{prophetic word and strategies in prayer}

By Christy Johnston

This morning I woke up with a strong sense in my spirit that God is calling His people to continue striking the ground in prayer with intensity, regardless of reports that we may be hearing. I had felt this intensity of prayer all night, as though my spirit was in warfare as I slept. When I woke up, my husband, Nate, told me how he had been up most of the night hearing coyotes. At 3am he had heard a pack of coyotes howling and drawing closer to our property. As they drew closer to our home, their howls were increasing with intensity, so he turned on the outside light which silenced them and he could just make out their shadows in the distance. I asked him where they were standing, remembering that just yesterday, I had felt to walk around our property and declare the Blood of Jesus over it. Walking every square inch of it, I applied the Blood and declared that no animals of prey could cross onto our land as we like to spend a lot of time outside and our daughters play there. Not knowing that I had done this, Nate confirmed that they were on the exact border of where I had prayed, but they did not cross over onto our land. 

I immediately felt this was prophetic of what is happening right now, and a picture of what God is speaking to us. The dogs of doom are howling at our borders, but as God’s people apply the powerful Blood of the Lamb over our territories, they are NOT permitted to cross over. As we draw closer to Passover- I believe we are going to see these dogs of doom- the fear and intensity that is being broadcast over the airwaves, increase, just as the coyotes howls and yips of intimidation increased with ferociousness as they drew near to our land – but be encouraged... it is only a sign that we are CLOSING IN on BREAKTHROUGH for they were unable to cross over our land where the blood had been applied. I feel it in my spirit, the tide is turning as God’s sons and daughters INCREASE the sound of their prayers and turn on THE light. A sound is going forth from the homes of God’s children, all across the earth – “YOU SHALL NOT PASS HERE! THIS IS OUR LAND! WE APPLY THE BLOOD!” As the sound of intimidation may increase, I encourage you, keep your eyes and ears FIXED on the SOUND of heaven. God is THUNDERING over his enemies and we WILL prevail by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony. I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT PARTNER WITH THE FEAR TACTICS of the enemy right now. Partner your voice with the POWER in the BLOOD.

EXALT THE NAME OF JESUS

Last week, I felt to put out an urgent call to prayer in agreement with Chuck Pierces prophecy that this would pass over by Passover. In his prophecy, Chuck writes; 

“At Starting the Year Off Right 2020, God was saying that there would be a massive plague-like invasion that would test us through Passover. When I prophesied that in Las Vegas on Jan. 26, I did get several comments and certain rebuttals for repeating that our nation would go into some sort of major trial through April. I believe that we are  seeing this not only in this nation, but throughout the nations at this time in history. In Joel 2 and 3, we find these statements: "Do not be afraid, land; exult and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things! Do not be afraid, beasts of the field, because the wild pastures flourish, because the tree bears its fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their abundance. And children of Zion, exult and rejoice in the Lord your God" (Joel 2:21-23a).” 

“Passover Will Become a Dividing Line

As God's kingdom people, we must understand this is where the Spirit of God now has us in the earth realm. We must always hear what the Spirit of God is saying to the church. Several interpretations could be given over the situation of COVID-19 as havoc occurs throughout the nations. Some would even say that this virus has stopped any movement where revival can continue. I would say: "God has put a  pause  until He sees who is willing to cross over with Him through His blood at Passover." This Passover will become a dividing line for our future!”

- Quoted from Chuck Pierce prophetic word. Source: https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/80444-chuck-pierce-prophesies-massive-plague-like-invasion-will-test-us-through-passover

I believe that as we continue to apply the Blood of Jesus over our homes, cities and Nations – refusing to give up or back down, we are going to see a physical shift from the moment of Passover. The question is, who is willing to contend?

TEARING DOWN STRONGHOLDS

We have now entered into the Hebrew month of Nisan which is considered the ‘head of the year’ in Jewish tradition. It is called ‘the month of miracles’, the month of Spring and the month of flowers. I believe this is again speaking into what God is calling us to align our authority to. Let us decree together, ‘this will be the month of MIRACLES.’ In Hebrew, it is called 'Chodesh ha-aviv'. 'Aviv' means, 'ripe head of the grain', and it signifies the beginning of Harvest. I believe we have literally crossed into the great harvest of the earth that has been prophesied for generations. What the enemy has intended for harm, God is turning around for His glory. Chuck Pierce also included this scripture in his prophetic word, which has been speaking profoundly to me of the prophetic solution we have been given in prayer for this hour:

‘The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved; He raised His voice; the earth melted ... Be still and know (recognize and understand) that I  Am  God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us... !" (Psalm 46:6, 10-11, AMP).

