PROPHETIC WORD - YOU ARE THE TIP OF THE SPEAR
A few nights ago, I had a dream where I was watching wheat and tares being separated, much like the parable in Matthew 13.
It was harvest time because the wheat was heavy with grain, bending the stalks under its weight, while the tares stood straight and tall.
As the parable says, it's during the harvest that you can easily see the difference between the two. When they are smaller, they are nearly indistinguishable.
But suddenly, in my dream, the wheat and tares began to change shape until they became spears.
The wheat spears, however, were made of metal, and the tares were made of wood.
Then, they were both thrown into the fire and taken to an anvil, where they were beaten with a hammer. This process happened repeatedly, over and over.
“Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” —Matthew 13:30
Within a few rounds of this process, the tares burned up quickly and were easily broken and smashed on the anvil. In contrast, the metal spears only became stronger and sharper through the process.
When I woke up, I had a deep sense of knowing that we are in an hour like Matthew 13, where tares and wheat are being easily distinguished.
It’s becoming clearer and clearer to see things for what they truly are, to discern what is man-made and what is God-made.
It’s becoming easier to spot what is a counterfeit and what is authentic.
This is a time of fruit testing and pruning.
What is from Him, and what is from us?
What is ambition, and what is His vision?
What is another idol with a Christian label slapped on it?
What is an Ishmael, and what is Isaac?
What carries the glory, and what is after the glory of man?
In the natural, this looks like a time of exposure.
It looks like the wheels are coming off the wagon of man’s empires.
The tares, which have been trying to look like wheat, are now being seen for what they truly are.
But it’s also a time of great celebration for the faithful, as God brings increase.
How do you know which side you’re on? If you're being burned up, you're not wheat. But if you're simply being pruned, you're wheat.
This is a time when all of the tares hanging around your life are getting the axe.
Wrong doors and assignments are being thrown into the fire.
The wrong people and company—they’ll get the first whiff of smoke and run a million miles from you. Yet, it won’t hurt you; it will only make you stronger.
And that’s what this dream is declaring!
Firstly, you are in a harvest you didn’t even realize you were in!
For so long, you’ve been focusing on the fire instead of the fruit you’ve been carrying in the dark.
You’ve been fixated on the tares that have been stealing your ground, nutrients, and light, yet you’ve been multiplying rapidly.
Now, please hear this: you are entering a season where you will finally see just how much has been growing and increasing through your season of shaking and the refiner’s fire.
The fire hasn’t been burning you up; it’s been strengthening you.
And the hammer has only made you sharper, preparing you for greater things!
I hear the Lord saying over you today:
“Mighty voices of truth, arise! For there has been a separation between the faithful and the faithless, the impure voices and the righteous, but the impure are becoming as ash while you are now stepping into the FULLNESS of your calling and anointing. I am going to AMPLIFY your voice and carry it to the nations, for you are the sharp tip of the spear that will cut through the chaos and usher in My glory. Soon, you will see that this season was not in vain; you will see the fruit I have produced in you while you thought you had failed and floundered.”
Lastly, prophetic voices, I believe this dream is a commissioning for you.
It’s a governmental clarion call to be the tip of the spear in this time of history.
No more hiding in the face of injustice. SPEAK.
God has been preparing you for this, and you have felt the internal rumbling.
Just as this dream speaks to a season of divine separation and refining, it also emphasizes discernment and how, in this time, God is increasing this gifting upon you to not only reveal what is God and what is not, but also lead the church out of mixture and counterfeits.
That’s why you have been sharpened, so you can slice through the veils of the enemy keeping many in bondage.
This dream speaks that you have only become stronger through the fire and hammer revealing and has only come to refine you and not destroy.
You are being prepared for greater authority, and your voice will cut through confusion and chaos like the tip of a spear, bringing clarity and direction.
Keep your focus on the fruit, not the fire, and trust that what you’ve endured has been preparation for a greater unveiling of who you are and whose you are.

