“TAKE A LOOK AROUND & SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME!” A LETTER FROM THE FATHER

“TAKE A LOOK AROUND & SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME!” A LETTER FROM THE FATHER

I had an audible dream last night where Father God spoke to me in a heart to heart way. I woke up and wrote down what I remembered and I knew this was a letter to all of us, an encouragement for making it through a long season, and a re-focus for the months to come. I pray this speaks directly to your heart and draws you into even deeper dialogue with Him this month.

“WELL DONE FOR ENDURING THE PROCESS”

Firstly I heard Him say “Well done. Well done for enduring the process I have taken you through even though at times it has felt more than you could handle. Well done for allowing my purifying fire to come into every facet of your life. It was never meant to expose you but to remove every contaminate that would trip you up down the road. Well done, I am so proud of you! I have been on a mission to bring you out of the dark ages of your faith where constant trials were sent to overwhelm you and steal your heart from me, but they didn’t succeed. I saw all the other affections and I’m a jealous God. I saw all the other distractions looking for a way into your world. I saw all the arrows of the enemy wanting to pierce you in the back and steal you from me and I knew I needed to alter the course of your life to finally bring you into the fullness you kept asking me for. Well done for clinging to me even when you doubted my methods. Well done for worshipping me in the waiting”

“HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HOPE FULFILLED LOOKS LIKE?”

“My goodness never left you. It never waned even for a moment. I didn’t leave you or abandon you. But I saw you at times walking around defeated and lost, somehow convinced that hopelessness would always be a part of your life, believing that loss and settling for second best is the best life you can hope for. What happened? Have you forgotten what hope fulfilled looks like? Has it been so long? This month I am going to pull you out of defeat and seat you at the table. I am going to cause every root of hopelessness to be outnumbered by new springs of hope. I am going to remind and restore what you lost in the long road and process to where you are so you quit thinking that I don’t live up to what I promise. I DO NOT LIE, and you are about to be reminded that my promises for you are yes and amen. I’m removing the tiredness from your heart where you felt this was all on you. I am healing your heart from the toll the warfare and opposition had on you. I am taking away the slumber that kept tempting you to sleep away the season, and I am giving you back your strength and you will remember what it is to laugh and be genuinely happy and fulfilled. I will restore you and give you REST, so rest in me and watch what I do for you”

“LOOK WHAT WE HAVE BUILT TOGETHER!”

Then I heard Him say “Look what we built together! Can you see it! Can you see the beauty through all of the mess you have had surrounding you? It’s time to stop beating yourself up for how you have perceived you have navigated this difficult time and begin to celebrate that you have made it through some of life’s greatest obstacles and defeated the most intimidating giants. You stood well. You fought well. You have continued to hope even despite not seeing immediate change. Even when you only saw delay and discouragement crouched at your door. Now LOOK and see what we have built together. In the next month, you are going to see the fresh buds of life come from the most unexpected places and fruit where you never realized were producing for you. Seeds you have sown that died, DREAMS you once had are NOW going to be resurrected but with interest!”

(When I woke up from this dream it was 4:20 am and I knew God was even speaking through that)

“But the seed sown on good soil represents those who open their hearts to receive the Word and their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even one hundred times more than was sown!” Mark 4:20

“TAKE A LOOK AROUND, YOU ARE NOT WHERE YOU WERE!”

“In the shaking, you have been fully awoken. In the wilderness and greatest battle of your life, you have been anointed with my oil. Yes, that’s right. I know it’s not what you expected. It’s not the destiny-package you were hoping for but you haven’t even seen the pages of your book yet to come. You have been stuck on the moment you are in and haven’t measured this transition next to eternity, but let me tell you, you haven’t just survived, you have been revived! It may not look like it yet but one day soon you will realize that this season of shaking was your set up, your preparation, your making! The enemy intended it to be your undoing but it didn’t work! Instead, it was your consecration, your knighting, your commissioning, and coronation. Now take a look around and see that you are not where you used to be. I have removed you from so many vices that once entangled you. I have loosed you from the places that kept you bound. Apathy and complacency are no longer suffocating the life out of you and you are no longer in a place of limitation. Can you see the wide-open space before you? Prepare your heart for this”

“THIS MONTH YOU’LL KNOW ME AS PROVIDER & SUPPLIER!”

