YOU ARE ON A REDEMPTION TOUR!

YOU ARE ON A REDEMPTION TOUR!

YOU ARE ON A REDEMPTION TOUR!

I PROPHESY - YOU ARE ON A REDEMPTION TOUR!


I'm not sure if this is a prophetic word or an encouragement or both, but I felt such a stirring these last few weeks to share what I believe the Lord is doing right now in so many that have felt hope deferred and soul sick for a long period of time. 


I'm talking about the those who've walked through hardship after hardship, breakdown after breakdown and train wreck after train wreck. 


Maybe the word redemption to you at this point feels too good to be true and you feel even slightly critical of even it’s mention. If so, then this is for you - let’s watch God break off some deep disappointment. 


I’m feel like I’m speaking to those who at the height of promises, dreams, and what they felt like was a birthing suddenly came into calamity, ruin, and failure. 


Yes, I'm speaking to those who've had their hopes dashed and have been living in disappointment and survival mode for many years. I feel that to release this properly I need to be vulnerable and share a bit of our story with you. 


THE INTERRUPTED PROMISE


Leading up to 2020, God gave us multiple dreams about major promises over our lives, and as you may know - we moved and we gave up everything to follow the Lord without a thought. 


In March 2020, we arrived in the United States following a specific dream to come on a certain date. Our goal was to purchase a ministry home ready for our arrival later in the year when our visas were approved. But then Covid hit and we were stuck and we watched as each of those dreams suddenly folded before our eyes. 


We lost the home we were supposed to purchase and were essentially strangers in the land we felt was home. 


WATCHING SEEDS FALL TO THE GROUND


By the end of 2021, we had to finalise our visas so we went back to Australia with our tail between our legs, feeling like we'd failed and that we hadn't heard from the Lord.


Upon arriving, we were escorted by the Australian federal police to a quarantine facility in Sydney where we spent two weeks there just wondering what we'd done wrong and why all these promises hadn't come to pass. To make matters worse they almost didn’t let us leave because they lost one of our tests on the final day which meant they were wanting to keep us in there for another 14 days. 


Thanks to Christy’s fiery “There’s no way we are staying in your scamdemic prison another day longer!” and the great help of the head of police for that area who came to our rescue, we were able to leave. 


Then we spent most of 2022 watching the last fragments of all of these dreams fall like seeds to the ground and die. And what was worse it even felt like the Lord was even asking us, “Will you give them to me? Will you surrender the all of them to me?” And we did. But then the big one..God asked us to lay down our visas altogether. So we did. 


We walked through grief, and deep sorrow as we gave them to the Lord and placed them in his lap, then let him refresh and refuel us, and He did. Grief began right turn to a deeper abandon, and then abandon into worship, and worship into freedom and delight again. Our slate was wiped clean. We had no chips or cards on the table - just our family and Jesus. 


THE WINDS OF CHANGE & SUDDEN DOORS


Then something shifted. Suddenly God was beginning to resurrect some of these dreams rapidly, and by October it was like we were watching every one of those seeds being picked up and the Holy Spirit was blowing upon them afresh. 


Somehow the season of surrender and laying down was doing more than we realised. We were suddenly dreaming afresh. Receiving downloads in a new way, and feeling a second wind. 


Mind you, this is where the warfare really amped up. Everyone around us starting saying “Forfeit the USA!” Stay in Australia!” It was confusing to say the least. I had already given it up but I was waking up every night at 3am in cold sweats weeping over regarding United States. The war was real, but something had shifted. 


Then it happened. God opened a suddenly door and we found ourselves holding the very promise that felt so far away and impossible a year earlier. 


THE WORD THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING


So we packed up, and in early January we flew to Sydney enroute to the US to officially begin our migration, but when we arrived many of the the hotels in that area we were staying were booked out. 


The only hotel that was available happened to be the very hotel that we'd stayed in for quarantine. “No way” I thought, and showed Christy. 


