PROPHETIC WORD: THE HORNETS NEST OF SWARMING VOICES
(This is a word from Feb 2022 that came to mind this week because it is what i have sensed happening to many right now)
In a vision i saw a swarm of hornet's filling the skies and with it came a suffocating hopelessness and heaviness that were trying to yet again clog up the horizon.
And the Lord said, "This is what the attack of the enemy looks like in this hour. This is the assignment of the enemy in a time when I am pouring out fresh vision and fresh dreaming.
"This is the attack of the enemy to create distraction. It’s the swarm of words and slander sent to get them looking at the enemy and his incessant noise instead of what I am doing. It’s sent to scatter and plant strife, slander, and restlessness in homes.
"It’s sent to bring confusion, doubt, and double-mindedness over the vision I am releasing.
"It’s sent to divide marriages, relationships, and people building together.
"It’s sent to brood the spirit of madness and forfeit, over the hearts of those finally getting free of the battle season."
This hornet's nest was an assignment of the enemy to try to sting the people of God, to try to sting the people of God through witchcraft and slander, and a shout out to discredit people that would just be getting back on their feet and stepping into a new day.
This assignment was to come into sting people, so it would shut them down. "But this is an hour," says the Lord, "where you must stand firm, you must stay undistracted from this assignment of the enemy."
And then the Lord said to me, "And this hornet's nest is an assignment of the enemy to get them caught up in all the things of the world, all the news reports and all the different fear and propaganda going on in the world. BUT I am countering this swarm with peace and clarity that they will only find by running into My Presence daily! I will protect their minds and keep them free of every entanglement. For right now, your eyes need to be marked—your eyes need to be clearly synced with My eyes.
"I'm giving you Eagle eyes. I'm giving you eyes to see beyond where you have been—you've been in the wilderness, you've been in a dark season of not being able to see. You’ve not seen where I'm taking you but now you will see beyond circumstances and beyond even this season. Now will see how I see.
"So do not fall for these Hornet's nests, do not fall for the sudden fires and sudden calamities that show up in the world around you that the enemy is trying to get you caught up in. Do not fall for the fear-mongering of the world, do not fall for those things, but hold the vision that I'm giving you and run with it, and make it plain."
"For right now, I'm bringing deliverance to divided minds. I'm bringing deliverance to those who have been in two minds—for those who've been having one foot in the new door that I have for them and one foot in defeat and wanting to give up. Right now I'm bringing deliverance to those who have been living in trauma; those who have been living in a place of continual breakdown on the inside, but at the same time, grabbing hold of the new thing I'm doing. "And I say to you today, grab hold of what I have given you. Grab hold of the rope, grab hold of the lifeline that I've thrown you and do not let go, let it pull you out of the trauma," says the Lord, "for the days coming are days of wholeness, the days coming are days of freedom" says the Lord.
"And right now I’m breaking every trigger and cycle in your life. I'm coming against every area that has been causing you to be pressed, causing you to be triggered and causing you to break down and be unable to run forward. Because the days are coming," says the Lord, "where you will build the very vision that I gave you long ago, you will build the vision—not the vision other people handed you but the vision I gave you—the vision I handed you, the blueprint I handed you.
"I am right now de-cluttering you from every single hindrance, every single association that would cause you to backpedal and cause you to water down the vision I gave you.
"You're stepping into a new wineskin blueprint for your life, and you will not compromise that vision anymore," says the Lord.
"You are stepping over into power. You're stepping over into Kingdom influence and you're stepping over into fruit and fulfillment.
"Get ready to begin to sign contracts, get ready to begin to hold in your hands the very vision that you thought was passed over, the very prayers and the promises that you thought that I have forgotten about.
"The dreams that you thought you would never see again...
"Get ready to hold it in your hands for the time is coming," says the Lord, "that I will fulfill every promise that I gave you."