“Stop asking for the scraps from under the table,” He said. “I want you to know my heart for you in this season regarding your finances and resources. You need to be fully and intimately acquainted with my goodness over your life and know that I not only desire for you to be looked after but I need you to grow in this area so I can grow you into the territory I have given you. You can’t keep having a poverty mindset when I’ve called you to the land of milk and honey. There are nations that need to be discipled and cities that need to be reached but if you keep not expecting me to provide for the vision that I gave you, how will the kingdom be released? This is a month that I am going to stretch you to believe beyond what you have before. I am calling you to ENLARGE and stretch out wider. Your vision has to get much bigger than it has been. I am breaking the survival mentality off the church and healing the wounds of lack of integrity and fear of failure. This will be a month you know me as provider and supplier. So ask me, what do you need? What does the destiny I have placed in you require? Dream with me again. Go back to the drawing board and believe beyond where you have and don’t stop til what you envision looks impossible. I am serving justice upon the assignments that have come to continually rob your bread and seed and caused my people to retreat. No, you will now advance and plant, move out of lack and into more than enough!”

“PIONEER WITH ME”

It is time to finally move on from this place. It has served its purpose, but now the scenery must change just like everything else has. You mustn’t think your whole existence will be in the trenches. You are called to a war but that doesn’t mean you are meant to live in the valley of the shadow of death, no, I have been teaching you how to come up out of that place and live higher. I have been calling you up into new ways of viewing all that opposes you so you aren’t surrendering to the wrong thing. So now you are moving on from this place and we are going on a brand new adventure together. There will be many unknowns and many new roads we forge but you will find your passion again and know I am running with you. It will keep requiring courage and letting go of doing things how you once did, but it will be full of so much joy. Yes, the pages of history are before us and we are going to write them together. Will you join me?

“Yet I totally trust you to rescue me one more time, so that I can see once again how good you are while I’m still alive!” Psalms 27:13

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever” Psalm 23:6

I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF RAIN!

By Nate Johnston • June 27, 2025
I have a short word of hope and encouragement to share with you today.. I woke up earlier this week and I felt something I haven’t felt in years.. Like the fresh smell of rain in the distance. I could actually smell it and my spirit began to burn with excitement yet it didn’t make sense. Like Elijah’s servant seeing the cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon. What’s coming? I didn’t feel fear. I felt hope. Change. Courage. A new chapter rolling in. Drought turning into a downpour. Jezebels curse breaking off the land after a showdown on the heights. Whooooooooooosh… the sound of wind rolling in over the desert plains and the four winds rushing around the decommissioned and those in spiritual death. It doesn’t make sense. Wars. Rumors of wars. What is coming Lord? I can hear the sound of rain. Coming to wash the land and usher in revival. I feel the morning dew on my feet of a new day dawning after being in midnight for so long… And I feel like we are coming out of a dark winter. Winters death. And right now I can see the tired old casing that had been spiritually resting on us lifting. The old mantle. The old cocoon. The wandering in the desert. The long and hard battle that has seeped into our skin and worn us down little by little. Burnt out. Used up. Exhausted… dead even. But I could see for the first time a muscle coming to the surface. A fight and a stamina I haven’t felt in years. A ferocity humming under the surface of the deep. Brrrrrrrrrr. Like tremors unsettling the debris, ashes, and rubble that we have collected. Old warriors rising.. The disillusioned rising with new eyes and un-yoked from the past. Yes, winter has passed. Springtime has come. A ripening is here. Hunger is here. Awakening is here in the worst of moments for it to come by natural standards. But that’s when it rolls in and does the most damage against darkness. Like Jesus waking up Lazarus who was 4 days dead, God right now is waking up his church. Chaos surrounds us in the earth but if you’ll ascend the hill of the Lord you’ll see it - the season has changed. You are coming into a new day, out of defeat, apathy, robbery, and putting on strength, hope, and clarity in Jesus name, and God is turning dead bones army back into an army of hope carriers and storm breakers again!

FIREBRANDS, GOD IS PLACING FRESH FIRE ON YOUR HANDS AND FEET!