“Is this a joke? Is God trying to tease us with this? Why would we have to stay in this hotel the night before we fly back to America? Was this a sign that everything was going to crumble again? Was this a sign that we were going to see further hope deferred and watch these very dreams that God had suddenly resurrected fall to the ground yet again? Were we leading our family through another season of heartache and trauma?”


As we drove to the hotel, we stepped out into the lobby and had the eerie recollection of watching the nurses and federal police escort us out on our last day. I looked over at Christy and she looked over at me. Suddenly, I hear the voice of the Lord speak so clearly.  “Nate, this is not what you think it is. I'm taking you on a redemption tour” 


As we got into our hotel room, we prayed, and we took communion as a family. I could see it on my kids' faces, “What's happening? Why are we here again 13 months later?” But that night, we had the best sleep we had in what felt like years. 


The next day as we went to the airport to fly out we still had a lot of the fears hanging over us, and were still walking through the process of what we had just endured these last few years. 

But yet I had this word embedded deep in my heart, “you're on a redemption tour”


THE LAST ATTEMPT TO DERAIL US


Then as we cleared ticketing and security I started receiving messages and emails - somehow all our personal bank accounts had been hacked, our websites crashed, and we had no money to even eat before the flight. But we just laughed it off. We were on the road of redemption and the enemy was mad. 


But upon arriving to the United States, we were let off the plane to stand in immigration for over four hours, which isn't uncommon, but strangely were led to an interrogation room where we were questioned about our status. 


We werent told why we were there except that we may have to wait up to 12 hours to hear whether they were going to let us in or send us back to Australia. I started to feel that familiar feeling of, “I knew this was too good to be true, this redemption tour” when suddenly I remembered a word a friend gave me only a month earlier about how he saw two large angels standing with us that were gonna break open the way because the enemy was going to try stop us. 


And then the Lord took me back to March 2020, when we arrived into San Francisco and I physically saw two angels with the scripture, Isaiah 45:1-3 written on the side of them as we entered through immigration and into the United States. 


Wow. Those two angels had not left our side. They’d  been there ever since. So Christy, I, and the kids, dropped to the floor and prayed, “Lord, break open the way!”


Instantly our names were called and they said, “we have no idea why we brought you in here, but you could have been in there for 12 hours!” They let us go and it was as if those two angels busted open that door and released us. We were home! 


THE ROAD OF FULL CIRCLE CIRCUMSTANCES & DO-OVERS


Now we have been here in the United States for coming up five months, and I can attest to this - God has been faithful and we have indeed been on the road of redemption. 


It’s as if He has intentionally led us to places and situations that were literal do overs from the season of barrenness and robbery. 


We have found ourselves in full circle moments that had my head spinning of how God orchestrated it. 


We have seen every single area of hope deferred begin to come alive and resurrected again. 


We've seen every single dream that looked like it'd fallen to the ground restored, and we've seen the years that the Locust had eaten begin to be recovered. 


But this isn’t just a cool story - I feel like what we have been going through is not just for us either. 

I believe that what we have been going through is a prophetic picture of what the church has been walking through, what you have been walking through. The hope deferred, the disappointments, the dead seeds, the pain, the heartache, the loss, and the trauma. 


But let me prophesy over you the same words that God spoke over me - you are on a redemption tour in Jesus mighty name!


I prophesy that the place that you've been stuck in and the experiences and the circumstances that have been dealt to you is not what you're going to end up with. 


You are on a redemption tour and it begins now in Jesus mighty name.


I pray that in the area of health - redemption now! 


I just decree in the name of Jesus over your finances, redemption! 


Over your hopes and dreams and your destiny - Redemption!


Over your relationships, redemption!


Over your family, and marriages, redemption in the mighty name of Jesus!


I command every area that the enemy has eaten and stolen It must now come back and be restored to you. 


And I decree this and prophesy this over you - robbery ends this week and redemption begins in the mighty name of jesus! 