Where sin and fear has been wreaking havoc and attempting to exalt itself above the name of Jesus in this strategic moment in history, God is calling upon His people to EXALT the name of Jesus high above fear and death. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 tells us; ‘For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;    Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.’

Where the enemy has been working to exalt his name above Jesus, we stand as gatekeepers on the land and command every high and lofty thing to bow to the Name of Jesus. As watchman, we are bringing every demonic force into the captivity of Christ. This is a moment to exalt the Name of Jesus HIGH – over our homes, over our cities, and over our Nations.

THE NEW HAS COME.

As many of you know, Nate and I crossed into the U.S mere days before everything went into lockdown and on that first night, I had a significant dream. I dreamt that a bald eagle landed in our new yard. It was calling out and screeching loudly, perched atop a tree in our backyard. I was so intrigued by it in the dream, so I went and stood outside to see how close I could get to it. As I drew closer, it flew away, and I then heard another, quieter screeching sound. I looked for the sound and saw a baby bald eagle on the ground. The odd thing was, it had really long legs. I knew it needed nurturing because it had fallen out of the tree and it’s mother had flown away, so I began wandering around looking for someone to take care of it. I asked people I found walking along the street, “can you take care of this baby eagle? I don’t know how.” They looked at me puzzled and responded, “we can’t do that. It’s your job.”  When I woke up, I knew immediately what the Holy Spirit was conveying. I heard the scripture that has been repeated in my spirit all year, Isaiah 43:19.

I am doing something brand new,  something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Don’t you perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert.

God is thundering from heaven: “The old has gone, the new has come.” I believe this dream was speaking over America, but also, over what America represents for the Nations of the earth. As America prospers, so too do the Nations. I believe the baby bald eagle represents that a new move of His Spirit has been birthed. It is already here but it must be nurtured. I believe that the dream wasn’t speaking about me specifically, but what my calling is, and that is to pray, prophesy and intercede, and God is calling to His people to pray, prophesy and intercede over this new move. Where I felt unqualified to nurture this new baby eagle, it is God speaking to those of us who do not feel we have what it takes, but He is reaffirming you right now: “This is what I have called you to. I have called and anointed and appointed you to help nurture and usher in this new move of My Spirit. Do not look to the left or to the right, it is YOU that I have chosen and called for this hour.” Where the baby eagle had long legs, I believe this speaks of God raising up the United States to stand tall upon this new move of His spirit. Amazingly, I discovered that in our new city, there are a pair of bald eagles who live here and many people have been monitoring their nest. They reported that the pairs first egg hatched within days of this dream I had. This bald eagle pair have been aptly named, 'Guardian' and 'Liberty.' I believe this is also prophetic of what God is doing over the Nation of the United States, declaring that He is her protectively GUARDING this new birth of Liberty and Freedom

THE GREAT COMFORTER HAS COME.

I saw an update from President Trump this morning that immediately hit my spirit as profound. I saw that a hospital ship had entered into the harbour of New York City and its name is ‘Comfort.’ As soon as I saw that name, I felt the Holy Spirit whisper His heart to me and I began to weep over New York. “The Comforter has come. I have come to the cries of My people in the land.” I began to plead mercy over New York City. I believe that the mass bloodshed of innocents that was legalized and even celebrated just last year, has in essence, opened the doors wide for this plague to hit the streets of New York City with ferocity, but God is responding to the cries of His people and The Comforter has come, slamming the doors shut to the enemy. I feel the tender heart of the Father towards New York to plead mercy over her, and that He has responded with the sweet presence of His Comforting Holy Spirit. I encourage you in your own prayer time to continue to plead mercy over cities and Nations. God is responding on your behalf to the Nations of the earth.

This is not an hour to fear, this is your hour to ARISE and SHINE for your LIGHT has come. The light of Jesus shall be seen upon you and He is driving out the dogs of doom that have been barking at our doorsteps. He is driving out the demonic strongholds that have occupied the lands for too long, He is releasing the strategies and solutions of His heart, into the hearts of His people, to pray and declare, to decree that this SHALL PASS – and in it’s wake, a mighty move of His Spirit is HERE TO STAY.

