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

FOR THOSE IN THE 11TH HOUR

By Nate Johnston • June 30, 2025
(The word below is the transcript of the word I shared live on Friday morning, which you can watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcj1uyGOoM&t=6s )  This morning, I woke up with such an intense sense of intercession. I could feel it so strongly that many people are in an eleventh-hour moment right now. It’s that place where you feel like something has to shift… or you’re not sure how you’re going to keep going. Who’s felt that? Like you’re being pressed on every side, and you’re just exhausted? You’ve been crying out, “God, I can’t take much more.” Maybe you’re in that Gethsemane place, or your own dark night of the soul. Or maybe it doesn’t feel that dramatic, but it’s still heavy, and it’s still real. This morning, I could feel the Lord saying, “Tell them it’s not the end. It’s the transition. It’s the birth.” The enemy is trying to make you think this is where everything collapses. But actually, this is where everything shifts. It reminds me of Daniel, where his prayer was heard the moment he prayed it, but there was resistance in the spirit. The angel told him, “From the first day that you set your heart to understand… your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12). But the enemy tried to block the answer. That’s what it feels like for many right now. Your promise is on the way, but there’s been a delay. And the delay has tried to wear you out. But I believe we’re in an eleventh hour in the best kind of way. God is about to deliver something. You’re on the edge of birthing something new. And I want to declare this over you: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is about to be revealed in us.”Romans 8:18 That’s not just a nice verse to quote. I prophesy that over you today. The glory of God is coming into the very places where you’ve been crushed. The breaking is about to turn into breakthrough. We come against every delay. Every assignment that’s tried to make you give up. Every lie that says this is where it all ends, we break that right now in Jesus’ name. This is not the moment you fall apart. This is the moment you step into fulfillment. Yes, there’s been suffering. But you’re about to see glory. Yes, there’s been pain. But you’re about to see purpose. I’ve been seeing it too, so much witchcraft, slander, chatter, narcissistic and Jezebelic assignments coming against people’s callings. But listen: this is the moment it shifts. This is the moment God turns it around. Some of you have had voices around you saying, “Just lay it down. Just give up. Stop fighting, it’s not worth it.” But that’s not the Lord. That’s a demonic spirit trying to get you to stop short of your breakthrough. This is a moment where you will have to war on your face. If you’ve got a bill you can’t pay, take it into the secret place. If it’s a diagnosis, a court case, a crisis, take it to the Lord and say, “This shifts today.” Don’t wrestle in your flesh, wrestle in the Spirit. Say this “I’m in an eleventh hour moment, but God is about to shift this.” You’re not crazy for feeling the pressure. You’re being set up for glory. And right now, I pray over you - strength over your body, strength over your mind, strength over your spirit in Jesus’ name. Someone’s legs are being healed. Inner ear issues, vertigo is being healed right now. Adrenal fatigue, broken in Jesus’ name. We break every discouragement, every insecurity, every trigger that’s been flaring up. You are anointed. You are called. You are the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). You are not going under, you’re ascending higher. I break every word curse, every false prophetic word that’s come from the accuser of the brethren. I see someone standing at a cliff, saying, “God, I can’t fix this.” And the Lord says, “You don’t have to fix it. I will. Will you trust Me?” This is where we stop trying to figure it out in the flesh and let Him step into the mess. He’s not intimidated by what you’re facing. Surrender it. Die on that spot. Say, “God, I let go.” Because this is where He lives through you. Some of you have lost hope because of what’s going on in the world, or in the church, or in your life. But God says: “Get your eyes off of them. Put your eyes back on Me.” He’s not finished. Your best days are not over. I cancel weariness. I cancel lethargy. I cancel every assignment trying to pull you back into addictions or mindsets from old seasons. I see prescription meds - don’t go back to them. Don’t go back. The Lord wants to show you that He is mighty. Let Him move. Let Him fight. Let Him show you His strength. And I declare again: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Put your hand on your spirit. Step out of the flesh. Speak in tongues. Prophesy. Activate your spirit again. I’ve been through battles these last few years that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every time I hit that breaking point, I get on my face. I die on that spot. And He fights for me. And He’ll fight for you. Lord, show them today. Show them Your goodness. Your favor. Your mercy. Put your hands on your ears and say, “God, deliver me from every lie I’ve believed. Every bit of poison that’s stolen my joy and hope.” Restore marriages, Lord. Restore prodigals. Restore families. Break every yoke in Jesus’ name. That spirit of heaviness it lifts right now. I see people feeling fire on their shoulders. That lightness, that’s the anointing breaking the yoke.. Fire of the Holy Ghost, come. Burn out every assignment. Every oppressive weight. Every unclean spirit, leave now in Jesus’ name. Migraine, go. Shoulders, be released. Pressure in the head lift, In the name of Jesus. I want to pray one more thing. This is bold. I break every demonic assignment especially those rooted in Jezebelic control and witchcraft that have tried to shut down your voice and bring sickness into your body. Be broken now in Jesus’ name. I release boldness over you to rise up and see that spirit for what it is. It’s not welcome anymore. Where it’s tried to shut down your marriage, your calling, your family it breaks now. Some of you have been under this thing for years. But the last six months? It’s intensified. That means it’s about to break. Let’s do this together. Start prophesying. Even if it starts as a whisper. Just say, “I’m not under this anymore. I’m reclaiming my voice.” This spirit has been welcomed in too many churches, families, and leadership teams—but no more. It doesn’t belong. You’re taking your voice back. You’re taking your fire back. You’re stepping into your authority. We need the wild ones. The remnant. The truth-tellers. The revivalists to rise up again. So step into it. In Jesus’ mighty name. I know I got fired up, but I needed to come on and release this. Holy Spirit is doing something powerful. Now go shake that stuff off. Walk your house, put on worship, prophesy out loud. Fight back with the Word of God. And remember: this is the eleventh hour… but it’s not too late. It’s right on time.

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!

By Nate Johnston • June 26, 2025
The hour of the nameless and faceless has come.

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