I have a word for you this week. The Lord says; “You are in a vision reset right now. That's why I'm beginning to highlight the areas in your life that have been crowding out my voice. I've been highlighting the things in your life that have been contaminants, flies in the ointment, stopping you from seeing clearly the path, the plan, and the purpose that I have for you” “For the last 4 years, you've been through much. You've weathered many storms. You've been through many difficult situations and dark nights of the soul. You've had many people in your ear that have brought DI-VISION and have thwarted my vision for your life. Right now, I am exposing all areas that have taken you off the path and off the trajectory of your purpose” “That is why, right now, you suddenly feel a discontent for the things you've been doing, even for some in the locations they've been doing them. That's why you've felt sudden discernment and red flags become stronger regarding certain people, alignments, and even mission. I know it's unsettling. I know it makes you feel lost. I know it makes you feel like you've detoured, but right now, I'm correcting your path” “Yes, in many ways, you'll have to look and realize there have been some Ishmaels, and there have been some places you've walked that I never called you to, and even people I never called you to. But do not fear and do not fret, and remove the condemnation, because I’m leading you back on track, says the Lord” “I'm bringing you back in alignment with the pure vision that I placed upon your life. This is a full circle moment where I bring you back to the place of your original purpose, back to the original dream, back to the original vision, back to the place where you come alive again” “Have you wondered why in the last 4 years it has felt like you lost your fire? You wondered why it feels like you've been toiling in vain, seeing no results and seeing no fruit for the plan that I have for you? It is because your vision has been tainted. Your vision has been contaminated. This has been the subtle plan of the enemy to get you off track and to burn you out” “Yes, weary pioneers. I'm speaking to you right now. This is the reason you've been weary, because you've been spreading yourself thin in areas that you've had no grace or anointing to operate in. There are even many that are in roles that I've not authorized them for. There's no grace and anointing for the things that I've not authorized you for, and you've burnt yourself out” “It has led many to a place of wanting to give up and run. But right now, I'm delivering you from the weariness and the burnout by leading you back to the purity of your vision. Leading you back to the purity of the original dream that I gave you, that makes you come alive again. It's going to feel like there are doors closing. It's going to feel like suddenly I uproot your heart from places that you have wanted to be secured in” “It's going to feel like suddenly I give you an unction to leave some of the circles and the rooms that you've been a part of. But it is not to rob you, but to free you, to bring you back to the place where you come alive and where you and I co-labor again with the pure vision that I've given you” “After the cross, Peter was lost and he went back to fishing because he was looking to find me. It was the place of his original encounter that his heart was longing for. And many right now are looking at going back as defeat. They're looking at it as a robbery, but it is going to be what ignites your original vision. It's going to be what brings you back to the place of experiencing my presence and my glory in a way that you've not known these last 4 years” “For you've only known depletion and burnout, and you've forgotten what it feels like to linger in my presence. You've forgotten what it feels like to burn with delight as my glory rests upon you, and you feel your womb shaking and trembling under the weight of my presence and my glory. But now you're coming back to that place, says the Lord. For I've not called you to be an intellectual Christian. I've not called you to be a Christian that operates by their emotions and their feelings” “I've called you to be a revivalist to the nations. And in this hour, I'm reigniting the original call and plan I had upon your life where I marked you in the secret place. I'm going to brand you afresh, says the Lord. I'm going to remind you of the words, the promises I gave you in that original encounter. I'm bringing you back to the place to reset your vision, reset your life back on track, to free you of burnout, and deliver you of every thumbprint and every bit of ownership that's been trying to rob you of your destiny or purpose” “I'm removing you from under the ceilings that you've been under, and I'm bringing you back into the wide-open space of my glory again, where you will see my kingdom. You will see what I'm doing in the earth that is untainted by the religion of man. I'm bringing you out from under the yokes of religion and the empires that have been trying to lord it over you for a long time. Yes, I'm bringing you back into a place of vision and dreaming with me again” “So get ready, pioneers, for I've already begun this work. I've already begun to lift the load, but the things that are coming to the surface of your soul are only to free you. I'm going to cause things to align in your life that don't make sense at first, but you'll see that it is I who is restoring you back to the purity and simplicity of relationship with me and the burning call for the nations”

