, there has been an overemphasis on hearing from others while many believers have lost confidence in hearing God for themselves. The wild voices break that cycle. They lead people back into relationship with God. They tear down thrones, altars, and idols built to other things. They call the church back to the fiery altar of consecration and sacrifice. WILD VOICES ARE DELIVERERS As wild voices speak, everything impure begins to run. Nothing can hide as the anointing of the wild voice is released. All counterfeits are exposed. All false gospels and false versions of Jesus are revealed for what they truly are. WILD VOICES BUILD, REDEEM & SEE THROUGH DARKNESS Wild voices don’t just tear down, they build. They redeem. They see God’s handiwork, even in the midst of chaos. They don’t just point out what’s crumbling, they announce what God is establishing. They are constant broadcasters of God’s goodness and His hand upon us, even through trials. Wild voices speak with authority and truth. They don’t tickle ears. They say exactly what needs to be said while also releasing the love and affection of God. IT’S TIME TO BREAK THE STATUS QUO We have disempowered ourselves by believing that only a select few are called to be wild voices. But that’s a lie. We are ALL called to be the wild, undignified voices of God. Like wild stallions and brumbies, we don’t bow to the spirit of religion or the Jezebel spirit that loves to create a façade of spiritual authority. We don’t exist to broadcast what’s falling down. Even in the kingdom, there’s been a massive overemphasis on what is crumbling. While there is truth in that, the wild ones are rising to speak the new narrative and write the next chapter. The wild ones will prophesy what God is doing. They will announce what He is building. They will carry the blueprints for the new era. And they will hand the baton to those ready to run with it. ARE YOU READY TO BE A WILD VOICE? Have you been disempowered by the status quo in the church? Have you been afraid to step into your voice because you don’t want to fall into the same errors you’ve seen in the past? Are you still healing from past rejection and doubt, unsure if your voice even matters anymore? If this word convicted you, then you are called to be a wild voice. -Find your wild pack. -Begin your destiny again. -Pick up the keys and RUN. It’s time.

THE BATTLE IS FIERCE BECAUSE YOU ARE AT A THRESHOLD

By Nate Johnston • April 1, 2025
The reason why the attacks against your family, your livelihood, your marriage, your health, and your children have reached an all-time high in this season is because you are at a threshold. In late 2022 , I suddenly developed back pain that I couldn’t understand. I went to a chiropractor, who looked at me puzzled and said, “Your hip is out.” Confused, I asked, “How?” and he responded, “I have no idea, but your hip is out.” I went home, and instantly, the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel of the Lord (Genesis 32:22-32) leaped in my spirit because it was in that battle that his hip was dislocated. Jacob was at a threshold, not just for himself but for his family. He was crossing the brook Jabbok into his promised land. But more than that, he was standing at a threshold of legacy, his very name would be changed from Jacob (supplanter, deceiver) to Israel (one who wrestles with God and prevails). This was not just about his personal transformation; it was a shift for the generations that would come after him. Jacob’s struggle in the night was a defining moment, a battle that left him wounded but also marked for destiny. This is where many have found themselves in this season wrestling, battling, and fighting for something bigger than just personal breakthrough. THE FINAL STRETCH OF THE WAR I believe we’ve been in many decades of a shift, but we’ve now reached a crescendo moment, a threshold where the battle has intensified like never before. The last few years have been especially heavy, and many are at the point of saying: “God, I don’t know how much more I can handle. I don’t know how much more warfare I can endure. I don’t know how many more unexpected attacks I can face.” You need to know this is a threshold battle. This is the final stretch before crossing over. Many have been: ⁃Fighting and pioneering for legacy. ⁃Warring for the promise over their