As we step into this week, I have a word burning in my spirit for many of you, especially for those who feel stuck, uncertain, or directionless. You may have heard people say, “If you’re unsure of your next step, go back to the last thing you didn’t do.” There’s deep truth in this because revelation isn’t just about waiting for God to speak again, it’s about stewarding what He has already said. Yes, God sovereignly releases revelation. He deposits ideas, dreams, and visions into our spirit. These can come through worship, reading the Word, a divine knowing, or even unexpected moments of insight. But the flow of revelation in our lives is also tied to our participation with Him. A lifestyle of revelation isn’t just receiving, it’s responding. God is looking for those who will take what He gives and do something with it. It’s like the Parable of the Talents, when we steward what He places in our hands, He entrusts us with more. REVELATION REQUIRES RESPONSE This is how dreams work. This is how visions work. This is how any kind of revelation works. Years ago, I stepped into a season where I began dreaming with the Lord, dreams that spoke directly to the Body of Christ. At first, I didn’t understand that these dreams required action. When I ignored them, it felt like the well dried up. The revelation stopped flowing. I found myself frustrated and confused asking “Why is this happening? Why does it feel like God is silent?” Then I went back to the last thing He had spoken. I returned to the dream and asked, “Lord, what do You want me to do with this?” And as I engaged with the revelation, as I treated it as sacred and acted on it, the floodgates of Heaven opened again. I believe many in the Body of Christ are in this exact place right now. You’re asking God, “What are my next steps?” But here’s what I keep hearing in my spirit: “DO THE DREAM.” For many of you, the issue isn’t that revelation has stopped flowing, it’s that the revelation you’ve received doesn’t make sense. You’re getting dreams, insight, and direction, but it seems strange or unclear. You find yourself asking: “God, why am I seeing this?” “Why am I getting this dream?” “What does this even mean?” And because it feels unfamiliar, because it carries an element of risk, you hesitate. But revelation is often like that. It requires faith. It requires obedience. And right now, God is calling you to move, even when the details don’t fully make sense. FOLLOWING THE DREAM – A LIFESTYLE OF FAITH Let me share something personal... Before we ever connected with our good friend Lou Engle who has taught us so much about the depths of dreams, Christy and I were already following them. . We have moved multiple times because of dreams. We have given what seemed like crazy prophetic warnings based on dreams. And yet, over time, we have seen the fruit of radical obedience again and again. God led us to Redding years ago because of a dream. God led us to Colorado Springs because of a dream. And most recently, God led us to California because of two dreams. The first was simple - I was standing on the shore of Pirate’s Cove, throwing out a frisbee. That was my first word from the Lord. The second dream was given to Lou, and in the dream we were standing in California when Lou declared, “It’s time for Acts 2!” And afterward, he called us and said, “It’s time to move.” So we moved. THE TIME FOR HESITATION IS OVER Stepping out on revelation is not for the faint of heart. It requires faith, courage, and a willingness to look foolish in the eyes of others. But I want to speak to those of you who feel stuck: Go back to your last dream. Go back to your last instruction. Ask the Lord, “how do I do the dream?” For many, this is the key to unlocking fresh revelation. When you steward what He has already given, He entrusts you with more. I believe the Lord wants to re-open the revelatory gates in your life. I believe He wants to stir up the language of Heaven within you again. If you’ve felt disconnected, if you’ve felt like the well has dried up, then lay before Him and say: “Lord, I’m sorry for not moving on the last thing You spoke. But I’m ready now. Open the heavens again. Speak again. I will do the dream.” A JOEL 2 OUTPOURING – DREAM AGAIN I want to declare Joel 2 over you today. “Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” This is the season where the end-time language of dreams and visions is being poured out over an entire generation. It’s not just for the few, it’s for the many. From the youngest to the oldest, God is awakening a Joel 2 movement of dreamers, seers, and prophetic voices. If you want to receive this, pray with me: “Lord, give me the ability to dream. Open my spirit to receive revelation. Teach me how to steward what You give. Show me how to walk it out. I choose to do the dream. In Jesus’ name, amen.” The hour is urgent. The call is clear. Do the dream.

