THE BATTERING RAM IS BREAKING THROUGH FOR YOU.

THE BATTERING RAM IS BREAKING THROUGH FOR YOU.

THE BATTERING RAM IS BREAKING THROUGH FOR YOU.

Christy Johnston

As I was about to go to bed a number of nights ago, I heard this phrase resound loudly in my spirit, as though a shout from heaven came into my ears: “Call in the battering ram.” Then, all night long, I dreamt of those words, and ever since, they have been repeatedly impressed upon my spirit. As soon as I woke up that following morning, I decided to do a little research on the battering ram, even though I was familiar with the term. The dictionary describes the battering ram as "1. a military siege weapon consisting of a large wooden beam with a head of iron used in ancient times to beat down the walls of a besieged place. 2. a heavy metal bar with handles used to batter down doors and walls.” As soon as I read this, I saw a vision of God’s children standing on the threshold of a new season and their promised land, but before them was a breach, an unauthorised obstacle standing between them and their promise, designed to prevent them from crossing over. I also felt strongly that this obstacle was not necessarily a physical obstacle for many, but an illusion of sorts. It was a discouragement of this past season. The enemy had cunningly placed the feeling of immense discouragement in front of God’s children to have them partner with it and ultimately prevent them from crossing over into their promises.

For myself personally, this past season has been a time of contending, and I believe it has been the same for many. You have seen your promised land in your sights, it’s within your grasp, but the enemy has sent onslaught after onslaught to prevent you from crossing into what God has ordained and promised for you. I saw sons and daughters standing at this threshold of promise with one final roadblock standing in their way. Just one final obstacle between them and your promised land. In this vision, I saw that many were beat down and their spirits were broken. They have fought hard and long and every time the enemy had sent another unexpected obstacle, they have fought back and got back up again… over and over. This time though, I saw the exhaustion and weariness on their faces, with no strength left to fight one last time into victory. Just like the Israelites who had been in their wilderness season for longer than they should have been, when the spies report came back of giants in the land, they fell prey to the negative report, likely because of their weariness, disappointment and exhaustion. They couldn’t imagine mustering up the resolve to fight again.

WORSHIP THAT WILL GIVE WAY TO VICTORY.

The enemy has known all along that if he could get you into a state of despair and discouragement, much like the Israelites, he can prevent you from beating him down as you stand in your promised land. He knows that what awaits him on the other side of your victory is his defeat.. and what awaits you on the other side of this crossing over is unrivalled victory, promise and dreams fulfilled. He can’t kill you, but he can send obstacle after obstacle, breach after breach, disappointment after disappointment and delay after delay until he can get you to fall into agreement that the promise is just an unlikely dream, a fairy-tale. He whispers, “all those prophetic words, they are just words to tease you. They’ll never happen. Look at where you are. You’ll never make it. There are too many giants in the land.” Let me tell you, if you’ve been hearing words like these, allow my voice to SHATTER those lies from your ears. I pray these words will be like those of Joshua and Caleb’s who said, “we can surely take the land.” Allow these words to PIERCE and BREAK the disappointment from your heart. YOU ARE STANDING ON THE THRESHOLD of your PROMISED LAND. It’s time to call in the BATTERING RAM.

In the vision, I heard these words again, “call in the battering ram.” At that moment, a mighty weapon emerged and stood between God’s children and the obstacle that stood in their way. They still appeared weak and exhausted, but I heard the Holy Spirit speak, “Make the decree: WORTHY IS THE LAMB!” For some, a whisper was all they could muster. For others, they fell to their knees in worship as they began to cry through broken tears, “worthy is the lamb.” As they did, the battering ram began to swing back with mighty force, so much so that they had to move quickly to get out of its way as it swung with vigorous weight into the breach that stood between them and their promise. As they continued to speak, “worthy is the lamb” the battering ram picked up momentum. It honestly reminded me of the fall of Jericho, where all God’s children had to do was lift up a shout, and He did the breaking for them. I hear the Lord saying, “you won’t have to fight like you have had to in past seasons. This fight will look different. All you need to do is stay still, worship me and decree what I show you to decree. This battle belongs to me.” If only the Israelites had of known that their battle would be won through a decree, they all would have entered in. I am here to charge you with this today: do not succumb to the negative whisperings of the enemy. Give yourself to worship and He will give you the battering ram. This victory will be the easiest of all.

JESUS – THE BATTERING RAM AND ROD OF IRON.