“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten — the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm my great army that I sent among you.You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed” - Joel 2:25-26

THIS WEEK LOOK FOR THESE SIGNS

By Nate Johnston • 23 Jun, 2024
Over the last 3 days, I have felt a fight in my Spirit and an overwhelming sense of impending breakthrough for those who have felt at the battlefront—yet unable to move forward in that direction. As I was in worship, I heard these words: "Look for the signs of prison break," so let me prophesy over your week... LOOK FOR THE SHAKING Don't be alarmed by the shaking and what looks like drama and commotion. God is revealing what has been secretly keeping you in lockdown and what was holding up your movement. Tension points are breakthrough points and places where God brings resolve, healing, and reinvention. Your worship and contending are shaking what has felt like a holding cell, limbo, and stalemate. Like Paul and Silas, your song through the dark night is beginning to shake and shatter the bars that have held you. The shake-up is your break-out! I prophesy that this is your rescue from the shaking that has come against you to keep you still, contained, and under lock and key in Jesus name! LOOK FOR THE FRACTURES I heard the word "fractures," which means a crack or rupture, and I believe we are going to begin to see significant fractures form in the intentional onslaught against us. You are going to begin to see the fractures, weak spots, and imperfections in the warfare you have had against you, like the missing chink in the armor where you will strike down the giant that has been looming over you. You will begin to hear the sound of metal bending, and the once strong and impenetrable assignments that have kept you at bay will give way. Then, you will leave the prison hold you have been in. You will have an "eyes open" moment and see things as they truly are, and the smoke and mirrors will be revealed in plain view. I prophesy that this week, you will see the cracks in the enemy's case against you and begin to feel hope again. You will be victorious where you have been hit the hardest. LOOK FOR THE DISMANTLING OF LOCKS There is a global and personal dismantling taking place. The enemy is no longer able to hold together all the pieces and keep his hand hidden. His plan is being dismantled. Just as Isaiah 45 says ,, there will be a "stripping of kings' armor," a "dethroning," and a "breaking down of bronze doors." The counterfeit kingdom is going to have a public showing, and the house is falling apart further. Personally, this is also taking place, where God is tearing down the gates, walls, ceilings, and obstructions that have been keeping you frustrated and stationary in your assignment. The dismantling of these locks and strategies is in the making. I prophesy that you are beginning to break out and breakthrough, and every invisible rope and tie is being untied and removed in Jesus' name. LOOK FOR THE FINALITY & CLOSURE For many, a monumental prison break is the necessary closure regarding past seasons' baggage, and right now, God is tying the loose ends. This baggage has been a massive yoke on the necks of those longing to enjoy the new season but who have been dealing with the emotional scarring and trauma of past season's battles. God is bringing healing and closure to them. He is bringing closure by healing bodies, hearts, and minds from the toll of the last season where people are still carrying hurts, words, and betrayals. I sensed that, especially in families and relationships, there was coming closure to a season of unrest, hardship, debt, and bad blood. God is cleansing, healing, and restoring right now. Hidden warfare and words are being dealt with. Divisive roots and assignments are being