(Updated: After posting this, I was notified that a second hospital ship was deployed to the U.S West Coast. This ships name: MERCY!!!) Friends, God is responding to the prayers of His people.

Prayer Strategies. 

I want to reiterate these simple, but profoundly powerful prayer strategies that the Spirit of God has been confirming again and again through multiple prophets:

Plead the Blood of Jesus.

Just as the Israelites were required to physically apply the blood of a lamb over their doorposts, God is calling on His people to actively apply the Blood of THE Lamb over their homes, cities and Nations. I encourage you to drive around your neighbourhood (you can remain in safe social distancing in your car) and do this, walk around your property, declare the Blood of the Lamb over your family, your home, your city and your Nation. 

Claim Psalm 91 and take daily communion. 

This strategy is for your immediate family. It is the promise of God’s protection over you and your children and your children’s children in these times.

Humble ourselves and pray

2 Chronicles 7:14 is a powerful scripture of declaration that has been resounding in this moment. God is asking His children to humble themselves and pray on behalf of the Nations, to ask for the forgiveness of the sins that have exalted themselves in our lands – abortion, self-righteousness, pride, arrogance, where the nations have attempted to push Him out, the lies of the media etc. Petition the Father for forgiveness over our own sins and the sins of the land.

EXALT the Name of Jesus.

Exalt His Name above all other Names. The Name of Jesus tears down the strongholds that have been exalted in His place. I believe this ‘pause’ moment we are in, is to specifically LIFT His name HIGH and command every dog of doom to BOW to Him. This is a territorial declaration over the ground of your jurisdiction. Declare that the Name of Jesus ALONE stands as King over your region. Where sin has been enthroned, dethrone it and enthrone the Name of Jesus. Worship Him in your homes with your family.

SPEAK the answer.

The answer is Jesus. Speak His comfort. Speak His peace. Speak His hope. Declare the end from the beginning: a MIGHTY outpouring of His Spirit is on the horizon, and it will COVER THE EARTH in His Glory! 

Finally, be encouraged. You are not alone, God is not surprised by all that is happening, He is with you, He is for you and He is standing guard over you. Now lift up your voice, mighty ones, and declare His name and SHOUT his Victory - the tide is TURNING!

His Promise over you as your keep your eyes HIGH above this storm:

I look up to the mountains and hills, longing for God’s help.

But then I realize that our true help and protection

come only from the Lord,

our Creator who made the heavens and the earth.

3  He will guard and guide me, never letting me stumble or fall.

God is my keeper; he will never forget nor ignore me.

4  He will never slumber nor sleep;

he is the Guardian-God for his people, Israel.

5  Jehovah himself will watch over you;

he’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence.

6  He’s protecting you from all danger both day and night.

7  He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity

as he continually watches over you.

8  You will be guarded by God himself.

You will be safe when you leave your home

and safely you will return.

He will protect you now,

and he’ll protect you forevermore!

