{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.

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

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

He will never slumber nor sleep;

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

Jehovah himself will watch over you;

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

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

He will keep you from every form of evil or calamity

as he continually watches over you.

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

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

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

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

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