You’re likely familiar with the picture of a battering ram if you’ve ever watched a war movie of any kind. It’s a large beam like structure with a pointed head, generally made of iron, hinged upon a pendulum device and it is used by an invading army to break down a wall or door. The invading army will align their battering ram with the entrance of the fortified structure that they want to break into and they will begin pulling back the beam which will swing forward with force into the target. They will repeat this until finally, the fortified door breaks down. I find it amazing that the head of the battering ram is generally made out of iron. In Psalm 2:9 it speaks of Jesus wielding a rod of iron saying; “And you will shepherd them with unlimited authority, crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay!” Did you catch that? Iron biblically represents your authority in Christ. Jesus IS the battering ram who breaks through the enemies rebellion. In Genesis 22:13, Abraham discovers a ram caught in the thicket and used the ram as a sacrifice in place of his son. The ram prophetically points to Jesus, the battering ram stuck in the thicket on our behalf. He has gone before you and made a way for you into your promised land. You can know with confidence today that you are NOT stuck… for He was stuck for you. His blood has become that iron head of a weapon that will break down any obstacle and breach that stands between you and your promise.

This is a time of immense breakthrough. I don’t say that lightly. I realise the word ‘breakthrough’ can seem like a buzz word in Christian circles, but I want to highlight a key within the word itself and why it is so powerful that we cannot overlook what God is speaking for this season we are entering. The Hebrew word for breakthrough is ‘Baal Perazim.’ It was first mentioned in 2 Samuel 5:20 where David was battling to possess his own promised land of Jerusalem. David had relentless opposition from the Philistines and he himself was battle weary. Every time he found a small victory, he was confronted with another setback. When He inquired of the Lord, God gave Him a strategy and he fought and won saying, “The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like a breaking flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim.” Baal-perazim means ‘Lord of the Breakthrough’ and it can also be translated as meaning, “Possessor of the breach.” Jesus IS the possessor of the breach, He is the One who breaks through like a breaking flood, over every obstacle that the enemy sends our way. There was however, one final breach that David had to overcome before possessing the land… in the same way that I saw many are facing one final obstacle right now. One last breach. The Philistines had returned back again into the Valley of Rephaim and were trying to unlawfully remain there. David had to fight them again. Rephaim means “That which we’ve been healed from” or “already dealt with.” Many are looking at this breach in front of them thinking, “I’ve already dealt with this, I’ve already been healed from it,” but the enemy is trying to convince you otherwise. This is where the battering ram comes in. God instructed David to go up and stand in front of the Balsam trees (2 Samuel 5:23). From on top of the Balsam trees came the sound of marching and David knew that when they heard that sound, it meant that God had gone before them and they could strike down their enemy with one final blow of victory. What does all this mean for you and I today?

HEALING OF PAST DISAPPOINTMENT.

Amazingly, the Balsam tree is where the healing balm of Gilead is from. The sound of heavens armies are marching upon the Balsam trees in this hour, in response to your obedience. As you obey the Holy Spirits simple instruction to worship, you will feel the forces of heaven behind you. It also points to the fact that you are not going to enter into this new season broken and weary, but healed and restored. A time of great refreshing is coming upon the church as a whole. God is restoring hearts, redeeming the weary, raising up the exhausted and broken and He has gone before you to BREAK down every breach and obstacle of opposition. The healing balm of Gilead is washing and cleansing hearts, in order that you can get up and follow the battering ram through the gates of your destiny. Allow the healing of Jesus wash over you as you worship. You will not carry the disappointments of this past season into the next.

INTERCESSION FOR TRUMP.


As a side-note of intercession, I believe this is also speaking of what we see unfolding with President Trump right now and the impeachment hearings. I believe as we continue to intercede on his behalf and decree “worthy is the Lamb’ over the United States, we are going to see the Battering Ram smash against all of the rebellion and opposition to this God-appointed administration. President Trump has been positioned as a ruler of authority to help guard and protect the Nation in order to help usher in a time of restoration and mighty outpouring in America. This opposition will not be able to withstand the Battering Ram.

CALL IN THE BATTERING RAM.


I am here to instruct you today, “call in the battering ram.” Decree, “Worthy is the Lamb” and you are going to see the Lord of the Breakthrough possess every breach of resistance that has opposed you. Jesus, the head of iron is breaking down the obstacles before you… This is the season of Breaking-Through!

‘To everyone who is victorious and continues to do my works to the very end I will give you authority over the nations 27 to shepherd them with a royal sceptre (a rod of iron). And the rebellious will be shattered as clay pots.’ Revelation 2:26-27 tpt

THIS WEEK DANCE UPON YOUR INJUSTICE!