We flew into California a few days ago and felt the Lord telling us to go to Pirates Cove to declare “Lord do it again!” That night I had a dream where I am holding a frisbee and throwing it across the waters to the nations in the direction of Australia. As I throw it I began to groan in the spirit and cry out “Lord let a new Jesus movement erupt from these shores once again!” Then I saw something begin to fly back at me from the horizon that carried a loud whirring/buzzing sound then I caught it. It was a boomerang like one I had when I was a kid but had sounded like a “bull-roarer” that was used by the Australian First Nations as communication. It was ancient and worn yet solid and sturdy. It was the boomerang of revival from the nation of Australia! Then I stepped back and threw it back out across the waters and declared “Lord finish what you started in the nations!” Then I looked out across the waters and then again, I could make out an object coming back at me and I caught it. It was the frisbee! This repeated itself over and over as I would throw the frisbee out and declare, and then the boomerang. What is the Lord saying? Just as in the days of the Jesus people movement where God used Lonnie Frisbee as the catalyst for revival that started in California and spread to the nations, there is coming a new sound of revival from these very shores once again. But there is another sound, and it’s the sound of the Australian boomerang and bull-roarer that is right now in its birthing. From the depths of apathy is erupting a new sound of worship and a fresh move of God from the shores of my homeland that is going to ROAR across the nations! And just as it’s been prophesied that Australia and America would link arms for an end times move of God, I believe what I was witnessing was the handshake in the heavens and the SYMPHONY in the spirit that is going to take place with these two nations that will then cause the song in other nations to come forth. The frisbee and the boomerang are primitive and humble yet both powerful and the Lord is saying through this that He is going to use the unlikely and understated. He is going to use the misfits and the outcasts for this move of God. It’s going to be grassroots and organic. Raw and messy. But yet it’s going to be the biggest harvest the earth has yet seen. Lou Engle also had a dream about this same thing in 2020 where he saw Lonnie Frisbee standing as a symbolic figure for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit, similar to the Jesus Movement. In the dream Frisbee said, “There’s going to be another Jesus Movement, only this time it’s going to be with signs and wonders.” Lou felt the Lord impressing upon him that, just as Frisbee had been a key player in the revival of the 1960s and 70s, God was preparing to use a new generation of people—those who felt disqualified or broken—to bring about a fresh wave of revival. What if we were right now on the precipice of a revolution once again? What if the Holy Spirit is saying “The sound of revival is emerging from the midst of ruins!” There’s never been a better time for it. DO IT AGAIN LORD!

When we landed in Australia in April this year, I kept hearing a phrase in my spirit: “We're in the early hours of revival.” A week later, the Lord spoke it to me in a different way: “We're in the early hours of labor.” Many women know what this feels like—the pain, the pressure, the discomfort, and the fear of the unknown. But in a spiritual sense, the "early hours of birth" represents the beginning of a significant new phase, breakthrough, or change. It’s a time of preparation, anticipation, and the first signs of new life or a new season. This is what many are feeling right now—that uncomfortable tension between expectation and discomfort. It’s not time to rush to the hospital, but the early contractions are beginning. The pain. The pressure. The fear of the unknown. I felt it, and I see many feeling it too, not just in Australia but around the world. I believe this is where we are right now. In the natural, you can see the chaos, the unrest, the darkness trying to overwhelm the light. You can see the political and cultural turmoil, and it may feel like nothing is happening or that the world is going in reverse. But if you tap into the spirit and discern what God is doing, you’ll feel what I feel. We are in the early hours of birth! Romans 8:22 tells us, “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present tim e.” Right now, while we are in these early hours, the labor pangs across the earth are becoming more frequent and intense. To many, they aren’t obvious yet, but you can sense that something is stirring in the spirit, something that wasn’t there yesterday. These moments may not seem significant, but they are holy, sacred, and pivotal. I believe the enemy is trying to divert the church’s eyes away from the baby about to be born, focusing instead on the swirling confusion in the world. We’ve been experiencing spiritual earthquakes—shakings that are reforming and unsettling. But this is not to destroy us; it’s preparing us for a divine rumbling and positioning us for birth! This shaking is reigniting the fire in our bellies, stirring fervor, and aligning us with the Holy Spirit for the hour ahead. ARE YOU IN PREGNANCY DENIAL? This is why the enemy has been attacking you, especially in