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

Last night I had an intercessory dream where I began to say "Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! Lord, bring them out. Bring them out of the wilderness! God, bring out the wild ones who have been in hiding. Bring out those who have been in death, those who feel like it's all over for them. Those who have been counted out, those who have been assassinated, those who have been robbed, plundered, and destroyed. God, bring out those who feel like they are being decommissioned. Bring out those who feel unclean. Bring out those who feel cast out and rejected from the church. Bring out those who have been silenced, muzzled, and voiceless, God, and anoint them! Put hot coals on their tongues!" Suddenly, the scripture Luke 4:14 came before me - “He came out of the wilderness in the power of the Spirit." And I knew in my spirit that this intercession was for the changing of the guard, for those who feel disqualified and broken because of what they’ve walked through, for those who feel like they’ve lost their anointing and strength, like Samson after his hair was cut. Then I continued to pray: "God, bring them out. Bring out the Nazarites! Bring out the new watchmen on the walls for the nations. Bring out the prophets and the intercessors, the apostles, the evangelists, those who have been in hiding, bring them out!" And I felt the Lord say that it was time for these hidden ones to come out of their season of wilderness warfare and torment, and they were going to come out with a fresh, hot coal on their tongues, to speak a fresh word of the Lord into this current moment in time. Suddenly, the dream shifted, and I began to hear the intercession of the saints. I could hear the tongues - a mighty roar rising from a generation that had been silenced and quenched for so long. I began to feel the birth pangs of the nations coming to a finality - a tipping point. This intercession felt like the midwife prayers of an impending birth of the nations in the earth. It was a prayer over the church, calling her to become the pure, spotless bride she was meant to be. I could feel the intercession of agreement with long forgotten words spoken over nations, cities, and regions, for revival, for reformation, for Jesus to be revealed in the earth. Then I began to cry out: "Lord, come! Lord Jesus, come!" Then suddenly, the prayers of the saints rose up in unity, crying out together: "Yes, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus, come!" I believe i had this dream because God is raising up a battlecry from the John the baptist, wilderness voices that are coming out of hiding to take thier post as the watchman of the hour and the fresh sound in the earth declaring “Prepare ye the ay of the Lord! So to the wilderness voices, maybe you’re feeling this. Maybe you've been through a season of robbery and wilderness - a season where it feels like you've been removed from your calling. But this is the season where God is bringing you back! He is placing a hot coal on your tongue! So if that is you today, I want to speak and prophesy over you: The hot coals are coming. You're about to feel a fresh unction. You're about to feel a fresh flow. And out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water in Jesus’ mighty name!

While the nations are in the pangs of birth right now, upheaval, chaos, and major transition, so is the church and so are you... True revival requires messy. It’s the oxen in the stable that disrupts man’s tidy plans that exclude the move of the Spirit, and shatters the veils of culture’s desensitization. And you are there right now. In the messiest of messy seasons, not because you failed but because you ASKED FOR IT. You cried out for breakthrough. You cried out for restoration. You cried out for the more of the Lord. Messy personal revival upsets the rhythms of your life that are no longer moving you forward but instead are keeping you stuck. Messy revival breaks ties and contracts and bondages you have been under that have been putting a ceiling over you and quenching your fire. Messy revival exposes the snakes in the grass and the places of robbery that have been depleting you and shifting your focus. Messy revival moves you out of limiting environments and causes you to long for wide open fields again. Messy revival brings a discontent for any sliver of complacency and religion you have tolerated. Messy revival brings death to everything in your life that is an obstruction to the “greater” God is wanting to pour out. Messy revival confronts and administers healing balm to places to deep seated trauma and pain keeping you in “medication” mode and staying in your sick bed. Messy revival redirects, corrects your steps, recalibrates, and sets your feet on the right path. Messy revival opens your eyes to where you have even in survival mode and going through the motions. Because messy revival comes primarily to set you on fire so you BURN again after years of warfare and walking through endless battlefields. And messy revival is here because God knows who you really are and what you are called to step into in this new season. It re-mantles you, leads you to surrender old manna and burn the old plow, renews your youth like the eagles, and restores the joy of your salvation. Do you feel it?