By Nate Johnston • June 17, 2025
I have a prophetic word for you that I believe is a powerful prophetic key and instruction for those who’ve been dealing with areas of injustice and warfare delaying breakthrough. I believe this word is going to break things open in the spirit, things that have been hanging over you, looming over you, and warring against you from every side for such a long period of time. This whole past weekend I’ve felt an agitation in my spirit that I normally only feel when I am pushed or pressed into a corner in my life but I knew it was intercessory. I knew it was an indicator of sorts that I was picking up on something taking place in the spirit. At first it felt like I was brooding over America, over California, and over the state of the nation and the heart of the church in America. Then it shifted and I found myself praying over Australia and the nations feeling the injustices taking place in so many ways. But no matter how much I prayed this burden lingered so I began to really ask the Lord, “What am I sensing? What am I feeling?” Then suddenly I went into a vision. I saw what I knew to be from 2 Samuel 6 where David danced as the ark was brought back to its rightful place. But what I saw in the vision felt not just dancing as a worship or celebration but more militant. It felt like a fight in the spirit of a taking back of ground. It was fierce and potent and I could feel the anointing coming off of it like it was a divine readjustment and a coming back into alignment with heaven’s order. This shifted the way I saw this historical and prophetic moment. It was worship yes, but it was a spiritual turning point unto national restoration - the return of God’s tangible presence to the heart of the nation after a long absence. It was not some hippy dance of a king that was happy to see a treasured artifact come back to its proper resting place, it was spontaneous, passionate, and unashamed yet It was also politically and spiritually declaring Gods kingship above all. As if David was physically declaring victory over injustice, corruption, and spiritual darkness. Wow! And so I said, “Lord, what am I seeing?” And I heard, “It’s the dancing upon injustice.” Instantly it clicked that this is what is taking place right now. It’s happening in the nation of America and it’s happening in the nations of the Earth. There is a divine shift taking place where God is actually asking the Body of Christ to step into an intercessory place to see a divine reversal of the robbery and injustices that have been occurring. God is bringing things back into order. He’s turning the hearts of nations and He’s turning things around. Then I heard the Lord say “I’m turning back the clock over the nation of America.” I saw a clock begin to tick backward then faster, and faster, and faster. And I knew it was connected to the dance. The dance of intercession reversed the clock. It was the intercession that actually turned back the clock of time, turned back the enemy’s hand that had laid waste and ruin upon the nations. Then I saw it on a micro level where individuals all around the Earth began feeling this agitation as something started shifting, and then I heard it again “It’s time to dance upon injustice!” And right now, so many of us are feeling this agitation. We’re feeling pushback. We’re feeling discontent. We’re feeling frustration in our spirit. But I want to tell you is that this frustration is actually the Lord leading you to dance upon injustices in your nation, in your city, in your region but even now in your own life. You have to understand, we’ve been in a cycle of time where injustices have mounted up. They’ve piled up. And what happens when injustices and robberies and warfare pile up over time? It’s like it blots out the sun and you’re unable to see what God is doing anymore. Hope deferred sets in. Constant robbery makes you weary, because you’ve been putting out fires in your own strength just to keep clearing the way enough to survive. Eventually, you no longer see what God is doing. You no longer remember Him as the Justice-Giver (Isaiah 30:18), as the One who redeems your life from destruction (Psalm 103:4), as the Judge who slams down the gavel in your favor (Psalm 7:11). But let me tell you something - right now, we’re in a moment where the Lord is saying “The key in this moment is to dance upon injustice. And won’t I do it? Won’t I shift all of these things around? Won’t I turn back the clock!even in your own life?” That is what the Lord is saying over you! So right now I’m breaking off the hope deferred, and the weariness of the fight in the mighty name of Jesus! Let the frustration you’ve been feeling this week turn into a dance. Let it turn into intercession. I want to encourage you this week - fight back in the spirit. Fight back not with your head, not with your soul, not with your mind but with your spirit. Begin to dance upon injustice and in the face of the mocking situations in your life you will say what David said: “I will become even more undignified than this” 2 Samuel 6:22 I believe therein lies the key for us as the Church this week - Don’t hold back. Dance upon injustice. Be more undignified Church. PUSH BACK THE DARKNESS! DEFY THE SPIRIT OF THIS AGE! PICK UP YOUR AUTHORITY AGAIN! This is also a governmental decree for us. We must shift. We must come out of our caves. We must come out of timidity. We must stop trying to pander to the culture of this world and to those who don’t understand spiritual things, spiritual realities, and spiritual mechanics. We must call things as they are. The world Is severely blinded. They don’t see what you do. And much of the church are also very influenced by the enemy, blinded, milk fed, and have no discernment. But regardless you must push through. This week, as you dance upon injustice, it’s going to break off the fear of man that’s been keeping you caged and muzzled. It’s going to unleash the prophetic voice that God has given you in this hour that has been silenced. Now watch as God turns back the clock. This week I’m praying that the funds that you’ve been needing to move ahead will come. That the things God has prepared for you to inherit, you will step into. That the doors that need to open will swing wide. That the cases held up in courtrooms spiritually and naturally must be released this week. God is bringing finality to situations in your life that have been in limbo. He’s finalizing and bringing closure to those financial situations, to those relational situations, to those health situations. Suddenly, solutions will come. God is clearing the debris and clearing the overheads of your life. If you believe it, this week begin to dance. Begin to pray. Begin to decree. Begin to prophesy. Break out of that place of timidity, fear, and feeling depleted and defeated because the Lord say “Dance upon injustice and watch Me do the work.” 