this last trimester. He’s trying to convince you that you’re crazy to think you’ll ever give birth. You’ve had moments of deep reflection, questioning, "Was this really God? Was it real? Did I misunderstand everything?" These thoughts are the enemy’s strategy to abort the promise before it even arrives. He wants you to believe that you’ve been chasing an illusion, that you’re not pregnant with anything from God. Many have thought, "This idea I’m carrying won’t amount to anything," or, "My message and mandate aren’t unique—others are more gifted than me." Some have even felt, "I must be delusional. I don’t have anything special." In the natural, there’s a rare condition called “denial of pregnancy,” where a woman is unaware of or in denial about her pregnancy until labor or delivery. I believe many are in a similar spiritual condition—denial of their spiritual pregnancy. Many have felt unsettled because they sense the early contractions of spiritual labor, knowing something is being birthed. Yet, at the same time, they feel a deep despair, questioning whether the promise they were given is even real. The enemy is attacking in the very area where God is moving the most in your life—both around you and within you. What God is birthing in the earth, He is also birthing in you, through the revealing of His sons and daughters. You are part of this corporate birthing, and God wants to bring forth His move through you. That’s why the attack has been both global and personal. I want to encourage you today: You are carrying something precious, even if you don’t see it or fully realize it yet. And secondly, know that nothing happening in this world—no political system, government, or global power—can stop God from birthing this move of revival. You and I get to be a part of it! We’re in the early hours of birth, both personally and corporately. It’s time to reignite our fire, reclaim our fight, and push forward. The early hours are here, my friends. It’s time to see, finally, the fulfillment of what you’ve been dreaming about for years and even decades. Stand ready, for the promise is coming to life!

If you are like me in this season (and I know many of you are) where you are constantly asking God the same questions “What are you doing, where are we going?” then you know that you are setting yourself up for both encounter and revelation because there is nothing God loves more than when we are pursuing Him and expectant to know what is on His heart. This prophetic word is more or less just my continued conversation with God for clarity and definition of this time we are in. NEW EASE, YOKES, & ENCOUNTERS A few nights ago I woke up feeling God’s presence sensing He was going to speak. “There is slipstream of my Spirit” I heard Him say. A slipstream is the flow of air or water behind a moving object that enables another object when in close proximity behind it to move effortlessly in its motion. It’s interesting to me that to step into the slipstream you have first been following the right object and secondly, you have to get close. This is God saying to us that as we stop being distracted by everything else wanting our attention and pursue only Him we will not only step into His slipstream where it’s no longer in our own strength but we will also experience the acceleration we have been praying for. The key here is both attention and intimacy. We need to get close to Him and un-yoked with everything else that keeps pulling us in many different directions. If we are yoked to the wrong vehicle we won’t end up where God wants us and we will be exhausted and worn out. We have to yoke with Him and let Him carry us in this part of the transition! Right now many people are running around like its a Black Friday sale and the Lord is wanting you to step into the flow of transition instead of working against it or tiring yourself out trying to figure it all out. REST IN THE FLOW! This is a time of fresh encounter for you that is NECESSARY for what’s ahead. You can’t skip this step, God is inviting you into a makeover of His Glory that is going to remove every weight and burden and cause you to fall in love with Him in a way you haven’t known. Remember, this transition isn’t a life event, it’s the product of intimacy with Jesus and Him taking you from glory to Glory. EXITS, CLOSING DOORS, & DEFINITION The next thing I saw as I woke up were many doors in a long hallway that were closing, but what I noticed in this short vision was that as the doors closed it began to highlight an open door down the end of the corridor that had lighting shining out of it. This is a time that God is removing the wrong things from the equation. Dreams, affections, ventures, and doors that while they may look good would be diversions to the ones God had assigned. I instantly thought “This is going to cause heartache” and heard God say “Not if they adjust their eyes to SEE what I’m revealing”. Closed doors are sudden and unexplained exits from different situations, circles, and assignments that can cause so much confusion and pain but right now God is pulling many people out of wrong environments and situations and into places conducive for growth. As I think back to the vision of the doors it was as if the closed doors only painted a huge big neon arrow in the direction of the open door. When God removes empty options it actually brings greater clarity and alignment to your process and DEFINES the timing. Right now there is such an