I woke up with John 11:11 on my heart this morning; “After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” I’m highly aware that God is awakening many right now that have been through the intensity of years of hard battle. It can break you. Dismantle your faith. Crush your courage and distinguish your fight and fire for the Lord over time. It can even feel like it’s de-commissioned you. But right now in a short period of time the Holy Spirit is dealing with the past seasons STUFF.. I wrote this, this morning; God sees your process and he isn’t rushing you right now. You have walked through alot and seen alot. Your heart has been through 20 years in 4 years so give yourself space to let Him revive you and reinvent you. Give Him room to clean out the hope deferred and cobwebs of the past seasons. Right now it’s all coming to the surface and He is tenderly scooping it out and breathing life back into your lungs. Soon you’ll wake up no longer feeling heaviness, anxiety, and deep unshakeable weariness, but it will feel like a valve was just flipped on the inside of you and out of your belly rivers will flow again. You’ll feel the pain and hardship of this past season and the toll it took on you mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually begin to lift as God OVERHAULS you in a short period of time. It’s an Ezekiel 37 - army of dry bones moment and it’s necessary so you don’t stay in your sick bed but are revived back to full health. Is this what is going on in you? There are great days ahead for you.. lean in and let the finished work complete the job. Can we pray for you this week? This is what He is doing; “who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:5 Lord I pray that you would renew their youth like the eagles! Restore the joy of their salvation! Bring that back into full health and joy in Jesus name!

This week's prophetic insight speaks to the current clash of kingdoms between those warring for legacy and the Jezebel spirit trying to hold onto its ground in a time of exposure and eviction on all levels. It’s a word of hope for those who have been on the journey with the Lord to break into a greater level of authority and victory over the enemy's schemes in this time we are living in. So let me start here: I believe this is a season in which the Lord is calling us into a higher place of spiritual intelligence and to take back the reins on the earth. They have been in the wrong hands. I believe this is a season when the Lord is giving back His power to the Church, but right now, God is dealing with the house of Ahab. The house of Ahab has robbed the Church of power and authority, which is why we have seen a recession of signs and wonders. The Church has been run by Ahab, but God is removing Ahab, and the drought will break over our lands. We will enter a season of glory once again. In an atmosphere of glory, power will return to the church. Signs, wonders, and miracles will be restored because, in an Ahab system, there is a brass-ed heaven. In this season, we have seen this brass covering over the Church, a ceiling caused by what we have allowed to rule there. But God is now dealing with the house of Ahab, and as He does, the Church will enter a realm of supernatural clarity and flow we haven’t seen in years. But how does this happen? FOR THE BLOODLINE BREAKERS There are people God has been raising up - His bloodline breakers. A generation - young to old whom God has called to break generational curses in their own lives, marriages, and families in a culture of acceptable Jezebel-ic influence and narcissistic dominance. But the purpose of God calling you, your family, and your marriage into this isn't just for your sake. While God is certainly working in your life, the most integral part of your divine calling is LEGACY. How do we establish legacy? We establish a legacy by breaking the dysfunctions and toxic patterns of the past that have seeped into our family lines, shaping the way we think, act, and engage with life. These dysfunctions are inherited not only from biological parents but also from spiritual influences. God has been working in your life, but there is a far greater reason: He is doing this for the church. God knew you could not break a corporate bloodline unless you first broke a personal one. You could not be a Jehu for a generation unless you were first a Jehu for your family. Does this make sense? Right now, I believe God is bringing decades of battling the Jezebel and Ahab spirits to a head. Many of you have been fighting this war in your personal lives, which is manifesting in various circumstances. Some of these may make you feel you have lost as if you've been through a warzone and have come out worse for wear. But let me assure you, it all will be worth it. This year, you will begin to notice that the battles you once fought are losing their steam. Why? Because whether you see it or not, you have stepped into your role as a Jehu for your family. Your strength has increased, and your spiritual muscles have grown. The Word of God says in Leviticus 21:15, "So