THE RISE OF THE HEALERS

By Nate Johnston • June 13, 2025
I believe we are in a window of time right now where God is turning the institutional church back into a hospital again. Just this sentence alone feels like a deep branding upon my heart because I’ve seen it in dreams increasing over the last year - a wounded and battered church and a bound world, but who will restore them? Recently, the Lord spoke to me through a personal experience. I had to go to the dentist for some intense tooth pain, and after visiting two different places neither would fix the issue. I knew there was something prophetic in it. Then the Lord said to me, “Many of my sick, broken, and demonized have been coming into churches, but they are not being delivered or set free.” Ah...there it was. But right now, God is raising up the healers again In a time when the earth more than ever before needs to see the rise of a healing church, a hospital church. Right now God is flipping the script on many ministries and institutions that have been focused on everything but the basics. We have not been doing what Luke 4:18-19 or Matthew 10:8-10 commands us to do. We have not been cleansing the lepers or healing the sick. We’ve drifted from the core of the great commission. The enemy has led us into side paths that do not transform people’s lives. But God is placing a fresh compassion on the Church and is renewing our love for people that sets people free. “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” — Matthew 4:14 If the enemy can make us love ministry more than we love people, if he can trap us in the idolatry of ministry we will fall out of love with the very ones we’re called to serve. Ouch! Yes, we will stop loving people, even though we’re still doing ministry technically but we have lost our true love that enables the power of God to come. And I’m not talking about a love that coddles people in their sin, tolerates demons, or keeps people brainwashed and yoked to false ideologies and fractured identities. I’m talking about the kind of love that walks hand in hand with truth, that drives out demons, and that stands at the crossroads and warns, “That’s not the way!” We need the kind of love that speaks straight and delivers people. Jesus walked in that kind of love. It was compassion that moved Him to perform great miracles. That’s what’s been missing in the Church. We’ve lost our compassion for people. We’ve lost our genuine love. We’re doing ministry for stats, KPIs, content, and reputation. Churches are trying to fill seats, recruit members, and collect tithes while people walk into our buildings bound, broken, addicted, demonized, and they are not being set free. But right now that is changing. The boardroom is being converted to an ER again! As we were leaving Pirate’s Cove on Saturday, the most powerful part of the day was still to come. Just after 6 p.m as the tide was in, a girl came up crying. Her friend asked if I could pray for her, and I did. As I prayed, I could tell she was under serious oppression, and for a few minutes, nothing shifted. But I refused to leave her the way she came. I asked the Lord what was happening. Instantly, I saw her life like a book. I saw shame and pain from the situations she’d walked through. Then I felt the intense love of the Father for her, and He said to me, “Tell her she is pure.” As soon as I said those words, she began to cough uncontrollably until the unclean spirit left. Then she asked to be baptized right there at Pirate’s Cove. It was a victory moment for her, but it was also a marking moment for me. I couldn’t understand at first why it impacted me so deeply. I’ve seen situations like this many times before. I never take them for granted, but this one felt profound. I realized later that it was God speaking loudly through this encounter. Right now, something fresh is happening around the earth. God is showing up in power. The Church is shaking off her chains and becoming who she was always meant to be. There’s an uprising - a movement leaving behind Christianity as usual. But it’s something much holier than we’ve seen before, and we’ll miss it if we’re not paying attention. God is after the broken and the lost. He’s leaving the ninety-nine for the one. He’s