Psalm 121 TPT
Sow a seed

BEYOND THIS POINT EXPECT DIFFERENT

By Nate Johnston • November 20, 2024
A few days ago, I shared a few thoughts I had randomly posted on social media about how things were going to look different in the days ahead. They bubbled out of my spirit because it just felt overwhelmingly obvious and apparent that there had been a shift. But I felt I needed to give a little more language to this. Now that we are here, I can see how the last four years have been leading us to this very point. Maybe even the last 7 years too. While this word is not political in nature—and regardless of where you stand—it has to be said - the recent election was a major tectonic shift, not only for the United States but for the world. It was that significant. A marker moment. In the spirit, I could see it—a major eruption in the deep that ignited thousands more around the world. I knew right then and there that things were never going to be the same again. It’s crazy how one event can spark so many others, but that’s exactly what it felt like. The world I knew and the life I knew before that day were going to be different. It’s like when 9/11 happened. The world changed in a moment. And in the same way—except positively—this one event converged with the timing of heaven, where God was unleashing something upon the earth. WELCOME TO THE NEW DAWN I believe we are at the dawn of a new day in the body of Christ. But a change that I believe is going to challenge us all deeply. It’s going to challenge us to abandon the survival mentality we’ve grown used to over the years. Suddenly, a door has opened and we are on the other side of something. Soon we will see that the battles of yesterday will fade away as we discover we are no longer in that valley we have camped in for years. We will no longer wrestle with many of the battles that defined the previous season. We may no longer deal with constant red tape and bureaucracy, delays, hope deferred, constant difficulties, or relentless warfare over simple things. But it’s not that there are no battles anymore—it’s just that the nature of the battle has shifted. When Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, the battle didn’t stop—it changed form. In the wilderness, their struggles were rooted in the harsh environment, discouragement, disappointment, and the mindset of slavery in Egypt. But as soon as they entered the Promised Land, they were surrounded by incredible wealth, resources, and food. They no longer faced the wilderness battles they once did. Instead, they faced new giants in the land. The battle shifted from mental and emotional challenges to an offensive conquest to take territory and evict its inhabitants. After years in the wilderness the Israelites had to learn to wield their sword again and fight with authority. But to effectively wage war in their new season, they had to believe they were powerful and walk in their authority. I believe that’s where we are right now - a season of governmental occupation. The things we’ve been contending for and persisting in may no longer be relevant. We’re shifting into an entirely new playing field of kingdom conquest. And if you are wondering what the next chapter looks like this is what I see. Battles and dead giants. Challenges and great victories. The stakes have gone up but you and I were born for this. It’s going to cause the spiritually dead to come alive and run into their destiny! Beyond this moment, the body of Christ is stepping into something radically different and we need new eyes to see it so we don’t fall back into the death of routine. THE WINESKIN IS CHANGING For years we have known that the old, tattered wineskin we’ve held onto for so long is no longer effective. It cannot sustain the move of God starting to crash on our shores. In fact, when God shows up our current wineskin will seem embarrassing if we are still holding it. Many will see that they haven’t been ready. We’ve been trying to contain God, use God, monopolize God, and brand every revival under our banner. But worse we have believed revival to be one thing based on old seasons when it now looks completely different. There will be no experts beyond this point —only novices at the feet of Jesus. Those sitting on lofty thrones of ambition and milestones will find their structures collapsing. We can no longer build our lives around museums of the past. We must fix our gaze on the future and where God is leading us. A NEW IDENTITY This is a season where God is redefining how we see ourselves in Christ. Over the last four years, God’s people have seen themselves in such a small light. We’ve underestimated who we are in Him, and God is now reinventing us. He’s reminding us of who we are. God is calling us to pull out the stones of remembrance. He’s saying: “Remember where you’ve been. Remember what I’ve brought you through. Now look ahead to where you’re going.” This is the dawn of a new day, a new beginning. We are shifting from survival mentality and wilderness thinking into a place of thriving. We are rediscovering what it means to live with inheritance. We’re returning to sonship and being fathered by God in ways we’ve lost sight of. We’re returning to the BURNING of the original call and fire in our bellies that sent us out. The old map is the new map I hear the lord saying. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION This is an hour of deliverance—not just from old methods and traditions but also from the things we’ve normalized. We’ve normalized mental health struggles, depression, and dysphoria. We’ve coddled demons and called it loving or comforting. Now, God is addressing these areas where the church has fallen for other lovers. He’s confronting the lies we’ve believed about ourselves and about Him. As we step into this new day, it will be both confronting and freeing. It’s the tension of saying: “Thank God that season is over!” But also: “Oh no, it’s time to put my big boy pants on.” Yes, this change requires greater maturity and responsibility. THE CICADA STUCK ON THE TREE As I shared that small word I had a glimpse of a childhood memory. Of a favorite tree I used to climb that regularly had hundreds of cicada shells on it. I knew the lord was speaking to me about the church. You see, we have talked for years about the new era, the crossing over, the new wineskin, and the changing of the guard in the church. We have said statements like “The age of empires is over, and the days of family have begun.” But what does that mean and what is the cicada? The cicada is the church and the shell is the church coming out of an old and outdated way. We have been in a season of grace to transition out but now it’s time to leave it in the tree. Let it die. And finally come back to the original plan. Why because Acts 2 is upon us! We are coming back, full circle to Gods first church and shedding off the layers of man. HUMILITY AND AWAKENING Right now many trying to sustain the old regime are growing weary. They’ll soon realize it’s time to lay down their hats and surrender at His feet. Even those who have been worker bees for the old hive are feeling the pull of this awakening. Blindfolds are coming off en masse. There will be a brief coup—a deviant sect claiming to be the new thing but rooted in humanism and man’s wisdom. They will reject the call to humility. For a while, it may seem to divide prophetic voices. But once the fresh move of God crashes upon the earth, even these will repent and surrender. This move will humble the proud, and brokenness will bring deliverance to the rebellious. We will witness thousands running to the altar to exchange their achievements for a glimpse of His face—the very thing they started out pursuing. ALL FOR HIM What we thought was the kingdom is being redefined. What we thought was Jesus is being made clear. All false gospels are being exposed. In this moment, the Father is delivering us from religion and our own ambitions. He is aligning our calling with His purposes. He is becoming our everything. And I don’t know about you, but I can’t do things the same anymore. It’s no longer a time to fear man, rely on common sense, or prioritize rationale. We must move where He is moving—at all costs. DIAGNOSING THE SEASON The change is in the air. You can feel it. It’s as if the spiritual temperature around you has shifted—something is different, and you can’t ignore it. Here are some practical indicators of a season change: You sense an internal shift. Your desires and appetites have changed. What once satisfied you no longer feels relevant, and you find yourself longing for something new, something deeper. You feel like you can’t go back, even if you tried. The door to the old season has been shut, and there’s no way to reopen it. God is making it clear that what was behind you is no longer an option. There’s an urgency or longing that wasn’t there yesterday. Perhaps you feel a fresh sense of expectancy stirring in your spirit—like the ground beneath you is about to move, and you need to be ready to act. You can feel the weight of the shift. Even if you can’t fully articulate it, you know that the path ahead is uncharted, and God is inviting you to trust Him in a new way. Take time to tune into what the Holy Spirit is saying in this moment. Ask yourself, “What is He calling me to leave behind? What is He drawing me toward? What doors are opening, and which ones have closed?” This is not a time to resist the shift—it’s a time to step into it with faith and courage. God is moving, and He’s calling you to move with Him. PIONEERING A NEW PATH And we have entered a season of fresh pioneering. The old ways of advancing the kingdom will no longer work because God is leading us into uncharted territory. We can’t rely on formulas, traditions, or comfort zones. We must embrace the new path God is carving out before us. This requires us to step out in faith, even when we don’t have all the answers. Pioneering isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about trusting the One who goes before us. Just as the Israelites had to follow the Ark of the Covenant into the unknown, we must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and move where He leads. Pioneers it’s time again ti create pathways for others to follow. This is your moment to rise. THE CHARGE TO RENEGADES AND THE NEW DAY SCRIBES And just as we need pioneers, we need untamed renegades and new day scribes and prophets to write the introduction to this new chapter and lead us forward. This is not a time for polished perfection or cookie-cutter ministry. This is a time for wild obedience, raw passion, and unrelenting faith. Renegades, the body of Christ needs your courage. You were made to confront the giants in the land and tear down the altars of compromise. Your boldness will inspire others to rise up and take their place in this new era. Scribes and prophets, your words will ignite fires of revival. Pick up your pens. Open your mouths. The Spirit of God is ready to pour out fresh revelation through you. This generation needs your voice to declare the truths of heaven. Write the blueprints. Prophesy the new path. Lead the charge. We need your untamed hearts to step into this season unafraid of man’s opinions. We need your voices to call the church back to purity and intimacy with Jesus. This is your commissioning moment. I feel to say this - the fresh permission of heaven is upon you! Go where no one else will go. Say what no one else will say. Build what no one else will build. The world is waiting. The church is waiting. Heaven is watching. Let’s turn the page together. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.” Exodus 14:15 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.” Isaiah 54:2-3 