that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am Yahweh who sets him apart." You have been set apart for this! Do you see it? Well done for battling all these years because it’s now coming to a head! Well done for being a Jehu for your family. You are now stepping into a season where you will witness the fruit of what God has done through your life, not only personally but in a corporate context. Did you know that the word of the Lord came to Jehu to annihilate Ahab and his sons? (2 Kings 10) We are witnessing this unfold. It wasn’t just about Jezebel; it was about dismantling an entire system. Jezebel created a subtle but powerful force, not only through her daughter Athaliah but also through an Ahab army, a mindset that would permeate the culture of the Church and dominate the world stage. In 1 Kings 21, Jezebel killed Naboth to get his vineyard for Ahab. When I think of the vineyard, I think of revival, the Jesus People Movement, and the place Lonnie Frisbee called a refuge. But Naboth’s name means "prophecies and words." Jezebel knew that if she could steal the prophetic voice of the Church, she could take the vineyard, and we would have to lean on man’s ways. That is where Ahab stepped in—a palatable form or derivative of Jezebel that would infiltrate the Church and establish idols of compromise and error. This is what the Church has seen for so long. That's why you've been on a take-back mission in your own life: to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab so you can be ready to be a Jehu, slaying the Ahab spirit and regaining the prophetic voice in your life and the Church. I’m saying this because right now, look at the battle in your family and the Church. It’s a battle for the future of our families and the future of the Church. Breaking out of the dysfunctions of Ahab’s system and beginning the vineyard again. By the way, this doesn't mean coming against people. It's coming against a spirit that has permeated culture. And that's been your take-back mission, to restore your bloodline and also to step into a place of being a Jehu that will restore the Bloodline of the Church. I want to be bold and say you're about to step into your shoes as a Jehu for your generation. You have pioneered well, and you have walked the hard road of not tolerating Jezebel. You are taking back your voice in the places it's been muzzled. This is why you have been on a mission to restore your bloodline from Jezebel and Ahab. First, to reclaim the prophetic voice in your own life, and then, to be a Jehu to restore the prophetic voice in the Church. LEAVING THE ESCAPE ROOM Now, let me speak to you about inheritance for a moment. Many of us have inherited the fruit of Ahab in our families and churches. It's permeated culture, and we've inherited its fruit. Yet we have been given the task of stepping out of that culture, stepping out of that mindset, and beginning to replace the fruit, replacing the root systems in every area of our lives that we've become used to. It's even been normalized in the Church. But let me say this very clearly: The Lord is bringing us out of our imprisonment. God is giving us the true inheritance that we are meant to have received through the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. Just a few days ago, the Lord spoke to me while I was driving, “It’s time to leave the escape room.” There is a very popular activity that people do called an Escape Room. They are locked in this room and must look for clues and keys to help them ‘escape’ before an allotted period of time. What was God saying? He wanted to paint the picture to me that our generation, young and old, have been on a quest to find the keys to break this demonic culture that has been killing our families and society. For us to unlock the prison doors once and for all! We've been pioneers of this revolution to break the bloodlines of what's been acceptable and normal in the nations and our families and bring it back to a biblical standard in our churches. God gave me this phrase because we have been in an escape room. We've been in this place that has felt contained, this place that's felt like a war room, a battleground. It's like we've been in this place where we've been contending for so long because we know there HAS TO BE MORE than what we have seen or been handed! It’s where people have said, “I’m tired of seeing suicide and addiction rob my family! I’m tired of seeing divorce! I’m over seeing moral failures and perversion!” So we're looking for keys, we're looking for clues. We're looking for those things to break out of that place. And in our nations, we see abortion-to-birth laws passed and gender confusion, to name a few. All these different things that are constantly going against God's plan and design. And there's a generation who were born right now to say, “God, that is not your plan or design for my nation or my city. Give me the key. Give me the key!” And I want to prophesy to you that we are in a season that the Lord is giving us the keys to break out of that escape room for our families and for this generation!