flipping the enemy’s lies and calling what was tainted, pure again. Lou Engle once asked, “What if California was the adulterous woman Jesus redeemed?” That day, as I prophesied, I heard myself say, “What if California is the woman at the well, waiting for a church to call her clean?” We have cursed our cities, our states, and our nations as though they are too far gone. But they are only one word away from redemption if the Church would only see God’s heart in the middle of the chaos. This is a time where we must walk in powerful truth and real love. Without both, the Church fails. Weak Christianity is afraid of offending people, so it keeps them bound in the name of kindness. Truth alone might drive out demons, but without love, it doesn’t draw the broken into intimacy with God. We are standing on the edge of something monumental, a move of God that is raw, wild, unpolished, and simple. As it says in Luke 4:18 - 19, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” The days of the hospital church have begun. The days of power are returning. And the days of God’s love driving out darkness are here again. This is our call, to speak what the enemy has called unclean and declare it pure. That is our mandate. Now, let me speak directly to the healers. You know who you are. You know that God has marked you for miracles, signs, and wonders. You’ve known that you’re called to be His healing hands in this moment. But you’ve felt disqualified. You look at your life and feel broken. You’ve fallen. You still need healing. You feel like something inside of you is tainted or poisoned by the last few years of hard battle. You’ve been heavy in your soul, discouraged, and weary. That has been the enemy’s strategy all along, to wear down the healers. To bombard the ones called to bring true deliverance. And because of that, we’ve seen the rise of false deliverance ministries, false healers, counterfeit prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ve stepped into a vacuum because the real healers have been under attack and haven’t yet risen up. But I believe that this moment is a call to the healers to rise again. It’s time to step back into your calling. I had a vision of someone’s legs and I knew this was a prophetic picture of the healers. They were twisted and deformed and decommissioned. And the Lord said to me, “Speak strength to their legs. Speak strength to their backs. Speak strength to their bones.” Suddenly, in the vision, the legs straightened out and they were standing to their feet! I declare the same over you - that every part of your life that has felt out of place, twisted, wounded, or weary, let it be healed and realigned with the hope and truth of God. Healers, rise up. Get your strength back. Get your compassion back. Be healed and take your place. It is time to walk again in the power of God and the compassion of Jesus. So now, in the name of Jesus, I speak to every healer, every deliverer, every voice and vessel who has been marked by God for miracles, but has felt crushed under the weight of shame, warfare, disappointment, or disqualification. I declare over you - this is your resurrection moment. Where the enemy has tainted you, twisted your story, and tried to convince you that you are unclean or unworthy, I now declare by the blood of Jesus that you are being made clean. The stain of the past, the trauma, the compromise, and the confusion is being washed off of you in this moment. I speak a cleansing over your mind, your body, your heart, and your history. The blood still speaks a better word over you. Let every accusation from hell be silenced right now. I call your mantle out of the ashes. I call your voice back from the silence. I declare strength to your bones, fire to your belly, and clarity to your mind. Every dormant gift, every silenced word, every dream buried under discouragement come back to life now in Jesus’ name. Today as you read this you are not just being healed, you are being reinstated. You will no longer walk with a limp from old wounds. What the enemy meant for evil, God is now turning for your good. This is your commissioning moment. So rise, healers! Lay your hands on the sick, cleanse the lepers, deliver the bound, and set the captives free!