dismantled, and ticking time bombs of strife are being disarmed. Look for the closure of expected outcomes because on the other side of the surrender of them will be the better outcomes you couldn't have come up with. I prophesy for the old doors to close, ties to be severed, and old seasons to come to an end in Jesus name! LOOK FOR THE DREAMS & INSIGHT The airwaves in your sleep have been clouded, cluttered, and under fire but there is FREEDOM & REINVENTION coming to reinstate the night seasons revelation that has been lost in this contending season. The fruit of this prison break is a deeper connection to God and hearing His heart and mysteries. Your sacrifice of praise in the storm is now opening up a whole new realm of hearing and seeing than you are used to. In the enclosed space, you were unable to have vision and dream, but now watch as you, for the first time in a long time, start to dream with God and see the "down the road" you couldn't see before. I prophesy a fresh flow and season of visitation and revelation over you in Jesus name! LOOK FOR THE KEYS YOU DROPPED I kept seeing keys, and I asked the Lord what I was seeing, and I was drawn to Revelation 3:7, which says to the holder of the keys of David that "What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open." You lost your keys in the survival season, but now you are getting them back. You also dropped your fire in the survival season, but now you are getting it back. It's time to pick up what you dropped in 2020. It's time to resume the plan you had before the pandemic. Don't look at limitations or allow what God gave you to be stunted by the times. I prophesy that God is giving you back your zeal and passion, reigniting you, and refueling you for your season of sprinting forward in Jesus name! LOOK FOR THE SUDDEN MOVEMENT You will suddenly make "headway" (the word I heard) in places where there has been no fruit, progress, or advancement for your effort. You will feel a GRACE on stepping out where there was none before and have ease in the beginning when making plans. The middle ground is falling away. The place of being without options and constantly hitting stops is over. Movement is here...so move out by faith. Step out by faith, and He will guide you. Isolation has been a tactic to keep you feeling even more cut off from any kind of breakthrough, but God is bringing you "fast-blooming " friendships to make up for lost time. Look for the sudden openings where things felt closed and the ability to make decisions to move forward that you couldn't before. I prophesy SWIFT and peace-filled movement over you and your families in Jesus name! LOOK FOR THE KNOCK ON THE DOOR Two times throughout the night before writing this word I woke up to hearing what sounded like a loud knock on our front door. I knew what it meant in the Spirit. Look for the knock on the door where doors have been locked and shut from you and what you were promised out of reach. God is opening up opportunities and things you felt you missed. He is bringing favor you thought you were robbed and cheated of. God is opening what has been shut, breaking through, and tearing down walls and doors in your way. Red tape and legalities that have stood menacing over you will be removed. God is clearing the road. For those who have been knocked down repeatedly, this is a moment of standing tall again. Where your name was dragged through the mud, and you lost your will to live. It's time to stand. "You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the Lord helped me" - Psalm 118:13 It's time for a prison break because it's who God is...You may have endured a time of extreme hardship but it doesn't end there. I prophesy that things will shift dramatically this week in Jesus name! "Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me" - Psalm 86:17 

THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE BLOWING

By Nate Johnston • 19 Jun, 2024
Look around. It's the winds of change blowing. You either fight it or fall into it. But this one isn't leaving anything the same way it was. But many are saying, "Lord, I can't handle another season of storms; I am tired!" But the Lord says, "My winds are not the storm; they dissipate the storm!" Many have seen the signs and hunkered down in the storm bunker, but this isn't what you think it is. The winds of change are creating ripple effects upon global and personal circumstances, but they aren't coming to take you out but to put you back together! "Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life." - Ezekiel 37:9 Yes, the winds of the spirit are bringing life to dry bones and the decommissioned. So I say to the fallen today, arise in Jesus name! I see the deep grief trying to clamp itself around your head, but it must break loose now in Jesus name! THE WINDS OF REFORMATION For the Lord has been reforming you in secret. That's why your heart has been so raw, and all appetites for this world have fallen away. This is why you have detoured from the safe and expected path. This is why you had to shut the door. This is why you had to be detoxed from the rat race and see it for what it is. In the last 10 years, there have been gusts of transition and many birth pangs, but they have not been the birthing. But now, the winds of change have prepared the church for the greatest hour. THE WINDS OF DIVINE ORDER I heard the Lord say, "Fresh manna will fall as you let the old manna rot away." There has been an unhealthy clinging to the methods and mindsets of God's last move, which has produced an influx of bad fruit. But this move of God is going to look different. It's going to be messy, yet it will restore order to lives, families, and the church. THE WINDS OF POLARIZING SEPARATION For I have been separating the wheat from the chaff, says the Lord. Those who fear me and those who don't. Those who lie with evil and call it good. And those who choose the world over me. That is why I have separated you from them and removed you from the tables of compromise even when it hurt. But you knew you couldn't worship me and their golden calves at the same time. For the winds of change are bringing things into their right place and everything that is out of place is being removed. For I am plucking out the root rot of the church and planting a Davidic heart again in place of that which was defiled. So don't be surprised if it looks polarising or destructive; these will cause true repentance to gush forth. WINDS OF HOLY JUSTICE My winds of change are blowing divine justice over these situations that have held people in bondage and psychological manipulation. And in a moment their power will be gone and I will repay what they stole from you and restore you to your post. A sign of this will be that you will start to see the private foxes become public, and the private battles in your life with this spirit will soon be made known for what it is. For this is an hour I am dismantling the towers of man's achievements and bringing the church back into a humbling once again. For my wind is blowing and delivering the proud and lofty and setting them free from their thrones. And I am bringing the church into her nameless, faceless days where all eyes will be on me once again. THE WINDS OF DISRUPTION & RESTORING NATIONS Now watch as I blow upon the nations. I am sending one expression of my spirit to one nation and another to another. There will be such a sudden explosion of varying flavors as I restore my salt and light and set my feast for the hungry. These expressions won't be able to be contained or manipulated because they can't be controlled. And those who are there to witness them will be unable to manufacture or steer it, only lean into what I am doing. My winds come now at the turning of a tide in the nations and in response to those who have prayed for nations hanging in the balance. And you will see both disruption and beauty, says the Lord. You will see turmoil and outpouring. But look beyond the news and beyond the story before your eyes and see what I am doing. For I am restoring nations, not tearing them apart. YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU COULDN'T As I was writing this down, I went into a vision that felt like 8k clarity. The clearest vision I have ever seen. Then the Lord said, "My winds are blowing open the blurry prophets!" For many have been in a season of blindness and disconnect but my spirit is now giving you back sight with a clarity that has not been released upon the church yet. And the eyes of the blind will see, and the eyes of the deaf be unstopped. And fresh vision will finally come after years of wandering around feeling like God departed from you. The Lord says to his prophets, "I had to untangle you before I could allow you to see fresh; otherwise, they would have trampled the revelation I am now giving you. This is where the dots connect over the last four years and finally come to fruition. THE WINDS OF MIGRATION & MOVEMENT So, as I am rearranging your life and altering your plans, I am also conceiving in you new movements. But in order for these movements to be birthed you will have to migrate. For some, it's geographically, and for others, it's migrating from the seas you have been swimming in. The Lord says you have outgrown those waters, and you will become stagnant if you don't flow with me and move with me. But I am not taking anything from you, but adding to you! Don't throw the baby out with the bath water as you feel this shift. Don't burn your bridges and throw away the keys to your vehicle, but learn how to receive multiple callings and assignments. Multiple burnings and multiple groans...says the Lord. For I am going to give you more nations. And open up places you would never have expected. So don't be overwhelmed, but lean into this new space of dreaming with me and learning to operate with a deeper capacity to understand how I weave global estates together. THE WINDS OF GATHERING And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. - Matthew 24:31 Lastly, I saw the winds gathering people from hidden holes and caves around the earth. Who are these ones? I asked...These are the ones I am calling out of the dens of darkness and pain and back to their posts. They are the ones who died in the battle and lost everything. These are the ones who the enemy assassinated. But I am putting my spirit upon them again so they can lead the charge in the days to come. But now they won't lead the church to more religion but to me. And they will establish birthplaces where my spirit can move without restriction and where I can cohabit, says the Lord.

THIS WEEK LOOK FOR THESE SIGNS

By Nate Johnston • 23 Jun, 2024
Over the last 3 days, I have felt a fight in my Spirit and an overwhelming sense of impending breakthrough for those who have felt at the battlefront—yet unable to move forward in that direction.

THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE BLOWING

That is why I have separated you from them and removed you from the tables of compromise even when it hurt. But you knew you couldn't worship me and their golden calves at the same time. For the winds of change are bringing things into their right place and everything that is out of place is being removed. For I am plucking out the root rot of the church and planting a Davidic heart again in place of that which was defiled. So don't be surprised if it looks polarising or destructive; these will cause true repentance to gush forth. WINDS OF HOLY JUSTICE My winds of change are blowing divine justice over these situations that have held people in bondage and psychological manipulation. And in a moment their power will be gone and I will repay what they stole from you and restore you to your post. A sign of this will be that you will start to see the private foxes become public, and the private battles in your life with this spirit will soon be made known for what it is. For this is an hour I am dismantling the towers of man's achievements and bringing the church back into a humbling once again. For my wind is blowing and delivering the proud and lofty and setting them free from their thrones. And I am bringing the church into her nameless, faceless days where all eyes will be on me once again. THE WINDS OF DISRUPTION & RESTORING NATIONS Now watch as I blow upon the nations. I am sending one expression of my spirit to one nation and another to another. There will be such a sudden explosion of varying flavors as I restore my salt and light and set my feast for the hungry. These expressions won't be able to be contained or manipulated because they can't be controlled. And those who are there to witness them will be unable to manufacture or steer it, only lean into what I am doing. My winds come now at the turning of a tide in the nations and in response to those who have prayed for nations hanging in the balance. And you will see both disruption and beauty, says the Lord. You will see turmoil and outpouring. But look beyond the news and beyond the story before your eyes and see what I am doing. For I am restoring nations, not tearing them apart. YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU COULDN'T As I was writing this down, I went into a vision that felt like 8k clarity. The clearest vision I have ever seen. Then the Lord said, "My winds are blowing open the blurry prophets!" For many have been in a season of blindness and disconnect but my spirit is now giving you back sight with a clarity that has not been released upon the church yet. And the eyes of the blind will see, and the eyes of the deaf be unstopped. And fresh vision will finally come after years of wandering around feeling like God departed from you. The Lord says to his prophets, "I had to untangle you before I could allow you to see fresh; otherwise, they would have trampled the revelation I am now giving you. This is where the dots connect over the last four years and finally come to fruition. THE WINDS OF MIGRATION & MOVEMENT So, as I am rearranging your life and altering your plans, I am also conceiving in you new movements. But in order for these movements to be birthed you will have to migrate. For some, it's geographically, and for others, it's migrating from the seas you have been swimming in. The Lord says you have outgrown those waters, and you will become stagnant if you don't flow with me and move with me. But I am not taking anything from you, but adding to you! Don't throw the baby out with the bath water as you feel this shift. Don't burn your bridges and throw away the keys to your vehicle, but learn how to receive multiple callings and assignments. Multiple burnings and multiple groans...says the Lord. For I am going to give you more nations. And open up places you would never have expected. So don't be overwhelmed, but lean into this new space of dreaming with me and learning to operate with a deeper capacity to understand how I weave global estates together. THE WINDS OF GATHERING And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. - Matthew 24:31 Lastly, I saw the winds gathering people from hidden holes and caves around the earth. Who are these ones? I asked...These are the ones I am calling out of the dens of darkness and pain and back to their posts. They are the ones who died in the battle and lost everything. These are the ones who the enemy assassinated. But I am putting my spirit upon them again so they can lead the charge in the days to come. But now they won't lead the church to more religion but to me. And they will establish birthplaces where my spirit can move without restriction and where I can cohabit, says the Lord.

I AM UNDOING THE MESS OF YOUR ISHMAEL...

By Nate Johnston • 18 Jun, 2024
I heard the Lord say, “Right now, I am undoing the mess of your Ishmael.” The thing you created and birthed didn’t have me in it. Because I have seen you broken and contrite before me, I will now reverse what has felt like a curse over your life since you stepped into it. For it’s felt like your life has been falling apart for such a long while and now I am going to bring you back to the moment of that decision and place you in a divine re-do. I don’t want you stuck there anymore. I don’t want you in the pit of despair anymore. And I have seen you wallowing in the depths of regret, grief, and utter loss as a result. I have seen you hit rock bottom because you couldn’t sustain what you created without me. And while right now it hurts, it had to fall apart so I could bring you the door I promised and birth your Isaac. It also hurts because you didn’t see that it was Ishmael at the time. You thought it was faith. You thought you were following me. But in the noise and drama you chose what looked right over what was right. But now it’s time to let it go. Close the door. Turn the page of that chapter and rediscover what you were created to birth with me. It’s time to return to your roots so I can make you bloom again. So don’t fear the shipwrecks and mess around you. I am right now in the midst of tidying them up with you and bringing you out of the constant warfare of being out of grace. For my mercies are new every morning...so receive it. And let your heart release all bitterness, for I will make all things new and restore the years. Watch as I turn back the clock and bring you what you lost. Watch as I restore the relationships, passion, and joy that were stolen. And the sign will be that you will come alive again, and your family will thrive again.