family, ministry, and destiny. ⁃Contending for the shifting out of an old wineskin and stepping into something new. But because it has gone on for so long, many are growing weary. Some feel stuck, tired of fighting, yet unable to see the breakthrough they have been pressing toward. This season is about moving from breaking ground to being established. It’s for those called to lead their families and the Body of Christ into a place of true health, true wholeness, and true transformation, a place we have longed for but not yet fully seen. THE CROSSING OVER IS HERE I feel strongly that this threshold is about to be crossed. I believe we are stepping out of constant contention, constant warfare, and constant survival mode into a place where: ⁃Freedom will be the norm. ⁃Health will be the norm. ⁃Peace in marriages and families will be the norm. ⁃Being above constant warfare will be the norm. ⁃Thriving financially will be the norm. ⁃Living free from jezebel and narcissism will be the norm. I know this battle has been intense. I know it has been draining, financially, emotionally, spiritually. I know many feel depleted in their strength, joy, and hope. But hear the Lord today: “Tell them: Don’t give up!” Some of you have been battling intensely in your marriage. Others have been warring for your children, your household, and your future. It has reached a breaking point where you feel like your strength is gone, and hope is slipping away. But today, the Lord is saying: “By faith, step over that brook!” Just as Jacob stepped over the Jabbok and left his old identity behind, you are stepping over the place of separation between the old and the new. “You are about to see My power! You are about to see My ability! You are about to see Me shift you out of the dysfunctions of generations past and lead you into health and wholeness!” The Lord says today: I will bring your prodigals home. I will awaken the sleeping. I will restore your everything that the locusts have devoured in these past years. I will renew your strength and joy. And I will FINISH WHAT I PROMISED YOU YEARS AGO! As I’m writing this I feel like the Lord is saying that it’s time for those issues and battles against family to be finalised. -Family court issues. -Prodigal issues -Drug addiction -Marriage and infidelity issues -Financial issues -Lost or red taped inheritances -Generational health issues -Generational mental health issues. TO THE PIONEERS OF FAMILY And lastly, It’s been on my heart today to simply say Thankyou for your yes in the last 1-15 years. In a world chasing success and notoriety, money, and things. You chose to pursue health. To pursue Jesus. Even in the Christian world often deeply influenced by culture and tainted by those same vain and worthless ventures, you chose a different road. Again, you chose the less popular thing, you chose health. You chose Jesus. You chose legacy over appearance and reputation, because let’s be honest, it’s been costly to go this way. It’s been a road of unravelling and pulling back the layers of dysfunctions of many generations. It’s been a road of living on the altar and constant refinery and heart pruning to come out the orphan spirit and starting your sonship story. It’s been a road of warfare and battling to leave the pit of trauma, triggers, and narcissistic norms for the sake of your family and your children. It’s been a road of choosing the long game over bandaiding pain and putting a Christian sticker on it. You chose legacy. You chose to stand up and give your life for what God had in mind for your own family even though you knew it would be a minefield and difficult threshold to cross. Yet you said yes. And while maybe you are still mid way and yet to see the fruit of this calling. You are further than you realise. And the Father is so proud of you. And I feel like today the Lord wants to say over you; “In the next few years you will shift from battle focus to REAPING what you have sown!” “You will shift from warfare and drama to being the Joshua’s and way-makers of this new era!” The blueprints are in your hands. Blood stained. Crumpled. They may not feel valuable but it’s a roadmap out of the wilderness for so many. So on behalf of who is yet to leave, I say Thankyou.. The threshold is here and you are stepping over it in Jesus name! 

ARE YOU IN TRANSITION OPPOSITION!