Right now God is flipping the script on many ministries and institutions that have been focused on everything but the basics. We have not been doing what Luke 4:18-19 or Matthew 10:8-10 commands us to do. We have not been cleansing the lepers or healing the sick. We’ve drifted from the core of the great commission. The enemy has led us into side paths that do not transform people’s lives. But God is placing a fresh compassion on the Church and is renewing our love for people that sets people free. “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” — Matthew 4:14 If the enemy can make us love ministry more than we love people, if he can trap us in the idolatry of ministry we will fall out of love with the very ones we’re called to serve. Ouch! Yes, we will stop loving people, even though we’re still doing ministry technically but we have lost our true love that enables the power of God to come. And I’m not talking about a love that coddles people in their sin, tolerates demons, or keeps people brainwashed and yoked to false ideologies and fractured identities. I’m talking about the kind of love that walks hand in hand with truth, that drives out demons, and that stands at the crossroads and warns, “That’s not the way!” We need the kind of love that speaks straight and delivers people. Jesus walked in that kind of love. It was compassion that moved Him to perform great miracles. That’s what’s been missing in the Church. We’ve lost our compassion for people. We’ve lost our genuine love. We’re doing ministry for stats, KPIs, content, and reputation. Churches are trying to fill seats, recruit members, and collect tithes while people walk into our buildings bound, broken, addicted, demonized, and they are not being set free. But right now that is changing. The boardroom is being converted to an ER again! As we were leaving Pirate’s Cove on Saturday, the most powerful part of the day was still to come. Just after 6 p.m as the tide was in, a girl came up crying. Her friend asked if I could pray for her, and I did. As I prayed, I could tell she was under serious oppression, and for a few minutes, nothing shifted. But I refused to leave her the way she came. I asked the Lord what was happening. Instantly, I saw her life like a book. I saw shame and pain from the situations she’d walked through. Then I felt the intense love of the Father for her, and He said to me, “Tell her she is pure.” As soon as I said those words, she began to cough uncontrollably until the unclean spirit left. Then she asked to be baptized right there at Pirate’s Cove. It was a victory moment for her, but it was also a marking moment for me. I couldn’t understand at first why it impacted me so deeply. I’ve seen situations like this many times before. I never take them for granted, but this one felt profound. I realized later that it was God speaking loudly through this encounter. Right now, something fresh is happening around the earth. God is showing up in power. The Church is shaking off her chains and becoming who she was always meant to be. There’s an uprising - a movement leaving behind Christianity as usual. But it’s something much holier than we’ve seen before, and we’ll miss it if we’re not paying attention. God is after the broken and the lost. He’s leaving the ninety-nine for the one. He’s flipping the enemy’s lies and calling what was tainted, pure again. Lou Engle once asked, “What if California was the adulterous woman Jesus redeemed?” That day, as I prophesied, I heard myself say, “What if California is the woman at the well, waiting for a church to call her clean?” We have cursed our cities, our states, and our nations as though they are too far gone. But they are only one word away from redemption if the Church would only see God’s heart in the middle of the chaos. This is a time where we must walk in powerful truth and real love. Without both, the Church fails. Weak Christianity is afraid of offending people, so it keeps them bound in the name of kindness. Truth alone might drive out demons, but without love, it doesn’t draw the broken into intimacy with God. We are standing on the edge of something monumental, a move of God that is raw, wild, unpolished, and simple. As it says in Luke 4:18 - 19, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” The days of the hospital church have begun. The days of power are returning. And the days of God’s love driving out darkness are here again. This is our call, to speak what the enemy has called unclean and declare it pure. That is our mandate. Now, let me speak directly to the healers. You know who you are. You know that God has marked you for miracles, signs, and wonders. You’ve known that you’re called to be His healing hands in this moment. But you’ve felt disqualified. You look at your life and feel broken. You’ve fallen. You still need healing. You feel like something inside of you is tainted or poisoned by the last few years of hard battle. You’ve been heavy in your soul, discouraged, and weary. That has been the enemy’s strategy all along, to wear down the healers. To bombard the ones called to bring true deliverance. And because of that, we’ve seen the rise of false deliverance ministries, false healers, counterfeit prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. They’ve stepped into a vacuum because the real healers have been under attack and haven’t yet risen up. But I believe that this moment is a call to the healers to rise again. It’s time to step back into your calling. I had a vision of someone’s legs and I knew this was a prophetic picture of the healers. They were twisted and deformed and decommissioned. And the Lord said to me, “Speak strength to their legs. Speak strength to their backs. Speak strength to their bones.” Suddenly, in the vision, the legs straightened out and they were standing to their feet! I declare the same over you - that every part of your life that has felt out of place, twisted, wounded, or weary, let it be healed and realigned with the hope and truth of God. Healers, rise up. Get your strength back. Get your compassion back. Be healed and take your place. It is time to walk again in the power of God and the compassion of Jesus. So now, in the name of Jesus, I speak to every healer, every deliverer, every voice and vessel who has been marked by God for miracles, but has felt crushed under the weight of shame, warfare, disappointment, or disqualification. I declare over you - this is your resurrection moment. Where the enemy has tainted you, twisted your story, and tried to convince you that you are unclean or unworthy, I now declare by the blood of Jesus that you are being made clean. The stain of the past, the trauma, the compromise, and the confusion is being washed off of you in this moment. I speak a cleansing over your mind, your body, your heart, and your history. The blood still speaks a better word over you. Let every accusation from hell be silenced right now. I call your mantle out of the ashes. I call your voice back from the silence. I declare strength to your bones, fire to your belly, and clarity to your mind. Every dormant gift, every silenced word, every dream buried under discouragement come back to life now in Jesus’ name. Today as you read this you are not just being healed, you are being reinstated. You will no longer walk with a limp from old wounds. What the enemy meant for evil, God is now turning for your good. This is your commissioning moment. So rise, healers! Lay your hands on the sick, cleanse the lepers, deliver the bound, and set the captives free! 