acceleration on the process that soon we will see the expiry date on the waiting we have been in. Don’t fight, resist and kick back against this because it is only working for you to clear away the distractions and highlight what you need to be focussed on. DELAY, DIRECTIONS & COORDINATES Many have been in deep distress over the many decisions around them that need to be made and the many answers and wisdom they need to be able to advance. More than just a crossroad it feels like a complete standstill waiting for the final pieces of this play to be revealed. So many things are up in the air - jobs, homes, relocations, ministry changes, friendships, families, dreams and projects. As I was talking to the Lord He spoke to me through Daniel 10:12-13; “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days” Instantly the revelation came; Daniel was in prayer and fasting for an answer which was held up in the second heavens for 21 days as an angel and a demonic principality fought. 21 is the number that represents distress and is a unique cycle of time where strongholds lose their footing. I felt that this was significant of breaking through into clarity and past specific delays sent to hinder seeing properly. The word “Persia” means “division” so this assignment comes to scatter and DI-vide your vision so you feel lost and like God is not answering you. As I was talking to the Lord about this I kept seeing a map on a phone giving directions where it details not only the route but gives the timing as well. In the next few weeks God is updating your transitional navigation revelation and updating your direction, route, and giving your specific details and insight on your destination and finally - the timing of the journey. As the new direction comes you will be able to MOVE forward in ways you haven’t been able to. All of the distress and stretching you have been facing is going to be worth it. PROVISION, SUSTENANCE, & FAITHFULNESS There is a display of God’s goodness and faithfulness He wants to release to you right now to REMIND you that you don’t have to be the hero trying to orchestrate every facet of your life in transition. Just because the heat is on and you have to continually adapt and surrender to change doesn’t mean you are alone having to do this “self-made”. As I sat there in Gods presence just soaking up the peace He was releasing a scripture bubbled up from my spirit; “But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” — Psalm 81:17 Can we just land this right here? Wow, this says it all. Just like the Israelites in the desert that God gave water to from the rock, God wants us to feed and be satisfied on honey as we walk out this transition. That’s resting in His provision, His plan, His sustenance, and His presence. I felt like the honey was prophetically speaking of those who have felt like they had become frail and deficient throughout this season and God was right now giving them back strength, strength, and returning sweetness to their lives where long and difficult situations had zapped them. As I’m writing this down I feel strongly that the Lord is wanting to heal people who actually feel bitter because it’s been so long since they have tasted God’s goodness or faithfulness. Holy Spirit I ask you right now to refresh them and let them taste your honey where they have only tasted disappointment in Jesus name. It’s a new day. REST, WARFARE, & PROTECTION Friends you have been the hamster in the wheel long enough in this journey, now it’s time to rest in His ability to guide your ship safely to harbour in your new land. Jesus has already gone before you as your fore-runner. There are no surprises to Him and there is nothing to fear ahead. He knows your coordinates, where you have been and where you need to be, and He is making sure you get there. The key here is REST. Rest from trying to make things happen. Rest from striving, pushing, prodding, pacing, fighting, and working yourself into an anxious wreck. You will pass the test as you rest in his ability, in fact, if you don’t rest God is unable to properly reformat you for the new place you are stepping into. Moses was unable to enter the promised land -REST, because when God provided the rock full of water He disobeyed God by striking it with his rod instead of just speaking to it. How often do we do things our way when God wants us to watch HIM do the mighty miracles we need? I feel that God’s rest and abiding in His presence is the strategy for the season. Yes it’s our lifestyle as believers but right now it’s also a prophetic strategy. It’s been a time where the assignment of hell has been to bombard you with so much witchcraft, chatter, resistance and opposition, and distraction to put a spirit of heaviness in you. The assignment has also been to bring you into temptation and slipping into the wrong kind of escape so he can trip you up and catch you out. Rest and being In God’s presence will realign your priorities and activities so that you aren’t burning out, as well as Insulate you from the constant torrent of noise. We HAVE to deal with warfare differently right now. We need to know when we have to swing our sword and when to ascend the mountain. I am praying this week that you would trade in the anxiety and confusion of this season for the fresh oil and wine, that you’d trade in the hard uphill battle for the ease, the old heavy yoke for the light an easy one, and step into slipstream of his Spirit in Jesus name!