THERE’S BEEN A MIND-BLINDING SPIRIT WARRING!

By Nate Johnston • June 25, 2025
We are right now in the greatest mind war of our time. The Lord spoke to me recently and said, “I’m coming against the mind-blinding spirit that has come over My people.” You see, right now we’re looking at the potential of World War III between Israel and Iran. We’re also facing the possibility of civil war breaking out in multiple areas of the U.S. over controversial issues. But the real World War III has already begun, and that is the world war of the mind. The spirit of this age has crept in deceptively through fear, culture, and media to hit the Body of Christ from so many angles, for so long, that we have become a people being pillaged and plundered in our minds on a daily basis. Recently, the Lord led me to the scripture in John 11:16 when Jesus was going to return to Jerusalem; “Then Thomas said to the rest of the disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him.’” Thomas, whose name [Didymus] means “twin,” also represents the double-minded. I asked, “Lord, what are you trying to show me?” And He showed me: there is a double-mindedness, a spirit of confusion that has come upon the Church. It’s leading people away from the Gospel, away from the narrow path, and trying to reason the Church out of its calling and destiny, even in the midst of chaos. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that has come against the Church, cloaked in wisdom and common sense, to lead her into deception. It’s leading the Church away from truth under the guise of love, tolerance, and acceptance. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that speaks fear, gloom, and doom over these times when we are called to speak hope and redemption, and lead the Church into her greatest days. It’s a mind-blinding spirit that says, “Your greatest days are over,” simply because we’re in a season of storms and battles. It’s trying to shut down the Church and make her powerless, when this is a time we are called to wield the power of the Holy Spirit. This spirit is trying to lead the Church into a false sense of safety, when we are meant to be called into discomfort to see the greatest move of God hit the earth. This mind-blinding spirit has created a chatter of witchcraft. It has warred against believers, created factions, and caused us to rise up against one another, tearing each other down. It’s created confusion to such a degree that many are coming into agreement with the accuser of the brethren, with the enemy, on many fronts. But this is not the heart of the Lord. The Lord said to me, “I am warring against this spirit right now.” There is a war, and the Lord is actively warring against the mind-blinding spirit. I believe He is saying over us: He’s bringing us back into peace and clarity. He’s bringing us back into oneness, into single-mindedness. It says in Matthew 6:22: “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy [single], your whole body will be full of light.” This reminds me of when Elisha’s servant was gripped by fear because he could not see what was really happening in the spirit. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha (2 Kings 6:16–17). This is our prayer today: Lord, open our eyes! We must see what’s happening spiritually and naturally. We must stop interpreting life from the ground level and begin to see from the throne room. The blindfolds are being removed. The fog is lifting. It’s time to come out of earthly thinking. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Ephesians 2:6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” We are not victims of the news; we are the watchmen of the hour, the voices that declare from the heights what God is doing in the valleys. Right now, the Lord is delivering the Church. He’s going to use situations around us to deliver us from our own deception where we have partnered with the enemy, with the accuser, with fear, with compromise, with lukewarmness, and with false wisdom. So even now, if you’ve felt like you’ve come under torment, confusion, or compromise, if you feel the weight of heaviness, and it’s brought conflict or distance between you and the Lord, and the pure call on your life, reject it now. Renounce it. Tear up any vows or agreements you’ve made with it. Lay your hands upon your head and pray: “Lord, as an act of my will, I come out of double-mindedness. I repent for double-mindedness. Deliver me from witchcraft, from chatter, and from this mind-blinding spirit and its assignment. I rebuke it now in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare that my dreams will be restored. My visions will be restored. Revelation will be restored. I come back into sync with Heaven, with hope, and I will see clearly in the days ahead.” Because the real war, the real purpose behind this battle, is that the enemy knows if the Church is blind, we will be unable to see in this critical hour. We will be walking with blindfolds when we are called to see, declare, and prophesy what God is doing in the midst of so much unrest and chaos. We are the news, my friends. We are the beacons of hope, the bell ringers of a new day. No matter what’s going on in the world, we carry hope, strategy, and redemption. Step back into clarity and peace in the name of Jesus. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” — 2 Corinthians 4:4