STUCK IN LAST SEASON’S BATTLE BONDAGE? HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU BEHIND!

By Nate Johnston • June 10, 2025
As I stood on the rocks at Pirates Cove yesterday, watching hundreds of people being baptized, I was overwhelmed by what I was seeing. History yet again was being written. I thanked God for the hunger that was present that day and the day before when we gathered - the countless people encountering the presence and power of God. Clearly, God is moving right now on the earth in a new and fresh way. But as I stood there, these words suddenly rose in my spirit - “He leaves no one behind” It rocked me thinking about the seasons in my life when I felt lonely, abandoned, and lost when people around me were experiencing the opposite. It’s easy in moments of heartache, hope deferred, and deep brokenness to feel like you’re the only one going through it. It’s easy to feel like others are advancing and thriving while you’re still stuck, and still broken. But I believe God wants to encourage those who feel stuck this week, those who feel left behind in the past seasons battle and battle weariness and bondage. Those who feel unable to move forward because of pain from the past and the wounds it inflicted. God is not going to leave you behind! I’m reminded of the man who sat by the Pool of Bethesda because he couldn’t walk. “One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years… Then Jesus said to him, ‘Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.’ At once the man was cured” — John 5:1-9 That pool was surrounded by people who were sick, lame, and broken down, all hoping to be the one who got their fresh start. And right now in the midst of revival fires beginning to burn and something fresh that God is doing, many still feel stuck. David said it well in the psalms; “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” — Psalm 13:1 And like David many are saying; God, I don’t feel like I’ve moved anywhere. Nothing has shifted for me. I’m still dealing with the same situations, the same lack, the same health problems, the same relational and family issues. God, have You forgotten me?” But just like the man at the Pool of Bethesda, God did not leave him behind. Jesus went to him directly, healed him, and gave him a new beginning. Think of the woman at the well. “A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’— John 4:4-7 She felt judged, abandoned, and lonely yet Jesus met her in that very place. He leaves no one behind. So I prophesy over you this week - You are going to have encounters with Jesus, where He reveals His heart to you in the very place you feel stuck. You’re going to experience the breakthrough power of God in your life, power that will shift you out of pain, brokenness, and those continual cycles of dysfunction, addiction, and torment. The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1 And right now many are carrying the spiritual bondage from past seasons and it feels like a massive blockage in the road but they just don’t know how to get rid of it. It’s heavy, it’s like a poison that won’t seem to flush from your system. It’s got its roots in deep but it’s no match for the power of God. In a moment the Holy Spirit can take an axe to those obstacles. Right now as I’m writing this I see them in the spirit like bricks cemented in but the Lord is right now shaking them loose! They must go! Every demonic spirit hanging around you trying to keep you tethered to bondage leave now in Jesus name! Shame go! Unclean spirits leave! As we were leaving the gathering on Saturday (the day before Pentecost Sunday), I met an amazing woman of God. I got to witness her encounter Jesus in a powerful way. We saw God completely set her free from a demonic assignment that had been following her around. Then, I got to take part in her baptism there at the famous Pirates Cove. I could feel it - she had felt a little left behind. I hadn’t prayed for her that day. Yet just as we were walking out, God ordained that moment. It was her time. I felt the loving compassion of God so strongly because I’ve been in those moments. Moments when I felt forgotten. When it felt like no one saw me. But friend He sees you. You are not left behind. I imagine the day when the believers were in the upper room. They came out speaking in tongues. Yes, some mocked them. But imagine if you were one of the 500 originally there and the enemy lied to you, and you left the room too soon. You would have missed it. “God, I’ve faithfully served You… and I missed it?” Ouch… that is it right there. So many people feel like that right now. But the Lord wants you to know - You are seen. You are not forgotten. He will not leave you behind. Right now, He is rescuing you from the grip of that past season and ushering you into a new one even as you read these words. I command every chain, every tie to your past that’s held you back to break NOW in the mighty name of Jesus. And I pray that ALL yokes break off your life, and that the Holy Spirit fills your heart and cup anew in Jesus’ name. Now watch this week as God reveals himself to you in a new way. Through dreams. God kisses. Signs of His goodness. Your old chapter has ended. It’s time to step into the new. 

ARE YOU AT A THRESHOLD OF FAITH?