REMNANT - YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND A NEW RHYTHM

By Nate Johnston • 12 Jun, 2024
Remnant, You are in a Holy Spirit detour right now. You aren’t off course and haven’t missed your target. It’s not what you were expecting, but it’s not stagnation like it feels - it’s just the Lord pulling you into a moment of stillness and sudden hiddenness for what is about to take place. It’s the call to build a new foundation internally and the call to build the new foundation of a new era. Its both. Can you feel it? That is why you have felt lost, because you didn’t expect you would be dealing with the heart stuff. Your affections have changed. Your priorities have suddenly shifted. Yes, He is doing a new thing INSIDE you as He builds AROUND you. They are connected. A NEW RHYTHM Right now you are learning a different rhythm. You are being untangled and untethered from so many strings and ropes trying to keep you held tightly to their expectations and busy-ness. But the Lord is setting you free from all of them and leading you away from the exhaustion of the ministry golden calf and its subtle robbery. You see, the ministry machine doesn’t think of families, soul-health, or longevity, but devours anything it is given. And many have been consumed and spat out when they have nothing more to give. It’s left a trail of burn out and many who right now who are depleted but fighting the enemies agenda to take them out completely. It’s been 6 months of facing some difficult consequences and cleaning up the messes of years of being spread thin. So don’t run from it, and don’t fear it, because it’s your deliverance and your new beginning. On the other side is a fresh wind and a joy you didn’t even know could exist. On the other side is a wonder and a new adventure with the Lord that will make you come alive where religion shut you down and hedged you in. Let God redefine your mission, recalibrate your heart, and place His easy yoke upon you. Lean in...it’s about to get good again. BE REPLENISHED “Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” “So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook” - 1 Kings 17:2-6 Just as God led Elijah away to be replenished, right now God is pulling many away to be fed with fresh manna and revived again. This will be where you are healed from your long road of opposition and slander. This is where the weight you are carrying is removed once and for all. This is where the heavy yokes break. This is where God brings you back to your factory settings and gives you a new passion and zeal for HIS kingdom. This will be where you are rebranded so you can build the pure thing He has given you with nothing added. MOVEMENTS BIRTHED IN SECRET But this is not the way you expected it to come. You thought you would be building something in public but the Lord has led you away to birth this one because of its significance. The most impacting movements of 2025-2030 are right now being built quietly behind the scenes by a people on their faces before the lord. They aren’t in a boardroom with a group of entrepreneurs and strategists, but a small few who have given their lives to prayer and to restoring the fallen altar. They don’t have conference headlines in their sights or boosting social media followings. They aren’t interested in joining the latest hip apostolic network or getting the affirmation of Apollos. They have died to the machine and have zero desire and affection for the old regime. Right now they are in the last trimester and have gone underground to finish what God started long ago, and so to do so have separated themselves in the most crucial stage. In fact, they aren’t even trying to birth a movement, but are in a deep personal reset and purge from the last season of battle. But out of the ashes and pain of the old wineskin is emerging what is pure and not manufactured by man. It won’t look like anything else. It won’t have the hype. It won’t have the razz and marketing charisma of a movement. They will just be honest and pure expressions of the kingdom that come out of environments where people have valued the KING more than launching a brand. So to those carrying movements and feel this tension; This won’t be built by your hands, but God birthing through you. This is why you have felt the pull-back from the hustle for years now. This is why you have left so many tables. This is why your circle has gotten smaller and God has reduced your alignments. This is why your desire for the current model and ministry aspirations have died. This is why you have been set apart relationally yet again. This is why you are going through the deepest reset of your life. There is something that you are carrying that God is protective over and He is ensuring that THIS TIME it is not aborted!