JULY IS THE MARKER - WE ARE ENTERING THE GREAT CONTRADICTION

By Nate Johnston • June 23, 2025
Christy and I have this saying: that after a day, a week, or a season of warfare, watch because suddenly the snake’s head is revealed. It’s happened like clockwork over the years, where after intense seasons of warfare, or even just a crazy day of warfare, like clockwork, the next day or in a short period of time, the snake’s head would be revealed. It might be that email that comes in, revealing what’s been spoken about you. It might be that intimidation, that threat. Whatever it may be, it’s the snake’s head revealing itself. And it reveals that the enemy has been warring against you. And why? I say that to get to this point. I believe we’ve been in a window of time of tests, trials, and warfare. When we stepped into January 2025, I felt it: it was going to be a faith test. It was going to be a test of whether I’d stick out my calling, stick to the plan, whether I would stay on mission, the one God gave me. Whether I would remain strong, or crumble and fall. Because you see, there’s been an attack against believers since January that has been on another level. And that attack has been designed to surround you on every single side until you crumble. It’s like when Jesus was led into the wilderness and had to battle in His mind, to combat the enemy’s tactics over and over. We’ve been in a season where the enemy’s been relentlessly trying to give us easy way outs, second options, off-ramps at every turn, trying to get us to back out of the call of God, choose the easy thing, or create Ishmaels along the way. Have you felt this? The warfare has been intense. The shadow has increased. The slander has increased. Robbery has come from every single side. Health issues. Bank accounts depleted. Doors shutting. It has been relentless. Yet at the same time, I believe God wants to see what we would do in this moment because He knows what’s coming. It’s been a Romans 8:18 moment, where we’ve seen a whole new level of pain, but it’s going to be followed by glory. So, what I want to share with you is what I believe God is doing from July onwards. In Luke 4:14, it says, “that after He came out of the wilderness, He returned in the power of the Spirit.” I believe that as we step into July, we’re about to see the glory revealed in the very areas where there’s been robbery. We’re about to see the glory revealed in the very places that were tests. We are coming out of that place. And you might be thinking, “Well, this doesn’t make sense. The world’s in chaos. Things are going crazy.” Yes, those things will continue. But I’m speaking to you as a believer about what God is doing in your life, and in the life of the Church. I believe we are entering a shift. A turning of the tide. I believe that starting in July, we’re turning a spiritual corner. For those who have said, “Okay, God, I’m not going to fight against You. I’m not going to resist this process, because in it, there’s protection. In it, You’ve been breaking me out of comforts, breaking me out of mindsets and mentalities I’ve carried, that only warfare could have confronted.” I believe we’re now beginning to see the glory that He has been wanting to reveal and showcase in our lives this whole time. I believe the next six months will be a strange contradiction. I believe in the next six months things will look wild and chaotic in the natural. We’re going to see things happen and erupt in the financial markets and on the world stage. Things will continue to intensify and look debilitating, even hopeless. Yet the strange contradiction will be this: somehow, you’ll feel like your role has flipped. Whereas before, you felt safer in the natural while everything was falling apart spiritually, now it’s like the reverse. You’ll feel an internal strength and clarity in the Spirit, even while the world’s systems shake around you. God is beginning to reveal Himself on your behalf. I believe we’re in a massive turnaround season for those who will reach out and say, “Yes, okay, God.” There is going to be a massive turnaround financially for the Church. We are entering into days where God is bringing in a billion-soul harvest. Things are ripening. Revival is breaking out in messy ways, but glorious ways. And in these next six months, the Lord is declaring over you: You’re turning a corner. You’re going to see the glory now. Where you’ve seen shaking, where you’ve seen suffering, you will now experience My goodness, My mercy, My favor. It’s the Psalm 23 moment where the Lord seats you at the table in the presence of your enemies and anoints your head with oil. So get ready, Body of Christ, because we are entering into the days of the great contradiction. The shaking will continue, but now it will begin to reveal the glory in your life. These are the days of leaving the wilderness endued with power. And just like I said at the beginning, watch for the snake’s head. Because in this moment, God is not just exposing it, He’s empowering you to crush it. The very thing that’s come after you is about to be under your feet. The warfare has been real, the pressure has been intense, but now comes the revealing. The snake’s head is exposed, and it will not have the final word. You will.