By Nate Johnston • June 6, 2025
I have some encouragement for the pioneers. Over the last few weeks, I’ve kept hearing this language - that we are at thresholds of faith. What is a threshold? A threshold is defined as: the point of entering or beginning something new. So, what is a threshold of faith? A threshold of faith is a place you come to when you can no longer keep operating or living within the confines of your previous limitations. God is leading you into a significant breakthrough in that area to expand you and prepare you for what’s coming. Thresholds of faith at first feel like pressure. They feel emotionally triggering. They feel like the enemy is warring against your mind. It can feel even feel like a rollercoaster of soul highs and lows as God brings precious things to the surface to free you and lighten you. Why? Because God is pulling you higher, and the enemy is trying to keep you lower. God is calling you to fly like an eagle, while the enemy wants to keep you grounded with the turkeys. In this calling we go from glory to glory with God (2 Corinthians 3:18). So He’s always leading us into greater levels of truth about who we are and about our calling as sons and daughters, as leaders, and as fathers and mothers. There are always deeper dimensions of capacity, anointing, character, and fruit that we are meant to walk in. So we go through thresholds of faith not because something is wrong or because things are falling apart, but because we’ve asked Him for more. This pressure is the very thing we’ve been praying for. But we often forget - before breakthrough comes, God upgrades our internal operating system. If He brings us into breakthrough without transformation, we’ll crash and burn. The issue is that In this consumer-Christian culture we’ve inherited, we want our circumstances to change, but we often resist the internal transformation required. We avoid deliverance. We avoid healing. We avoid conviction. We avoid the refining fire. We want the goods without the fire. We want the promise without the pruning. But it doesn’t work like that. Right now, the Lord is trying to pull us higher, but there’s been a battle. There’s been tension. And there are moments where everything around you feels like it’s in ruins. Promises haven’t come to pass and God didn’t come through. That’s where the fight is because it feels too late, like it’s the eleventh hour and so how can you trust God again when your last promise didn’t come to pass? By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.” - Hebrews 11:11 Sarah’s breakthrough looked impossible. She was past the point of fruitfulness. But God was working internally. She had to shift her focus to His ability, not her own. She had to stop striving and simply trust His miracle-working power. That’s how you know you’re at a threshold - you feel barren. You feel like nothing is working. And yet, God is asking you to believe again. To dream again. To step forward into something you don’t even have faith for yet. He’s not asking for perfect faith. He’s asking for a yes. Thresholds often feel like the most broken, most vulnerable, most disqualified place you’ve ever been. And that’s exactly where God chooses to expand you. Not when everything’s in order. Not when you feel strong. It’s when you feel empty, unworthy, and unprepared that He calls you into the new. As I was praying about this, I kept hearing the word “Jordan” and I instantly knew what the Lord was showing me. In the Bible, the Jordan River represents thresholds of calling, identity, and breakthrough. Joshua 3:17 – The Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. 2 Kings 2:8 – Elijah struck the Jordan before being taken up. 2 Kings 2:14 – Elisha crossed back with a double portion. Matthew 3:13 – Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, then led into the wilderness. Genesis 32:22 – Jacob crossed the brook Jabbok (connected to the Jordan), leaving behind his old identity and life. I believe we are at the Jordan right now with our foot about to step in. Oh not deeper waters! It’s scary. What if I can’t swim? What if I trip? That’s what we feel in this moment. I’ve felt it in my own life where God is stretching me and I know it’s for my benefit. But in the natural, it looks like warfare, mental attack, depletion and robbery, failure, closed doors, confusion, and feeling out of your depth. Why? Because God is revealing the places you’ve placed your trust, your identity in and is revealing where you leant on your hustle, your gifting, and your own strength. Those things can’t sustain you anymore. And at the same time, the enemy is trying to discourage you, to make you give up right at the point of the threshold. He wants you to break right before your breakthrough. But God is asking you: Will you trust Me in this moment? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working? A few months ago, I was in that exact place surrounded by doubt and pressure. And I heard the Lord whisper “The only way to survive this season is to stay at My feet. Stay in My presence.” That’s the key to crossing the threshold. Not knowledge. Not connections. Not hustle. Just surrender. So I prophesy this over you now - Just as Caleb and Joshua lingered in the tent and came out with a different spirit, so will you. You will cross the threshold with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart. Even now, God is breaking off the old operating system. He is breaking off the pain and reproach of your past. “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” - Joshua 5:9 The shame, the failure, the false labels they are being cut away. You are being recommissioned. This threshold of faith is the breakthrough you’ve been praying for and it’s time to step over in Jesus name!