By Nate Johnston • March 25, 2025
Right now, many are going through what I call transition opposition, when God transitions you into a new assignment, a new role, or moves you to a new location, and suddenly, warfare, attacks, and opposition arise. It’s the constant barrage of nonstop drama, issues, and distractions, simply because the enemy is trying to discourage you, make you second-guess, and even regret following the call of God to transition where He was leading you. It’s the same playbook every time. As a family that God has led and moved around the United States and Australia many, many times, having now done two international moves, navigated visas, and all the complexities of moving with kids to follow the call of God, I can tell you: transition opposition is real, and the enemy’s tactics do not change. It happens before the move, during the move, and after the transition. The pre-transition phase is when the enemy sends discouragers from all angles, even speaking “thus saith the Lord” to try to convince you that what you’re doing is either an Ishmael, out of step, out of timing, or to make you feel like you missed God entirely. In pre-transition it can also come with confusing situations and mixed insight and revelation, or drama to take your eyes off the course before you. But the greatest opposition often comes when you actually step into that new place, role, or location. Suddenly, you’re not only dealing with the principality of the region you’ve entered, facing new giants in the land, just like Joshua and the Israelites, but you are dealing with constant and subtle attacks. It’s when you’re hit with incessant little irritations from all sides, all designed to make you question: Did I miss it? Am I speaking to you right now? I know many of you reading this have recently taken steps of faith. You’re doing your best to hear the voice of the Lord, but when issues arise, when your finances are drained, when sickness hits your household, when strife enters your family or marriage, it’s easy to wonder: God, are we alone in this? There are so many elements to beginning again, and the heart process of transition can be overwhelming. It’s easy to feel like you made the wrong decision. And let’s be honest, witchcraft often increases in these seasons. There’s slander, opposition, and people speaking against you. It can feel like you’re constantly under fire, like time-wasting distractions are popping up everywhere, draining your energy when you’re already exhausted from the move. But this morning, I was reminded of Paul’s story in Acts 28. He was shipwrecked, stranded, and probably questioning how he ended up there. And honestly, in many seasons of transition, Christy and I have felt the same way - shipwrecked. Have you? I’ve felt like I led my family down the wrong path. I’ve cried out, God, did I really hear You? Why are we shipwrecked? But in that story, Paul lands on the island of Malta which interestingly means “place of honey” And on his first night there, in front of everyone, he is bitten by a snake. “Paul gathered a bundle of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, ‘This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.’ But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.” Acts 28:3-5 And Paul does something simple yet profound: he shakes the snake off into the fire. The locals were watching, expecting him to die. But when he didn’t, they declared that he must be a god. This story gives us deep insight into transition opposition. Paul was stepping into a new land he had never been before, and that snake represented not only attacks and irritations but the principality of the region itself. And what did he do? He shook it off into the fire. So what does that mean for you and me? It means that in transition, we cannot be discouraged or distracted. We must shake off the witchcraft, shake off the slander, shake off the distractions, and throw them into the fire. We have to remember what the word of God says; Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”Luke 10:19 The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28:1 Yes, transition is unsettling. Yes, stepping into a new place takes time. But we have authority. We have dominion. We have the power of the Holy Spirit. And we cannot let distractions and discouragement deter us. And here is something I do know and have seen every time - God is a God of recompense! I believe right now the Lord is saying: Where you have walked through robbery, I will restore. Where you have endured pain and drama, I will restore. Your responsibility? Do not be distracted. Shake the snake off into the fire. The “place of honey” is yours! Occupy it! Doug be bullied! But I want to end with this warning: We need extra discernment right now. I’ve seen it too many times where undiscerning Christians embrace the snake instead of shaking it off. Some even kiss the snake, aligning with that which is demonic, tainted, and defiled in a new season. The enemy effectively poisons their well before they even begin their journey. So I’m praying right now for discernment over you. “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” 1 Timothy 4:1 That’s the trap set for those who don’t discern well. Stepping into a new season but allowing defilement in. So discern well friends! So in this season of transition; Be very careful who you allow around you and what doors you open. Be cautious about what information you share and with whom. Be mindful of where you cast your pearls. Be intentional about what phone conversations you have and what messages you entertain. It might seem excessive, but it’s not. The snakes are coming from every angle, but they cannot harm you, unless you give them access. Transition opposition can actually be your greatest season of multiplication and increase. So consecrate this season to the Lord. Treat it as holy. Treat it as sacred. And watch as God settles you, establishes you, and launches you into the new anointing and mantle He has given you. Now, shake the snake off into the fire!