A TIME OF DIVISION & DECISION

By Nate Johnston • November 19, 2024
On Sunday, the 17th of November 2024, I had a vision of a field being harvested by a massive harvester. As I got closer to the field, I could see that over half of it was not full of wheat but full of weeds. And I said, “Lord, what is this? What are we looking at?” Knowing already, I realized I was seeing the tares among the wheat. I began to feel discouraged that there were actually so many weeds. This isn’t the great harvest that I believed I would see in my lifetime. And the Lord said to me, “No, this is the harvest before the harvest. This is the time of division that brings repentance and a decision for the body of Christ, so that the next harvest we step into will be the great harvest that was prophesied.” It was then that I saw the harvesting machine crush down the weeds into the soil. And then I felt like the Lord was saying, “But this will be one of the most fruitful times, because the weeds that have been working against the wheat all this time will now be used as fertilizer for the harvest.” This is not a time to fear as things suddenly feel more divided, because it’s not a time of polarizing or dividing the church but of bringing those who have not been bearing fruit—and who have been listening to the voice of the enemy—into a time of great decision. “Will they choose Me, or will they choose man? Will they follow Jesus, or will they follow another version of Jesus?” I heard Him say. Friends, I believe that right now we can either look at the division around us on the earth as something negative, or we can see it as part of a harvest that is leading and pointing us to the greater harvest that has been prophesied. It’s not a time to get discouraged or to hang up our tools. It’s not a time to stop speaking or to stop forging ahead. It’s actually a time to celebrate and get ready because God is leading us toward the great harvest. We’re going to see an incredible reaping of souls in the days to come. I truly believe this is the time where the Lord is saying, “Get the barn ready. Get the barn ready for what I’m about to pour out!” Don’t look to the critics or the naysayers. Don’t look to those who are prophesying doom and gloom, because God is not done with America, and He’s not done with the nations. For while there will be great tension and clashing of ideals and kingdoms, this will be the shaking that shakes the church awake and the right way up! Acts 2 is already upon us and our best days are ahead.

We are rediscovering what it means to live with inheritance. We’re returning to sonship and being fathered by God in ways we’ve lost sight of. We’re returning to the BURNING of the original call and fire in our bellies that sent us out. The old map is the new map I hear the lord saying. DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION This is an hour of deliverance—not just from old methods and traditions but also from the things we’ve normalized. We’ve normalized mental health struggles, depression, and dysphoria. We’ve coddled demons and called it loving or comforting. Now, God is addressing these areas where the church has fallen for other lovers. He’s confronting the lies we’ve believed about ourselves and about Him. As we step into this new day, it will be both confronting and freeing. It’s the tension of saying: “Thank God that season is over!” But also: “Oh no, it’s time to put my big boy pants on.” Yes, this change requires greater maturity and responsibility. THE CICADA STUCK ON THE TREE As I shared that small word I had a glimpse of a childhood memory. Of a favorite tree I used to climb that regularly had hundreds of cicada shells on it. I knew the lord was speaking to me about the church. You see, we have talked for years about the new era, the crossing over, the new wineskin, and the changing of the guard in the church. We have said statements like “The age of empires is over, and the days of family have begun.” But what does that mean and what is the cicada? The cicada is the church and the shell is the church coming out of an old and outdated way. We have been in a season of grace to transition out but now it’s time to leave it in the tree. Let it die. And finally come back to the original plan. Why because Acts 2 is upon us! We are coming back, full circle to Gods first church and shedding off the layers of man. HUMILITY AND AWAKENING Right now many trying to sustain the old regime are growing weary. They’ll soon realize it’s time to lay down their hats and surrender at His feet. Even those who have been worker bees for the old hive are feeling the pull of this awakening. Blindfolds are coming off en masse. There will be a brief coup—a deviant sect claiming to be the new thing but rooted in humanism and man’s wisdom. They will reject the call to humility. For a while, it may seem to divide prophetic voices. But once the fresh move of God crashes upon the earth, even these will repent and surrender. This move will humble the proud, and brokenness will bring deliverance to the rebellious. We will witness thousands running to the altar to exchange their achievements for a glimpse of His face—the very thing they started out pursuing. ALL FOR HIM What we thought was the kingdom is being redefined. What we thought was Jesus is being made clear. All false gospels are being exposed. In this moment, the Father is delivering us from religion and our own ambitions. He is aligning our calling with His purposes. He is becoming our everything. And I don’t know about you, but I can’t do things the same anymore. It’s no longer a time to fear man, rely on common sense, or prioritize rationale. We must move where He is moving—at all costs. DIAGNOSING THE SEASON The change is in the air. You can feel it. It’s as if the spiritual temperature around you has shifted—something is different, and you can’t ignore it. Here are some practical indicators of a season change: You sense an internal shift. Your desires and appetites have changed. What once satisfied you no longer feels relevant, and you find yourself longing for something new, something deeper. You feel like you can’t go back, even if you tried. The door to the old season has been shut, and there’s no way to reopen it. God is making it clear that what was behind you is no longer an option. There’s an urgency or longing that wasn’t there yesterday. Perhaps you feel a fresh sense of expectancy stirring in your spirit—like the ground beneath you is about to move, and you need to be ready to act. You can feel the weight of the shift. Even if you can’t fully articulate it, you know that the path ahead is uncharted, and God is inviting you to trust Him in a new way. Take time to tune into what the Holy Spirit is saying in this moment. Ask yourself, “What is He calling me to leave behind? What is He drawing me toward? What doors are opening, and which ones have closed?” This is not a time to resist the shift—it’s a time to step into it with faith and courage. God is moving, and He’s calling you to move with Him. PIONEERING A NEW PATH And we have entered a season of fresh pioneering. The old ways of advancing the kingdom will no longer work because God is leading us into uncharted territory. We can’t rely on formulas, traditions, or comfort zones. We must embrace the new path God is carving out before us. This requires us to step out in faith, even when we don’t have all the answers. Pioneering isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about trusting the One who goes before us. Just as the Israelites had to follow the Ark of the Covenant into the unknown, we must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and move where He leads. Pioneers it’s time again ti create pathways for others to follow. This is your moment to rise. THE CHARGE TO RENEGADES AND THE NEW DAY SCRIBES And just as we need pioneers, we need untamed renegades and new day scribes and prophets to write the introduction to this new chapter and lead us forward. This is not a time for polished perfection or cookie-cutter ministry. This is a time for wild obedience, raw passion, and unrelenting faith. Renegades, the body of Christ needs your courage. You were made to confront the giants in the land and tear down the altars of compromise. Your boldness will inspire others to rise up and take their place in this new era. Scribes and prophets, your words will ignite fires of revival. Pick up your pens. Open your mouths. The Spirit of God is ready to pour out fresh revelation through you. This generation needs your voice to declare the truths of heaven. Write the blueprints. Prophesy the new path. Lead the charge. We need your untamed hearts to step into this season unafraid of man’s opinions. We need your voices to call the church back to purity and intimacy with Jesus. This is your commissioning moment. I feel to say this - the fresh permission of heaven is upon you! Go where no one else will go. Say what no one else will say. Build what no one else will build. The world is waiting. The church is waiting. Heaven is watching. Let’s turn the page together. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.” Exodus 14:15 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.” Isaiah 54:2-3 