 We are in a period of time where God has given the keys to the house of David back to the Church. That is why God had to shift the Ahab culture that has been permeating every facet of our lives. It's so that David can get back the keys. And when David takes back the keys, the door of that escape room swings wide open. And we are no longer receiving the inheritance of that confinement and imprisonment. We're no longer receiving the inheritance of an Ahab culture but rather the inheritance of the Davidic line and the finished work of the cross of Christ. So let me say this again: you are coming out of that place; you are coming out of the escape room right now. Do you see it in all the things God's been doing in your life? He has been confronting all areas of bondage in your life. He's been pulling, prodding, and shaking things upside down because he wants to set you free in you r finances and your health. We have to leave the escape room of man's methods where we are constantly trying to do things to break ourselves out of what God can only break us out of and what the blood of Jesus could only break us out of. And right now, the Blood is speaking a better word over us. We are in a revolution of the blood of Jesus where it's breaking that which has felt unbreakable and where you've said, “God, you could never heal that person of that Jezebel spirit. You could never set them free of that addiction.” But in this season, because of your contending and your prayer, God is breaking them free, setting you free, and setting your nation free right now. Can you see it on a global scale right now, too? Where there is shaking, things are coming to the surface; things are being resolved and exposed on high levels because God is shaking the earth upside down. The glory is revealing that which needs to be broken out and exposed, and the light of God is shining; it’s shining into those places because God is bringing the gold to the surface. In this hour, the glory of God is being revealed to us and through us. LANDING PADS & OPEN DOORS So, in this season where the Lord is leading and summoning the Church out of dysfunction and out of those escape rooms, he's revealing greater revelation on what we have been battling for so long. What we're going to see in the days ahead is essentially a lot of spiritual assignments unmasked. And what this is going to look like in many ways is even doctrine and areas of beliefs that we've had that have sadly, for many, been foundational and cornerstone beliefs that we, as Christians, have believed; certain things that we've accepted and ingested. We're going to see many of these things unmasked as counterfeits and demonic assignments. The smoke and mirrors battle of our age has been demonic assignments trying to lead us to false virtues, false fathering, false comforts, false accountability, false covering, all those things that look like the right and authentic thing, but they're just counterfeits. They fall short. They're plastic. And so, we're about to see the revealing of these spirits for what they truly are, and in that, the Lord will then bring the Church up to a higher place of understanding who they are and their authority. That can only come by experiencing the genuine and authentic thing. So, as these spirits are unmasked, it will help us understand, and we'll have a greater awareness of the spiritual realm, the mechanics of the spiritual realm, and an understanding of what we are dealing with. We can't keep going into a church, sitting in the pews, and having a cushy Christian experience when there's a dying world out there. And you can't keep being robbed in your marriage, your finances, and your health on a weekly basis, paying your tithes, and going home to brokenness and chaos. No, those days are coming to an end. But the area that I want to highlight to you in this unmasking is what the Lord's been speaking to me as: landing pads and open doors. He's highlighting to us through all this shaking, where we ourselves have actually been landing pads to the enemy's plans, keeping us in further bondage personally and corporately. In 1 John 14:30, Jesus said this powerful scripture: “I don’t have much more time to talk to you because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me.” Some other versions say, “he has nothing in common with me.” You see, when there's nothing inside you that resembles or looks like the enemy, he has no power over you. That means you are no longer a landing pad for the enemy. And so, the Lord said to me last week, “Nate, I am removing the landing pads in your life from the enemy!” What I'm seeing is that we're coming out of an era of battling that Jezebel spirit and the Ahab spirit, but in that, God is actually revealing the landing pads and open doors in our lives, enabling them access. I'm talking personally about where we have things in common with that spirit, where we have things that actually cause us to be landing pads for those things. We are coming to a place of complete victory over those spirits. But in order for that to happen, God had to expose the commonality in us with those spirits and reveal the other faces of how this has manifested in culture in the Church and the world around us. For instance, to make this practical right now, we are seeing two faces of Jezebel. For so long, we've said, Jezebel wants to silence you. Jezebel wants to muzzle you. Jezebel wants to intimidate you. Jezebel wants you to be in fear for your life because we look at the passage of scripture about Elijah running into the cave. But did you know there's another face to Jezebel? That there's also the side of Jezebel that wants to lure you into speaking out of turn? Into being a bitter, angry, venom-spitting voice? It’s where Jezebel puts on a different face and, instead of muzzling voices, seeks to raise up voices with the wrong spirit. It’s sneaky because it looks like God’s heart... from a certain angle. It’s cunning because it plays on the pain and experiences of the hurting Church. But it doesn’t carry His heart. That is why Elijah had to go into the cave and be refreshed in his awareness of the voice of God and the mantle that he carried; otherwise, his pain and his fear would've sent him out of that place and deviated from his calling. Does this make sense? God, right now, is dealing with the landing pads and the triggers and the open doors we've had in our lives. He's destroying the commonality that we've had so we can step out of pioneering and contending for breakthroughs and legacy and finally taste it! So even right now, give the Lord any areas in your life, the landing pads and the places of commonality that you've had with the enemy, forgive those you need to forgive, and give God the pain and the wounds of the past. And lastly, let me say this. THANK YOU for walking this narrow road. It’s not been easy, and it’s been costly when so many are choosing to walk in the dysfunctions they  inherited and have leveled oj, choosing not to fight to break free. But you have stood and contended, like Hannah who was barren...you stood. Like Ruth, you stood. Like Jacob, you have wrestled with the promise even when it looked bleak or as if it had failed. But now, you will see the fruit of this long battle and lead others into the same legacy.