Last week, I shared this short post on social media: “God sees your process, and He isn’t rushing you right now. You have walked through a lot and seen a lot. Your heart has been through 20 years in 4 years, so give yourself space to let Him revive and reinvent you. Give Him room to clean out the hope deferred and the cobwebs of 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, or deep, unshakable weariness. Instead, it will feel like a valve has been flipped inside you, and out of your belly, rivers will flow again. You’ll feel the pain and hardship of this past season—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.” But I wanted to share more in-depth about this and where it came from. Earlier that morning, before I posted it, the Lord spoke to me and said, “The heart process can’t be rushed or ignored.” He said there was another layer of healing and deliverance He was bringing through leaning into this process. We know that process is often where the Lord leads us into deeper levels of heart healing, character refining, and maturity—enabling us to walk in the increasing anointing He’s releasing. He always takes us from glory to glory, right? But what I’m highly aware of is that when we walk through difficult seasons—battle seasons, hardship, but also seasons where God is advancing us—our spirit tends to move and advance quickly, while our hearts, souls, and emotions tend to lag behind. They take longer to adjust. And that, to me, is what true process is. It’s the intentional focus on not just what God is doing spiritually, but how it affects me personally—and the walk I need to take with Him to adjust in all areas of my life. Far too many ministers and believers in the past have bypassed this step. They’ve embraced what’s happening spiritually—the advancements, shifts, and transitions—while suppressing their emotions and soul state. Eventually, it crushed them because they weren’t stewarding the heart process or valuing it as much as the spiritual process. So when the Lord spoke this word to me, it felt like permission—if not more. It felt like a summoning to lean even deeper into the process than ever before. Now, if you know my writings, you know I always talk about heart process—how our transitions and spiritual walk parallel our personal journey. But this felt different. This felt deeper. It felt like a moment where the Lord was saying: I know there are things I’m leading you into. I know there are parts of your calling I’m about to reveal to you. I know there are incredible kairos destiny moments ahead, open doors, and divine opportunities. But right now, this moment is sacred, holy, and special. And it cannot be whitewashed by Christian clichés. We can’t just view this process through the lens of: • “Oh, God is getting me ready for the next battle.” • “Oh, God is cleaning me up for the next assignment.” No, this is so much more than that, friends. This is where the Lord is asking us to lean into the process because He wants us. He knows we need Him. This is simply about relationship and intimacy. This is about recognizing that this process is needed for reconnection with Him. I’m not saying you’ve fallen away. I’m not saying He’s not your first love. I’m saying that much of what you’ve walked through in recent years—the battles, distractions, noise, and endless swinging of your sword—has had an assignment behind it: To get your gaze off Him. To reduce your marriage with the Bridegroom to a friendship or roommate status—when He wants to be your everything. So no, we can’t rush this moment. We can’t rush this process. This process needs to become the main meal again. Our morning, daily heart surrendering needs to become our everything again. Letting the rays of the Son penetrate the deep places of our hearts—healing us, restoring us to full health. Right now, there are layers of the onion being peeled back. The Lord is graciously exposing them so we can step into health, clarity, and peace. Because He never desired for us to live this Christian life broken or in bondage. He didn’t go to the cross for us to still experience the pain and effects of separation from the Father. There is no more separation. There is no condemnation for those in Christ, yet many have still been living as if there is. So for those of you who have felt lost in the swirl of pressure— the do this, go there, get that done mentality —I get it. I know it’s a tension. I know we can’t disregard the mission. But maybe we just switch up our meals this week. Maybe we reorganize the buffet. Instead of making the mission the main meal, maybe it can be the dessert—and let this process, this daily relationship, this being in His presence, become the main meal again. God is reordering our lives right now. Because He wants us to last the distance. He doesn’t want you living in survival mode anymore. He wants you to thrive. He wants you to go from glory to glory. And I believe that leaning into this process won’t just reveal the oil that has come from these past years of pressing, but it will also reveal the closeness—the fragrance, the perfume of our King Jesus—and what He provided for us at the cross. So that you begin to live daily in the victory He has already provided. That you step out of the shadows, out of the veils that have tried to overshadow the finished work of the cross—And step back into the limitless victory that He secured for you. So yes, this is permission for you to: • Lean into the process. • Lean into this moment. • Lean into healing. • Lean into rest. And watch as your dry bones come back to full health. People won’t understand it. Those who have built their faith around action over intimacy won’t understand it. But as you obey—leaning into rest, refreshing, and deep reset—it will become the spring of life that erupts within you again. One day, you’ll look back and say: That was the moment I chose Him over the doing… and yet, it accomplished so much more. Let me end with this: Bill Johnson once said, " There are lovers and workers, and lovers will always get more work done than the workers." This week, I prophesy over you: You are stepping out from under the yoke of work—and stepping into the rhythm of His rest and refreshing—In Jesus’ name.

February 21, 2025
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?