A TIME OF DIVISION & DECISION

By Nate Johnston • November 19, 2024
On Sunday, the 17th of November 2024, I had a vision of a field being harvested by a massive harvester. As I got closer to the field, I could see that over half of it was not full of wheat but full of weeds. And I said, “Lord, what is this? What are we looking at?” Knowing already, I realized I was seeing the tares among the wheat. I began to feel discouraged that there were actually so many weeds. This isn’t the great harvest that I believed I would see in my lifetime. And the Lord said to me, “No, this is the harvest before the harvest. This is the time of division that brings repentance and a decision for the body of Christ, so that the next harvest we step into will be the great harvest that was prophesied.” It was then that I saw the harvesting machine crush down the weeds into the soil. And then I felt like the Lord was saying, “But this will be one of the most fruitful times, because the weeds that have been working against the wheat all this time will now be used as fertilizer for the harvest.” This is not a time to fear as things suddenly feel more divided, because it’s not a time of polarizing or dividing the church but of bringing those who have not been bearing fruit—and who have been listening to the voice of the enemy—into a time of great decision. “Will they choose Me, or will they choose man? Will they follow Jesus, or will they follow another version of Jesus?” I heard Him say. Friends, I believe that right now we can either look at the division around us on the earth as something negative, or we can see it as part of a harvest that is leading and pointing us to the greater harvest that has been prophesied. It’s not a time to get discouraged or to hang up our tools. It’s not a time to stop speaking or to stop forging ahead. It’s actually a time to celebrate and get ready because God is leading us toward the great harvest. We’re going to see an incredible reaping of souls in the days to come. I truly believe this is the time where the Lord is saying, “Get the barn ready. Get the barn ready for what I’m about to pour out!” Don’t look to the critics or the naysayers. Don’t look to those who are prophesying doom and gloom, because God is not done with America, and He’s not done with the nations. For while there will be great tension and clashing of ideals and kingdoms, this will be the shaking that shakes the church awake and the right way up! Acts 2 is already upon us and our best days are ahead.
